Samurai Shodown, known in Japan as Samurai Spirits (サムライスピリッツ), is the first game of the Samurai Shodown series. It is the third game of the official chronology, succeeding Samurai Shodown (2019).

The game is set in the late 18th century, in the Edo period, and all the characters wield white weapons. The game uses comparatively authentic music from the time period, rife with sounds of traditional Japanese instruments, such as the shakuhachi and shamisen, and a refined version of the camera zoom first found in Art of Fighting. True to its use of bladed weapons, the game also included copious amounts of blood.

The game quickly became renowned for its fast pace, focused more on quick, powerful strikes than the combos. As to emphasize the distinction of this gameplay system, slow motion was added to intensify damage dealt from hard hits. Also during a match, a referee held flags representing each player (player 1 was white; player 2 red). When a player landed a successful hit, the referee would lift the corresponding flag, letting everyone watching know who dealt the blow. To lessen the repetition of fights, a delivery man running in the background threw items such as chicken (that healed) or bombs, which could significantly change the outcome of a play.

The cast of characters, like many other fighting games of its time, spanned from fighters across the globe, allowing a wide range of weaponry open for the players' enjoyment.

-'''Terry Bogard''' (テリー・ボガード, ''Terī Bogādo'') is the main protagonist of the ''[[Fatal Fury (series)|Fatal Fury]]'' series. He has appeared in every ''Fatal Fury'' and ''King of Fighters'' game, and is one of the characters of choice to symbolize the company in crossover games, merchandise and [[Nakoruru & Terry Club|publicity]]. He appears to fit many Japanese stereotypes for an American character in appearance, personality and speech (his in-game vocabulary is usually limited to American colloquialisms, such as "Okay!" and "Hey, c'mon, c'mon.").

-Terry Bogard is the brother of [[Andy Bogard]]. Both of them were orphans adopted by Jeff Bogard. He is often referred to as the '''Legendary Hungry Wolf''' (from ''Garou Densetsu'', meaning "Legend of the Hungry Wolf"). He has a pet monkey named [[Ukee]] (the previous mascot of SNK before Terry). He has a knack for scoring in basketball, which explains the creation of his Power Dunk move.
