Interesting how Nago looks to Baiken as someone to learn more about using a sword despite being a immortal vampire who is near confirmed to be Yasuke, which would mean he served in the Sengoku period under Oda Nobunaga and has survived to this point for centuries. Baiken must be a absolutely goated duelist in her mortal lifespan if Nago seeks advice from her.

When Xrd vanilla got dubbed only to then have the dub be subsequently dropped immediately upon going towards the next version of Xrd I was pretty pissed. The dubs back then for vanilla Xrd were amazing and after seeing Strive I'm happier than I've ever been to hear english voices come back. The voice actor director still sucks ass at getting the absolute best out of these amazing voice actors but this is just common for fighting games these days. It's as if the voice directors are hired solely on how little fucks they give to maximize voices but ah well. They still sound amazing nonetheless.

I’m so glad to hear someone else liked the -Sign- dub! I fucking loved David and Sam’s performances in Xrd and feel that the lack of English dub in Rev2 is such a cruel void left in an otherwise nearly perfect game. I even think Xrd’s dub has some better line reads than Strive, especially in Sol’s attack banter. His new “DRAGOOON install” feels so strange when in Xrd he was screaming it perfectly. I also think Sam Regal is still the best Ky, so light and gentlemanly. Sorry, Im gushing. I’ll go now haha

The one complain I have about her VA is that she could’ve sounded a bit more… feral. A bit more raspy is what I mean. Otherwise, not bad for her very first English VA.

I think it's an allusion to Baiken's fighting style. She doesn't have a whole lot of options for going on the offensive, so her attacks can be rather predictable. On the other hand, she has the ability to attack from a defensive position, meaning that if you get too aggressive or attack carelessly you will get punished.

2:42 That moment right there fellas. It confuses me every time I see it. In the older games this victory pose would be censored starting from Rev2. I don't know why they can't show us a samurai licking his blade after battle when we might have seen it in other media. I remember when Goemon in a Lupin movie did it before battling an opponent, and the opponent remarked that Goemon did that because he thinks his opponent is not worthy of his blade. Why is it a problem then to censor it when Baiken does it? Is it censored even in the Japanese version? Hell is it even censored in the Japanese/arcade version of Xrd Rev2? I'm just curious on the WHY

It's not censored- she's wiping her blade on a cloth to cleanse blood from it. Note the small strips floating off after she does that. However, because she's missing an arm, she has to wipe the blade off in a rather convoluted manner- namely, by holding either the cloth or the sword in her mouth.

I think licking the blade would even be considered disrespectful to the blade itself and it would frame Baiken as purely sadistic mad woman rather than a hatred driven one. She’s violent, but she’s not crazy. Don’t remember ever seeing her licking her blade either, she’s just holding the cloth between her teeth and passing the blade through it to clean it. In dust strikers the resolution is horribly downgraded, but they recycled the exact same sprites used in accent core. You might have missed the cloth detail in the sprite and thought she was doing it with her bare mouth
