#Samurai Showdown V Special

[lostplay]

Game 13: Samurai Shodown V Special

It's hard to pin down what makes V Special better than it's original counterpart. There is a lot of stages cut, a few characters cut, but ultimately everything here feels fresher or brighter or simply more alive than it's previous counterpart. What it lacks from the original Shodown V, it effectively delivers in smoother gameplay, and a slightly more interesting arcade experience. The difference between the two games even shows up at the very beginning and ending of their respective games. With the character selection screen being more interesting, and a far more engaging credits compared to a simply rolling of names. This all kinda accumulates to a better time playing this version of V compared to the original.

Arcade mode has effectively gutted out the story mode for these characters, but it replaced it with an interesting alternative which is effectively a boss rush of the past boss characters if you get the right requirements. Each match's speed and character balance also helps make for not only an easier time during arcade mode, but also makes it feel like a more enjoyable, well paced ride. Each character has something to use and options to play with on top of a bunch of mechanics and attacks that are able to decisively end the match. V Special basically just gives each character / player enough options to make it feel like a hard earned victory without other characters feeling overpowered or wasting each others time. If you failed to make the right moves and used the wrong power than you are punished for it properly. While I can't say this is an exclusive feeling in Samurai Shodown, V Special certainly makes it feel far easier to use these optional power ups compared to the rest of the series.

Basically Samurai Shodown V Special is just a polished product compared to it's original counterpart. It's odd in the sense that on paper the original certainly seems better. More characters and stages traditionally make for a better game, but with the way the changes V Special makes it out to be the better experience. V Special's roster, the balancing of characters, and the more vibrant stages it has; gives off a product that is better than the originals newly added dull stages and unbalanced character additions. Their certainly is enough reason to look at Samurai Shodown V, but V Special simply outshines it in ways that matter more to a fighting game audience.

Some Stray Worldbuilding Elements

Someone pointed out to me recently that a lot of movie fights are constrained by what will fit in a camera frame. This leads to, among other things, often misleading or minimal visual examples of the proper use of long-distance weapons. So if you plan to have proper use of arrow volleys or tank battles, make sure you read up on their historical use in warfare. The wonderful thing about a book is we can make the view as wide as we like. Take advantage of it!

If you want a good visual of a pretty realistic, desperate life-or-death struggle between two characters at melee range, though, you might be interested in checking this movie out. 

Sabu and Ichi's Detective Stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojrHZqBFX1E

In Edo, a group of masked samurai storms a seafood wholesaler and commits murder, but the deaths have only begun....

Information I’ve found says was broadcast in 1981, as part of Fuji Television’s “Jidai Geki Special”. The plot was based on Shotaro Ishimori’s popular comic, specifically the story “One Leg of Darkness”.

It’s the last about 15 minutes that have the showdown between Sabu as an okappiki and a mad samurai. It’s long; I’m told it’s brutal. I personally didn’t have that reaction, when you’re fighting for your life you do what you have to and there was relatively little blood or injury compared to a lot of modern movies. But it does show someone having to take minutes to wear an opponent down long enough that the enemy finally collapses. Writers, take note!

Another few bits of interest. Want to see an example of a smart monster luring prey?

A green heron who figured out how to use bait to lure a fish!

Or real examples of what cavalry horses can do, and would know how to deal with?

Cossack trick riding. I was particularly impressed that they could get horses to jump the fluttering banners. And slashing bottles at head height, spraying water on horse and rider? Yes, a cavalry horse would need to be used to that, think about it....

100 game kumite: mission complete

I streamed 100 different fighting games, finishing up last night. Please see the "hundred game kumite" tag on my blog for all the vods.

What did I learn?

Fighting games are really fun. Still. It’s a joy to fight other people, it’s a joy to stream and have friends come through.

Most of the people who came through, to be totally honest, were my IRL friends, and that was a great emotional boost. I’ve been lonely since quarantine started and I wish I could see them. There were some local FGC people who supported the endeavor too, either by encouraging me or showing up in the stream. Also a few random Twitch folks came through just due to the game I was streaming at the time.

Remarkably few Tumblr folks. Step it up, Tumblr folks :-O

My lovely wife was really supportive of the project <3 <3 She tried being a co-commentator one evening, but she decided to just make that a one-time thing.

Surprises finding online matches -- some games more active than you’d think, others less so

Some games that I would have thought would have active online scenes, I couldn’t find any matches! The new Samurai Shodown game, for example -- when I tried at least, no matches! Dead Or Alive 6 seemed dead; no good. Fighting EX Layer was empty when I tried it. Several more games too.

Games that I was happily surprised to get online matches: Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Tekken 6, Vampire Savior, Mortal Kombat 2 and UMK3 (all on PS3!) -- and Dead Or Alive 5 LR on PS4, it was still going down! Despite its successor not having any matches going. And the Steam version of Melty.

Also the “online arcade” mode in Super Turbo (in the SF Anniversary Collection) was quite active, and that was a bunch of fun.

Where did I mess up?

