Extras

Beyond the intense battles and character stories, Samurai Shodown (2019) offers several extra content to enhance your experience and challenge your skills. This section will guide you through unlocking and using these additional features.

Dojo Mode

Dojo Mode is an innovative feature that allows you to fight against "ghosts" of other players, even when they are offline. These ghosts learn and adapt to player fighting styles, providing an ever-evolving challenge.

  • Accessing Dojo Mode: From the main menu, navigate to "Battle" and then select "Dojo."
  • Ghost Data: Your own fighting data is automatically recorded and uploaded, allowing other players to fight against your ghost. Similarly, you can download and fight against ghosts of players from around the world.
  • Training Strategy:
    • Identify Weaknesses: Pay close attention to the patterns and habits of the ghosts you face. Are they overly aggressive? Do they favor specific special moves? Identifying these can help you develop counter-strategies.
    • Practice Defenses: Ghosts can be excellent for practicing your parries, dodges, and counter-attacks against unpredictable opponents.
    • Learn New Combos: Experiment with your character's move list against various ghost types to see which combos are most effective in different situations.
  • Rewards: Participating in Dojo Mode and defeating ghosts can earn you in-game currency (Gold) and sometimes even unique titles or cosmetic items for your player profile. Check the "Challenges" section for specific Dojo-related objectives.

Gallery

The Gallery is your hub for unlocking and viewing various in-game collectibles, including character artwork, concept art, and cinematic cutscenes.

  • Accessing the Gallery: From the main menu, select "Collection" and then "Gallery."
  • Unlocking Content:
    • Story Mode Completion: Completing Story Mode with each character will unlock their respective character art and story-specific cutscenes. For example, finishing Story Mode with Haohmaru will unlock his character profile and unique ending.
    • Arcade Mode Progression: Reaching certain milestones in Arcade Mode, such as defeating specific bosses or completing the mode on higher difficulties, can unlock additional concept art.
    • In-Game Currency: Many gallery items, particularly older concept art and music tracks, can be purchased using Gold earned from battles and challenges. Navigate to the "Shop" within the Gallery to browse available items.
    • Special Events: Keep an eye out for limited-time events or promotions that may offer exclusive gallery content as rewards.
  • Viewing Content: Once unlocked, simply select the category (e.g., "Character Art," "Concept Art," "Cutscenes") and then the specific item to view it.

Sound Test

Relive the iconic sounds of Samurai Shodown (2019) with the Sound Test feature, allowing you to listen to all the in-game music and character voice lines.

  • Accessing Sound Test: From the main menu, select "Collection" and then "Sound Test."
  • Unlocking Tracks:
    • Default Tracks: Many of the game's main themes and character select music will be available from the start.
    • Story Mode Completion: Completing Story Mode with a character will unlock their specific stage theme and victory music in the Sound Test. For instance, clearing Story Mode with Nakoruru will make her stage music available.
    • Arcade Mode Progression: Progressing through Arcade Mode can unlock boss themes and other battle music.
    • Purchasing with Gold: Some classic tracks from previous Samurai Shodown titles, or specific character voice packs, may be available for purchase using Gold in the "Shop" section of the Collection menu.
  • Listening to Music: Browse through the list of unlocked tracks and select the one you wish to hear. You can often loop tracks or listen to specific sound effects and character quotes.

Replay Theater

The Replay Theater allows you to save and rewatch your most epic battles, analyze your gameplay, or simply admire your flawless victories.

  • Accessing Replay Theater: From the main menu, select "Collection" and then "Replay Theater."
  • Saving Replays: After any match (online or offline), you will typically be prompted to save the replay. Confirm to store it in your Replay Theater. You can also manually save replays from the pause menu during a match.
  • Viewing Replays:
    • Select Replay: Choose from your saved replays. They are usually organized by date, character, or opponent.
    • Playback Controls: You'll have standard playback controls like play, pause, fast forward, and rewind.
    • Analyze Gameplay: Use replays to identify areas for improvement. Did you drop a combo? Miss a parry opportunity? Replays are invaluable for learning.
    • Share Replays: While direct in-game sharing might be limited, you can often record your screen during replay playback to share your best moments with friends or online communities.
  • Managing Replays: Be mindful of your storage space. You can delete older or less significant replays to make room for new ones.
