So as long as you've asked me, yes, you can put it up on your site. The sites above are the ones that don't have to ask to use them. Bushido is copyright Squaresoft 1996/7. Please do not leech any of this to make your own FAQ out of it. Unless you have MY permission DO NOT take anything at all from this guide. Don't edit, don't do anything to it and submit it without e-mailing me with permission first. You can print it out, but only for personal use, no selling this! Summing it up, do anything for your own personal benefit (apart from reading it) without asking me, AND YOU'LL BURN IN HELL!!!!! ---====================--- To get in touch, e-mail me at dc3131@yahoo.com.au My ICQ# is 34601221 My webpage is http://www.dcmagus.com My MSN contact is dcmagus@hotmail.com, but any email sent to that address will most likely be ignored, as I don't check that account My AIM name is dcmagus Be warned that I'm only on the net twice a week, don't expect replies from me which are ten minutes after you've sent the mail. Here's some guidelines about sending me mail: 1.Make sure you put the title of the game you're asking about in the subject. I've made a fair few FAQs, and it's a bit hard to work things out sometimes. 2.If it's an FAQ, make sure that it's not already in the guide!!! If it is, I'll do my best to ignore it. If it's not in there, make sure that the details you provide are, well, DETAILED, and not sketchy. Examples are "Hi need to know how to get past this part, i'm in a room and stuck", I need to know where you are, etc. 3.Ask nicely. So far, most people have, but if your mail goes along the lines of "Hi, need code for B2, reply within the next hour otherwise I'll bomb you" will not get you anywhere. That's it. Sorry for being a pain, but it had to be said. ---====================--- Version History v0.5-Listed some moves, and how to get to the well. v0.51-Copyright Notice changed. v0.52-Copyright Notice changed. v0.53-Copyright Notice changed. v0.54-Seems like a waste of time, but I like ASCII art headings =) v0.55-Copyright Notice changed. v0.56-Copyright Notice changed. v0.57-Copyright changed. v0.58-Copyright changed. v0.6-Removed unneccessary stuff. v0.61-Added some guidelines on e-mails. v0.62-Name change! 1)Introduction 2)How to Get to the Well 3)The Bushido Code of Honour 4)Characters + Moves 5)Acknowledgements --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1)Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, it's a bit strange writing up a guide for a game which was out yonks ago, but this game deserves the effort. With another quality fighting game to their name, Tobal, Square decided to release this excellent game. For once, you could say it's realistic fighting. Instead of taking damage and adding it all up, if you get hit in the arm, it falls off. Get a leg chopped off, and you'll limp for the rest of the battle. It's very fun. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Legend: --------------------------------------------------------------------- F-Forward B-Back U-Up D-Down T-Triangle O-Circle X-Cross S-Square --------------------------------------------------------------------- General Moves: --------------------------------------------------------------------- T - High Attack O - Medium Attack X - Low Attack S - Block S,R2 - Roll Backwards F+R2 - Kneel, pick up weapon F+R2,R2- Throw Dirt F+R2,R1- Jump U/D - Sidestep B,B - Jump back Select - Surrender L1 - Run R1 - Higher Stance R2 - Lower Stance When crouching: T - Lunge O - Slash X - Sweep S - Block R1 - Stand R2 - Fall F+R2 - Throw Dirt F+O - Throw Weapon --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2)How to Get to the Well --------------------------------------------------------------------- There's two endings for each character: one is achieved by defeating all your enemies normally, the other is achieved by going to the well and fighting in there. Here's how to get there: *You must wait for your enemy to show up before going on to the next area, and follow the Code of the Bushido* -Run all the way up the road and through the tunnel. -Go across the bridge, turn left and climb up. -Go forward, into a new area. -Go forward, turn right and past the building. -Drop down into a new area. -Climb into the bamboo. -Get up the ledges. -Jump over the fence, into the mud. -Go forward, drop into the water/ice. -Cilmb up, head left. -Jump/climb the stairs. -Head up the path, exit via the corner. -Climb up into the new area. -Jump into the well. You'll get it downpat after a couple of times. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3)Bushido Code --------------------------------------------------------------------- Being a bushido game, you have to observe the code when fighting. This means: 1. No smacking your opponent when he's lying on the ground. 2. No whacking your opponent in the back. 3. No slicing your opponent when they are climbing a wall to get away from you. Sucks, huh. 4. No beheading your opponent before they are ready. Why are their speeches so long anyway? 5. No blinding yout opponent by throwing something at them (dirt, snow, etc.