Thats fixed in the MVS version, but in the AES version it's still censored, as in no one gets cut up. SSV IS an improvement over SSIV. No stupid CD combos, ridiculously powerful fierce slashes, annoying flickering background crap. Plus more SSII like play mechanics like dodging, rolling makes it a winner. The only downside to SSV was the gameplay balance. (ie Yoshitora infinite and the qcf+B all day bullshit). I agree, this game should be able to top if not, be better, then SS2 imho. It's that damn fun. I remember when SS2 came out, I was just a little lad, but it was damn fun. And SSV was good, then SSVS, will make it better!
