- Well I'll put it simply....I've been working on getting a Virtua Fighter 5
walkthrough up as a means of my "coming out of retirement" kinda deal. Well
I'm still hard at work with it, but I figured as much that I should at least
put out there some character walkthroughs as well. I was planning on doing
this in the first place once I got the full walkthrough up, but I figured
what the hell....lets do it now. So with that being said I'm here to give
you all this guide on Kage-Maru.
- As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property! I
happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if
you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission
ok. I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as
you ask for my permission first. Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok,
lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of
thinking. Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised! My e-mail
box is always open!
- A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this
guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com. I write for that site and that
site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are. Any update
that I do will hit there. I don't really plan on keeping up with how many
other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and
update it on their site as well, so save yourself some trouble and headache
and check my guide out at GameFAQs ok. I really don't want to deal with a
million e-mails asking me about updates and info and such when I'm telling
you now what to do.

- Backstory -
- Kage-Maru had entered the fourth tournament to save the soul of his mother,
Tsukikage, who had been transformed into Dural by J6. He made it to the
final round, but the finals were interrupted by the sudden intrusion of
Dural. Kage-Maru tried to reach whatever was left of Tsukikage, but realized
that it was too late. He destroyed Tsukikage and Dural with his own hands.
Afterwards, however, he realized that the destroyed Dural he held in his arms
was not Tsukikage, but one of the production model Durals. After further
investigation, Kage-Maru found that J6 continued the Dural Project with a new
model with Vanessa's abilities. Kage-Maru decides to enter the fifth
tournament - to stop J6, and to save Tsukikage.

- Personal Opinion -
- Ok....here's basically my take on Kage-Maru:
Kage-Maru is kinda funny in terms of character difficulty and such. Normally
a ninja character is one of the most frustrating, confusing, and extremely
difficult characters in the roster to learn and master their moves with. But
that's not necessarily the case with Kage-Maru. I don't know if it's because
he's one of the characters that has ended up in the finals often enough in
previous games, or if he's the one that's suppose to be the main character of
the game despite the fact they keep giving Akira that appearance. Whatever
the case may be, Kage-Maru is a character that anyone no matter what their
skill level is, can pick up Kage and find a comfort zone with him. Beginner
players will love the fact that he has some simple and extremely reliable
combos and strike moves that will give you a sense of satisfaction and means
of getting use to the game. Expert players will love Kage's advance
repetoire of moves that, just like any other ninja character, range from
tricky to deadly. It's hard to find a reason not to like him. As a
beginner, I'd recommend that you use Kage-Maru to try and learn the game
with. Kage is a character that offers you the opportunity to learn and
easily progress into expert techniques without too much stress and worry.
Kage's move set allows a beginner to move up at a nice and even pace,
learning advanced to expert move sets with just a little difficulty. The
only problem with Kage would be that if you are a beginner and get over
confident with him thinking that you would be able to immdieately take on his
expert moves without learning the basics. It is very easy to think you're
greater than everyone else with Kage's moves, plus the fact that he's a ninja
as well probably has something to do with it too. Just remember to hold back
your overconfidence and make sure to learn the basics properly and progress
at a normal pace. Just alittle but of time in the dojo is all that is needed
with Kage as well. Kage offers up a nice balance of speed and damage. Kage
isn't exactly a defensive kinda character. He has the means of being a
counter character, just not to the extent of Goh. Kage can counter with
strikes and combos which does make him dangerous if you have put in the time
to learn his counters properly. Kage can have an answer for anyone and
anything that you throw at him, just so long as you're not trying to rely on
him being a tank that can easily take damage like it's nothing. An expert
Kage player can become a huge annoyance to anyone. If you push pressure on
your opponent with Kage and take a few breathers to either let them offer up
a chance for a counter or to allow the opponent to give up an opening to push
more pressure onto them and finish them off. One big thing that Kage has
going for him is arsenal of launchers. Kage is by far one of the easiest
characters that can throw people over walls no matter the height. As said
before....Kage has an answer for everything. You can become a true nightmare
with punishing combos and strikes, or you can become the cheesiest guy
around.....either way, Kage can offer up a ton of victories in your books if
you use him to your advantage.

Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I
finally made it this far. This part though isn't written entirely by me...
This part is written by all of you! That's right....no matter what I say or
do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs,
everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each
character. In that respect I give to all of you this section. E-mail in
your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the
given character in the given situation you're in. The only way this
section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok! I know
it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is:
[email protected]
I will give full credit to you that send in your tips and tricks, so be a pal
and help out those around you by contributing to this guide!

(Credits)
- First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass
fighter. I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all
that it shows off. I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now
turning into a Virtua Fighter fan! Way to go Sega, by making an addictive
game like this!
- Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me
to come back and make more walkthroughs. You have no clue how much I missed
doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to
retire from walkthrough writing! Thank you for all the support and e-mails
that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and
that you all wanted to see more. Without the support, I think the drive and
the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago.
- If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then
by all means, shoot me an e-mail at
[email protected]. I'll take
your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can.
You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide.
Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later!
