SamSho 2019 - Casual Match & Team Battle Achievement (Steam)

I figured i'd post here, i'm wanting to try and grab the Team Battle & Casual match achievement.

Searching for them has (unsurprisingly) been fruitless.

Alternatively, message me if you're interested in doing it or arranging for it - cheers!

Why was Samurai Showdown 2 for a very long-time the prime competitive game for the series with the most ongoing use for tournaments until the 2019 reboot? Especially when you consider how broken Ukyo is?

The series as a whole is not known for being a tournament viable series but I do notice that the 2nd game has far more online discussions and media exposure as far as the competitive fighting game scene goes. Enough that from stuff I seen over the years I can safely say until the recent 2019 game, SS2 was pretty much the most active tournament game in the entire franchise.

To the point that whenever 2 gets ported properly to the current new consoles and not simply as an emulated rom or part of a compilation, it always gets online multiplayer attached to it in contrast to the other past games in the series that gets genuine ports to recent gaming systems.

Anecdotally in my state Samurai Shodown 2 is pretty much the get-go game used in local tournaments if they even bother to feature the series at all. For the past decades no other game in the series except for 2019 has been used in fighting game contests where I live. And it still is featured routinely (though 2019 is pretty much now the norm that every tournament in my state features it). At least other friends I have who live across North America also tell me the same, that 2 is the default game in the series used before 2019 for decades and even still is used by a few organizations alongside 2019.

I ask why is this the case? Considering how god broken Ukyo is, why is Samurai Shodown 2 seen as the best competitive game int he series among the FGC before the 2019 reboot?

Which releases of the older games have a training mode?

I'm looking into getting into Samurai Shodown. Even bought the NeoGeo Collection on PS4, but as it's known, there's no training mode.

So I'm looking into emulation or buying these games in another release that has the training mode.

I've seen that the PSP Anthology does have it. Do you remember any other releases?

Older titles

Hello, I was wondering if there is an older Samsho that people still play in fightcade or something like that, a similar case to 3rd Strike per se.

I can't afford the 2019 version for the time being and want to try out the series see what's up.

Thanks.

Samurai Shodown RPG Text box under graphics? (using neocd redux on wii)

As title says, the game works and all but text boxes appearing like underneath graphic tiles. Makes it impossible to read, hence play...

Any idea as to why it does this? Any mean to fix it?

Using NeoCd Redux on Wii. Might try another way on Ps3.

Bottom reason I use these consoles: for CRT Tv use (as this game just looks fantastic on these).

Let's say that the characters from SamSho III and IV were somehow characters in Samurai Shodown II (even though the games they debuted in were released after II). What do you think their character stories in the game would be like?

Confused on some lore and canon in the games.

I've been getting mixed responses on Samsho Sen and Samsho VI on being canon? The wiki says one thing, people say the other. Also is the RPG and the visual novel Nakoruru considered canon as well? Appreciate the help!
