This game is so good I wish more people played it online

[@TheFightingGentleman]

It sadly became discord fighter shortly after coming out. But itbhas a better netcode now so it might get a resurgence.

[@Mike-rt2vp]

My main would be Hanzo, so that's why I don't play.

[@FusionComet]

​@@TheFightingGentlemanits because this came out around/before covid and the full standardization of rollback games right? similar to the first granblue

[@reee339]

​@@FusionCometyeah, also the first release was on google stadia🤣😂

[@Backtothehat]

There aren’t enough gimmicks and the game is full of moves that require commitment. The FGC does not have the nerve to play this game.

[@Jason-Moon]

Still my favorite fighting game in 2024

[@shaieresmirnoff]

Game reminds me sf4. This game is so good.

[@sultanalabdali5247]

Me too

[@tamuccal1]

SamSho! My favorite fighting game since the first one came out in the arcades over 30 years ago. I remember lining up my tokens to play the next round at the arcade when it came out. Sweet nostalgia. So glad they still make these games

[@nathanarthur4094]

Old school game 🎮 ❤🇹🇹 🇹🇹

[@rvgr12]

Tops 🇹🇹

[@littleoni0]

Warden plays surprisingly like he does in For Honor. Though it's mostly because of both games' core mechanics. Throw works pretty much the same way in both games: instead of dealing damage it opens the opponent to a heavy; in For Honor you can chose to throw your opponent in a direction instead to drain some of their stamina (once out of stamina a character loses access to their specials, their normals don't chain and they take chip from every hit, so it's somewhat like disarming in SamSho) and reposition them, kind of like a back throw. Feinting is a core mechanic in For Honor, every character can feint (cancel the startup) of their heavy normals. Parrying is also a core mechanic, and it works very similarily to deflect, except it's really easy to do on reaction (that's where feinting comes in): if you match the opponent's stance (left, right or top. They did a decent job in adapting it to 2D by makign it high, mid or low), it breaks their stance and opens them to a punish. Warden's charge is what's called a bash: a quick unblockable attack that deals no damage but guarantees a followup light attack; you can also hold down the button to throw off opponent's evasion timing, when fully charged it gains unlimited armor and guarantees a heavy followup instead. And yes, you can trebouchet people in For Honor. In 4v4 game modes, characters gain access to "Feats", single button skills that work on a cooldown. Warden can call a delayed trebuchet strike that pretty much oneshots anyone who's cauth in the blast.

[@TUZOIVAN16]

Damn, Saibot has been looking unbeatable in this game. Great job, Cipher.

[@ReginaldVannison7777]

I love sword fighting! SamSho the best!

[@greenscorpion64]

Dude, Lateenx's Warden is CLEAN as hell! Always exciting to see more SamSho!

[@claudijatzandrapova3347]

my girl, Baiken: getting it done and superb tournament with a sweet diverse cast taking part. Grats Cipher and Scrub for the epic Grand Finals but huge thanks to the other participants as man that was epic

[@LevertonJames]

[@TheFightingGentleman]

[@sirjohnahayfalcon]

[@AlbertoMonroy-lq2vw]

Super bullet looks like Van Dame's friend in the kickboxer movie.

[@Zato-1GGST]

There's for honor warden in this game???????

[@BGRecon]

I need to hop in the next one of these.

[@rendidatriansyah6103]

[@shaieresmirnoff]

[@shaieresmirnoff]

[@wilmofosho]

[@shelbytucker6325]

Brown sugar pop tarts is best pop Tart. Fight me

[@A.Cobalt]

Fight you? Nah dude you’re spitting facts

[@daryllrountree6675]

Wait why is Baiken in this game?

[@Chun-believable]

Games have guest characters. Warden himself is from For Honor.

[@lucasl3657]

I need to get back to this game, but I missed the Steam sale though...

[@BlackjackHG21]

July 29 is the Steam Summer Sale, hopefully it will be lower than, right now it's 35% off, waiting for half or more to buy.

[@chancethrash]

I LOVEEEEEE SAMSHO so much but i be getting grey hairs with how stressful it is to watch. Its worth it

[@Chun-believable]

Sogetsu. ❤️ Good to see some kind of diversity. Baiken is boring.

[@BlackjackHG21]

And seeing Kazuki, one of my personal favorites, Genjuro would be cool to see too

[@LawandOrder-fi5xk]

People still play this game?

[@markhavick7115]

Baiken absolutely destroyed this game.

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

Samurai showdown no sequel 😅

[@TheNaturalGamer1]

Day 173 of asking when DoA tho

[@ohpeep3723]

DoA is underrated for sure. Best 3d fighter mechanic-wise imo

[@21Handguns]

It ain't happened lil bro. Go get a job

[@jclarke90]

DOA is definitely Dead 😂👍🏾

[@BlackjackHG21]

It would be a fun one to watch, but with the easy and limited movesets, I don't think there would be much going for it competitively, but still a good series.

[@TheNaturalGamer1]

@@BlackjackHG21 that game is deep as heck what you mean 1v1 me then

[@RetroGamesMas]

So epic boring asf....this game is not for me.

[@LOUGAone]

And your bame is RetroGames ?? I respect your opinion but I disagree lol

[@shaieresmirnoff]

Game is a sword ⚔️ fight can’t be having 200 slices it’s realistic in that way… and still have powerful looking chemistry…. Always been my second 3rd pic after Sf & mk

[@RetroGamesMas]

Retrogames = nes. Not samurai s.

[@Le-Yipman]

So dont watch

[@BlackjackHG21]

​@@RetroGamesMas Those are the same year, it probably would have been released on NES if it wasn't locked to the NeoGeo, and that claim is very, how do we say, jaded. SamDho is a retro series, that has gotten better with every instalment, the original SamSho is still a go to in arcades. It has only "died out" because it is not as big as a title as other SNK fighting games or FGCs in general, but the fan ase still has a very special place in their hearts for this series. But if you don't like it, leave, you don't have to be here just to be a buzz kill, this is a great game, that is spawned from a series created back in the era of your precious NES, if you even play any of the games from it.

[@burinchatchaloy5146]

Just a Dead Game 😂

[@mauricio2085]

hahahha dead game
