TRIVIA
- Holding File:Snkc.gif during the motion for the Tsubame Roku Ren will make Ukyo throw a large apple instead of the normal small one. This does not affect the damage of the attack.
- Ukyo has an exclusive pose when he wins while unarmed.

MOVE LIST
SHURA
| TSUBAME GAESHI |
| File:Qcf.gif + File:Snka.gif or File:Snkb.gif or File:Snkc.gif |
| In the air, Ukyo flips and unsheathes sword onto opponent's head. |
| HIKEN SASAME YUKI |
| File:Qcf.gif + File:Snka.gif or File:Snkb.gif or File:Snkc.gif |
| Ukyo tosses an apple,then unsheaths and repeatedly slashes back and forth while moving forward. Can juggle, so try using this after a CD, BBB combo. Apple splits in neat pieces after Ukyo resheaths. If performed as File:Qcf.gif + File:Snkd.gif, then Ukyo will fake the move. |
| TENSO NO KAMAE |
| File:Hcb.gif + File:Snkc.gif |
| Ukyo crouches in preparation for either high or low attack. Slow to get going, I recommend practicing this for timing, so that you can get people as they start to stand up. |
| AMATSU KAZE |
| (after TENSO NO KAMAE) File:Snka.gif |
| Ukyo jumps up and attacks from the air |
| SHIMO KAZE |
| (after TENSO NO KAMAE) File:Snkb.gif |
| Ukyo slides across and attacks from below. I find this move more reliable than the Amatsu Kaze. |
| NADARE |
| File:Dragonmove.gif+File:Snkc.gif |
| Ukyo draws sword and charges for an unblockable two hit attack. Slow. Do this if you have a death wish. |
| SHUNMUNIRENGE |

| TSUBAME ROKU REN |
| File:Dragonmove.gif+File:Snkb.gifFile:Snkc.gif |

| File:Qcf.gif + File:Snka.gif or File:Snkb.gif or File:Snkc.gif |
| In the air, Ukyo flips and unsheathes sword onto opponent's head. |
| ASANAGI |
| File:Dragonmoveb.gif + File:Snka.gif |

| YUUNAGI |
| File:Dragonmoveb.gif + File:Snkb.gif |
| Low level sword catch - catches sword and slashes. |
| OBOROGATANA |
| File:Qcf.gif + File:Snka.gif or File:Snkb.gif or File:Snkc.gif |
| Slow and difficult to connect all parts. Result leaves you wondering why you even tried this move. |
| NADARE |
| File:Dragonmove.gif+File:Snkc.gif |
| Ukyo draws sword and charges for an unblockable two hit attack. Slow. Do this if you have a death wish. |
| MUSOU KASUMI |
| File:Qcb.gif + File:Snka.gif - hits high (head hit, most damage) |
| File:Qcb.gif + File:Snkb.gif - Hits mid level (medium damage) |
| File:Qcb.gif + File:Snkc.gif - hits low (feet, low damage) can also hit fallen opponents on
ground |

TRIVIA
During Rasetsu Ukyo's desperation, he recites the following haiku:
Shimpuuni
Chirishi sakurano
Hakanasai
roughly translated to:
In spring breeze
Falling cherry petals
how fragile and sad.
