Glad you enjoyed it. I am working very hard to make this series the absolute goto history video for samurai shodown. Writing of ep 3 is abt 80% done. So stay tuned.
Compare to other video games history video. You have not only did your homework but it make a lot of sense to understand to follow and enjoyable to watch. Look forward to the next video 💯
@NeoGeoNow which classic to get and play pass Samurai Showdown 2?? I got the classics on the switch and see the other classics but watching this make me think which ones to buy
Another masterpiece. I love everything you’re telling me about one of my favorite fighting series. I just got Samurai Shodown for Xbox One and for the Switch and it is stealing a lot of my Street Fighter time. I can’t wait to hear your insights to this new version and all those leading up to it. Again, thank you so much for providing such great docs on Samurai Spirits.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching! Im currently writi g the script for the last episode of History of Fatal Fury while also editing episode 3.
This series has made me look at Samurai Shodown in a completely different way ; I learned so much. I'm a bigger fan now than I was in my teenage years, thank you.
Working on the script. It will take a little while for 2 reasons: 1-im travelling soon for a family vaccation. 2- Waiting to get my hyper neogeo 64 to record Samsho 64 and 64-2 footage. Hoping to have it live in 2 weeks or so.
Samsho 2 is probable the most fun of them all. It's an amazing game that stood the test of time. Samsho V even though most people find it the best... I can't seem to get into it. Samsho IV on the other hand was the one I played the most. Amazing roster and love the button setup, it's my personal favorite setup (3 slashes and 1 kick). II and IV are the best for me. Great video. Cheers.
Nice work. If you'd like some info on the RPG, drop me a line. I translated the entire game and know it more or less inside and out, including some behind the scenes stuff.
Great video series. Really enjoying it and now plan to start collecting. I would love to see you do videos ok Sengoku 1-3 series. Been playing 2 this week and it’s amazing
nice vid. I learned a lot from these videos. I'm very excited for the next one to come out. I was surprised that you didn't talk about the similarities between SS characters and those from Ninja Scroll.
It’s sad that Galford’s feelings for Nakaruru never benefits him. Cuz she never acknowledges his feelings and seems to be oblivious to it. But being a priestess of the forest, she doesn’t really have time for romance. Her duty is more important to her. Which is probably the reason why she never acknowledges Galford’s feelings.
Thank you for your kind words. I had to get creative with Mizuki and Zankuro's backstory as it was never officially presented in drawings, so i decided to use some real old Japanese scrolls and tried to match them with the characters backstory.
Great Sequence may episode 3 not be received how shamsho 3 was. Note: The ISSEN damage varies accordingly on how low the HP of the player who did the move is.
Even though the attack damage was set WAY too high, Samurai Shodown 3 remains my favorite aesthetically. The character designs and sprite work were at its absolute peak. Smooth, beautifully colored brush paintings come to life! Also the arranged soundtrack is one of my favorite SNK soundtracks that I love listening to. Basara's violin melody will still get my blood pumping and Galford and Rimiruru's themes still put a smile on my face! I miss my Samurai Spirits Collection for Sega Saturn! Such a great port!
Wow! That i did not know. I had a us ps1 and was able to get a us version of the game back in the day. Even though i was not in the us. Man region locking sucks! Glad its behind us.
@@NeoGeoNow I'm sure the Parodius Deluxe Pack and a few other games were like that too. Fortunately I'd been importing games since the PC Engine era so it wasn't a big problem for me
Samurai Shodown 2 was one of the first games I got with my Neo Geo CD Christmas day 1994. Sadly because the Neo Geo CD was import machine we couldn't play it at first as our tv had no scart socket lol. My dad did find someone who had a tv with a scart lead later on Christmas day...I don't how he manage it.
would be great if there is a brawler character who gameplan relies on getting up close with punches, kicks and grappling, wearing bracelets-type equipment to block attacks and crazy dodge moves to open up striking opportunities
I recall back it was mentioned in magazines at the time that SNK was stopping their ports of games since they felt it was taking away from sales of their home consoles. I was not happy with this, eventually bought the import Sam Sho 1 and 2 bundle for PS1, but nothing on SNES or Genesis sadly.
Say what you want about SS3 but i loved it man, yea it was busted and unbalanced, but it was still fun and i love the darker atmosphere, the art, the music, the presentation, etc. People look down on the game but it's always been one of my personal favorites.
What's the song at the beginning of the video? I just spent like 2 hours trying to find it throughout all the games and checking the arranged and remixed versions too. While I found many other slappers, I did not find that banger.
Fantastic video. I have some compilation or best-of game I guess for ps2 somewhere in my room. Must investigate soon...^^ I want to return to this world. My feelings sure never left it. I disliked Street Fighter so my beatemup memories center around SS
Also Google Translate isn’t that bad. It has gotten better over the years. In fact I compared it’s translation to other accurate translators and they are close. Google Translate has improved better. Plus I know people who speak Japanese and Spanish fluently and translate for a living. And they said Google Translate isn’t bad. It was bad when it started but gotten better as it progressed. Plus I always use more than one translator device and always ask my friends if it’s accurate and it’s 90% of the time accurate.
@@dustmasterflex1541 Not really. They are the closest to accurate translations. Compared to other translators, Google is the closest. Again take it from a fluent Spanish and Japanese speaker such as myself. It’s not perfect, but it’s far from bad.
For me Samurai Shodown 2 is still one of best fighting game ever not just from this series, after that they ruined it. I dont like at all direction they go, hope in new game really go back to basics
Ducking light kicks was almost a 100 percent combo every time in SSIII. I abused it only when necessary. Nobody really played it after they realized they couldn’t beat me plus I exploited the game engine. It was pretty but boring.
Thank you for anther great wonderful detail video excellent job but as for me I didn’t like the game no more when part 3 came out. I hate bust and slash And no history of the characters But your video was great
@@dustmasterflex1541 Galford was born in 1768 in San Francisco (actually sounds indeed very Latin) and Earthquake in 1759 in Texas. Texas in 1845, then California became part of the US in 1848, hence they were born in México.
lol the english version translation is so bad..... salsh and bust is so lame conpare to the original japanese counterparts whitch was adopted from indian mythology
the graphics scaling for 2d games always looks like shit to me. The spritework suffers alot when you zoomout and make them look like pixelated dumpsterfire
I loved your Samurai Shodown Videos... I'm 38 years old and they took me back to amazing days of the arcade games! Keep up your work!

