Revision History
- 3/17/2002
It's been a while. I recently found a big mistake with Hanzo, that other people had complained
about. You know his MozoOtoshi, and the stuff I said you have to do after it... Well, I was
wrong. You can add the mozo otoshi to the end of another throw sequence. Go check it out.
PS: this game still rocks!
- 4/17/2001
Thought I might enter the descriptions for a few moves here and there. Edited my thoughts on
playing against Gandara. Realized that Ukyo's QCB+A does a substantial amount of damage, maybe
worth 5 blocks of damage on the life bar. It's a head hit... Never put much thought to that.
From now on, aim for the head. Aiming for the feet doesn't do much damage. Knees maybe, but
not the feet. I find myself playing this daily; on the other hand, playing Black and White
once or twice a week... (on the bwgame website, I am kazuki, just in case you see me)
- 2/28/2001
After a stint without a hyper - too lazy to work, had to sell hyper for cash - I managed to buy
one again, from vektorlogic, for a lot cheaper than I bought or sold the initial hyper. I have
been messing around with Hanzo more, and updated descriptions, and some actual corrections to
character quotes. Small update, but basically, a warmup before I find the last couple of moves
that I have been waiting to figure out (Hanzo's anti-air throw sequences for example).
- 3/27/2000
More movies made from this game using my tv tuner card. This time, I deciphered the text that
flies across the screen during the intro. It's in the miscelleneous section.
- 3/26/2000
I have played a little more since the last time. Ok, a lot more.. heh heh. By the way,
Culinary arts is not for me, but I'm doing okay trying to find my passion (game writing of
course). This revision includes more info here and there with regard to Kazuki's moves and
fighting against Yuga, as well as a few miscelleneous secrets. :) Also, if you go to my
homepage, at www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~mehdi , and disregard the blantant ripoff of a site
design (retrogames can't sue me, it's a personal web page with no commercial activity) you'll
find three movies from SS 64 2. I include desperations for Bust Kazuki (one of his many) and
Slash Hanzo's desperation, as well as a Shiki and Asura desperation move movie.
- 1/18/2000 So much has happened, loyal readers... All I can say from myself is to follow what YOU want,
and tell people who are trying to influence you to screw off. I spent too long in school trying
to act like a computer science major. Now that I tell my family that I really wanted to study
culinary arts, they act all weird around me. But in other news, I got an email this morning
from a fellow Asura Zanmaden freak, who found some juicey move info with regard to Kazuki (Bust)
That everyone who plays this game should try out.
- 12/20/1999 Well, I found some goodies and they will be in the misc section. Go check them out. Really
sexy stuff!!! Maybe I should also list all the things you can do with Sogetsu and Kazuki in
their possessed stances... Weeelll? Do you want to know this stuff? Ok!
- 11/29/99 After having played the game into the ground and back many times, and fleshing out the faq
quite a lot, I am ready to give it to the public. My major issues in the faq are the quotes and
poses, as well as endings. Any help on these will be greatly appreciated. Also have no clue
about the sudden death duel at the end of a tie...
- 11/22/99 I have just started the faq. I have presently completed only a few characters while leaving
others with just the motions to the moves but no move names. My Japanese reading comprehension,
which was ealier non-existent, is now not too bad, but some of the print for the katakana and
hiragana are so small, and I have no magnifying glass yet. Actually, this is already a hefty
faq, even though it is just a movelist right now... Scary to think how big it might get when I
add descriptions for the moves and the cancellation charts.
- -> Got to clear up: Hanma, Hanzo and Rimururu, as well as some translational stuff, such as "dameji." Also need to add charts for cancellable attacks. Also, there is some kind of funky sudden death for the fourth round (if you get there) don't know what to do yet... Also... Ahhhh so much more left to do.... Oh yeah, I do own this game :)!!! I also have the first SS 64. Both are underspoken, and really do deserve a second look. When you get to the final stage in Asura Zanmaden and face off against the puppetmaster.... phew... I should try to record it into a movie. So fricking gorgeous.
Overview
This faq is a detailed manual for Samurai Spirits Asura Zanmaden. I first played this game during the winter of 1998 in Japan, while travelling with my girlfriend. Whenever I came across an arcade, I would find either Asura Zanmaden or Last Blade 2 (or both!). I was very excited by these games, and after returning to the US, I knew that I would one day have to own these games. Last Blade 2 was easy (although already being a rare cartridge). However,obtaining Asura Zanmaden was an expensive endeavor. In truth, I am not regretful of it. Yeah, word on the street is that this game is going to be ported to the PSX. Well, you get what you pay for, and a port is always a "port" (Piece Of Reprogrammed Trash), so do the game some justice by playing on the original format. Actually, I hope that SNK will take care to release a decent port, because I'll end up getting it regardless. :) This game is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played, and I am very excited about this faq. Some parts of the faq may contain incongruences, such as I might use Slash/Bust instead of Shura/Rasetsu. Just bear with it. I also adopted a format for displaying the motion for special moves that is pretty intuitive. Just imagine your character is facing right, and you should be set. I hope that you enjoy Asura Zanmaden as much as I did. Okay, at least half as much :) *I believe that if you pay attention ot Rurouni Kenshin, there are many character design similarities. Especially if you look at the Enishi chapters. In the author's "freetalk" sections, he mentions doing design for a certain Samurai Spirits game, I wonder if it was this. He didn't say it was Gekka no Kenshi (Last Blade), and Asura Zanmaden characters, such as Enja Kazuki, Gandara, and even Asura have counterparts in the Kenshin series (a series which is heaven's gift to humankind IMHO)... * The PSX release actually sucked by most accounts. It wasn't even Asura Zanmaden, but a sequel to it. Please don't be confused. Anyhow, I liked a lot of the character design, but it proved that SNK is going to have to make major changes if it ever wants to make another good game. BTW, KoF99 characters such as K' and Maxima... don't they look a little too much like those from Daraku Tenshi - Fallen Angels (Psikyo), which came out a year earlier... SNK is having probs.
Background
The days of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Mizuki, and Zankuro have long passed. Things were peaceful until the bodies of dead babies began to disappear. At the same time, a traveling puppeteer was noticed entertaining children. A young assassin girl, Shiki, with one red eye and one blue eye sought for Haohmaru as the body that will host her master. Of course, this didn't work, and so Shiki tried to escape. The master sent his best slave, Asura, to reclaim her. All the other warriors were somehow affected in this, but the main story is about the master's slave, Asura, and his romance with Shiki. Game Intro(translation, as is everything): We all saw the skies are shadowed, the moons hiding, as well as the sun hiding. Darkness comes down, encompassing everything, and becomes a spear falling on today's world. And the corrupting beast once again shows its appearance to our world.
S-C-S Combo System (In progress)
Press forward and CD then AABBCCABC (this one charges the meter for your character if completed) or AAA or BBB of course, the possibilities are much greater, but these are standard for each character.

