I feel like both William and Wolf would be able to take Sam down. Genma Sam vs Living Weapon William would be a pretty epic samurai clash, though.

Isn't S
Unless they just recycle the game and dont address the first one's problems.

William is equally immortal due to his connection with his guardian spirit, Saiorse. It stays on him even when she is stolen away at the start of the game.
William is pretty much the definition of Sengoku Big Dick Energy. He single handedly won the Battle of Sekigahara and Siege Of Osaka in an abridged version of the battles where demons like this and this are deployed. Not only that but he is so adept at fighting that legendary masters of every fighting art line up in the afterlife to take him as their pupil and after he learns their techniques he beats them up for good measure too. He has been granted immortality by his own guardian spirit and after he lands in Japan he wins over several more spirits to his side. He has already defeated multiple legendary ninjas (the current and former head of the Iga ninjas, Sarutobi Sasuke and Ryu Hayabusa's ancestor Jin Hayabusa) so he knows how to handle a Ninja. He fully masters both Ninja, Samurai and Onmyo arts. Even after he defeats every single yokai in Japan he's not content and starts descending Hell (all 999 floors of it! Seriously, it's in the lore) to fight his old opponents who has gotten stronger in the afterlife. Wolf never stands a chance, lol.

He's such a badass that freaking Oda Nobunaga, of all people, just gives up and leaves rather than facing his full wrath.
I assume you missed the previous explanations in the thread, but he has a skill named "sense enemies" that literally tells him where every enemy around him is (manifested gameplay wise as a radar with a red dot for every enemy). Wolf really can't stealth his way around this because William knows where he is at any time.
NPCs in Sekiro really laugh it up when Sekiro is being a dimwit, like when he mentions how he chews raw rice grains and the other being actually weirded out and telling him that you are supposed to cook it. Good amount of humour in there. People basically calling him cute at his antics. He's got agency and can confront them in conversation which i would have never expected from this game and its very much tied to the story. At least when it comes in comparison to other souls player characters you have someone with their own ideals.
Anjin-dono for me. He has so much versatility, powers, spirits, and tools. Not to mention divine class weaponry.
William relies on stamina, he'd get stealth killed and overwhelmed. Sekiro would get the W especially with 2 lives. Snap seed works on sloth I just decided
Sekiro has buffs both in his skill tree and through consumables that basically make him undetectable for a set period of time. William gets his wig split from above
Watch a good player playing Sekiro.... There are already amazing speedruns. More impressive than the runs of Ni OH. Sekiro guy is a monster in the hands of skilled players.It's still honeymoon for Sekiro and most people seem to click and don't care to elaborate, and if they were, they would see that Nioh wins. And it's hard to see 'your boy' loosing.
Yeah, I'm not even feeling those badass Shinobi vibes when dying 30 times a row at every boss. "Difficult but fair" is still the catch phrase, eh? Probably applies to any game now.
The real winner is
This poor bastard is stuck in the world of tank controls.
What a loser!
I laughed at that poll results. No matter how popular or more liked Sekiro is compared to Nioh, William would beat the shit out of Sekiro.
How can William lose with magic, Guardian Spirits (literally Gods) and diablo-like loot that grant him random stuff like 'unparriable' status.
Even if he gets stealth-killed, William has resurrection talismans (quick-change) that auto-revive him when he's killed or he can auto-revive with the Phoenix Guardian Spirit. Either way, as soon as he revives and enters living weapon mode, he becomes immortal and his attacks become unblockable (and have longer attack animations than however many i-frames dodging can have)

Explaining why is too much work.It's still honeymoon for Sekiro and most people seem to click and don't care to elaborate, and if they were, they would see that Nioh wins. And it's hard to see 'your boy' loosing.

And then William gets pissed off and slaughters Yamata-no-orochi.
Yeah he's the definition of badass.

Obviously we need a Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale 2 to settle this. Exclusive to Japan, coming soon on the Playstation Swap.
I'm not very far into Sekiro yet, but so far I'm not very impressed with Wolf. He's failed his master 3 times already, got his arm chopped off, got stabbed and left to die in a fire, and that's just a few hours in. It sounds like he gets all powered up later, but damn if this guy isn't the biggest loser of a protagonist I've seen in years. He's Captain Mulligan.
As for Nioh, I quit that game after I realized I'd spent more time making swords eat other swords in my inventory screen than actually playing. So yeah, William won't even show up for the fight.

And yet we're talking about the characters power and abilities.Not how a player can speedrun through a game.
Speedruns where there already going under the map and glitching the whole process, Luckily this is a character thread determining who would win etc.
The poster that I quote wrote "Yeah, I'm not even feeling those badass Shinobi vibes when dying 30 times a row at every boss ".... So for him Sekiro doesn't even look strong . I merely saying that high skill play of Sekiro make the character seems like an unbeatable Ninja. And yeah... Sekiro guy would win because of more than one life and infinite stamina.
I really don't think the lack of a stamina gauge insinuates Wolf literally has infinite stamina. It's actually fairly easy to stun and stagger him.
People here are insane. Sekiro is the superior game. But William has far more at his disposal. He has numerous abilities that would destroy Sekiro. However if we count in supposed endless resurrection I guess he can't technically win.
But the answer in just a fight is William.

Just rename the poll, "Which game do you like more?" because none of you have to seriously think Sekiro would win unless you've experienced a debilitating head injury recently.
