Samurai Shodown 2019

This game is sick. I'm double dipping whenever the Switch port comes.

 

Can someone confirm when you dodge a throw does it leave you both recovering to even (0) or does the dodger get guaranteed follow up?

 

Play the game and figure it out dumbass.

 

Haven't played it yet though. But I have been watching, the YoVideogames crew, play it these days.

 

Cant confirm but it feels like both players are left at neutral after you dodge their throw attempt. Nothing guaranteed after that. It has pretty limited use imo.

 

Have you been able to beat the Boss Shizuka with EQ? I heard its hard to deal with her fan attacks since they appear behind his avatar since he takes up so much screen space. I had a lot of trouble beating her the first time with Ukyo. But the second time around it took me 4 tries.

I really think this is the most fun boss fight in a fighting game that I can remember.

 

Man I dropped Smash and MK11 like a bad habit since Samsho came out. I was playing Smash for hours everyday but I feel like there's too much too many variables and matchups to get really good. This game feels just right and fair (except Genjuro *cough*). Hopefully people stick around for this one for a long time.

 

More people should play Ukyo

 

Yeah at my locals there was a lot of Yoshitora as well, everyone wants to hit seventh sword. Ukyo is a great pick though, I think he's one of those characters where he just can't be bad. Wish he still had his 5AB from V Special though, I want to take half health at half screen

 

It's estimated to be winter for the Nintendo Switch version, so I'll wait for it. I have to face the reality that I have limited options from only having a Switch. Time to move on from retro sadly (keeping Weaponlord and few others though).
