2. About this game. (ABO)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Makeruna! Makendo 2 - Kimero Youkai Souri is a fighting game developed
by Datam Polystar and released on March 17, 1995, for the Super Famicom
(Super Nintendo or SNES here); the game was also ported to the
PlayStation 1 by Fill-in Cafe on November 10 of the same year.
This game is a sequel to the Japanese Action game Makeruna! Makendo,
which was localized (awfully) as Kendo Rage, by Seta U.S.A. Removing and
adapting most of the already wacky story for American audiences and
replacing the cover (like Bad Box Art MegaMan).
This game has a prequel in form of an OVA released by OLM on March 25,
1995. The main heroine, Mai Tsurugino, is trying to live as a normal
schoolgirl after the events of the first game. But she's constantly
pestered by Doro, the detective who recruited there then, who needs her
to participate in a youkai tournament. On the other side, Mai's Sister,
Hikari Tsurugino, finds herself thrilled to fight in this tournament and
(after some struggle with her sister), decides to accept the mission.
But it seems that the tournament is hiding something truly evil...
3. In-game Menu translations.
1. Super Famicom version. (TR1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After pressing start, you will be presented with three options:
*[Brackets] mean the text is in Romaji (Japanese with latin characters).
(Story Mode) - Starts the game on the 1-Player only Story Mode, here you
control only Hikari to fight all the other opponents,
plus two Bosses at the middle and at the end of the game.
Here, the point system is also an experience one, so you
must play as well as possible to gather all the EXP you
can and Level Up, this is mandatory to clear the game, as
you start with low stats.
(Vs. Mode)
[Taisen Mode] - This mode lets you play as anyone of the other characters
in a One versus One match. You can also edit the options
and the characters for the battle.
- Upon starting the Vs. mode, you will find the following options, one
for each player:
(Character Select)
[Chara Jibun] - Select your character.
(Character (Opponent))
[Chara Teki] - Select your opponent character (only applicable if
playing vs. CPU).
(Button Setup)
[Button Settei] - Change your control options.
(Handicap)
[Hande] - Here you can change the strength of each character, from 1
(weakest [yowai]) to 8 (strongest [tsuyoi])
(COM Difficulty)
[COM Nanido] - Adjust the AI of the opponent, from Easy [Henachoko
Mode], to Normal [Madamada Mode], Hard [Hidoi Mode], to
Very Hard [Mou shinai Mode].
(Stage)
[Suteeji] - Select the stage of the battle, if the players select two
different stages, the second player's chosen stage takes
priority.
(Time)
[Jikan] - Set the duration of the match, it can be set to 30 seconds,
60 seconds, 99 seconds, or infinite. If there's no clear
winner when time runs out, the player with most Health
remaining wins.
(VS Mode)
[VS Kirikae] - Selects the match type. You can choose from:
- MAN VS MAN (Two human players).
- MAN VS COM (1P vs. COM).
- COM VS MAN (COM vs. 2P).
- COM VS COM (Two computer players, or "Watch Mode").
(Sound Mode)
[Soundo Mode] - Choose your sound option: Stereo [Sutereo] or Mono
[Monoauraru], if the players choose different options,
the second player's choice takes priority.
(End)
[Oshimai] - Confirm all options and start the battle, after you select
this option, you can't change it until the battle is over.
Note that pressing Start anytime will have the same effect.
(Config Mode) - Enters the config mode. You can change the options for
the main mode: adjusting difficulty, battle time,
controls, and sound. See above for details. The fourth
option is the Sound Test [Soundo Test]. You can hear all
the music (first option [kyoku]), sounds and voices in
the game here.
2. PlayStation version. (TR2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*[Brackets] mean the text is in Romaji.
(Story Mode)
[Sutori] - Starts the game on the 1-Player only Story Mode. Unlike
the Super Famicom version, you can now select your
favorite character for Story Mode (in the Super Famicom
version, you have to input a Cheat Code, for more
information, go to the Cheat Codes section below). Every
character has now a different and unique Story Mode, with
some opponents changed. The Level Up system here is
present here, so you must train your character
regardless.