Character Specific Movelist
ASURA
Probably one of the best character designs of 1998. I'd push to say that as far as 3D
characters are concerned, this guy whips them all. He is clad in black, and bound in chains
and straps. He wields the seven ancient weapons (actually one weapon that transforms into a
bunch of others as he wants). Each "weapon" in Shura mode has the name of a demon, or fallen
angel on it. Like his sword has Lucifer inscribed on it.

Reasons to play as Haohmaru:
1. You never learned how to play as anyone else in the series.
2. You don't feel the importance of showering
3. He's always strong

GENJURO KIBAGAMI
Genjuro
Something happened to his pants in which they now have a beautiful pattern on them. His moves
are not that great now, and actually, he doesn't have many great command moves. Although the
forward + B in Rasetsu is a bit more powerful than most other characters, there isn't much to
work with and I think his learning curve is higher than that of other characters because of
this. Anyone else out there wonder why Genjuro just ins't loud anymore? Not counting him in
the pocket neogeo games :)

NAKORURU
Sports a new hair-do in rasetsu. As in SS4, she uses either the bird, Mamahaha, or
the wolf, Shikuruu. She is cheap, and fights dirtier than a bloodthirsty rat. Her applications
of the Lela Mutsube are evil and she will repeatedly trample you with them before you can even
get up. Ok, off the record- you can cut her arm off. Good!

