Then in 1990's I saw this Samurai Showdown 2 and it got me a little hooked for a few months but the cost of playing out weighed the fun . Not like street fighter. If some one cheated on me with chun li I would drop 5 bucks of quarters in and say You gonna get what you deserve now hahahah. Then its tap throw for many hours lol. Big girl fight :)
I was never a big gamer, But I'll tell you my story. When I was 10 I feel in love with super tennis which was at my moms college. Then at 11/12 ish I enjoyed super mario brothers but nothing else. Then later on around 17 years of age my local shopping center got a game called street fighter 2 (I didn't care for street fighter 1) So I played it with some kids after school and I was addicted ! . After a few years of play it where ever I could find it while out. I never played anything their after.
I love Samurai Shodown 2 but I bought the arcade on xbox live and everybody owns me lol I think I have 84 wins 260 loses lol but everyone just does special moves over and over again
nice jubei counter attack....love that move! and i forgot about how the peddlers could drop off turkeys that will fill your life back up completely.......or damn near.....anyways....the best SS game. period
this is the most realistic ss so far cause each attack is so powerefull, just like in a real fight , youll get cuts and stuff but overall the fight will end in 30 seconds or less
I love how one 'Fierce' attack on here can take 40% of the health bar. Makes battles much, much faster and more lethal, which was the point of the series until SS IV and on, when it turned combo-crazy
The Samurai Showdowns were always alot better than Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and King Of Fighters, to me. The animation and characters are the best!
You're joking right...? animation? It's clear that the animation is terrible but when it comes to characters, I really can't say..it really is subjective. But for sure the animation is terrible in comparison.
I was directly referring to the animation. What I said had nothing to do with the fighting mechanics and gameplay. If you look at the comment I replied to you would see that I was referring to when he said "the animation and characters are the best". I never said the game was bad, i simply stated my opinion...that the animation for this game are bad compared to say...Street Fighter 3rd strike or something of the sort.
@nec3dg i also liked the second game of samurai shodown the best but i have only played 2, 3 & 5.
what you think about the other samurai shodown games? personally i that the 3th game was a bit corny & 5 i also liked but i find it less challenging & original then the 2d samurai shodown.
MvC is completely unbalanced and special move inputs are too simplified. I love the game, but it's no where near as good as SS2 as far as having a balanced fighting system.
being the SS2 champion in my country, i know good playing from bad
also, back in the day when EGM used to actually be a help to gaming, rather than online sources, we learned every single move possible, PLUS cheats/hidden moves, and other tricks. there was no such thing as using 3 moves over and over. it was utilize everything, have some flair and speed, or go home. even casual SHOULD have some style. THAT'S playing.
i owned a Neo Geo and SS2, and whilst not playing in the arcade, i'd play at home. also, i'm the KI2 champ, SF2 champ, SF2 turbo champ, DS champ, and i'm a girl.
the arcade opened at 10am, and closed at 11pm, and while i was not modelling, i was there.
sorry, but button-mashing doesn't make a good player. it's competition against all talents that hones your skill. i played tourists from the US, venezuela, europe. they all paled.
haha, lol at that Kyoshiro v. Genjuro match at the end...that Genjuro player was beatin the shit out of the Kyoshiro guy til he got 2 pieces of energy which gave him more than half life back!...goddamn this game is classic...imma fire up my MAME and play that shit!...and damn, Sieger is HELLA broken, lol
At our arcade when the game came out, I was the only Sieger player, and I never knew of the slide into uppercut into air followed by back breaker. I could get the gauntlet to fire shells, repell stuff andthe weapon breaker but that was it.
i feel sorry for that genjuro user. that kyoshiro got way too lucky. i don't remember the cpu dropping 3 pieces of meat in such a short time though, way too lucky.
i used to own at this game....sieger was so easy to beat...only that one move was tough, the low grab thing...genjuro and genan..i would never loose..i used to beat this game with one quarter...unless the judge arrived...i only beat him once
