Which has the better value? The cheapest DLC characters? The more noob friendly?
I checked the EVO announcements and these two grabbed my interest the most.

Samurai Shodown or GranBlue Fantasy Versus?

Granblue is a lot more active online and has good tutorials. DLC is a bit pricey though.
I'd still go for Granblue. Great game.

The story mode on Granblue isn't very good imo. It's set up like a Beat em up but it's pretty shallow. I would not consider it a selling point at all.
The story mode of granblue is uhh there? Is flashy and cool looking fully voiced and with nice cutscenes with some light rpg mechanics but it lacks meaningful content imo
The Beat'em up mode feels very "thrown in for padding" but GrandBlue Fantasy Versus I feel is the superior game. It's super beginner friendly and has a fantastic tutorial. The next season will see the roster in a good state variety-wise.

Understood. That's why I like hearing player's opinions, the Italian reviewers said it was 'interesting'.
Oh but one more thing, there's some incentive to play the story mode as it unlocks the first dlc characters for free, it's also the only way to get extra colors and weapon skins so if you care about the character or aesthetic customization I guess it's worth going trough it
Both are very focused on neutral game.
I find Granblue more enjoyable for pick-up and play.
Samsho is great if any of your friends also play it. Since it's a more deliberate gameplay, it generates tenser moments that culminate in hype :P

Technically the 4 Evo games you can actually enter are Killer Instinct, Skullgirls, Mortal Kombat 11, and Them's Fightin' Herds. The rest are just exhibitions is my understanding.
I'd say Granblue though.

I think SamSho is the far better fighter, but if you're just gonna do netplay than GB is probably the better pick.
If you're going to play locally with a friend, I think Sam Sho is the more fun back and forth game
If you plan to play Single Player or online and want to be part of a bigger community, Gandblue is the game to go.
However both games are quite different from one another, with Sam Sho being a slower, simpler more methodical game whereas Grandblue is straight up anime flash

They fucked it up with the netcode it seems and also they haven't released it on Steam yet...
It's coming to EGS though later this year.
They're both really fun. Probably Granblue right now since there's an actual online community.
I haven't touched the story mode on either game, so if you're looking for single player stuff, you can just disregard this post.
I think overall, SamSho is the better game. Wasn't really a huge fan of Granblue's special cool down or combo system and wound up dropping it after a month or so. They're both pretty great at teaching you how to play neutral, but Granblue leans pretty heavy on getting people in the corner.
That said Katalina is rad if you just wanna play an ST style Ryu.

aw dang
Does it have good single player content at least? Story? Survival Mode?
No.
Story mode was like 4 pictures per character or something to tell a basically nothing story? It's just like an arcade mode.
It has survival mode I think.
It was supposed to have this ghost mode that utilizes data from other players to re-create their fighting style but it didn't fucking work whatsoever and the ghosts played way worse than the base CPU would.
The game is a barebones mess if you don't have people to play with. But the gameplay is wonderful. Extremely neutral and read heavy, and feels much more methodical and tense than any other fighter.
