Samurai Shodown on the SNES is a beautiful and brutal classic fighter. Its focus on heavy hits and disarming your opponent leads to tense, slow-paced duels that feel distinctly different from other games of the era. It boasts gorgeous visuals, memorable characters, and music that still gets stuck in my head. That said, the difficulty is absolutely punishing, and the small roster means you'll likely master your favorite characters quickly.
This was alright not a top 10 fighting game though.
meh tro lent
Cool memorable roster however really unbalanced and really does not do much to distinguish itself from other fighting games.
I wonder if this was the first depiction of bifurcation in video games? Representation matters.
Slower than its rivals, but the atmosphere and feeling are nearly excellent