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 4)Characters and Moves --------------------------------------------------------------------- I've just named the moves after what they look like =) Red Shadow She is the second fastest character in the game. She is best used with the lighter weapons such as the saber and the long sword. Her agility is her main weapon, and use that to the full. ------------------------------- Broadsword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,X- Reverse Double Chop OO - Double Cross XX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Slash OO,X- Double Slash and Sweep ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing Back OT- Slash and Chop TT - Double Chop Lunge OO - Twirl Cut and Stab ------------------------------- Sledgehammer ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Smash TT,T - Triple Smash TT,T,T- Quadruple Smash OO - Smash Smash ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OT - Crush Smash OT,O - Double Crush with pause TT - Double Smash ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Sweep and Smash TT - Lunging Double Smash ------------------------------- Long Sword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TX - Double Assault TXT - Triple Assault OO - Double Stab FFF - Defense BBB - Defense ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Sidestep Double Cross OO,O- Sidestep Triple Cross TX - Reverse Chop BFO - Lunging Cut FFX - Roll and Sweep FT - Somersault Slash ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing XT,T - Bigger reverse upswing TO - Drum Back OT - Cut and High Lunge Back OO - Cut and Lunge Stab FFX - Sidestep Sweep BBB - Defense ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- FR2R1X - Flying Upswing BB -Somersault BBB-Double Somersault ------------------------------- Nodachi ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,FT - Triple Chop OO - Dropping Double Cross XT - Sweep and charge TX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Chop OO,FT - Double Cross and Chop BFOO - Upswing + Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing TX - Chop and sweep OO - Double Cross ------------------------------- Katana ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Quick Chop Cut OT - Cross Cut and High Strike XT - Sweep and Chop BTT - One-step Pass ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Cross OO,FO- Triple Cross TO - Chop, Slash TO,T - Chop, Double Slash BTT - One-step Pass BFOO - Bat and Stab BFOT - Bat and High Strike ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- TX - Chop and Sweep OO - Quick Double Cross XO - Underhand Chop and Lunge ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- F+R2 R1X - Rising Strike F+R2 X - Crouching Sweep ------------------------------- Naginata ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,T - Triple Chop OO - Double Cross ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OX - Slice and Sweep AO - Chop, Poke ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- BFTO - Double Stab BFTOX - Triple Stab OO - Slash, Stab TX - Reverse Double Chop XO - Sweep and Lunge ------------------------------- Rapier ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Slash and Stab OO - Double Stab XO - Low Stab, Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- TX - Double Stab TX,T - Triple Stab TX,T,O - Triple Stab, Lunge TX,T,O,O - Triple Stab, Lunge and Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XO - Trip and spin TT - Double High Strike ------------------------------- Sabre ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Chop, Slice TOO - Chop, Double Slice OO - Double Slash OO,T - Double Slash and Chop FFF,O - Rolling Cutter ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- XT - Stab and Spin XT,O - Stab and Double Spin OO - Double Slash OOT - Double Slash and Chop OOT,X - Flip Mania ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- TT - Twisting Double Chop FXO - Double Slash FXOT - Triple Slash OX - Easy Rolling Cutter ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- F+R2X -Somersault Chop ------------------------------- Tatsumi ------------------------------- Utsusemi's son is very, very quick and agile (he's the fastest character available), but he lacks power. But when using the saber and the rapier, he's so fast that you won't need much power at all. ------------------------------- Broadsword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop OO - Double Cross XX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Slash ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing TT - Double Chop Lunge ------------------------------- Sledgehammer ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Smash TT,T - Triple Smash TT,T,T- Quadruple Smash OO - Smash Smash FFT - Somersault Smash ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OT - Crush Smash OT,O - Double Crush with pause TT - Double Smash ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Sweep and Smash TT - Lunging Double Smash BFO - Crashing Spin ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- F+R2T - Somersault Smash ------------------------------- Long Sword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TX - Double Assault TXT - Triple Assault OO - Double Stab FFF - Defense BBB - Defense ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Sidestep Double Cross OO,O- Sidestep Triple Cross TX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing XT,T - Bigger reverse upswing TO - Drum Back OT - Cut and High Lunge Back OO - Cut and Lunge Stab BBB - Defense ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- FR2R1X - Flying Upswing ------------------------------- Nodachi ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,FT - Triple Chop OO - Dropping Double Cross XT - Sweep and charge TX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Chop OO,FT - Double Cross and Chop BFOO - Upswing + Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing TX - Chop and sweep OO - Double Cross ------------------------------- Katana ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Quick Chop Cut OT - Cross Cut and High Strike XT - Sweep and Chop BTT - One-step Pass ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Cross OO,FO- Triple Cross TO - Chop, Slash TO,T - Chop, Double Slash BTT - One-step Pass BFOO - Bat and Stab BFOT - Bat and High Strike ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- TX - Chop and Sweep OO - Quick Double Cross XO - Underhand Chop and Lunge ------------------------------- Naginata ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,T - Triple Chop OO - Double Cross ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OX - Slice and Sweep AO - Chop, Poke FFT - Lunging Upswing ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- BFTO - Double Stab BFTOX - Triple Stab OO - Slash, Stab TX - Reverse Double Chop XO - Sweep and Lunge ------------------------------- Rapier ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Slash and Stab OO - Double Stab XO - Low Stab, Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- TX - Double Stab TX,T - Triple Stab TX,T,O - Triple Stab, Lunge TX,T,O,O - Triple Stab, Lunge and Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XO - Trip and spin TT - Double High Strike ------------------------------- Sabre ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Chop, Slice TOO - Chop, Double Slice OO - Double Slash OO,T - Double Slash and Chop BFOOOO- Stab Mania ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- XT - Stab and Spin XT,O - Stab and Double Spin OO - Double Slash OOT - Double Slash and Chop OOT,X - Flip Mania ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- TT - Twisting Double Chop FXO - Double Slash FXOT - Triple Slash XT - Flip and Stab ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- F+R2X -Somersault Chop ------------------------------- Mikado ------------------------------- Mikado is a well balanced character. At first glance you'll probably think, hey, she'll do well with the Katana/Long Sword, but she really canes with those bigger weapons, especially the Naginata and Nodachi. She's pretty fast with those weapons, so she's a great choice. ------------------------------- Broadsword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,X- Reverse Double Chop OO - Double Cross XX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Slash OO,X- Double Slash and Sweep ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing Back OT- Slash and Chop TT - Double Chop Lunge ------------------------------- Sledgehammer ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Smash TT,T - Triple Smash TT,T,T- Quadruple Smash OO - Smash Smash ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OT - Crush Smash OT,O - Double Crush with pause TT - Double Smash ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Sweep and Smash TT - Lunging Double Smash ------------------------------- Long Sword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TX - Double Assault TXT - Triple Assault OO - Double Stab FFF - Defense BBB - Defense ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Sidestep Double Cross OO,O- Sidestep Triple Cross TX - Reverse Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing XT,T - Bigger reverse upswing TO - Drum Back OT - Cut and High Lunge Back OO - Cut and Lunge Stab BBB - Defense ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- FR2R1X - Flying Upswing ------------------------------- Nodachi ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,FT - Triple Chop OO - Dropping Double Cross XT - Sweep and charge TX - Reverse Chop FFT - Short Lunge and Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Chop OO,FT - Double Cross and Chop BFO - Bat BFOO - Bat, Slash ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XT - Reverse Upswing TX - Chop and sweep OO - Double Cross XX - Double Slice ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- F+R2 - Leap and chop ------------------------------- Katana ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Quick Chop Cut OT - Cross Cut and High Strike XT - Sweep and Chop BTT - One-step Pass ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OO - Double Cross OO,FO- Triple Cross TO - Chop, Slash TO,T - Chop, Double Slash BTT - One-step Pass BFOO - Bat and Stab BFOT - Bat and High Strike ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- TX - Chop and Sweep OO - Quick Double Cross XO - Underhand Chop and Lunge ------------------------------- Any Stance ------------------------------- F+R2T - Leaping Chop ------------------------------- Naginata ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,T - Triple Chop OO - Double Cross FFTO - Lunge, Chop, Slice TT,O - Double Chop + Slice ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- OX - Slice and Sweep AO - Chop, Poke FOO - Double Stab BFO - Shaking Stab FFT - Lunging Upswing FOOO - Triple Stab BFTX,R1X - Mikado Special ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- BFTO - Double Stab BFTOX - Triple Stab OO - Slash, Stab TX - Reverse Double Chop XO - Sweep and Lunge FFT - Spin Strike BFO - Flying Upswing BFTOXO- Four Points Stab ------------------------------- Rapier ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Slash and Stab OO - Double Stab XO - Low Stab, Chop ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- TX - Double Stab TX,T - Triple Stab TX,T,O - Triple Stab, Lunge TX,T,O,O - Triple Stab, Lunge and Chop ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- XO - Trip and spin TT - Double High Strike ------------------------------- Sabre ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TO - Chop, Slice TOO - Chop, Double Slice OO - Double Slash OO,T - Double Slash and Chop FFF,O -Rolling Cutter ------------------------------- Middle Stance ------------------------------- XT - Stab and Spin XT,O - Stab and Double Spin OO - Double Slash OOT - Double Slash and Chop OOT,X - Flip Mania ------------------------------- Low Stance ------------------------------- TT - Twisting Double Chop FXO - Double Slash FXOT - Triple Slash ------------------------------- Black Lotus ------------------------------- He is the most balanced male in the game. He's got great speed and is pretty powerful. Now, you probably think he's great with the Nodachi and Naginata. Well, think again. His power lies in the Long Sword, Broadsword, and the Rapier. ------------------------------- Broadsword ------------------------------- High Stance ------------------------------- TT - Double Chop TT,X -
