SamSho 1 & 2: How do you get by on lvl 4 or higher

I was practicing on the easier settings and beat SamSho 2 on lvl 2 with Cham Cham. I felt confident and bumped it up to normal/MVS and I keep on getting owned by the 3/4/5 fighter. Its ridicolous, the comp seems to read all my moves and blocks almost everything. I have to either get by throwing or resort to cheapness in my number 1 character Cham Cham in Samsho 2 or Earthquake in 1&2. Do I have to be patient and strike tactfully or just all out blitz the comp?

Well got 9 deep on lvl 4 with Jubei falling to Genan. Just blitzed the hell out of the comp.

I could bet both games on lv.8 with Gen-an and Hanzo, and with Genjuro and Hoahmaru in SS2. After playing these games for years and years they don't provide me with much of a challange anymore.But I still love'em.

That's cool Giby, but what is your strategy? I keep on getting owned as Hoahmaru once I get 5 deep.
