Tips and tricks
- Beat the entire game in the time limit to see a picture of Wan-Fu or Sieger after the end credits. Who appears is entirely at random though.
- In order to see a special win pose with the puppies, win with a double perfect using Slash Galford. Galford will say, 'Arigato!' as the puppies scamper across the screen.
I'm Not Afraid Of You!
Think you are really good? Tap START 3 times quickly to make your character drop his/her sword. Now show your opponents that the most fearsome weapons are the ones you were born with! Note : a few characters are really hampered by the loss of weapon (e.g. Haohmaru, Kazuki, Sogetsu) and a few are not really affected (Nakoruru, Rimururu, Hanzo).
Sepukku (Suicide)
Press Back, then move your joystick a quarter circle from forwards to down and press START to make your character kill himself/herself and lose the current round (Useless trick? Not quite since you will start the next round with a full rage gauge!).
Silly Name Trick
Now this is weird! At the naming screen input 'AAA' as your name to make your character faint!
