Alright, so I'm playing SS1 (MVS) and having trouble getting those fatalities to occur—by this, I mean slicing opponents clean in half and causing it to rain gold.

Initially, I thought I had this down, but it wasn't until I tried to do this on purpose my entire way through an arcade run that I discovered a road block.

To the best of my understanding you're just required to land a finishing hard slash on an opponent in mid-air, but that doesn't seem to work for some characters—at the time, Kyoshiro was the one giving me trouble.

I spent quite some time looking through FAQs and other places around the interwebs, and thought my problem was solved when I read that some characters couldn't be killed: those characters being Amakusa and—of all others—Kyoshiro.

I figured that this was a programming error, possibly because Kyoshiro shares something in common with Amakusa. (If I remember correctly, some versions of the game involve Kyoshiro as a means to play as Amakusa.)

I gave up on Kyoshiro, but have found myself having the same issue with Gen-an. I have taken every approach in trying to make this happen and came up short—can anyone shed some light on this?

On SamSho 1 close range Hard Slash attacks usually do the trick. Also Hard Special Moves like Slicing uppercuts work. i'm sure someone can explain better that's just how i understood it.

Yeah, I can actually get the blood fountain fairly simple, but nothing seems to trigger the item spill on some characters.
