Hell yea. Basara is dope as hell. Seriously, this whole game series is fucking crazy, especially the more recent ones. It really boggles me how there isn’t 30 sites focused on this game series, and instead, I cant find ONE decent one.
Is there an anthology coming out for this?
Haha, doubtful. All I know, is that a new SamSho is being worked on, and it will be 3-D. There was a teaser released awhile back for it (it’s a CG recreation of the first SamSho Intro).
Wasn’t there a collection on the works? Y’know, with SS1 to SS6 on it?
The collection is supposed to be 1-4
It says 2007, we are only half way through the year, so I wouldn’t say it’s been cancelled just yet.
A lot of chars can do stuff off backdashes. Kyoshiro gets a near-instant OH off his backdash, and Suija has his shenanigans. Yoshitora can do overhead into his air slash for a quicker, more damaging OH as well.
Backdash shenanigans-
In SST-
Iroha, Suija, Basara, Hanzo, Mizuki,Ukyo,Yoshitora,Suija,
Is SSIV the best in the series?
SSIV is probably the 5th best SS game, behind Special, 1, 2, and Tenka. It beats 3 though.
Sooooooooooooo, after playing Samurai Showdown V a while back, I fell in love with Enja. Of course, since I know jack-shit about SamSho in general, I don’t know any tactics with him. Can someone just post some basic VSP and Tenka tactics for him? T’would appreciate it.
Arstal I’ll let you take the VSP stuff.
SST Stuff- (Archived)
Man for starts you wanna get his bnb combo down…but then again its as hard as Karapalming with Yun in 3s…
So are you up to the task?
You can combo off his overhead into qcf+D chain series…but for now my first thing for you to see if you are truly up to the task of playing him in SST is seeing if you can master his chain series qcf+D, qcf+C, qcf+a? series…
If you can master that then Enja is the man for you…
Best of luck with it…
Also best grooves are SS3 and SSIV groove.
He builds meter the fastest in the game…so Charging up means unlimited super…that means no jumping…qcf+AB because he charges meter in 3 seconds with A+B.
On Special, online at least Enja is used by a few people. Main thing they do is try to rushdown using his jump AB, which is hard to counter. The three-part slash combo isn’t used much, though some use first two parts then try to sneak in a grab. Grabs are much more common in Special then Tenka- no idea why really.
Exploding pants is used to catch people. He has a horrendous matchup with Charlotte- who can Tri-Slash Enja to death very easily, and Enja can’t jump the tri-slash since his jump is so low, and Charlotte can hold and release on reaction to any forward movement. If I’m in a bad mood- I can beat Enja by throwing 100 straight Tri-Slashes.
Overhead is often comboed into standing AB for half damage in special.
One thing you have to watch for is Yunfei’s command grab, which can drain your meter, and even your RAGE EXPLOSION. (this is one of the main reasons I think Yunfei really counterchars certain chars in special- the other slow meditators and Mizuki)
That’s the special chain, right? The one where he kicks you up then you have to get the next command inputted on the exact frame? I’ve had that down for a while.
Yep…but the timing is different in SST.
Really? Ah, crap. >_<
OK, I just experienced Boss Gaoh on SST. And thanks to “SNK syndrom”, I only placed 17th on the single player high score list. Also, this seems to be the first fighting game where you must beat the game to get a name entry. Also, you score resets if you use a continue, meaning to get first place, you are force to beat it with one credit.
Anyway, is there any video tips to beat him?
Video tips to beating Hell Gaoh…nope…but I got some written tips on the first page second post of my thread.
Is SS Tenka emulator-capable?
No not yet. Atomiswave hasnt been hacked into like CPS3 yet.
Is “Special” referring to SSV: Special, or is it a seperate version?
