14:56 ...I'm sorry, that just deserves to be spotlighted. He went in for a big meaty attack, and Max's Baiken just _immediately_ went for the Issen, which meant that the screen blacked out and Baiken appeared behind Haohmaru right as Haohmaru struck down. That is just _so damn cool!_
I do really enjoy this game. I love the tension one feels when a single mistake can have the most dire consequences and lead to a HUGE chunk of life lost. I think the more slow paced combat gives one consideration for their plan of action, but sometimes you still mash it out. I guess my only criticisms of this game are the netcode (which I think everyone knows about and has been beaten to death) and the lack of single player features. I know fighting games are built pretty heavily on the multiplayer component, but it's always nice to have something for when the internet goes out. Either way, I'm happy Baiken has brought a heavy interest back to this great game.
it's a shame because Ghosts were nowhere near as good a feature as we were promised, and ther really isn't much besides the Story mode as for the Netcode, at least they managed to do something to improve netplay in the Series X/S release, which is separate from the Xbox One version, as I've been able to play with US and Japanese players consistently, but no one really knows about it, and Max refused to give it a shot on stream, so the game continues to struggle on both offline and online fronts
Samsho is indeed lacking in single player content, but the gameplay is so much fun In terms of the online, the Xbox Series X|S version has way better netcode than the others, so much that competitive japanese players are moving from PS4 to the it
This newer age of fighting games is so much fun with the crazy visuals and guests we get. But man do I miss stuff like M.O.M. in Guilty Gear, or even more recently Abyss mode in BlazBlue. I wish a single player focused mode was just as important as decent netcode in fighting games nowadays.
It's cool seeing Max enjoy and show off the fun of a pure fighting game that's focused on decision-making instead of crazy movement and broken bullcrap offense. As someone who doesn't enjoy most fighting games of the last decade, precisely because they bottleneck players into aggressive play and outright punish blocking, pushing away people like me, I want more games like this but with great netcode.
I never played this game, so every time I looked at Ukyo I thought, "this game looks cool but has HORRIBLE graphics." once he mentioned N64 Ukyo, I was like "AH! that makes sense!" LOL
If you get disarmed as baiken, your best option is to land a jumping kick on the opponent--this gives you a knockdown, so you have a safer opportunity to grab your weapon.
Opening scene to video with Max playing Waifu Baiken is so hard core in samurai shodown then the theme kick in... Oh yeah baby Let's Go. This is definitely the prelude to getting baiken in strive. Little fun fact if you get your opponent down in health enough in the second round and finish them with a heavy attack they will split in half.
The only way to play online decently is through the Series S/X version, but most people don't know about it and, understandably, they can't just afford a brand new console just to play one game online
Ok, I'm gonna say it. Playing on Parsec (at least Samsho) is a good experience for the host, but the guests have unplayable delay anyway. It's easy to notice how everyone played horribly here due to it.
it's a shame that Max refused to give the Xbox Series version a shot when chat told him that it runs better online, which it does as I have witnessed it's still delay and it can have some hiccups but it's far more consistent and way more playable than what the last gen versions are stuck with
When I played Xrd DBFZ and Under Night using Parsec with my friend with him as the host the delay was pretty manageable for me. Idk if it’s just SamSho but I’ve never had a problem using parsec for these games.
The settings affect a lot, I had this same problem, but changing the host resolution to 1280x720 and the band width used to 50mbps as well as playing on window makes it 10 times better.
I love seeing SS doing well, I remember playing the first one and the fifth one being surprised at how tense it is. I play Tekken and DBFZ all the time, but making it so that one hit deals so much damage keeps it super intense and I makes it so much fun to watch and play.
That highlight clip from the beginning is peak "coming in clutch". I love seeing that shit in fighting game livestreams for some reason. Baiken's fun af
I actually had a debate about this, gg cast are too fast and powerful for SS cast, they seriously have to nerf GG characters. Think of it this way, put a gold sol badguy or a johnny on here
@@RicochetForce ram is a supreme spam specialist 🤣😂 ,exactly buddy, also glad they didn't include baikens gold form, that would be too sinister for any SS players and bosses
4:474:58 I'm confused... How come Baiken's Issen Slash did less damage than Ukyo's? 🤔 7:53 That Rage Burst perfectly timed to dodge the Issen looked freaking *AWESOME!* 😳👌
if it's on PC, Parsec really is the way to go with this game, even if it's a mess to get working and can be inconsistent for the player that isn't hosting for console, I wish I knew what SNK did to make the game playable online in the Xbox Series S/X of the game, because being able to play with the US and Japan from southern Mexico is something I never thought I'd be able to do
Goddamn i still love this game. I'm still playing it on the switch but haven't bought the dlc packs yet but i think i will go for the one with Baiken and Amakusa in it
@SNES Nes The games are called Samurai Shodown 64 Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage Samurai Shodown Warriors Rage, in this one Ukyo does not appear There is also a fourth 3D samsho game called Samurai Shodown Sen
If you want to be technical about it, Juri would be Baiken, since Baiken was featured 12 years earlier in the first Guilty Gear (1998). Although she didn't have her goggles until Xrd.
