gonna push my imaginary narrative that SHIKI mains would've been all poopy heads and their character severely annoying to fight against if he were to be in the game
(he screams trapper/setup character and would've fit nicely with the other godforsaken ones)
Like when you play Melty, lightning is such a huge part of his moveset that it makes you assume he just HAS to have it in the vn, and then when you read Tsukihime, you get so used to SHIKI and Roa just having a knife and being homeless that you forget Melty exists
