Samurai Shodown III: Gaira playthrough lvl-8 bust 【60fps】

Samurai Shodown 3: Blades of Blood / Samurai Spirits Zankurō Musōken.
Kafuin Gaira playthrough in bust mode and max difficulty.

Due to so many round losses, this is probably the messiest playthrough that I've uploaded thus far. My favorite SS3 character deserves better! :D Yet still I'm so happy because I was able to pull off so many anti-air special moves for once.

I love Gaira's both modes slash/bust almost equally, but if I had to choose: bust. That crazy anti-air move is so fun to use! It's just absurd how the opponent goes bouncing and flying across the screen. Totally worth the risk/style points even if it does pitiful damage.

Recently I've liked using the "Katsu!" special move to pseudo bait AI jump-ins. As the move is active it shifts my focus to anticipation as well as provides a handy input buffer.

And I gotta say I lovelovelove that bust color palette. Easily my favorite in the game. Perhaps even in the whole series.
