Worst way to die in Samurai Shodown?
Getting eaten by a demon.
Getting hacked apart by a kabuki actor while stage hands dance on your corpse.
Getting crushed by a giant icicle summoned by a little girl.
Having all your major joints broken by a stealthy ninja.
Getting cleaved in two by a drunk rear end in a top hat.
Making the wrong decision twice while Ukyo has you in the corner.

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.

Also, another thing... I have noticed that a number of people have put down "Samurai Spirits" 3. I always ask myself... "WHY!?". Personaly I think it is the BEST of the series... I loved how it had such a darkish look to it, and how the game play was more based on pacients... and not racking up 1000 hit combos. It was truely... liveing by the samurai.

:same: People hated it when it came out but I always thought it was rad. If it had a problem it's just the lack of some characters but I liked the idea of it and FF3/RBFF of just making everyone insane instead of toning characters down.

Haohmaru is based on Miyamoto Misashi, Ukyo was supposed to be Sasaki Kojiro but became Goemon XIII, Yoshitora is Tokugawa Ienari, Hanzo is...Hattori Hanzo

Yagyu Jubei was a real dude, Wan-fu is based on a bandit named Miyoshi Seikai. Not sure if Galford is based on William Adams, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Gaoh is pretty obviously based on Nobunaga, Yumeji then is based on Mori Ranmaru, and VI has loving Andrew Jackson.

There's some humor to the KOF98 UMOL I think. Game sucks but the fat dudes are kinda funny.

I do like how Rugal always breaks the fourth way by opening every line with something along the lines of "As the infamous final boss of KoF'98, I must say that..." There's a lot of in-jokes too.

Yeah, is pretty cool to see actual merchandise for series beyond KOF. The same company is also releasing some smaller figurines of Haohmaru and Ukyo in Super Deformed style.

Ukyo's based on Okita Souji, a famous swordsman who died young from tuberculosis. Not so much in terms of personality, design, or role in the story, mostly just the tuberculosis thing. Like Crow said, he was also meant to be Kojiro before Genjuro took that role. Iroha isn't based on a historical figure, but a famous poem of the same name. Nakoruru was modeled after a popular 80s novel, The Dagger of Kamui, which also served as an inspiration to the series in general.

I wonder if this move will actually be on the new game. I don't think I've ever seen windmill attacks on modern 3D games.

I was thinking of attacks like Heidern's spin but now that you mention it, yeah, Billy's P move is closer in appearance and function to Tam Tam's.
