===============================================================================
1. Introduction
===============================================================================

Hello and welcome to my guide to Okuni from Samurai Warriors 2. This is my
first time writing a guide so I hope I do alright for a first timer.

October 19- Version 1 Complete.

===============================================================================
2. Quick History
===============================================================================

This is copied directly from this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okuni

Okuni (1572?-1613) was the main founder of kabuki theater. She was a miko at
the Grand Shrine of Izumo who began a new style of dance in the dry riverbeds
of Kyoto.

Check the said site for more detailed information.

===============================================================================
3. Unlocking Okuni
===============================================================================

Unlike most characters Okuni has to be unlocked through a minigame. That mini
game is called Sugoroku. While I myself do not like this game, the easiest way
to win is to collect your flags as fast as you can while buying as many
territories on the way.

NOTE: I myself did not unlock Okuni, it was my brother.

===============================================================================
4. Stats
===============================================================================

Okuni’s starting stats:
Title Ingenue
Life 117
Musou 89
Attack 90
Defense 91
Ride 86
Speed 98
Dex 94
Luck 105

Okuni’s maxed stats:
Title
Life 291
Musou 267
Attack 184
Defense 185
Ride 172
Speed 158
Dex 154
Luck 200

===============================================================================
5. Moveset
===============================================================================

I admit, Okuni doesn’t have the best moveset, but here it is nonetheless.
S stands for normal attacks, by default it is the [] button
C stands for charge attacks, by default it is the /\ button
Those in brackets mean additional hits.

Okuni's Battle Stance

Okuni stands up straight, slightly shifting side to side. She holds her
umbrella with both hands as it is pointing off to her left side downwards.

1) Normal Attacks

S - A swing from the left to the right.

SS - A swing from the right to the left, causing her to turn around.

SSS - Another swing from right to left.

SSSS(SSSS) Okuni opens her umbrella on her shoulder and spins around several
times ending with an open umbrella thrust. The final thrust is
elemental and pushes back.

2) Charge Attacks
I will also put down the shorted name for the charge attacks, it's a quick and
easy way to refer to the various combinations of normal and charge attacks.
(Ie TTT = C1, STTT = C2)

T(TT)(C1) Okuni throws her umbrella forward and it spins around in front of
her as she walks forward, sort pushing the umbrella as she goes
along. Pressing T constantly will keep the umbrella out longer then
normal. The first and last hits break guard, the second and last T
are elemental.

ST(TT)(C2) The first T Okuni kicks the nearest person in front of her upwards.
The second T has her jumping up and whacking them while in mid
air, keep pressing T to keep whacking. The last T she opens her
umbrella and the enemy simply bounces on top of it. To finish
things off, the very last attack will knock the enemy a short
distance away and create a shockwave upon landing. The second and
last T are elemental, as well as the shockwave created by the enemy.

SST(TT)(C3) For the first T, Okuni opens her umbrella in front of her, stunning
any unguarded enemies. The second T she sweeps low, knocking those
in front. The last T she stabs her umbrella to the ground, opens it
and jumps and twirls above it, creating a small whirlwind and lands
a short distance away. The second and last T are elemental.

SSST(TT)(C4)The first T Okuni knocks any unguarded enemies in front of her
straight up. The second T she opens her umbrella and any enemy that
lands on it will end up bouncing onto it for a few hits, keep
pressing T for more hits. The final T she throws the umbrella
around her, hitting enemies a short distance away while ignoring
the ones close to you. All three T's are elemental.

3) Special Moves

Okuni's Special Stance

Okuni opens her arms to either side of her as she holds her umbrella with her
right hand. She dances a bit back and forth.

R1+S Okuni swings the umbrella as she turns, stunning anyone nearby,
eventually opening it on her shoulder, a small orb surrounds Okuni and
any ally hit by it (except 2 player) will gain a random stat boost for
10 seconds (attack, defense or speed) or a Life Up + 50.

R1+T Okuni turns around and looks in front of her with her back turned.
Then power comes from her feet stunning any unguarded enemies while
giving them increased attack but low defense for a short period of time.

4) Musou

Musou is a special attack that renders you invincible. You first need to fill
up the bar under your Life by at least 1 level. It is activated by pressing the
O button (in default settings). By holding the O button you can use a
character's Musou unique attack, one that repeats itself until the Musou ends.
By merely pressing it, you are allowed to use that character's normal and
charge moveset to replace the regular Musou attack.

There are a total of three levels of Musou, but only level 1 is needed to be
ready to be used. Level 1 is the weakest level of Musou, Level 2 is stronger,
Level 3 is still stronger and is accompanied by special effect depending on
the character.

True Musou is when you activate your musou while your health bar is red, or you
have a certain skill. True Musou is adds power to whatever level you activated
on and gives your attacks an added fire element. True Musou's also gives you
an added attack at the end. Double Musou is very similar to True Musou only with
lightning element.

O Hold Okuni throws her umbrella and it flies around her in circles. Only
those a certain distance away will get hit.

O Tap Okuni activates her Musou and awaits your command.

Level 3 As her Musou is active, orbs appear around her and give random
support effects to any allies that are hit by it, much like her R1+S

True Musou She ends the Musou with her SSTTT attack.

5) Other Attacks

Jump S A quick swing in front of her

Jump T She dives to the ground umbrella first creating a shockwave to
hit surrounding enemies.

