Have you played Samurai Shodown today?
Have you played Samurai Shodown today?
No and I don't want to, I'm playing killer7 instead.
I want to, but 60 bucks is ridiculous
Dead game
YEAH BOIIIII
youtu.be
Sorry Woolie, your rule 63 character will have to wait
>no gen-an
Yep, won a few matches then lost against a good Yoshitora.
His multi-hits are insane.
Yes
Gotta train for evo somehow
Does anyone have any tips for Char vs Earthquake? I just played against one and I couldn't touch him. His shit he can do in the air and on the ground make it really hard to punish him.
I want Tam Tam to breed me!
Maybe 5S, since is the only one I own.
I wont pay 60 bucks for the new one though, despite liking how SS plays different from other fighters.
I hate how floaty the jumps seems and how some animations look slow(like running at 20fps or something) and when falling down
Punish that butt bounce, and careful with the tri slash he can teleport on top of you
Had some really long ranked sets. Feels like I'm getting better overall but I've been absolutely destroyed by some better players. Charlotte seems a nice fit, she can hang back, bully people or just DP like crazy if someone really doesn't learn.
Ranked is surprisingly populated
>floaty the jumps
That depends on the character, some were always a bit floaty
>how some animations look slow
I don't really get that, the game can be pretty fast pace. People said stuff like walk speed would be too slow before launch, but it feels absolutely right when you get your hands on it.
hoesntly i only do ranked thanks to player lobbies sucking
im loving how often people click rematch in ranked. 20-30 matches isn't uncommon
I do hope lobbies improve, but with the way ranked is I basically treat it as a mini lobby. I usually hate big lobbies where you have to wait anyway, though it is nice when games let you have simultaneous matches. Only things I'd like in ranked is some way to chat, at least some emotes.
Also for all the talk of bad netcode, I've had a lot of really good connections. Still needs an update but it feels like whenever a new game comes out "this is the worst netcode ever!"
>Also for all the talk of bad netcode, I've had a lot of really good connections. Still needs an update but it feels like whenever a new game comes out "this is the worst netcode ever!"
its from one shitposter in /fgg/ that doesn't even own the game
anyone up for some matches?
I saw some fights a couple days ago and it felt off. Today I saw someone playing Ukyo and had the same feeling.
Well, I will wait a couple months for a price drop
Where?
I can set up a lobby, give me your id and I'll invite you
> I won't pay 60 bucks for the new one
Yea Forums always finds excuses to duck
If you mean jumps, Ukyo and big characters like Earthquake and TamTam have always had floatier jumps than other characters.
I meant where in the world
How do I deal with Tam Tam?
Ottawa
I really get the impression that Earthquake just beats everything that Char can do and be safe on everything.
Block standing and punish the landing when he goes full retard, you might have to 66ab depending on character.
Is that hard to think people can wait and buy a game on sale months later?
>and punish the landing
He seems oddly safe on it. I guess I should just practice in training mode
Don't let him control the space. None of his air attacks are good air-to-airs and his zoning game is manageable if you have a good projectile. His reversals are very risky but they cause knockdowns so Tam Tam players often use them liberally.
>Main a cute girl in every fighting game I play
>In this game I main Erfquake
It most definitely isn't, but your punish will be character and spacing specific.
Be careful Jubei mains. They can Rage Explosion out of your DP and punish you before / when you land with basically anything.
Why are her mains so fucking whiny?
It's only 50
yuck, homo, thank god they give him pants in the reboot
who is your main? tell them why you like them so much
no because i don't have ps4, really want to play tam tam or kyoshiro
Cause her gameplan is kinda sucky. Her rushdown isn't very threatening and trying to use the teleport is such a gamble for not much pay off
I'm on PC but played about 30 matches in V Special
Nobody cares, Sudafag
Charlotte. She is a bit vanilla, but also pretty flexible. I'm not sure I will stick with her, but she can condition players pretty safely while having nice damage. I want to get the fundamentals down before I start trying to meme on opponents hard. I really want to try Kazuki when he comes out despite him being basically the opposite.
Galford because he was my main since the first game
>ltg and infiltration getting railed by randoms
Yes I am try to pick a main I am back and forth with
Charlotte
Shiki
Galford
Any pointers for a new player
Poongo and Infiltration seem to be playing it a lot. Doesn't seem like it is for the views either cause they just get okay totals.
did you see the same match with him playing wu against hanzo?
