Nicotine is decent in SST…hes weak as hell…but has some good high low Shadow Mixups and can play his Sam Sho II keepaway game…
But dont get hit…and Nicotine does have some bad matchups…
The only things in SS1 I like over 2 are some of the BGMs, Earthquake and Galford especially, and I fucking LOVE SS1 Tam Tam…jump away A+B = fun shit.
Other than that though I’ll take 2 anyday.
(Grows impatient for the PS2 collection :annoy: )
hopefully UVA didnt pull a VCU – who got rid of theirs for Primal Rage :lame:
I like Primal Rage and all but it aint no SS2 :smokin:
Mmh SS1, I actually only played it with the Ninjas and Haohmaru and have nearly zero experience. I was quite a kid at the time were the game was hot and loved SF more. I begann to see my love for playing with Ukyo and Jubei since SS2. The best game with Tenka IMHO. However, the most balanced to this day is still SSVSP. I can only think of Tekken DR with a balance like this one. A nice effort and I hope the new 3D SS will be as great as I hope (Tenka SC mix).
But we will have to see …
Yes we will have to wait for Sam Sho Slash…do you all think its gonna be more like SoulCal or like Maximum Impact?
I say the latter…Sam Sho meets Maximum Impact for SS Slash…
Is that a good or bad thing?
You tell me!!!
Will it get taken seriously?? Probably not if it does play like Max Imp.unfortunately…
:sad:
**Also Iepatus SS4 is considered broken because of the infinite comboes…that is the main reason why…and a few 100%s are super high damaging comboes possible…Its Sam Sho meets Killer Instinct…
I like SS4…but can understand why some dont.
Also in Sam Sho 1 guys S Class is IMO-
**Earthquake, Charlotte.
**
They match up pretty even.
At EVO North SNK 2007 someone taunted me in casuals saying “Hahah I got Earthquake he cant be thrown I’m gonna win!”
Bullshit…I poked the hell out of him with Charlotte he couldnt do a damn thing.
Youll see on the vids…

Samurai Shodown has a special place for me. (Should have, I own like every cabinet hah, and even started a site dedicated to it, what a waste) but still SS 1 and 2 are my favorites. I admit though they are flawed but what game isn’t? Oh and for any of my old fans…
Hi =)
ya I remember getting like a 10 game win streek with Charlotte in SS1, favrite move was her tri-slash. How is Charlotte in SSV ?
Charlotte is still good in SSV…not tops…but she is high…Shes been good in every Sam Sho EXCEPT SST…
I think Charlotte in SS5SP, a case can be made for her being top tier, due to having very few losing matchups (Only matchups where I think she’s at a disadvantage are Basara and Nakoruru- Basara can keep Charlotte from attacking ,and Charlotte can’t zone Nakoruru at all) THose two matchups are still winnable though.
Well, a slight difference always exists but nothing is unreachable in SSVSP or T5DR (mmh ok, some have real probs vs Devil Jin). Man, if I look in the past of the tough matches God 2.0 Hanzo gave me at times, even through Hanzo was considered somehow in the mid. I always only disliked Gedo through. Man he could be so annoying and just need a poke or two and a throw … Ha, good old times.:chat:
is there a samurai showdown compilation disc of 1-4 or combination therein for the ps2 import?
Yep, it’s supposed to be all 4 games on a disc, just like the two Fatal Fury Battle Archives…still no date though. :bluu:
SSVSP is as balanced as the later Guilty Gears, at least. I think it’s SNK most balanced fighter ever- though char matchups can play a big role, similar to Super Turbo. God 2.0 is a top player, so if you’re having troubles with him, that isn’t saying anything bad about you.
Thankfully, online play doesn’t change SS that much, due to the slower nature of the game.
Actually, I think the SS collection is 1,2,3,4,0, and Tenka.
Yes…it seems SNKP still wants to keep SSVSP exclusive to the NeoGeo…but that wont stop many from playing it on Kaillera/dling it of course…
Im guessing SSVP is import only
Import for NeoGeo? Nope…but the cart is rare…it aint out on console wont be on the compilation and we dont think it ever will be…
:sad:
If it has the name Samurai Showdown its American…if its Samurai Spirits its Import…
They only made 1,000 copies of it worldwide I think as well, so most people have the emulated version instead. BTW Geese there are a lot of vids out for Special on youtube, look up a songpeng on there for a link to some.
Will do. I’ve seen a lot of them but I will always look for more…
i’m getting addicted to basara badly.
Basara is Iori Like in his ways in SST for sure…hes got many things take take advantage of the backdash system ala Iori.
