The Samurai Shodown series was a contender in the arcade fighter genre and developed a few of the firsts for the genre.

Such as it was the first to introduce animals as support characters. There are several other feats it has done, you can search it up.

The game itself sets apart from the other fighter games like Street Fighter since it is based on feudal Japan and has samurais with swords. The characters are very memorable and very fun to play with.

It just a great game with its cool Japan-esque soundtrack and neat graphics, albeit dull on Genesis.
