    The game is good but the controls are just painfully pitiful...

    I haven't had one little issue with the controls. Considering its on the touchscreen, the controls are just as good as KOF's & SF's. I haven't found myself fighting with them once since getting it... But then again, I knew what to expect with virtual controls in a fighter.

    If anyone's interested in hearing... The more I play, the better I feel about this one. I've been playing on the hardest difficulty to try and get better, and then went back to the easiest this morning and got to the 4th opponent.

    I do feel like the more I play, the better I get, and I've been focusing on just one character instead of switching between a coue of them every game I start or every continue. I quit using continues, but I might try and get as far as I can later today by continuing for about 30 minutes...

    I'm definitely frustrated, but that hasn't really effected my enjoyment of the game. I'm still VERY glad that we've got this on our iDevices...

    And I still haven't had one issue with the controls. I have the A+B and C+D active, but no SP button (I feel like using that is just one step above cheating...), and I'm able to pull off special moves with out a problem about 95% of the time... Which is about what it is when I play fighting games with physical controls...

    Is there a bug when viewing character moves when in a game? I swear that it's always showing me the wrong character's moves.

    Also, is the original worth purchasing? It's on PSN.

    IMO the first SS is the best one. SS II is a close 2nd, but SS 1 has always been my favorite.

    iCade support doesn't seem to work on iPad 1, only iPad 2 and up?

    I noticed this is still on sale.

    What is the iCade layout? Judging from DotEMU's previous titles I'm guessing:

    AC
    BD(maybe)

    Edit: Got my answer from the price drop thread.

    BCD
    A

    Just like the old MVS cabs. :D

    I just snagged this and am enjoying it.

    The controls aren't bad. Ive been using the 4 button setup with the SP button on. If you hit the SP button without a directional input, you get a standing AB (hard) slash so really, you're only sacrificing the jumping Hard Slash, CD Kick and a few special moves (unless you do them manually) by using 4 button+SP setup.

    This is a great port and the file size is pretty small too which is nice considering I only have an 8GB iPhone. :(

    Great point on the four button setup. I may try it again.

    Just picked this up in the sale.

    I can't reconfigure all the buttons on iPad Air! All the buttons start max size and are huge on screen. If I reduce the size most of the buttons are places underneath the joystick area and I can't seem to select them, all stuck on the left side of the screen overlapping each other.

    Anyone else had this problem?

    I am having the same problem. It is completely unplayable as a result. I am trying to play it on an iPad Mini 2.

    Hi neonbible and anyone else who has had this problem with the key configuration. I don't have an exact way that I fixed it but I can tell you what I did to finally get the keys separated and working.

    I'm sure you noticed that when you try to resize the keys to make them smaller most of the keys then quickly shift to the left and go under the virtual joystick. What I found to work is moving this slider really quick and somehow some of the keys don't shift as fast and make it under the virtual joystick. I was then able to somehow grab the two or three keys left under the virtual joystick and pull them out by holding a finger on the virtual joystick and dragging with another finger the keys underneath it. Somehow it pulled them out from underneath it. I'm a bit wary of resetting to default to confirm that this will work again.

    I'm sorry if this sounds confusing but it's kind of hard to explain. I believe any of you who have experienced probably understand what I mean.

    Hi LisaVi, many thanks for the tips, seemed to get it working by playing with the slider bar yay!! Not sure why it is so buggy as its fine on KOF games and imagine its easy to fix.

    But wow this game is super hard, can only get to the second d guy on easiest.

    MFI doesn't work

    Ya, I got the Stratus XL from Steel Series. It works with King Of Fighters but not Samurai Shodown 2, only A & B buttons are working.

    Can Dev fix this?

    I had a similar problem when I connected my PS3 controller to my phone and tried to play the game. There's no button mapping option that I could find and like you said, only two buttons worked.

    On sale for a buck but it hasn't been updated since September of 2014 so you might just be renting it for a few months.
