Samurai Shodown veterans may remember umbrella-wielding swordskid Shizumaru Hisame, known for dominating Samurai Shodown V Special tournaments alongside Kyoshiro, Ukyo, and Kusaregedo. https://youtu.be/yNzVnbdFzig?t=32 Welp, he's back in 2019's Samurai Shodown via a 16th September update. Unlike Kyoshiro however, he's anything but nerfed. Things...

Continuing one of the most fascinating story arcs Tekken 7 has seen in a while, Pakistan swoops in for yet another beastly victory at FV Cup x TWT 2019 in Malaysia.

An interview with Samurai Shodown director Nobuyuki Kuroki (via Kotaku) brought up an interesting point as to why the game's character balance issue is a topic among fighting game fans. He admits to saying he's not a fan of making the power diversity in the game's cast "too flat". Samurai Shodown's current roster features one "overpowered" chara...

A tale of two men giving their all in a game they excel at. Another tale of redemption from South Korea. One would never think these landmark moments would happen one after the other in this year's biggest fighting game tournament. But it did. Dragon Ball Fighter Z: Push It To The Limit Dragon Ball FighterZ's fighting game scene arguably went in ...
As with any game starting out its esports journey, you can't help but feel skeptical for a competitive title you love even if it's the best thing out there. I feel the same way with the 2019 iteration of Samurai Shodown. Sure, its single-player features are basic, but its core fighting mechanic is simple-yet-satisfying, rewarding players with sw...

And since you can't register for the tournament anymore, you may as well watch it on-stream here. This yea...
Samurai Shodown is getting some plays and some online tournament love since its release. So will this game wow fans at EVO 2019 and beyond? Hopefully; the game's basic gameplay and neutral game-oriented fighting mechanics are just as good as the series' best (that's Samurai Shodown II and Samurai Shodown V Special, btw). In the meantime, let's dis...

Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One Genre: 2D weapons-based fighting game In light of the new & rebooted Samurai Shodown's lovely sumi-e aesthetics that mimic classical Japanese paintings of the 17th century, I've decided to just write the majority of the review in a traditional poem structure renowned in that period. Summarized thoughts are at the b...

It's been a while since fighting game fans had a dose of reality with how a 1-on-1 fighting game with swords should play out. As fun as SoulCalibur 6 was, most people would usually die after getting struck by a sword in just two to three hits, not the many combos shown off in Bandai Namco's crown jewel weapons-based fighter. Thankfully SNK is brin...
