Truer words have never been spoken Genjuro

SNK really puts a lot of thought and effort into their storylines and lore. They could easily write manga or anime if they so desired

Is nobody going to talk about the judge that is always in the back of the fights? Man has guts to stand next to demons with only 2 flags

I get the feeling SNK made SamSho IV's story to explain the "bullshit" of a good Amakusa suddenly existing and sacrificing himself in the end of SamSho II. Despite the mess of the saga being so out of order chronologically, I find II had the best lore imo.

I didn't knew about the story behind the big paint in Charlotte stage, thanks.

I love how in this series, the writers used later installments as prequels to give body to the lore of a game they didn't know would be so succesful. It just feels nice to think they probably didn't know it'd do so good, and then decided to make a creative effort through later games to make a cohesive story. Fckn love this series.

Shizumaru is one of my favorites in the series, it is nice to see a story from him and I do like how he is the apprentice of Haohmaru, and I like how his fighting styles advances as he initially used mostly his umbrella to fight, but later used his sword that he rarely used. Just a question, whatever happened to him after the events of Zankuro and the evil Amakusa?

Also it is a sad story that many have to die at the end of II.

I subscribed thanks to your KoF Summaries, and I'm happy to see Samurai Shodown vids now.

Pretty good storytelling for a fighting game series.

@gpanthony 6 years ago

Great videos, but sad that Galford's not mentioned at all... his story ties in to Nakoruru's after all...

@hyperjak810 6 years ago

Thank you for the storytelling, really puts it all in order and treats us to the great story of these games like no one but snk itself could!! Thank you!

Nice video! I really appreciate all the work done on it! Can you do one on Ukyo’s story? He’s condition with tuberculosis, how he recovered from it in IV(?) and the whole deal with kei?