>gets shit on
>"lol this game no good"
This is a good guide
youtube.com
Also recoil/whiff cancel. So many players don't realise it is a thing. Find out which buttons your character can do it off and what are some fast options.
Throws are stupid in this game
Galford because I also have a dog called Poppy
Hanzo is the original and baddest of all generic ninjas, its bizarre to see him back in action
and the fact that he's just some salaryman jap underneath makes it even better somehow
Im exited I finally have a full night to get good finally. I've really just been playing against the hard AI but Tam Tam and Earthquake have definately caught my eye.
whats the cheapest shit
Everything about Earthquake
She can struggle in the neutral, but her rushdown is terrifying if you get it going. She has 50/50s, a command grab, two unblockables (one only unarmed) and some chunky fucking damage. I fumbled around for a while but now i'm tons of fun.
Also she makes my pee pee big.
Kyoshiro because he's so expressive and I love Kabuki.
>Tam Tam's Ultra is a grab
>Both of Earthquake's Supers are hitgrabs
This makes no sense
Tam Tam because of his Awoo yelling and also his range.
I'm probably gonna stick with Char, I love the 236k but today I realized how dangerous it really is and I should use sparingly.
he cute
Thanks man
No but I did play it on sega megadrive back when I was a kid.
I'm having trouble figuring out which 2D game is the best. I'm thinking about buying one of the Arcade Archives, or maybe Guilty Gear. Or both.
This !
reminder that exploding pants fucked his sister
I play her and curently have and 40 percent win chance in ranked.
Her playstyle revolves around pokes and punishes.
Telport is useless and unsafe so no point in doing it.
jumping command grab is good for knockdown
standing command grab with the kick button can be blocked even though its a command grab,so its garbage.
her uppercut is good
and her jumping spin slash is good for chasing people trying to back away from her pressure.
I like her and will keep playing her.
Her teleport needs to be plus frames after its use to trully give her some good rushdown tactics
Perfectly acceptable for the time
>standing command grab with the kick button can be blocked even though its a command grab,so its garbage.
It being a hit grab does seem really unfair. She has so much to make you block low, but then nothing to threatening you with overhead. At worst you eat a few generic overheads that don't hurt much.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THE FUCK TO USE TRAINNG MODE?!
Its has the option to record,but it doesnt seem to work.
I can experiment agaisnt attacks if i cant record shit
Fuckign SNK with this garbage training mode
Press right analogue stick in to record, left to play
LTG played a single game and ragequit
based devs
fuck meme fighters
SSM invincibility confuses me. It is like a micro-second
I wish Char did more damage, even her heavy slashes feel weak.
She is top tier at worst, stop complaining about your damage
There's invincibility? I've been hit out of start up so many times.
Also does anyone know how to do a "Grounded" Tsubame Gaeshi with Ukyo? I've seen it done, I just can't replicate it.
What makes her top tier exactly? I think she's pretty good and I like playing as her but I don't think she's amazing.
It exists, but it is very minor.
>"Grounded" Tsubame Gaeshi with Ukyo
backdash->tsubame while airborne from the dash
Kusaregedo WHEN
ohh okay.
Now how doe that work on a fighting stick.
Cause i play this game with my RAP4
Change the buttons in settings
Amazing normals
Invincible DP
Amazing projectile, with bayonet to poke a lot range as well
Great damage for the length of her normals
Cross-up HS that can combo twitter.com
She is pretty much a permanent top tier in the series. Conventional but with a strong version of those shoto-like tools. Her main weakness is up close, but even then her buttons aren't that bad. I haven't seen anyone suggesting she is less than amazing in this game.
Oh wow I didn't know you could use the j.c as a cross up. Also maybe it's me who sucks and isn't taking advantage of her better.
Only if he is bundled with this stage
youtube.com
Charlotte was only bad when they removed half of her moveset to give to the bust version
Combos are killing my hands in fighting games. Before I do competitive damage in other fighters I have to learn combos, then practice for consistency. It surprises me that there are not more fighters like SamSho. Where your hit confirms does the equivalent of an entire combo. I've been playing anime and marvel games where pressure and combos are key. Too bad I can't play yet because I'm on pc. I downloaded the rom for V Special though.
There's quite a lot of lesser known games out like that, there's a big scene for indie fighting games but fighting games niche so nobody plays them.
