I agree, but that would be difficult to have this crossover as they belong to different companies. However, until this game becomes a reality, my proposal is Samsho vs. Last Blade, both belonging to SNK.

@@Tungdil_01 What AN excelent idea

Well, Haohmaru did show up in SC6. It's up to whether Namco is willing to invest or not.

Is the Best with samsho II

IV had a great feel to it.

@@gumdeo It has the greatest ambience in fighting games, hands down.

I like it because it has a lot of the mechanics samsho 4 did which is my favorite game in the series

😮😮

Swap 3 with 5s and you have the same exact rank as mine

Literally the best... No lie..

@@chubbyrichard8438 it’s my favorite for sure

I agree 💯 samsho4 is the best hands down

@@Scorpion24 I really love everything about the game

IV also has the best cut-scenes.

What's the difference between SamSho 5, SamSho 5 Special, and SamSho 5 Perfect? Which one is the best version?

@Tungdil_01 The original Samsho V had a big roster but unfortunately had some balance issues. This early version is the most tame of the 3 as it has a mild amount of blood and lacks the inclusion of the 4 playable bosses and fatalities that would be introduced in the future updated versions. The arcade intro is set during a feudal Japanese war zone. Samsho V Special fixed the balance issues. The 4 final bosses: Amakusa, Mizuki, Gaoh, and Zankuro returned as playable fighters. Added more blood and introduced fatalities to the game in which each fighter gets their own fatality. The arcade intro is set along the shores of a Japanese coast complete with a row of Torii (Shinto gates) and Mt. Fuji in the background. Samsho V Perfect (the rarest of the 3) added cutscenes and endings to the arcade ladder. However, the game tones down on the fatalities. Other than those differences, it's exactly the same as Samsho V Special. Its arcade intro is a Japanese castle in a mountain surrounded by mist. The best version is a tie between Samurai Shodown V Special and Perfect. As either one, you'll be fine with. Luckily, Samurai Shodown V Special is the most common entry that's playable on every console as it costs only $7.99, and the emulated port by Code Mystecs runs perfectly on a Windows 10 laptop. However, if you want to play Samurai Shodown V Perfect. There's only 2 ways to play the game. 1 is to get Samurai Shodown: the NEO GEO Collection, and 2 is to find playable on an EXA Arcadia arcade cabinet.

@@elmono6299 thank you so much for this complete answer!

Both amazing games personally I think 4 is the best

What's the difference between SamSho 5, SamSho 5 Special, and SamSho 5 Perfect? Which one is the best version?

I agree 5 having an actual story(at least the Japan arcade and Xbox release does) plus having yumeji and sankuro as exclusive mid bosses makes it feels different to me

⁠@@Tungdil_015 has two non playable exclusive mid boss characters in sankuro and yumeji and poppy (galfords dog) as a hidden playable character. It also has an actual story to it with cutscenes in between some fights but this was removed in the arcade North American release for whatever reason and only in the Japan arcade release or the Xbox release of the game. Samurai shodown 5 special doesn’t have the things I mentioned for 5 but it added the boss characters from samsho 1-4 in Amakusa, Zankuro and Mizuki. The music and some stages in the game also changed, the aesthetics are a bit darker and some gameplay elements were tweaked like your concentration gauge being a lot more bigger than 5 which allows you to enter the state of nothingness much earlier (This is the mechanic where if you loose one round and then the next round your meter becomes blue you can activate the state of nothingness to make your opponent move very slow and you can attack them with either Chain combos or you can do a fatal flash/issen to them). The biggest addition to 5 special is the game has much more gore to it, probably the most from any samsho game and it has fatalities that you can do to end your opponent as well. It’s definitely a big upgrade to 5 in my opinion which is why it’s played most competitively. 5 perfect as far as I can tell is mostly the same as 5 special except it added some story scene stuff but toned down the fatalities and some of the gore like blood coming out when you finish an opponent by slicing them in half. It’s not not really a big enough update to 5 special to consider it a different game most people would consider it a downgrade much than an update.

@@stevesteve0521 Right! V’s story is my favorite in the series; Yumeji’s story arc is a particular highlight of that game’s story to me and I think Sankuro is one of the funniest characters in the franchise. Liu Yunfei’s sacrifice at the end of the game is also one of the most memorable moments in the series to me.

@@stevesteve0521 great explanation! The only thing I’d add is that V had some balancing issues with its character roster, which V Special fixed for the most part (Kusaregedo is still quite over powered in V Special imo).

But as he said ,it's very very hard. I mean the AI is crazy and drives you angry .

It's a blast to play.
