	Earthquake (Samurai Shodown) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earthquake is a video game character from SNK Playmore's Samurai Shodown series of fighting games.
		He also appears in Samurai Shodown RPG, which all possibly prove that he had not truly disappeared after the second game, and is still around up to his old tricks.
		Earthquake and Galford would actually be Mexican citizens technically, due to the fact that Texas, Nevada, California, Arizona and New Mexico were still part of Mexico until 1836.

	Samurai Shodown Review
		Samurai Shodown is, at one level, a Street Fighter 2 clone with a medieval Japanese setting, and, at another level, an elegant ballet of fist, feet, and swords.
		Earthquake, a 10-foot tall ninja wannabe with a weight problem, is a virtual punching bag, but Gen-an, a troll-like being with "Freddy Krueger" claws, has such an erratic fighting style that it can be difficult to deal with.
		Samurai Shodown is more of an alternate universe, what-if scenario than an accurate portrayal of history (since the body of the real-life Amakusa was never found, what if he was just asleep all this time and awoke one day for revenge?).

		Stories in Samurai Shodown have been made into anime, while some anime series, most notably Rurouni Kenshin (Nobuhiro Watsuki, the creator of Rurouni Kenshin, incidentally, created some of the new characters in Samurai Shodown V), are homages to Samurai Shodown.
		Samurai Shodown was among the first fighting games that modified the classical Street Fighter II formula and chose a different fighting system and many gameplay improvements (and graphical effects as well, such as the then revolutionary zoom effect).
		Its successor Samurai Shodown II was also enthusiastically received by critics and fans alike, but probably mostly by graphics that surpassed everything seen before in this genre since the gameplay was not changed much.

		The Samurai Shodown series has seen better days, but most of the classic characters are back in this installment, and taking them online can make for some nostalgic fun.
		In Samurai Showdown III and IV, you could choose between two alternate versions of each fighter, each of which had his or her own set of special moves.
		Samurai Shodown V is ideal for fans of NeoGeo fighting games who are still keeping the faith after all these years, but its dated presentation and complicated game mechanics probably won't do much for anybody else.

		Samurai Shodown also introduced the idea of the “POW” meter, also known as the “rage gauge.” Set at the bottom of the screen, the meter filled up as players took hits or blocked attacks.

		Samurai Shodown was one of SNK's big surprise hits in the video game world and arcade players welcomed the one on one sword swinging gameplay to the usual one on one beat em up clones of Street Fighter II at the time.
		Here we have the Super Nintendo version of Samurai Shodown, this is a huge 32 Meg game with all the 13 characters, their own backgrounds, and soundtracks, so it's mostly all here but it's still has it's list of problems especially in the graphic and sound departments.

	Samurai Shodown FAQ by Galen Komatsu and Scott Fujimoto
		The standing A of Haohmaru and Earthquake, and the standing B of Hanzo, Galford, and Nakoruru are the only downstroke's I've found that qualify.
		With the exceptions of Galford, Hanzo, Nakoruru, and Earthquake, all of the character's B thrusts meet the second qualification (for certain one's like Tam-Tam and Jubei, you may have to do a crouch thrust).
		However, if you get into a struggle with Earthquake when you don't have a weapon, you will execute a low CD kick on him since he can't be thrown.

	Samurai Shodown III Review
		The team responsible for the popular and critically acclaimed Samurai Shodowns 1 and 2 was no longer around and a third installment was highly anticipated, if not expected.
		Gone are many of the fun and funny fan favorites (Genjuro, Earthquake, Wan-Fu, Caffeine Nicotine, Charlotte, Jubei, and Tam-Tam/Cham-Cham among others), and in their place we find a few decidedly darker (and rather vague) characters to go with the more serious theme.
		I believe the Samurai Shodown series was lucky to survive part 3.

	DOOM ON YOU
		Besides the crummy translating job (which by the way adds humor to the game as you laugh heartily at sayings like "Ive made it mincemeat" and "Kill You!") Samurai Shodown 2 is one of the best fighting games ive ever played.
		If you happen to choose the character EarthQuake (who wields the blade-on-chain), all you have to do is crouch and use your super power, which consists of: throwing your weapon about half the length of the battle field and hurting the other player to about half health.
		Over all I thought Samurai Shodown 2 is a new twist on a classic genre, making it so that combos are not the only way to win the game (excluding, of course, Earthquake).

		When Samurai Shodown was released for the NEO*GEO, it was sort of a cult hit.
		These were mostly Kurosawa-esque Samurais and Ninjas, but there was also a ten foot tall giant named Earthquake, which, sadly, didn't make it into the Genesis and Sega CD versions of Samurai Shodown.
		And this was the appeal, along with the authentic feudal Japanese music and hilariously bad dialouge ("My spirit burns like the sun and I shall dry you like a prune!"), a final boss whose gender was impossible to determine, and an elaborate (albeit cheesy) storyline.
