Basics ---------- Block: 1/4 Jump: 7/8/9 Crouch: 1/2/3 Move Backwards: 4 Move Forwards: 6 Hop Backwards: 44 Dash Forwards: 66 Light Slash: Press A lightly Hard Slash: Press A normally Dodge: B Kick: Jump, B Dash Attack High: 66 A Dash Attack Low: 66 B Defense-Downer: 6 Hard Slash Your character will grab his or her foe and push him or her back, lowering defenses for a moment. This move is much, much, MUCH more useful than it was in Samurai Shodown IV. This move will ensure a connecting combo or SUPER ATTACK! It's a great move for collecting the cards. Throw-Down: 4 Hard Slash Your character will grab his or her foe and toss him or her to the ground on the other side. This isn't too useful unless you are backed into a corner and want to turn the tables. Parrying: Press 6B to parry high Press 2B to parry low EXPERT ONLY!!!!!!! If you aren't a very good player with lightning- fast reflexes, don't try this! You will lose all of your battles. Parrying is similar to Street Fighter 3. If you see your opponent attacking, execute the proper command and you will stun your foe. The stun in Samurai Shodown! 2 lasts longer than the stun in Street Fighter 3. This will leave your opponent open to punishment. Super Attack: 462 A at full POW Unlike in previous Samurai Shodown games, Super Attacks DO NOT DISARM THE OPPONENT. Also unlike previous games, even if your Super Attack misses, your gauge returns to nothing. They still do a great deal of damage, though. Some characters' Super Attacks require a follow-up attack to deal full damage. More will be said on this later. RAGE Explosion: AB The RAGE Explosion turns your POW gauge into a RAGE gauge which slowly depletes. Its length depends on your health at the time of execution. As long as some of the RAGE gauge is left, your Super Attack can be executed at the cost of a little bit of the gauge. After the RAGE gauge is all gone, your POW gauge is lost until the next fight (not round, but fight!) Final Slash: AB during the RAGE Explosion This attack has your character run across the screen very fast and perform a very powerful slash. Its damage is around the damage of a Super Attack. This is blockable. This is great as a follow-up to a parry or a defense-downer. Samurai Combination System starter: 4B, followed by... Half Gauge filler: A, A, A This combo is not too damaging, but fills half of your POW gauge. I find this a much better deal than the SSIV ones. Remember CD, 6A, A, B, B, C, C, A, B, C, C, C, C, C? I use the Half Gauge filler a lot. Pusher: A, B, B The Pusher Combo is the least useful of the pack. It's damaging, but doesn't really DO much. The other two are a better value and are easier to do. This is only good for an in-your-face opponent. Juggler: B, B, B Follow it up with an uppercut special! This is a great setup. You can get a lot of damage out of the Juggler. It looks stylish, too. ---------- 3.

Cards ---------- 1 star = Common = C 2 stars = Uncommon = U 3 stars = Rare = R What do they do? Each character and personality has four cards. One increases power, one increases defense, and two add or enhance moves. If Yuga is the only secret character, there are 120 cards. How do I get them?
