    It’s sad that Galford’s feelings for Nakaruru never benefits him.
    Cuz she never acknowledges his feelings and seems to be oblivious to it. But being a priestess of the forest, she doesn’t really have time for romance. Her duty is more important to her. Which is probably the reason why she never acknowledges Galford’s feelings.

    Samsho 2 is probable the most fun of them all. It's an amazing game that stood the test of time. Samsho V even though most people find it the best... I can't seem to get into it. Samsho IV on the other hand was the one I played the most. Amazing roster and love the button setup, it's my personal favorite setup (3 slashes and 1 kick). II and IV are the best for me. Great video. Cheers.

    Even though the attack damage was set WAY too high, Samurai Shodown 3 remains my favorite aesthetically. The character designs and sprite work were at its absolute peak. Smooth, beautifully colored brush paintings come to life! Also the arranged soundtrack is one of my favorite SNK soundtracks that I love listening to. Basara's violin melody will still get my blood pumping and Galford and Rimiruru's themes still put a smile on my face!
