Overview
For maximum enjoyment of the game , these items are essential:
1. It is important to remember that to change the direction you are facing , PUSH DOWN on joystick without pressing fire button.
This takes a little practice to get used to. Practice controls by playing game option 5 ( practice vs. obstacles) , 6 ( practice sparring vs AI) , or 3 ( you can practice on stationary human opponent in Head to Head mode) . In the obstacle stages you must be very quick at changing direction and then getting off the proper move ( Do not try this stage while impaired !).
2. Do not be overaggressive against AI opponent. Often it is best to counterattack, as the opponent is vulnerable after a missed attack . Remember if you can get close in, a punch is worth 2 damage points.
Also do not forget about the forward jump-kick, which can be effective also.
Japan, 1856
Your betrothed sweetheart, the beautiful Princess Hana has been captured by the evil martial arts master Aku, whose romantic advances she once spurned. She is being held prisoner inside his compound on the Island of Shima. As an accomplished fighter yourself, you resolve to sail to the island and rescue Hana from the clutches of Aku.
But beware: Aku has fighters who will try to stop you . You must defeat them, and also deflect the obstacles they will hurl at you along the way. Once you make it to Aku’s dojo, you must square off against him. Only after defeating him can you and your beloved Hana live happily ever after . Are you skilled enough to save her, or will you, too, end up a prisoner in Aku’s dungeon ?
Engage in this campaign to save the beautiful Hana, fight head to head against a human opponent in 2- player mode, or hone your skills in practice mode.