You can do pretty well in most fighters without learning the complex combos, but yeah marvel and shit like dbz pretty much require you to learn long combos if you wanna win at higher levels.
What are the game modes in V Special? There doesn't seem to be anything documented online.
got a list?
You can download the ROM online and apply it to this program. You are also able to play online as well. I think there is a matchmaking discord and active community somewhere.
After 1000 hours in those games, my hands need a serious rest. Even with a few days without playing, my hands still feel stiff, or off.
Yeah, and I'll play more too. Fuck Charlotte though.
Most easier fighters fall into the trap of lets take this system and make it simple. Which either results in worse games or gimmick stuff. SamSho works cause it is a real game built around unique concepts that make for an easy to pick up game with enough going on. It isn't ST without/easy combos but something with a very unique pace. I think that is why we don't really see anything like it, the fighters aiming for a similar space aren't built with a vision but a goal of make it easy. Like the rage meter was apparently just a fun idea they had cause one of the devs got salty about losing, it wasn't just lets focus test what makes something attractive but this mechanic would feel good.
I had a high win percentage when I was using Charlotte but ever since using Nakoruru my win percentage tanked. Still like Nakoruru the most, she has a fun playstyle and I'd rather lose with a character I like than win with a character I find boring.
Yoshitora because of his seventh sword. Tsubaki and Asagao are also fun.
>You can download the ROM online and apply it to this program. You are also able to play online as well. I think there is a matchmaking discord and active community somewhere.
People are moving into the Steam version because it runs better
I got interested with Shamsho a week ago this is good news.
>Shamsho
oops, I meant Samsho
awsome thanks
Got a link to the video/stream ?
just like his creator
Cuz I love to dominate waifufags and galfords.
it's a real gem. I hope to play it soon. Personally the high damage, guard break and disarms excite me. As a system, it all comes together. People look like they have to rethink about a lot of strategies from other games.
w-wew
Just Arcade, Versus and Training if you have a rom setup for it
How am I supposed to deal with a Yashamaru just spamming their WFT? I can't think of any way around it and dies good chip damage when they can just do it over and over for the duration of their Rage. I think I might be able to get through the normal version with Tsubaki if it's timed right but I don't know about the burst version.
Tsubaki can go through. But honestly unless you are close to death the chip isn't that bad and he can't really get anything going after it. You could issen as well
Is there a way to disarm yourself in 7?
That was what I used to like to do with Rimururu and I'll be kind of sad if I can't, even if it isn't a good idea any more
MS+HS+K. Might need down as well
I love like half the cast and started with Darli, but I think it has to be Yoshitora. I love the feeling of his normals and building towards the seventh sword gives a nice additional goal. The characters are simple enough I feel I can learn a few to a decent degree though, which is nice.
I beat Nakoruru's story mode without losing a single time at 4 in the morning
So yes I did technically play today.
Why is the PC release so far off from every other platform?
Anyone who mains Genjuro is my bro.
Nakorurus are faggots.
It's funny watching fgc cunts like AvoidingTheHaircut shit all over this game when it was announced for EVO, then playing and hyping it up now 'cause it's new and semi-hot. Twitch dollars make a man do strange-u things-u desu.
Other way around, asshole.
Tam tam
I like his crazy awooo's and moves, and mesoamerican stuff is super cool.
Aris shit talked SS only for graphics and that was before release.
Did the same but with Darli
Aris has only streamed it once, he seems to be playing it a bit though as he posted some on twitter. Doubt he will seriously get into it though
Already this game has been great at getting me to think through neutral better. I'm honestly thankful for single move spammers I ran into online for forcing me to temper my patience and timing. Man, this is the most fun I've had with a fighting game in ages.
You're missing INOSHIKACHO
I'm not even a bird main, so of course I'd get hers first right? I like Tam tam and Genjuro, but that boss managed to beat me with both of them so sadly I don't have their congratulations yet.
I'm always amazed when they do this. Of all the games that very clearly punish your very clear mistakes, manlets still never learn
Outside of dog and GAIJIN POWER what's the difference between Hanzo and Galford?
I believe Hanzo has more powerful grappling moves and invisibility shit while Galford is like more universal ninja/samurai type
Hanzo 66HS can cross up, has a running command grab, more teleports and there normals are different with different properties. Their projectiles are very different as well, Hanzo's is slower and changes in rage mode to be a big explosion on hit.
