So, if you didn't pick up 6.0 up from a site, you'll see a few changes. The major reason for this release is the new Kuroko section. Enjoy! Any comments, suggestions, or corrections are welcome. Send them to my address at rfj105@psu.edu. This move list is ftp archived, courtesy of Gamepro's Andy Eddy. The ftp address is "ftp.netcom.com", in "pub/vi/vidgames/faqs". My faq is labeled as "samsho2.mov" Andy's site is mirrored at "cencongopher.concordia.ca", by ftp or gopher. The site is maintained by Paul Schwartz, and the good stuff is in "pub/JustTheFaqs/VideoGames". GeeSe Howard also has a copy of this list at his excellent NeoGeo site, which contains everything you've ever wanted to know about NeoGeo games and systems. The address is "kaiwan.kaiwan.com", in the "/user/dvillnva/" directory. FAQs are in the "neogeo_faqs" directory, with mine labeled "samsho2.mov" You may also find this FAQ in the Fighting Games Archive maintained by Dave Kirsch. You'll find everything on fighting games from FAQs to fan art here. The address is "ftp.krl.caltech.edu". You can find my work in "pub/fighting/ss2" as "SamuraiShowdown2.moves" Finally, if you paid any money for this list, you were suckered. This is free information, so distribute widely. However, the art and layout of this list is copyrighted, so please do not use without my permission. Thanks. ======================================================================= Basic Moves: Slash: A Weak Slash B Medium Slash AB Strong Slash Kick: C Weak Kick D Medium Kick CD Strong Kick - Double tap forward on joystick to run. - Double tap backward on joystick to hop back. - Fake a retreat tapping twice back, then once forward. The char will jump back, then immediately charge forward. - Double tap joystick diagonal down to roll forward or backward. Rolls go under many normal attacks and projectiles. - Double tap joystick straight down to lie flat, to avoid attacks. - Press BC for a small jump backward. Forward BC jumps straight up. - Taunt your opponent when out of range with either AC or BD. No power or energy is affected by a taunt. - If dizzy, shake the joystick to regain your senses quicker. - Push the start button during a match to deny challengers. Push it again to accept them. ======================================================================= Weapon Notes: - Blocking an attack at the last possible moment will cause the attacker to freeze briefly. - When both players go for an attack at the same time, they may lock weapons. A shoving match ensues, in which one or both chars may drop their weapons. Pressing the slash buttons helps to break the lock. Using the joystick, you can push on the opponent, or pull away. It is also possible to kick the other character. - All broken weapons return after a five second delay. Restored items will fall from the sky and stick in the ground nearby. - When weaponless, you are able to catch the opponent's weapon and throw. Just move the joystick in a semicircle toward the attacker. No button press is needed. ======================================================================= Unique Character Traits: - People who have the ability to bounce off walls are: Earthquake, Hanzo, Galford, Nakoruru, Cham Cham, and Gen-An. When jumping close to a wall, push the joystick away to jump off. - All moves are diagrammed as if facing right and on the ground, unless otherwise noted. - If "Slash" or "Kick" is used in place of a specific button, assume that the strength of the move is determined by the strength of the button used. - "Power Special" moves will only work when the power meter is full. Some characters may also need their weapons. Besides doing a sizable chunk of damage, this move will also break your opponent's weapon! Power Specials will not drain the special meter, unless they hit. - "Super Deformed" motions make your characters look like they belong in children's anime. You cannot move, but you also cannot be thrown. To change back, your character must be hit or do a special move. This can lead to some interesting strategies... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cham Cham, with her chimp Paku Paku ,_ Special Moves ____________________________________________________, | | \ -O Slash Forward 'rang | | O O Boomerang streaks forward | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | | / O- Slash Upward 'rang | | O O Boomerang flies diagonal up | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O \ | / O- C Pakupaku Deos | | O O O Paku Paku spins forward on his | | fingers, legs extended | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O \ | / O- D Mura Gaburu | | O O O Paku Paku tosses a small skull | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O \ | / O- CD Paku Gaburu | | O O O Paku Paku jumps up, and spits a | | rising fireball | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O \ | / O- (2x), C Super Deformed | | O O O | |____________________________________________________________________| ,_ Throws ___________________________________________________________, | -O B, AB, D, or CD Back Scratcher | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | | \ -O Kick Leaping Scratch | | O O Can also catch aerial opponents. | I____________________________________________________________________I ,_ Power Special ____________________________________________________, | -O O- / | \ -O A Lion Rush | | O O O A ferocious Cham Cham grows | | Earthquake size, and charges! | |____________________________________________________________________| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Charlotte ,_ Special Moves ____________________________________________________, | / | \ Slash Power Gradation | | O O O A rising energy slash | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Tap Slash Repeatedly Splash Fount | | Charge with rapid thrusts | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O | \ Slash Sword Flash | | O O Toss a triangle | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O \ | / O- (2x), D Super Deformed | | O O O | |____________________________________________________________________| ,_ Throws ___________________________________________________________, | -O B, AB, D, or CD Kick throw | |____________________________________________________________________| ,_ Power Special ____________________________________________________, | -O \ | / O- -O B Splash Gradation | | O O O Charlotte slashes in the form of | | a seven pointed star | I____________________________________________________________________| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Earthquake ,_ Special Moves ____________________________________________________, | (in air) | CD Repeatedly Fat Bounce | | O Bouncing butt attack | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Tap Slash Repeatedly Fat Chainsaw | | EQ disappears in a puff of dust, | | and reappears as a buzzsaw | |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | -O O- / | \ -O A = Left Mirror Images | | O O O B = Right He disappears, and two solid | | images of EQ puff up from dust. | | The real position of Earthquake | | is determined from the button | | used.

No one has a sure way of playing against computer Kuroko as of yet. However, it is possible to play as Kuroko! Many, many thanks to GeeSe Howard for revealing this code. He always has the latest (and greatest) info for the NeoGeo. NOTE: FOR HOME NEO GEO MACHINES ONLY! Does NOT work in the arcade. :( To play as judge Kuroko, you must play a TWO player game. On the char selection screen, on the FIRST player side, move the joystick: O | O- O | -O + A | O | O You only get to play one battle with him...whoever wins the fight gets a "Game Over" screen afterward. (So, he has no ending...) Kuroko's weapon (flags) cannot be broken by any means. Some of his special moves draw on other characters from other Neo Geo games.
