Pretty sure part of Shizumaru's story is that the large sword he carries is possessed by some bloodthirsty entity that takes control of his body on occasion. I think he has a fatality in one of the old games where he literally breaks down in tears after realizing what he did.
I have 3 ideas that could have made it better: 1. More catapults that hurl multiple flaming boulders at once. 2. Also have ballista's that shoot arrows and bolts alongside the catapults. (Reference to the executions where the opponent can die to arrows, bolts or boulders). 3. Warden smacks his opponent with the hilt of his sword a few times (reference to executions), then comes the catapult.
Iroha's super is based on that one legend about the dude that married a crane She plucked her feathers everynight so he could make clothes and earn a living, but she told him to never look inside the room when shes there, one night he got curious and took a peek. He discovered she was a crane birbo and in shame she flew away to never return. -i think its something like that, i probably got some things wrong there tho...-
The story as far as I know was that a fisherman (I think) saved a Crane and in return, the Crane transformed herself into a pretty lady for the fisherman
@@mirzapramudya1580 The one I heard was that a hunter was checking his traps and finds a crane caught by one of them. He was not hunting cranes so he lets it go free. When winter came, the hunter was checking his traps again and the crane appears before him. It tells him she will make him a coat from her feathers for freeing her, but asks him not to peek through the screen door (idk where it comes from, maybe they go to his house). He complies, and after the crane has made the coat, she opens the door and emerges as a beautiful maiden.

God this game is such a sleeper hit. Great gameplay, nice artstyle, and some of the best supers in the business. Truly makes me upset with myself for never having played SamSho before this.
Ninja Masters is CRIMINALLY underrated and overlooked. That game is excellent, SamSho/Last Blade style aesthetic with a sort of Killer Instinct-ish combo system.
Love that game, glad it's at least available on major platforms now via ACA even if there's no easy way to play online. I'm not 100% SNK actually own the IP rights to it though, despite it being on Neo Geo
If only everyone who watched this video, and enjoyed this game would hop online so we could get some games going… I know… I know… No rollback makes life hard T.T
That Basura super where he takes you under the ground immediately reminded me of how Freddy Krueger kills Johnny Depp’s character in the original Nightmare on Elm Street
So for Wardens Supers, his first one is a refference to his execution called Blackstone bash, meanwhile the second one is a refference to his tier 4 feat that instakills all enemies caught in it.
I expected the low points for Warden, he's built to be a basic character. He was in his own game, and he always will be since he's essentially the "Ryu" Character of For Honor. Still, they could've done something better than a Catapult. Maybe pull from one of his executions for both. I could see "Blackstone Bash" replacing "Stab Slash Slash Shoulder Bash, as it's essentially that but better. And maybe to replace his Catapult they could've used "Brutality of Camlann" or "Deep Hacking". You could argue that the executions are meant to kill but most supers in the game would just kill someone anyway as they generally do 1/2 - 2/3s of someone's life bar. You'dve damaged them that extra bit before you used the super anyway more likely than not.
I'll give Iroha's an 8. I just the feel of it, she beats the snot out of you and for the final hit she transforms back into a crane for a literal crane kick. The she just slashes and the blood smears the doors. Way too sick for a 7 imo
Baiken's super could've been done better. Have some sliding paper doors appear between the camera and characters and the doors slide shut, showing only the silhouettes. Then have blood splatter all over the doors like they way it happened in XX. That tiny change would've made it so much better.

As someone who plays Iroha, I have only 2 issues with that super. 1) The moment where she transforms into a crane. It should not have lingered there. In her last game it flashed as quickly as all the other hits and it seemed more fitting somehow, only giving you a glimpse of her as a crane. 2) It has very short reach. I don't know why it has to be a grab.

In defense of Warden, if that catapult hits you in For Honor it’s basically just insta death

1. More catapults that hurl multiple flaming boulders at once.
2. Also have ballista's that shoot arrows and bolts alongside the catapults. (Reference to the executions where the opponent can die to arrows, bolts or boulders).

"Better than an MK fatality" funny thing is it reminded me of Freddy's MK9 Fatality but much better
Just realized Baiken's super super is actually a play on her insta kill in Xrd Rev 2
Max your crazy, Irohas second super is an easy 10 :) that last part where she catches back her blades before she cuts you is pretty legit.
As someone who plays Iroha, I have only 2 issues with that super. 1) The moment where she transforms into a crane. It should not have lingered there. In her last game it flashed as quickly as all the other hits and it seemed more fitting somehow, only giving you a glimpse of her as a crane. 2) It has very short reach. I don't know why it has to be a grab.
Max saying 2021 in spanish was so fucking hilarious (especially cause he said it wrong XD)
That character select music is great.
To think this game outlasted MK11 and beat it at EVO before covid. Amazing. Hope to see SNK pull through with KOF 15. Getting it on Series S.
Warden's first super is cinematic mostly because in For Honor it's one of his/her executions
"The blackstone special" i think it was called
Watching this reminded me two things:
1. I still need to play this.
2. WARDEN FROM FOR HONOR IS IN THIS GAME?
Shizumaru did a Samurai Champloo reference of Jin in the first episode.
But using an umbrella instead of a strawhat, still badass af.
Legendary game, epic moments
