Yep! Every mode has its uses. Especially story mode- wait. Someone gave me the wrong Capshill script. I can't endorse this. @Cipher gimme the real one!

Story mode used to be a decent source of FM, now it's still worth it for meme shots.

 

Everything has an use.

Imo it's a bad mechanic for a game where breaking your opponent's defense is  important and taking big risks is punished.

I sorta felt this way. But on the other hand, at least SNK is trying to put something in there to change up the game.

Part of me wonders if they're adding it to speed up the game a bit because even for SamSho this game is sssssssllloooooowwwww and very turtely, but instead of doing something meaningful like, say, giving the characters better frame data or more actual punish options, they went with this.

Yeah, cause you can't put out a trailer about framedata, homie. 

 

I won't say this is a good or bad mechanic, but I feel like it's really going to shake up the game

Sure, but I'd argue it makes the game worse. It dumbs down offense a bit and makes things more predictable which, in a game like this is death. There are plenty of other things they could have done, the frame data thing would have been the best, imo, but they could have given the characters new punishes or moves and they would have been even better than a guard break mechanic. 

 

On the upside someone got into the code and it's possible Amakusa night be the 3rd dlc character this season so I'd be hype for that.

This is a weird way to spell Akuma.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Amakusa was around before Akuma

No, you are correct man. Samurai Shodown launched in summer 1993. SSF2T launched in Spring 1994.

Historically speaking and in terms of video games, absolutely yes. 

[DoctaMario]

It's pretty amazing how much fighting game stuff was actually invented by SNK that Capcom eventually copied. SF2 was the big game that made fighting games a thing, but Fatal Fury came out first, and SNK games were the first to use things like supers, meters, evasive/movement mechanics, etc.

I read up on the actual historical figure and it was a pretty wild story. I love that so many characters in SamSho are based on real life people including Amakusa; it gives the game's lore a bit of something extra for me. 

[Shakunetsu]

SNK always wins in boss presentation the intro and intimidation were badass 

 

While Capcom excel in mechanics but SNK is the innovator one back in the day.

The other character is supposed to be Baiken.  I'm not one for guest characters but if they're going to do one, she seems like a good choice.

Baiken left Guilty Gear to be in SamSho. How upsetting.

[Sonero]

@Mattatsu Happy Birthday! Late but still.

 

@Vhozite I have SF5 "working" on my PC. Lemme know if you wanna try it. Also Rev2 runs properly now too. So we can do thst if you want.

 

 

Guard Breaks are weird mechanics. But I know F all about SamSho so I can't say if it makes sense there.

[Darc_Requiem]

@SoneroGlad to see you around more often man. I hope your family is doing well.

If there was going to be a guest character, she makes sense since she's a samurai type warrior. So if she's in, I'm good with that since it makes sense with the rest of the vibe of the game.

Seth with that Jasmine cosplay....don't tell Pertho.

Porn stache hippy G pretty glorious too. I was hoping they'd give the Rose release date, but not yet.

Me too. Not an uncanny resemblance, but HawaiianShirtMan is a lifestyle, not a person.

Thanks for the heads up but honestly I’ve had 0 motivation to play FGs lately.

I think that the discussion while "interesting" in some way is moot.

The vast majority of the player base for most games will always be on consoles, so the ideal scenario should be actually about having parity on environment and potential of crossplay if possible (but not be an stupid ass that think is mandatory while ignoring the hurdles to have it)

 

Plus, at the end of the day, you play where the games you want and the people you usually play with are.

So if you like to play in pc or console that shouldn't be a a matter of concern outside of what you think works best for you.

 

I, personally, if possible, end double dipping on consoles and pc when i have people to play with on both.

But usually go with consoles because i prefer to have physical media, and with PC is very very rare those days, plus is more convenient for me when playing with friends and cousins locally or when i was organizing tournaments.

This costume for G is fantastic and the CPT stage is cool too. Guess I’m buying this pack at some point.

That Ishtar mod fits so well with Juri's powerful legs and thiccness overall 😩

People might play it on PC but what TO in their right mind would ever host a tourney on one? I don't think it matters for the non-competitive playerbase, but for people who are going to be going to tournaments, console will probably be the main place to play unless there's a big difference in how it performs on one vs the other.

I've also thought about this in regards to the power of your machine with online tournaments. 

 

Someone smarter than me fill me in, if my PC is running this game a booty butt settings, and homeboy I'm fighting is at Super Mega Extreme settings, could it effect the match? 

 

Or just mods on a PC could make TOing an online tournament harder too?

I'm not even talking about an online tournament, just the potential for controller compatibility issues would make running a tourney on a PC a nightmare like that SFV PC tourney they ran in China somewhere. I don't even think hacking would be an issue for an online tourney because they could just Dq someone for that and it seems like it would be pretty obvious unless someone has crazy macros set up. 

 

I'm not sure if settings would be an issue online if the game runs at a stable frame rate. Consoles are plug and play and generally everyone is having thebsam experience across the board.

[Flighflighflugit]

Evo about to be esports central. It was already getting there but now it's going even further beyond  lol

[Yiceman]

I'm glad EVO isn't dead, it was looking iffy for a moment there.

 

I wonder if this also signifies Sony wants to keep a finger in the fighting game world. The console exclusivity might carry over from SFV to 6 after all.

[Mattatsu]

 

[BornWinner]

Unfortunately that dream is dead. Markman said this

 

 

[Mattatsu]

Well there’s more games to be announced, but Smash isn’t in, as of yet... This being an online tournament is likely the reason for that though.

 

 

I’m going to enter for Strive for the hell of it
