Samurai Showdown Thread

It’s referencing SSV Special.

is any of the samsho games over here in usa that I can buy? If so which system?

Dont have xboxs, wii, or ps3.

Xbox has a supposedly awful port of SSV, cant remember if it has online play or not

other than that, there was SS3 for the PSX
and technically the AES was availible stateside (which has all but tenka)

This is the last fucking time.

DG, I don’t want to hear another random rant even remotely concerning the SNK thread in here, or any other SNK thread on FGD. If they want to come then they’ll come. If they don’t they won’t. If there’s a fucking problem with posters in that thread PM a mod. It’s really fucking simple, swallow your fucking pride and get one of us. Don’t act like you’re more important than you really are. I personally don’t check that thread because I hear nothing from the posters in there. Do you want me to babysit your thread?

Don’t reply in this thread. The rest of you, leave him alone when it comes to him advertising his thread. Just let me know and that shit’ll disappear.

Now, keep this shit on topic and stop pissing me off.

The only thing I found bad about the XBox port is the load times. One good thing about it is that the story and endings are translated. The silly thing about it is the english announcer.

Oh, and if you want to play SSV Special, you’re going to have to be a bad person and emulate it, as there were only 1000 copies made for AES, and no console port has been announced.

Note: I in no way advocate the emulation of illegally acquired ROMs.

i see i dont as well. thnx for the info though. my boredom has been killing me so badly this year im picking new games to play. At first, i thought samsho was hella boring to watch but some of these vids entertain me during the slow part of my days. so hopefully pz will have an arcade hookup soon so I gan beast with me Galford-Kazuki

nigga fuuuuuck; *I am…

*Are you gonna be playing SSV Special on Kaillera tonight?

Weeeeeeeeel, since all of my emulators and ROMs were deleted when I restored my system, that would be a negative.

bump. Can anybody give me some strat links or tips on using Yoshitora/Kazuki/Ukyo in Tenka? I will be importing Tenka soon. After watching more and more matches I want to play the crap out of this game now. But I’m sure I won’t get no comp down here.:sad: It’ll probably be two dudes at best down here.

Anyone have a movelist for SST?

I can’t even understand the game

movelist = game manual (but you obviously don’t have the game manual or you wouldn’t be asking for movelists) or gamefaqs

Theres nothing in game faqs… and I dont have a game manual.

Okay my bad for gamefaqs but now that I think about it, why do you bother: the movelists are in the game, just pause the game and it’s in the menu, all of them for all the grooves no matter who you are playing.

And now don’t tell me you don’t read japanese since these are all symbols :wink:

I can’t even make out the grooves.

Well…I just love all Samurai shodown related series, specially SS5Sp…I am also working on a game for mugen on it…that there is a beta around,…If any of you here is really interested in seeing how it is going…just download it at…

Suggestions are always welcomed as well…but plz…at least give a try!

Bump for a specific question:

I was watching some SS2 stuff on YouTube and I noticed a combo video as well as a match where the ninjas (Galford/Hanzo) were able to somehow cancel their A+B slashes even on whiff and do close A+B slash from anywhere.

[media=youtube]f6ZfL7RG5qA[/media]
[media=youtube]ls795Gab0Ck[/media]

These are the two videos in question. Anybody know what’s going on?

EDIT: Just read the comments on another video and I see now that they’re using the Strike Heads/Mozu Otoshi to cancel the slashes, taking advantage of the fact that the grab has no whiff animation. That must be why they started giving these moves whiffs in later games. Too sweet.

I’m trying to get into playing SSVS a bit more. I tried it out the other day and really dug it. Does anyone know where to find some advanced strategies/combos/tiers, etc for it? At first glance, the Samsho.com forums didn’t seem up to the caliber of SRK. There doesn’t seem to be a strat thread for SamSho in the other games forum here.

did they add fatalities back into the game?
