Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 00:38:39 GMT Gekka no Kenshi Bakumatsu Rouman Dai Ni Maku Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiri Yuku Hana "The Last Blade 2" Combo FAQ version 1.1 by Pedro Colman-Arrellaga ====================================================================== Key: A = weak slash B = heavy slash C = kick D = deflect BC = In Power mode this is an unblockable hit In Speed and EX modes it is an overhead hit CD = throw (must be done very near to opponent) u = up d = down b = back f = forward df = down-forward db = down-back uf = up-forward ub = up-back qcf = quarter circle forward qcb = quarter circle back hcf = half circle forward hcb = half circle back dp = "dragon punch" motion (forward, down, down-forward) rdp = reverse dragon punch motion (back, down, down-back) cd = charge down cb = charge back cf = charge forward DM = Desperation move SDM = Super Desperation move CS = Combo Special (d,d+A or B) (g) = move performed while opponent is on ground (a) = move performed while airborne * = combo must be performed in corner # = combo requires maxed meter ! = combo requires maxed meter or low health ~ = combo requires maxed meter and low health ====================================================================== FAQ Version History ------------------- 1.1 - The current version. Typos fixed. Errors corrected. Omissions from the 1.0 version added. A couple of combos added, including Setsuna and Lee SDM combos that were somehow left out of version 1.0. More details and corrections concerning combo specials added. Added the version history you're reading right now. 1.0 - Initial public release 0.95 - The "work in progress" version. Seen only by a couple of people who helped out. ====================================================================== Combo tips ---------- In most places jumping C can be substituted for jumping B in combos, although jumping C must usually be done deeper as the hit stun is shorter. Similarly a standing C can be substituted for many of the standing B's. Of course you can usually tack on a Weak slash special instead of the B slash, but why? Use the B if it's available. Generally what is shown here is most hits and damage possible. Crouching A (d+A) does equal damage to standing A in Power mode, but in Speed and EX modes crouching A does more damage than standing A. Crouching B (d+B) does less damage than standing B in Power mode, but in Speed and EX modes crouching B does more damage than standing B. Unfortunately, use of crouching B in Speed mode often leads to combos that whiff, as it pushes your opponent farther away and is slower to execute than a standing B. Also, use of crouching B in combos is more likely to lead to conflicts with special move motions, so use it carefully. Multiple hit normal moves (such as Setsuna's d+B) can generally be interrupted on either hit, the tradeoff being that waiting for the second hit pushes you slightly farther away. Use the deflect (D) to open up combo opportunities. After deflecting a strong slash, almost any move will combo. An addition to the LB2 gameplay system is that deflects can now be done in midair. Another addition to LB2's combo system is the ability to perform dashing attacks. Pressing A or B while dashing (f,f) will now perform a dashing attack that can be used to start a combo. In Speed or EX modes this can be used to initiate a chain combo. Example: Dash B, B, f+C Dashing after hitting an opponent with a special move often makes it possible to hit then again on the ground with a ground attack. If you can't reach an opponent on the ground with the last hit of a combo it's because you must dash first to get near them. BC in Speed and EX mode must be blocked high. Use it to open up juggle opportunities. BC in Power mode is now an unblockable move with long startup time. It can be useful against extremely persistent turtles. f+C is now interruptible in Power mode and can be used to open up juggle opportunities. Many moves can be made easier to combo by pre-buffering the move. An example of this using Zantetsu: Jump B, A, hcb+C This is easier to perform if done as: Jump B, hcb+A, C Since hcb+A isn't one of Zantetsu's special moves, the hcb motion registers and when C is hit, the hcb+C move is performed. All qcb,db,f motions can be performed as either qcb,hcf or qcf,f. Use whichever motion you find easiest to perform. ====================================================================== Selecting EX mode ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To select EX mode when selecting gameplay mode, first select the character you wish to play as. Then within 4 seconds: Move to Speed mode and press C 6 times, then move to Power mode and press B 3 times, then move back to Speed mode and press C 4 times. This will cause EX mode to appear. Press A or D to select the color of your EX mode character. In EX mode you have most of the capabilities of Power and Speed modes. However, you will be handicapped. You take significantly more damage from your opponent's hits in EX mode than while playing Power or Speed modes. Also, your meter will fill more slowly than while playing Power or Speed modes. ====================================================================== Last Blade 2 Chain Combo System in Speed and EX modes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The chain combo system in LB2 is similar to that present in LB1, but there are several new twists. There are two basic types of chains in LB2. Here is the first chain type: +---> f+B | +---> f+C b+A ---> A ---> A ---> B ---+ +---> df+C | +---> BC f+B, f+C, and df+C all end chains and are uninterruptible. BC also ends chains and is uninterruptible, but you can juggle after it in certain situations. All chain combos are interruptible at any point prior to these four combo finishers. All characters can perform this chain combo. The only rules that have to be followed are: 1. Chains must flow from A to C. No A, B, A chains. 2. Portions of the chains are chains on their own. Ex: A, B, f+B A, f+B b+A, B, f+B A, A, B, f+C B, BC b+A, A, df+C 3. b+A may only be performed at the beginning of a chain. 