@@thelaughingdragon32 it's mechanically easy and intuitive, but still has depth to it. You could theoretically win with one button, which is pretty new player friendly lol
I was watching the first set thinking "Is the game *that* claustrophobic?", and then the next set rolled in and nope. Earthquake is just really big lmao
Hi, this is Luis from Argentina. This is the game we play at home with my frinds here in a small beach town. We started last winter cause offseason is boring and it just grabbed us like no other FG did. We played some other stuff like the first GBFVS but Samsho is just different. We are grown up balding dudes with kids and limited time and FG expertise yet this game managed to win my group like none other did before and i wish I coulod share the sentiment of finally having a regular group to play a game consistently and discussing it or trying to get better at it. We probably suck, never played anyone competent and we got no way here to test our level but we enjoy it so much.
I know nothing about this game. I have never played it have never in my life heard of it till now. I was not even aware of its existance. It was fun to watch though!
The implementation of the Rollback Netcode was a much needed feature introduced to the game. Now, if only they could also bring crossplay, unifying *ALL* the player pools distributed among different platforms in a single pool... I would see a revival of this game.
I always felt that ArcSys' Baiken fitted Samurai Showdown more than she does her origins in Guilty Gear- aesthetics and her gameplay, she just always felt that she belonged in Samurai and glad ArcSys agreed to SNK including her as a special guest
@antonivi8968 I wouldn't say it fits her more than Mirror of The World just by virtue of Mirror having vocals. Mirror is literally a song about her and her journey. Her Samsho theme is great and is great for her too, don't get me wrong. Mirror is just able to convey more in an unambiguous fashion.
As an SSIV player, this game is the closest thing we've had so far to a genuine sequel to that game. It's so dope. Really, really glad the rollback is decent!
@@henryhenjum6030 sure you die in two hits potentially, but it's not like it is a game that is "too random" so you need a ft3 to decide. It is slow and deliberate, very footsies and neutral based, so I don't know if it is needed.
@@lorentsenjr I think it has more about number of interactions per set. Having ft3 allows for more meaningful interactions in a game where theres usually a low number
If ever there is a game that looks fine to do ft2 in, it is samsho. We can do it in Tekken and SF6 (tho tns has SF6 as ft3 all the way, and twt does ft3 for all matches after winners final and cpt does top 8 ft3). Being a game that can do Ft2 is a sign of elegance, and confidence in it's core gameplay. Ft3 is only for the games where you can win 2 times and we still need to play more to find out, because it could have been luck.
Are you still stuck listening to P2's theme instead of being able to choose the soundtrack you want to listen to? Major gripe with the game made no sense.
Was interested in this before I got back into fighting games (ty SF), but this is looking nice. Good representation of different characters, that's a good sign of a fun game.
6 swords, named after 6 wives named after 6 flowers. Plus the one biiig and long one named after his own...... self. Also consider this me coming here to make noise. Had to catch the VODs once I found out TNS was running SamSho! This game's amazing to both play AND watch
I don't see Haohmaru, Nakoruru say as 'guest' characters in KoF since SNK own Samurai Showdown and KoF. Baiken, owned by Cygames and their developer Arc System Works appearing in SNK's Samurai Showdown is much more a guest character or like SNK's Mai Shiranui appearing in Dead or Alive 5 and 6 by Tecmo
hopefully the scene for this game gets revived. Very unique game both to play and watch.
Totally agree!
Isn't this game new player friendly
@@thelaughingdragon32 it's mechanically easy and intuitive, but still has depth to it. You could theoretically win with one button, which is pretty new player friendly lol
Agree. And so iconic, this franchise exists since so long. It deserves better.
@@Bos_roseus this game is cool. seeing it here on TNS made me reinstall it and play. We should ask TNS to do more tournaments for Shodown.
I was watching the first set thinking "Is the game *that* claustrophobic?", and then the next set rolled in and nope. Earthquake is just really big lmao
They should honestly size him down a bit haha
Nah man, he THICC!

The game that created my interests in Fighting games... So glad that the rollback is official
Nowadays, it doesn't make sense to pay for fighting games without good rollback netcode.
100% agree.
God this game looks so sick
I hope rollback gives it enough life to justify buying cuz this seems like the kind of fighting game I've been looking for
I love how the commentators teach us stuff about the lore, characters backstory or about the game mechanics for newcomers 👍👍👍

This! THIS is why I LOVE watching Wu Ruixiang players!!!
That was really insane. This character is really a pain in the neck when played by a good player.
Let's GOOOOO
Welcome back Shodown!
glad to see a classic of the genre getting a regular spot in TNS now that rollback has dropped. i can finally drop SamSho V now lol
I always felt that ArcSys' Baiken fitted Samurai Showdown more than she does her origins in Guilty Gear- aesthetics and her gameplay, she just always felt that she belonged in Samurai and glad ArcSys agreed to SNK including her as a special guest
Even her theme in SamSho fits her more than the Strive one (you never get to hear it cause of the slow start, which they probably fixed by now).
You could say this about pretty much any samurai/ninja character tbh
Didn't arcsys come from SNK devs after SNK kind of failed?
@@antonivi8968not fixed, but with mods you can skip the theme intro

