Hello there!

Yes it is! The only dificult thing in that game is Amakusa. That Boss is quite hard.

You'll only lose by the timer if you are constantly obsessed looking at it.

Just play free and relax. You can do it. wink

Just focus on hard slashes and quick combos and you should be fine.

Is she harder than Mizuki in SS2? :mad:

I was playing that tonight, and had forgotten how stressful she is. But I slayed her finally - thank you Cham-Cham! drool

Ah, Amakusa's pretty hard, but Amakusa's a he.

Seriously, though, he'll be the opposite type of your character, and he seems a lot cheaper than the normal version. He's pretty cheap too--he can stuff you any time you try to jump in or go after him with a rush.

That doesn't make sense...

The first boss is Amakusa ( the fighter with the crystal ball ), pretty easy to beat. Just wait until he/she commits to a hard slash, then just jump over the crystall ball with your own hard slash...

The second boss boss is Zankuro. This fight can be real hard or real easy , depending on who you use. Just block his attacks and counterattack...

The last boss is your "rival" who reached there after you did. ( i.e. Kazuki - Sogetsu, or Haohmaru - Genjuro ) This is probably the hardest fight of the game but it still isn't too hard... wink

For Haohmaru, use jumping C, close standing C for the first 2-3 CPU chars (they don't block well). For later chars use jumping C, AB dodge to behind, CD combo in the back, 14-hit to rage out.

After that, use the super as soon as you can land it. For Slash, you'll have to CD ground and/or straight ground combo into it (use the setup above if necessary). Bust has a much better super, the BBC combo works.

The damage on Bust's super should allow you to beat the timer pretty easily... if you need a small piece of damage to win remember that you can always do jumping C, AB dodge to behind, standing C. The CPU sucks at blocking this setup even on high difficulty.

Oh and for Amakusa, the setups are so-so but every char has to wait on him a little, he will eventually throw high-recovery moves like crouching C and teleport into your guard crush. For Zankuro, use CD into rage and combo into super all the way. In addition to the dodge setup, you can hit Zankuro with a CD combo from the front as he walks up to you, if timed correctly he will never block this.

What happens if you beat the game under the time limit? Different ending? I haven't been able to beat the game under the time limit either.

I got an extra cut-screen with Wan-Fu. Since my MVS plays in Japanese I missed the quote.

I know Sieger also can make an appearence. They may have it posted on the Net somewhere.