RIMURURU
Rimururu
Not much change from the previous episodes. She is still annoyingly cute and ridiculously
strong. I actually play her sometimes and think that there are definitely cool parts. Like her
different winning poses with the flute... eh? you didn't know that?

GALFORD
Has a new look where he covers his mouth with his muffler. His shura costume displays a
funny kanji on the back. His Rasetsu mode is basically the same as in from SS3 & SS4, as is his
Shura mode. Although his super, TBC, is dull looking, it homes in on the enemy and ticks off a
good amount of damage if blocked. DDD is actually really fun to watch, as Poppy attacks the
enemy repeatedly (like in SS2) while Galford cheers her on.

SOGETSU KAZAMA
Like his brother, Sogetsu is being possessed by the water god. Looks pretty stupid. Sorry,
that's just my single opinion. I don't like his tatooes as much as Kazuki's. His moves are
all boring or too difficult to connect. The fact that he relies so much on kicks as opposed
to his brother with punches is a silly application of yin/yang that should have been avoided.
Once again, this is just one man's opinion. His Shura version is okay, but the super has no
range now and so when you are desperate, the desperation is going to help like poop. But when
you play him for a while in Rasetsu mode, and connect with every part of his super, you know
that Sogetsu is the man. Even with thoses stupid tattoos...

Kazuki Kazama
Now he (Rasetsu version) is possessed by a fire god Sojaku (sp?) who is gradually taking over
his entire being. Very interesting... He has some extremely powerful moves in Rasetsu. In
Shura, he is basically the same as he was in SS4, which is very good, since that was a fun
character to use.

Desperation |@
Chougakusei | Kazuki reels back momentarily to charge up some fire power, then you can
(crazy spark) | choose his next move: (A, B, or C can be followed by A, B, or C)
----------------------+ A - A series of medium hitting fire punches
| B - A series of low hitting fire punches
O- | / + BC | C - A series of overhead fire elbow drops
O O |
| The following can only be done once per desperation
| D - just stands still, if attacked, he'll explode
| After which he will pause, and you can choose once more from above.
|
| From Joey Hongchuta:
| C+D = pauses, then falls back and then whooom fly forwards and hits the
| opponent in the face with his body (very cool)
| B+D = same as C+D, but this fly upwards first and then down hitting the
| opponent with his shoulder (also very cool)
| B+C = starts walking towards the opponent, if he catches the opponent
| before running out of energy, he will grab the foes neck and boom
| explodes (the 2nd coolest move)
| A+C = he will sort of bend his back down and chasing the opponent, when
| he walks the ground shakes, but I haven't figured out happens if it
| connects (keep running out of strength all the time)
| A+B = he'll do a more powerful version of the standard A move.
| A+D = he'll stand still and watch the opponent, if attacked, he'll will
| begin to chase the opp. (cool soundfx, sound like a train :) and he
| finally reaches the opp. he'll explode and fly up in the air. doing
| major damage. (the coolest move, according to Joey)

UKYO
Still sick, and looking for flowers in dangerous places. His moves are not that interesting
anymore, but he is a skill character now more than ever, and takes some time to master, unlike
on SS2 & SS3. His mousouzankoka has changed so much. Now he runs across and hits twice only.
Then he reads a poem which I will write at the end of the section.

Reasons to play as Ukyo:
He's the strong silent type.
He lost the throng of chicks that used to follow him, but he's still cool.
I can't stop playing as him... been 8 years and I still play Ukyo all the time...
Quotes:
Tsubame Gaeshi -- "Swallow slash!"
Yarusan -- "You bastard!"
Gomen -- "excuse me." (not "I'm sorry" if said during this period in history)
Orukana -- "stupid!"
Madaka -- "not yet..."
Suman -- "sorry."
(desperation Haiku) Shimpuni / Chirishi sakurano /Hakanasaiyo
"In spring breeze
Falling cherry petals
how fragile and sad."
SHIKI
Shiki was introduced in SS64 1 as well, and has since been in both of the SS pocket fighting
games. She has one red eye and one blue eye. She is a slave of Yuga, and she is supposed
to be great with child (maybe it is Asura's...)

