what's wft?
and how do you do the burst thing that you need to activate for issen attack?
Weapon Flipping Technique, it's the super you can do after the rage meter fills up. It's called that because it flips the opponent's weapon (disarms) on contact.
Rage Explosion is done via A+B+C, same input as the Issen.
I think that the Switch & the PC versions will have something good in exchange for being released later.
oh so the special super you listed is the 1 time per game super?
The AI ghosts thing is a stroke of genius. It might just be the thing that pushes me to pick this up at launch.
The thing I'm confused with is that the damage Issen does seems to vary, what's the deciding factor?
Health.
The lower your health the longer the rage meter will be after Rage Explosion and the more damage Issen will do.
So technically Issen is base on how much rage meter you have after Rage Explosion? Like the longer you let the meter burn out the less your Issen does?
Nope, it's based on how much health you have.
Like here you can see that Wu has plenty of rage meter left but Issen still does big damage because she has low health:

That's going to ruin somebody's day.
Issen and the special super will result in many tears and much salt.
i'm pretty sure issen damage is based on the gauge, not your life
that's what the commentator said on the babamikado video
combo proration probably affects it as well, like if you do it after a normal throw i'm quite sure it counts as a combo and damage will be reduced
Wow ive been asking for this Season Pass method since they started, reward early adopters instead of punishing them, top stuff.
This game was already day 1 for me but damn its good to have the real SNK back

It's cool and yeah LB had the more traditional SNK motions.
Yeah throw reduces the damage of all supers by a lot, which is why the weapon flipping super is probably the best super to get out of it.
As for damage on the Issen based on meter, that would be interesting. Though Nak seems to be doing solid damage here even though she has little rage meter.
That being said If it is based on how much rage meter you have left then health would still play a factor since you need low health to get a longer rage meter after rage explosion. If you activate rage explosion at high health then the rage meter is a lot shorter.

Has a physical Xbox One copy been confirmed? I really hope they don't go Digital only on the One as is seemingly the norm.
If they're planning on releasing the physical game with the art book they've announced before, that might just be the version I get.
Thanks amigos. Watched this video and it seems pretty cool on the lack of combos and stuff. Hope specials are mostly quarter circles and not half circles though.
European CE's looking NICE.
Interesting how much respect they're putting on Yumi Saji's name now! I don't feel like this generally happens with newer artist all that often. Heck, it's not like it happened that much with Ogura of Shinkiro for quite a while. Good for her!

Sucks that Switch and steam users will have to wait more. Hopefully the season pass offer will be for them too.
Was considering buying this later this year but the free season pass convinced me otherwise. More games should do this.
Why should it? Look at all the various other options on offer in Japan:
The have pre-order bonuses with different retailers, discounts on digital stores, The Neo Geo Mini SE varieties, and even a commemorative bottle of actual Spirits to go along with your Samurai that's up on their online shop.
Back for KOF XIII, "The King of Soundtracks" Multi-disk OST was a freebie released with pre-order in the west only. Later on, a version of it was released as a separate purchase in Japan. The Artbook that came with XIV was exclusive to the US as well, before being released as a separate expanded product in JP later. Not to mention the digital version of said book that later came with PC pre-order.
They haven't really played favorites too often; different markets and publishers just get different stuff.
Thanks, it's up now, seems my regional store was running late putting it up.
The various other options available are "neat" and little else. Plus, the spirits/soundtrack are reflected in the package price. 2,000-yen season pass for free trumps all of that (though half of that cost would be mitigated with a preorder).
Whatever, will probably still buy it (season pass and all) but the "no free season pass" for Japanese players has me feeling a bit salty.
Is there any kind of gamepad that replicates the NGPC stick? Going back to it for Samurai Shodown 2 this week felt so much better than playing the "true" game on XB1 with a fightpad (hori).
To quote the words of SNK president Koichi Toyama:
That statement doesn't explain 100% how the system works during that first week, so if I was you, I would pre-order a day before release to avoid any complications, just in case.
As for the low interest in the game, I think a lot of it is riding on how it performs at EVO. It has quite a lot going for it, the gameplay promotes high stakes gameplay, where the tables can turn in a single move, which makes it very suspenseful and exciting to watch. It also has a very deliberate movement system, that slower speed makes it easier for the casual spectator to understand what's going on... If it gets enough eyes on it, I'm sure it has the potential to be pretty popular.
We can't forget that Samurai Shodown isn't as famous as Street Fighter or even The King of Fighters, but the fans who do know the series will very likely buy it, even if it's just for nostalgia's sake. But I do have trust in SNK, mainly for the fact of them taking their recently announced and unproven new fighting game to the floor of EVO 2019 as one of the main events. That takes a ton of courage, so they must have a lot of faith in the quality of Samurai Shodown.
At the very least, I think the timing for releasing this game is just perfect. Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima are putting samurais and ninjas back in the spotlight, and with Street Fighter V being in a bit of a slump at the moment, there could be no better time for Samurai Shodown to make a comeback than now.
Pre-ordering isn't necessary. You have from the 25th (launch day) till 30th to get it for free. This goes for both physical and digital copies.
