I been playin Last Blade 2 alot more than normal lately (inspired by the Kenshin ova's ;D) & as always with this title been havin a really good time. I love the game for its visuals & style but i've never been very good at it, i find that i can pull some pretty bad ass combo's yet somedays i can play endlessly & never make it to the end boss due to my suckyness & imo uber ai compared to any other neo fighter out there. This is a title that much more enjoyable imo when played vs. a live opponent. I love the prematch fight screens, (they reign superior to any neo fighter imo) the different variety of katana fighting styles though i hope in the next edition that snkp will concentrate on different varieties of swordsman characters & avoid the lighthearted characters like akari & okina mainly concentrating on more different styles with... uhh... blades  I'd like to see a more of a true sequel with all new levels, music, & many more moves for old characters then what was done with SS5 or should i say SS4X ;D though i'd definately cheer if playmore does with kenshin what they did with the character from akira that ended up k9999. (imagine how sweet it would be if they made a sprite that looked just like kenshin with but just name him different & take off the scar if they have 2 for copyright purposes ;D) This game has some of the best character animations ( Hibiki Rules  ) & beautiful backrounds on the neo-geo but doesn't have the average neo user friendly moves as samurai showdown imo which is a good thing cause it's different but seems to lack a wide variety of moves per character. I know all the basics of each direction plus attack button and the abilities of both the speed & power class but im still feeling there must be something deeper in the gameplay that keeps me on a lower level then some ai controlled characters.  (yeah... i just can't seem to master this game) Anyways, now that i've shared my thoughts i'm hoping to get some feedback from my fellow members on what aspects they enjoy of this neo classic & what should be changed or added with the upcoming Last Blade 3

I wouldn't want 3 to be all that different from 2. Maybe just some new characters and play mechanics.

 What do you guys think of Lee? I personally like him, though he hardly uses a weapon. Also, what about the whole power/speed thing. I've done both, and I've decided I liked power better. I can certainly do the speed combos, but the character is just not powerful enough. Kagami's my favorite character, I really hope SNK would include him in a LB3 In terms of a LB3, I would want someone who fights with two swords. I know Musashi was in LB1 and the neoCD and DC ports of LB2, but he was a boss, and SNK didn't really put that much effort into him. IMO I would want someone who plays like the other characters, which IMO Musashi did not so much. (No run, he shook the screen whenever he jumped, his moves were slow) Someone with two swords who played like Kagami -that would be about perfect ;D

They officialy announced a Last Blade 3 ? Yup, now where's your lb2 feedback!  Anyways, sweet sprite there darkschneider. (though i prefer the style in which Kenshin is presented in the ova's) Lee is a bad ass and he's actually the second best person im good with. It's kinda akward lee being in a game called last blade but he is a sweet character & so is Kagami. For this coming game i'd like a big roster change cause i've learned most of the characters in lb2 & i wan't alot of new characters to learn to keep things fresh cause thats what a good sequel is all about

Yup, now where's your lb2 feedback!  Please excuse me, great ninja master  Here it is: Great game, the kenshin ova did make me think about LB2 (Hibiki reminds me of kenshin) It surparses any 2d sword fighting game to date Great visuals, great gameplay, the only thing is that i still haven't took the time to learn to play it properly And yes Hibiki rulz, but Setsuna and Kagami are quite cool too

Yeah, we should. We should all probably use the same emu too, so no one calls the fight based on disync (sp?) We should also probably discuss this in another thread so we don't hijack this one. Now which forum to post in? Last Blade 2 discussion mode: BTW, I played Last Blade 2 almost every day for 9 conscecutive months  I'm some sort of freak or something, I just never get tired of the game.

About the Kenshin thing; Moriya is pretty much the Last Blade version of Kenshin. It's weird because Kenshin got influenced a little by Samurai Shodown, which was influenced by many historical figures in Japanese history. Then Last Blade seemed to take a lot of influence from Kenshin... take a look here for a rundown of the characters that have similarities to Kenshin, it's an interesting read: www.miburo.com/info/lastblade3.htmlAnyways, I love Last Blade 2, although in some ways I prefer the original. Both are amazing games though and they rank right up there with Samurai Shodown 2 for me, and considering that is one of my all time favourites, you can tell how much I like them  Kaz