Unless you're playing air-dash fighters, Killer Instinct, KOF, or pre-SFV Capcom games, combos shouldn't be hurting your hands. You might be pressing the commands to hard.
Ukyo, because he doesn't even wanna look at you.
Kyoshiro is fucking beautiful in this game.
Newfags doesn't know, but EX Gen in SS4 was Top tier.
How good is his command grab? I was told that there weren't any real grappler type characters in SS2019 since Gaira isn't in this one yet.
It is pretty good, but if you are looking for a Gief like grappler he isn't really it.
There ain't no best. Despite it being nowhere near the fg glory days, the beauty of the state of them now is how differently they play. It almost like the old days, except esports and ranchise fanboys barely existed. Enjoy it, user!
I dunno, but that shit was really hard to pull in old SS, but if you master that shit.. especially running grab
IDGAF what anyone says, SSIV was the best.
What's the trick to beating the boss?
You should only care for SS2, SS4 and SSV special. Fucking Golden SNK era.
I like this cute bird
this. SS4 had the best atmosphere, rooster and Power/Bust versions were fun. Still my favorite SNK game along with Last Blade 2 and KoF 98.
But when is the real best character coming back?
Not really looking for a Gief like grappler specifically but just someone who has a really good decent damaging command grab. I've played hybrid grapplers in other fighting games like Sodom in SF Alpha series for instance.
From what I can tell in videos it doesn't look to be super strict but also not super lenient SF4/SFV style either.
Played a bit last night. Turns out Jubei is my man. Felt like I stole some dude's soul when playing as pic related. Just picked him apart and could see him get pissed since he burst to issen the start of the last round and got destroyed. Fun game.
>a really good decent damaging command grab.
Well he qualifies sort of then, it doesn't do crazy damage. You might want to try Darli, she has a command grab and a hit grab. Tam Tam also has a good grab
no gen-an
no buy-an
I'm too shit to play anyone but Haohmaru. How do I learn Darli or Wu?
What's the point of this when Soul Calibur exists? SC has more variety in weapons, only one samurai guy instead of 8, cooler characters, is 3D, is fast. Samurai Showdown is boring.
For Darli just use j.B or j.C a lot.
Jubei. Cool old man character. Love his fighting style. The rare times I can call someone out with a counter feels incredible.
Yoshitora's not in Soul Calibur though.
Mitsurugi is though. He has a katana, isn't that good enough?
Where the FUCK is he
>just one
HAHAHAHA
>What's the point of this when Soul Calibur exists?
They're completely different games with completely different mechanics dude. That's like ask what's the point in Street Fighter when you can play Smash.
What's the point in any fighter when you could be playing the glorious HnK basketball simulator
Not him but I want to play a fighting game not a sports game where I have to consult the stars.
I love the art in these endings
How are non-Japanese supposed to read this scribble? I can only make out the kana.
Tips for Yashamaru, having trouble dealing with jump ins
looks way better than anything SFV had to offer. these look polished
They aren't
to be fair the SFV story art is just really fucking bad. Literally any other fighting game art looks better by comparison, but yes Samsho's is really good either way
JP version got some cool prints depending on retailer with the same artist
This game looks fun but
I don't have anyone to play with
I considered buying the cool big ultimate edition with all those art prints and stuff, but I gameshare with a friend so I wanted to get it digitally so he could play too.
Genuine question, what's with the weird amount of hate I keep seeing toward the new Samsho? It's not just on this board or site either. This will be my first one and I'm new to the fighting scene so I have no idea if people just hate the series or its fans or what.
You're right. I give up.
Time for Genjuro's art
I played it and just didn't like it is all. I couldn't help but compare two weapon based fighters to each other.
>what's with the weird amount of hate I keep seeing toward the new Samsho
The vast majority seems to be positive about it, it is mostly just heavy shitposting places like Yea Forums that are going in on it hard. Outside fix your netcode it seems well received, sold out in Japan and is doing good for EVO numbers. It is weirdly vitriolic hate when you do see it though
Welcome to playing fighting games on Yea Forums outside of Street Fighter and Tekken.
That's fair. Guess it wasn't so much directed at you as it was just a general question. Hope you tried it somehow without having to spend cash. I like what I've tried so far but it sucks getting burned on games.
