History

Drawn steel replaces empty-handed strikes in SAMURAI SHODOWN II, the weapons duel SNK put in Neo Geo cabinets. A recoil after a blocked slash is long enough for Nakoruru's bird to set up the next cut.

Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Genjuro settle scores with clashes, recoils, and a rage gauge that bursts into a furious stance. Spacing decides the first cut, because a blade's reach is the whole neutral game.

The arcade original is from 1994, and the motion console's Virtual Console later sold that cabinet again. Stages and the sudden-death tension of a tiny life bar stay as they were.
