Samurai Shodown IV
Introduction
Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa’s Revenge (サムライスピリッツ天草降臨, Samurai Supirittsu Amakusa Kōrin) is the fourth entry in the Samurai Shodown franchise, developed by SNK and released in 1996 for the Neo Geo arcade system.
Samurai Shodown IV is like an updated version of Samurai Shodown III, as it features some of the mechanics present from the previous game, as well as additional mechanics such as the Combo Slash and Rage Explosion. This game is considered a high point in the series by many due to it's diverse roster, fast gameplay, and unique combo system. It also introduces universal WFT inputs for the entire cast, which is now a staple for the series.
Characters
In terms of the roster, 5 characters were added in SSIV that weren't in SSIII, 2 of them new (Sogetsu and Kazuki) and 3 of them veterans (Tam Tam, Jubei, and Charlotte).
