thanks to heavenly king on s-c.com for noticing the update to the site.

http://www.samurai-zero.jp/

being a complete samsho fanboy, i'm not sure what i'm going to do about this game. can't decide if playable bosses and a few engine tweaks warrant another purchase...

KOF_FANATIK · Feb 5, 2004

Is it neo still? and any news of a US story mode?

BIG BEAR · Feb 5, 2004

DAMN! That really looks good. Any word on the fatalities??

LWK · Feb 5, 2004

I think the small updates look nice, and the SPECIAL logo is like the FFS one.
Hopefully all the bosses have been thoroughly weakened and this has a better sound track and ambience.

I am still pissed that this came out so shortly after people spent a grip on SSV.

SML · Feb 5, 2004

The new ingame portraits are fucking gorgeous. The old ones were already good as it is, though.

edit: those are ingame, right? I mean the tiny ones, not the larger ones of the bosses.

Chicago Cheeseburgler Crew · Feb 5, 2004

Yea, that is some sweet art.

Lets hope they had some forgotten characters or SS64 characters to the mix.

I'll be picking this up, but when the price goes way down.

dragonwillow · Feb 5, 2004

Any idea on who drew the art?
Beautiful indeed.
The way SSV SHOULD have been... SNKP, those lazy bastards heh.

I'll be disappointed if the bosses aren't tuned down. They should, at least, include an original boss version and a competetive version of the bosses or something.

Sasuke · Feb 5, 2004

That new art truly is excellent imo. Even the remixed SS2 backround ain't bad. (though i loved the color of the sky in the old one, really stupid to change something so beautiful) Anyways, seeing as snkp was so lazy as to only bring back bosses that where already in SS3-4 form sprites and didn't feel like redoing some of the SS2 characters that would actually be worth playing with it kinda makes me skeptical on how far they went into balancing all the characters. With the new art and gameplay tweak a translated english story and fatalities would really be the deciding factor for me. (though i dought snkp would go through the trouble of making chopped in half sprites for the new characters)

tsukaesugi · Feb 5, 2004

At the bottom of the page, it says EEE‚»‚µ‚Ä (soshite), which can translate as "and then..."

Which suggests there might be something else to the update.

...and LWK is right, the Special logo looks a lot like the Fatal Fury Special one.

Kiel · Feb 5, 2004

Ha, I guess sometimes it pays to wait on things.

Iwill be getting this when it comes out, if it ever does...it better!

galfordo · Feb 5, 2004

Is it confirmed that this will be coming to AES/MVS? Maybe it's coming out only for the next gen consoles?

beelzebubble · Feb 5, 2004

that new artwork is amongst the best ive seen.. looks really good.

OmegaSaber · Feb 5, 2004

That art is good, but I prefer the original. Diff'rent strokes I guess. So far it doesn't look like enough to make me buy it though.

Tiptonium · Feb 5, 2004

The screen shots like they were snapped using emulation-ware. :eek:

I was thinking the same thing...

Funny, considering how much of that they have to battle, without "promoting" it themselves. (Yeah, they own the ROMs and everything else, so emulation for them isn't illegal, but that's not really my point)

Would it be so crazy if the dev system allows screen captures too? I dunno...

Curt · Feb 5, 2004

dang it actually does look pretty good

bishounen · Feb 5, 2004

Damn, it looks really good. Can't really complain about the addition of bosses, the more the merrier I say. It would be cool if they added Shiki, all they have to do is recolour her to match everybody else, and I guess change up her move list a bit. I can't imagine Shiki playing the same way she does in SvC in SSV.

Big Shady · Feb 5, 2004

Wow, that is freakin' schweet :buttrock:

Too bad it will most likely never see a homecart release :oh_no:

Spike Spiegel · Feb 5, 2004

Nice new bosses added, and the in game art is fuckin' incredible. Being a huge fan of SSV, I very well may get this.

The same system is in there, such as enlightenment. You can see the bars are there, which is fine with me.

I hope they don't ditch the in game art they already had. I love the select screen for V, which is one big reason I like it... yeah, stupid, I know.

But, if there's no english story mode, and they only add three bosses and a new BG or two, I don't know that I'll bite. Then again, FFS is one of my fav fighters, so maybe special can once again be just that. We'll see. I think of SSV to be the best SS yet, so how can it get better?

Will this be a next gen release? Does anyone know?

Arcadia magazine said MVS.

hupplark_39 · Feb 5, 2004

Yea and this time put Mr. SissorHand and Wan-Fu back in the dam game. they were two of the best characters. Listen Up SNKP, the fans know what they want. :cool:

Sundance · Feb 6, 2004

Fuggn A ...Wan Fu was the man...i won a match w/ Wan Fu in 3.8. I only hit Mai 3 or 4 times and bam. I was waiting for a copy of SSV to come around that was affordable..may just be worth waiting for the new ver. to come out. :lol:
