Samurai Shodown III Combo Video...

- Start date
Hey BonusKun, whats up. Havent seen you in ages.
Sorry, but this once again proves how much SS3 is terrible.
ALL of those combos were done in 1 of 2 conditions.
First, all combos were shown as 2 Player Vs matches. No 1p vs Computer, and the 2nd player RARELY, (if at all) moved. They were a dummy, waiting for the hits.
Secondly, 99% of those combo vids (although cool looking) were done with the spinaround move, (and again, player 2 was a crash test dummy) And no one was blocking.
Third and final point, (yeah i know there were only 2, but I just watched it again, and saw somehting else) THIRDLY... Several of those combos were repetitive moves. Slash, projectile, slash, projectile, slash, projectile... or several quick kicks/slashes in a row. And you can actually count the minutes... MINUTES AND HOURS... of recoil time in this vid.
If I were to see that at a real arcade, (this was obviously recorded using an AES, or an Emulator set to US language) with 2 GOOD SS3 players.. then, and ONLY then would I be impressed. That could never happen with the other player actually PLAYING.
Sorry, i know i Ranted.. i just hate this game alot.
This game is TERRIBLE.

I never said SS3 was a good game. I was just impressed someone took the time to at least showcase the game even with all of it's horribie faults.

Yeah I know. Still the person *persona* went through a lot of troubel to do this so I have to give him props.

Yeah I know. It was worth a look tho seeing as there really is nothing out there on this game.

Well that's what you get with this game. It's got serious recoil issues. It's the worst of the Series but it's still Samurai Shodown and it's fun.

lol This guys owns an AES I know personally from what I've been told. I'm guessing it's unmodded but that's a moot point

Yeah those easy cheesey 14 hits Kill SS4's gameplay. Especially those Haohmaru infinites, plus all the ones on basara when switching.
Check remu's older site for vids of em.
SSIII is just as guilty with its lag connections. Just switch plains and etc.
Persona proved that with that cool vid.
SS3 is really kinda low skill wise, and SS4 as well.
I cant play a seriously match in 3 with things doing insane damage.

Wow! What a cool video. There was so much that I didn't know about in there. I should practice those tonight when I'm not playing Ikaruga. 
The infinite combos in SS3 are things of beauty in and of themselves, especially the way they were executed in that video.
Back in 1996, my friends and I played this in the arcade all the time, and it was a rare thing to actually catch someone with an infinite, but when you did, it was usually a hard lesson to take in.
But you know, I did my time with SS3, and that's where I learned to love it. I got to play it in its prime. So many of these neuvo-fans who tried to get heavily into the Neo well after Sam Sho 3 was released will never be able to grasp why SS3 is superior to SS4. It's okay I guess. You guys who claim SS3 is shit are just little kids anyways.
Thanks for the link Bonus. It was fun to watch.

I'm with you, EvilWasabi... SS3 was (and is) still my favorite of the series. I'll freely admit it has plenty of problems, but it's still the most fun for me. The versus matches I've had in that game were definitely for the record books.
My Bust Genjuro vs. Mike Pureka's Slash Nakoruru battles were nothing short of epic.

Yeah, the infinite combos are kinda cool, but the really take away from the game if over used because they are sooooo easy to do. I have to agree though with you Deuce, SS3 rocks. I can remember many matches between my Bust Galford and my friends Slash Genjuro or Basara...nothing like a good bloodfest to dig into. Still my fave game of the series.
Thank you Jeff, for backing me up here. I'm glad you still lurk the scene.
I really miss your old site for the hanafuda section.

I'm glad some people here actually enjoyed it seeing as that was the point of me posting the link in the 1st place.
Generally tho Samurai Shodown III wasn't my personal fave of the series seeing as Part II gets that honor. I think I play Part 1 the least out of all of them but III was decent enough even if Zankuro was a whore in that game.
lol @Fran,
Hey I actually enjoyed the shitty combos in IV seeing as you could have a serious laugh out of some of the things you could get away with. Who know maybe one day I can play ya and see how good a pitchless dig really is? <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

That's kind of funny, because Ninja Masters is exceptionally balanced. Anyone can easily beat the last boss with a modicum of skill, even though the last boss can destroy you in one combo.
Kizuna is pretty balanced up until you get to ShinShiShiOh.
As for the KoFs, they aren't balanced at all. KoF 96 Iori.
doesn't make it a bad game, but remember back when KoF 98 was the latest craze, and everyone had their rankings set up with 96 in the gutter - thank god KoF 2000 and 2001 were released because 96 didn't deserve to be last place.

Many props go out to Red Fox and Homer for showing me just how much fun SS3 could be...
And to Homer in particular for teaching me just how EVIL Bust Genjuro could be... Who needs infinites? Sadly, my "mad skillz" have decayed with time away from the game...
At any rate, SS3 offered some of the most enjoyable versus play the Neo has ever seen, at least at high level. Positioning and taking advantage of openings were just as important as in the other games... but a mistake could be (and often was) fatal. I'll freely admit that it sucked for arcade versus... I'm not fond of my $0.25 being gone in under minute, either. But if you have it on home cart or MVS (AES = NGF term, nyah!), give it a try... spend some real time with it. It's deeper, combo-wise, than any other game in the series.

Heh That's from the Ruronin Kenshin series. I have to admit it was a nice choice.

I'd choose Slash Genjuro for the deep jump kick into command throw combo. The command throw is a real threat to defensive or offensive players.
