Samurai Shodown 4 Special - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Samurai Shodown 4 Special - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

   Kazuki rushes forward in a *large* wake of flames, ramming 
   into the opponent.  Whether he hits or misses, though, he
   rebounds after the move and lies on the floor, spent.

 BUST 
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
   GurenKyaku                        |   -O | \  + button, then
                                     |      O  O              
   Kazuki launches himself into the  |
   air, kicking with his feet for    |   O- + button, then
   damage.  The proper way to get    |
   the extra hits is somewhat in     |   -O + button (repeatedly)
   question, but jiggling the stick  |
   back and forth as you hit seems   |
   to work just fine.                |                                 
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#! RokudoRekka                       |   | \  -O + A, then
                                     |   O  O
   This is a combination move.  The  |
   first motion makes Kazuki slide   |   | \  -O + B, then
   along the ground with flaming leg |   O  O
   extended, which hits low for      |
   minor damage. The second move     |   | \  -O + C
   makes him do an overhand hammer,  |   O  O
   making the opponent rebound off   |
   the wall and fly back at him.  As |
   the opponent passes back over,    |
   timing the third motion as the    |
   opponent passes directly overhead |
   makes him leap up, do a punch     |
   combo, and then a final sword     |
   strike which hits for MASSIVE     |
   damage.  However, the last strike |
   requires exact timing.            |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#  EnMetsu                           |   O- |  / + button
                                     |      O O
   Kazuki pauses, then explodes,     |
   reappearing behind his former     |
   body.  Hits for fire damage, and  |
   can tick a lot at close range.    |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 *POW Special 
#  EnjaKakusei                       

   Kazuki powers up, creating a vertical column of flame for a 
   few moments.  Within the base of the flame you can see a
   shadowy, demonic likeness of Kazuki.  Once the bonfire ends
   Kazuki slumps over, drained.  (Super Saiyajin!)

***************************************************************************
KAZAMA SOGETSU
After his brother's defection from the clan, Sogetsu is given the duty of
Oinin, and must journey out to slay Kazuki.

[Quotes]
Pre-fight: "Well, I really don't feel like losing to a dweeb like your
            pathetic self!" 
           "Hah!  With a foe like you, this will really be boring.  Have
            at you, wimp!"

Slash  CPU Win: As weak as I thought!
       Vs. Win: Major disappointment, dweeb!
       No Contest: Boy, was that boring!

Bust   CPU Win: Betrayal means pain.  Sad, huh?
       Vs. Win: That's it!  I'm disappointed! 
       No Contest: You just ain't got it!

[Poses]
Slash Pre-fight: Appears as a blue water-image, which solidifies.
Slash 1st Win: Puts a finger to his chin and says, "Shitsurei.  Anmari no
  yowasa ni warai da." (Pardon me.  I can't help but laugh at your
  weakness.)
Slash 2nd Win: Turns away from his opponent and says, "Shoukyo kanryou...
  desu." and turns his head back to face the screen.
Slash Taunt: Tosses his sword away a short distance, smirks and says, 
  "Anata ni awasemashou." (?)

Bust Pre-fight: Spins his sword, sheathes it and says, "Saa, ikimashou
  ka." (Now, shall we fight?)
Bust 1st Win: Lets down his hair, which extends to his ankles, and says,
  "Sono teido to wa... shitsubou desu." (Your degree of skill is...
  disappointing.)
Bust 2nd Win: Pulls out his sword, wipes it with a cloth, spins it and
  sheathes it once more, saying, "Hakanai mono desu... inochi nan te."
  (Such a ?? life is.)
Bust Taunt: Tosses his sword away, runs his hand through the front of his
  hair, and says, "Kore de dou desu ka?" (So how's this?)

No Contest: Does a long series of strong slashes, the dashes through the
  opponent, vanishes with his water teleport, and reappears on the other
  side, saying, "Shini nasai."  (Die.)
Honourable Death: He forms his air-defense bubble around himself and then
  disappears as the bubble pops.

