Anyone happen to pick it up?

I've heard they have crappy PSX-era loading times (even with Now Loading screens), but they have an unlockable remixed soundtrack (!!!)

So I guess as Iggy would say, "Why, Imoya? As if crappy controls aren't enough, now you had to ruin the game with load times!"

I still look forward to playing it though, I'm hoping an XBox port will fare better.

I don't see the point in getting it when Special will be out in a couple months... sometimes SNKP's business decisions give me a headache... or it could be a tumor... meh.

I suppose the big question remains - what about censorship?

EDIT: Wait, it's SSZS that this whole censorship thing was about, wasn't it? Nevermind then.

Hey guys, I just checked out the Neo-arcadia.com forums, and I just found out that the Japanese PS2 version of KOF 2003 has a release date: October 28th.
And there will be a Japanese PS2 version of Samurai Spirits Zero Special on the way; if that POS of a sequel has a remixed ST but fucking long loading, I only hope that the true sequel has the one thing it truly fucking deserves to have from the word go: the Fatalities.Catch you later.
PS It's a good thing the dream match ripoff is a NoWave.It definitely won't be the same with The King Of Fighters 2004.

I don't care for the loadings. If the controls are good this time, I won't have anything to say.

Note to self : seek another nickname for Nw, or stop talking about it.

EDIT : the game has red blood, and the controls seem good. The only problem of the game is just : "why no SS0S?"
I just have an idea. Since in Japan they won't sell both games at the same time and in a pack, SNKP could fear player wouldn't buy the first game and only the second, so they.... ahahahaha, no, no way.
OR IS IT ? (dun dun duuuuuuuun)

EDIT : anyone has an official page where "Samurai Shodown 5 Special will be released in the US" is clearly written ? It's nothing, I just want to begin a riot at Shitaraba...

Good lord, you need to stop and listen to yourself sometime. It's getting harder to try and read your posts with the blatant bashing and pointless swearing in them.

The loading is NOT PS1 bad. It's only kinda bad when you start the game up, but once you get going it's no more than 5 seconds at MOST between fights. The loading to OPEN THE SCORE SCREEN is sort of upsetting though.
Somehow, I didn't remember the colors being so abrasively bright...it just looks kinda ugly. (not that the game was ever pretty)

But anyway, the arrange soundtrack is default, not unlockable and it just sounds a bit "cleaner". Hmmm...oh, and the control is fine, though the button layout is irregular.

What's with the constant stupid cussing? You're seriously pissing me off.

On topic: I would imagine that there will be a Japanese release of the SS0S PS2 soon since the US version has been confirmed. I'm just waiting for the dual pack myself.

I would imagine part of the arranged soundtrack would come from said CDs... well, the old tracks, maybe.

I honestly don't know myself why I'm such a pain in the ass, not just for myself, because of all with the worthless shit I write when I give out info, but especially to everyone.I express all this pessimism I feel by nothing more than cursing, and I know it's no good, especially when I mention it more than once or all the time.
The truth is I'm nothing more than a lone wolf, living my life one day at a time, surviving on nothing than videogames and the Net, always proving I'm Number One in the only thing I do and I do best.
And surely, this is nothing but a dead end.
I sincerely take every criticism thrown at me as a sign to learn to be a better communicative person, and although I regularly jump the gun on everything, it's because I spit out an honest but immoral opinion.I hope I can learn to not say any more nonsense, and if I do, I'll try my utmost to limit it as much as possible.I apologize for my erratic behaviour and let's just simply move on and think about the future more serenely together.Later.

Word of advice -> When you are in a not so friendly environment saying some lines send the talk in the wrong direction... Saying things like 'I'm the one' 'I'm no. 1' or 'I'm absolutely right' really don't make the point when you are showing a stance on the matter.

For the record and in topic; does the game feature any other small extras?? practice, anything??? I should be getting it soon XD

I haven't spent a lot of time with it, given that Isuka just came out, *scream* but other than practice mode, I haven't found any extras. I'm trying to think if there's something on the options mode...but at any rate, if there IS something, it's quite insignificant. It may be possible to unlock things, but it's unlikely.
The loading screens are nice, though...there are 2-3 versions of each piece of artwork and they use both the old (SSV) and new (Special) artworks. The Special ones are soooo much cooler.

You're right man, the whole lone wolf thing certainly didn't make a point at all, in fact I only made it up as a futile attempt to give out an example of who I am.
Anyway, thanks for the tip man.Later.

Yumeji and Sankurô seem to have a story. And Yumeji has a bukitobashi.
That's it.
Oh, and they're both playable of course.

EDIT : small update : Rasetsumaru is not decapitated anymore in his ending. Yumeji(?) issen him, then he falls. She (?) leaves, then he wakes up and says what he says in the AC version while taking his victory pose.
Shobo----n.

Hugh! That makes a sad monkey..... If anyone is wondering in a interview SNK US said that 'some RPG' parts of the game where going to be cut... That translate as no storyline for anyone in the US version (just like the US arcade version)...

And well.... FINALLY I got to play the game (arcade bootleg version though) ¬_¬

You know, it's funny; when I played the machine was set in japanese and I couldn't recognize the names of the characters in the kanjis.... But when I saw the 'dance' I remembered a certain someone and I just knew who to pic.

Nothing like beating up someone with a character that says 'see, I'm a god'.

When you consider this -> currently the only fluid that I want in my system is whisky then you'll surely realize that I should drop from the 'hi scores' tables soon...

And to make this post useful I'll tell you that soon I should be kicking in with some Samurai Spirits Zero Faq goodness ;P
