About The Last Blade 2
The Last Blade 2 (1998) takes everything from the first game and polishes it. The story continues at the end of the Edo period, as the gate between the worlds of the living and the dead opens once again and the mysterious Setsuna appears as the new final boss.
Newcomers include Hibiki Takane, a young swordswoman who fights with iaijutsu draws, and Kojiroh Sanada, alongside returning favorites Kaede, Moriya, Yuki and Akari.
How it plays
- Speed, Power and the new EX mode, which mixes Speed's chain combos with Power's super cancels.
- Deflect returns as the core defensive tool.
- Improved balance makes more characters competitive than in the first game.
Best characters
- Moriya – excellent range and fast iai slashes.
- Kaede – the balanced hero.
- Hibiki – powerful draws once you learn her timing.
Tips
- Try Speed mode first, then experiment with EX once you know your character.
- Deflect is strong but risky – use it when you can predict an attack.
- Keep your distance with long-reach characters and punish whiffed attacks.
Go back to The Last Blade or try Samurai Shodown II. See all on the SNK fighting games hub.
