īayonet drills handed down through the family lineage for generations ( 家系に代々伝わる銃剣術, kakei ni daidai tsutawaru jūken-jutsu ?) According to Gamest Mook (a Japanese mook created separate from its main publication), he was a possible candidate for the Samurai Shodown 64 lineup but was taken out due to time constraints. He returns in Samurai Shodown RPG as one of the game's main antagonists. In Samurai Shodown III, Samurai Shodown IV, Samurai Shodown V Special, and Samurai Shodown VI Amakusa is a playable character. He also projects fiery projectiles in the image of demons to his foes, making him a formidable long-distance fighter. To confuse his adversaries, he may also teleport and hover above them before diving upon them with a damaging attack. At times, his gem may not compensate for opponents close to him so he also has a multi-hitting slap attack when he is close. He can direct the gem with an impressive range, able to smash his enemies from the air and ground level from nearly any distance easily. During the events in Samurai Shodown II, he saves certain characters from Mizuki's wrath but is defeated, leaving only Shinzo's body for Hanzo to claim.Īmakusa fights his opponents by attacking them with a levitating gem. His evil counterpart is slain by Zankuro in the same game but his good side lives on thanks to Shinzo. Upon his resurrection in Samurai Shodown IV, his spirit splits into two halves: one good and one evil. The player prevents this from happening by defeating him. His main plot involves him stealing the Palenke stone, with which he intended to bring Ambrosia to the mortal world. Prior to the events of Samurai Shodown, Amakusa is resurrected by the dark goddess Ambrosia he uses the body of Shinzo Hattori (one of Hanzo's sons). He is based on the historical Amakusa Shirō, who led a Christian rebellion in the Shimabara region of Japan where the bakufu army crushed his revolt and executed him. Shiro Tokisada Amakusa ( 天草 四郎 時貞, Amakusa Shirō Tokisada ?) is a recurring boss and playable character in the Samurai Showdown series. Characters Shiro Tokisada Amakusa Amakusa Tips about the game or strategies against the AI would be appreciated, it is very hard to find information about SamSho 1 online.Main article: List of Samurai Shodown Characters from 3D seriesĬharacters included into this list originated from the Samurai Shodown 64 series, Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage, and Samurai Shodown: Sen. Am I a total scrub (which is very possible) or is the game actually very hard? If the game is hard, does it gets better on latter installments? Which ones? Or if I'm a scrub, PLEASE help me, the game is very good but I'm just getting frustrated playing them, and I'm sick of it.
I actually gave up midway through with Charlotte. My playthroughs with Haohmaru, Gen An and Nakoruru were tough (with 15+ losses) and with Ukyo it was hell (30+ losses). So far I only beat the game decently (only 1 loss) with Galford, and that was using a bit of an exploit, as the AI didnt seem to block his medium slash jump in. I'm trying to complete it with all characters, but the game is just absurdly hard, some of the regular characters you fight are harder than the final boss (Jubei and especially Ukyo are a couple of demons). The games itself are very good, and I decided to start from the very first one so I could properly understand the story. Hi guys, a while ago I made a post about Samurai Shodown Anthology for the ps2, and after thinking about it for a few months I decided to get it.
