Recently an arcade near me got a copy of Samurai Shodown V Special which means I finally got a chance to play it. Great game, but I did have a few questions about the characters, how I should be playing the game and so on.

Yunfei seems like a cool character but one that will take awhile to learn. Does anyone have any advice on how to properly play him?

The Mu no Kyouchi seems like a cool idea but, again, when I tried it out I wasn't really sure what the hell I was doing. Are there particular moves or combos I should be exploiting to make the most of my nothingness? Specifically, I'm interested in what Ukyo can do with that technique since he's my default character although I would be interested in hearing about any other strats for other characters that are good at using this mode.

Gedo is even more nauseating in-game than the screen grabs made him out to be. [That's not a question, but I felt the need to share that impression.]

Any other general impressions of the game?

Is it really SS0S or SS0 ? Yunfei changes a lot (he's far weaker in SS0S) so...

Ukyô is strong. I can't go in depth with him, but be careful of his new dash B; nasty, hard to use but it's possible to jump in your opponent's back and begin some C button bashing. It's risky and you're wide open if you're blocked, but...
I think he can followup in mid air, down far B + middle zansôfumikomi + follow up.
Ukyô only has 3 moves that hit down, crouch C, forward C, dash C. the rest can be blocked normaly.
He is a calm character, so you should probably use the kyôchi. More on this another day.

The tsubame gaeshi is his best weapon. raising jump + tsubame, back dash + tsubame gaeshi, the anti air tsubame, etc.

Man,my arcade sucks.

I'm still excited at the prospect that this might come to America for home systems(that was mentioned in that one Yahoo link,right?)

Mizuki [in all her awkward, ineffective glory] and the other bosses were playable so I'm pretty sure it was the English language version of SSOS.

I noticed Ukyo's new dash B move and while I thought it was cool I didn't realize it had the potential to set up even more damage. Thanks for the advice. Now I need to pull out my old SS games and practice pulling off the tsubame gaeshi no matter what the occasion; my swallow slicing is a bit rusty.

Not to shamelessly plug.

I'd say learn 2369+A swallow slice and play with that inside your running guessing game. But yeah there's some good stuff on there in relation to SS0 that might be of help.
