Samurai Shodown 3 - Beginner's Guide Video [TIMESTAMPED; SUBTITLED]

Note: the subtitles currently seem a little off? Mostly during the gaps between no dialogue. I'll fix it when I get the chance. Ever wanted to learn how to play Samurai Shodown 3 plays like? Ever wondered what Samurai Shodown 3 offers in the first place? Does the prospect of instant death matches in a fighting game pique your interest? Then welcome to the Samurai Shodown 3 guide video! Here I'll tell you what makes this game a ton of fun to play and ease you into the mechanics! I'm so excited to have finally made this video, and making a Samurai Shodown video in the first place. This game is without a doubt my second favorite Samsho just behind Samsho 7, and it deserves more love than most people are willing to give it. I may even go as far as to say this might be one of my top 10 favorite fighting games out there. Of course there's that gut feeling that I could've added more to the video, but I hope I did a good job regardless. This game is truly one of SNK's hidden gems.
