Okay, I live near a paper mill and trust me when I say that "Stinks worse than a Paper Mill in August" joke...isn't a laughing matter. IT STINKS WORSE THAN A SULFUR FIELD.
Ah, the summer days when my family passed though the famous "Tacoma Aroma" every summer on the way to the coast in Washington state. I don't remember how close that particular paper mill was to the Tacoma Dome, but I do remember the smell being unbearable...and that was just passing through the the freeway.
"We don't call him Arukard do we?" Fun fact, I came across a Helsing fan-sub where, honest to god, when Integra first said Alucard's name, it named him Arkard, in huge, bold letters and THEN had a long screed about how his name was not, in fact, Alucard, because that's not how the name was being pronounced, and how everyone who called him Alucard needed to go slash their wrists. In nearly every subsequent episode, it would then argue with people who commented on the previous episode about how wrong it was. Funniest shit I ever saw.
This show was the first anime I had ever seen as a kid. Had the white vhs tape. I watched it over and over because it had swords and fighting in it. And damn if it aint a treat to see it again and see just how bad it actually was. Though I'll always still appreciate it because it helped me get into sword collecting later in life. Hats off to you samurai showdown.
I remember this being the first anime fighting game adaptation that made me sad. Shirou Amakusa deserves better. Like, both the real one and the one from the games. And I don't know, but Charlotte's actress still seems like a step up. Galford's was like...Shining Force 3 dub quality. "You wouldn't call him Arucard, would you?" Oh God, I just had flashbacks to stubborn fansub-purist Hellsing fans. They really would. (oof at the double example from Sailor Moon, and then remembering that whole "Save Our Sailors" mess)
@Kosta Fan group that pushed for Sailor Moon to succeed in the west but tainted by association with the "Prince Uranus" controversy. It's ancient fandom drama but there are several write-ups floating around.
Regarding Shirou Amakusa, I've seen him crop up multiple times in anime, but always as a villain (sometimes a tragic villain, but I've also seen him depicted as an absolute monster too, but always an antagonist), even though I've heard him described as a benevolent figure in real life, that he's considered a folk saint by many Japanese Catholics, and there's even a statue & memorial hall dedicated to him in Japan...So whats the deal with that? Not trying to make a scene over it or anything, just curious as to why it seems to be so popular to use him as a bad guy in anime when he doesn't seem to be thought of as such in reality.
@@KaijuCommander Probably because to mainstream Japan anything that deviates from the norm and opposes their drone mentality is either exotic or evil. Christianity is also something weird and barely understood by many in there.
8:21 Well, the villain is voiced by Marcy Rae. Same English dub for Fraulein D from Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. Also the English dub for Radinov in Gunsmith Cats.
-Me when Sage revealed Tekken: "Tekken? Okay. Could be interesting". -Me when Sage revealed Psychic Force: "PSYCHIC FORCE?!?!?! By the way, what's Psychic Force"?
It was a very interesting fighter, kind of had this flying mechanic that made the fights feel a lot more 3rd dimensional (although you where still bound to just left/right/up/down). It's fun to mess around with
Sacre bleu! Tiffany Grants's French accent just sucks the cheese out of the brie cheese. I think she needs to stick to playing a German character that ride on a giant mech and has mommy issues. But please dear God, Don't make Ms. Grant play a French character.
She probably just shouldn't fake an accent. Her German was awful. I took three years of German in high school and I have a more convincing German accent.
I love that franchise. I remember when I first started Samurai Spirits (I think) for Dreamcast, I saw that gigantic cast of 80 or so characters placed on several pages (!) on the character selection screen.
The thing with Shiro, I thought it was a Lady Miyako from Akira situation where they thought the character was the opposite gender because of how they looked. 🤷🏾♀️
It was common issue in translation as Japanese language don't have gender annotations and stuff back then usually lack proper design materials, so translators commonly guessed only what is going one there.
I remember playing this game on the game boy, and thought how cool it was that the swords for you and your opponent can fly off in different directions in a standoff, and you can either race to your sword or beat the shit out of each other
Soooo.....i did some research for the voice actors and yeah from the looks of it, most were people never voice acted or ever again. there are 2 voice actors of note that are still voice acting as far as i know, Tiffany Grant as Charlotte, and Rob Mungle as Hanzo.
Sage getting 'excited' about Tiffany Grant always restores my faith that some Americans can do sarcasm properly instead of the kind of shit made so popular by Chandler in Friends.
Since the games take place in the 1780's how is it that the non Japanese characters can just walk around the country without being executed. Because you know Edo period.
Heh... that whole diatribe on trying to figure out what in the hell year this anime's set in reminds me of the first episode of Samurai Jack, and the thoroughly pointless amount of effort I put into figuring out just how far apart in time the people he trained with were. Even has a similar problem, with most people being "only" a few centuries apart from each other!
One of the first anime shows or films I ever saw, about twenty years ago as a teen. Just the sheer novelty at the time was enough to make me like it. Now I see why I shouldn't have.
Actually, if they're some of those crazy-big bees or wasps that Japan is supposed to have (just look up the pictures, a single one is larger than the palm of a grown-ass man!😨), it's possible that they could be stung through the sandals, since those hell-insects look like they could pierce through anything short of steel plating!
Man, this was the first fighting game other than Mortal Kombat I remember that had real fatalities. Seriously, you could finish your opponents by cutting them in half, or slash them til' blood spurted out. Good times back then it was.
Imagine my disappointment when he didn't show a clip of Ukyo walking around at the end of his review, the same way the movie forgot he existed until the credits.
When I was 6 or 7, my dad let me pick out a handful of OVA's at Suncoast. And it was Fatal Fury 2, Catgirl Nuku Nuku, Samurai Shodown, the first Devil Man, and Plastic Little. I remember Samurai Shodown kicking so much ass as a kid and I was pretty hyped for it because I played the arcade cabinet at my dad's college. But it didn't really leave much of an incredible impression on me. Not when you compared it to the other movies I picked up. Plastic Little, especially. My dad laughed at me when he caught the bath scene.
YEAH PSYCHIC FORCE!!!!!! Right as I was thinking (man I wish he did psychic force) God he got me with that good. Also if Bennett ever ever reads the comments: Psychic force was quite possibly THE first anime DVD I bought because I loved the ps1 fighter.
The voice actor voicing the villain in this.... has been in a lot of anime... hasn't anyone noticed.... They were in Frauline Yuna, and several other reviews... surprised Sage hasn't made the connection or perhaps it's his brain's way of keeping his sanity lol?
i saw this game for like 30 seconds on an arcade emulator, i've been trying to track down what is is since i saw that noh theater actor being beaten up by a ninja, THANK YOU!
I always wanted a Samurai Showdown 3 port. the one where blood and decapitations were possible. the games just weren't the same after I played that one. it just made the game feel for impactful to me. I mean they are fighting with weapons not chopsticks. also Bennett I dig your hat.
It is interesting that still probably the best fighting game adaptation is the Fatal Fury Double Impact collection. Street Fighter 2 V is second in my opinion, and it's a good adaptation that even though they didn't follow a tournament plot, it has plenty of good fight scenes, better story than most of the other adaptations about it, and it has it's own story.
@@danielramsey6141 I will admit that is true. Although I do believe it has the best true adaptation of Bison, Raul Julia's is still the best over the top, but the Bison in V with the way they do his music and the first time you see him in the mansion with his psycho power overflowing still sends chills.

