Samurai Shodown 7 [Grand Finals] - Jonah (Genjuro) vs JDash (Galford) - NLBC 173

[@illecebram5321]

I fuckin love watching SamSho. You cannot button mash. You cannot just run up on your opponent. You better have at least half of a plan and hit punish those whiffs. The art. The soundtrack. The fact that I liked SamSho before anyway. The fact that if you have good fundamentals you really can go far. It punishes thirsty bois. This is awesome. I've been broke as hell so no SamSho for me but watching is good enough.

[@SoilderKrizer]

Why do people call this boring this is pretty much the very fundamentals of what all fighting games are about by playing this game. You would most certainly get better in all fighters because of its nature of being a footsie's game about taking your time

[@Jackmillsable]

Soldier Vuster I find this boring because it’s a game of reads, it’s not flashy or interesting to watch at all. The attacks are too powerful and the matches are too quick. There’s nothing good to watch here unless you play the game yourself. I watch Tekken, melee, fighterz and ultimate regularly and this is just not entertaining

[@Imadeyourun]

@@Jackmillsable This game is like chess. It's all about reading your opponent's moves. This game doesn't need to be "Flashy". It's different and that's why so many like it.

[@Clasteau]

LOL, the guy yelling SWEEP THE LEG!

[@RichterBelmont2235]

The match at 3:00 , simply guess wrong three times and you're dead. This game is perfect for trolling your friends.

You will lose in any fighting game if you do three mistakes lol.

[@willn8664]

lol wow Jonah is my younger cousin who I haven't talked to in awhile. Dude is a hardcore gamer indeed. Really good in DDR and alot of other games.

[@portalsofmadnes]

which one is Jonah? blue or red headphones?

[@TheSilentVoid_]

I'm seriously so confused why people call Samurai Shodown boring? Even the previous games are like this. The principle that any character can basically whiff out your health with a few hits is part of being methodical and strategic. If you want those flashy combos, try Yoshitora or maybe Charlotte for all I care. But remember, if you play on an elite level like these two are, a rushdown is the stupidest thing you can do when you have characters like Genjuro or any of the characters. You have to be methodical. Sure, it's slow. That's part of being methodical in Samurai Shodown. You need to see what you can do first. If you like rushdowns, go watch Tekken tournaments. I love both Tekken and SamSho. Both are entertaining to me. Any of you who have this negative bias against this, just know I respect your opinion... But please, don't say this thing is boring and repetitive. Even Tekken is the same throughout its evolution.

[@KaibaBlanco]

It's a samurai duel

[@jasonnguyen1840]

I remember playing Samurai Shodown 4 years ago and the Level-8 Genjuro AI would never let you finish a jump. Every time I jump he’d Kouyoku Jin the living fuck outta me. That move alone make Genjuro an excellent defensive character. People seems kinda hesitant to do it in SS2019 tho

[@ignis488]

If you still haven't figured it out, the CPU was actually input reading you, not reacting. 99% of SNK games have CPU input reading, and on boss level (especially in arcade era games), they input read even before you move

[@SkilledNature]

When your sword drops you can run in for a grab then do ➡️➡️LS and get a knockdown. Good way to get your sword back

Awesome matches and commentary!

[@shiorine1]

1:18 Recoil cancel in action. Is 5H really punishable? Nah it's a 50 50 whether I'll dp or not. Stupid new mechanic introduced by the geniuses in the new SNK. btw Genjuro's light dp is barely punishable, I bet the nerf hammer will land on him next patch.

[@malcovich_games]

Hmm... Isn't B guaranteed after blocked 5C?

[@shiorine1]

@@malcovich_games I haven't labbed it so I dunno, maybe if you insta block the 5C? Just count how many times Jdash couldn't punish because Jonas cancelled into light dp.

[@malcovich_games]

HKrelight i think, 5C punishes block 5C if they didn't do anything on recoil, 5B punishes them for free before their cancel. Not sure if Galford can reach with 5B from the range Genjuro would 5C though, which is probably why Jdash was trying different things. Theory fighter gotta test: Galford's best option select for blocked enemy far 5C, is Plasma Blade, then immediate 5C if enemy DP's. Finally i think people still aren't realizing the low blockstun in this game... maybe even Genjuro's light DP can be punished by mashed out 2C for free? P.S. just defend only gives meter sadly, no additional plus frames

[@shiorine1]

@@malcovich_games Well we won't know until someone labbed them. Evo is close I'm curious how the game plays out, from what I saw I don't really like the recoil cancel thing tbh, something punishable should be punished, now you even have to second guess urself.

[@cococoquito3559]

If you like SS then I also recommend Last Blade 2 for those who don't know it. Comparable atmosphere and interesting characters with great mechanics tho Zantetsu is pretty abusable.

I'm usually not into nerfing characters but genjuro needs to catch the hammer. His tools are way too strong compared to a roster where almost every character has been gimped by devs. Kyoshiro will never smell tourney play 🤣

[@angelgarcia4716]

No parece estar mal el juego, respeta un poco los clásicos, pero no aguanto esta nueva moda de tener que poner cartelitos a todo, y encima enmedio de la pantalla tapando hasta los personajes. Poned las barras y los cartelitos lo más apartados de la acción posible, hombre. O no pongáis cartelitos, en los primeros juegos de lucha versus no estaban todo el rato avisando de si había un contraataque o no, ni otras mierdas, ni falta que hacía.

[@MolenTheGreat]

Cállate alaverga

[@DEADPOOL9AND]

Porque esos juegos no tenían esas mecánicas. Y los Samsho si tenían estas cosas, al menos del 2 en adelante.

[@angelgarcia4716]

@@DEADPOOL9AND Sí que las tenían, lo que ocurre es que no lo anunciaban con un cartelito a cada momento. No lo veo bien, esa necesidad de tener que anunciarlo todo (como en el SFV que salen cartelitos diciendo si hay contraataque, los combos, si te has librado de un agarre, todo) pero más o menos lo puedo tolerar. Lo que no aguanto es que pongan los cartelitos de manera que tapen los personajes y la acción. Si hay gente que por lo visto necesita saber en todo momento si ha habido un contraataque o de cuánto ha sido el combo, como si no se acabara de ver, pues vale, pero ponedlo un poco más para la esquina y con letras más pequeñas, no enmedio de la pantalla. Lo mismo pienso de las barras de energía o de magias, tanto en los SF como en este, tapan los pies de los personajes. Prefiero ver bien dónde están los pies en todo momento, es importante para calcular las distancias, las barras deberían estar más cerca de las esquinas y no tapar nada.

[@MrBranh0913]

It is a slower game. That's not a bad thing. I personally can't stomach dbfz games where characters are either in blockstun or being combed all game. I personally like the slower pace. Not every game is for everyone. There are enough fast pace games emphasizing setplay. So it's cool to have a game that is all about patience and strong neutral
