the new samsho is good, far better than strive, in gameplay and all, you need to actual use your brains and not just mashing your hands and face to win a fight you need to think and form a tactic, it's not just fancy flashy superhuman sword attacks although samsho 5 was still the best for it's 2D era, just like accent core plus r for gg kof 14 was mediocre with some good combos, but sadly, it still wasn't polished enough and most of the designs were bland as well now kof 15 look lit, lot's of improvements at all aspects, they even added old 2D moves and techs for several chars, by converting them to 2,5D levels, added new counter and punishment moves too
