I liked this a lot in Samurai Shodown 3 because of how there was a background, and then like a unique super dark hell version of the background when both folks were close to death. And also the blood splattering finishes with you just standing there with the opponents blood all over you. But man 1993-1995 SNK holy poo poo. They were dropping games with some of the best atmosphere ever in any game left and right.

The winquote screen is the loser's corpse being stretchered off while the winner looks miserable because they just had to murder someone I talk about this in a lot of my way too many words long posts about how incredible SNK was back in the day, but like, so many video game devs rip off visuals and sounds and shots and designs from movies and music and pieces of art and so on, but SNK like, REALLY understood the underlying craft to what made those things truly great in their source material. And you can really see that reflected in how well the atmosphere in a lot of their games holds up today. SNK's always made cool games, but in that standpoint you can see from like 1990 to 1992 how much they stepped up their game publishing cynical cash-in ripoff kind of stuff like Gang Wars and Burning Fight to dropping GOAT level stuff left and right. They came to a head with King of Fighters '99 and arguably 2000 in a way. Like think about when they were being developed and when that concept art came out, this was a game with that soundtrack and those new character designs with those abilities with roots that predates Matrix Reloaded, X-Men 2000, and even the original Matrix. That's crazy forward thinking and having their finger on the pulse for the time. But they sure as hell go their reputation for that with Samurai Shodown. I'm happy to see people excited for the big damage, I always loved how, like, graceful the movement in the SS games is vs. the super over blown every heavy slash hits like a freight train and the world has ended impacts. I typed "floaty" instead of graceful at first, but like, the controls are fine, it's just how it intentionally is and that owns. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Mar 1, 2019 |

99/00 really did have unprecedented style. I wish 2002 UM had their backgrounds instead of the generally drab ones they picked. Maybe they'll read this and make 2002 UM Good Stages Edition

The best is in Samurai shodown 1 in English several characters will say "Wherever you go, my spear will find you." Despite Kyoshiro being the only one with a spear-like weapon.

Oh, are we talking SNKglish? I discovered SNK and got really into their translations about a year and a half ago, and man, the translations are fascinating. SNK was doing simultaneous translation so they could have a global ROM in the 90s, and they clearly had a native speaker coming in and cleaning stuff up after like, two games. (near as I can tell the break is Art of Fighting 1 - the story is super bland like Fatal Fury 1 and 2, but the win quotes show the start of what would become the SNK house style) The simultaneous translation meant they could do crazy poo poo like English vocals that match the text for some endings in Fatal Fury Special, and sometimes lines or concepts would go back and forth between the English and Japanese. It's nuts. ...so what I'm saying is I have no idea how SamSho 2's translation happened. It's wildly out of style and the only thing I can think of is that they only had one native speaker and that guy was busy weirding up Fatal Fury 3.

SNK, in their genius, managed to use the correct modern context of "blood is thicker than water" and then filet it by having Krauser say this (it's his prefight quote for his half-brother, Geese Howard), so we know that his desire for victory is greater than any familial bond which matches a more correct translation of the phrase (the opposite of how truncated way we'd look at it now). This is in the same game where Krauser is like "Geez, what a tough!" and Terry is like "OOOOH, ya make me so mad ya big silly!" Fuckin' amazing.

I haven't really played all that much SamSho other than seeing it in the arcades occasionally. I know V Special is available, is that the best game to get into the series with? On the other hand I heard 2 was the fan favorite.

Actually a fairly legit translation! "In the pink" means "doing well" or "in good health", and the Japanese word it's referring to is means "going perfectly". Then "wubba wubba" was an MTV personality's catchphrase, so really Terry's just saying that he's doing great and he watches MTV, which we all knew to be true. It just, you know, sounds really weird even though it's made out of real, idiomatic English. From what I can tell Terry had a lot of work put into him, which means all his lines are especially strange but not much is actually inaccurate. In Japanese it's the same line as one of his FF2 lines, which was rendered thusly in English:  But most of the time FFS' lines were improvements on FF2's lines. See Billy's standard introduction:   The Japanese line roughly translates to "It’s been a while. Taste my powered up bojutsu." and you can see that the FF2 translation came straight out of a phrasebook + a literal reading of bojutsu and the FFS line has been touched up to add, uh, innuendo but also a pretty good play on words. This is still my favorite FFS line, though. Axel and Laurence to Geese:  ...I should probably take this to the KoF thread, since I really haven't had time to dig into Samurai Shodown yet and I can't talk about what's in there at all.

