Late again.

When does the Sam Sho Anthology drop? Seems redundant to buy individual games at the moment with that on the horizon.

especially on pc where you can just emulate the old games and most likely have a better netcode experience with fightcadeā€¦i am not sure what some devs try to achieve with these old rehashes on pc. barely anyone is buying that stuff, not to speak stick to it.

Hopefully its gonna have the new netcode but yeah. Getting people off of FighCade isnt easy.

If you half ass it like with Street Fighter Anniversary people dont have the insentive to switch.

Samurai Shodown V Special on PS4 and Steam actually seems to perform better than FightCade (I believe @TheDoctaMario can confirm this as well).

Also, the collection isnā€™t being worked on by Code Mystics, so we donā€™t know if itā€™s gonna have rollback netcode.

Sweet! Soon it will be time to feed the toad.

P.S. I missed the part where Fridayā€™s demo is only on Japanese PSN so I am going to have to create another Sony account.

Ok chaps I did better than expected I come 2nd to a guy I think named tenrai

There was a lot of entrants 48 I managed to snag me a copy of the game which I was really stoked about

Dev I think they might have changed his super or when I tested I fucked up but itā€™s not safe in the final build I played

The event had all the characters except the boss and the dlc ones

I mainly used Charlotte with a bit of hanzo thrown in to

Itā€™s quite late here and Iā€™m still on my way home from the event but Iā€™ll say this kyoshiro mains

Ooooooooooh boy you might wanna find a bridge near by because itā€™s savage

Of course I am probably wrong but as a kyoshiro user off the bat it donā€™t look good at all

Iā€™ll leave these two things down middle is now so so so so slow

And the frog no longer combos or we couldnā€™t get it to at all unless itā€™s only supposed to be used after a throw

Goodnight guys lol

better netcode then ggpo? that would actually surprise me.
one of the issues i have with these remakes, they adjust them to 16:9 with no option to play without borders on a 4:3 screen so you get a much smaller image out of it.

:frowning: at the end of the year for ā€œusā€

Wait,

Does that mean that Neo_G is going back to Cacpom so we dont have to suffer another Woshige game?

:sob:

Gameā€™s not yet out for everyone and we already have (impractical) TODs.

Well Darliā€™s might be useable, but only a real idiot is gonna get hit by a full charge hammer.

I was referring to the demo.

This demo certainly changed my opinion about the game. Ukyo is good (QCF+Slash, d+LS for the win), Charlotte is decent (Light Slash all day), but everything else is underwhelming to say the least. The amount of weapon disarms is ridiculous and the majority of every characterā€™s movelist is very unsafe on block (even supers) more so than many previous games in the series. Worst of all Genjuro is awfully stubby and unsafe outside of a throw setup and whiff/block punish heavy slash.

It is giving me Samurai Shodown III flashbacks, so I am bowing out. Looks like Samurai Shodown V Special will remain the best game released by SNK Playmore for the near future.

I can say without hyperbole that this is easily the best netcode Iā€™ve ever played on. Even on my Vita, itā€™s solid af.

Like what the fuck were you even expecting? Nothing is truly safe in SamSho, even 5SP. Only way to not get duffed is recoil cancels, and even that takes commitment.

Evolution, but donā€™t dwell on it and enjoy the new installment.
