History Of Samurai Shodown - Episode 2: The Sequels 

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!

SNK is a great brand, with unique identity with bunch of inspiring goodlooking cool characters! Long Live SNK! I can spend hours on NeoGeoNow! Thanks for your amazing and respectful work!

"All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai." You're winner, translators.

SamSho 3 was so freaking complex. Loved it.

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

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.

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.

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.

OMG...SAMURAI SHODOWN 3 IS SOOOOOO DAMN AMAZING TO ME😃

I've loved Neogeo since I was a child. I now own two cabinets and multiple cartridges. Neogeo forever

For all that SS3 lacked in gameplay polish (and its bare bones story presentation compared to the other entries), its stylistic polish was insane.

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

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 :)

I love Samurai Shodown. These videos are superb. Great channel; subscribed. 👏

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.

Thanks! Apreciate your vids dude keep it up, please more vids to come!. 😎👍

Awesome video on this series please keep up the great work!!

Loving the series and the edits. Well done Sir. Cannot wait for episode 3!!!

Such a complete review, like never was done! Good job!

I love snk games so much,this was an awesome video man, thanks

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.

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

Really informative series man, found out stuff I never knew. Keep up the good work

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.

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.

Ss 4 is arguably the best of the series.

Good info ! Thanks.

Awesome vid 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great Job. Keep these history of's coming

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.

Amazing video! great job as always. :D

Absolutely love the video man :D

somehow my all time favorite was that 'broken' samsho 3 :P

This is some phenomenal work! I have to ask though, when will episode 3 come out?

Excellen!, well done!

SNK stopped porting games when they came out with the CD, which is why it wasn't ported for so long.

Thanks for showing SamshoIV some love

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.

I love your videos :)

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.

This video series makes me want to buy a Neo Geo Console lol. Another great and very detailed video :)

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.

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.

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!!!

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

Shame Samsho 3 is so looked down upon, I really like it and its probably my favorite one outside of the RPG lol.

Ukyo Tachibana is underrated af

2 and 3 are the best part of the series. Maybe until now! Mega hyped for new Samsho

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.

Nice video 👍🏼, when u will upload the other episodes, I'm very excited for Sam sho 5 special episode.

I wish I found these games sooner.

You forgot Ukyo in Samurai Shodown 3.

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.

That feel when Charlotte is in love with Hoahmaru but he already has Oshizu....

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.

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.

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.

How do you play has Mizuki??

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

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 is the name of the track from 0:00 to 0:27

Where is episode 3? :'(

Why Mizuki have like 2 voices?

O gentle traveler...Do you know da wey?

Samurai Shodown III is still my favorite. I don't care what anyone thinks.

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!

SAMURAI SHODOWN 2 remains the best

I want Nicotine Caffeine!!!!

When's Part 3 coming out?

Idk what they say parts 1-4 and including the nintendo 64 version was the best.

if this game add more characters from the last blade 2 game, this game will be more awesome and cool

What i have in original state, all jp import =] PS1: samsho4 Saturn: samsho4 NeoGeoAES samsho 1 samsho 3 samsho 4

Samurai 4 was on Windows

Samurai showdown 1 and 2 where ported to the ps1

Who likes 2d games more than 3d? Who's with me? ....nice content by the way

i thought developers from capcom were involved in samsho

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.

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.

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

There is only Samurai Shodown 2.

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

So the fighter with umbrella is a boy? OK

SNK DID IT FIRST!

In fact Galford and Earthquake are Mexicans....

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

SNK is better than super smash cause super smash is 🗑
