TT Poll #210: Samurai Shodown

It’s that time of the week again folks. Don’t forget to cast your votes! #TT210


 

Samurai Shodown (called Samurai Spirits in Japan) is the first game in the same-named fighting game series by SNK. Rather than focusing upon modern hand-to-hand combat like many fighting games, Samurai Shodown is set in feudal era Japan and primarily features weapon-based combat. The plot of the game is centered on historical and fictional warriors converging on the chaos caused by the dark god, Ambrosia.

 

First appearing on the Neo Geo arcade and home console platforms in 1993, the original Samurai Shodown game has gone on to be released on over a dozen other platforms since. Numerous sequel games, manga adaptations, anime OVAs, a motion picture, and even a collectible card game have all been released for the highly popular brand.

 

Over the course of the many games in the franchise, there have been over 80 playable characters in the Samurai Shodown series. Arguably the most well-known character, Haohmaru, was even chosen to be a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and a playable guest character as part of the Soulcalibur VI DLC!

 

And so, for today's 210th Temptation Thursdays poll, we shall focus on Haohmaru, one of the flagship characters of Samurai Shodown.
