I enjoy them all equally.
I've never played 5, is it not worth owning?
Is it the same game as 5 Special?
The shitty thing with V special is it isnt a very accessible title in the series. Both the AES and MVS cartridge cost hundreds and its the only sam sho title not in the samurai shodown anthology. The only way to play it without dropping tons of cash is to play it on an emulator or a multicart. Is the multicart emulation any good ? i heard some games like Garou can be shit on a multicart , personally ive never tried a multicart
whats the consensus on sam sho 6?
it's not emulation, the multicarts work with roms - so as long as the hardware of the multicart and the dump are good, it should play the same as a legit cart... it certainly is good enough to check SSVS out (and realize it's not the hot shit so many idiots make it out to be - but you could do that for cheaper with PC emulation).Is the multicart emulation any good ?
So much this. The system has much better to offer and you should really get a greater variety (and not just SamSho titles - I'd say get the cheapos (1&2), they're awesome and then check out other series first).After getting Sam she 1-4 there are many other great fighters besides V. Like ninja masters, garou, last blade, waku waku 7, fatal fury 3, or any real bout game. I would suggest getting all those before V.
What's this Sam Sho VI you all speak of? Is that something like Sam Sho Hyper 64?
No way is 3 the best- but I've probably haven't played it enough to really judge it. I like the first one the most (and SSIV), as the gameplay is almost as good as SS2, and it has Tam Tam. The gameplay mechanics changed from 3 onwards (not necessarily for the better), and I prefer the graphics (sprites, backgrounds) of the first two SS games. In any case, the first four games (SS, SSII, SSIII, SSIV) are way better than the last two (SSV, SSVS). It's just like the Metal Slug series, where the ones after 3 aren't as good. And nobody has played SSVS Final Edition, but that's probably about as good as the last two.I know this has been done before. But new members join all the time, and people change their minds as they keep on collecting. It is well known that Samurai Shodown 2 is considered as the greatest Samurai Shodown game ever created. But when topics about this arise, everyone seems to think 3 is the HNIC. Let's get this straightened out for the time being.
P.S. If you pick 1,4,5, or 5 Special, you must have never played 3.