Samsho a really fun game, too bad Max ignored chat telling him to try the Xbox series X|S version, it has better netcode than all the others, including steam, i know since i play it often with people from US and Japan with barely any lag, and i am in Mexico
she's an amputee. Fighting games, to keep animation consistency for actually reading what moves your opponent is doing (for example, seeing if Baiken who is one armed is going for a medium or a heavy), tend to just flip the sprite or model when you turn around. It's a classic case of function over form that just doesn't have a good workaround for some characters.
The closest thing we got is the Series S/X version which is somehow more playable online than the PC and last gen versions. Been playing with US and Japanese players very consistently but SNK hasn't said anything about what they adjusted
SamSho. The thing is, Street Fighter has increasingly gone into combo and mix-up territory with each game. SF2 and the Alpha games were _very_ heavy on neutral thanks to short combos and a lot of pushback.
on PC parsec is the best way to play, but it's also a mess to get working properly between connecting to host and recognizing your gamepad as the other player, it took a while to get this running on stream. The only other reliable way to play online is the Xbox Series X/S version, which is separate from the last gen version, and somehow is far more playable online. I live in southern Mexico and I've been able to play with US and Japanese players with little issue lobbies are still a mess though
on PC, it heavily depends on how close you have people to play with, parsec in this game is kind of a mess as shown in the stream on console, the Series S/X is the only version that's actually playable online, managed to play with US and Japan players from Mexico with little issue, but that would mean getting at least a Series S for the game
Guys, if you care about this game, please don't choose the ugly retro 3D model skins when there's a huge audience of people looking at it for the first time. Save the LOL models for another time.

Its kinda funny how Max forgot what Baiken's weapon flipping super was when his intro literally shows Baiken doing it lmao

Really an anime moment
Baiken fits so well in SamSho that it's crazy.
It's like she's not even a guest character at all, crazy

This newer age of fighting games is so much fun with the crazy visuals and guests we get. But man do I miss stuff like M.O.M. in Guilty Gear, or even more recently Abyss mode in BlazBlue.
I wish a single player focused mode was just as important as decent netcode in fighting games nowadays.
Watching this from Japan at 3:30 am seems appropriate. Thanks insomnia 🤣
Watching this from Malaysia at now 3:07 AM, damn thanks
Same here lol
Man, this game is somehow super tense but also chill and tactical at the same time.
Like a real samurai duel, I love it.
*Hits him with half a bar of Issen
Max: Please be dead
I love hearing Baiken laugh when she rolls to get up, she sounds just giddy about fighting other samurai
Her jumping medium slash is huge. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it sure reaches out and smacks ya. Crouching med. slash is a great poke, too.
12:58, Am I the only one who expect the announcer to yell "DESTROYED!!" at the end of her super? 😆
It's cool seeing Max enjoy and show off the fun of a pure fighting game that's focused on decision-making instead of crazy movement and broken bullcrap offense.
As someone who doesn't enjoy most fighting games of the last decade, precisely because they bottleneck players into aggressive play and outright punish blocking, pushing away people like me, I want more games like this but with great netcode.
It's weird when a one-armed character switches sides
same to Oro in sf5 except has a pet turtle.
Goldlewis glasses
I still don't know how she does to change her arm depending where's she looking at
im so glad with what they did with baiken. they're keeping this game alive
Glad someone explained why Ukyo looked so outdated. I was staring at his hands going? "Wait why do they look so terrible?"
That looks like the old school skin which are pixelated
I never played this game, so every time I looked at Ukyo I thought, "this game looks cool but has HORRIBLE graphics." once he mentioned N64 Ukyo, I was like "AH! that makes sense!" LOL
I wondered the same, like, is his hand a block of tofu?
Yeah, you can also get haohmaru, genjuro, and nakoruru in retro skins, too. I got 'em but never use them.
"Let's go!"
L E T 'S G O !
I like Samsho, its not fast-paced fighting game but so tense
Just like any other samurai fights. I love it.
One mistake, and it can cost your life.
Samsho is such an underrated game, if the game is fun you play it.