I had a few snafus getting some games going, either in general (input issues with Steam games, one time when I forgot my laptop was running Folding@Home), or particularly with my two-monitor stream setup. I could have done a better job making sure the games for the night were configured correctly before starting the stream.

Also, I probably did too many versions of Street Fighter II.

I FORGOT GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES, WHAT THE HECK. Somehow I never wrote it down in the planning spreadsheet?? That would have been way better than, say, yet another version of SFII, or Gang Beasts, which is a fine game, but turns out not to have any single-player content.

What do we want to do in the future as a result of this?

Keep playing fighting games.

This series really renewed my love for KOF, Virtua Fighter, Darkstalkers and Killer Instinct; I want to git gud at a KOF game, VF5:FS, Vampire Savior, and KI 2013. Also I would really love to understand Fighting Vipers more. That game is super charming.

Aaaahhhhh maaaaan. And Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2. Maybe I’ll dig into GG Strive.

There are so many good fighting games in the world.

PR: Nintendo Download for 4/25/19

Well guys and gals, this is a good week for the Nintendo Download. Partly due to the usual fare, but also because a particularly great indie finally is out this week. Besides that, there’s also a special event for Mario Tennis Aces and more to enjoy. So let’s get started with a cubical hero that’s finally making his debut on Nintendo Switch.

I was amazed how fun the original BOXBOYgame was, and…

Allen Rambles About Fighting Games

I... honestly don’t know where to begin with this Rambling. I’ve been trying to think of a decent intro for over a week now and I just can’t be bothered to write a hook.

I guess I should start with myself.

Hello folks, I am Allen X. I do opinion pieces on the internet that I call Ramblings, write silly fanfictions about cute girls punching things, attempt to write original fictions about cute girls punching things, and very occasionally write fan lyrics to video game OSTs. And today’s Rambling is about fighting games and my current thoughts on them as of late. 

I’m a huge fan of fighting games, been playing them since Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur 3, the latter being one of my favorite 3D fighting games period. After that I got into Blazblue around the time Continuum Shift came out, and I’ve played every game in that series since, becoming a massive fan of Air-Dashing fighting games. 

I’m not a huge fan of ranked listings, but here’s a quick list of my 5 favorite fighting games just so you all understand where I’m coming from. So in no particular order:

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown

Blazblue Chronophantasma

Soul Calibur 3

Dead or Alive 5

Under Night In-Birth Exe Latest

So with that list I hope you understand I’ve played a lot of fighting games in my time. That list is just a fraction of the games I’ve played over these last ten years.

And folks, I don’t know how to feel about modern fighting games at the moment. 

I think the current games out are fine, but as a fan of fighting games since the early 2000s they just don’t scratch a certain itch. I couldn’t tell you what it was, but nowadays fighting games just feel very bare-bones. Most of them only have an online mode, a training, maybe a combo/mission mode to help learn combos, and then maybe an arcade/story, with that story mode being bare in some way, shape, or form. It’s just feels empty nowadays.

But... I think I should give an example before going further. And I think the best game that shows my... conflicting feelings is Blazblue Cross Tag Battle. 

And where to begin with Cross Tag? This was a game that literally came out of my dreams and into reality. An actual pipe dream that I and many other fans of Arc System Works games jokingly wished for. Under Knight In-Birth, Persona 4 Arena, Blazblue, all in one game. It sounded like the wildest of wild dreams.

And then this trailer dropped. And I lost my shit. I think everyone lost their shit. 

I screamed.

I jumped out of my chair.

I nearly broke my damn tablet in shock seeing this trailer. 

And Ruby Rose was being added? Something that Mori and Ishiwatari had only teased about in passing? 

I... I needed some air after watching that trailer.

I needed a drink and some food. 

I’m pretty sure I lost three pounds from that trailer, and I’m barely 115 pounds, I need to keep all the weight I can put on. I was so excited to play that game after that. A crossover of three of the best 2D fighters in the 2010s and one of the most popular niche IPs of the 2010s, all together in one game, with unique character interactions. And an English Dub. Finally, a chance to hear Patrick Seitz, Cristina Vee, David Vincent, and more back where they should had been in Central Fiction. It was just... a magical time to be a fighting game fan.

And then I actually played the game... and boy did I have opinions on it.

I did a Rambling about this game last year after playing a bit of the beta. My overall thoughts, aside from my gloating, were that I felt it was lacking in complexity, but had potential to maintain my attention if they could meet a few of my expectations. And not much of my opinion has changed since then. If anything, I honestly wish I got off my butt and wrote more about this game while it was still fresh in my mind. 

But, back to my original point, this game is a good starting point in a lot of my conflicting feelings about fighting games nowadays, and I think I should start by discussing...

My Expectations

Last year I had three main expectations for Cross Tag. Those being a story mode that was more entertaining than insightful, free DLC of some kind, and a fulfilling single player experience. These are the three main things I want in most fighting games, as I’m not into the competitive seen outside from online get-togethers nor do I have a positive opinion of the competitive side of the FGC to begin with. So, how did Cross Tag stack up?

