SamSho 2019 is the lowest price on the PlayStation Store I've ever seen until this Friday night; as well as all three season passes. I already own two of them.

I intend to buy this before Friday night, but I don't know if it's become one of the many Discord fighters or if the online multiplayer is 100% dead on PlayStation.

I swear I got opponent fast,that's surprising...(And of course they are higher rank than me)

This game is on sale rn on the switch and thinking of buying it,is it fun? I've never played any samurai showdown game is it worth it? (I love fighting games)

Trying to find match but not happening. Is it better at weekend? Is it cross platform ?

The only fighting game ive played is GGST but considering my love for samurai/ninja themes,this game looks like a 20/10 game. The problem is that i dont think ill find any new players besides people on discord or something like that..Is that really the case? And if it is,will i be able to enjoy story/arcade mods alone?

Greetings, I was playing Samurai Shodown (2019) on my Xbox One S and I noticed that the character Ukyo has been giving some little crashes in the game when he finishes with his specials and his supers, is this normal?

$7.49 for SS that’s 85% off in the Nintendo store

I’m not the biggest fan of discord tbh and most people I do meet tend to hop from person to person just for a quick match but will someone actually play this game with me☠️ I’m on playstation 4 and if anybody wants to make a room i’d love to game:3

My buddy’s dad (all of us being gamer nerds) recommended me samurai showdown but in about a month of trying to find a game i’ve legit found 1 guy and he was from japan and was like 17 on the leaderboards. I was just wondering if theres anything I can do or change to make my chances for finding a game actually better or is it like a community type fighting game where theres a circle of the same people who continuously play?

Anyone willing? Cannot find someone for this randomly.

Thanks!

Does anyone here play the 2019 edition? Add me on PSN...Commodore69X

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?

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?
