Samurai Shodown V / Samurai Spirits Zero (Boss, Hack) — About this game
Repeated slashes drain the sword energy gauge and weaken attacks, while resting from attacks restores it. Even a missed swing spends the resource, so measure the range before each strike instead of maintaining a continuous slash chain. A+B performs the heavy slash, C kicks and D handles special actions including meditation. Meditation transfers rage into another gauge, preparing the State of Nothingness when its conditions are met. Start by preserving recovery time, blocking normally and adjusting distance for attacks that will reach.
