Also, on a lesser note, its rather bloody to say the may not have focused on the gore aspect like say Mortal Kombat, but it can fill almost as many buckets.Ī total of six games were made for the original Neo-Geo (MVS and AES) system, with Samurai Shodown V Special being the last game to be released for the system. However, for this very reason, its remained mostly in the cult favorite realm as high-speed super-combo-chaining fighters have taken nearly complete prominence. It leads to a more chess-like experience with a focus on hit-an-run tactics that makes play quite unlike most other 2-D fighters. Specifically, thanks to the high damage output of singular moves, the battles here would run either incredibly quick or maddeningly slow. Overall compared to its numerous fighting game brethren, Samurai Shodown stood out from the crowd namely by being more about finesse and less about chaining super combos. Samurai Shodown 2 is also credited with introducing the first 'parry' system. Once filled, this gauge increases the strength of attacks starting with the second game, Samurai Shodown 2, each character also has a super move that empties the gauge after successfully connecting. The first game was the debut of the Weapon Fighter subgenre, and the one of the first fighting games to introduce a super meter, the Rage Gauge.

Shodown is a intentional misspelling of 'showdown', this as reference to the theatrical version of the miniseries Shōgun (NBC, 1980), keeping the first syllalbe (sho) plus the last one from showdown, resulting in SHODOWN. The original Japanese name Samurai Spirits was changed to Samurai Shodown during the western localization by the SNK USA Distribution team, changing 'Spirits' to 'Shodown' so that players could understand the concept instantly. To make this very clear SNK alternatively uses the kanjis 侍魂 in the games' logos, where the second character means tamashī (soul/spirit), making a better reflect of the series' setting.

Despite the name of the series, most of the characters actually are not samurai in the true sense of the word. Samurai Shodown (サムライスピリッツ Samurai Supiritsu in Japan) is a fighting video game franchise created by SNK (previously SNK-Playmore during 2003-2016) that debuted in 1993 for the Neo-Geo MVS arcade board, and then spawned a number of sequels and related media.
