Samurai Shodown

Samurai Shodown is a classic fighting game franchise created by SNK in 1993, celebrated for its unique blend of Japanese samurai culture and precision-based combat mechanics. Unlike many fighters of its era, Samurai Shodown focused on slower, more strategic duels where timing and calculated moves are essential. With a lineup of memorable characters, each wielding unique weapons and fighting styles, the series has evolved over the years, with its 2019 reboot bringing it to modern consoles while preserving the franchise's core appeal.
