[. . . ] WARNING: READ BEFORE USING YOUR PLAYSTATION®2 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games, including games played on the PlayStation 2 console, may trigger epileptic seizures in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. [. . . ] This will increase your attack power for a certain amount of time. Tengu Herb: This is a medicinal herb that Tengus secretly grow. A certain amount of health is recovered with it. DEFENSIVE POSTURE When you hold down E the characters will adopt a defensive posture and turn to face the nearest enemy. While in this defensive stance, the characters will take little damage from enemy attacks. However, your characters will become vulnerable if they try to stay in Defensive Stance for too long. NORMAL ATTACKS Normal attacks are performed by pressing F. If you attack while jumping, you will perform a midair attack. Attacking while pressing a direction on the left analog stick will make Yoshitsune aim his attacks in that direction. SPECIAL ATTACKS Special attacks unique to Yoshitsune or Benkei can be performed by pressing D. If you press D while pushing the left analog stick in a particular direction, holding down E or jumping, you will perform a unique special attack. COMBO ATTACKS If you chain together normal attacks by repeatedly pressing F, you will initiate a combo attack. Benkei's combo attacks will vary depending on whether he is wielding his fauchard or club. While wielding his club, he will not be able to initiate a combo attack until his third consecutive attack. DODGING/SHOULDER-BLOCKING By simultaneously pressing S and E you will perform a special defensive action unique to your player character. Yoshitsune will evade enemy attacks by dodging. Benkei will perform a shoulder-block that throws enemies to the side as he charges through them. KAMUI When your Kamui gauge is full, pressing Q will execute a powerful "Kamui" maneuver. Doing so will entirely consume one complete segment of your Kamui gauge. Press F just before being hit by an enemy attack, you will activate Kamui for that character and assume a defensive stance. If you attack, you will break out of Kamui space. NOTE: As you progress, your character can have as many as four of these segments, thus allowing multiple (up to triple) Kamui being active at a time even further slowing enemies. ENEMY You will automatically get experience points and possibly money after defeating enemies. Occasionally when you defeat an enemy, it will drop an item. [. . . ] If you can obtain high scores at the end of your battles by scoring long combos, and if you can get additional Kamui Score bonuses, you will be able to level up very quickly. Mastering Kamui can grant extremely large experience bonuses to a skilled player. It is not easy to obtain the items that you can give a blacksmith to create special order items. These items are usually possessed by powerful enemies, and can only be obtained by using Kamui maneuvers to defeat them. [. . . ]
