Story
Kenuichio Harada, better known as Silver Samurai, is a mutant with the ability to create tachyon fields, and focus them onto anything. Generally he puts this on his sword, allowing it to cut through almost anything. He is a sometimes foe-sometimes friend of the X-Men, and Wolverine in particular.
In Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Silver Samurai is a very flexible character with a great projectile, good mixup, an instant overhead, and one of the best supers in the entire game. With just one meter, you can hard punish any bad assist call, and the super is 100% safe on block. Generally, Silver Samurai fits with any team. He loves having meter, and has two decent assists, though generally he needs an assist to do anything special. He also has the most supers of any character in the game, but most of them are not that useful.
Gameplay
Silver Samurai is a flexible fighter who can do a lot with very little. Even having just one bar is enough to get your opponent to rethink calling assists. He also has good health, and great chip damage.
