"Once seen as a fairly popular fighting series, Samurai Shodown struggled with its last few releases to the point that SNK had left the series sit for some time. Now after letting it rest for over a decade many were surprised to see that the series would be returning with a revival that is aimed at both reintroducing the game to newcomers and bringing in longtime fans with weapon based technical combat that is unlike many other fighters out there. The question is, has this time at rest let Samurai Shodown come back with a fine finish or has it only gathered rust?"
Today SNK announced the release date of the first new character coming to Samurai Shodown as part of the second season pass.
So glad they changed her up for this entry. She was one of the lamest characters in SS 5
SNK CORPORATION CORPORATION (Corporate HQ: Suita-city, Osaka, Japan, Company President & CEO: Koichi Toyama) is pleased to announce that “SAMURAI SHODOWN”, SNK’s latest fighting game, has been chosen as a main tournament title at “Evolution Championship Series 2020” (EVO 2020) the world’s biggest fighting game tournament in Las Vegas, NV held during July 31st - Aug. 2nd 2020 (PST).
No, how much did SNK pay for the default advertising. Or does EVO go by some kind of voting system?
Cultured Vultures: With so many available these days, we've put together a list of the best fighting games spanning decades of the genre.
No way MvC3 is better than MvC2. My favorite is a toss up between SC2, Power Stone 2, and MvC2
Streetfighter 2 championship edition is my favourite of all time. Haven’t looked at this list yet so let’s see if it’s on there.
No Fatal Fury Special, or Real Bout Fatal Fury , no King of Fighters 94 or 96, not even that Naomi arcade game Fist of the North Star? And Tekken 3, on consoles, was beat in every way by Tekken 5, if only for the fact that the PS2 disc came with arcade-perfect ports of the first 3 Tekken games. And Soul Calibur II didn't hold a candle to its successor Soul Calibur III. And Killer Instinct w/e doesn't belong on a list of the 30 best fightig games ever, much less so high in the ranking, it is an abomination to watch and listen to, courtesy of its art direction, graphics, framerate, or music. The 1st one would've been debatable, but the Xbox One one?Yuck...
