@tidus: why not? skills lacking? or can't get it to work? can't find the rom? don't take offense, i'm just curious. @nezumi: huhuhu, maybe they're tired of gaijin poking fun at all the engrish (hence no translations). yeah, A+B takes getting used to. i know, what the hell is up with sankuro and his weirdo friends? i don't get it. it's a pretty game. i sorta miss the slash/bust mode though. i also use genjuro often. i just love it when the cards show up~ hmm, i kinda like the big red demon thing... reminiscent of 'earthquake'. i miss that fat bastard~ when i first fired up ssv in kawaks, i overcame with the same feeling i had when i first saw samurai shodown in the arcades. "holy sh*t, look at the sword fighting game!" that was the best way to blow away 20 bucks~ okay, i'm getting off topic... a wonderful christmas present, that ssv. kudos to the release team. mou, hontoni ureshiiyo~ domo~~~~
