I remember watching people play this game at the arcade back in the day, i remained there in awe mesmerized at the graphics and sound of this game. Good Times. The only other time i've ever felt the same was at the same arcade when they brought it Killer Instinct.
This, Fatal Fury 1, Metal Slug 1-4, Neo Turf Masters and few other Neo-Geo games including KOF '94, '95, '97, '98, 2002 & 2003 would always my favorite games that I love the play and have a special place in my heart as a SNK Fan
Omar Gad The characters will be 3D models but on a 2D plain, i don't think SNK is that stupid to try that again. I hope it looks something like GG Xrd but in their own style like Xuan Dou Zhi Wang it even has Terry & Benimaru in it i guess it inspired SNK to do something similar, can't wait for the new KoF & SamSho they're working on.
Now that's definitely my favorite arcade game of all time. "A samurai fears not death, struggles to triumph over evil, and lives for one purpose: Destroy all enemies!" Love that part! ❤️💞💕😄🇯🇵
There were plenty of Smash fans who crapped on Terry just because he wasn’t somebody they wanted, but thankfully he earned his respect among the admirable Smash fans and got many people into Fatal Fury, KoF, SamSho, and more. They’re still definitely underrated when compared to Capcom, Bandai Namco, or NRS, but they remain a fantastic company with fantastic ideas.
One of my favorite of snk, yet it hard as fuck to adapt the first time, yet one of the funniest and greatest vs i ever see of that generation, the fact of being killed or ko depending if you finished someone with your blade or punch/kick is a really good touch, great game
Bad ass game. So bloody. So much fun. I hate the fact that the Super Nintendo version of Samurai Showdown does't even let you see your enemy get cut in half like in this one.
Out of all the games in the series, the first one has the best presentation: good sound, good english, interesting characters. It went downhill from there, but hope they return to the original and add in the new gameplay features found in the newer games. I have the SNES version, and it has more interesting dialogue, but mostly the same. Seems like SNK added some features from SS2. Thanks for sharing.
man this fuckin brings me back...the arcade machine I used to play this on had the sound for some reason maxed out, it sounded so epic I would always have a crowd of people watching...awesome game 14:48 SHARUROTTO
@WizardOfWor Probably not longer than some of the other playthroughs we can see on cubex55's channel. E.g. the longplay of Blue Dragon (360 game) takes over 20 hours. So, I can't see why we couldn't have a full playthrough of the fighting games. Shouldn't take more than 6-8 hours for Samurai Shodown 1. And most of these players are enthusiasts, too. Thus there isn't a lack of motivation, either.
If several people are saying that this was the first weapon-based fighter inspired by Capcom's Street Fighter II, then say hi to Namco's Knuckle Heads.
@ WoozleWuzzle You might consider using the arcade version with an emulator. These games run pretty smooth on older hardware. If you're worried about the lack of a pad, buy an adapter that allows plugging Playstation2 pads into PCs (usually via USB). They are quite cheap (5-10 dollars or euros) and work really well (and there is no better pad for PCs...at that price). Alternatively, try changing your PS2's country setting to something else. Not sure if that works, though.
Of course, I always like games that take place in Feudal Japan (this and Samurai Warriors as well). Though this game is quite good (and unique in it's own right for the time). But I don't understand why characters in this game didn't make it in The King of Fighters games. Haomaru is a perfect opponent for Terry Bogard.
Because KoF's storyline takes place in contemporary times...they would've had to have stretched player's suspension of disbelief to shoehorn in SS characters.
Some characters could not be cut in half, like Tamtam and Kyroshiro. For the others, finishing the opponent in midair with a solid medium or fierce strike is usually enough. A few times they've cut in half on the ground too.
Fuck this brings back a lot of memories. Smashing nickels into Quarters size. Eating Flaming Hot Doritos while waiting my turn with quarters in the screen of the kids that were next.. Thank you for this upload. Now I have to go find this game.
Not played this game since mid-90's and noticed some blatant racism and very subtle racism (perhaps why this never fully took off past the Neo-Geo outside of die-hard fans like myself). Amakusa ("'a mock usa") is an anglo who's weapon appears to be an atom and one of his attacks is a mushroom cloud-forming blast:) then there's the Fat biker from Arizona with a projectile fart attack, the Mayan warrior who's land is simply labeled "Green Hell" (amazon/Brazil). Funny what u don't notice haha
Yep. And that whole Nakoruru in KoF 2000 doesn't count since she's an extra striker and E.S aren't part of the main story and are just there for fan service.