"All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai."
You're winner, translators.
I learn something that I didn’t know in the past. Now I’m hype for the new game that’s coming on the Nintendo switch

OMG...SAMURAI SHODOWN 3 IS SOOOOOO DAMN AMAZING TO ME😃
This series has made me look at Samurai Shodown in a completely different way ; I learned so much. I'm a bigger fan now than I was in my teenage years, thank you.
SamSho 3 was so freaking complex. Loved it.
I've loved Neogeo since I was a child. I now own two cabinets and multiple cartridges. Neogeo forever
This is some phenomenal work! I have to ask though, when will episode 3 come out?
Working on the script. It will take a little while for 2 reasons: 1-im travelling soon for a family vaccation. 2- Waiting to get my hyper neogeo 64 to record Samsho 64 and 64-2 footage. Hoping to have it live in 2 weeks or so.
@@NeoGeoNow Awesome! I'm looking forward to it man. Keep up the good work!
Samurai 1 to 4 are still my favourites and play them to this day.
My only gripe is that after SS2 they remove traditional throws.
Amazing video! great job as always. :D
Thank you for the kind words!

It was 4 for me. The introduction of Issen one flash was just amazing. Although the infinity combo of 3 was insanely fun as well.
I love Samurai Shodown. These videos are superb. Great channel; subscribed. 👏
Love this series. My all time fav game when I was growing up in the 90s and you do a good job covering it. Thanks. Watching them all
Really informative series man, found out stuff I never knew. Keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words. I am hard at work on episode 3 ;)
Awesome video on this series please keep up the great work!!
Your content is awesome. As a life long snk fan, I want to know it all about it and you have all the knowledge. Congratulations.
Thanks! Apreciate your vids dude keep it up, please more vids to come!. 😎👍
Ss 4 is arguably the best of the series.
I love part 4. I love the backgrounds and the crazy atmosphere.
Samsho 4 its my favorite... but I think 2nd is more complete...
Man, this one is easy one of the most complete videos that i see for Samurai Shodown, you just got a new subcriber, keep the good work :)
Nice work. If you'd like some info on the RPG, drop me a line. I translated the entire game and know it more or less inside and out, including some behind the scenes stuff.
For what system is d rpg for
@@danielarellano7186 Neo*Geo CD, PS1, and Saturn.
For all that SS3 lacked in gameplay polish (and its bare bones story presentation compared to the other entries), its stylistic polish was insane.
Such a complete review, like never was done! Good job!
Thank you for your kind words. I am doing my best to make this the ultimate history lesson of the beloved Samurai Shodown franchise.
I love snk games so much,this was an awesome video man, thanks

