The second part of Samurai Shodown did not make any significant changes in terms of graphics. Faster that the stages have become more colorful. There are more characters (fifteen fighters). Battles, as before, are distinguished by their showiness. With the collision of swords, a struggle of forces begins. The loser drops the weapon. Soundtrack does its job well. Each fighter has a rage bar, which he accumulates to perform a special attack.