4. Crouching normals may be done in place of standing moves, however only crouching B's may be used top start chains, not A's. Once a crouching move has been done, that button may not be used again for another crouching hit in the chain. No d+A, d+A. Character specific exceptions will be described in each character's combo guide. Here is the second chain type: A ---> B ---> C This chain always knocks down your opponent. You cannot deviate from this 3 button sequence at all, otherwise you will not perform the unique chain. ====================================================================== Super cancels in Power and EX modes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In Power and EX mode certain special moves can be canceled into DMs. Here is an example of this using Moriya: Jump B, B, qcf+A, DM In this combo Moriya's qcf+C special move is canceled into his DM. Special moves that can be canceled into DMs will be noted in each character's combo guide. ====================================================================== Combo specials in Speed and EX modes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pressing d,d+A or B in Speed or EX modes with a maxed meter activates a "combo special." When this is done your character will flash blue, dash forward, and attack once. Performing this with A will require the attack to be blocked high, while performing this with B will require the attack to be blocked low. If this attack connects you may continue into any one of four special chain combos, one of which allows for juggling afterwards. The chart below shows the various types of combo specials for each character. Certain hits are unblockable, and are marked as such. Kaede (Both versions), Yuki, Akari, Hibiki, Washizuka, Kagami, Okina A ---> B ---> C -+-> A ---> B ---> C -+-> A ---> B ---> qcf+C | | | | | +-> C ---> B ---> qcf+A | (Unblockable) | +-> d+C ---> A -+-> BC ---> A ---> qcf+B | | +-> d+C ---> f+BC (Juggle) (Unblockable) Juzou, Amano, Mukuro, Shigen, Setsuna, Kouryuu A ---> B ---> C -+-> A ---> B ---> C -+-> A ---> B ---> qcf+C | (Unblockable | (Juggle for Amano) | for Juzou) | | +-> C ---> qcf+B | (Unblockable) | +-> d+C -+-> BC ---> qcf+B | | +-> d+C ---> f+BC (Juggle) (Unblockable) Moriya, Kojirou, Lee, Zantetsu A ---> B ---> C -+-> A ---> B ---> C -+-> A ---> B ---> qcf+C | | (Juggle for Kojirou) | | | +-> C ---> B ---> A ---> qcf+C | (Unblockable) | +-> d+C ---> A -+-> f+BC ---> A ---> B ---> qcf+B | | +-> d+C ---> f+BC (Juggle) (Unblockable) If successful in completing this you will do quite a decent chunk of damage to your opponent; around half. To do this requires quite a bit of timing; mashing the buttons will get you nowhere fast. The 4 types of combo specials will also be listed for each character in their combo guides. ====================================================================== Secret character codes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kouryuu ------- To select Kouryuu, do the following within 4 seconds. Move the cursor to Kaede. Press C 10 times, then press B 5 times, finally press C 4 times. If you are successful you will hear Kouryuu's voice sample. Press A or D, select gameplay mode, then press A or D again to select color. Kaede (pre-powerup form from LB1) --------------------------------- To select normal Kaede, do the following within 4 seconds. Move the cursor to Kaede. Press C 9 times, then press B 1 time, finally press C 4 times. If you are successful you will hear Kaede's voice sample. Press A or D, select gameplay mode, then press A or D again to select color. Hagure Ningyou -------------- To select Hagure, do the following within 4 seconds. Move the cursor to Akari. Press C 8 times, then press B 9 times, wait one second, then press C 1 time. If you are successful you will hear Akari's voice sample. Press A or D, select gameplay mode, then press A or D again to select color. Hagure is not really a separate character per se. You will transform into the same character as your opponent for each fight. Therefore there is no separate combo guide for Hagure. ====================================================================== A note about damage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The damage done by moves, and as a consequence, combos, in LB2 varies quite a bit depending on the mode of play you are using, the length of the combo, which character is on the receiving end, the mode of play used by the character on the receiving end. Some combo examples to illustrate this: Power mode Kaede vs. Power mode Shigen Jump B, B, qcf+B 25.8% damage done on Shigen Speed mode Kaede vs. Power mode Shigen Jump B, B, qcf+B 18% damage done on Shigen Power mode Kaede vs. EX mode Shigen Jump B, B, qcf+B 36% damage done on Shigen Power mode Kaede vs. Power mode Akari Jump B, B, qcf+B 30.5% damage done on Akari Basically: 1. Power mode characters do significantly more damage per hit than Speed or EX mode characters; EX mode characters generally do slightly more damage per hit than Speed mode characters. 2. EX mode characters take much more damage from hits than Power or Speed mode characters. (Around 140%) 3. Characters fall into 3 tiers of damage resistance: Shigen and Juzou - The strongest tier; these characters take the least damage per hit. Kaede, Moriya, Setsuna, Amano, Washizuka, Kagami, and Kouryuu - The middle tier; these character's damage rates are exactly in between those of the other two tiers Yuki, Akari, Hibiki, Kojirou, Okina, Mukuro, Lee, Zantetsu, and Normal Kaede - The weakest tier; these characters take the most damage per hit. 4. No single combo may do more than 70% damage, regardless of any other factors involved. The only semi-exception to this concerns Shigen's multi-throw combos, but those combos are escapable at certain points. ====================================================================== Character combo guides ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Any 2 hit normal moves (such as Amano's d+B) mentioned in combos can be assumed to hit for both hits before being interrupted, unless noted otherwise. Note on Character Names: Names are written in Japanese order - Family name first, proper name last. (As spoken by the announcer.) ====================================================================== Kaede ----- Ground attacks -------------- C df+B Finishers --------- dp+B is finished with a second dp+B.