Good info ! Thanks.
2 and 3 are the best part of the series. Maybe until now! Mega hyped for new Samsho
My favourites are 2 and 5 Sp. But i remeber been blown away by 3 graphics when i first saw it on the PSX.
Haohmaru, Genjuro, Nakoruru, Charlotte, Ukyo, Galford, Hanzo, Kyoshiro, Jubei, Earthquake, Wan Fu, Cham Cham, Gen An, Sieger, Nicotine, Rimururu, Shizumaru, Basara, Gaira, Kazuki, Sogetsu, Tam Tam.
somehow my all time favorite was that 'broken' samsho 3 :P
Thanks for showing SamshoIV some love
Excellen!, well done!
Great Sequence may episode 3 not be received how shamsho 3 was.

Did you know SamSho 3 couldn't be bought on the Playstation in the UK? It was exclusive to Blockbuster Video and could only be rented.

I imagine alot of people never returned it
This video series makes me want to buy a Neo Geo Console lol. Another great and very detailed video :)
I like SS3 most for it's level design and atmosphere, although the difficulty for the arcade version is quite frustrating.
Nice video! Sir can ask you what its your intro music, iTS EPIC!!!
I love your videos :)
Absolutely love the video man :D
Thank you! Episode 3 is in the editing phase.
Great Job. Keep these history of's coming
That's the plan sir!
Shame Samsho 3 is so looked down upon, I really like it and its probably my favorite one outside of the RPG lol.

Check out Enja my dude
SNK stopped porting games when they came out with the CD, which is why it wasn't ported for so long.
Nice video 👍🏼, when u will upload the other episodes, I'm very excited for Sam sho 5 special episode.
Just started editing episode 3. so it should be up hopefully within a week. the editing on this series takes a long time.
You forgot Ukyo in Samurai Shodown 3.
That feel when Charlotte is in love with Hoahmaru but he already has Oshizu....
I recall back it was mentioned in magazines at the time that SNK was stopping their ports of games since they felt it was taking away from sales of their home consoles. I was not happy with this, eventually bought the import Sam Sho 1 and 2 bundle for PS1, but nothing on SNES or Genesis sadly.

I wish I found these games sooner.
Played Samurai Shodown 1 2 3 4 5. Didn't like the art work for part 3. Loved playing part 2 and 4. Great video game documentary.
How do you play has Mizuki??
I got it for Sega Genesis as a kid so it was ported to that
Killer Instinct 2 and Killer Instinct Gold had parrying before Street Fighter III.
Yo, you didn't explain the bad fatal slash that takes almost a whole life bar after you use ABC power up on ss3 and 4.
What's the song at the beginning of the video? I just spent like 2 hours trying to find it throughout all the games and checking the arranged and remixed versions too. While I found many other slappers, I did not find that banger.
Its from the intro of the samurai shodown rpg.
O gentle traveler...Do you know da wey?
Samurai Shodown III is still my favorite. I don't care what anyone thinks.
Fantastic video. I have some compilation or best-of game I guess for ps2 somewhere in my room. Must investigate soon...^^ I want to return to this world. My feelings sure never left it. I disliked Street Fighter so my beatemup memories center around SS
Thank you! Samurai Shodown is really one of a kind!
I want Nicotine Caffeine!!!!
What is the name of the track from 0:00 to 0:27
SAMURAI SHODOWN 2 remains the best
Who likes 2d games more than 3d? Who's with me? ....nice content by the way
Samurai 4 was on Windows
Why Mizuki have like 2 voices?
if this game add more characters from the last blade 2 game, this game will be more awesome and cool
Where is episode 3? :'(
What i have in original state, all jp import =]
PS1:
samsho4
Saturn:
samsho4

samsho 1
samsho 3