Don't care about netcode or loading screens
Hearing Baiken's voice actress, I wish Yamato from One Piece sounds similar to this kind of performance, maybe hire the same voice actress who knows
I know Baiken is liked for sex appeal and all but can we appreciate her overall design and color pallette is just fucking cool as shit?
You know if I didn't know any better, I'd think Baiken were just a SamSho fighter.
dude it took me this game to realize baiken is missing an arm...
love watching max play a more patient fighting game
Ah yeah, more Samurai Showdown! I love watching Max play this.
Nice to see you playing Baiken and enjoying all this beautiful games! :)
Watching Max playing Baiken in Samsho is so much fun.
The strongest woman with one arm versus the strongest man was tuberculosis.
Max: "Let's go!"
intro: "Let's GOoo!!!!"
If you get disarmed as baiken, your best option is to land a jumping kick on the opponent--this gives you a knockdown, so you have a safer opportunity to grab your weapon.
Ok. I didn't realize tatami gaeshi still works after getting disarmed. Jumping kick is still a great option, though.
Phil Swift: THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!!! HAVE A LITTLE MORE!!!
Max truly is a Baiken main.
Hard to believe she was in a different game before this.
Opening scene to video with Max playing Waifu Baiken is so hard core in samurai shodown then the theme kick in... Oh yeah baby Let's Go.
This is definitely the prelude to getting baiken in strive. Little fun fact if you get your opponent down in health enough in the second round and finish them with a heavy attack they will split in half.
Pretty sure everyone knows. But thanks for sharing, anyway.

Love this game so much. I don’t know why I haven’t watched more of it.
Better yet, I don’t know why I haven’t played it for myself-
Netcode... most likely
Play it the game is fun
Also probably because nobody talks about it.
So sad it doesn't have an online mode
The only way to play online decently is through the Series S/X version, but most people don't know about it and, understandably, they can't just afford a brand new console just to play one game online
Samsho taught me patience in fighting games made be better
Talk movies- no captions, Fighting with Baiken - OF COURSE WE WILL GAVE SUBTITLES.
Its Samsho Max... everyone does the damage.
Thats literally the point.
Ok, I'm gonna say it. Playing on Parsec (at least Samsho) is a good experience for the host, but the guests have unplayable delay anyway. It's easy to notice how everyone played horribly here due to it.
it's a shame that Max refused to give the Xbox Series version a shot when chat told him that it runs better online, which it does as I have witnessed
it's still delay and it can have some hiccups but it's far more consistent and way more playable than what the last gen versions are stuck with
Isn't that why they use an Amazon server as a 3rd party to host so that the delay is even on both sides?
@@kholdkhaos64ray11 I don't know, I have played with James Chen and it was unplayable for me, and he didn't have delay on his side.
When I played Xrd DBFZ and Under Night using Parsec with my friend with him as the host the delay was pretty manageable for me. Idk if it’s just SamSho but I’ve never had a problem using parsec for these games.

Waifu time
Indeed
This is a mature oriented game, designed for mature, patient and skilled competitors. Just as enjoyable as a game of shogi on the porch.
Of course she does huge damage, she is a DLC after all
In samsho all characters does major damage tough
They’re all capable of doing heavy damage...🤦🏾♂️
7:55 hold up, I never knew you could do that.
What? The rage explosion?
@@Fusso negating an Issen with rage explosion.
@@darkroseky8117 oh yeah, the rage explosion makes you invincible for a few frames.

tsubami gaeshi vs tatami gaeshi
*S0* much GOD DAMage!
4:47 4:58 I'm confused... How come Baiken's Issen Slash did less damage than Ukyo's? 🤔
7:53 That Rage Burst perfectly timed to dodge the Issen looked freaking *AWESOME!* 😳👌
Baiken used a grab to combo into it. Attacks comboed from a grab do less damage
Also the amount of damage inflicted by Issen is affected by how much rage bar is left.
N64 Ukyo really confused me for a sec
I like how when she flips to the other side, which arm is gone changes. I guess its hard to animate.
They are not going to make two different animations for each attack to accommodate for this. Think about it
Bought the game some days ago and i have to say its one of the best fighting games i've ever played. Yes the online is trash use parsec btw
if it's on PC, Parsec really is the way to go with this game, even if it's a mess to get working and can be inconsistent for the player that isn't hosting
for console, I wish I knew what SNK did to make the game playable online in the Xbox Series S/X of the game, because being able to play with the US and Japan from southern Mexico is something I never thought I'd be able to do
This game would be super hype if it didn't have such horrid netcode...
