I just queued this for download on my Xbox game pass. I love old school arcade style fighters. Takes me to back in the day when I would hit up the arcade with my dad.
If anyone's wondering, Ukyo is coughing because he has tuberculosis. Also, if memory serves me correctly, back in the day they thought apples helped fight the disease. That's why he always has some on him, and uses them for his attacks.
111EJG I understood as much back when I was a kid and playing the arcade. But today I realized why he's running from the girls, it's not only his girlfriend that he doesn't want to disappoint, but he doesn't want to infect anyone either. This game was so well thought out it's nothing short of a masterpiece of art, down to every little detail! :) Personally I preferred Galford! Doge (puppy) rules!
I knew this had a reputation as one of the towering classics of the fighting game genre, but I didn't expect it to look so damn satisfying. I can't wait for it to come to Virtual Console!
This is one my favorite 1994 SNK game, I beat the game by using Jubei, the one with the katanas and I beat Mizuki the one who's the last boss, and got a good rank on my score that was just enough to have it on the Top Ranking List.
The characters Hanzo and Jubei were actually based on historical warriors who went by those names. In other words, Hanzo and Jubei did exist, and in today's modern culture, they appear in video games, books, manga, anime and film.
And I noticed a couple rounds near the beginning of the video where you might have been able to finish the round immediately if you used the CD version instead of the D version. Sorta beats having to fish for one last poke to kill the opponent at the very end of the round. Just my 2 cents. Good video though.
I can't believe there is someone out there this damn good at this game because I got the collection and I know the makers programed the game to cheat their ass off.LOL!
it does take skill to get a perfect every round even on the easiest difficulty setting...you may get hit once or twice on that level so it is a bit impressive you managed to stay untouched
was the referee not a secret character that you could fight against at some point? like jade, smoke or reptile in the MK series before they were playable characters?
Hi, thanks for these informations I've been looking for them. However he says Ippon! at the end of a round unless it's the final one, do you know what he says ?
and ninja scroll is based off....ninponcho by futara yumada and that is in turn based of the koga ninja scrolls, which is in turn based on myths and history. Take hatori hanzo that guy appears all over the place as a ninja which is weird cuz the real dude he was a samurai known for his spear techniques...
Hmm, I don't know if doing the combo off a jump-in forward+AB into AB > AI would make the CD version not guaranteed, but I know that whenever I can get an AB off whenever I play, I usually get the CD version guaranteed off the standing AB. Granted, I never go for an AB off a jump-in f+AB since I still don't know the timing for the standing AB to connect, but I can't imagine it would change the on-hit property of the move...
Jajajaja!! Parecia sorprendente, hasta que Hanzo lanzo el poder y Ukio cayo sobre el sin que se quemara jajaja!! casi lo logras!! Aunque tengo que aceptar que es buena reseña de un gran juego!!
I am curious why you never use the CD attack for Ukyo's afterimage special move. Sure, it leaves you open if they block but it does substantially more damage in combos.
Maybe at this time when recording this clip, he had not recognized there is a CD attack. The same like me, I had finished the rounds of this game a lot of time before I knew that there is a CD attack. This video bring me back to a very nice memory nearly 20 years already. ;).
Tem como lutar 3x na mesma ficha contra kuroko, basta derrotar o cpu no segundo round com um special quando O TEMPO estiver ABAAIXO DE 20 SEGUNDOS NA SEXTA luta(6)ou NA OITAVA luta(8)ou NA DECIMA luta(10) . Tudo testado, mais nao encontrei nada na net que esplique isso descobrir tentando......
you are using a cheat code, there is no way you could have went through haohmaru's crescent slash uppercut, in ss2 that move was invincible at the start and could counter anything especially standing attacks, definte cheat code or enabler.

Thanks, I was wondering why he was coughing.

