Last 20 years there has been a bias against Asian games for a large part. It peaked in the 7th gen when Japan got a lot of hatred and we saw Japan try and chase western appeal with gritty reboots of DMC, Castlevania, Bomberman, and more. Or they made new IPs chasing Western trends esp Gears. From good ones like Binary Domain to VanQuish to bad ones like Quantum Theory. The hate eased up somewhat in the mid-8th gen when Nier Automata/Persona and stuff came out. Tho there are still the fake outrage morons who raise a fuss about big tits in Dragon's Crown or butts in NA and Stellar. Meanwhile, those same people praise literal fuck in TLOU and naked fuck happy elf men in BG3. The bouncy physics and appeal of the character is no worse than anything in the Dead or Alive main series but certainly doesn't sink to the low of the Volleyball games.

I have played a bit of SB now and it's a great game but it doesn't fit in a singular mold. Some try to sell it as Souls. It's not. Or think it's Nier. It's not. It's a game with a mix of a lot of things. I'd argue there is some Ninja Gaiden in it on top of the others but not an NG game either. It's not Souls. It's not Stylish Action. It's not Nier. Yet it kinda mixes them all in so something familiar and fresh. The music is fantastic. VA is good. The visuals are great. It takes itself seriously as a story and that it has in common with NA.
