Chronologically, it is the second and final chapter of a story between Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown II , with Samurai Shodown III being the first chapter. Samurai Shodown! on the Neo Geo Pocket is a monochrome adaptation of this game, and it was followed by Samurai Shodown! 2 on the Neo Geo Pocket Color , which is a 2D adaptation of Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage . Gameplay Gameplay screenshot showcasing a match between Rimururu and Basara Kubikiri . Among other series changes, aerial blocking was removed entirely. One can also no longer charge one's own "pow" gauge. The off-screen delivery man was omitted entirely from the game. The "CD combo" was added, wherein a player can press the C and D buttons together, triggering a strike that can be followed up by a sequence of button taps. SNK also added a "suicide" move, wherein one's character forfeits the round. The bonus to this is that the one committing suicide will start the next round with a full "POW" gauge. Certain finishes also enable a " fatality " move in the vein of Mortal Kombat . Characters Some of the older characters were restored, such as Charlotte , Tam Tam and Jubei Yagyu . The entire cast of the previous game also returns, though some have been retouched to further enhance the cartoonish look. Joining the cast are the two ninja brothers: Kazuki Kazama - member of the Kazama ninja clan specializing in fire jutsu, he deserts to rescue his younger sister, Hazuki, from Amakusa's clutches. Sogetsu Kazama - older brother to Kazuki and Hazuki who uses water jutsu; unlike Kazuki, he stays with the clan and is ordered to assassinate his brother for leaving. Cham Cham from Samurai Shodown II also makes a playable appearance, exclusively for the PlayStation port of the game known in Japan as Samurai Spirits: Amakusa's Descent Special .
