Pretty pumped!  While I like KOF, TBH apart from '98 and 2002 it's not exactly my all-time favorite SNK series.  Samurai Shodown and Fatal Fury are.  So I'm really happy to see them finally doing something else apart from KOF and it being a Samurai Shodown game...that looks good!  2008's Sen was a massive disappointment and this looks to shit on it in every way possible. :hyper

I think KOF pretty successfully scratches the AoF/FF SNK itch for me. Samsho is way out there (Nakoruru aside I guess).

This looks really good! I like the idea of a fighting game that plays this way, high damage but high risk. Also that score is sounding great!

Glad most of the comeback mechanics are only good once a match. If netcode is bad this game will be infuriating to so many people.  :lol

TBH though I have never really considered SamSho a particularly great VS fighter even though it was one of my faves. It can be super jank to play...I love how matches are kind of inconsistent and have wild swings based on the massive damage, but could never get anyoneto really play it much with me. Really curious as to what the real reception is once it's released, but it's getting way more hype than I expected it to.

Also pretty hype for the upcoming collection assuming it's done well. What a time to be alive.

I think ppl are just too used to a certain specific style of fighting game more than anything especially in 2D.

SNK announced that SS is coming out on 6/25 for 'Murica.

SNK has also announced that if you purchase the game (physical and digital versions!) anytime between now and 6/30, you will get the season pass for FREE, which includes the four currently-unrevealed DLC characters!

Free season pass is cool. Was Day 1 anyhow to support this, but nice to get 4 extra characters for free as well.

Called it/totally expected, but at least Rim looks about as good as she could get.

Really hoping for Basara but I’d be ok with any of those. I liked Kazuki/Sogetsu but having both may be a bit lazy. So it’s definitely likely.   :lol

Demo #2 is up on Japanese PSN- go grab it!  It runs in full English...so why didn't they release it here?  :lol :dizzy

Marked the hell out when I started the tutorial and it started playing the Kuroko stage music from SS2.  Looks fucking GREAT, too.  Leagues better than KOF14.  WOW.

Yup; messed with the demo on Friday.  You can really feel the input lag, but I didn't let it bother me since they reduced it a lot for the final build.   :)

It was still pretty awesome regardless.  Am hyped, hope the online is good, and hope this game takes off.

quick glance of reviews and seems good enough, pretty much as expected. I wish it was launching on PC though.  :doge

at least they are throwing in the season pass, hoping there are enough stages to not get too bored...keep seeing the same ones in reviews.

PSA: season pass is free to everyone if you grab it within 5 days it seems, even if you don’t have the game yet.

Game is awesome, played a few matches online with Tam Tam and destroyed, but that is 100% people not being familiar with the game and no one picking him I would imagine. Game just vibes, its like a remake of part 1 with the knowledge of the rest of the series.

The last boss was lol then ugh, so a total SNK boss. Did not beat yet, will try again tomorrow.

Well this BE THE AWESOME.  Old-school style goodness.  This is not a combo-heavy title at all and is very easy to pick up and play.  Net code is overall pretty good from the matches I've played.  I like that when spectating matches, you have 16 different sound effects (cheers, jeers, applause, boos, taiko drums, etc.) you can play and makes it feel like a wrestling match or something, lol.

If you're even remotely interested in this game, make sure to go onto PSN and get the season pass- it's currently free for a few days!

So far am doing the best with Kyoshiro and Charlotte.   Absolutely suck with Shiki.  I like Darli but am already sick of playing against so many of her online.  :doge

see edit above, TAM TAM is awesome but strange. I haven't even tried the new people yet, really just looking around and getting the feel of it. I am really liking the simplicity of it. could feel more tension later on vs CPU, imagine that is what decent level play will be like vs just spamming.

hope it's a hit and is supported for a while, but even if not I am loving it. aside from ringu  ::)

Took a look at the roster though. Generally good although 2 of my old-school mains are missing  :'( both the greens are out. What do they have against Green characters?

Boomerang girl Cham-Cham & claw-man spinning blanka Genan. Oh well. At least most of the rest of the SS1/2 seem to have made it in. I only really played SS1 & SS2 regularly and left the series around 3/4 (still played a bit, but just casually) so I mostly care about the original cast. Looks like Genan is the only missing character from SS1 roster and Cham-Cham, Neinhalt and Nicotine are the only missing SS2 characters.

omg, the loading and optimization on ps4 for this game is so bad.

The core gameplay is great, but idk how long I'm gonna make it with these loads. I hope they can patch it, otherwise PC version gonna be waaaaaay better and worth the double dip down the line.

On PS4 yeah it does seem to chug a bit. still awesome overall, will more than likely wade in online more this weekend. Def would have rathered it on PC as well but what can you do. I think a switch port may be great for it, assuming they can make it work.

I also miss Gen-an, he would have been great in 3D, they did a great job with almost everyone.

Yeah, I would not expect a good switch port given how it runs on PS4  :lol

It's been aaaaaaaaaaaaaages since I played SamSho 1/2 but this system of basically supers being available instantly (basically every move is available from the start of a round since you can rage burst with 0 rage meter and still do a lightning attack or QCF+M+H mini-super) is really interesting and definite goes with the atypical fighting game feel the series has always had. I still love how potent standard slashes are and you can seriously win matches using just like one button and moving around if your timing is good. I don't play Haomaru but his HS reach is still insaaaane. I used to main Ukyo and Genjuro and Hanzo mostly. Ukyo feels good here but his flaming flying swallow is pretty hard to connect. Genjuro seems a bit slower than I remember and haven't messed with Hanzo much here.

Not really sure what this means.  Is there something else not working well for you besides loading?

That type of burst has been in the other games, BTW.  If you use it, you lose your meter completely...so gotta be careful!

I still love how potent standard slashes are and you can seriously win matches using just like one button and moving around if your timing is good. I don't play Haomaru but his HS reach is still insaaaane. I used to main Ukyo and Genjuro and Hanzo mostly. Ukyo feels good here but his flaming flying swallow is pretty hard to connect.

Yes- it's funny how this game feeling like classic SamSho now makes it stand out quite a bit from all the other fighting games out there.  It's a lot slower than everything else and a few well-placed slashes can win a round.  It's very old-school in that it's much less about combos and much more about movement/spacing and timing.  It's a pretty turtle-friendly game and has great defensive options with the dodges and parries.  I can tell who is used to SS and who has no idea how to play it when I go online- have massacred some people pretty easily already.  Kicking all kinds of ass with Charlotte.  She has great pokes/reach and her sliding throw really throws people off.
