Talk:Samurai Shodown

message: Is Samurai Shodown 6 canon..? It looks negligible, as Ukyo is alive, as well as Gaoh. It seems more like an compulation game than an continuation of the storyline. -ZeroTalk 20:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canon 

message: There appears to be two Samurai Spirits games in Japan released by SNK Playmore for iMode mobile phones... http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/mobile/i-mode/king-apri.php
The first is サムライスピリッツ－魔界輪廻記－ (Samurai Spirits -Makai Rinne Ki-, which means something like "Chronicle of Hell's Endless Cycle of Rebirth"). It appears to be a top-down adventure game, similair to Legend of Zelda. It seems to have been released in late 2005. Looks like it has a storyline. Some screenshots can be found here: http://watch.impress.co.jp/game%2Fdocs/20050704/snk.htm and http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/mobile/ez-brew/brew-apri.php.
The second is 侍魂～四面楚歌～ (Samurai Spirits ~Shimensoka~, which means something like "Surrounded by Enemies on All Sides"), which appears to be a sidescrolling action game, with Haohmaru and Nakororu playable. It appears to have stages with various generic enemies (it shows generic shinobi enemies), with bosses at the end of each. You can gain experience and level up. There is also a final boss of some sort. Judging from the text bubbles, it also has a storyline. It uses the same Japanese logo that the HNG64 games used. Screens at http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/mobile/i-mode/special/shimensoka.php and http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20051121/soka.htm.
No idea if they really bear mentioning. There's also those dating sims and stuff, which I don't think are technically part of the series, but these two seem to be. WtW-Suzaku 09:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "However, lacking grammar and grasp of English first of all became evident in story-telling cutscenes, which rival AYBABTU pages long" makes no sense. I would fix it if I knew what they were trying to say. Recury 19:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Too much opinion

message: "To save programming time, SNK left out the 'w' in the word 'Showdown' so the number of letters in 'Spirits' matched 'Shodown'. This would allow some letters to be changed with little effort instead of having to also add another character."
Adding a character to a string is not at all time consuming. It's actually just as easy as changing a string in MS Word. I haven't played the game yet, but I would guess that the name only appears as a sprite anyway. If time was taken to develop the sprite, why not just draw in a 'w'? "Samurai Shodown" is just typical SNK engrish. nflenz December 6 2007
:It is time-consuming when you have to re-factor some of the program to change the animation. Keep in mind that Neo Geo games have all languages on one cart (basically changing languages based on the “soft DIP” settings and what country the BIOS reports), and that nearly all the Neo Geo’s graphics involve moving tile-based sprites. It’s not a string. -BRPXQZME (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Samurai Shodown Sen

message: If you're going to attempt to salvage that, you really need to trim it down. You need to get rid of the infoboxes. They take up way too much space and they're just unnecessary. If it's important, include it in the prose. You should try to get them all down to two paragraphs (three for the major characters). Remember that the sections are to describe the characters in general. The main game articles should take care of the plot. Also, characters that only appear in a few games should just redirect right to their game of origin. There is no need to list them all. The end result should be between fifty to sixty KB.

replies: text: I like the suggestions but I'd rather they be shared with everyone and not just me. I've had that trimming idea for sometime now and even though there's that wikiBold and size policy, a lot of people may not understand the reason for a trim. It may seem futile but I'd like to repost your suggestions on the article's discussion page because 1) it'll give time for anyone else to notice and see if they really care and 2} to see if anyone else will help with the change. Frankly, it's a little demoralizing to see that most of the newer edits made by other editors have been over the more trivial details. Is this all right with you?
