Great read!
I for one would love a proper Samsho 2 online, like 3rdSOE but even better, pixel perfect, no dithering. Also would be great to dig more into the judgement card, you know the percentages of accuracy, defense and all that stuff.
HDRemix would be cool if the original concept art for the sprites is utilized. Redrawing the sprites on freehand would be cool too if every frame is captured, meaning more animation than HDR. As much as I love HDR, it's biggest downfall is the lack of animation, I don't mind the art style so much, what I like about HDR is how smooth it plays and how it made low tier characters relevant as they should be.
Thanks for sharing, Massi!
