Hey, question since I have a few fighting game mutuals, anyone here savvy with Samurai Showdown? I've currently been playing through SNKs fighting game library and am struggling to get into this one the most out of all I've played. Curious if anyone has any tips for it (I've gotten pretty decent at their other fighting games I think and it seems a shame to give up on one of their big series)

I'll probably make a blog post at some point detailing my exploration of SNKs library and my thoughts on each game (I don't think I'm fighting game savvy enough to do full reviews of these games that are suitably in depth). Main thing I've learnt is that I LOVE king of fighters especially
It's a very footsie based fighter, unlike Kof you won't be getting in your opponents face but wait for them to make a mistake and punish. If you look up matches you will commonly see people just sitting and waiting for an opening. A wayyyyy more defensive game compared to the rest of the SNK fighters. Unless you plan to play ALL of them(I'm guessing u are), I recommend 2019 or V Special.
This is a cool guide for 2019 but the basics apply to most samsho games: https://t.ly/hyQV5
@the-game-hoard I have been trying to play through everything like you guessed (mainly for full story context). I kind of feel like I'm cheesing the AI any time I play slowly and defensively and wait for punish opportunities. Is it normal for most fights to end in a time out, or does that mean I'm not being active enough? I also swear the CPU does more damage than me and I'm not sure why other than the pow metre
