So I have a new thought on samurai after playing blade and soul. I really think that it should have two different sword stances for it's attacks that it flows between in a similar concept to the mnk. A basic stance that it starts out in with the katana drawn normally and from there it transitions in to a draw stance where it holds the katana "sheathed" and does another special attack before switching to the sword being drawn and that cycle repeats based on the attacks it does.