(Vs. Mode)
[Taisen] - This mode lets you play as anyone of the other characters in a
One versus One match. You can only change characters for the
battle here. There are some differences with the Super Famicom
version due to the Config Mode options being moved to outside
this Menu:
- First you will select your Vs Mode from these options:
- USER VS. COM (1P vs. COM).
- USER VS. USER (1P vs. 2P).
- COM VS. COM (Two computer players, or "Watch Mode").
- Then you will select your character and proceed directly to
the battle. Options such as Button Setup, COM Difficulty,
Time, and Sound Mode now must be configured before starting
this mode in the Config Menu. Handicap options are now
disabled (both characters start with his/her maximum life).
And the Stage is determined by the character chosen by the
second player.
(Config Mode)
[Configu] - Enters the config mode. You can change the options for
the main mode: adjusting difficulty, battle time (the
seconds value from 99 seconds was changed to 80
seconds, the other options weren't changed), controls
(including a new option: Auto-Guard, which can be
toggled and is self-explanatory) and for Save/Load your
game (requires a Memory Card to use), and Sound (sadly,
the Sound Test was removed in this version).
4. Fighting basics. (BAS)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As every Fighter game, you must use your attacks and Special moves to
deplete the Health bar of your enemy until it reaches zero. You must win
two of the three rounds to advance to the next fight.
If there's something that is different in this game is the magic system.
Your character can use magic, denoted by the green bar below the Health
bar, this allows your character to increase attack, defense, and actual
Health, or can be used to decrease these same attributes of the enemy.
The magic bar can also be used to launch a desperation attack, and if it
connects, the results can be devastating. You can't recover your magic
until the round ends in the Super Famicom version, so you must plan how
do you want to use it. But in the PlayStation version, you can simply
recharge your magic by pressing the magic button (default R1 in the PS1
version)
For the sake of simplicity, I will use the numpad notation to indicate
directions (when facing right):
So, if you want to do a Dragon Punch motion (or forward, down, down-
forward), the command translates to 6,2,3 (or 623, for further
abbreviation).
Punches and Kicks will be denoted as P and K, respectively.
Light and Strong attacks will be denoted as L and H, respectively.
By default, the buttons are configured like this:
- Super Famicom version:
Y button: LP. X button: HP.
B button: LK. A button: HK.
R button: Magic.
- PlayStation version:
Square Button: LP. Triangle button: HP.
Cross Button: LK. Circle button: HK.
R1 button: Magic.
You can do a backstep by pressing back twice. And you can run forward
by doing the same forward motion twice.
You can grab an opponent by pressing HP close to the opponent, if you
press Back as you do this, you will toss the enemy on the opposite
direction of where you are. Some attacks work as grabs and some
characters execute their grabs differently. Grab attacks are also
unblockable.
Some Special moves require the use of a "Charge" motion, to do this, you
have to press and hold the direction button for a full second, then you
have to press the next directional button immediately after.
You can defend yourself from an opponent's attack by pressing the other
direction on an incoming attack to block it. But you can only block
against attacks that are at your same height (i.e.: you can't defend
against a low attack unless you're defending while crouching).
Blocking Special moves will reduce Health by a far smaller amount than
receiving an attack at full power, but if your Health is too low, you
will lose anyway. Also, some attacks are unblockable and must be evaded
by jumping or doing a backstep.
In the PlayStation version, you can enable Auto-Guard in the Config Menu,
saving you the need of pressing Back (or Forward). You can also perform a
Guard Cancel, by doing a Dash or Backstep during Guard you can cancel it
and create an opening to the opponent.
The Desperation Attack can only be used when a character's Health drops
to roughly 20%, it requires more than half of the maximum Magic Bar to
use. Due to the Magic Bar refilling only between rounds in the Super
Famicom version, you have to plan carefully to use either the Desperation
Attack OR your other magic attacks.
