Yeah SSII is a great great game. SS0 tries to imitate it, but SSII still comes ontop. I want to see SS on the Atomiswave, I hope SNK is more creative with 6, (which is in the works) SSV was not bad, I love Concentration mode (EASY 100% COMBOS ANYONE, YOU MOVE OR PRESS A BUTTON YOU DIE!!!) I’d have to say Yumeji is a cool as hell character. Mina is just annoying…maybe its the damn pet (LOL) I hear Yoshitora has an infinite combo on BT (backturn)-crouch B, qcf+b, repeat fast…ONLY ON BT. Tested it and it works!
edit
Last Blade blows. And Yoshitoras infinite was removed in Special, not to mention enlightenment was nerfed a bit.
edit
Maybe if Last Blade 2 hadn’t been like, broke as fuck from Speed mode combos, you’d have an argument. But 75% combos for characters like Lee or Akari, and bullshit from Shigen and Zantetsu…LB2 is a fun game, but it’s not a competitive one.
edit
Since we’re talking about various weapons fighters, who’s gone a few rounds in Ninja Masters? Ninja Masters is probably tied with SS2 as being my favorite weapons fighter. Good shit all around.
Ninja Masters is hardly worth mentioning, canned combos out the ass and some easy infinites.
In Samsho 2 you have a good mixture of situational combos and well outright murderous games with well timed fierceslashes, too bad we never got around to posting up about the blinking red bar effect to hit reels in Samsho 2 on my old site, but although Samsho 2 isn’t completely 100% combo free you generally have to be pretty toasted (almost dead)or raged to do them. Or eat a fierceslash hehe.
I’ll probably resurrect FS soon, this talk is getting me back in the mood for some samsho All samsho site this time around though, I have no interest in most other SNK games.
