Susukigahara Field - November, known in Japan as Mikatagahara - August (三方ヶ原・葉月 Mikatagahara - Hazuki?, where "Hazuki" is the nickname of the month August on the old lunar calendar) is a stage featured in the second installment of the Samurai Shodown series released by SNK in 1994 for Neo Geo MVS and AES systems. Genjuro Kibagami is the character who fights in this stage during Arcade Mode, or when a new challenger chooses him in Versus mode. Susukigahara Field borrows slightly from Yamagata stage with the style of scenario, but are considered different. A new version of this stage was made for the 2019 soft reboot.