Well, I can happily say that at least two out of three isn’t bad. 

But I should probably break this down a little, as again, these three points are what I look for in most fighting games.

The Story Mode

Much like I hoped, the story modes were relatively simple and didn’t get too deep into everyone’s lore and backstory, which is honestly for the best. I’m a fan of Blazblue’s story, I really am, but I wouldn’t wish for that encyclopedia of lore known as the Blazblue world-building and the mini encyclopedia of lore that is Under Night and RWBY world-building mashed together. A fan of all these series I am, but that would had been much.

That said, the story modes were great. I was cackling at almost every interaction. Ragna squaring up to Kanji and Wald, Ruby being an absolute weeaboo when she confuses Yosuke and Yukiko for a ninja and geisha respectively, Ragna being surrounded by all the robo-girls save for Labrys, Hyde just... dealing with everything in his story mode, Weiss and Orie teaming up to take down Ragna in the name of justice. The list goes on, but the point remains. I loved a lot of this mode, my only real wish being that it was a little longer and didn’t focus solely on the main character of each series. I was also hoping for something a little more... grounded. Well, not something so ridiculous as some weird AI/Goddess controlling everything behind the scenes and forcing everyone to fight anyway. I know with the Cross Tag 2.0 update coming there’ll be a new story mode, and I hope it’s a little more inclusive than this one. I’m also hoping for a bit more replayability too. This story mode was fine, but I’d like to see something I could come back to and want to come back to. 

To give an example, I think Continuum Shift Extend had the best story mode of any fighting on pure replay value. There are at least 20 didn’t character perspectives in that mode with alternate endings and gag endings included. Each character has a decent arc and narrative, they occasionally run into other named characters and have their timelines mix, and there’s even a retelling of the previous game with some added bits thrown in. I know I said Chronophantasma was my favorite of the Blazblue series, but Continuum Shift had the most love put into it. I’m not expecting something of that extent in Cross Tag 2.0, but something at least trying to reach that would be great.

Ah, but moving on.

Free DLC

This one’s a real technicality and I’m tempted to not count it, but for the degenerates like me that bought the original season pass, we also got to enjoy Seth, Heart, Teddie, and Naoto K. for free. That’s... not exactly what I was hoping for in my old post, but we did get something out of it. In the future I hope that Cross Tag will follow something a little closer to how Samurai Shodown handled their season passes, letting early adopters download it for free on the first day or week before charging as a reward for those giving it a chance... or at least running the the store page quick enough. 

In all seriousness, I do hope for something to the effect of the reason of Season 2′s characters being either cheap or free for the first few days before charging whatever retail price they set it to. It’d just give some incentive to stay up to date on the game and encourage people to actively play it.

But sadly, two out of three meant I didn’t get the main thing I wanted, which was...

A Good Single Player Experience 

I had mentioned I wanted something akin to Chronophantasma’s Abyss Mode or Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’s Golden Arena Mode. Something with a leveling system or that had some replay value to it for the single player folks. Sadly, I didn’t get that. Like many current fighting games, Cross Tag is rather bare-bones with the content. There’s not even a basic arcade mode, a staple in every ASW fighting game. I’m... disappointed by that. And this isn’t the only game either. I believe it took Street Fighter V an entire season to get an arcade mode. Tekken 7, a series known for its wild mini games, barely had anything beyond a story mode, a very bare bones arcade mode, and a treasure mode that... just didn’t feel fun to play. This is from a series where the last numbered series had an expansive 3D-esque brawler mode for it’s story mode with special items and costumes that gave some really wild effects. Soul Calibur 3 had a mini Fire Emblem-esque strategy game with Swords and Soul Mode where you got to create a character with a pretty original moveset all things considered, several movesets in fact. But sadly... a lot of that is starting to go away.

I just feel like with the push toward competitive play a lot of fighting games aren’t bothering to keep in mind casual players, and that saddens me. I don’t play too many fighting games for the sake of getting better, but that’s where we’re going. I want to say that’s bad for business, but Street Fighter is pushing out season 4 and EVO is still one of the biggest and most marketable events in the FGC. Maybe I’m just being an old man yelling at those darned kids and their bare-bones gaming content. I’m willing to accept my 25-years-old mindset is a bit old fashioned in the year of 2019 where time and technology is blitzing by and those in our mid-to-late twenties who have been playing games since the 90s are seen as the old men in the gaming community, but I just had to get my thoughts out. ...

...

...

God, I miss the line breaks Tumblr use to have, makes these closing statements a lot easier.

Anyway folks, with all that said I think I’m going to call it here. For those expecting the Weekly Update it’s been a real slow week, so not much to report. Consider this Rambling my update. I’ve finally gotten through the first chapter of Arifureta and honestly that’s all I need to read to get an idea on the Rambling I want to do for that series. I bought 6 volumes of Tokyo Ghoul:re against my better judgement, so expect me to talk about that next week. And slowly but sure I’m getting some notes together for the Taboo Tattoo Rambling. So look forward to all that and I’ll see you all later.
