It's been revealed that Shizumaru Hisame will be coming to Samurai Shodown as a free DLC fighter in September 2019.

In addition to this, gameplay was shown for Rimururu, Basara, Kazuki Kazama, and Wan-Fu. Remember that these fighters will be releasing in August, October, November, and December of 2019.

The upcoming combatant, Shizumaru Hisame, first appeared in Samurai Shodown 3. One of his cinematic attacks has him using an umbrella to shield himself from the opponent's raining blood.

SNK still had more announcements to make. Clearly they've been very busy.

The first character that will be part of Samurai Shodown's Season 2 pack in 2020 has also been revealed. Mina Majikina apparently came in first place for the Samurai Shodown DLC character popularity poll.

Three other silhouettes were also present. These images appear to be placeholders as they all looked exactly the same. Still, this does tell us that there will be at least 4 combatants joining Samurai Shodown via season 2.

I went on to check Rimururu and am just now realizing they wanted us to redeem the season pass on the store in the first week. Which I didn't do.  :brain :goty2 :PP :stahp

*edit* saw something online it was only for physical copies...it looked like it said purchased 6/25 and it let me get Nakoruru old texture...maybe/hopefully it's just jobbed at moment.  :doge

Does the new Sam Sho have A+B as heavy slash? One problem I have with SNK fighters is their unique control schemes. Like any other fighter would have a heavy slash button. SNK instead makes it A+B and some other weird control schemes no one else in the fighting game industry does.

Seems this doesn’t use AB for heavy. Glad they got rid of that dodge button from SSVS.

Since I play on a 4 face button DS4 I actually prefer 4 button fighters these days even if it’s lame and less depth. 20+ years of playing on PS controllers and I still can’t pull off combos that use L1/R1 inputs mixed in with face inputs.

I mean my favorite fighter VF only uses 3 buttons and has tons of depth so idk

Rimururu is way better than I was expecting, pretty varied moveset with a trollish/Yuri amount of uguu. Kind of surprised considering I never liked her much in the old games.

They also added in an SS3ish winter stage!  :jeb

I liked using Rimururururururuuru in SS4- if she's anything close to the original version, I might use her.  TROLLISH is the magic word.

Ran through story mode with Rimururu, fun move set but I suck with these lower damage short range fast characters. Can you juggle off the b, d, db horizontal ice spike that bounces enemies off the wall? Seems like you should but I couldn’t connect any follow up.

This loading though, man bring on the PC version. I did 1 round story mode and my game timer was like 6-7 mins and real time 20 mins had passed and I skipped everything I could. Less than 50% of the time was actually playing. I get this is less of an issue in 2p with instant rematches over and over but I have no one to play against  :'(

Ok, so the deal with me and online in MP games is I like playing online against friends whether irl friends or internet realm friends,

but while playing against random strangers is ok, since I don't know these people and I don't use voice chat or anything it just feels like playing a cpu on a high setting if I'm not that good and everything is better than me. I think being able to chat and talk about stuff while playing is a big deal for me. It's why I don't mind playing with strangers in FF14 since I'm on a kb+m and chatting while we do dungeons and stuff.

I also don't have a lot of internet friends. Just like you guys, so it's hard for me to play with people I know. I'm down to play with any of ya if we set times like a day before so I can make sure I'm free. I'm west coast and I know some of you are east coast so it's tough for weeknights.

You've brought this up before- Can't speak for everyone, but generally when playing competitive games I don't do voice chat and find that a lot of people are the same.  It's distracting (or annoying if you get matched up with some moron).  I also tend to go for 1-on-1 modes more than lobbies which can be less "chill."

Definitely can depend on the game since in something like SFV, nobody talks since mics aren't even available!  You have to be in a party.  But then in something like DOA, lobbies usually have people with mics talking about whatever.

Not to say that I wouldn't be up for playing and chatting with you if you'd like, because am always down to play with fellow BORITOS. :)

good stuff in patch notes, although I am not sure why you'd remove the invin on DP moves unless in max rage?  :doge

will check out later, looks like move speed increased across the board, wonder how that will work/if it's enough to affect overall match pace.

