Wait, really? Do I understand this correctly? A PS2 US version has been released?
YEESSS!!! 
When did this happen?
ages ago and I live in England and I have had it a while
Holy snapback! Hope I can still find a few copies :xeye:
That last boss in VI wants a punch in his mouth, ESP his super
why does the Wagnerian theme come to mind when he does it
umm well in my opinion hoahmaru is shitty in ss6. Hoahmaru’s standing hard slash is way tonned down. Its slower and it doesnt take as much. In ss5 hoahmaru’s hard slash was so good poeple naturally wanted to use him. Now in ss6 i just think he is way tonned down. I would recomend picking up resetsumaru. He is the better hoahamru in ss6. With that being said
There is no offical best SPIRITS, i think ss4 and ss5 are the best by far. Then ss6 behind them. In ss4 and ss5 spirit you have the ability to rage explosion out of combo’s. Which in alot of cases saves you from losing half your life. At the end of a match ss4 and ss5 spirit have huge advantage. So if you can just play solid till the end of the match and your opponent isnt using ss4 or ss5 spirit, you have a huge advantage. In ss5 spirit your advantage is STATE OF NOTHINGNESS, in ss4 your advantage is RAGE EXPLOSION-ISSEN. ALso both these spirits have the best stuff in the game.
ss5spirit
strongest attack strength
DODGE( just as good as ss6 parry if not better cause you can roll in ss5 spirit)
rage explosion
state of nothingness
maybe some other stuff im nto mentioning
ss4spirit
combo slash(… one of the fastest inside attacks of the game, not as slow as medium slash but not as fast as Light slash)(this gives you super gauge, makes your character also take most damage in combo in most cases)
RAGE explosion
issen
Any ways im a huge fan of ss4 and ss5 spirit, I think ss6 spirit is good but its very character specific. For example most characters can be used in ss4 or ss5 spirit and still be just as good. But very few characters actully become better in ss6 spirit. My ss6 spirt character list
wanfu
garia
kusgedo
misuki
amakusa
iroha
resetsumaru
hanzo(i would use ss4 though cause he needs fast inside slash that takes massive damage)
DODGE in ss6 is really good, but only some character can actully benifit from dodging. Those character would be poeple who are Grabers and poeple with good secondary supers(green bar). Maybe afew other characters are good in ss6spirit but i didnt mention them because i think they are way stronger in ss4 or ss5 spirit.
Ill add one more thing about hoahamru, I have watched thousands of matches of ss6 and i have never seen any one use hoahmaru in torunament play… I cant even honestly tell you his best spirit. Maybe ss5, Most likley ss6. But i dont think there is any thing A class about hoahmaru or he would be getting used alot more often.
Great so my fav char and the hero of the whole series is crap
What a fuckin joke
EDIT
WTF is it with the last booss in VI, is theer a pattern to beat asd I nat to complete the game with all chars
This guy is a cunt on level one to beat him just one round only
yeah owns too hard in every other game:) his bust or slash version is always good, its just in ss6 his bust version(resetsumaru) is better.
ss1-hoahmaru
ss2-hoahmaru
ss3- hoaharu bust
ss4-hoahmaru bust
ss5-hoahmaru slash
ss5sp-hoahmaru slash
ss6- haohmaru bust(resetsumaru)
So in every game he has a high tier version, its just not always his slash version.
No I’ve seen a Japanese player use Haohmaru in tournament play in SS6, and he shows why Haohmaru is A class, I cannot remember the guys name, but I have to look it up, I will look it up after EVO and show you. he’s a very good japanese Haohmaru player he uses him in Ken Groove mainly.
Yeah maybe one guy, but what i am saying is he isnt used all that much. I havent seen every tournament ever
But yeah im interested to know his name, But i will say just cause one guy is good with him doesnt make him A tier. I have long thought rera in ss5 was S tier. Afew monthes ago a started talking to japanese players about ss5. They think rera is C tier… After monthes of discusion we have come to the conclusion that my rera is S tier. But rera as a character isnt S tier. So maybe the same thing can be said for this guys hoahmaru. But to be honest poeple really dont use hoahamru in tournament play. they would rather use resetsumaru. To say he is A tier makes me laugh. there are some manny characters that are better than hoahmaru. You said something like most the cast is A class? I dont get what that means. Do you mean the majority of the cast is A class in ss4 and ss6 spirit? how can majority of the characters be A class in any thing? That would make every character high tier. Ounce again i think im just interperating what i think you mean.
Is there a tier for SS6?
This is tier list geese is going by, i found it in srk wikkipedia. ITS VERY INACCURATE
God-Tier:
Mina, Shizumaru, Amakusa, Iroha
Top-Tier:
Kazuki, Sougetsu, Cham Cham, Gaoh, Zankuro, Haohmaru, Ukyo, Galford, Mizuki
Mid-Top Tier:
Hanzo, Yumeji, Rasetsumaru, Enja, Genan, Rera, Sieger
Mid-Tier:
Suija, Nicotine, Sankuro, Basara, Andrew, Ochamaru, Gaira
Low-Mid Tier:
Rimururu, Sugoroku, Jubei, Yunfei, Tam Tam, Kyoushiro, Charlotte
Low-Tier:
Genjuro, Yoshitora, Wan-Fu, Kusaregedo, Earthquake, Nakoruru
first of all chamcham high tier??? zankuro high tier?? this tier list sucks. S tier is semi accurate, alot of poeple say kasuki is S tier too.
