Wasn't that interested in the game before and still ain't now, from what (admittedly little) I saw. I won't lie, it looks kind of boring.
Though like other fighting games I might appreciate it more if I had played it myself, if only a little bit. It gives you the ability to better process what is happening on screen and why players make the decisions and use the moves they do, which in turn makes it more interesting to watch. This might be especially true for SamSho because it can't just rely on flashy shit the way a Mortal Kombat or a DB FighterZ can. So I do plan on picking it up when it has dropped in price.
