Samurai Shodown / The Samurai Shodown 5 Special thread
December 09, 2017, 04:04:37 AM
Hey guys. I represent a community of Samsho5sp players that play on fightcade, xzone, and PS4 and wanted to get a thread started and hopefully drum up a bit or interest in the game.

We have folks of all skill levels from straight up beginners to some top players from back in the day so anyone wanting to play, there's a good chance you'll be able to find someone of your skill level to play against (there are also some KoF players among us as well!) It's a good group of folks who are really into the game and we have biweekly tournaments on fightcade as well.

This is a link to our discord channel here: https://discord.gg/UbQQ3fm  In addition to chat, it has channels with resources for learning the game including matchup charts, basic guides and movelists, and videos, some of which I'll post below.

A few resources to get you started:

Athena Asamiya / Dealing with Athena
November 15, 2012, 04:05:54 AM
I've been playing a little while (since May) and while I've been able to figure out strats and weaknesses against some of the characters I have trouble against, I can't say the same about Athena.

I play Ralf, King, and Robert, and I've yet to find a good way to deal with an even halfway decent Athena player. Her fireballs are good, recovery is excellent and she seems to to have tools to deal with any situation. You try to play keep away and she can zone you out. You try to zone her, she sends all your projectiles back at you and if you try to roll her dp is quick and has little recovery. I Find when I get close she uses that levitation thing or some of the other stuff she has. She doesn't seem to have any weaknesses that I can suss out. Help!