Reasons to play as Hanzo
1. You like to win
2. You like to make people leave the arcade crying
Quotes:
[Shura]
(prefight) Onushikoreijo kakawarundenai -- "I recommend you not to be part of this."
[Rasetsu]
(Win 1) - Kantan - "Easy"
Yagyu Hanma
I'm not sure about this, but here is what I see. Hanma is actually two people. One (shura) is
a human and the other (rasetsu) is a robot made of wood and metal (like clockwork smurf). Their
stage from SS 64 1 was inside of a huge working clock (very nice too I must add). They actually
have different names. The robot is named "Karakuri," which is a kind of trick doll. The
human's name, "Tetsuban," means "steel plate." So I think that the Shura version is actually a
mechanic or steelworker of some sort. Both of them rely heavily on their guns. Despite his
silly design with a moronic huge grin, this guy has some really nice moves and is definitely
smiling for a reason.

The S-C-S Combo System, in detail
-------------------------------------------------- The SCS was derived from SS4, where you iitiate a long chain combo, beginning with CD. So for example, every character has CD, A,A,B,B,C,C,A,B,C which will set your rage guage (POW) at max. There is also CD, A,A,A, which does a good amount of damage but knocks the opponent right on the ground. And there is a launching combo, CD, B,B,B, which will launch the oppenent high enough into the air to tack on additional combos and mayhem. Examples of how the SCS can be used to initiate infinites Rimururu: CD, B, B, B, slash, ice freeze, run forward, slash, ice freeze, repeat... Morosumi: CD, B, B, B, slash, qfc + A/B, run forward, slash, QCF +A/B (above two comboes recieved from teckhui1@mbox4.singnet.com.sg) Of course there are probably more characters that have these. If you find others, let me know. Also keep in mind that when you do connect with the SCS combo (CD, AABBCCABC) your opponent will also have a maxed gauge just from blocking your combo.
Mid-Boss : Gandara
-------------------------------------------------- [[Gandara]] is an interesting non-playable character. Gandara is huge. Gandara is purple. Gandara is a really scary looking freak that is also immensely overpowered. However, what some people don't know (excluding the many who will never play Asura Zanmaden), is that Gandara can be avoided. You meet Gandara only between matches 3 through 6 if you meet the following conditions (taken from neogeo.co.jp site): 1. You have passed the second match 2. You have won one round, and lost one to the CPU within: if lost in 3rd match : 36 seconds if lost in 4th match : 32 seconds if lost in 5th match : 28 seconds if lost in 6th match : anytime I don't think that the time noted dismisses the time lost during a rage explosion or desperation. However, I kind of wonder if what really matters in avoiding Gandara is the time you take to pass each scene. For example, I bet that if you take 2 minutes to get ot the 3rd scene, then losing a round in the 3rd scene will bring in Gandara, and so on. Now if you do have to fight Gandara, somethings to think about are: If he puts his hand on the ground, he is preparing to toss a chunk of earth at you. He is also a sitting duck. Use your most powerful strikes (Bust Kazuki or Genjuro can really lay him flat in this moment). If he ducks low with his face to the ground and both arms stretched back, prepare to block, because he will drive forward and low twice. If you get hit by the first drive, you will get trampled on the second.When he begins swinging his arms, he'll swing left, then right, then he'll lauch up high in the air and try to land on you, and then he will bounce.
Boss : Yuga
-------------------------------------------------- In Samurai Spirits 1, [[Yuga]] had one real form, but two stages. In the first stage, Yuga was sitting down and floating. After knocking out the first form, Yuga stands and floats, revealing his full stature. This time around, Yuga doesn't toy with you. He comes in standing, but that doesn't mean he won't reveal anything interesting. Yuga has three forms in Asura Zanmaden. Yuga's first form is a male, which looks just like his final form in SS1, so that would mean his second is... female? Yeah, actually, Yuga is a hemaphrodite of some sort. After you beat his first form, he transforms into a female with tiny black angel wings. During the second phase (after you take off around 10-50% of her life) she'll rise up in the air surrounded by lightning. This is where she transforms again, and her wings grow to full