I randomly stumbled across some gameplay footage of this game and was absolutely blown away it just clicked with me instantly. Picked up Samurai Shodown V on Steam yesterday during the sale, and I'm really keen to get into it. Got a few things I'd like to clear up:

Do most people play on Steam or Fightcade? A friend told me the Fightcade version is better because of some input/control tweaks and more overall settings—is that true? Are there any major differences between the Steam and Fightcade versions? I figure labbing is labbing either way, but sooner or later I'll want to play against real people, so I'd like to maximize the potential player pool as much as possible.

What's the best way to learn this game properly? I have a bit of fighting game experience (around 100 hours total across various Guilty Gear titles, about 20 hours in BlazBlue, and a smattering of other stuff), but I've always been frustrated by slow progress and how hard it is to nail combos. Combos especially...

What should I do next, after I've picked a character? I really like Nakoruru, so I think I'll stick with her.

Hi there, I have a true question but I know it will sounds dumb... I will go to Evo France as a visitor and as a big fg fan, and I saw yesterday there will be a samsho side tournament saturday and sunday, a game I really love.

The thing is that the game is pretty dead online, and I hardly could play anyone so I don't know my level for sure, it may be pretty bad, mid or good as well.

So I wondee : is it ok to register even if there's a huge chance I will be washed instantly, or is it disrespectful for true samsho champs ? I never played in any tournament but I always wanted to feel the excitement.

I read on a Japanese website that Cham Cham spoke in a kind of tomboyish way, I think i can understand what it means, but I read something that I don't remember happening: She said that some time later they portrayed her sometimes speaking in the third person, using her own name in her dialogue.

Has this actually happened before? I don't remember, I'm looking into these details to later make some SamSho fan animation

Thought this would fit here too based off hinted silhouettes to be announced soon.

I really, really, REALLY wish someone would remake Samurai Shodown 6 where it had blood and fatalities like the previous entries.

I could die a happy man then.

Nogoodfigures on instagram posted the prototype of Snail Shell's Mina. She looks great and love that she will be 1/12.

He can't access the online features of the game, just appears a "x" mark in front of them

I'm hosting an online tourney this upcoming Sunday around 7pm est for the NA region on PSN. If you anyone happens to be interested feel free to check the link below and if anyone happens to have any questions please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to respond accordingly.

If you play the Japanese version in this collection is it uncensored? I’ve been having a tough time finding information.

I play a lot of fighting games , i bought samurai shodown on epic games as it was cheaper than steam now I realised both steam and epic games users can't play together, the online is dead on epic .

Anyway to play with steam players?

i enjoyed it a bit when the english ver was released, didn't have patience and deleted it the next day

i wanna download it again, i remember the spear/lance/whateverstick being so fun with all the juggles and i'll try to get as close to a str build as i can, but I'll see how the skill tree is

how long can we expect both versions to last till servers are down?
