Mikado Arcade’s Street Fighter Carnival X continues with World Warriors Perfect, Samurai Shodown 64 tournaments

Street Fighter Carnival X is Mikado Arcade’s currently-ongoing multi-game tournament series for a wide variety of classic (and sometimes, obscure) arcade titles. To see the beginning of these high-level Japanese tournaments, go here!

We have two tournaments to add to the long list of SFCX tournaments this year. First, Samurai Shodown 64 ( Samurai Spirits in Japan). This was SNK’s first foray into 3D fighters; it drifts pretty far from the core elements of the Shodown series thanks to duckable grabs and longer combos, among other mechanics.

Following this, we have the fast-paced battle’s of ADK’s World Heroes Perfect. Mikado Arcades patrons make it clear very quickly who their favorite character in this game is — and if you’re unfamiliar with the cast, you’ll know soon enough whom the background cries are mimicking.

You can follow the action of SFCX by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.
