Do anyone ever played Samsho VI? i think its a lot better then V im good at this game, i may share knowledge for some gamer who wants to ask questions:wgrin:
Doncha mean SS IV as in 4 as in NUMBER FOUR? 
I think its better than V but not V Special… The issue with IV is the infinite combos…which to a tournament you probably gotta ban…
If hes talking VI thats Tenka LOL. 
How good is Bust Sogetsu? He’s fun as hell to play.
In SSIV…hes not bad…okay has some decent mixups but I think Slash Sog is better.
Yeah, but SS VI doesn’t have “Amakusa’s Revenge” in the title. :looney:
My brother liked to use Bust Sogetsu. He has some neat tricks, including the only air-block in the game and that dreaded air throw of his. But yeah, Slash Sogetsu is better/cheaper.
SS4 is all about “Boxing” Galford.
AKA unarmed Bust Galford.
ohh sorry i mean 4 hehehe let me fix that
I have a NEO-GEO gold and the japanese AES cart version SS IV. We played the hell out of that game in Durham,NC and I would like to get it going again. Tenka is just not Samurai.
Things that need to be done for a SSIV tournament to run right…
- All Infinte bann that inclueds
a)Bust Haohmaru shoulder ram
b)Bust Galford "unarmed"
c)Basara all cast on him Infinte
d)Zankuro not playable
e)Slash Nakoruru "cape infinte"
f)Slash Rimiruru “ground ice loop”
What makes unarmed Bust Galford so beastly?
He puts an infinite on you off a back swing throw crush and then dose plasma fist in your back till dead.
Kazuki, Hanzo, and Galford also have infinites from CD cancel. Galford has a character-specific infinite vs larger characters involving the dog bite and cross-up jump C. Amakusa has an infinite while raged. Genjuro has a corner infinite.
BTW Bust Galford being top tier is an old wives tale from scrubby players. Slash Galford >>> Bust Galford. That move is good though.
Here is a tier list, kind of a weird format but w/e
----------|----[–Top–]
----------|-Hanzo[S], Haomaru**, Galford[S], Nakoruru[S]
-High----
----------|-Charlotte**, Amakusa**, Gaira[S], Sogetsu[S], Haomaru[S]
----------|----[–Mid–]
----------|----[-High–]
----------|-Basara[S], Charlotte[S], Ukyo**, Sogetsu**, Kazuki**, Amakusa[S]
----------|-Genjuro[S], Genjuro**, Hanzo**
-Medium–
----------|-Rimururu[S], Kazuki[S], Ukyo[S], Galford**, Gaira**
----------|----[–Low–]
----------|----[-High–]
----------|-Kyoshiro[S], Jubei[S], Jubei**, Shizumaru**, Basara**, Rimururu**
-Low-----
----------|-Kyoshiro**, TamTam**, TamTam[S], Nakoruru**, Shizumaru[S]
----------|----[-Bottom-]

Thats right! Im so old…
Dash B,B Dash B,B till dead. Good stuff man!:tup:
Well, in the original arcade version, Zankuro isn’t exactly playable (unless you mess with some DIP switches, but I doubt anybody does that anyway)
Theres plenty to ban then to make this a tournament…but since Collection is coming out why not discuss correct?
Lantis is right…in the arcade Zankuro is not playable…but I bet he will be in the Home Collection versions as is the trend with them in general.
I am waiting for this collection to hit stateside already or hell, give me samsho 2 for the virtual console and I’ll be happy; nothing beats #2
Well, he is playable in SS IV Special (PSX version) along with Cham Cham, but both are playable only in Vs. mode anyway.
Yeah in the PSX version I got that version…but I know when I’m running the tournies we will be using the Sam Sho Collection…I wonder if they are going to make Cham Cham selectable in that game as well…
what on earth makes slash haohmaru so good?
That dash B genjuro infinent also works midscreen
It’s good to see slash gaira up there, man does silly damage
Sorry for the late response.
Slash Haoh still has the tornado projectile and jump C, which half of what makes bust Haoh so good (the other half being godly combo damage).
Gaira is actually considered a counter to Hanzo/Galford, he just suffers some ugly matches from some lower characters I guess.
