Samurai Shodown games started gaining attention after release of its fourth installment but SSV Special was the one that truly conquered all. It has created a unique place into fighting game community of any other companies.
This franchise was deadlier and brutal compared to other fighting games of all sorts out there because of characters wielding deadly weapons in-game. On top of that, fatality moments delivered by Overkill Move were top notch gore.

Original arcade version of V Special was way too gory than we found it upon release of home console version. Because of its controversial level of violent aggression and an incident in Japan back then regarding the game has delayed its release.
When it finally came out, fans in general noticed it was heavily censored and that last moment censoring also resulted in unexpected bugs every now and then. Even though SNK acted out quickly in response, the damage was only partially fixed.

Retaining all of its original features, an online multiplayer mode, trophy support and an unlockable gallery mode are added for PlayStation release. Thanks to Code Mystics that original version that SNK intended to release is finally coming to consoles.
