Not that, I’m aware that’s a 100% combo. The one I’m referring to is a loop. Maybe it was in the original SS5 but it involves the repeatedly cancelling the bubble. I tried doing it on ss5s practice mode but only the first few hits worked. I don’t have the combo written but I think I saw it on an a-cho video.
Actually, to do the game some justice, Mina is only cheap online. In arcade, her arrows are perfectly avoidable. When one plays on 2df or supercade, there is always some lag (even minor and undetectable ones) that will make her arrows difficult to dodge.
It depends on how much buffer/predicted delay/smoothing you’re playing with. In up to about 3-4ish, it’s not bad at all and plenty reactable. Beyond that, just forget it. It’s not even the same game in normal matchups, much less something like that.
Not that this really stopped anyone from basing theoryfighter on 7+ buffer matches though. My character isn’t the best, but when I play her against someone half a planet away, she’s top tier!
I never had much trouble with Mina online, you’re given enough time to block what she does, but her low arrows can be a bitch though.
Finally got a recording method to work for supercade replays…
Here’s a couple of matches from me and BS on 0sp awhile back:

Black Shroud’s runaway tactics with Rimururu/Suija/Mina are so annoying
Suija and Sogetsu can AB over her low arrows, Zankuro can dp+Slash over them, Shizumaru can reflect them, all chars can also roll over them
Suija is untouchable because he is a god, and Rimururu & Mina are because they are underage
Shroud is the Justin Wong of Samurai Shodown. Insult or compliment? You decide!
Why the heck did he upload this? It was equally boring and annoying.
@Shroud and Justing Wong: Both of them have nothing in common. Take this statement any way you want.
Hey guys, if you want to discuss samsho, you may want to go to http://www.heavenlyspirits.net/
The entire forum is about samurai shodown.
while it was probably good in its time. it’s pretty dead now. still good site though.
That is not true. If someone go there and post, we will sure answer. I am there everyday.
Even if you go an dig up old posts, you will find that they are of extreme value. A lot of things discussed here were already discussed on HS 5 years ago. I can’t believe that people are still arguing about the Mina thing. Reading some technical posts there for 10 minutes equals to discussing things here for months.
Also… Mike, Mauve, Peter, I thought you were off the SS scene these days… can’t believe you guys are discussing SS here. Lets go back to HS.
lol @ '10ers with opinions.
I enjoyed the match, that’s why I uploaded it. The main reason was to start contributing some vids to the thread (haven’t done so since Tenka casuals at Final Round two years ago). Regardless of what you thought of it, its actually contributing to the thread, which is more than I can say for your comment.
@ Peter Pain - His Suija is actually a lot more aggressive; his Mina is just like any other Mina (that’s how you play her). I usually get angry when I fight keepaway/runaway but I was actually pretty calm that match…I screwed up at the end though. 
lol @ such a stupid comment. What has my post counter or my joining year (long time lurker btw.) to do with anything? I´m a Samsho veteran and, judging by the fact that Shroud won 16 times in a raw, you´re… not. So by your standards, my opinion is worth way more than yours. Right?
And before you ask: Yes, i beat him several times myself.
Actually it has a lot to do on SRK.
And yeah, BS is better than me but I’ve also won a few times. BTW, almost all those matches were me and him fucking around, save for the Nak, Charlotte matches (my mains), picking random select. GGs.
Why is that? Don’t get me wrong, i know that long time members are more respected and all, and that’s perfectly fine, but it doesn’t mean that they´re always right or that a ‘newbie’ is always wrong.
Also, i don’t really care if and how many times you won or lose - just wanted to show you how retarded that logic is.
You said you were a long time lurker right? You didn’t see what happened to get 09er/10er stigma? Older members are dumb too…but they get off easier when they say dumb shit.
If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t have brought it up. My point was, your first comment itself didn’t bother me - its the fact that it was pretty irrelevant and didn’t contribute anything.
This is essentially the resident SS thread on SRK and I was hoping to get some discussion and others to post their vids…you seemed to have missed that point though.
That’s exactly what i meant.
Well, if you post a vid. on a public forum, of course people will comment on it (especially on this forum). And yea, i found the fight to be pretty boring and nothing special. If you wanted just positive feedback, you should have mentioned it. Sorry, man.
Yea, seems so. But you could have started a discussion - why didn’t you just tell me why you chose those 2 matches out of your 16+?
I like negative criticism in fact. You’re reaching, now.
What you don’t seem to get is that was not critique, it wasn’t criticism. It was just…“hey, I made a comment”. But hey, maybe you’re right and I overreacted - comments are comments. I still think it was pretty pointless.
Basically after the first three or four matches, BS and I started doing random select. This was a good chance to try out the other characters I hadn’t really played/only touched upon before. But I don’t know most of the movelists for them off the top of my head so yeah, I ended up losing a lot and I was more concerned with experimenting/fucking around than really accomplishing anything.
I did get interested in picking up Mizuki and along with Mauve’s earlier post I gave Yoshi a second look. The only point of uploading others would be for the lulz factor.