size. Some things that I have learned from hours of playing against Yuga's first form: The first form is pretty simple and you can easily beat him 90% understanding that he constantly over commits on his attacks. Try to keep distance at half screen, to avoid his throw attack. He will do either a massive energy wave attack or do a 2 hit mid-level attack. Just Block either of these two and follow immediately by tapping forward and pressing the B button. This is usually your longest attack, and although it is your most risky, Yuga will not counter this well if you only use it as a counter attack. Don't jump. Only time you should even consider jumping is when he creates a fire circle around himself, at which point he is a sitting duck for a mice jumping attack. Otherwise, be patient and wait for him to make a move. If he doesn't move close enough for you to counter attack, duck for a few seconds and he'll approach you. If you see him ready for the big energy wave, stop crouching, because it hits high. Playing against the second form: This is where I usually end up dying. I have figured out everyone but this bitch. The female Yuga has so much at her disposal that you really can't predict her too well. But I am stupid and stick to a routine that works sometimes if I am lucky. Basically, at the start of the match, I immediately jump at her and attack with B, or any heavy attack. Follow with a standing A, or whatever you can combo in. Then try to crossover and attack her from behind. Repeat crossovers and hopefull you can win. But somethings to really keep an eye out for are her double ground fire balls, whice do great damage, and her fire circle. In the final forms of Yuga, the fire circle is too high to attack through, and it does massive damage. The good thing is that the final forms of Yuga are more open to air attacks, unlike the first. Also keep in mind that midway through her second form, she will transform into the third. When this happens, watch out for the lightning bolts, which have the annoying effect of making you slow or dead (slow if you still live that is...) If she knocks you down, she will still keep attacking your fallen body, and mutilate it so bad that if you can get up, you will not live much longer. For example, after getting knocked down, she does her double ground fireballs, followed by her sweeping wing, followed by her fire ring, after which I am pressing the start button to continue. Definitely a true SNK end boss with regard to how cheap she is. small points: *low block to make Yuga come after you. *If you are blocking a lightning attack, retaliate with an SCS combo or standing B (nothing too slow please). *If you see Yuga rise beyond upper limit of the screen, run forward as fast you can (her desperation move is unblockable) *teleporting behind her is a smart thing *Avoid moves with lag or wind up (Galfords machine gun dog for example, or Kazuki's zetsushoukibashiki move).
Endings (in progress)
-------------------------------------------------- Asura: His passion for the emporer waning and the magic power of Yuga is leaving Kamen no Asura, and Asura is leaving for another world. He touches Shiki's belly where she lies, crying in tears. The woman, trying to say something with the tremble lips of Shiki. But Asura puts his own lips on hers to stop her from speaking anything. He then says, "I am going to the future world. I will wait for you." Shiki: There was a woman walking on the stone steps toward the temple where a man was standing. Shiki saw Haohmaru. He nodded as she stares at his eyes, and a monk comes out to whom Shiki approaches, with a baby in her arms. She hands the baby to the monk and turns around to walk away. The monk says "You woman, why are you leaving the baby?" She says "Because the baby says it wants to. It is for the baby's future." The monk asks how the baby can speak. She responds saying, "The baby doesn't want to be with a cold woman like me, where you only see the early winter, and dead leaves floating in the air. Haohmaru: His long fat sword was splitting Yuga in two. He was in shock and awe, now that he realized the meaning of living life. The man and the woman (shiki) never spoke words for the rest of their lives, but they understood more than ever of their beings. Afterwards, walking on the road he found an abandoned baby. HE wasn't surprised. Nothing could surprise him anymore. He picked up the baby and says to himself, "This guy will be a drinker..." Galford: They were looking over the clear water and