Hi all,
I was away from home for quite a few days so I didn't really work on this
FAQ until now. I have decreased number of characters per line so hopefully
the print outs will be fine now. Many things have been updated especially
the Character&Weapon specific move section but it sure looks like the move
list is far from complete. The game definately has some crazy variations
between the characters and weapons. I personally only focus on practicing with
one or two characters with one or two weapons per character because I found
that it's very difficult to switch to a character who you have never played
before. Timing, moves, stradgies, etc are totally different for each char
for each weapon... Anyway, as usual, if you have anything to add to the move
list, feel free to email me. The way the move list is layed out is probably
confusing but I really am not sure how eles it should be done...

General Questions and Information:
- How to get the CG ending instead of a black screen of text?
In the game, you must follow the Bushido honor code when
defeating your opponent which means do not touch your opponents
while they are still talking (don't bump into them or throw your
sub-weapon at them either); do not kill your opponents while
they are laying on the ground; do not kill your opponents while
they are running away from you. There may be more
restrictions but I think you get the idea. ^_^
- How to get the 2nd ending for the game?
It does not matter whether you are playing on easy or hard.
First of all, after the game started, you should run to the well
at the construction yard. (The one you see your character jumps
in if you play the game normally.) After you have arrived the
construction yard, injure your opponent's leg then jump in the
well. After this, you just need to complete the game normally
and you will end up fighting one extra boss after the person you
normally would fight last. *NOTE* you have to go through the
game up to the extra boss without getting a single scratch on
your character. It is okay to continue fighting the extra boss.