Ukyo reminds me a lot of Sasaki Kojirou from Fate/stay night
@ ﹰ Damn dude, that's super badass. Thanks for letting me know haha
Goddamn i still love this game. I'm still playing it on the switch but haven't bought the dlc packs yet but i think i will go for the one with Baiken and Amakusa in it
Oooooh man now I really wanna get this game should I get the PS4 version or pc?
I didn't notice that Ukyo was his N64 version until he showed his face
@SNES Nes I'm new to SamSho so I couldn't tell you. I only said it cause Max brought it up in the vid.
@SNES Nes Ahh got it, thanks for letting me know!
@SNES Nes The games are called
Samurai Shodown 64
Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage
Samurai Shodown Warriors Rage, in this one Ukyo does not appear
There is also a fourth 3D samsho game called Samurai Shodown Sen
Of course she does a lot of damage, she has a lot of weight behind her attacks... especially in her chest. :P
Is Baiken Juri Han? I mean it's the exact same face. Even the eye is covered.
If you want to be technical about it, Juri would be Baiken, since Baiken was featured 12 years earlier in the first Guilty Gear (1998).
Although she didn't have her goggles until Xrd.
@@jonasalmstrom4986 True
The biking DLC is out already
I agree
man, the worst part of this is SamSho fights are actually very fun to watch. too bad the netcode sucks.
Samsho a really fun game, too bad Max ignored chat telling him to try the Xbox series X|S version, it has better netcode than all the others, including steam, i know since i play it often with people from US and Japan with barely any lag, and i am in Mexico
Mmmm, baiken can solo this game 🤣, heck give her the gold form
Thats pretty nice that you added the names from parsec into the video. Great matches so fun to watch.
Is this game done or will there be another Season???? been holding out on this....
When the hell are they going to put Manji in this game. I think he would fit this nicely
oh max was that you shitting on the stadia I hear? That makes me rather happy.
I have a question...
Has Baiken both arms? Or why she changes his arm depending where's she looking?
she's an amputee. Fighting games, to keep animation consistency for actually reading what moves your opponent is doing (for example, seeing if Baiken who is one armed is going for a medium or a heavy), tend to just flip the sprite or model when you turn around. It's a classic case of function over form that just doesn't have a good workaround for some characters.
I can never find online matches in this game and when I do its super bad😔 I hope they tackle net code in the future
That person doesnt know how to use Ukyo
Baiken is a zoner
She still has both arms, just look at her when she switcves sides 😅
I really wish this thing has rollback, i would buy and play the living hell out of this game
Yeah, I bought it and didn’t end up playing it much.
The closest thing we got is the Series S/X version which is somehow more playable online than the PC and last gen versions. Been playing with US and Japanese players very consistently but SNK hasn't said anything about what they adjusted
I got 200 hours on the game still gonna play have always got consistent matches
No longer having to work that hard for your damage, huh?
Why Ukyo look like a Ps2 model or something here 2:12
op nvm
Does she only has one arm?
I thought why does ukyo look so low poly? and it's a skin for the classic characters lol
Oh wow I wound up clicking in earlier than I expected
Which one has more neutral? Street Fighter or Samurai Shodown?
SamSho and it's not even close
SamSho.
The thing is, Street Fighter has increasingly gone into combo and mix-up territory with each game.
SF2 and the Alpha games were _very_ heavy on neutral thanks to short combos and a lot of pushback.
When are they adding Vergil?
That's like a retro Ukyo costume or something, right? No fucking way it looks that blocky unintended
It’s a N64 Ukyo I believe
SamSho 64 skin
How is this being played? Like the multiplayer connection
Probably Parsec?
RoyalNickle most likely edit: yes it's said at 10:52
on PC parsec is the best way to play, but it's also a mess to get working properly between connecting to host and recognizing your gamepad as the other player, it took a while to get this running on stream.
The only other reliable way to play online is the Xbox Series X/S version, which is separate from the last gen version, and somehow is far more playable online. I live in southern Mexico and I've been able to play with US and Japanese players with little issue
lobbies are still a mess though
Why does the Ukyo character's graphics look straight out of a ps2 game? Or is it just me?
It's a costume lol
It is his Retro skin.
When did they add baiken to Sam sho
Just recently. She was added as dlc like a week ago.
Okay thanks
Why Ukyo looks so "square-ish", it's like ps2 model.😧
It's a retro 3d skin DLC. I love Nakaruru's as Mamahaha's wings are not connected to the bird, lol
um y does ukyo look like an early ps2 craftwork?
Its a dlc skin ingame
Some characters have "Retro 3d" costumes. That's the skin he was using
Is this game worth getting on PC? I heard online was bad
It is worth it if you have people close to you to play with
@@microblast3700 Nice. I'll consider picking it up on sale then, thank you
