I know most people hate it, but I wouldn’t mind an option to turn on those guys who throw you chicken or bombs.
most recent Samurai Spirits came out in 2019 already.

I thought what made the original SamSho's special were those little things like the guys who threw the stuff onto the floor.

The return of the random hikyaku runner would be a fun option to have. I know new tournament players might hate the addition, but having the option to toggle his appearance (or the rate) would be a lot of fun.

I played a nice ukyo last night. It’s like we were sitting next to each other.
I wish KoF XII had netcode this good.
Only one hick-up over 7 or 8 matches. I got disarm special, insta-kill, and super DM (as a finish!) off without lag. We were just defending each other, and had real competitive matches.
I can’t call it-if it’s the more deliberate ‘slow’ pace, superb animation, or what...but this game *works* both local & online.

Yeah, but haven't played online.
You can still get the DLC free on Xbox last I checked yesterday.
I'd rather have the kid than that scrubbish, green turd everyone keeps crying about needing to be in the game because he's some overhyped legacy/OG character.
It's 2019. If I want to play a Samurai Shodown game that consist of the roster from the original game I got that title readily available to plop into my AES or Neo CD systems.

Found out today that the PS4 USB music player works wonderfully with Samurai Shodown for MP3s/M4As in training mode at least. That's great news to me, as I dropped the recent Dragon Quest midway because the soundtrack was torture and the game didn't support the music player at all.

Been playing since Samurai Shodown came out. I have to say I'm not totally disappointed. It's funny that the stick motions are a lot easier to pull of than the older games. I have a f300 mayflash stick. I'll definitely have to modify the f300.
Overall the graphics are amazing. I do wish they would edit Nakaruru's retro walk...

Some gameplay stuff that is not covered in the tutorial:
This was mentioned before. You get briefly stunned when your slashes are blocked. Heavier slashes = more stun duration.
You can still do parries or super moves while you are stunned though.
Roll wake up can be unsafe against grabs, because unlike static wake up, there are no grab invincibility on wake up.
Note that you can still avoid grabs after roll wake up by simply jumping. Very useful for baiting and punishing whiffed grabs.
Jump heavy slash causes stun when it hits just before landing.
There may be other triggers (crouching opponent or on counter hits?) But I'm not 100% sure.
Bursts can get you out of certain death, since you can still activate it while being thrown or while being hit by combos.

Has there been any news on the Switch release? I’m planning to grab this but I’m afraid the controls might be trash.

How about a PC release date? I would like to use a better stick...

1.0.2 went live last night. Looks like it fixed a bug that treated ending a ranked match as a disconnect. It also made backstepping the same across the board (airborne immediately after backstepping) Nice to SNK putting out patches so quickly

Online mode is still a disaster. Next to no players online, lag and disconnects en masse

Sorry to hear your experience.
I’ve had great, lag free matches.
Look for chow_yun_skinny nights after 9:30 pm EST.

Discovery just now in training... Wu-Ruixiang's midrange setups fail against Galford because Poppy in neutral state sets off the Tiger Fang traps. That's kind of a nightmare for both sides because Galford can potentially get killed by his own dog... not sure who wins in that crazy matchup.
