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

Samurai Shodown 3: Blades of Blood / Samurai Spirits Zankurō Musōken.
The undead ninja specialized in shadow melt techniques, Kubikiri Basara playthrough in bust mode; the bottom tier character of this game. Played at the highest difficulty setting.

Flashback from 2017 level-4 playthrough:
"I'm glad I'll never have to try recording him again"

Changed my mind when I finally learned the back-hit sorasashi combo via shadow clone D-cancel and low kick links (consistency still needs improvement) and it actually started being fun, despite endless fails!
The brutal conclusion win pose helps a lot with motivation too.
Although my all time favorite Basara color is ss4's zombiesque green palette (even if it's a bit corny) this gritty ss3 palette with the almost mummified undead feel is 2nd favorite, the striking yellow contrasting magnificently with the darker skin.

I'll try recording another low-tier lvl8 challenge with bust Amakusa as the kick timing is similar to Basara, and while I'm still on form.
