>>10634931He was very meh for a long time. I saw a consistent pattern of people joining the G1 gamethreads or friends watching the G1 with me for the first time and loving SANADA but souring on him with repeat viewings. He was a movez guy who didn't do a lot of movez and half of the movez he did were lame looking like Skull End, his only high impact move was the TKO. He was basically just great value Kota Ibushi.
Since joining J5G he's been a bit better but I think a lot of it is placebo, the Jungle Boy match exposed to me that SANADA is still a follower in the ring and that he's just been working with people who have insane levels of charisma like Hiromu and Tsuji.
That being said he's one of those guys that to a Western audience is just inexplicably over as fuck in Japan.
