Samurai Shodown VI (サムライスピリッツ天下一剣客伝, Samurai Supirittsu Tenkaichi Kenkakuden, Tale of the World's Greatest Swordsmen), is the tenth iteration in the Samurai Shodown series of fighting games. This game features all characters from the 2D games and is a dream match installment. The game's storyline is a standalone parallel world based on the events of Samurai Shodown V and previous games in the series (ie: Gaira is bald, Genan has his children from his second ending). The producer gives it the nickname "festival game".