It's 2013 and I just realized Galford and Hanzo are palette swaps.
Well done, SNK. Well done.
one of the coolest games ever they seriously need to bring this back.
They will, snk playmore is doing SS7 hope it wont be in 3d

It's back 😍
They do
Now that's definitely my favorite arcade game of all time.
"A samurai fears not death, struggles to triumph over evil, and lives for one purpose:
Destroy all enemies!"
Love that part! ❤️💞💕😄🇯🇵
nel, suena mejor en japones...
A Samurai Fears Nothing,Struggles To Fear Over Evil And Live For Purpose To Destroy All Enemies!
I loved this game. And I still do. It's a classic. One of SNK's best games.
Until Nintendo came along and ruined it when they hired Takara to release it on Super NES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
"No, I'm not related to that guy in Fatal Fury!"
Heh, well played, SNK! :)
''No, I'm not related to that guy in Fatal Fury!''
"I awake from 100 years of sleep to kick some butt!"
Subtle...
SNK doesn't get nearly as much respect as it should
There were plenty of Smash fans who crapped on Terry just because he wasn’t somebody they wanted, but thankfully he earned his respect among the admirable Smash fans and got many people into Fatal Fury, KoF, SamSho, and more.

To call me "Awesome" is an understatement
I've always loved the opening to this game. Very epic.
Finally! Someone who uses the upward flying sword attack! So very effective
TO CALL ME "AWESOME", IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT
Forever love this game to death
Remember playing at Pizza Hut back in the day
Did they have arcade consoles in American restaurants?
Cosmic King yes, back in the day.
I played this at a chinese buffet, I was always mesmerized by the Sprites as a kid.
Excellent gameplay! Very few have managed to get the "perfect" ending of this game.
Thanks for the video!

Love the fact that Mai makes a quick guest appearance. I wonder if there is a connection with her and the main character.
Bad ass game. So bloody. So much fun. I hate the fact that the Super Nintendo version of Samurai Showdown does't even let you see your enemy get cut in half like in this one.
16:42 "NO, I'M NOT RELATED TO THAT GUY IN FATAL FURY!"
Talk about breaking the "Fourth Wall." 😐
The first and the best one.
The 2 was better IMO
V, V Special, and the upcoming V Perfect would beg to differ. 🤪
But the first and second are definitely very close.
Part 3 is my favorite
Fuck no. They don't even have the combo system yet and Hanzo, the best looking character doesn't even have his awesome big hakama pants yet either.
I remember watching this in the arcade but never had any money to play it lol.
ps. The first level sounds like Ryu's theme.
Samurai Shodown. Good Franchise, convoluted storyline. Nuff said.
Yep and the storyline’s timeline is confusing.
@@DestinyZX1 It starts with Samurai Shodown V, then I, then III, then IV, then II.
@@jakebello7988 yep and it ended with the hyper neo geo Samsho games
@@DestinyZX1 So, 64 and Warrior's Rage.
Joguei pela primeira vez em 94, na época eu tinha 14 anos! Fiquei fascinado 🤗
29:53-30:03 Mai Shiranui?!!!!!!
“Ipponme! Shoubu!” That’s English for “Round 1! Fight!”
"No, I'm not related to that guy in Fatal Fury!"
Did Jubei just broke the 4th wall?!
A very difficult game...
soldierskereo9 As in button mashers avoided this like the plague , because even sometimes masters go owned once in a while.
Earthquake had the best music
The soundtrack is so kick ass, especially Wan-Fu's stage. It in my Top 3
Congraturation!!
The game that put SNK on the map....
@slapshot68 "Ippon" means "one full point". It's a term used in martial arts contests.
I so love this game. Thanks for the upload cubex55.
Holy shit, this game suffers from the same typo that's at the end of the Ghostbusters NES game: "Congraturation!!"
My favorite SNK games back in the days KOEGETSUZAN
Thanks for the upload :)
this takes me back,used to main gen an who is actually mai's ancestor
"CONGRATURATION!!"
Best sounds ever
I hope they keep most of craziness intact. I don't want PC culture to stop them from doing it.
These old school fighting games are better than 2days
"No. I'm not related to that guy in Fatal Fury!"
I was about to say the player had spelled "Showdown" wrong, but then noticed the title in the vid, so I guess it's meant to be like that!

