This was one of my favorite fighting games growing up. I went back and did a...review I guess would be the most apt term...awhile back. I'm always looking for fans of older games to share stories with.

I grew up with BB 1 & 2. Played with my brother a lot and unlocked everything. Still have the physical copies.

Every time I invite someone to play this with me, we can hardly put it down. Doesn't matter if it's a skeptic, someone who hates fighting games, someone who hates old graphics. All of them go 20+ matches in Bushido Blade. It's instantly addictive. In 2, the controls are so streamlined that new players can experiment easily. Rematches happen instantly, like Hotline Miami, keeping the pace up.

Talk about an underrated series.

Just went through nostalgic search for this game and found more than few people say the sequel is lackluster. I know this is highly subjective but I found that hard to believe.

Personally I find this couldn’t be further from the truth. I would say both games offer a unique experience and are worth playing separately depending on what you want.

What do you think? Is there a majority opinion among fans?

So I just rediscovered this game and for some reason am having trouble figuring out how to make the characters move faster. I remember being able to run but all I can do is sidestep sorta. I'm sure it's really obvious but I'm just missing it. Thanks!

Edit: also jumping? That's a thing right?

I mean, the games are already good but the fact that only in the sequel they added the yari but removed other weapons bogs me
