Lmao thatâs even better
niche anime fighters are DOA on that platform
My initial thoughts of Samsho:
-
Itâs decent, but thereâs no way to view ranked replays.
-
It could use some slight balancing tweaks, SNK really tried hard to balance the game for launch, and mostly succeeded.
-
It could use a playerbase jump as well. Only diehards and newbies to the series are buying this game. SNK would do this a big favor by dropping the price down $10-15. Get that fresh blood in.

Garou is pretty well balanced though except for Grant and Heinlein. Theyâre pretty ridiculous busted.
I remember when Nocturnal and I use to play Garou all the time on XBL. Heâd constantly destroy me regardless of character but it was exceptionally bad when he played either of those characters.

Boss characters donât always mean broke though. But yeah. Theyâre fucking silly. Grantâs corner semi-infinite is dumb. Lol
I miss Nocturnal. Dude was pretty much a legend around here. He was well versed in pretty much every SNK game. However Garou was clearly his strongest game. His primer for the game was fucking incredible. He was always super super willing to help people get get started and get better at the game too.
Heâd answer any and every question people had about the game. No matter how simple the question was, no matter how many times it had been previously answered, no matter how silly it was. He was always happy to answer the question with crazy detail. I remember heâd make tons of visual references like gifs or videos whenever people asked.
I also always enjoyed when DarkGeeseâs dumb ass would say something outlandish about an SNK game and Nocturnal would shut him down immediately lol.

Indeed but still sweet to rub this in the faces of those that say never going to happen
You know, it would be super cool if Nintendo ported the 3D Kid Icarus to Switch so that people with hands could play it.

Dead Cells âwell, I looked up how you get the âAcceptanceâ mutation since I figured that would be handy in going for all the cursed chestsâŚannnnd I see it requires having 3 boss cellsâŚwell so much for THAT. Thatâs not happening anytime this century for me (along with probably a good 95+% of the people that play this gameâŚand thatâs probably a generous âlowâ estimated percentage off the top of my head)
Sold out in Japan, reg numbers are high, players from other games now moving on to it. Yeah, DOA my ass.
Balance is fine. SamSho is balanced around actually allowing characters to have fun, just like some of the greatest games from the âgood old daysâ (this is Neo_G, the man behind A2, MvC2, 3S, and CvS2 after all). It doesnât fall down the rabbit hole of pre-nerfing stuff because they think it might be too strong.

Agreed, I know Sakurai apparently had some trouble working on it during development, so I wouldnât expect him to be too involved but given how much effort that game had, especially in voice work plus story it is a travesty for it to be just another early 3DS title. A dual stick control work up and some HD visuals may take time, but it would be worth it as you have all the makings of a fantastic new IP that will grab attention.

Except, I had already posted on this topic a while ago. I buy juuuust about any FG that isnât Capcom, and am fine with training combos, if nothing else. Since SamSho doesnât really have combos, there is no reason to get it, if itâs not widely played.
SoâŚyouâre not âtauntingâ me. I have literally said, as far as FGâs these days, I would rather know ridiculous combos in an unplayed game, than fucking play SFV.
I have pretty much every single FG on PS4, minus SF5 and Dead or Alive 6, BBCT. That means I have a LOT of stuff none of which are played.
And actually have the game on PS4, there MAY be people playing it. Iâm assuming otherwise. Also I paid less than 20 bucks for the game. I donât pay 60 for FGâs that arenât going to be played, (due to lack of scene, or personal interest) Iâll drop up to 40 if it comes out as budget title and looks to have a fun combo system.
Good news maybe? I remember watching my girlfriend at the time play this when it first came out. I really liked the story.
