Instead of being stuck with all
three members of, say,
Team Japan, you could now pick characters from
different teams to make your own custom team. Samurai Shodown III (1995, NeoGeo)
Also appearing on: PlayStation (1996)
Samurai Shodown III represented a turning point in the series and for SNK. The original team that worked on the first two games had been disbanded, and Team Garapogos (a typical SNKgrish translation of Galapagos) was in charge of the series. Considering that the second Shodown game was praised as being one of the best fighting games of all time, there was intense pressure to deliver with the third game in the series. The changes made in the game were quite evident. Gone were some of the more campy characters such as Earthquake and Tam-Tam, and in was a new system called slash/bust (or chivalry/treachery). The slash/bust system was a play on the code of the samurai and allowed you to use slightly different versions of your chosen fighter. Other minor additions to the gameplay included air blocking, sidestepping/dodging, and POW charge. Although the changes in the game were for the better, many people felt that the series had
fallen with Shodown III. Perhaps it was the change in theme or the absence of many fan favorites, but many gamers still feel this is one of the weaker installments in the series. Art of Fighting 3: The Path of a Warrior (1996, NeoGeo)
The final game in the Art of Fighting series had Robert Garcia as the star, shoving aside Ryo and his family problems.
