Hi All!

I recently had the pleasure of playing Samurai Shodown 2 on cabinet and even though I got my ass beat and couldn’t get past stage 3 I had a great time. That said, the weird feel of the controls on the cabinet and general old fighting game stuff (few tutorials/no movelists) did kinda hinder the experience.

Because of this, I was considering picking up the 2019 version of the game, but I’m worried I won’t enjoy it as much. Is it substantially different from 2? Is the playerbase large/match system good (I’d rather not play a discord fighter)? Is it as neutral and positioning focused as I hear?

For reference, the character I played on the cabinet was Charlotte. My main game is Strive and I play Millia there.

Thanks for the help!

Back in the day, when the Internet was slow as shit, people still rode their dinosaurs to the nearest Blockbuster to rent Terminator. Fighting games didn't receive a "patch" like today's standard.

No, my dear friend. If you owned a copy of Vanilla SF4 and Capcom released Super Street Fighter IV, you had to grab all of your lunch money, go to the nearest game store and ask "one SSFIV, please." You had to pay full price to play the newest patch, try out the new modes, and lab new characters.

What happened if you didn't do that? Well, either you were lucky enough and people still played vanilla SFIV, or everyone moved on to SSFIV and you looked like a fool.

These releases sometimes happened within a year. So buying a new game while your old game sits on a shelf would be, by today's standards, outrageous.

I'd take a season pass in a heartbeat over buying a new game and having it become obsolete in a year or two any day.

But apparently people are angry that developers add a full season of new characters to the base game.

"Why do they cost money?"

Why wouldn't they? The option is either: A: Buy an entire new game B: Buy the season pass C: No new characters at all

I agree that locking stuff behind a paywall like labbing, frame meter, etc. is scummy. Also, adding MTX currencies is predatory and I don't like that either. But the whole pass is always available for purchase, and many games offer single purchases for a character like Arc Sys.

This argument is valid and I respect that. But being mad at the developers for charging money for additional DLC characters is wild. Especially when the base roster is already stacked and full of love. Development isn't cheap, and a business has to generate money somehow if they want to support the game further.

Just my 2 cents on that topic.
