1. Author's Note
----------
Hey there! Welcome to my Melty Blood Act Cadenza Tohno Shiki Guide
(damn, that's long o.o)! In this Guide, I'll cover his movelists and
strategies that are listed in here so sit back, relax and enjoy!


----------
2. Illegal Blipwah
----------
So far there are scums (like you for instance...) are trying to steal
our work and showing it off in their sites/forums WITHOUT OUR
NOTICE/PERMISSION. That's total bull and of course the most common to
all writers, plagarism. By doing this kind of illegal stuff, I will
remove this guide WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. Oh yeah, Copy and Paste doesn't
save your butt either since I can recognize my format of typing and I
do go on a Google/Yahoo searching if ever some scums plan to steal this
and our other works as well. If you want to live much longer, be a good
boy/girl and don't steal this! It's bad.

4a. Explanation of Movelists

Kirifuda Sono Ichi (Dai Giri)- d,df,f+A,B or C
Shiki dashes and does an upward slash with his knife. As for the C
Version, he does a downward and upward slash then a side swipe which
causes Wallslam.
                              Combo: B- 3 Hits
                                     C- 4 Hits+Wallslam

Kirifuda Sono Ni (Joudan Sukui)- d,db,b+A,B or C
Shiki does a slide kick which can be cancelled into any of his Special
Moves. The C Version does an additional upward slash which causes
Wallslam but if it misses, he won't do his upward slash.
                              Combo: C- 2 Hits+Wallslam

Jibundemo Yoku Wakaranai Geri (Sensou: Rikugyo)- f,d,df+A,B or C
Shiki does an upward kick then a second kick that sends the opponent
down.
                              Combo: A and B- 2 Hits
                                     C- 3 Hits

Chokushi no Magan- b,db,d,df,f+C
Shiki says "Mieta!" then slowly (yes, very slow) dashes, hops through
the opponent and slashes it in a blink of an eye then the background
shatters. Range is somewhat short. Blockable.

Jyuunana Bunkatsu- during Blood Heat Mode, b,db,d,df,f+C
Shiki saya "Korosu" then slowly dashes though the opponent and hacks
the opponent 17 times with just a dash then the background shatters.
The range is short compared to Chokushi no Magan since the jump is very
short. Blockable.
                              Combo: 17 (as the movename
implies...)Hits

But I think Chokushi no Magan and Jyuunana Bunkatsu are unblockable if
you are VERY close to the opponent.

Chokushi no Magan: Kesshi no Ichigeki- during Blood Heat Mode, parry
attack in middle stance
Shiki crouches, does a quick slant slash (with blood) and the screen
shatters (and no, I don't mean your TV Screen...). Causes Circuit
Break.

5. Boss Strategies
----------

5a. Nanaya, Shiki
One word to this guy: Fast. Teleport is his best friend and often does
his sweep kick which ends up to his trust Sensa: Hattenshou (Kyou). If
he, however, teleports upward, perform Jibundemo Yoku Wakaranai Geri to
stun him. Stay on range because more likely he will teleport and punish
you real hard.

5b. Aozaki, Aoko
Cheapness isn't her specialty but staying away does. She mainly casts
Floating Starmine (both in ground and air) to stay away within range.
Before she performs it, get close to her and do a combo (it's up to you
how) on the ground but not in the air or else she'll counter you with
either Floating or Raining Starmine. She's fairly easy.


----------
6. The Seiyuu behind the glasses
----------

roles in game/anime as well.
