---------------------------- WAYS TO DEFEAT DARK(CPU) AMAKUSA -----------------
-------

Jump forward , Slash , jump back + Slash or Kick , jump forward , slash ....

1.Most likely , when the player jump forward , slash , Amakusa will warp away.
Be patient , and do not jump when he is close , the CPU will use heavy slash as

anti-air attack against player .
2.Do not attempt to jump and attack Amakusa when he jumps ! He will be faster t
hen
human player ,and most likely he will use middle or heavy slash against player.
3.When Amakusa use Dark Destruction(he become a flame ball in the air),
dash away to the side and block,then attack him.

Other ways ---
Slash Basara : from far , RDP+S ,Amakusa will warp to player , throw him(fw or
bk +C)when he
               is about to stop , then heavy slash him.
Slash Sogetsu : from far , DP+C , Amakusa will most likely be hit , rapeat this
when he get up.


---------------------------- WAYS TO DEFEAT CPU ZANKUROU ----------------------
--

For those characters which jump C is long range slash ,
at corner , jump , C , jump ,C .....
Zankurou will try to attack with heavy slash or Muhouken , but he will be hit
when character jump ,heavy slash .
Some time ,Zankurou will be near enough to deliver his upward heavy slash when
player jumps,
try to get away when he is too near (use sidestep ,fw+AB to move to his back).
when timer reach around 20 below , Zankurou will just block , so time Zankurou
out by
jump , C ,..repeat.

For all characters ,
crouch block , when Zankurou attack , block , then counter with Multi Slash .
or when ZanKurou is about 1/2 character space away , use multi Slash .
Do not let him come too close or he will throw player ,then attack with his God
Sword Crush.
Try to get away when he is too near (use sidestep ,fw+AB to move to his back).

Other ways ---
Bust Shizumaru : jump,up+S (Deadly Drizzle),then S (ThunderStorm),Zenkurou WILL
NOT block this.
Amakusa : from far , stand heavy slash , Zenkurou will not block this (?).
Bust Genjurou : QCB+hold S ,rush + B , backaway , QCB+hold S ......
