I'm not crazy about the blood on the arcade rom though. I guess I just prefer my video game violence to be more cartoony.

Isn't it funny, it's almost as bad as Mortal Kombat....but it's animated so it didn't get as much attention. I kinda like it though. It always felt like a video game version of Ninja Scroll with all the blood spraying and getting chopped in half.

I just have to say.....Samurai Showdown II is my favorite fighter ever (2nd is to JoJo's Bizzare Adventure) and compared to the first game.....I just don't have anywhere to as close to as much fun. I like SS I, but it's got sluggish controls, a limited amount of characters, and nowhere near as much personality. I think SS I was a good stepping stone to an amazing fighter. props for making me play I again to realize how good II is.

Samurai Showdown 2 is amazing. Just got into SNK fighters not long ago. The Last Blade for me is the greatest 2D fighting game of all time. Looking forward to the new KOF.

Actually, against a good player this is a fantastic way to get killed. Charlotte's recovery off that move is slow. A good player will punish you badly after a failed Splash Fount. I've had Hanzo players cut of my damn feet so gosh darn many times after this it's sick.

Well, yeah, that goes without saying. I was mentioning it in regards to fighting the CPU.

Sorry, I'm a bit jaded. I rarely ever played against the CPU. When I played this back in high school it was in a school game room, and seniors didn't have to wait until the end of the day to play. So I quite often was playing against fellow students, and there was always a queue for SamSho. Versus is truly the way to play this game.

Anybody have a Neo4all AES image of SamSho? I'm trying to emulate it but my PC pad is entirely inadequate to perform special moves and the like.

Do you have the neogeo bios ROM?

In MAMEUI32 where does the bios go? with the roms?

I think so, yeah. With the ROMs.
