soory fellahs, gonna have to disagree. Last Blade 2 ownz all your base. Despite the fact that sam sho has had 4 versions and was out b4 LB. The creators of the genre @ SNK have refined in LB everything they wanted SS to be. From character moves to story modes and general gameplay, LB2 is the final product of SNK's long history of sword fighting games. SS was just the testing ground.
