Is Season Pass One free?
Season pass One was only available for free on PS4 outside Japan for a limited time right before the game's release in the west. Nowadays you'll have to pay for it.
I bought Season Pass Two on PS4 but I cant use Mina
Due to some issue with the PS Store, Season Pass Two had to be delayed so people was only able to acquire the first character (Mina) separately. Later on when the season pass was finally made available, they decided not to include Mina in it while making it cheaper that the first season pass. So you will have to get both Season Pass Two and Mina on PS4 for the full package
How do I find tech on Twitter?
Besides to the general hashtags #SamuraiShodown, #SamSho and #サムライスピリッツ, #サムスピ in Japanese, each character in the game has a specific hashtag which people should aim to use when posting tech for ease of searching. The rule of thumb is to start with #SS_ (for Samurai Spirits / Samurai Shodown) and append the first two letters of a character's name. In case of overlap, a different 2nd letter is picked. For example: Shiki (#SS_SH) and Shizumaru (#SS_SZ), Haohmaru (#SS_HA) and Hanzo (#SS_HZ), or Charlotte (#SS_CH) and Cham Cham (#SS_CC). The current list is as follows:
Character | キャラクター | Hashtag / ハッシュタグ |
---|---|---|
Basara Kubikiri | 首斬り破沙羅 | #SS_BA |
Charlotte | シャルロット | #SS_CH |
Cham Cham | チャムチャム | #SS_CC |