Upon losing a fight, you have the option of continuing where you left
off, without losing your level and EXP. You can continue an infinite
number of times, but only before the timer reaches zero, if you don't
continue you will be returned to the title screen.
5. Character moves.
1. Super Famicom version. (CH1)

broke out to have a rematch with Mai (who won't be participating, much

older brother of the Final Boss of the first game (also called Makenpo),

was tedious, this is ALMOST the Pretzel motion, for
those familiar with KOF and Geese Howard in general.
But this is the most powerful Desperation Move in
the whole game.
==END OF SPOILER==

sent to a youkai prison, she heard about the youkai tournament and
broke out to have a rematch with Mai (who won't be participating, much
to her chagrin). But she was also planning something related to the
mysterious youkai that we saw in the opening...Due to she being a
tennis youkai, she's the only character in the game with two
projectiles. Her grab is a frontal toss.
(Special Moves)
- Rose Shot: 236 + P, her standard service. Either version has the same
power, but the HP version knocks down the opponent.
- Ground Rose Shot: 236 + K, her second projectile that targets low. As
with the above projectile, same power, but the HK
knocks down the opponent.
- Rose Smash: 632146 + P, Makenro rushes towards the enemy and does a
double smash with her racket, the HP version is faster.
- Service Rose: 22 + P, Makenro leaps forward, doing an anti-air move,
complicated to use but very fast, the HP version dashes
from a longer distance. This move is different from the
Super Famicom version (which is a command grab).
= Desperation Move: 23623 + M, Makenro rushes towards her opponent
[Bloody Rose] and performs a bloody 15-hit combo.
* MAKENDO (Mai Tsurugino) (PS1 exclusive) (CHI)
The heroine of the first Makeruna! Makendo, and is coming for her sister
to bring her back home! She uses reformatted moves of her original
attacks of the first game here, and her shinai (wooden sword), gives her
slightly more range than most attacks.
(Special Moves)
- Kendo Ho: 236 + P, the original Kendo Ho, works and damages the same
as her sister's.
- Renda Tsuki: Press P repeteadly, also analogue to her sister's attack,
she attacks rapidly and constantly using her shinai.
- Makka Dash: 22 + P, unlike her sister's, this version travels in a
wider horizontal arc, useful for rushing.
- Tsuremai Ki: 214 + K, Mai launches a quick three-hit rush combo. The HK
version does more damage.
- Super Kendo Ho: 23623 + P, a BIG Kendo Ho that travels farther and hits
longer than the original version, the HP version hits
more times.
- Desperation Move: 23623 + M, Mai rushes towards her opponent to perform
[Mai Ran Hana] a lenghty combo that finishes with a Makka Dash.
==SPOILER ALERT==
* MAKENPO (Final Boss) (CHJ)
The Final Boss for Makeruna! Makendo 2. In this game, he emerges as the
older brother of the Final Boss of the first game (also called Makenpo),
when Mai defeated the first Makenpo, he became the new boss of the
youkai and is trying to conquer both worlds. He uses a form of Kenpo
(Egyptian Kenpo), and his attacks are very powerful.
(Special Moves)
- Judgement Flame: 22 + P, transforms his head into Anubis' and spits
fire, the HP version knocks down the opponent.
- Pharaoh's Harassment: 214 + K, produces a skull and rushes towards
the opponent, the HK version hits up to 10 times.
- Pharaoh's Curse: 623 + P, summons a burning falling skull on his
opponent, the only difference between versions is the
power.
- Flooding of the Nile: 214 + P, lifts his opponent and pummels him/her
repeteadly in the air, at least you don't need
to do a 360 here.
- Burning Fist: 236 + P, rushes towards his opponent with a burning fist,
the HP version hits more times.
= Desperation Move: 23623 + M, rushes towards the opponent and
[Wrath of God] if it connects, delivers a No-holds-barred-beatdown
on him/her, no almost-pretzel-motion here, either!