@19:05 was incredible.
OLIPOP FAN CLUB COMIN’ THROUGH 🚶🚶♀️🚶♂️
As an SSIV player, this game is the closest thing we've had so far to a genuine sequel to that game. It's so dope.
Really, really glad the rollback is decent!
More Samsho
never played samsho but that was a fun ass tournament to watch
Hope to see Samsho regularly too ^^
But, does it need ft3? Ft2 seems appropriate for this game?
@@lorentsenjr yes. yes it needs ft3. a round can end in like 2 hits depending on how things go

What a wonderful final, congrats to Maki!!
That Yoshitora was magical, however Maki and his Jubei were better.
So glad to see a SamSho TNS. Thank you!!
I’d love to see more Samurai Shodown content.
It's a beautiful looking game (better looking style than KoF, imo -- but looks legit).
That was awesome! Keep it coming!
So that makes noob scumbot a ultimate grand slam champion wow I never miss any of his matches he the iconic goat of Samsho
Are you still stuck listening to P2's theme instead of being able to choose the soundtrack you want to listen to? Major gripe with the game made no sense.
Oh shoot! A SS tourney in the year 2000+24? Let's freakin' goooo!
Was interested in this before I got back into fighting games (ty SF), but this is looking nice. Good representation of different characters, that's a good sign of a fun game.
This game is refreshing
1:44:03 Mother nature so strong the splash of the sea water at the back interrupts Baiken's WFT aura
Appreciate you all running Samsho!
Looooovveee this game so much 😀
Need more SamSho from now on! Amazing tournament
really awesome to see samsho, finally tried it after the game got rollback and it's been a blast
6 swords, named after 6 wives named after 6 flowers. Plus the one biiig and long one named after his own...... self.
Also consider this me coming here to make noise. Had to catch the VODs once I found out TNS was running SamSho! This game's amazing to both play AND watch
Is the roll back on console??
I guess just steam. Hopefully soon for consoles, but we'll probably be forgotten. 😢
If I remember correctly, it will come for last gen consoles .... I have the game on PS4 so 😭😭
@@joebud78They said they're working on rollback for other platforms, but it'll likely take awhile
TNS SAMSHO?! WOOT! Now i have two to watch in this subs ❤
How do you do this Yoshi technique from a place, dude you non-human 2:00:59 and 2:03:54 teach me please!
Samshow tournament? Nice 👍🏻
CHAMCHOOOO!!!!!
Love seeing SamSho at TNS!
spoiler damn it woulda been nice to see Baiken win BOOBA
Nice matches! The players are getting better and better.
Let’s go SamSho!
19:03 robbery
Absolutely not, olipop made a risky move , jumping in the danger zone.
And the clarity of mind to confirm was very cool
@@LOUGAonerobbery
Yeah, that was so hype.
Call the police!
😂
ive seen like 2 SamSho tournaments this year, it seems like a ver solid and fun game, how is the online on ps5? people stills active?
I would ask that in the discord to get an accurate answer
So rollback will be for all Versions or only on pc?
"The BBOY Special! Sicc Nasty, ggs" ❤ returns! 😂 th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxfG__XEgPpSoq9mMQhsXpA2CoKxR_DOMC?si=200psMvCz4UMg2jZ
Mannnn, I was rooting for Olipop! I love the way Kazuki plays, and if I ever play SamSho, Imma try him out
awwwwwww. i love this game.
Hell yeah! Wish I could've made this one but I will have to see what I can do to join for the next. Best fighting game of the past 5 years!
19:02 😮😮😮 what a combo
I forgot this game has Guilty Gear and For Honor characters in it. Strange timeline.
Is the rollback live on ps too?
Eow a Grand Final wothout Baiken. That's a miracle
Sempre muito legal acompanhar os camps de samurai shodown, o jogo é muito bom de assistir
This game is so hyoe. That losers finals was so hype. Bubba is so hype.
this is an excellent tourny and the commentary was seamless. God Bless SS
19:04 Wait WHAT
what a cool game 🥰
MAKIIIIIIII
I don't see Haohmaru, Nakoruru say as 'guest' characters in KoF since SNK own Samurai Showdown and KoF. Baiken, owned by Cygames and their developer Arc System Works appearing in SNK's Samurai Showdown is much more a guest character or like SNK's Mai Shiranui appearing in Dead or Alive 5 and 6 by Tecmo
Don't forget the samsho characters in soul calibur
Baiken is not owned by cygames lmao
Great games 🎉
Robert playing a cheap character as usual 😋
Rollback is only out on PC right?
Hell yes
is the rollback only for PC?
forgot how much I love this game
Gotta start to play this!
19:04 YOOOOOOO kuhrazy
2:14:56 Regicide
never seen this game before, kof vibes
Same company SNK
Cool 👌
Too bad the game is stone cold dead
