3.12 - Sanada Kojiro
--------------------
STORY:
Sanada Kojiro is captain of the Shinsengumi Unit Zero. Loyal to the end,
he and the Zero Squad sternly uphold the law. However, about six months
ago, the Zero Squad's investigation into Hell's Gate abruptly became
Washizuka Keiichiro's solo mission.
It was at this time that the renegade, Shikyoh, escaped. When many of
their number were lost in the battle with him, the Zero Squad began to
question their purpose; however, the investigation into Hell's Gate
drove them on.
And so, a great and lonely wolf journeys to Hell's Gate, in order to
restore the troops' faith, and defeat their nemesis, the renegade.
Age: 28
Style: Tennen Rishin Ryuu
Voice: Nakaya Satomi
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:
Kojiro is (despite some confusion) a female. Period. See her ending for
all the proof you need. Regardless, she is not as immediately powerful as
Washizuka, but she has several options at her disposal. Like Washizuka,
her B projectile is only moderately useful, and only as an annoyance
attack, as it's too slow to combo. Given her completely and utterly
worthless Super Cancel, she seems to truly excel in Speed Mode. She has
one of the best attacks in the game, and a solid air defense as well, so
she is quite flexible.
Special Notes:
- In Power Mode, BC can be held until Kojiro flashes. When released,
it can be Super Cancelled out of if connected.
- In Speed and EX Mode, fwd+BC results in a stronger version of the
move, which sends the opponent higher into the air, resulting in
easier juggling attacks.

3.13 - Setsuna
--------------
STORY:
A creature who appeared through Hell's Gate after the incident with
Kagami was resolved. A powerful spirit of the underworld, his physical
existence began by claiming the body of an infant, killed in the ravage
of battle.
Setsuna, who may be considered a symbol of the cursed fate of the
underworld, has the beauty and vitality of a young man, but his spirit
and soul are the blackest evil. His hatred for life is all-encompassing,
from the cursed spirits of the underworld to the creatures of our own
reality.
And so he walks our earth, with vengeance against all life festering
within his soul.
Age: 20 (outward appearance)
Style: Unknown
Voice: Yamauchi Keisuke
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:
Setsuna is a very strong character, but he takes some work. As he lacks
any kind of distance attack, his strengths are in getting close to deal his
damage. Anonymity - Three is an excellent surprise move for turtlers, as
it's fast and must be blocked high, but it shouldn't be overused. He has
only moderately strong air defense. Anonymity - Five should be used any
and every time the opponent gives him breathing room. That single hit that
it stops can easily change the outcome of the match.

Moves:

| Anonymity - One (Mumei - Ichi)
|
| \ -O + A/B | Setsuna slashes downward, leaving a
O O | large arc of electricity. B version is
| slower to come out, but does notably
| more damage.
|
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| Anonymity - Two (Mumei - Ni)
|
-O | \ + A/B | Setsuna crouches and lunges forward with
O O | his sword, then leaps up into the air.

|
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------

|
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| Anonymity - Five (Mumei - Go)
|
-O \ | / O- + C | Setsuna holds up his sword and an
O O O | electrical charge runs through his body.

|
(followed by) | Anonymity - Five Continuation

[DESPERATION MOVE] |
| \ -O | \ -O + AB | Setsuna holds his sword above his head.
O O O O | When AB is released, he swings downward
(can be held) | as in "Mumei - Ichi" with a much larger
| arc and greater damage.
|
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| Anonymity - Ultimate (Mumei - Kyoku)
[SUPER DESPERATION MOVE] |
-O \ | / O- (x2) + B | As in "Mumei - Yon," Setsuna holds his
O O O | sword out, but several bolts of
| electricity strike from the sky, and
| his Super Armor lasts around 10 seconds.
|
(followed by) | Anonymity - Ultimate Continuation
| (Mumei - Kyoku no Tsui)
|
O- / | \ -O + AB | While flashing gray, Setsuna will
O O O | perform a short waist-level punch. If

| runs his hand along along it, smearing
| blood, then holds an orb of energy.
| He crushes it in his hand, and the
| glass shatters while the opponent
| stumbles, taking damage. Performing
| this move cancels the Super Armor.

