It's a she ;)
Baiken is all about defense and mind games. She has the 2nd-softest defense rating (last place is Chipp), but her attack and toughness increase as she edges towards death. Most of her moves are Counters for every situation (high, mid, low, etc.). She has a running block, can stab downed opponents, and can air dash in one tap instead of two. She has a bread and butter tatami move that's quick and cancels most things, comboing easily, and is easy to roman cancel into. And finally one of her overdrives locks out one of the opponent's buttons as well as gives them 1 of 3 status effects: Can't Jump, Deals less damage, and Takes more damage.
She's not really top tier because she has terrible air game, has only 1 mid attack, can't trade blows, and has no ranged attacks but man is she fun to play around with.
When Revelator was announced, they held a fan poll for who the last character was gonna be. Baiken won 2nd place against stupid ol' Dizzy. So here's to her finally appearing in the next one hopefully.
The guy I play with all the time, also despises me. He's a Chipp playah. We always like doing 9-round Samurai vs Ninja bouts
Wow it's been a year since this happened. And let's not forget about this. We need another one of these soon.
