You better record matches…
I’ll be recording matches probably next week in Tenka when me and Gualberto play against each other.
That be cool, I’ll definitely check those out.
Boy oh boy, did I check out some really interesting shit last night (not sure if any of you guys did this).
I was testing w/ many characters with the Do Spirit to see what I could do with it. I had CPU opponent Haohmaru recorded to do the Issen. Sure enough, even though I take in a good chunk of damage, the AB Slash is a good counter to the Issen.
So I did it again and again, and before I knew it, something weird happened. If I did the AB Slash just when they do the Issen, they just go through me still in Issen animation and I recover before they do. If I did any action early, I would attack in reverse. However, when the opponent is about to recover, you can land anything before they recover.
Does anyone play SS5 SP aside from Black Shroud, Anakron, and I online? It’ll be real nice if there were a few more players.
I did, however, I’ve been having some real problems with 2DF. I posted my problem over at the site, with no responce from anyone (not even damdai). Some other time in the following weeks, I’m going to redownload 2DF client and see if it is good. If it is working well, I’ll be glad to fight you in SamShoVSp.
It is such a shame there are not as many people that play the game. Even SSIV is the most played SamSho game on 2DF (which I don’t like as much as the other games, but still good). I love SSVS, the character balance is excellent, game engine is great and fluent, and just plays great overall.
Man, SNKP really need to make a Ultimate Match kind of update for SSVS. I’d buy it in a heart beat!
@ Hatred Edge
List of players that played SS5sp at 2df:
http://2dfighter.com/games/default.aspx?game=40
It listed 970 players at moment I posted
@ SSJ_Sonikku
damdai is in cryostasis I assume, I havent seen/heard him for pretty long time (I assume it has something to do with release of SF2 HD remix and SF4 ^^). But most people that set 2df with my guide http://forum.int13.ru/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=525 were successful so you can check that as well.
EDIT: Filled Samurai Shodown 2 page on http://samurai-shodown.com with info, next will come Kenkaku Yubinan pack page and SS3 page
Black Shroud:
You might be the best person to ask this: Are there any sources of frame data for any SS game, be it in print or online? Thanks.
If there is frame data somewhere, its on specialized japanese sites. You can check the SS Network section of http://samurai-shodown.com for such sites; also Features section houses hefty amount of online translators/dictionaries to read such sites.
I have full japanese SS4 guide in pdf, I watched through it right now and it seems there is no frame data in it
I did, I went by FFD. I’m not in the states right now and I won’t be able to play until after Feb next year.
hi guys,
just joined the SRK forums!
anyways, bought my copy off ebay and can’t wait till it show ups at my door. my local gaming shops here have no ETA as to when it will arrive…lame.
question: does anyone remember how to turn the characters into little ‘dolls’ in SS2?
i haven’t played it since it was out in arcades and can’t remember any longer…
Was that Sam Sho? I thought that was World Heroes.
If youre about SS2, then this guide remembers how to do it
Doll Transformation is also present in SS6 in Shin and Ma spirits
You can read comprehensive info about it in SS2 section of http://samurai-shodown.com (proceed to Storyline section and then select Samurai Spirits Haohmaru Jigokuhen from games list)
woah, awesome guide dood! thank you for that!
i only knew how to do Ukyo’s doll in the arcade back then and always got a laugh out of it when it happened poof!
Updated the site (this time SS3 article is added)

off topic but, whatever happened to SS Online?
If youre on topic of that MMORPG, apparently its still in development, and korean site of that BlueDragon company still houses a bunch of character pictures from SS6.
Compared to the SS1 and II ports the PSOne got in the 90’s (I was young and dumb enough to buy those crappy ports) this collection is damn good but it still has little graphical glitches.
Tell me about those. I’ve heard about them, but that compilation was so obscure. How’d the PS1 handle SS1 & SS2.
Very crappy. The animation is choppy and in SSII the slowdown kills that game especially when you use Earthquake or do DM specials. I keep it because I might sell it and with SSA and other ports available such I just might.
SamSho 1 was decent, way better than the 3DO port. SamSho 2 on the other hand was terrible, lots of missing frames, long loading times, muffled sound, oh well I played that version to death since I had no other choice back then.
