SAMURAI SHODOWN VI !?

[✨ ATHANH ✨]

We want it. Please, port it to steam

[Virtua Reality]

Ehhh...i never cared for SS6 at all. I've always seen it as a mess of a game. I'd rather them just give us a collection of SS1-SS6 like the old PS2 collection. And apparently it's supposed to be happening later this year, or so i've heard.

It is, however, its not coming with VI, considering its supposed to be the first 5 SS's and 5 SP. (Even though 5 SP is already out on Steam.)

Why would you want that piece of trash? Easily the worst 2D ss game ever made.

Err. I don't know. I have never played it. I just want them to port it like full old SS collection.

[Outsider]

That explains it.
Collection is coming, and it doesn't include 6 for a very good reason. It's just a bad game and a horrible way to end 2D generation of SS.

I had a lot of fun with the PC version of 6 back in the day. I'd definitely buy another copy were it to be made available. It may not play as well competitively but it looked better and played well enough. Too bad to hear it isn't a part of the planned releases.

That is not the reason, that's your reason. Its not included cause its an Atomiswave arcade game. (Which since had a PS2 version, then the same version ported to the Anthology and PS4 Stand-Alone release.) And its not a Neo-Geo game, which clearly the collection is meant for.

Thank you.

I would enjoy it a lot, since it is the best SS to me (and I played all of them for years). More characters, better graphics, better system, by far the best gameplay and the only one without a broken engine. It's not dark, I give you that, but it's stupid to care only for that. Me and my friends had more fun with it than with any other SS (though IV and VSp are very fun too).

Don't be quick to believe everyone. Just try it on a PS2, PS3, PS4 or even PCSX2 and draw your own conclusions.

Samsho 6 was disappointing.
It had huge rooster of every character (excluding NG64 cast) and then some aaaand then some more joke characters, and then some more hidden characters. It has alot of content. It has grooves and all the stuff. Nes systems new moves.

BBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

NO BLOOD, dismemberment gone.
ARENAS, VOICEOVERS and music was just bad.
New engine and changes to gameplay made game feel NOT like Samsho (less damage, almost no chip damage, weird backstabs, et c.)
WHY DO WE NEED like 7 grooves?
Balance was worse.
Oh look random items is back! Eeeeeveryone was asking that.

Its like you see a dream of your life and it suddenly turns into nightmare.

Samsho 6 was a parody of the entire series, and a bad one at that.
Huge roster doesn't mean anything, when it's polluted by the characters that don't belong to the game, neither aesthetically nor thematically.
It felt like a kid's first mugen assembly.

SS6 does everything better than the previous games, except it isn't dark nor gory. Andrew, Earthquake, Genan, Wan Fu, Sieger, Kuroko, all of them are really fun to play. The engine is 1000 times more solid than any other SS, nothing mugen about it. Better speed, consistent hitboxes, better command input, and so on. Everything done better.
Take SS5SP for example, corner an opponent, conect a sweep and immediately jump forward and you'll see an invisible force push you back. Also, on every other SS you have disappearing sprites, broken sprites, sometimes unresponsive commands, stops during slowdowns and many other classic "mugen" bugs. I love those games, but I'm fair, not blind.
SS6 is balanced, except for Kim Ung Che, that is a half made character. True that 3 hits won't kill an opponent, but 4 will. Also, the arrange voices are awesome (Genjuro never sounded better, without that annoying teenager voice change).
Nostalgic people tend to praise the defects of old things and deny the improvements of new ones. Gore doesn't compensate for everything.
Just take my advice. Test the game, play with friends and decide for yourself. If it's a fun gameplay you want, you won't be disappointed. You may love it or hate it, but at least it's your judgement.

Srsly. Nobody thinks that. Literally anyone I ever asked in FGC thinks SS6 was subpar. Some defend it for things it has done good but no one so adamantly defending it as you.
Also please at least be truthful. When I played SS with people who actually compete everyone said that tiers in SS6 has huge gaps. And if it sounds anecdotal consider this: SS6 has more characters and modes but was tested less than SSVSP. So please don't just lie about SS6.

I would like to see SS6 rebuilded to be real definitive 2D SamSho game. But its too late for that. SS6 was never good, and now we have 3D SS game which will pick up the series.

"but was tested less than SSVSP" precisely the reason of the said gaps. FGC revers SSII even for its sprites, which are horrible in comparison with III, IV, V or VI. Many players talk BS about games where they're basically amateurs and didn't spend any time on, just disliked at first glance. No fair judgement, just nostalgy.

To prove such BS happens all the time, this is a tournament in 2016 (I guess 10 years are exploit enough, eh? Or maybe nobody knew how to play fighting games in 2016...).

Now, let's see... Intense battle, impossible to reach with the old NG engine? Check.
Bugs, breaks and imbalance everywhere... I guess not. So sorry.

I'll repeat ATHANH. Play the game, don't believe others right away.
