Although 1993's Samurai Shodown wasn't the first weapons-based fighter in a post-Street Fighter II landscape, it was one of the more successful entries in the genre. Many appreciated the game's variable cadence which skillfully emulated the tempo of an actual swordfight, shifting pace from methodical to expeditious. Others marveled at the game's ability to frame the on-screen action with a variable zoom- a mechanic cultivated and enriched since its inception in 1993's Art of Fighting.
GPT: "Ever since I first played games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat 3 back on the SNES I've considered fighters my favorite genre. Playing just about everything from Bloody Road to Primal Rage I definitely could tell the difference between what made good and bad fighting games. Luckily in today's gaming market developers can't cash in on the popularity of blockbuster games and be lazy; only the seasoned veterans truly remain amidst this genre. Today I'm taking a look back at some of the worst fighting game series to ever exist."
Rumble Roses gets a bad rep because of the character design. The fighting is actually good.
I loved Rumble Roses although I wish they could have had a code to unlock all the characters or go the super street fighter route and have everyone available when you load the disc
I thought it was weird for Super Street Fighter to do that. It almost felt like there wasn't a reason to play...
Fighter Maker would be better if they put alot of work into it, I think if we see it using all over the power of PS3.
Well I think it would be alot better then the last two, the 2nd one wasn't to bad but outfits and characters for you to fight were really limited.
Samurai Shodown is a great classic from SNK, originally released for the NEO GEO arcade to our home consoles, do Samurai Shodown Sen live up to the expectations?
from 2D to 3D and with a different gameplay style this game leaves fans with mixed feelings.
