Next Fighter Purchase

AppleseedCast · Oct 7, 2003

Advice please guys... for my next HC purchase I have decided that I'm most interested in one of Samurai Spirits 3 or 4, or either of the Last Blade games. I've played a little of each on teh Romz, but time is limited and I can only play so much of each game and as yet, I'm still undecided. So, for you people that own one/any/all of these, which would you recommend I buy and why?
The only thing I can give you to go off is that my favorite Neo fighter as of yet is SS2, so I'm stuck between plumping for an improved version of the above or something completely new.

I hear that SS3 isnt quite as good as SS2 . . . Last Blade 2 is one of my favorite fighters on the neo so that would be my pick

The original Last Blade is tops in my book.

Start from the 1st, then buy the sequel.

The original is still the best but the 2nd is also a nice compliment to the series.

Out of the first four samurai shodowns and the two last blades, I would have to say that Last Blade 1 is the best game.

SS2, then LB2, and then.... well, whatever. So, I say get Last Blade!! Great great game.

I would go for either LB1 or SS4, both awesome games IMO

Get Last Blade, you won't be disappointed. Samurai Spirits III is also a nice pick up and a little easier on the wallet than LB, but you should have LB at least once before you die a happy Neo gamer.

If you're going to get a Samurai Shodown game and it's between III and IV, go with IV. If you have never played the Last Blade series, do yourself a favor and buy LB 1 or 2 and if you can only afford one, buy LB first then save up some $ and get LB 2. Trust me.

Well that seems pretty unanimous... LB1 it is then. I'll let you know what I think as soon as I get a hold of it.

My honest opinion would be to get LB1 and then 2

The most economical way to do this is to get a Phantom and the MVS carts if you just want to play them.

I see that lots of you seem rather like Last Blade 1 than LB2. What's the reason? What does LB1 got that LB2 haven't?

Nicer backgrounds, better story and less abuseable parry mechanics.

2 does have much better play/character balance, presentation, and more characters.

My advice: Get LB1 or SS3. They're cheap and mega fucking tops.