Our original review called the Neo Geo Mini arcade-style retro console “cute, but an imperfect nostalgia trip.” The Samurai Shodown limited edition, released this week to celebrate the latest entry in the long-running fighting game series, is exactly that, but it comes with more stuff and looks so much nicer

https://kotaku.com/the-samurai-shodown-limited-edition-neo-geo-mini-is-cle-1836996031

So last month.

https://www.amazon.com/Samurai-Shodown-Limited-not-machine-specific/dp/B07T4JL1BM

$140 (without S&H) and apparently the emulation is "not so good" according to Kotaku comments. So you'd be buying it for the "cool" factor.

It's just another variation following the international and Christmas versions, but the game lineup is the same as the regular Japanese version, IIRC.  They have color schemes for Haohmaru, Ukyo, Nakoruru, and Kuroko, some at generally jacked-up prices over the standard versions by import sellers, despite the fact that that nothing is different about them.  I want to say I saw the Kuroko one listed for $250+ recently, lol.

AFAIK the emulation on the NeoGeo Mini is fine and the screen is pretty good- the general complaints are that the controls aren't great on both the unit and the pads, plus TV-out kinda sucks.  You can get standalone units for $85 right now- might get one for shits n' giggles if it gets dumped for $50-$60.

Also to note is that SNK just recently announced a new arcade stick that not only works with the Mini (and PC), but has TV out and 20 built-in games (not revealed yet) of its own.  Interested to see if the TV output on this thing is any better.

https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2019/091003/

Joystick Mode

In this mode, you can use the arcade stick normally by simply plugging it into a NEOGEO mini or PC. We guarantee a solid experience with this arcade stick.

Console Mode

In this mode, simply connect the stick via an HDMI cable into a TV and get ready to enjoy some of SNK’s finest fighting games. There are 20 pre-installed NEOGEO classics just waiting to be played. You can even rearrange the button layout in the options menu. Also, you can attach NEOGEO mini PAD controllers or even another NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro for some glorious 2-Player action!

Strangely less hype for Basara by the trailer for some reason, not sure if they nailed the look. Giving benefit of the doubt since they've done great so far, really curious how close they stick to his original outtros.

Would be nice if free but I am guessing S2.

Basara I am not feeling for some reason. May just be due to fact I have been playing around with characters I never really messed with all that much and don't want to change up, not sure...his play style is the same.

It's also shameful this isn't in:

I was actually thinking about SLASH/BUST last night as I was having fun messing around and thought the rage suicide move was a bit different? It doesn't feel that useful in comparison to the weapon flip, but didn't play around too much. I couldn't remember for sure whether he played more like the SLASH moveset (I really didn't play him much as liked Sogetsu more), but was pretty sure it was. His SSM is an awesome throwback, but wasn't that for the BUST? I'd have to look back.

I wonder if they are contemplating bringing the different movesets back at all, and if so would they wait for a full sequel or push through in an update? Also wonder if they would even keep the US wording or move to the JP 'Chivalry/Treachery.' They tease Amakusa at the endings, I am kind of thinking he would be saved for a sequel but they have been good with updating so far...can see S2 being pretty good. I at least expect a better character select screen.

Overall just really hope they can pull off all the things they are planning with the game. No one is thrilled a Stadia version is pushing out the Switch/Steam versions, but hopefully it was a decent moneyhat that can be put back into the game.

Doubt that Slash/Bust is coming back and am OK with that TBH- this is basically the 2.5D version of SSV and most of the characters generally feel more "complete" this way.  IIRC Bust Kazuki didn't have any of the fireball attacks and had multi-hit kick attacks instead.

I just hope that the Stadia version doesn't mean they aren't releasing this on Steam, but then again I expect it to be dead on arrival there anyway in terms of players online.  :-\

You have to buy the season pass separately, but it's on the cheaper side.  I grabbed the "deluxe" version with the DLC characters since it is (was?) discounted pre-release.
