(NGCD) Samurai Spirits IV

Despite being the fourth entry in the series, chronologically the story is set between the first two episodes.
This version had many changes from the previous title, the aerial blocking was removed and the POW gauge can’t be charged by the player; a strike move was added by pressing C and D buttons and a “fatality” move for certain finishes similar to Mortal Kombat series.
Besides the two new characters, Kazuki and Sogetsu Kazama, this episode features the return of all previously characters, even those which were not included in Samurai Spirits III.
