...because otherwise she'd have a mohawk and be riding an elephant? Yeah, we'll probably get reused spites, but I don't see how a drawing is confirmation of anything.Hmkay said:
... See, she has a different outfit in SS2, SS3, SS4 (and also in NBC). I guess that if they would redraw her sprite, she wouldn't have the same outfit... That's just my personal opinion on the matter, no need to crack lame jokes about it. ¬_¬SouthtownKid said:

I just got back from the loc-test! I'm not a huge Sam sho fan so I won't be able to go into as much depth as I should.
There was a long line to play (about 13 people) and it took a half an hour to get through. I only played once, watched for about 20 minutes and then filled out a survey and left.
The game feels a lot like Sam Sho 5. Fans of 5 will feel right at home and probably adore this game.
Ok, Graphics and Presentation-
Beautiful. The character portraits are very nice. They look like ink drawings. The life bars and super gage look fantastic (I was so worried it would end up like Kof Neo wave's bars of shittyness.) The backgrounds are 3d and done very well. The animations in the background are pretty weak, only 3-4 frames.
The character grahpics are great. Much clearer than it's MVS counterpart and the animation looks slightly improved. The 2d characters look really good on the 3d background (again, unlike kof neo wave) The characters also don't look very pixalated. Visually it's beautfiul.
I saw 5-6 stages. There was a halloween european street with a castle in the background. There were a ton of pumpkins everywhere, pretty cool.
There was a tribal level, a few japanese festival levels, and a few others. I was really impressed with the color pallette they used. Everything fits together and looks good.
Gameplay-
The buttons were layed out like this:
xxx
x x
the top 3 were weak, medium hard slash. The bottom left was called Item, and the bottom right was the movement/dash sort of button.
A big change to the game play was the option to have the dude throwing items onto the playing field or not.
The items I saw were: A bomb, a poison potion that decreases your defense, a hammer, and life stuff.
You can pick up the items and throw them at your opponent!!!
There were all sorts of button combonations and stuff, but I didn't spend enough time to figure them out.
The game system looked just like SSV. (maybe it's different, I couldn't tell)
Overall the game is awesome. I think fans of SSV are going to really enjoy the game. One bad thing though... NO BLOOD
Well, thats all I remember from the test. Sorry it's not more in-depth, sam sho isn't my favorite game.

Thanks a lot for the report...
Sounds all good, sucks for blood though.
I guess they'll add the blood later... Maybe they are testing fans to see their reaction... Or are planning to redo the blood with some AW special effects... *shrugs*

NO BLOOD??!!11 OMGWTF!!11!
Seriously though, if there was no blood in that build, then I'm pretty sure that by now everybody has filled the survey bitching about it, so I'm not really worried about that. And it's nice to hear some good things about the game for a change. I think I've been hearing mostly bad loke test impressions ever since '01 came out.
Thanks for the report.

I find it weird that no one mentioned the lack of blood before, in other reports... Maybe there were more than one version of the game presented through both location test days, or some settings changed.
Anyway, with all the bitching there's been about SS5S AES being censored (although it still had blood), I don't think Playmore would be dumb enough to completely get rid of blood now.

I posted this in the other SS Tenka thread, so apologies for the duplication. However, I went to the loc test yesterday and posted a reasonably detailed report here:

Very detailed! Awesome. One note, the D button is the movement thingy, just like SS0. If you push down with it you'll sit down etc.
Looks like you were pretty dissapointed with it. I thought it was exciting myself, kind of a new hope for SNKP. Side by side with SS0 on mvs I gotta say it looked fantastic.

great report thanks!
glad to see the selection screen is as good as it looks.
is there a presentation or was there no chance to see this?
and the graphics don't contrast badly with the backround? was this displayed on a hd monitor?
also how do the new characters look and play?
