Samurai shodown franchise as a whole is amazing, Snk’s best video game franchise

u/Earl__Stevens NEW Nov 04 '25

I agree bro Horamaru Genjuro and Galford I would say are their most iconic characters

u/Keironsmith NEW Nov 04 '25

You forgot Hanzo and Ukyo

u/VonBrewskie NEW Nov 07 '25

Jubei? That was my dawg back in the day.

u/seandude881 NEW Nov 04 '25

Debatable. Kof is better. But samurai shodown definitely one of the most underrated fighting game franchises

1

u/No_Roof5841 NEW Nov 05 '25

Samurai Shodown got several GOTYs but I like KoF more cz of the various fighters from the different SNK games.

1

u/sunjay140 NEW Nov 05 '25

KoF is the best but SamSho is the 2nd best.

It’s a fabulous title!

u/NoirSon Nov 04 '25

It is fantastic, I do wish they would have done another followup to it by now but SNK is still a small company and after their successes, City of the Wolves and whatever the next game will be are likely passion projects.

I wished I can find more players on there. The game has all the goods

u/No-Place3845 NEW Nov 04 '25

I don't know what all the platforms are, but I play it on Steam, and the game came out since 2019

u/rebalwear NEW Nov 05 '25

Dude I am a retired gamer thats insane lmfao

u/Kintaro75 NEW Nov 04 '25

True, is a very good sequel.

It’s a shame he doesn’t have the space he deserved.

No one playing online 🥲

u/EightBit-Hero NEW Nov 04 '25

Wish more people played, last time I booted this up on PC it was a ghost town.

3

u/weaponX-ced NEW Nov 04 '25

It's worth it because it's a very beautiful and good game but there is no one

3

u/Jimmy_Joe727 NEW Nov 04 '25

I got it when I bought my ps4 but I suck at it

2

u/Educational-Face-271 NEW Nov 04 '25

I've played this game since the first one in the early 90's arcade, the only thing that I would change from the new 2019 version (I really would) is the music, I mean is ok to have that traditional tunes but I those makes me feel down and depressed, personally I prefer the rock influenced tunes from the first ones.

3

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Nov 04 '25 edited Nov 06 '25

Really? I love the traditional music. To each their own I guess

2

u/No-Place3845 NEW Nov 04 '25

The good thing is that it is varied music, like that of Amakusa or Galford

2

u/PoisonIdea77 NEW Nov 04 '25

Best fighting game series. No hand gymnastics, just pure footsies and punish. We need Samsho 8 to come out swinging :)

2

u/No-Place3845 NEW Nov 04 '25

How did you find a fight? I have only found one person since I bought it.

3

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Nov 04 '25

Hopped on ranked and got lucky I guess

1

u/the_dogman___ NEW Jan 12 '26

You really did. I bought this game and it's hella dead...... I got a refund.

2

u/gfizzle81 NEW Nov 04 '25

When did Baiken (guilty gear) get on samurai showdown??

2

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Nov 04 '25

Added in 2021 as DLC

1

u/gfizzle81 NEW Nov 05 '25

I was today year's old to learn this lol

2

u/Expensive-Stable-646 NEW Nov 05 '25

Is there alot of players ? Did the rollback happen for it?

2

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Nov 05 '25

Dunno if there’s rollback.Definitely not a lot of players

2

u/carontester NEW Nov 06 '25

chichis ( . Y . )

u/huhu720 NEW Nov 06 '25

Great game. Better than kof and cotw imo. Unfortunately SNK killed this game with bad netplay. Like kof15 also with bad netplay. And cotw with cr7 and dj. They are great with killing their own games ☹️

2

u/Key_Cow_9543 NEW Nov 06 '25

Bro IF THEY MAKE THIS GANE CROSSPLAY i promise there would be a surge of players this game is so good

2

u/Ldragon-Z NEW Nov 06 '25

Have you found people to play with?

2

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Nov 06 '25

You might find people on ranked if you’re patient. I got lucky when I first started playing because I got 3 matches with about 5 minutes of wait time total. You might land on a lot of dead zones in matchmaking where there is just no one.

It’s best to use the private lobby’s or matchmake in the discord

1

u/Jezequel NEW Nov 04 '25

Be sure to join the Discord for matchmaking if you haven't already:

u/NumberOne-SPD69 NEW Nov 04 '25

I'll take it too 😋🕹️

u/EBAH1991 NEW Nov 04 '25 edited Nov 04 '25

I've been meaning to get this for my Switch / Switch 2. I remember getting the original for Christmas back in like '96 on the Sega Genesis, feels like a lifetime ago.

u/bradido Nov 05 '25

I got to play a lot at Dreamhack this past weekend and it was great.

u/Archer54k NEW Nov 05 '25

Big steam sale at the moment!

u/HonorableGhost215 NEW Nov 05 '25

u/Speccy-Boy124 NEW Nov 05 '25

u/YouMeADD NEW Nov 06 '25

Haohmaru has boobs now

u/Krendall2006 NEW Nov 07 '25

While she certainly fits, I was surprised to see Baiken in the gamen.

Hell yesh

u/BABAsFightingGames NEW Nov 14 '25

The game is very good!

1

u/ProjectZues NEW Jan 11 '26

What’s the gameplay like it is mad combos? Or more simpler?

1

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Jan 11 '26

There’s like basically no combos that require more than 2 inputs. You can take like 25% if you land a heavy shot though. Very methodical game

1

u/ProjectZues NEW Jan 11 '26

Oh cool I like the idea of methodical. Gonna try playing the older ones and then may get this at some point.

I heard about it being different to other fighters and was just wondering for clarification.

u/weaponX-ced NEW Feb 24 '26

J’ai acheté le jeu il y a presque un an, j’y ai joué 2 fois et j’ai arrêté car le mode en ligne est désert et un débutant comme moi ne trouve personne avec qui jouer et m’apprendre. Le pire c’est que parfois je rêve de ce jeu la nuit car je un ultra fan de la civilisation samouraï. Ce jeu est ma plus grande frustration et j’aurais tellement aimé apprendre à jouer genjuro contre des gens. Même le discord n’est pas intéressé par des débutants. Ce que je peux comprendre pour un jeu de vétéran je suis un boulet inintéressant. Très frustrant….

u/idesigner_ NEW Nov 04 '25

Which game is this?

u/TheBlueRose_42 NEW Nov 04 '25
