An expanded game of Samurai Shodown V Special
Samurai Shodown V Perfect is the 2nd upgraded version of Samurai Shodown V (following Samurai Shodown V Special), the 13th main installment of the Samurai Shodown series and the ninth game of the official chronology (if considered the non-canonical games). It's an exclusive game released only for the Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection. The game was originally supposed to be the final Neo Geo game but was never previously officially released

Quase a mesma coisa do 5 Special com algumas pequenas diferenças e algumas coisas a mais no modo arcade, mantém a mesma qualidade gráfica e gameplay.
Judging Samurai Shodown V is a hassle because they are effectively 3 games that are exactly the same with minor differences that make 2 of them better than the first one, and largely it just comes down to game feel. V Perfect has everything that Special had as well as a story mode, kinda, and some more tweaks and balances of the cast. While I do think that V Perfect is a better version of V Special and V Special is a better version of V; I don't think V Perfect is (ironically) that special.
I think the major problem V Perfect has is that it can only improve so much on itself. Literally a game that feels like it cooked itself for too long that just feels like it should have been it's own game. Perhaps V Perfect's saving grace is simply that it's not packaged as a standalone game as it's paired with the Neo Geo Collection of Samurai Shodown rather than being sold separately. Like don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying V Perfect is a bad game, it's just how much can you really improve V Special before you just have a new game on your hands? V Perfect does have some nice text story to character endings, and some slightly better presentation tho. The problem is that, that's about it. V Perfect was made after Samurai Shodown VI, and thus has to work with the constrictions that come with that. While I do think you can replace V Special with V Perfect; really it just comes down to how much time you have had with either game. If V Special feels like it's version 1.5 of Samurai Shodown V then I'd say V Perfect is a 1.6 version.
Largely your enjoyment of V Perfect is the novelty of it. For those newer to the series, V Perfect is perhaps the best version to play Samurai Shodown V, and literally the latest version of said game. For those that had more time with V Special, I'm sure V Perfect just feels like a glorified patch that does some nice things for lore, but ultimately doesn't really make it worth the same amount of time you put in with V Special. Don't want it to seem like I'm not grateful for this game's existence though as going from the cancelled final game for Neo Geo to being a neat little bonus in the Neo Geo Collection is pretty great. Just don't expect a big jump in quality compared to it's previous versions.

ok
Aha! A secret bonus Neo Geo game! Not gonna lie, I'm not good enough at fighting games to see the difference between this game and samurai shodown 5 special in terms of gameplay. However, this game has a bit more cutscenes, so honestly the single player experience here is probably better than samsho 5 special. At the end of the day, samsho 5 is still samsho 5. Game is neat, samsho still isn't really my thing personally but I respect it. I think this game functions better for me for the novelty of it being a secret "lost" neo geo game that wasn't released in its time, and in that aspect it's cool.
