How to Play Samurai Shodown
Quick start
Choose a fighter in Samurai Shodown and use the first round to learn reach, recovery, and defence before attempting long combinations. Keep enough distance to react, block or evade predictable attacks, and punish missed moves with a short reliable sequence. Add throws and special inputs after the basic attacks feel consistent.
Controls
Use the D-pad to move, crouch, jump, and enter directional commands. A, B, and C perform the attack buttons assigned by the selected control setup; directions combined with attacks produce throws or special moves. Start begins the match and pauses where the game allows it.