Like seriously chamcham is another character who isnt used in tournament… zankuro is semi used but he still sucks. ENJA med top tier LOL ok im done with this tier list.
I want every one to know something about samurai shodown and tier list, There are no official tier list. SO most the time it goes by some one’s opinion. Inn different countrys they have different tiers. For the most part every one always agree’s on top tier.
I JUST FOUND OUT taht I can view everyones endings in the game without having to beat the last BOSS
WHY WASN’T I TOLD THIS EARLIER
Yeah I get what you are saying here. SST is hard to rank tier wise in regards to grooves and everything else because that changes everything. Also I say majority of the class is A Class meaning its a pretty well balanced game overall. Most of the A Class players can hang with the Top Tier.
Top Tier is debatable in Tenka because you gotta account for Mizuki and her infinite, what if she has that? Mizuki is better than Zankuro without a doubt. Also you are absolutely correct about different tiers in different countries. Like the discussion we had on youtube, Japan ranks Iroha as #1 over Mina and you see Iroha is a good counter matchup for Mina. A shame I won’t be able to do see that since Tokido won’t be at EVO this year…:annoy: :sad:
Cham Cham isnt used much in tournaments either I agree, the tier list in this game would be hard to rank when it comes to separating A Class from B, …but hey we could do that you and me no Mike?
-DG
well im not gona lie i feel like my opinion is bias. The thing about mizuki’s infinte is it’s super situational. You would have to have a certain amount of life in the corner vs certain characters. And the amount of life you would have is tiny.
I will really put alot of thought into it and get back to you. I think the lowest tier is pretty accurate too, i would just replace wanfu with tamtam. There is a wanfu player named doi. he has won manny tournaments with wanfu. Any ways i wanna know your honest opinion too. Not what you have been told but what you actully think. I do agree with you about iroha now btw. She is very hard to get close on. I still think kasuki is a good match for her. He could catch any of her air attacks with DP+any slash.
PS. geese is looking mean in 2k2
Yeah there is no question Regular Geese is on a class of his own in 2k2UM lol. My feelings in regards to the tiers in SST? I’ll have to get back to you on that post EVO lol. Also what’s your opinion on Nakoruru? I’ve seen the “Leet Boyz” Nakoruru and seen their matches vs. Tokido’s Mina a long time ago…but she without a doubt takes a lot of work.
Just asking, I main Zankuro in 5sp, what are some good ways for me to get damage off my friend? That and in 6 what makes Zank top tier, cause I read that in 5sp he was C tier.
He’s not top tier in SS6. I dont even think he’s A because he has some serious mismatches vs. anyone who can double jump (Iroha only), or teleport , plus the reduced damage he does in this game compared to others does not bode well for him in this game. I might put him A- to B in this game…too many bad matchups for him overall. He has bad matchups vs. like all the top tier too!
Zankuro is one of the worste characters in ss5sp, He is always in the lowest tier. But poeple say ss5sp is very balanced. He isnt high tier in ss6 thats one reason this tier list is just bad.
ZANKURO TATICS SS5sp
You wanna play a zoning game with zankuro. His best attribute is that he can cancel a standing blocked hard slash into any of his special moves. So you have this hard slash with a huge amount of range that can be done safe even on block if you cancel into the right move. For example
zankuro does far hard slash on hoahmaru, hoahmaru blocks it and goes to counter the blocked hard slash with his own hard slash. Now if zankuro cancels his blocked hard slash into DP+any slash it will counter hoahmaru’s hard slash. If zankuro just throws hard slash and sits there hoahmaru will counter with his own hard slash. So its a guessing game after the Far AB is used. This is why i dont use zankuro myself. He can only go so far in his attacks. After every special move he has he leaves himself open. So use special moves with caution.
opponents should not be able to jump when playing a good zankuro player. Any time they jump do down+ab, its maybe the best anti air slash in the game.
Zankuro’s DP+any slash can be done safley if you do it from the farthest distance. Zankuro will just run forward and wont do the up slash part of the DP+any slash. There is a infinte with zankuro that incorporates this. Its done at 2:52 the infinte is done in this combo vid [media=youtube]wXS3XZaALRc[/media]
Zankuro BNB combo
close medium slash-DP+light slash- down or up + bc( the up bc is hard but possible, you gota figure out the timming)
Forward kick- Qcf+kick(can do unarmed too)
Running kick- down bc
There is only one way to combo into zankuro’s super Foward +kick- Qcf+cd.
Jump hard slash (deep hit)- close medium slash-DP+light slash- down or up + bc( the up bc is hard but possible, you gota figure out the timming)
Poke strings
hard slash(blocked)- Qcf+any slash
forward kick- Qcf+any slash
DP+ any slash at right distance- grab or down light slash
RANDOM stuff
Running hard slash and running med suck, try not to use them.
Standing and ducking medium and light slash are great pokes.
uh i cant think of much more i might add some though
i wouldn’t mind a samsho2 rebout from snk any time soon.
