Story:

It was autumn, 1789.  Amakusa and Mizuki were destroyed.
However, there were many cases of the disappearance of unborn
babies in various places, and a rumour of a mysterious
puppeteer has been going around.
The swordsmen have a feeling that an extraordinary event
never experienced before would take place.
Yes, at last the worst in the world of devils has started working!


Gunsmith Note:  I didn't write that, so don't look at me like I
can't speak the Queen's English.  Huh!  Nasakenai...
Mind you, SNK's Western Releases have always had funky English-
it's kinda cool that way...

--------------------------------

Rage Gauge:
When POW Gauge is full, you can either;
-Press BCD to activate your finisher move.  You will know when
you connect, because a artwork of your character will pop up, and
the screen will rotate around your opponent, who falls to their knees.
Apparently, the lower your energy is when you execute, the more
energy it takes from the opponent.
-Press ABC, where you will activate combo ability.  Continue to press
ABCD to hack your opponent to pieces.  There's obviously a pattern
to follow per character, but I do not have these yet.
Oooohh yes I do!  Hold on to your hats!!!

For the above chart- All I can say is, the Question marks mean
something is different about that move compared to the others!
Can any Genjuro players please get back to me, OR I'M NOT WRITING
UP THE OTHERS!!!  I don't even know what the point of a CANCEL
chart is.  Is it "What moves cancel into specials???"  or is it
simply what moves hit which part of the opponent?  Feedback puh-lease!

)@.@(

)^o^(

)<>.<>(

UUUUUrghhhhhhhh!

--------------------------------

Bosses:

You will fight Dekuina, a girl tattoed like Shiki, wearing
bandages over her eyes, with grey-blue skin and carrying two swords.
One of her specials has her swords growing to at least half screen length.

There is also a counterpart for Dekuina, only known as "Osu" in Japan.
Not sure, but apparently if you are undefeated when reaching Dekuina
stage, you will fight him instead.  Dressed like Dekuina, He carries
one sword and apparently has moves like Hoahmaru.

Then Yuta, a man dressed like Amakusa, but all in white.  He will
sit the whole round, and float.  Defeat him, and he stands up
to challenge for a final round.

Note: In Japan, Dekuina is called "Mesu"  which simply means
"female".  "Osu" means "male".

You must defeat Dekuina and Yuta in the same bout.
You must win three rounds, while they only have to beat you
twice.  If you get past Dekuina, but get defeated by Yuta,
you must fight Dekuina again.

Gandara.  This is the huge purple man, wiht a large blue tattoo over
his left shoulder.  When you hit him his skin gets redder.
He wears a yellow bandage covering his eyes.  He's
very slow, but did enormous damage when dealing hits.
Aparently he randomly challenges you, usually you are "taken," sucked
into his world on the second or third stage, usually in the second round
of your fight with whoever, and it over-rides the current fight (hence
if you have 1 win already, you only have to beat him once to continue,
if you have a loss, you must beat him twice, if he beats you you lose,
etc.) but sometimes it doesn't happen until the very end or not at all.

Koroko
The Referee is back!  Perfect Kazama for one round.  Not confirmed.
Visually confirmed though, and apparently he will referee the fourth round
in two player mode.  Oh, and he is controllable -Confirmed, but only
in versus mode.
When you choose character, press A+D, then when you choose Sword(Bust or
Slash), press B+C
alternate method: On character selection screen, hold CD, press A.
You'll choose a character but don't worry.
When given the option to choose SLASH or BUST, press and hold C,
then hit A or B.



--------------------------------


What's Needed.

You may notice some move names are really japlish: ie:
Japanese spelt English words.  Like *Mega sutoraiku Doogu*
is really "Mega Strike Dog".  The simple fact is, I need to
find the official western name before it's put in the faq.

Confirmation of cancel chart.
Why are there question marks where I put em???

English Move names and some conditions I'm not sure about.

The epithet for Haomaru is wrong on the SNK sheet I have
(It's the same as Sogetsu's).

Wait for v1.02 b4 sending in corrections please.
Erk...  My Japanese reading skills have gone right outta the window...