 SLASH
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#! Gekko                             |   -O | \  + slash
                                     |      O  O
   Sogetsu twirls, creating a spout  |
   of water which hits for damage.   |
   When POWed, hits multiple times.  |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#  Fugetsu                           |   | \  -O + button
                                     |   O  O
   Sogetsu flings a slow-moving      |
   bubble of water, which hangs in   |
   the air until he throws another   |
   or the bubble is touched or hit.  |
   When the enemy is touched, the    |
   bubble pops, dousing him and      |
   leaving him open for a hit.  Hold |
   down the button and move the      |
   stick for a small degree of       |
   control over its movement.        |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#  TsukiGakure                       |   |  / O- + slash
                                     |   O O
   Sogetsu collapses into a puddle   |
   of water, then reappears.         |
   A stays where it is, B moves in   |
   front of the enemy, and C moves   |
   behind the enemy.                 |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 *POW Special 
#  Shoha FugetsuZan

   Sogetsu rushes forward with seven quick standing C 
   slashes, then finishes with his ABC animation (a wall of 
   icy water springing from the ground).

 BUST 
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
   ShiZuki (Death Moon)              |   in air, |  / O- + slash
                                     |           O O
   Sogetsu dives forward, grabs the  |
   enemy by the head, and flips him  |
   away.  Hits airborne opponents,   |
   but only to knock them to the     |
   ground (no throw).                |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#  EnGetsu                           |   in air, -O | \ + slash
                                     |              O  O 
   Sogetsu forms a large bubble of   |
   water around himself.  It serves  |
   as a brief air defense, and after |
   it finishes, he can jump up again |
   or perform another move.  It may  |
   only be performed once after      |
   leaving the ground.               |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#! GetsurinHa/chi                    |   | \  -O + slash
                                     |   O  O
   Sogetsu releases one, two, or     |
   three spinning blobs of water     |
   (total depends on the button that |
   is used.)  When POWed, the discs  |
   have homing ability, and spin     |
   back for a second round of hits.  |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#! GetsurinHa/ku                     |   in air, | \  -O + slash
                                     |           O  O
   Same as Getsurinha-chi, except he |
   flings them from the air.  Same   |
   POW homing ability.               |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 *POW Special                           
#  Gessho/SuityuHa                      
   
   Sogetsu does a move *very* similar to Geese Howard's 
   Razing Storm; he twirls, and geysers of water form up and 
   spin around him for a few seconds.

[Poses]
Slash Pre-fight: Shrugs his kimono off his shoulder and says, "Omoshiroi."

  mo naran!" (?)

                                     |
   Genjuro uppercuts into the air    |
   with his sword.  When POWed, he   |

   Genjuro slides forward to slash   |
   up to three times for damage.     |
   The range and speed seem to have  |
   been decreased from SS3, but the  |
   C version still hits behind.      |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#  OukaZan (Cherry Blossom Slice)    |   |  / O- + slash
                                     |   O O

   Genjuro grabs the opponent,       |

   jumps up after them and cuts him  |
   down.                             |

                                     |      O O
   Genjuro slashes at the air beyond |
   him; a second later, a card forms |
   in the same place.  Enemies in the|
   area of the card must block or    |
   take damage.                      |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 *POW Special 
#  GokouZan (Five Flash Rip)          

   Genjuro swings, creating a spinning card which the opponent 
   must block.  If successful, the opponent is carried into the
   air; Genjuro jumps up after him, slashes him five times at
   the peak of the jump, then sends him to the ground.

                                     |   O  O
   Genjuro runs forward to hit the   |
   opponent.  If hit, he slashes him |
   into the air, hitting up to three |
   times for damage.                 |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
#  UraOuka/Shoubu                    |   |  / O- + slash 
   (Cherry Blossom Iris Reverse)     |   O O
                                     |
   Genjuro flings a hanafuda card    |   (hold button to bounce)
   horizontally across the screen to |
   strike the opponent.  If the      |
   button used to throw the card is  |
   held down, the card will bounce   |
   off a blocking opponent and come  |
   down for a second hit.            |

   the area of the card must block   |
   or take damage.                   |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 *POW Special 
#  Ura Gokou (Reverse Five Flash) 

   Genjuro swings, creating a spinning card which the opponent
   must block.  If successful, the opponent is carried up into

   times as they rise and then sending the opponent to the
   ground.

   Haohmaru scrapes the ground with  |

   Haohmaru whirls his sword in a    |
   circle and thrusts up into the    |

   Haohmaru leaps forward, turning a |
   somersault in mid-air, and comes  |
   down with his sword in a heavy,   |
   earthshaking slash.  Hits high,   |
   and should be blocked for all 3   |
   'ticks' of the move.              |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 *POW Special 
#  Hiougi TenhaFujinZan (Top Secret Heaven Constraint Blast) 
                                      
   Haohmaru performs six KogetsuZan in a row on the ground, and 
   finishes with a high vertical one.  Identical to Slash's POW
   in SS3.

