Shiki makes mention of Yuga in SNK vs. Capcom, and chances are both her and Assquake will be in this game (sprite re-use, of course) so I think there's a good chance he'll be the boss in this one... maybe they'll explain what he had to do with the Devil Ambrosia from SS 1 and 2. Perhaps he IS Ambrosia, too?
Don't forget Kibagami!
Hmmm.. If they re-use these 3, I wonder how they will make it a prequel.. We don't know Shiki's age, but she may not be old enough to be in a "5 years ago" prequel with the same sprite (and a "2 mounth ago" prequel is... hmmm...).
For the boss... I really don't like Yuga, I think SNK never ever topped the first two bosses. I hope they will have a really good announcer, like in the second game... When you arrived to the boss, the fight didn't begin, you barely see what she looks like, yet you hear "Rashôjin Mizuki!" and you know you've already lost the battle. Raaaaah... That was pure coolness. She and Amakusashirô could eat 10 Ignizs and 6 Rugals for breakfeast every day.

| "Oh geez! Where do I begin?" , posted Thu 17 Jul 12:07
Man! It has been too long. It has been 7 looooong years since a non-handheld 2D Samurai Spirits game arrived.
Plenty of q's arise. Who's Yuki Enterprise? What will the system be like? Is the guy on the front page the new hero? Who's doing the art? Why did it take so long to have a game like this? How is the story like, a prequel or somewhere between certain games?
As for the name itself, everyone is into the Zero spirit. Street Fighter, Macross, this, everyone. Hee! As long as I get six attacks and my Silent Hill again, I'm a happy camper.
"I would like to see 2D versions of the SS Warriors Rage characters! (game was horrible, but the designs were great)."
Do I want that to happen? Yes. Will it be a certainty? No. You have to ask if timeline will be on our side.
"US name: Samurai Shodown ALPHA."
Ha ha ha! It's going to be Samurai Shodown Zero.
"Will we see Bust-ism, Slash-ism, and VICTOLY-ism?"
Hee hee! I'm guessing that there will be a new system. Hopefully, it won't be as complex and irritating as the last non-handheld 2D Samurai Spirits game. Will we see "Victoly" again? That, I don't hold the answer to.
"This has potential of being...Game Breaking Homerun!"
Wah ha ha! It does!
"Don't listen to Gamefaq's game manufacturer lists, they think that Taito made Lady Stalker."
It's GameFAQs. You know that they'll make mistakes.
"The art looks somewhat Watsuki-ish...
Oh, please don't let it be Watsuki...
But looking at what's written, looks like there'll be 24 playable characters.
Still, this isn't the greatest naming sense..."
I'm all for Rurouni Kenshin and Watsuki Nobuhiro-sensei, but yeah, it can't be him. If anything, he's probably working on his next series to offset that one failure I heard about. Gun Blaze West was the name if I recall.
24 characters, huh? Hmmmm. With the way I see it, I think the roster will certainly have:
- The guy you see on the page
- The starting roster of the first Samurai Spirits game
13 down, 11 to go. (I did not mention Amakusa if you recall.) So, who gets the final 11 slots?
- Nicotine
- Genjuro
- Gaira (Don't ask why he could be in it.)
- Shiki (Hopefully)
The rest are new characters. I didn't put in Rimururu yet because we still don't if it really is a prequel or some other factor. I'm guessing that there will be one new bishounen, a hyper energetic girl, another big guy, two standard guys, an evil guy like Genjuro and some freak.
Will I be right? I don't know. Let's wait for the game and see.

Yes! I located the "24 warriors gathering into battle" or something like that... (24 default chara? this is even more than the whole PS1 game cast ! this is huge for a SS game! I think we can say farwell to the Shura/Rasetsu thingie, then.
Another number puzzle me, 178x, the year the game takes place. Nako was 18 in 1789, in ShinSS, but it could as well be a real prequel in 1780 with only a few veterants, Haomaru, Genjurô and such (and they would have to create many fan service girls) or a prequel a few mounth before ShinSS... Anyways, it's before the SS64 games (but Shiki will be there somehow).
This goes nowhere, 12 days to wait... RAaaaah!
...
Isn't this like the 4th snk 2D game of the year, after Matrimelee, Chaos and before KOF 2003? who said 2D was dead and this year sucked?

I REALLY hope they keep the music in the same style it was before, as I'm not too sure SNK Playmore's post KOF '01 music team is capable of such greatness.
KoF '01/'02 "music" is Eolith's fault. I've found the Matrimelee music at least unique, if not entertaining. I wouldn't worry about it.

Did people overall enjoy SS2 or SS4 better? Were they at all unbalanced?
If your question is which did people prefer between the two, you'll get different answers. Personally, I prefer 2, but there are a bunch of folks out there who love 4 (and a few who prefer 3 over both). Both games are very unbalanced (Ukyo + Charlotte own 2... 4 is complicated because of all the easy infinites, but Slash Sogetsu and Tam Tam are the Sagat/Blanka of the game).
quote:
I love SS4 and I always thought its combo system was unique, but I don't know how balanced/broken it is because I've never played any REAL people =)
Oh, it's plenty broken. Slash Sogetsu raged water spouts are pure uncut BS, Tam Tam's jab alone beats like half the cast. Several characters have brain-dead easy infinites thanks to the CD dial-a-combo. The lists goes on and on. Even so, it's still a beautiful game aesthetically and it's difficult for me to truly dislike a SS game. (except 3... grrrrrr)

But... SS2 has Cham-Cham =)
SS4 PSX has her too.

The image on the official site has been changed a bit ; it now has japanese characters for the samurai, tamashii and zero part, much, much better.
Then, the date is readable, 1786, so a few years before the first game. Haomaru would be 23, Nako 15, Rimu 12... I guess we can't count on Amakusa, Mizuki or the other bosses to be in the game (new boss, then?)
