There are definitely less moves per character from what I've seen. Nonetheless, I will try to have a full movelist for it by around mid-to-late April. The names of the moves are just descriptive, so if there are any official names for these moves, let me know. One more thing: this is my first serious attempt at a FAQ, so if anyone wants to use any of the information here in another FAQ or guide please give me some credit, OK? :) ver 0.1: First run. Only the general moves and katana moves are up. -----------------------------------------------------2 KEY O = horizontal attack X = vertical attack f = forward b = back d = down u = up [a],[b] = [a] then [b] (ex: f,f) [a]+[b] = [a] and [b] at the same time (ex: f+R2) In the stance order section: - [Starting stance], [next stance], [last stance] ...where [Starting stance] is the stance he/she starts a match in, and [next stance] is the stance you get when you change stance. When you change from the [last stance], you get the [Starting stance] again. -----------------------------------------------------3 GENERAL MOVES O - horizontal attack X - vertical attack Square - change stance R1 - hop (taunt for gun-users) R2 - duck During duck, O - throw sub-weapon During duck, X - throw dirt L1 - run During run, O - attack During run, X - attack L2 + R1/R2 - camera zoom in/out (1st-person mode only) Select - surrender (re-load gun) f,f - step forward b,b - step back u,u - step to background d,d - step to foreground R2,R1 - jump After jump, O - stab After jump, X - spinning attack (Gun users can't attack after a jump) When knocked down: f - get up f + O/X - wake-up attack b - roll back b + O/X - roll back, attack u - roll to background d - roll to foreground -----------------------------------------------------4 PARRY SYSTEM -----------------------------------------------------5 CLAYMORE -----------------------------------------------------6 KATANA Stance order: ------------- Kannuki - High, Forward, Back Mikado - Back, High, Forward Tatsumi - High, Back, Two-Sword Utsusemi - Back, Two-Sword, High Hotarubi - Forward, Back, High Matsumushi - Forward, Two-Sword, High Suminagashi - High, Forward, Back Nightstalker - Back, High, Forward Sazanka - Back, High, Forward Hokkyuko - High, Forward, Back Gengoro - High, Forward, Iai Kaun - Forward, Back, Iai Joe - Back, High, Forward Chihiro - Back, High, Forward Isohachi - Forward, Back, High Utamaru - High, Forward, Back Hongo - Forward, Back, High Tony - Forward, Iai, High Highwayman - High, Forward, Back Katze - High, Forward, Back Forward Stance: --------------- f + O - lunging overhead strike f, f + O - thrust stab f + X - lunging vertical strike f, f + X - low strike f + R2, O - stab f + R2, X - low slash O, X, O X, X, X Back Stance: ------------ O - quick strike f + O - lunging quick slash f + X - lunging upward swing f + R2, O - stab f + R2, X - low slash X, X, O X, O, X X, O, O High Stance: ------------ f + O - lunging quick strike f, f + O - lunging overhead strike f + X - lunging vertical swing f, f + X - lunging vertical strike f + R2, O - stab f + R2, X - low slash O, X, b, O O, X, X X, X, O Two-sword Stance: ----------------- O, X, X O, X, O X, O, O X, O, X X, X, O X, X, b, X X, X, f, X Iai Stance: ----------- NOTE: Characters cannot crouch or hop when in Iai Stance.
