The First 15 Minutes of サムライスピリッツ: 天草降臨 Special (PlayStation, Samurai Shodown IV)

Copied from Infogalactic:

Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge, also known as Samurai Spirits: Amakusa's Descent in Japan, is the fourth in SNK's flagship Samurai Shodown series of fighting games. Chronologically, it is the second and final chapter of a story between Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown II, with Samurai Shodown III being the first chapter.

Among other series changes, aerial blocking was removed entirely, as well as the switch-around move and the dodges.

One can also no longer charge one's own "pow" gauge. The off-screen delivery man was omitted entirely. The "CD combo" was added, wherein a player can press the C and D buttons together, triggering a strike that can be followed up by a sequence of button taps.

SNK also added a "suicide" move, wherein one's character forfeits the round. The bonus to this is starting the next round with a full "POW" gauge. Certain finishes also enable a "fatality" move in the vein of Mortal Kombat.
