For me, I can win the first match (best of 3), in under 12 seconds using Genjuro, Tamtam, Kazuki, Sogetsu, Ukyo, Haohmaru, Jubei, and any other character with a good ranged C attack. I'll take them out in 2 combos - each one consisitng of 2 hits. Level 4 of course.
SS3 is a lot different. The AI thinks a little more even at the first level. I can get into an infinite with Genjuro and take out the opponent in about 10 seconds per round, making it 20 seconds on the match. Total hits needed do exceed 4 to kill the opponent.
So SS4 definitely deals out more damage. The palettes are bland, and the only good music used in the game (which was rare if you heard music), was rehashed form SS3 (Genjuro's track being the best in the game).
Now I may hold SS4 at the bottom of my list, but I do love playing as Kazuki with the exploding pants.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Wasabi! SS3 has definately lacks in gameplay! It takes only 2 fierce slashes with Haoumaru to kill any adversary. And SS3 has not got 2 life gauges to make it up for.
In SS3 the Special Moves are rather useless, due to the fact that they do not enough damage. So the whole fight ends up in a jump n slice orgy.
IMO it is the least part to be worth playing.
If a Sam Sho 5, please with Gameplay of 4, Atmosphere of 3 and char selection from SS 64 would be released.....