I am trash at fighting games but my local arcade had SS 1 and 2 growing up and I loved them. I was not aware that there had been any made after 2 so this is pretty exciting news for me. I don't remember 1 and 2 being big damage type games, was that changed in the later releases? I think 1 and 2 had pretty normal '90s fighting game damage levels.

I love this series while being complete rear end at it. I hope to actually improve with this installment, because the last one I played somewhat seriously was when I was like 13 Is it confirmed it's only the 2 roster, or are those all the characters confirmed so far?

As one of those 7 people out there, SS3 was the one my friends in our fighting groups played the most. Yes, half the cast was unbalanced garbage, but we had some of our most intense fights from the characters that were actually good. SamSho was always fun the play in the arcades growing up. Although, one time I nearly got my rear end beat up, because I double perfected someone with only Hanzo pile drivers in 3. It's like a chef's kiss when you run up to someone and just pile drive their rear end, and 3 was amazing with all that speed. Then life got better when the SS3/SS4 bundle arrived from Japan for Saturn and played with those godly Saturn Controllers.

We just can't escape the harsh reality that our favorite characters are shitholes to others. C'mon, let's be honest. We've come across the usual Ukyo is gay >:-( Nakoruru's a b*tch which perfectly suits the hentai junkies everywhere, weak, pathetic, Charlotte's a lesbian, Haohmaru stinks, and the Anti-character society. What's new? Makes your blood (how revoltin') boil though, ne? Well, their differences is the beauty of it all. Well, suppose we make each character perfect, same speed, same strength same in everythin'. Like, what if every character's a Nakoruru? I don't think you'd be happy either, if you are a Nakoruru fan. It would be pretty bored and you can't explore the true nature of the character 'coz hell, the computer's doin' it for you. And what about their appearances? Oh, Haohmaru's yucky >:-( look at those ugly scars. Look at Kyoshiro, he's so ugly. Then, when you meet someone like Ukyo (MiCah, stop droolin'), you call him gay >:-( WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!! I DON'T GET HOW CONFUSED YOU BELITTLED BRAINS ARE!!! Sheesh! What, jealous 'coz the guys got groupies and you don't? Get a life! And this goes the same as with the other characters. You can't appreciate the how bonny or handsome a character is without the ugly ones! Goes the same with their strength. There will always be the greater ones and weaker ones, but how can you tell? Have YOU mastered this "weak" character well enought to say that he'/she's an unacceptable piece of poo poo? Then how come when a true fan uses him/her, they manage the game? Thought of THAT lately? You only have the right when you have COMPLETELY MASTERED EVERY CHARACTER. Then you can weigh who's great and not. But it doesn't give you the right to belittle others and their characters, coz, who knows? Maybe this fanatic has more tricks up his sleeves than you do about the character. And there's the competition. Oh, character's better than yours. It can't be avoided, but hell don't get the heat up! I don't have a problem if you like other characters unless you start to annoy people. I mean, hell, you can brag to the whole f***in human race that Shizumaru's the greatest swordsman. Fine, but you know not all will agree with you. So don't shove it! If someones disagrees, it's his/her right. But don't become sworn enemies for such low reasons. We were blessed with intellect y'know. AND you don't go in an Ukyo club just to say, "F you, SOB's! This character rules!" YOU ARE SO PATHETIC!!! You don't have to degrade other characters because a conqueror cannot be great without his conquests! And hell, I don't like a particular character, but I KEEP IT TO MYSELF damnit! Why? COZ I KNOW THE FANS WILL SUCK MY BLOOD (How revoltin') DRY IF I SAID SO!!! Discipline is needed if we want a peaceful community. Samurai Shodown IS DEAD! As much as I hate to admit it, SNK got bankrupt and we can't do no nothin' about it. Years maybe some fans will revive the game (MC/Ukyo_M, AKM, Violet Pimp: :-) ). But right now, IT'S 6 FEET BELOW THE EARTH DEAD! Makin' war against other SS fans won't solve the freakin' problem, and will only make the remainin' fans LOATHE the game 'coz ya you!!! So don't give a drat about your hated characters, and don't piss other fans off! Live your life as a fan of your most favorite character and not as a jerk off a-hole!

SS3 is broken in a hundred different ways but it's kinda fitting for Samsho that every character can one-touch every other character pretty much whenever.
