I heard Buttasuperb sing this game's praises on another section of the forum. I just have to scratch my head and wonder why, because it looks just like the last two Samurai Shodown games, even borrowing some of the backgrounds from Sam Sho 4. What specifically makes this game stand out from the dozens of other fighting games available on the Neo-Geo? What justifies it as a nominee for game of the year? Please convince me somehow that Samurai Shodown V is more than just another run-of-the-mill Neo-Geo fighting game.
