Really interesting read. I find their trying to appeal to the fans nauseating though. The bit where they where surprised Nakoruru was popular even though she wasn't sexualised may be accurate but it was quite odd. I find what they did with Charlotte's design to be unforgivable. It's a lame move.

Reviews are out today. They are mostly positive. Great fundamentals, but long loading time, clunky outdated story mode, and online issues.

I have enjoyed it so far. Visuals are nothing to write home about, on par with SFIV I guess but less cartoony. Backgrounds are dead. Not necessarily ugly, just dead as hell.

Gameplay seems like it's something I am going to enjoy spending some time with. Story mode is pretty much like any other version of SS; a list of AI opponents with a cut scene every few fights, a boss, and an ending. Nothing clunky or outdated to me, but then again I'm not into grinding some shit mode to play dress up with my fighters either.

Got up early this morning before work and fucked around with Galford in the training mode. The controls are tight and timing\hitboxes are way more strict than the past games. I need to put in some more time messing around to see all of the changes.

Basara is confirmed and I could not be happier. All of you who were crying for Sieger and Wan-fu get half of your wish. I hope this means Sogetsu will be in Season 2.

Wow, DLC is better than rumored. I know some people who have been carrying a torch for Wan-Fu for years.

I heard from some that the season pass (unintentionally?) can be bought from the psn store without buying the game.

If you are waiting on the game's price to go down, you may want to grab the season pass now (may get rectified anytime now).

Wan Fu and Basara are my favourite characters since their inception. Going to have to get this game it seems

whoa so guess they might be saving Iroha for later when they refine their graphics to make sure she looks authentic. though shame they arent adding her when the game will be at its most active.

Thank you for sharing this update. I’m still waiting on my copy to arrive so I’m glad it is possible to nab the season pass ahead of time.

"Refine the graphics"? Are you talking about a future game?

I think he means to refine her skin for the cell shading. Iroha and Shiki would bring a lot of attention to the game from the mainstream market that could otherwise ignore Charlotte and Nakoruru. Chamcham would also be a huge attraction for players. And then SNKP can create special skins to sell for holiday seasons (halloween, christmas, valentines, easter).

Back when King of Fighters XIV released, SNK released a patch that improved the graphics after launch; though, I don’t believe something like that is in the pipeline this time around:


There was a lot of criticism against kofxiv’s visuals at launch, but I haven’t really seen that echoed for this Samurai Shodown release in reviews and impressions so far.

You can negate a dash stop animation by tapping back then any direction + the attack you want

Let's say you want to dash then do the universal overhead attack:

Dash -> back -> forward MS + HS

Tricky to pull but can be useful if learned properly. Also, I mentioned this before, but you can negate your stun when your High Slash is blocked by cancelling it with a super move.