+111EJG In SS3 he starts coughing blood all the time so his TB has worsen.
Wow i thought it was because he was an alcoholic
I knew this had a reputation as one of the towering classics of the fighting game genre, but I didn't expect it to look so damn satisfying. I can't wait for it to come to Virtual Console!
The VERY best 2D fighter of all time, in my honest opinion.
Oh man I use to play this game as an arcade game all the time back as a kid at the indoor flea market. Playing games for quarters....was fun......
This is one my favorite 1994 SNK game,
I beat the game by using Jubei, the one
with the katanas and I beat Mizuki the one
who's the last boss, and got a good rank
on my score that was just enough to have
it on the Top Ranking List.
wow! hard to believe anyone can play this game perfect like you out there.... FANTASTIC!
Your like my role model I want to get all perfects like you one of these days keep up the good work!
The music and the design is excellent i really like it.
Someone seriously needs to make a new samurai showdown. These games were awesome!
Great!Congratulations,samuray shodown 2 is epic.
I miss these games.
dude i 100% agree with you abour street fighter 2 turbo...one of my all time favorite games for snes
Danke!
Endlich mal einer der auch nur mit dem Huster spielt.
one of my favorite games
JOGUEI MT NA MINHA INFANCIA!!! GRANDE JOGO
this game was my favorite when I was a kid.
NJ!!! I have the Hardest time with the game near the end! You have some serious skillz!
Thanks, Jubei is my favorite character.
wow! this game reminds me of good memories
The characters Hanzo and Jubei were actually based on historical warriors who went by those names. In other words, Hanzo and Jubei did exist, and in today's modern culture, they appear in video games, books, manga, anime and film.
I love how Earthquake is full of roast chickens
Cara que viagem no tempo! Eu jogar fliperama com esse jogo, um dos melhores que joguei!
I absolutely commend you, and I like Ukyo too!
I noticed that when you do the AB > AI attack combo, you use the D AI attack. Does that do more damage than the CD version?
Este jogo é nostálgico nunca deixarei de jogar samurai shodown
is it possible to do fatalities in this game? On the wii version?
And I noticed a couple rounds near the beginning of the video where you might have been able to finish the round immediately if you used the CD version instead of the D version. Sorta beats having to fish for one last poke to kill the opponent at the very end of the round. Just my 2 cents. Good video though.
The only thing that keeps me from saying this is the greatest also is Street Fighter II Turbo and Mortal Kombat II. SAMURAI"S RULE!!!!
samurai shodown is the greatest
Cool. Do you know where I can look them up?
Ukyo is my fav because he has the hooooooooooooe train!!!!! Oh yeah and he kicks ass too.
Hahomaru, Ukyo and Ganjuro... The real samurais...
You're a good player!
the music in this game is fucking awesome!!
YOHOO!!! HAHAH I love Eartquake's voice. so funny
Untouchable
I *always* played Ukyo when I wanted to win. My favorite character is Hanzo, though.
I like when he throws the apple, but he doesn't cut it, it just rolls on the ground
Well done!!!
I can't believe there is someone out there this damn good at this game because I got the collection and I know the makers programed the game to cheat their ass off.LOL!

The little monk was a dead give away.
@EfrainMan
He says, 'Let's play it cool. Battle 1, fight!'
was the referee not a secret character that you could fight against at some point? like jade, smoke or reptile in the MK series before they were playable characters?
I want HD Samurai Showdown like King of fighters. :-o
my childhood
I spent ridiculous money on this when it was in the arcade!
played this for the first time exactly 20 years ago
Yes. Every now and then after a battle, the ref would jump in and start one with the player....and usually get the crap beat outa them.
the hiten mitsurugi style is unstopable
I LOVE YOU UKYO TACHIBANA!
I use to always want to play as the ref, I just thought he would have some banging ass moves.
Hi, thanks for these informations I've been looking for them.

Are Ukyo and Haoumaru Rivals like Ryu and Ken???
I'm aware of that, thank you.

my favorite!!!
rofl @ the ukyo groupies chasing him away XD
I had found out in the meantime but thanks. ;-)
Jajajaja!!
Parecia sorprendente, hasta que Hanzo lanzo el poder y Ukio cayo sobre el sin que se quemara jajaja!! casi lo logras!!
Aunque tengo que aceptar que es buena reseña de un gran juego!!
@JanIsBoy5 This dude is...a...force...of...nature...with...Ukyo.
who is that gray ukyo? is that the spirit after he dies?????
it's already out on XBLA

This brings back memories. Too bad my fav character, Galford got punk'd the way he did.
You must have some nice PC specs since the resolution looks perfect.
lo realizaste con TAS
No but I can recover quick if it gets blocked, I would have taken a hit for sure if I was using CD.
With invincibility tweak and no slayer finishes... even my granny could do it with nicotine
The best game ever!
o nível do jogo só pode estar no fácil.se eu pegasse um cara destes no fliper,eu simplesmente o DESTRUIRIA!
God this game was hard but relly fun.
Tem como lutar 3x na mesma ficha contra kuroko,
basta derrotar o cpu no segundo round com um special quando O TEMPO estiver ABAAIXO DE 20 SEGUNDOS
NA SEXTA luta(6)ou NA OITAVA luta(8)ou NA DECIMA luta(10) .
Tudo testado, mais nao encontrei nada na net que esplique isso descobrir tentando......
ukyo's down fierce has a long ass range
his last name is caffeine, i don't think it's an error
Yes it was, that kuroko is so fucking difficult to beat.
@Azfargh Clearly it is level 4
Level 4 is still hard but, can you do any better?
Show D+ My game Favorite !
It seems like they were both inspired by the same Japanese mythos. The old man in particular seems almost identical in both, ne?
@udin23: I know, but that only happens when you get a perfect. :P
This guy got perfects cuz its at the lowest levels
isn't ukyo sick or something? i don't remember what happened to him
Ukyo is my fav pj+
the best game
Indeed.
someone knows why Ukio was sick?
Heh... Turkeys came out of Earthquake.
They should make a new 2d game unlike Edge of Destiny.
Exzellent!*
what the hell kind of translation error results in a character called nicotine?
wow the game must have been on a very easy setting
i think it's arcade, i see "insert coin" near player 2's life bar
Ukyo era el mejor, gane 4 torneos en arcade con él
Where is the "Victoly?!"
EU JOGAVA ISSO NO FLIPER QUANDO EU TINHA 13, A 17 ANOS ATRAS.