It's a good thing that there is going to be a PS4 version of this game next year.
Best gameplay I've seen
3:39 *ASS QUAKE*
Kiryu Ga Gotoku LOL.
So many memories playing this at my local corner store in the 90s
I can almost smell the mall arcade by watching this video.
The game series that introduced me to the world of famous Japanese warriors of history and the makai (demon realm)
It took me FOREVER to figure out those red things Ukyo throws at you are apples. An apple a day keeps the tuberculosis away, I guess.
2:30 the iconic Haohmaru win pose. i found it so amusing back in 1993
may shiranui at the end! o was forgot that
Is her ancester
In Haohmaru's ending a character from Fatal Fury 2 it's Mai Shiranui
Samurai shodown is back with 2023 year in april on 26
@WizardOfWor

I'm a samurai, a rebel guy, We must part. Be brave Oshizu.
Precious memories
Is Amakusa male or female? I have no clue, but I assume Amakusa is a male, correct?
KokushiMusou19H He's a guy. In OVA version They screwed him up.
This won Electronic Gaming Monthly's game of the year award in 93'
Looks really good. But who agrees it was the very best game of 93?
Fantastic game.
Playing on level 1 difficulty has no samurai honor!
Yep, do Level 4 at least, or in my case, I do Level 8(hardest).
Samurai shodown is coming to tokyo city
The ending credit music beat is sick cool music
Jubei is not related to that guy in Fatal Fury. He not only sees into other games but into the future as well.
Que dice cuando gana y se escucha showari haomaru?
@Kijinn:
True, but doing playthrough of all characters will take VERY, very long.
If several people are saying that this was the first weapon-based fighter inspired by Capcom's Street Fighter II, then say hi to Namco's Knuckle Heads.
@ WoozleWuzzle

Not sure if that works, though.
@Kijinn
no that would be a "superlongplay"
Samurai showdown 7 with coming to tokyo city
Must be InuYasha's time period.
Samurai shodown everyday is coming to tokyo city
F***king LOVE the announcer!!
Of course, I always like games that take place in Feudal Japan (this and Samurai Warriors as well). Though this game is quite good (and unique in it's own right for the time). But I don't understand why characters in this game didn't make it in The King of Fighters games. Haomaru is a perfect opponent for Terry Bogard.
Samurai shodown is game over
Samurai shodown is back in 2027
They cut that out, on that version. This is the true Arcade version
Because KoF's storyline takes place in contemporary times...they would've had to have stretched player's suspension of disbelief to shoehorn in SS characters.
Wow! Very well noticed...
Some characters could not be cut in half, like Tamtam and Kyroshiro. For the others, finishing the opponent in midair with a solid medium or fierce strike is usually enough. A few times they've cut in half on the ground too.
Fuck this brings back a lot of memories. Smashing nickels into Quarters size. Eating Flaming Hot Doritos while waiting my turn with quarters in the screen of the kids that were next.. Thank you for this upload. Now I have to go find this game.
Is congratulations the hardest word to spell in old school video games? 😂

I'm guessing you're offended by a lot of things. You sure have issues!
What have you been smoking?
Did Jubei break the fourth wall?
That waz da gutz on 18:54 with da dogg getting caught in da tornado.
my friends put a lot of quarters in this game
amakusa is also a city in japan
Yep. And that whole Nakoruru in KoF 2000 doesn't count since she's an extra striker and E.S aren't part of the main story and are just there for fan service.
With KOF XIV out, will they make Samurai Shodown VII? They're going to make an official anime series in the future BTW!
They are doing a KoF anime now, all CGI, based on KoF 94 oddly enough.
10:32 i love this theme
10:32
pero que wen Full HD 4K papa!
bajale a tu calidad que casi me rompes el cel
Recorde mi niñez y me sorprendio ver a mai