Jump + Jump Okuni does a mid air flip and opens her umbrella, allowing her to
float slowly to the ground, you can move Okuni as she is floating
down.

Horse SSSS Okuni swings her weapon back and forth on the right side of the
horse, ending with her holding it straight out and opening and
closing her umbrella several times.

Horse T Horse stomp, if you’re moving fast enough it becomes a jump. Both
of which creates a shockwave that hits surrounding enemies.

Horse ST A hard swing that send opponents straight up a little bit launching
enemies in the air

Horse SST Another hard swing, but stuns enemies.

Horse SSST Okuni throws her umbrella around the horse, hitting enemies a
short distance away from her.

Deadlock Bonus - This attack can only be achieved by conquering the enemy in a
deadlock. A deadlock is when you and an enemy (usually a
general) push against each other with your weapons. A bar
appears to tell you who would win, red is the enemy and blue
is you. Press the attack button to increase the blue, the
more blue there is the better chance you have of winning.

If you’re even, you and the enemy stagger. If there's more
red, you stagger. If there’s more blue, you make the enemy
stagger. If you fill the bar with blue, you initiate a bonus
attack, hence a Deadlock Bonus attack.

Okuni whacks the enemy around with the umbrella a few times,
then she stabs them in the gut. The umbrella stays there for
a second before she pulls it out. The enemy will fall on their
knees then all the way to the ground.

(Coming Soon)

===============================================================================
7. Weapons
===============================================================================

You initially start off with the Umbrella with no added bonuses. But as you
play the game you will eventually get more weapons and bonus stats along with
them. The first three weapons come with random bonuses and can go up 7 extra
empty slots, those slots can be filled by buying random upgrades from the store.

To get the fourth weapon you must fulfill certain requirements, which I’ll
explain below.

Umbrella
Base attack: 19

Dance Parasol
Base attack: 28

Scorned Moon
Base attack: 36

Raging Sun
Base attack: 44
Element: Fire
ATK + 19
DEF + 20
DEF + 17
SPD + 17
DEX + 20
DEX + 19
RNG + 18
RNG + 17

===============================================================================
8. Raging Sun
===============================================================================

Complete "The Traveling Dancer" mission in Survival Mode on any floor above 60,
and defeat Keiji Maeda as Okuni.

Preparation:
I would suggest maxing out Okuni first, the conditions are simple enough but
the execution isn't. Get a good third weapon, one with moderate attack and
defense bonuses (20+ each should do).

I recommend you max out the following skills at least:
Vitality Increases your Life
Potence Increases your Attack
Fortitude Increases your Defence
Sickle Get more Critical Hits
Rage Musou Gauge fills faster
Cutthroat Every 100 KO's restores life
Fitness Powerup items have more effect
Gluttony Healing Items have more effect

You should be able to buy them at the store, just go to Free Mode, select
Okuni and Shop. If they're not there go back to the character select screen
and repeat. It's up for you to get the rare skills, as they will really help
you out.

A bodyguard your choice, I'll let you decide on this one so as to best suit
your fighting style.

The Traveling Dancer
On the first floor you'll see a computer controlled Okuni, there's some dialog
and then you can go up the stairs.

The following 3 floors have you go through a lord and his sub officers. You must
defeat the sub officers to make the lord appear and defeat the lord after them.
All the while you must keep the CPU Okuni alive, the stairs are open but don't
go through them until you defeat the said lords.

The sub officers tend to go for you as soon as the floor starts. Beat them along
side Okuni to make sure she doesn't die, use your R1+S, or better yet Level 3
musou, to help out the CPU Okuni. If the lord goes after you, then stay by
Okuni's side and wait for him. If the lord doesn't, then go and beat him as fast
as possible because the CPU Okuni has a tendency to stay back and fight,
eventually she'll be overwhelmed and you'll lose your chance at the weapon.

There are times when you'll get the same thing twice, don't worry though, just
complete it as usual.

Lords

Hideyoshi Hideyoshi appears first, unlike the other lords, and goes after
you. Once you meet him, Nene appears to help him out against you.
You need to defeat both of them then continue on.

Tokugawa Tadakatsu first appears, after he is beaten Tokugawa stays at the
stairs. Go and finish him ASAP.

Nobunaga Ranmaru goes after as soon as you start, once he falls then
Nobunaga shows up but stays near the stairs. Go and kill him.

Shingen Before you can make Shingen appear, you'll need to defeat 6
generic officers, all of which seem to use spears. Then Shingen
shows up and goes after you.

Kenshin Kanetsugu shows up, beat him and Kenshin comes after you.

Now on the fifth floor of the mission, if you did everything right you'll see
Keiji comment on two Okuni's. Then you'll have to help him against your former
ally, the other Okuni. After she is taken care of Keiji will challenge you.

Just getting through this is one thing, Keiji is another. There's no easy way
to beat him, nor can I tell you any strategy, just do it any way you know how.

===============================================================================
9. Quotes and Special Quotes
===============================================================================

Officer defeat "I hate getting my hands dirty"

100 KO's "Would you like an encore?"

Musou Quote "Care to dance?" *Musou* "Phew."

True Musou Quote "May I cut in?" *Musou* "You're too kind."

Victory "Thanks for coming, I hope to see you again soon."

Special Quotes

Whenever Okuni encounters a playable officer, she has a small conversation with
them. I believe some have more then one depending on the stage. Also some stages
have say something about a certain location too.
