Samurai Shodown Question(s)

[Halox]

I actually went with 4 this time. I am a big SSIII homer, but after spending a little more time with IV, I am really starting to grow attached to it.

It appears 2 is winning by a fair margin. It got my vote as well.

I voted for 2, but I actually prefer 4 for competitive play. The CD combo thing is garbage, but I always PWN the scrubs that come at me with that garbage anyway, so it's no big deal.

yeah, that was the grip I had with IV too. SNK was pandering to the Mortal Kombat, SFII masses with that CD combo shyte. Which one of those games still have such a hardcore following? Button mashing monkeys...

I loved Samurai Spirits (Shodown) 2 the best!! That game was simply awesome and its my #1 all-time favorite videogame ever!! I also love the Samurai Spirits 1. Samurai Spirits 4 was ok. I agree Samurai Spirits 3 wasn't as good as the others.

My favorite characters are the Ainu Goddesses Nakoruru and Rimururu, the beautiful gal Charlotte, then Cham Cham, the mysterious Tachibana Ukyo, and of course Haohmaru and Galford. Everyone is ok too!!

My unconcious made me push part 2

I play part 3 the most though.

Button mashing in SF2? hah
Button mashing in MK series .. maybe but you won't get many moves off like that.

uh, I think SF2 still has a hardcore following.

SS2 had 1 thing that ss3 lacked...Kuroko.

Still gonna go with ss3 though...I've tried it on level 8 and I think its actually easier than the 1 difficulty setting.
Really stylized too.

Samurai Showdown 2 ,

I have played it with my friends and at arcades more then any other game , I still want more ,

I consider 3 & 4 different games then 1 & 2 , theres a different vibe to them .

1 & 2 vs 3 & 4 are like night and day. It all boils down to the pacing. More mixups are apparent in 3+4 and running into random high/mid/low/throw is much, much more common and a viable way of attack. Also there's much less "stunning" moves in the previous 2 installments.

As it's been said before
1 & 2 focuses more on standard moves, poking, and throwing.


3 & 4 focuses more on well placed specials, and running high/low/medium/throw mixups.

Simply put you do a lot more running around in 3 & 4, and do more pace setting in 1 & 2. Running like a maniac in 1 & 2 on a rising opponent will just get you killed :P

I do believe that more standard move will link to each other in SSII (althought it's not easy I'll post up the vid on my website if you want it)

Havent played 3 and 5.
SS 4 feels a bit slow, maybe they tried to incorporate to much realism in that one.
I say Samurai Shodown 2 is the badest mother of them all!
