Samurai Shodown Anthology

What are you doing up so late

I’m going to bed

I remember playing SS5sp with you Black Shroud, and you would just fly up to the corner of the screen and rain blue shit down on my Charlotte and there wasn’t a goddamn fuckin’ thing I could do. I think its time we squared up. Now if only I remembered how to play.:lol:

5Sp finally being on GGPO is pretty rad beans.

Unfortunately I seem to be having some pretty severe technical issues getting it working properly under Linux. Oh well. Guess I’ll be trying to figure that out.

Had some fun today. Learned a bit. So happy to finally see this masterpiece (I said it) on GGPO. We need more guys playing this one. I want to see 50 or so guys in the lobby one day. I think it can happen.

what version do you need? because i’ve tried at least 2 and both didnt work

The uncensored one, but best to download all 3 roms. Failing that, Shroud’s page could help: http://spirits.kaillera.ru/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=629

fucking THIS!!!

I sound like a real jerk, but I hope it doesn’t.

The reason? lag. Its the main problem a lot of the KOF rooms are unplayable for me since the players are in there 24/7 and there’s a lot of them. It becomes even more of a problem with spectators coming and leaving (although you can close GGPO room to avoid this). GGPO is awesome, but I’ve started to dislike it more and more in place of Supercade because a) the rooms/lag, b) the glitches like the black screen and stuff c) how I have to use tricks to record my own input (which introduces even more lag).

If I could host on Supercade I probably wouldn’t even use GGPO anymore tbh.

Never had any of those problems Tech Romancer. I was in there with Shroud (and his ping was around 200 I think) and I think we had anywhere between 2-4 spectators throughout the entire time, we played for about 30 minutes to an hour, and I noticed two laggy bits where it didn’t slow down but it jumped ahead. But one of these moments happened when he was using Kusaregedo, and Kusaregedo has a really high priority grab, so it could have been that.

I’ve only noticed significant room lag with 3S when specs randomly join. Other games don’t have that problem for the most part. The black screen stuff when connecting is a bitch, and at peak KOF hours it can be a super bitch. But the general etiquette on GGPO is to challenge anyone 2-3 times, say yes to all of the challenges and close the windows that didn’t connect.

All things considered I think many would disagree with you. I mean, the game is only available on the Neo Geo MVS completely uncensored, it was never ported, and tournaments have almost always consisted of 4 or 5 dudes. This is as good as it’s ever going to get until someone at SNKP decides to release it for XBLA (which may never happen), and as it is it’s damn good.

There weren’t 100 something people in the room.

I can finally host on Supercade and GGPO now. I can help if you need it.

Pardon, I misread slightly. Even still, I’ve never had those problems with KOF.

well it’s about time they put that game in there. maybe i’ll hop on there today and see how it works.

I have mixed feelings about spectators. On one side its cool cause poeple can watch you play. On another its annoying because if there are 20 poeple in the samsho room like 10 of them are going in and out of your game. I notice some poeple would leave in between rounds and that is the respectfull way to do it.

off topic but, any news on the samurai shodown 64 games? i wonder if they got sounds to work yet on mame.

Again, I haven’t experienced many problems with specs. And you have to admit it’s superior to Supercade and waiting for an eternity to get a match going.

Shroud will laugh at this. Any advice against Suija in V SP? Suija is one tough fucker, he’s got tons of options, he can play keep away really well, and most of his specials (especially the air grab) does a lot of damage. My strategy has been to wait for him to come down from a jump and try to punish him, then push him towards the corner and try not to let him escape, while also keeping some space between him and me so he can’t fake me out or do a random jump grab, or blanka ball.

Edit: Need help with Rimururururururur (loli Subzero). I forgot how much I hated this character. She can play keep away really, really well. Her projectile can track and bite you in the ass if you jump it, and if you decide to block it this buys her ample time to run the timer out or run up and grab or do BC attack. Her ice floor (on ground) is really annoying, difficult to get by if you’re right next to her. Typically they knock down, do ice floor when right next you, and you can try to roll towards her but the floor has weird properties and sometimes it will catch you and sometimes it won’t, if you roll away it still catches and forces you to block and she can do whatever she wants. Her ice platform move when jumping is very annoying, it leaves her safe, and she can bait you and combo off of it. Not even Evil Ryu’s projectile can catch her when she does that.

These two are the toughest matches for me. My mains are: Genjuro and Zankuro. And occasionally Gaoh, Yoshitoro, and Evil Ryu.

About SS64 games: It seems there was no MAME HNG64 updates in last few months

Wrong, Suija is a god, he says it to you in both winquotes and on win screen… and since I almost never played against Suija, I have no idea how to beat him ^^

Whore. :wink:

Any advice against Loli Subzero?

Spam Soul of Nue homing projectile with Basara, will get her out of Ice Rock turtling

Basara is hard to use, I gotta’ learn him.
