Or back dashed or went into the invincible doll move.
People saying ss2 has shit controls must think St has shit controls as well.
SS definitely had a unique fanbase, not tied to SF. World Heroes games as well, since they added time warp and history elements
Fatal Fury, KOF94 and Art of Fighting on the other hand do appeal to the SF cast offs, though they have not many similarities in game mechanics
Then how do you explain people like Akuma pic guy(they come a dime a dozen) always comparing the games to SF? There were more people in those days that played SF/SS than just SS, and their mindset continues to poison the generations after it. They’re the vocal majority with band wagoners in tow.
But if you want to expose them, just ask them for a list of things that make SS2 the best game…it’ll be hilarious.
All the rest of us wanted to do was like our respective games, they won’t allow you to without trying to put themselves over you.
You really don’t know wtf you’re talking about, shitshio. Are you even old enough to know what people were doing back in those times? To me you just sound like a retard trying to shove opinions in people’s shoe’s. Talking about generations, don’t know which one you’re from but I know it’s fucking retarded. You must be one of those ultra 64 shits.
Still can’t stay on topic…
When I think SS2, these are the types of people that come to mind. Someone who joined SRK 4 years ago, with a Akuma profile pic. He probably got his money stolen at the game room a while back, and never forgot about it.
Now, this guy is probably TERRIBLE at SS2, and games in general. He just thinks that he should say dumb shit on SRK so he can look like he fits in. He’s also that guy you see at Evo, QUIET as fuck, didn’t enter anything, and is super nice offline.
It’s ok, son. We understand.
But on the real, SS2 is about as good as it’s controls.
I am really trying to figure out exactly what shishioh is trying to figure out. What in the hell is so great about SS2 that makes a game as great as SS6 not so great anymore?
I am not a fan of 5sp but I can see why people liked it, it is mad different and really fun. But why people do not even try SS6 is just beyond me… I think most people are just 06 or 09ers and just never really played any SS games.
I do not know how people do not really give SS6 a chance. It has 6 sub systems…I mean combos, parry, hard counters… That meditate shit… This game is really really good…
The jump system in SS6 is kinda weird, where most good jump pressure comes from an awkward up-back into down-forward wall jump… That could also be why people do not like it because there really is very little jump ins that lead to straight combos…
Do not worry shishioh, I have been thinking the exact same thing about SS2 and the people who praise it since it came out on Xboxlive. That game sucks donkey dick and I love cham cham…
Just keep playing anthologies on wii or SS6 on PS3 (Japan Psn thank you much!!!)
Oh yeah and Sam Sho 64 was my second favorite… I played that game for like 6 months straight in Laguna Hills mall…
Sam Sho 2 for NeoGeo Pocket Color was very similar to 64 with the combo system… The card system in the neogeo pocket version was also a cool add…
I would have to say that 6 then 64 then 2 on Neogeo Pocket are my favs, but 6 and 2 on neogeo pocket are games people should play forever!!!
Shishio so fucking bitter.
Because?
6’s system just makes the most sense out of the games. It’s everything people wanted to like about CVS2 without sacrificing anything that made Samural Shodown unique.
It does everything 2 does gameplay wise, but better, and it threw in the rest of the series’ system’s for good measure. No character just beats another due to match up shit because of the perks of the different spirits, so all that bitching about Ukyo(such as in 2) goes out of the window.
SS2 players have been jaded for a long time, SNKPlaymore tried to appease them with 5sp, but they hated that too. I’m just glad we got updates to the series beyond 2 because we would have never gotten 64-2 and Tenka.
So fuck them, we got better games in the long run.
Ss2 has no shit characters, 5sp and 6 is filled with shit characters.
Ss2 has no faggass gamesystem mechanics that 5sp and 6 has.
Ss2 has no fagghats playing the game, 5sp and 6 “fan” base is filled with fagghats.
If you don’t like ss2 and want to play a better weapons fighter on the neo there’s the last blade series.
Huh, so that’s what that feels like.
Anyway, here’s a channel on YT with a shitload of Tenka matches. Some of them show the dynamic ways you can deal with top tiers, such as picking the III spirit to deal with Amakusa’s crossup shenanigans. The channel page itself isn’t showing up, but this vid will lead you to it.
So is the Wii anthology worth picking up instead of just getting II/IV off virtual console? The anthology would be a no-brainer for me except the sprite filter/blur is making me apprehensive, and I can’t find any good comparison pics online.
the anthology is worth it due to having training mode, key configuration, color edit mode and so on though I do think teh virtual console is arcade perfect.
I believe the sprite filter only affects SSVI (way to blow it Playmore SNK). The rest of the titles are arcade perfect, plus training modes. EDIT: No SSV Special either. 
The “no 5sp outside of Neo Geo” shit always bothered me. It’s like they didn’t want many people to play the game by design. Really Sega-ish lol
I did not know we are ok to post vids… I have been subed to him for over 3 years!!! I love his vids and youtube has gotten better over the years so it is eaiser to search for cast members.
I main rimururu and rera!!! I wounder if people still play this since the PS3 release???
the next installment should draw not only mechanics and elements from 4 and 5sp but 1&2 back in the series heyday. throws should come back but i adjusted to break defense (most of the charactes are holding weapons after all) those instant finishers can go since the game relies on random fatalities, give haohmaru back his damn light swipe and rice wine attack back and bring asura and shiki in like they were in battle coliseum.
I read that one problem Tenka had was that expect some balance issues, inferior music and stages and removal of fatalities, final slashes and blood, it was easy to keep the opponent away from their weapons, thus making the encounter one sided. He said that best games were SS2 and 5, for which I agree as well.
I mean…Amakusa(the main offender) can keep you away from your weapon in every game he was playable in. That was a main part of his game plan. Also, it helps to learn characters who have good mobility and learn to outsmart him in the matchup. The more you play a matchup, the more you can formulate a strategy against something. This isn’t Morrigan or Vanilla Phoenix, bruh.
Balance issues are going to be present in games with large rosters, but Tenka mitigated that with multiple sub systems for each spirit. The infinites can be banned without a slippery slope because they only extend to a very small number of the cast that were already good, such as Mizuki.
I’m still trying to figure out why everyone thinks 2 is the best, but they never have legit reasons. It’s hard to take people seriously if they hate something because it’s not the same as something that came out in 1994. Like I’ve stated in the past, Tenka does everything 2(and it’s younger brother 5sp) do better from a game play standpoint. Everything else(such as blood, and all that other attention getting shit) is simply nitpicking.
Also, you don’t like 5. Nobody likes 5. You like 5sp.
And lets stop “reading” things about games instead of playing them. If I would have just read about SNK games from fans of other game companies, I would have NEVER played these games. Go read some of the Gamefaqs archives in the FG forum sometime if you want to know what I mean. Gamepro was notorious for talking shit about SNK, while Tips and Tricks didn’t even acknowledge their existence. This is why I always tell SNK fans who actively shit on other SNK fans to stop being stupid. It only makes you look foolish when you argue with someone who’s essentially on the same side as you.
