Cervantes what do you think of this? You're a SoR fan aren't you? As a fellow SoR fan, do you agree or disagree with any of my points here when comparing these two games? I haven't even played it yet due to a huge backlog that I'm trying to go through (I've finally beaten stuff like Onimusha, Okami, DOA 1-4 and Dark Souls 2, that were sitting unplayed for years). But frankly, from every video and review that I've seen, the game seems to be among the best recent 2d beat'em ups, top tier stuff. The chosen art style might be controversial for the series, but it's still nice looking in its own right and the gameplay seem to be no slouch either. I'm actually kind of excited to play it down the line, as soon as I have beaten some more of my backlog (there's Valkyria 4, Death Stranding, Shenmue 3 and other games that I'm prioritizing). I'll be interested in what you think about Valkyria Chronicles 4.

The design is about what I'd expect from an indie dev. She looks fun to play so no big deal. I hope these aren't our only three characters though, I need to play as a grappler or I'm not gonna be interested in the game for more than 10 minutes.
Cherry Hunter is a racist blackface stereotype. I would take a Disney SJW "OC" like that Deviantart parody over a racist black face stereotype like Cherry Hunter. Funny how the final, official character design for Cherry Hunter turned out to be even worse than the skeptical fanboys made her out to be. Even when I look past her racist design, I can't even say or think her name without cringing. Streets of Rage 4 is one of the most embarrassing games Sega ever published.
