Trailer in OP doesnt even state a platform but only says at the end "More News coming soon".
They didn't. From my own article about it:
Me said:
A slide shown during the event has raised questions as to whether Samurai Shodown will be released on other platforms in addition to PlayStation 4, but said slide appears to indicate the representation of SNK's key series across platforms—not the platforms of the new Samurai Shodown specifically. For example, The King of Fighters XIV is pictured for the King of Fighters series, but while The King of Fighters XIV is available on PlayStation 4 and PC, it is not available on Switch and Xbox One, which are also listed. However, the series itself is available across all listed platforms. The same can be said for the Samurai Shodown (Samurai Spirits) and Metal Slug series, both of which have games available on all listed platforms.
Yeah, it's strange that none of the trailers have listed platform, despite being initially announced for PS4. The official Evo 2019 title list e-mail sent to press does mention that the tournament will use the PS4 version, though.
Damn, when Galford gets hit by the first hit of Haohmaru super it looks like his blood splatters all over Haohamaru's face and body/clothes? Haohmaru is still covered in blood when completing the rest of the super.
Either that or it's Haohmaru's blood from getting damaged earlier in the round. Either way there is definitely blood on the characters and it stays. You can see blood on Galford's pants and arm in another part of the trailer.

Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Genjuro, Ukyo, Earthquake, Jubei, Galford, Charlotte, Hanzo, Tam Tam and Kyoshiro are confirmed so far iirc.
Shiki is rumored.
Despite my 36 years on this planet, I have somehow never played a SamSho game.
What's up with that insane damage?

If you don't hit for a time, it accumulates rage, so when you land a hit, it takes ton of damage, especially if it's a heavy one.
According to a secondary source, SNK mentioned XB1, Switch, and PC in an investors' meeting, but those platforms have yet to be confirmed by a trailer or official tweet. I'm not sure why they won't just come out and confirm the other platforms.
They've definitely improved the visuals from the first trailer. I'm looking forward to it.
Hopefully the roster isn't limited though...

SamSHO at EVO, Let's GO!
That close-up shot of Jubei after his segment looked so calm, lol.
The gameplay looked fast initally. Maybe this is because my last VS battles of SamSho2 were full of heavy hitstun slowdowns, and kagebushin out of blows... nice to see meters and all on screen.
So we about to begin the SNK style hype train for real now? The quiet has felt long lasting.
SNK has so many crossovers now, with SamSho, we have a chance to see their characters at more places during EVO. Makes me wish they'd get into bbCTB even more, ha.
I enjoyed the quick acceptance of FEXL into EVO last year, it's nice to see how games start with the fighting pros. Gives less time for tech to become stale and overused, which leads to nice on stage surprises mid battle.
Hope SNK post their own extended version of this trailer soon. It was great to have, but feels like we could use another character, stage, or narration after all this time. If not... not like too long til release, now...!

It has been sometime since I played SS2, but it definitely feels slower than IV or VSp.
That game makes KoF14 look like it came out at the end of last gen. Holy shit this game looks good
The lighting and shadows definitely have a similar style to them. Thankfully, it's not as garish in it's colors as SFxT.
Hm, maybe, yeah. SSII will always be my definition for the series, even when playing others. Something beteen both speeds should feel nice.
Playable at PAX East! March 28th to 31st. Man, now I'm gonna want March to speed by, lol.