Nakoruru is standing there. He asks her, "are you going?" and she says, "yes, I have to."Galford looks at her and says, "don't go." Nakoruru looks back and says, "what?" They stare into each others eyes... Rimururu runs in with Shikuruu and Mamahaha, and Galford walks away from Nakoruru, looking back he says "I always love you," then he looks at Poppy and says, "Let's go!" Ukyo: (Warning, this is a very rough translation) Ok, here I got really confused because after the battle, it says that Ukyo passes out from his sickness and is on the brink of death. However, he wakes up in a weakened state and see a man who he has never seen before, and they talk about this flower that the man gave him to heal him, and then they talk about Kei and Obari(sp?). Didn't make much sense as far as translating goes...
Miscelleneus
The celtic words in the intro: I took the time to capture a video of the intro and pause over the words flashing across the screen. To me, it's just english upside down and backwards. Here's what I got: "THE BLOOD OF DESTINY REBORN NOW CAN'T WRESTLE ME DOWN NO TEAR CAN'T YOU SEE YOUR OTHER SIDE DIFFERENT OR NOT TELL ME WHAT'S YOUR LIMIT" Picking who fights in the demo match: I think the fight is normally between Haohmaru and Genjuro, but the character you earn the title for most wins with takes over the left side character, and the character you earn fastest clear time with gets to be the right side character in the demo fight. During this fight, they display the title holder's initials. Rimmy can't play the flute worth crap: after she(slash Rimururu) wins the whole match (2nd round won in most cases) keep pressing the D button over and over. She'll mess up her tune 9 times out of 10. Seeing the staff roll: Get a straight victory (no losses) agaist Yuga. You can lose rounds against anyone else but Yuga for this to work. This was an interview with one of the game designers in the January 1999 issue of NeoGeoFreak. Q. What is SS 64 II's basic concept and sales point? A. Fighting for spirit and spirit. This time we set damage for parts as parts and body as body, so the damage level is much greater for body hits. The idea is to make players to fear the body hits, and take the match more seriously. The sales point is simple control and many characters. Q. This is the continued version of Samurai Tamashi. Is there a point you pay attention to in the continuation? A. We took the good and the bad of the last one, and reworked them into something easy to play and understand. Q. What was the point that the developers had the most problem with? A. Everything. But it would be mean to just tell you that... In particular, the S-C-S system. We couldn't decide on this and it gave trouble to the programmers. Q. Compared to this work and the last work there seems to be a change in camera work, especially freezes. Is there any reason behind it? A. In 3D we wanted to give a more serious expression of the splitting in half idea. And during the game we did our best to make it flow smoothly. Q. This time you separated Shura and Rasetsu into completely different characters. Why? A. We couldn't make the difference clear in Samurai Tamashi, so now we not only changed part of the moves but also the way they look and their personality. Q. As a part of 3D expression, are there and secret stories behind the 3D characters? A. That sword that Asura has now is very long, but in his first drawings the sword was longer, and when he moved it a little, it would take the entire screen, so we made it smaller. Q. For Yuga characters, there are many garments that expose skin. Why? A. Since Samurai Tamashi design, the director told us to differentiate the Yuga characters, such as Shiki, Deku, Dekuina and Gandara, clearly from the others. And so this time Shiki and Asura are scantily clad. By the way, the fact that they are half exposed is the director's taste. Q. Why is Asura still wearing bondage clothes? A. This is because Asura's clothes have the magic power from Yuga, and after Yuga's power is released, the curse stays. And so Asura cannot take off the clothes. ----------------------+ Contacting the Author | If you find a cool trick or glitch or something neat in ----------------------+ this game, let me know, and I'll credit you in my next update. you can reach me through neo geo.com as wasabi.

Not really the "neogeo" pages or "kof" pages, but the Samurai Spirits pages. Ed Ju comes to mind, as well as the "Drying Pole" Ukyo Shrine. Nowadays, the SS fan sites are few and far between.
