Notice the player blatantly going for the last special they need to unlock 7th sword?
SamSho week 1 sales in Japan are the same as SFVās was (and 20k bellow Tekken 7). And to think they sold out, so they definitely could have sold more too.

Iāll add you. SS6 is a weird game. Gets a bad rap but is actually a lot more fun than most people think. It actually seems to have a small group of folks in Japan who play it.
Cool thanks I donāt know the menus well or I woulda added you. Tokido is amazing at ss6. I think he was sbo top 4 with Mina. Ss6 is fun when you get past the goofy exterior. Itās the sf3 third of samsho. I think itās my favorite tbh. Also there is a group in China that plays called last sky.net. Donāt know if they are still around.

No worries man. Yeah Iāve seen the videos of Tokido at SBO, Mina is apparently pretty good in that game which was news to me. I like all the different grooves and itās definitely a fun game to just scrub out with to chill, but Demon Gaoh gives me fits. I wish SNK boss syndrome wasnāt a thing 
I do like some of the character changes they made. Itās an interesting game to be sure.

Ah, at last someone said it.
Sorry for the offtopic. Games nowadays are designed to play by framedata. No room to improvise, yolo, fancy styling or wathever.
MK11 is just SFV with blood. Play the character how the programmers intended, dont derail or try stuff mid match or you are dead.
SamSho (7 or 8?) feels like a throwback, you can play by FEELING and learning what is safe or not, without looking at framedata.
Genjuros yolo instant DPs one after another is the most Ken ST thing I have wished on new games, but sadly, every SF like new game, destroys shoto gameplay more and more.
Just my 2 cents.

I remember talking with someone about it on Twitter (probably experimilk or M, canāt recall who). Part of it is that Tenka is a lower damage game and Mina is much less risky to play compared to 5. Thereās less āI canāt shoot here because Iāll get duffed hard momentsā in that game.
Then again, from what I can recall, the top tiers of Tenka are kinda different from the usual suspects (except Ukyo).

Top tier is Mina,amakusa,kasuki,iroha,shizumaru. Ukyo is always good tbh. He is high tier.
Ss6 Mina got half life combos from unblockable setups in ss6. Ss6 is kinda broken but itās still fun. I really like wanfu lol

Yeah Experimilk knows a good bit about the game and played it somewhat seriously for awhile I think. Itās quite a bit different from any other SamSho game but after the first 3 games, every game seems like it was totally different.
But any game Amakusa is top tier in, sounds like a jam to me 
Can we just celebrate the fact that itās 2019, and we have a fighting game where this is possible?

Reminds me of my 15 losses in a row as Darli against Riuxiang.
Unless Iām missing something (which is totally possible) sheās totally free to characters with zoning abilities.
Sheās not free to zoning. Her hammer can reflect projectiles. Charge it long enough she gets invincibility when you let go of the button.

I tried the hammer but between ground traps and fireballs itās hard to get any mileage off it.
Wonder what rank that match vs. Galford was because he certainly didnāt give the hammer a swing.
Galford might actually be a tougher match up because of the amount of stuff he can put on with both plasma and the dog.

So uh
Ukyo, pretty cool character
I am just bad or is his weapon flip kinda ass.
I swear you canāt get it off of guard break in training but Ive done it online
Whatās going on with my blue haired boy?
Nah, itās not you. His weapon flip is absolutely terrible. Iād imagine it can be useful after a deflect or something silly like that (situations where you could also go for a SSM for twice the damage), but I havenāt found a use for it otherwise.
It does hit overhead though, so if you hit someone with guard break into WFT they were probably crouch blocking.
Ukyo wasnt blessed in the weapon flip department, probably can use it to punish a projectile or a low hitting move.
Is there a tier list for weapon flips? Genjuro must be up there if there is one.
