DoctaMario Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I don't know how many people play, but I thought we could use a thread for the series just in case! Imo 5 Special is still the best SamSho game, it has the pick-up-and-play simplicity of the other games but it also has a lot of complexity under the hood once you learn your character more what with meter and time management, State Of Nothingness time slow combos, and just the variety of options in terms of play styles and how to play each character. This is probably the most played SamSho game and you can find players on Fightcade, PSN, and Steam. I haven't been playing SamSho7/2019 as much but it's a really good game and if you've never played SamSho in depth before, it can be a good way to get your feet wet as a lot of the concepts carry over to the other games. If you can find people with whom you have a good connection, it's fun. Having a fiber connection will definitely help you have a better experience online. SamSho Discord (has lots of resources for the various games but especially 5Sp and 7) : https://discord.gg/SHs2WVF Let's Learn Samurai Shodown V Special (Tutorial video playlist I made centered around 5 Special but many of the concepts apply to just about all the games) Edited October 20, 2020 by DoctaMario BornWinner, GetTheTables, Reticently and 1 other 4 Quote
DoctaMario Posted November 5, 2020 Author Posted November 5, 2020 Been working on Suija who is a weird sort of character. He has these DP bubbles that will block anything you throw at them but they can only be done in the air (like all his special moves, even his super) and he doesn't have a lot of tools other than that. He seems like he was created with defensive/runaway play in mind, but you can tiger knee into the bubbles from the ground and jail your opponent if they're cornered and confuse them. He's got some interesting time slow combos that rely on bubble cancels though, like this one that I would show you if discord weren't too lame to uploady gif lol Quote

If you want an invite send me a pm. Also, at least for me, when i play i always found matches, granted it is from 10pm to 4am where i live, so that is a factor lol.

What platform do you own it on? Maybe we could play sometime. Quote

Maybe we can play it some time and see how is the connection on our end. This game's netcode is a hit or miss. I can play it well with people i expected to not be able to, while the people i was sure we would have good connections were unplayable, lol. Quote

I'll try it out with you if you add me on psn: TheDoctaMario I have a fiber connection and generally have pretty good connections even to Japan. Quote
