Personal Notes
   I made this FAQ because I want to share information. That's all.

   I am a 15 year old Japanese so I'm pretty sure about the
   names of the characters.

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

THE 9 ORIGINAL GENERALS

There are a total of 28 characters.In this section, I am going
to introduce to you the first 9 generals that are playable

I also included some combination attacks. They can deal a
good amount of damage. Unfortunately, the enemy generals can
sometimes block them.

But first, here are my FAQ notations:
       Regular slash: R
       Charge attack: C
       Special attack: S

*These 4 combos with Charges to end them are universal for all the
characters in the game:
       RC
       RRC
       RRRC

*I will only note the DAMAGING combos of the characters who I
think most of you use.

Musou mode with all the possible characters. Im still going to
verify this.

like one of these characters, too bad cause you can't power
them up.

2. Increase your character's stats
       -As long as the character you are using is playable in Musou
       mode, keep on using him and get the attack and defense
       power ups the enemy generals give when they die. Eventually,
       you will be able to maximize all the stats of your character
       and become as strong or stronger than that sucky RYO-FU.


Sorry. There are still so many things to do but I don't have the time
to write them , for now. I'll update this FAQ ASAP.