3.14 - Takane Hibiki
--------------------
STORY:
During the Bakumatsu era, there was a master bladesmith by the name of
Takane Genzou. His fame was such that those who knew his name were
innumerable. He eventually retired to a rural area, isolated from the
public, but continued his smithing with his beloved daughter, Hibiki,
by his side.
One day, a silver-haired man visited the Takane house, and requested
that Genzou fashion a sword for him. The swordsmith found himself
bewitched by the man's depth and purity of evil, and could not even
consider refusing him.
As she returned from an errand, Hibiki couldn't help feeling strangely
uneasy about the silver-haired man. Genzou had eventually created a
sword which would be called "Yasomagatsu Hinotachi," or "Blade of
Eighty Days," so named for the amount of time required to craft it.
However, the effort had made him quite ill, and forced him to bed.
"This is the fault of that man," he told his daughter. "Though I cannot
approve of such actions, go and find that man and the sword. The thing
that I saw... what I felt... even you must understand." And with these
words, Genzou breathed his last.
Although confused by her father's final words, Hibiki gathered her things
and left the house behind. Three days later, Amano came to ask Genzou to
repair the "Otokomae," his weapon.
Age: 17
Style: Musou Maden Ryuu
Voice: Hikami Kyouko
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:
Hibiki is a highly technical character, one that will take much practice to
properly master. Most of her moves have a great deal of recovery time
associated with them, but only if they completely miss. If they are
blocked or they connect, then she recovers quickly. She has the most
effective punishing super in the game, but she lacks solid air defense and
high air priority. Definitely not a character for those who wish to be
able to rest on their laurels. Her speed is her greatest asset, so use it.

|
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| Beckoning Slash (Chikayori te Kiru Nari)
|
-O | \ + B (hold) | Hibiki runs forward until the B button
O O | is released, at which time she dashes

3.15 - Washizuka Keiichiro
--------------------------
STORY:
Many had died in a natural disaster, much like that which occurred
during the earlier incident with Kagami. Before the dark clouds parted,
Washizuka Keiichirou left to continue investigating Hell's Gate.
Several men returned to the surface after the earlier investigation. Half
a year has passed since that time. Their investigation revealed that
they must seek out a girl known as the "Sealing Maiden." To find her and
to learn the truth, Washizuka set out for Hell's Gate.
Age: 26
Symbol Item: Shinsengumi uniform, named "Truth"
Style: Tennen Rishin Ryuu Hayabusa
Voice: Konishi Katsuyuki
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:
Truth be told, Washizuka hasn't changed much. The only new thing he has
is a followup to his Wolf Fang. This followup, however, gives him much
greater flexibility and makes him hard to defend against. His charge
times are still short, and in order to succeed against him, one will have
to play aggressively. He's been given an excellent high-low game in this
incarnation.
Special Notes:
- In Power Mode, BC can be held until Washizuka flashes. When released,
it can be Super Cancelled out of if connected.

|
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| Foolish Flurry (Koku Satsu)

3.16 - Yuki
-----------
STORY:
After the incident with Kagami, Kaede left for Hell's Gate with Okina's
instructions. He would see if there was a way to seal the gate as Okina
had said. The instructions spoke of the a girl known as the "Sealing
Maiden," who would use the Four Gods' power to hold the Sealing Ceremony.
While Kaede sought to find the Sealing Maiden, Yuki faced one question.
To answer that question, Kaede and Yuki departed, without speaking a
word. At the time they set out, the necklace she had worn since
childhood, the one that was with her when she was first adopted by
Gaisei, began to resonate with light.
Age: 18
Symbol Item: Snowflake and Necklace
Style: Kasshin Nagayara Jutsu
Voice: Nishigawa Hatsuki
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:
Despite being the focus of the story in several respects, Yuki has not
improved with age. Her new Desperation Move is both unimpressive and
rather weak. She has gained a counter move, at the cost of her projectile
reflector. Her projectile has been sped up, but most of her other moves
now have a greater degree of lag on them.

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| Glacial Sequoia(Juuyou)

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
| True Frozen Whirlwind (Shin YukishiMaki)
|
[SUPER DESPERATION MOVE] | Yuki spins her spear above her head,

3.17 - Zantetsu
---------------
STORY:
Having taught his dear grandson all that he could, Zantetsu leaves his
village, know that he will never return. He feels his time left on
earth can be measured in scant hours. The long years of fighting and
the ravages of age have taken their toll on his body. To allow his
last flower to bloom, he journeys once more to Hell's Gate, where men
and women of strength gather...
Age: 52
Symbol Item: Bamboo hat and cloak
Style: Ninjutsu
Voice: Ootomo Ryuuzaburou
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:
Zantetsu is still as deadly as ever. Though he's received something of a
makeover and his projectile has been turned into his Desperation Move, he's
still quite capable of dishing out lots of damage. His special throw can
now be done in midair, and on the whole, he can be a very difficult
character to catch off-guard.

| Devil Drop (Tenma Otoshi)
|
(close) -O \ | / O- + C | Zantetsu wraps the opponent in his cape
O O O | and vanishes, reappearing at the top of
