Samurai Spirits aka Samurai Shodown - 2019

Give or take a very few characters being rated slightly lower or slightly higher, almost every tier list coming out seems to be saying basically the same things.

Block stun on jump ins seems to be too low. I’m fine with the hit stun, but that low block stun feels lame. I’ve been playing fighting games for a long time and I can’t think of any games that so easily allow people to press buttons after a jump in. Maybe I’m just missing something tho

Learn to cancel your landing frames with neutral jump or backdash (or even buttons).

Honestly you just sound too lazy to actually learn the game so you want it changed.

Sounds to me your not taking rolls into account when you get a knockdown. With the proper positioning you can blow up a roll. You can grab them out of it, take advantage of the auto correct to get a meaty kick, jump at the direction they are rolling to maintain pressure, etc.

Do you want to get some games online.

You can’t grab rolls, they are completely invincible. You can throw them after they recover (unlike neutral wake-up), but they are able to jump or backdash and punish.

That video has some nice ways to approach rolls. I’ll try to implement them, however it would have been nice if this samurai shodown played a bit more like samurai shodown 2 in terms of the mechanics.

Ok I’ll try that, cause right now I get interrupted by crouching lights on blocked jump ins unless I get a really deep heavy. It’s hella annoying

Somewhat related. Chris Hu being savage AF.

Chair Flipping Technique too strong.

Not the hitboxes we need, but the ones we deserve.

Just got out of my initial bracket (in losers). Kinda wish my match against Neo-G was on stream (shitty as my Ruixiang is) 1-1 last round win via timeout both of us in red health (neo-g used Haohmaru). Now I’m free til 8:00p.m.

Welp, I couldn’t carry Ruixiang any further. I’ll try to put up a vid about deflect (not character specific) later tonight.
