My boy Infiltration is back again baby...this guy is a monster. Glad to see him playing SamSho and being the first EVO champ on this game after all what happenned in his life.
I starting laughin so hard when Ryan said while he was commentating," And this is definitely potentially Kanzunoko's last chance to dance here!!"(At 20:08) Lol!! Thats some Evo level 9999 commentary right there Hahaha.

Tbh it is slow paced and has few combos when compared with fighterz, melee, bbtag, etc, but a real man of culture would know that this game is about reactions and reads
Damn, Haohmaru. You made Genjuro lose his sword like EVERYTIME but couldn't punish right and he would get his sword back almost with no problem. I think that was a big issue for the japanese guy.
His problem was he kept disarming him, in the corner of the stage. The weapon doesn't go far then. He'd of been better off saving those attacks mid screen where he could deny him getting it back so easy.
Glad to see the street fighter vet branching out and trying other games since some of them are unhappy with the capcom fighting game scene and help a game love by hardcore fans get more attention as samsho is a very unique fighting game that deserves it spotlight
Just some people will know 😉 that after this fight, just before Genjuro is going to Kill Haohmaru, he gets stabbed in the back by a kid searching for revenge, and later he dies from the injury, Haohmaru often visits and pays respect to Genjuro's tomb.
Samurai Shodown is a calculated game. Mistakes are punished severely. Not something for those who've button-pressed two hundred times and only took out half the opponent's HP bar.
@@OuterRaine Anyone who cannot get through projectile spamming does not deserve to play a game that offers such a strategy. Tons of whiffing attacks? then don't be reckless by face-rolling on the buttons hoping that it would somehow hit eventually. So far, I find Tekken and SamuSho highly stimulating compared to other games that allows one to air-combo opponents for half a minute straight which is more like an exercise in memorization. Which is why games like MvC is so irksome to watch.
Yes tell the legendary kazunoko how to play fighting games after hes being doing that for 20+ years im sure he could use your expertise random youtuber.
Practically, Genjuro is not the stronger character than Haohmaru in more aggressive skills but the Korean player might have reached the game master's level to control his Genjuro character. He showed me well-trained skills to Genjuro control in the match.
I wish they put some Balance changes out before Evo but as it is Genjuro in the right hands is just too OP,Kazunoko played some amazing games like Vs Justine Wong and for me was more skilled and deserved it even more he just seemed to not know what to do with genjuro and the infiltration game style.
Samurai Showdown by far had the best grand finals, it had SF4 vibes. Infiltration has won so many times from the losers side im starting to think he does it on purpose now
The game was advertised as being more strategical due to its very slow pacing in the West...These champions are making it look so high octane, as if it was sped up.
The game looks amazing. The strategy is still here, very much so. Reminds me a lot of the 3D fighters like Soul Calibur, where it can have its fast paced adrenaline, but it boils down to the strategy. Thats what is so appealing to these games.
It's the SDL-301, but it's the version with the quick release shaft. I have the same thing on my stick and it lacks the black shaft cover that's on the original Infiltration lever.
Yeah, probably still has to do with his old courtcase regarding the domestic abuse charges, even though he was found innocent. They'd rather not risk it.
I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something about this year's Evo that is just....okay. that said it's nice seeing a franchise like samurai showdown get new life

Nice to see a fighting game more focused on reactions and punishes rather than massive combo strings, fresh change of pace.

This game looks more strategic and less random than SF.
Kinda true but this game only have 3 viable characters...so SFV is still the most balanced game of all time.
Galford's really strong if you know how to optimize Poppy and timing heavy attacks
@@helloman3676 most balanced is tekken, everyone is viable if you train
@@AndrewA60 tekken is balance because everyone play same, no unique play style for each character.

It is but in the best way possible.

Damn, Haohmaru. You made Genjuro lose his sword like EVERYTIME but couldn't punish right and he would get his sword back almost with no problem. I think that was a big issue for the japanese guy.
Yup, he disarmed him a lot but never capitalized on it.

I can't wait to see how Bandai makes Haohmaru look for Soul Calibur. Akuma and Geese came out perfect for T7. Hype is real.

So glad Evolution took it. He deserves it
Now that's a Samurai Showdown! Great conclusion at the end!

Samurai Shodown is a calculated game. Mistakes are punished severely. Not something for those who've button-pressed two hundred times and only took out half the opponent's HP bar.
Yes, calculating...spams projectiles tons of whiffing attacks...calculating.
@@OuterRaine Anyone who cannot get through projectile spamming does not deserve to play a game that offers such a strategy. Tons of whiffing attacks? then don't be reckless by face-rolling on the buttons hoping that it would somehow hit eventually.

Which is why games like MvC is so irksome to watch.
Yeah boy! Genjuro is my main in Samurai Showdown 2.
Haohmaru could use sake bottle to reflect the projectile
Yes tell the legendary kazunoko how to play fighting games after hes being doing that for 20+ years im sure he could use your expertise random youtuber.
Practically, Genjuro is not the stronger character than Haohmaru in more aggressive skills but the Korean player might have reached the game master's level to control his Genjuro character. He showed me well-trained skills to Genjuro control in the match.

Does Evo japan have the same weight as Evo?
@@kaweribeiro4889 Probably not. But still an Evo technically
SFIV(1), SFV(1), SFxT(2), SSho (1). if you count EVO Japan SFV, then it's six total
I wish they put some Balance changes out before Evo but as it is Genjuro in the right hands is just too OP,Kazunoko played some amazing games like Vs Justine Wong and for me was more skilled and deserved it even more he just seemed to not know what to do with genjuro and the infiltration game style.
I think he needed to take advantage of the disarmed state of Genjuro.
Why would they balance a game so early on the game is still new and people are still figuring stuff out
I love this game backgrounds
You can lose your gauge for the rest of the game if you use rage in the first round?
Yes.
These two make the game look fast and fun
Is this game really fast pace or is it as slow as it seems on the screen?
Exactly like you see it, but when you play its intense and you snooze you lose!
King Raizan need to play slow and careful, or you can lose 80% in an instant
It's how Samurai Shodown has always been
King Raizan it's slow because one mistake and you're done.
Omg is that duck who ran up onto the stage?? Wow the crossover
We get netcode I'm definitely grinding this game
did infiltration gave up on SF?
Samurai Showdown by far had the best grand finals, it had SF4 vibes. Infiltration has won so many times from the losers side im starting to think he does it on purpose now
Is this SC2 Infiltration?
I wanted to play this game, but it seems these are the only two characters I've seen in the half dozen matches I've seen from Evo.
Damn, dude! This game is intense af!!
WHICH version of SS is this?the new one of 2021?
Who else would like to see a Bushido Blade remake?
Barnaby Jones been saying this for years. Why hasn’t this happened yet is beyond me?
@@jaydenrock Probably because a fighter where one solid hit means death would be too frustrating for modern audiences?

did these street fighter players also participate in sf?
Yup. Infil won EVO in SF and Kaz was a strong SF player. Probably not the first time these two met :-)
@@jimmaloney1121 yeah i know them. what i was trying to ask was, did they also participate on the street fighter going on on the event?
