Ib.     Yoshimitsu's Story
       ----------
    There once was a ninja clan that was massacred at the hands of a vengeful
lord.  Yoshimitsu, the sole survivor of that clan, swore to avenge the fallen.
He did not give up even after losing his right arm during an encounter.
Yoshimitsu traveled across the sea, following a rumor about an ultimate weapon.
    When he finally reached Europe, he came upon a series of mysterious
killings
that wreaked havoc and spread terror across Europe.  This reminded him of his
clan, and thus changed his plan.
    Yoshimitsu followed the trail of the mass murderer to Ostrheinsburg
Castle, but the castle was empty of any signs of life.  After Yoshimitsu had
left the castle, he sensed the presence of a sinister force in his katana.
Yoshimitsu left on a journey to quell the negative energy within the sword.
    But unexpectedly, someone stole the sword.  Knowing that only misfortune
would resultif the cursed sword fell into the wrong hands, Yoshimitsu traveled
the continent in search of his weapon.
     During his travels, he devoted himself to serving the weak and
underprivledged.  Four years passed, and Yoshimitsu devised a scheme to plunder
treasures in order to give money to the poor.
    The tomb Yoshimitsu infioltrated belonged to a man known as the "Merchant
of Death."  He was able to reach the traesures, without encountering the
rumored guardian of the tomb.  And there he found his long-lost sword, along
side a metal fragment that emanated the same evil energy as his katana.
    He left his tomb with his sword and metal shard in hand.  If there was
other things that possess the same evil energy within, it was up to him to find
them and rid them from this world.  Without a doubt in his mind, Yoshimitsu
left on a journey.

        ----------
II.      How Do I Play as Yoshimitsu?
        ----------
   In order to play as Yoshimitsu complete the last mission in the second
chapter. After you defeat Yoshimitsu he will be a playable character.

        ----------
III.     Move List
        ----------
    For the Move list this will be the set up,
                       Move Name
                       Command
                       Attack Level
                       Damage
                       Special Notes about the move
    If one of these slots arew empty for a move that means that there is no
Command, Atk Lvl, Damage ect.
This is how the Attack Level goes,
      L= Low attack
      M= Middle attack
      H= High attack
    Directional Butons will also have a special set up. Here is the key to
the Directional Buttons,
                        >= Right                  ^
                        <= Left                <-    ->
                        ^= Up                     d
                        d= Down
    I also must make another statement, (Thanks to Nonexistent Guy) the moves
change after you do a Soul Charge.

IIIa.    Stances
        -------
    All stance moves need to be put in while in the stance. First you need to
input the stance move. At that point Yoshimitsu will enter the stance. While