Sadly I only beat story with 3 characters so far due to lack of free time, so this is all I got at the moment.
Damn
what the hell happened
Prostitute stabbed Genjuro to explain why he didn't appear in first game
Im just posting the art not the full story
Genjuro's story opens with him gambling in some dice game, goes on a winning streak, and some guy stabs him in the back, so Genjuro kills said guy.
Goes on his little story mode cause he just feels like it
Saves the world, goes back to gambling
Same thing happens, goes on a win streak and he gets stabbed again, but this time it was some lady, so instead of killing her he just picks up his sword and leaves. Then get's really fucking mad about Haomaru.
He's got some messed up mommy issues so he has trouble hurting girls that look like her. Genjuro had a very rough life
> gambling, gambling, gambling
shallow character writing as usual desu
That might be a reference to 64-2 where Genjuro beats Haohmaru in their final duel but a kid stabs him in the back and he dies
>all those j.C's from Yoshi
It's nothing new, for whatever reason fighting games are a genre that a lot of people like to talk about, but very few of said "fans" like to play. Said fans are also violent gatekeepers to any new games coming out as well
/fgg/ reads like a parody of itself at this point where everyone hates Street Fighter 5, people only play SF5, and mentioning any other game has shitposters rushing to be the first to post a Steamcharts picture showing said other game having low player numbers and thus being dead so just play SF5.
>Ruixiang of all fucking characters having a ToD combo
>Genjuro combo throwing multiple hanafuda
>Three j.C's in one fucking Yoshitora corner combo on Earthquake
now das the good shit mang
Jubei. His moveset is is simple but satisfying. Landing a counter feels great everytime.

funny enough sfv has more evo entrants than people playing online, it's completely dead grassroots
EVO numbers will be weird this year. Samsho might end up being SNK's best showing ever. SFV seems like it will have some serious drops. while Tekken is doing really well.
Who's the best turtling/defensive character in this?
Jubei and Charlotte. Tam Tam and Earthquake kind of as well but they are more throwing out memes that can go wrong.
i want to headpat shiki
Charlotte!
Especially once you get the hang of recoil canceling into parries/specials and feel out how opponents react to what
Why is Nakoruru so sexy?
Short, cute and young looking
Played V Special not long ago. Waiting for the new one's PC drop.
How's she in the latest game? Barely played her other than a couple things in training mode, but her kit seems too short and stubby to deal with most of the cast.
Yes, but V Special because lolnoPC
Hanzo
He's a fucking Ninja. Do I need to explain more?
Why does Tam Tam have the best thighs
Nako is usually low tier unless she has a wolf or is outside SamSho
Still low tier, her bad damage and taking hits harder means no matter what she will be kind of bad. She isn't unusable, just not very rewarding. I'd play her, but the overlap in her inputs makes it way to easy to get 421 instead of 214 when walking back. You have to stand still for a moment which means you miss the opening.
>CVS Nako.
>Capcom gets extra butthurt and nerf the entire snk cast on CVS2.
They really need to fix the netcode cause 4 times in a row the game will freeze and I have to close the app. Now I have an orange name.
What platform? I'm burger on PS4 and played a bit last night with only a few really laggy matches. I heard of some Xbros having issues like freezing.
I’m utter shit at this game. Help me out, Bros.
KoF XIV 1.0 Nakoruru was worse. And there are people that think Ukyo will be in the next one, just imagine how utterly broken he would be.
PS4 but I played a couple of freeze-free matches and I'm back to normal.
Not the resident 3fag, but 3 had the best atmosphere, 2 and 5sp have better rosters and splitting movesets into Slash/Bust was a bad idea.
Tam Tam. Been playing him since I started playing V Special like a year ago and pretty much picked him then because he's tall and he goes clap clap brr. In this game I like him for his range, how great jC is and how it seems like things that shouldn't work at all with him, do.
What's the point of playing Soul Calibur when Bushido Blade exists?
>recoil cancels with Charlotte
I thought she can't do anything out of far pokes.
Kyoshiro, he looks cool as fuck, and I miss playing Jiraya on Narutimate Accel. Was going to play EQ because I'm a big body player, but I really didn't like his gameplay.
But I still didn't get the game because I have no cash and time. If the game is alive by then, I'll wait for Wan-fu. He looks cool too.
What's the point of playing Bushido Blade when Gladiator exists?
