Lets look at Sclash, an Indie 1-Hit 1-Kill Samurai Fighting Game! 

So today we look at Sclash, an indie fighter that goes under the classic 1-hit 1-kill rule in proper Samurai fashion! Been out for a little bit on PC but its newly out on console so figure this is a good time to take a look and see what the game is about. If you like the old classic bushido style concept of you die for making 1 mistake, in a stylish samurai aesthetic, kinda hard to go wrong, especially cause the game is budget priced! Give a watch and lemme know what ya think!

See now, Honda's command clap would catch all their swords.

Also I did promise an extra special video for today. While this video is certainly special enough, its not quite the one. Tune in say... around 9pm EST for a fun little treat 👴

Footies 2.0

Been playing this for a long time...helped me a lot in learning spacing, footsies etc

Time to show up and share some fun facts (absolutely for the lab-monsters), I happened to be an alfa tester on this. It's a pretty funny game and you can absolutely play it with anyone that doesn't wanna commit to larger fgs. That aside, there are a few high level mechanics that we found and the developers decided to leave in. The soul of the game on a high level is kara-canceling. You can kara your attacks into parry and hilt-strike which have a few appications. You can do this with the dodging attacks as well, so you can dodge into parry or hilt-strike, extending their range, doing weird Akuma like teleports or just gaining distance. You may also notice that characters have 2 attacks in a cycle. Kara moves actually move the cycle so you can mix between single attack and double attack with the character Amaterasu for example. It's actually a pretty nice game for labbing.

This seems fun with a friend. Reminds me of Nidhogg a bit

So a 2D Bushido Blade, but with intentional depth like Footsies? Sounds like fun!

Reminds me of 1 Strike and 2 Strikes. 2 Strikes is still in production but it's basically this

This is games looks really nice! A nice little change of pace from T8 & SF6 from time to time...this the perfect game to play when your waiting for your flight in the airport

I have a friend who excels at spacing and footsies, time to get bodied in this 😭

If samurai Showdown and footies had a child :

I've been waiting for this video since early last year when you mentioned it. I find this concept really interesting

I played this game at EVO 2023 and bought it immediately. It was really fun playing at the booth and talking to the devs. In top of all that, it’s memories.

I think you should put a link to the game in the description, it's the first thing I searched for when opening the video.

Glad you posted this video, otherwise I would have had no idea about this game. It definitely appeals to me. I think I’ll pick it up and try it out with a friend this weekend.

Finally, nagoryuki simulator

It'll be a long while til we ever get something that matches Bushido Blade more closely but this'll do BB wasn't just one-hit kills as it also allowed you to use the large 3D environment to get the upper hand like making tactical retreats or obtaining the high ground

It looks cool. Most 1-hit-ko-ish fighters tend to have really quick rounds and not much content so they feel a little too repetitive to dedicate much time for it, but this one seems to have a decent degree of depth to defense and not immediate kills back and forth. Which can be fun, but really only for a short while.

Die By The Blade releases 16th may. You should definitely check this game too as a one-hit fighter. Also, I'd gladly hear your point of view about Hellish Quart, as a one-hit fighter ^^

$10 and you can get a kitsune mask!? I'm sold! Assuming I remember by the time I get off work lol.

Bushido Blade was such a fun time. I remember the hammer being crazy.

Check out 'Blades Of Gory' if you like indie fighting games. That has a 1 hit 1 kill mode as an option.

Thanks for highlighting good, independent fighting games, too.

Divekick/Bushido Blade/Footsies? Hotel room money matches of this are gonna be popping off at the next major

Looks like a cool, simple fighter, aesthetically pleasing, especially considering its budget! Guess I'll have to consider getting it on the Switch if I need a way to pass time while I'm away from home.

Die by the Blade came out a couple of days ago. It's 3D and seems to have a Sclash-meets-Dark Souls vibe to the combat.

Reminds me of Hellish Quart a little bit.

Thanks for showing a fame like this. Definitely gonna buy it to play with my friend

this game looks super cool

This looks sick!

I always thought it would be super sick to make a starwars fighting game with Jedi and Sith that was a one hit game. I thought a really cool mechanic to make the game neat would be that there would be no blocking, but every attack had a collision hit box so if you both attacked and the hit boxes connected you would clash and nobody would get hit. Think like dragon ball fighterz but way more likely to happen, and idk if you would be able to cancel out of the clash. I think the concept could be really cool and feel like a real lightsaber duel

it looks so good!

No bad ill definitely check it out

this all looks sick

I bought this like last week on PC. It's honestly kinda dope. It's like if Bushido Blade was a 2D fighter and didn't want to make your eyes bleed.

This makes me want a new bushido blade

Doing fgc gods work rooflemonger!

Looks interesting

I wish they would re-make bushido blade, that was my game back in the day

Bushido Blade jr

Just bought it🎉

Footsies 2: EDGE

I miss samsho

Is this same devs as salt and sanctuary? Artstyle seems super similar and extremely cool.

I want 3D fighter like Tekken with no lows or grabs and more of an emphasis on movement. It would probably flop/be terrible but I'd love to see it and play it.

To me, it is like Karateka... or Bruce Lee

Rooflee I wish you'd look at idol showdown again i cant find any guides to help me. Especially to deal with crazy shit. Im bad and probably just unaware of what to do LMAO.

Make sure you’re ready for die by the blade.

You should also review slice, dice, and rice

Similar to another game ive played called solo slash, anybody heard of it or is this a pretty common game idea?

Reminds me of Slice Dice and Rice..... I think that game was a bit better executed

I know a soulslike when I see one

Can you turn off the UI controls on top?

I wonder if it has rollblack

what was the fighting game you said a dew months back i think it was called "cut throat" from what i remember

The animation can do with a little more speed.

THIS IS FUCKIN DOPE

Alright, so where is Dee jay and how do I drive rush

Fucking dope

Why sclash and not the Game that Sclash is based on? (One Strike) Can you please look at One Strikes successor Two Strikes, it‘s a really fun game, that is using only the basics, just like sclash, but aesthetically looks better and gameplay is better in my opinion. :) If you do, I will become a member or something idk :D thanks :)

Isn’t there also a different game coming out that’s a one hit kill fighting game?

As a pro capcom player who has won most of my tournaments i find this game to be insulting to skill