   Haohmaru pauses (briefly), then   |
   rushes forward to ram with his    |
   shoulder for damage.  There is a  |
   noticeable pause at the beginning |
   of the move now, though it is     |
   still possible to combo moves     |
   with it.                          |

   Haohmaru scrapes his sword along  |
   the ground, kicking up a stunning |
   spray at the opponent.  No more   |
   infinite combos with this move--  |

   Haohmaru pauses with sword in a   |

 *POW Special 
#  Hiougi TenhaDankuRetsuZan (Top Secret Heaven Cruncher)

   Haohmaru does a short single-revolution Kogetsuzan (no upward
   thrust and not much forward motion).  If the opponent is hit,
   a giant whirlwind sweeps him into the air; Haohmaru leaps up
   after him and sends him to the ground with a heavy downward
   stroke.

#  TsubameRokuRen (Tsubame Six Flash)

   Ukyo flings an apple and hops forward across the screen.  If he
   hits the opponent, he performs a six-revolution Swallow Swipe on
   him; this move crosses over if the opponent is at a certain distance
   (about a third-screen away).

   Ukyo pokes forward with his       |
   scabbard; the end of the sword    |

   the opponent is caught, he is     |
   drawn in and repeatedly slashed   |
   (up to 32 times total!)  This has |
   excellent priority, taking people |
   out of air moves and normals as   |
   well as catching them off-guard   |

#  MusouZankoKa (Flashback Flash Blast) 

   Ukyo runs forward, sword trailing behind him and glowing as in   
   the Spider Thrust.  If he connects with the opponent, he blurs
   rapidly around him, pulling away and slowly resheathing his sword.
   Once he does, the opponent is rocked with every cut at once
   (different from SS3) and sprays a huge gout of blood into the air.

***************************************************************************
KUBIKIRI BASARA
With the resurrection of Zankuro, Basara's rest is rudely interrupted, and
he must destroy both the summoner and the summoned in order to finally
achieve eternal peace.

Pre-fight: "With this crazy blade, let the bloodfest begin!"
           "The chimes of nightmares peel (sic) through the air.  The
            battle begins!"

Slash  CPU Win: Blood marks Heaven's path!
       Vs. Win: Yah, hah, haaaah!
       No Contest: Darkness's maw opens!

Bust   CPU Win: You don't scare me.  Waah!
       Vs. Win: Kagaribi...where are you?
       No Contest: Kagaribi, joy, joy!  The pyres burn!

[Poses]
Slash Pre-fight: Leaps up from a portal of blackness in the ground, then
  lands and goes into combat stance.
Slash 1st Win: Twirls his blade in his hand, then spreads his arms, saying,
  "Kodobura rarikite ukenai!" (?)
Slash 2nd Win: Kagaribi's ghost drops into his arms, and he laughs.  She
  then crumbles away into a skeleton, which fades, and he screams, dropping
  to his knees.
Slash Taunt: Laughs, drops his weapon and says, "Kowakunai yo!" (I'm not
  afraid!)

Bust Pre-fight: Appears, crouching, from a portal on the ground.  Kagaribi
  floats around him for a moment, then vanishes as Basara calls her name.
Bust 1st Win: Tightens the metal band on his wrist and says, "Ukeireru nara
  shini wa shinai!" (Accept the end and true death will not claim you!)
Bust 2nd Win: Laughs, then transforms into the shadowy form of a bat.  A
  portal opens beneath him and he vanishes as several smaller bat-shapes
  fly out.
Bust Taunt: Laughs, drops his weapon and says, "Boku no tokoro ni oide!"
  (Come to me!)

No Contest: Grabs the opponent, like in the Friendly Rip, and drags him/her
  down slowly, blood flying everywhere.  He then reappears from the top of
  the screen as the portal closes.
Honourable Death:  He slashes his own neck.

   Basara grabs forward in a hugging |
   motion, crying, "Kagaribi!" (his  |
   lover's name).  If he grabs the   |
   opponent, a portal opens, sucking |
   them both down.  An instant later |
   the enemy is ripped out of the    |

   Basara throws a slowly-moving orb |

   if it hits, but its use is very   |
   limited (except as air defense?)  |

   Basara skips back and then does a high hop forward at the

   many blows as Kagaribi's ghost floats around him; the last
   hit is a vicious Shadow Exit (see Bust version) which knocks
   down.
