I'm pretty bored, figured I'd ask a useless question...
Is it a prequel like V or is after IV?

Also, were Shiki and Haohmaru lovers or anything? I just saw Shiki's ending in SVC Chaos; I always thought Haohmaru's main squeeze was Ochizu, even though he 'dedicates his life to the sword'.

I've never played SS64 either.

It was made in 1997 so I think its after 4 but before 5, its suppose to be its own thing and I dont think it was meant to be a sequal its a great game though. I dont know about the Haohmuro question but you should play it I have it for sell and also rev 1 mobo if your interested let me know.

You miss the point; 5 came out after 4 but, surprise, takes place before 1.
Nevermind, it doesn't matter.

Found in a FAQ by Saiki that seems to be the info you want:

This is the order that the games within the Samurai Spirit plot's
universe takes place. The majority of these dates are official statements.

Samurai Spirits Zero/Samurai Shodown Zero - 1786
Samurai Spirits/Samurai Shodown - 1788(early summer)
Samurai Spirits Zankuro Musouken/Samurai Shodown 3 - 1788(early fall)
Samurai Spirits Amakusa Kourin/Samurai Spirits 4 - 1789(early winter)
Shin Samurai Spirits/Samurai Shodown 2 - 1789
Samurai Tamashi~ Samurai Spirits/Samurai Shodown64 - 1790
Samurai Tamashi 2~ Asura Zanmaden/Samurai Shodown64 2 - 1791
Sugisarishi Souku no Yaiba/Samurai Shodown Warriors Rage - 1810

The Samurai Shodown RPG and the Nakoruru game don't fit into the cannon
story.

Wow, thanks man; I had always thought V was the only prequel, looks like I was wrong.
Cool beans.

No prob, but it seems also I didn't realize you had other questions in your first post...that being the case I figured I might as well point you to Saiki's FAQ itself:

link

Just click on the one called "Story FAQ"...I've found it to be full of info and just about as comprehensive for Samurai Spirits/Shodown as Tiamat's FAQ is for Street Fighter

Those two are really just about the only good story FAQs that have ever been created for any 2D fighting games. There's also a Darkstalkers one I seem to remember is not too bad. But pretty much everything else is complete crap.
