I really liked the way the Hanzo Galford match played out. It also helped that the background was so well made.

I'm pretty sure you could make an epic fight video out of any garbage game. Like Tekken or some tripe.

The secret to beating the computer cold is to just AB swap positions up close. Get used to this and you can run over the cpu.

wow.
I'll try it out.
I always had a hard time fighting close.
I know I'm not great, but I always found it difficult to get in close
(i use gaira and always try to land a throw)

This works really well against Zankuro. He'll fall for it almost everytime.
Another good technique is to get 3/4 of the screen away from the AI and throw a projectile. The AI will jump at you, and if you have any sort of upper-swing hard or medium slash you can nail him with it.

If you really want to run through the CPU to get to Zankuro use bust Galford and follow the plasma blade with a running striking heads while the CPU is blocking. You can rush this game down with those two moves all day long.
Fuck, SSIII is still one of the best games on the Neo hands down

It's hard to appreciate a match or combo vid when you know little about it.
When you watch some of the Tekken juggles involving punches, the notation would be like:
+4, 1, 
,,n+1, ,,n+1 ,,n+1, 4,3~
,~,+4.But to someone who knows nothing about the game they would assume the juggle was just
+4, 1, +1, +1, +1, 4,3,4Similarly I always felt SS3 gameplay revolved around poking until a hard slash opportunity came by. I watched the vids but don't know half of what's going on. Wish I did.

I know a lot of people back SS2 as the best of the series but as far as I'm concerned 3 is the pinnacle. The sprites are fantastic, the backgrounds are gorgeous, the music and sound are some of the best in the series and the overall atmosphere is perfect. The only knocks against are the high '95 damage and sketchy hit detection (which will soon be fixed).
Samurai Showdown 3 is a masterpiece. Simply elegant.

Been fixed for a while now Mike. And yes, it changed the game. Better than ever.
I always liked this SS in the series, the only thing that I didn't like in the past, was when it was first out in the arcade, I would get to a certain point and the CPU would rape me in 4 hits or less...