Why is vash the stampede in this show? Ok I get that that isn't him and anime characters can have very similar designs but that's basically the exact same design with different clothes.
For the longest time I thought Samurai Spirits (SNK) is the predecessor of Guilty Gear (arc system works). Guess it's just a coincidence when they replaced the machine in our arcade. They had just very similar weird characters and fight presentation.
Where's Ukyo? Is he just not in it or did I miss him? Also, Fun Fact: Haohmaru and Ukyo are loosely based on real life rivals Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro respectively. And they lived in the late 1500s-early 1600s. Yeah, timeline consistency isn't SS's strong point.
Aaaaaah the Hinterlands bears. I remember being stuck fight them and they just kept spawning so I figured I'd try to run away but the the mambaris kept spawning with bears. So I try escaping other direction then 3 Mercenaries kept spawning like the mamabri and bears and I was freaking out because I no more potions left over. And then I looked behind me and saw that campsite compass thingy. I activated it hoping that it would fix the glitch but it didn't. BUT I did get something out of it. My team and I fought hard right outside of camp, and it was the right distance so that I could run but my team wouldn't follow yet. And so, whenever we ran out of potions I just left the team for a bit to pick up some and make more potion. HOLY SHIT did we freaking level....well...we leveled up by 2 levels but still when you're at lvl 11. That can come in handy. Plus, I get to say I fought a glitch and won.

HOLY SHIT did we freaking level....well...we leveled up by 2 levels but still when you're at lvl 11. That can come in handy. Plus, I get to say I fought a glitch and won.

Damn you Sage...the Bear gag made me shoot soda out my nose, and onto my keyboard.
I saw it twenty five or so years ago in Mexico at a con. It was in English with Spanish subtitles.
Damn you sage for teasing us with Tekken. How very Namco of you.