Super cancels ------------- f,db,f+A or B hcb+B (hold B) Combo specials -------------- (All are started with d,d + A or B) A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, qcf+C A, B, C, A, B, C, C, qcf+B A, B, C, d+C, BC, qcf+B A, B, C, d+C, d+C, f+BC (juggle) Chain combo specifics --------------------- b+B, d+B, f+B is a chain. Amano's dashing A or B attack does not chain into other normals. Combos ====== A few things: DO NOT USE AMANO's JUMP B!! It is by far the worst jump B in the entire game, Not only does it terrible lag if you miss, leaving you very vulnerable, but even if you connect with it, you still can't combo anything off of it. Use jump C instead. If you must use a standing B attack when comboing, use b+B instead of B. Unlike B, it has very little lag if you miss, and it is much more flexible in terms of combo possibilities. If you to use a B attack after a jump attack use d+B instead of b+B, as b+B is too slow to connect. Amano's f,db,f+A or f,db,f+B move can be performed as f,b,f+A or f,b,f+B to make things easier. Note that combos that opens with hcb+B (hold B) require you to hold the button until Amano says "sora" twice. Note that wherever you see "Dash A" or "Dash d+B" after hcb+C in these combos, it is not the usual dashing attack. It is a very short dash followed by a normal A or d+B attack. d+Ax2 is a combo in all modes.

Pressing A rolls forward, B rolls backwards. dp+A and dp+B can be finished with u+A, u+B, or d+C. All three cause Akari to attack a second time. If you missed initially, these give you a second chance to hit. All three work work after pressing A or B to get into position. dp+C can also be finished with u+A, u+B, d+C, or u+C. u+A, u+B and d+C behave as described above, while u+C bounces away from your opponent after hitting them once. d+C in midair can be finished u+A, u+B, d+C, and u+C in Speed and EX modes. All these finishers behave as described above. Note that the u+A and u+B finishers above both attack to slowly to combo. Super Cancels ------------- d,u+C (Can only be canceled on the first hit) Combo specials -------------- (All are started with d,d + A or B) A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, qcf+C A, B, C, A, B, C, C, B, qcf+A A, B, C, d+C, A, BC, A, qcf+B A, B, C, d+C, A, d+C, f+BC (juggle) Infinites --------- In all modes, from slightly away from a corner to about 3/4 of a screen way from a corner you can juggle your opponent with repeated b+B after f+C. This can also be done after BC in a corner in Speed and EX modes. After every b+B you are pushed back slightly and must walk forward a bit before the next b+B can be done. Eventually you will have to dash forward to continue, It is possible to do up to 70% damage in this way, and you will eventually dizzy your opponent in Power mode (ToD). Chain combo specifics --------------------- Chains can be ended with b+B Combos ====== b+B x 2 is a combo in corners against medium/large characters. b+B can be followed by A, d+A, d+B, f+C, and df+C. Feel free to add or subtract repetitions of b+B to all combos that contain multiple b+Bs; i.e. b+B x 3 or b+B x 6 will both work just as well as one another, provided you stay close enough to the corner. All modes --------------- Dash A or B, qcf+B 2 hits Dash A or B, rdp+A 2 hits (Opponent will have left and right controls reversed for a short while) Dash A or B, rdp+B 2 hits (Opponent will have up and down controls reversed for a short while) Dash A or B, rdp+C 2 hits (Opponent's button controls will be scrambled for a short while) Dash A or B, hcb+A, u+C(g) 9 hits Dash A or B, d,u+C,d,u+C, u+C(g) 7 hits Dash A or B, d,u+C,d,u+B, u+C(g) (Most effective in corners) 6 - 10 hits * Jump B, b+B, d+B 4 hits Jump B, B, qcf+B 3 hits Jump B, B, rdp+A 3 hits (Opponent will have left and right controls reversed for a short while) Jump B, B, rdp+B 3 hits (Opponent will have up and down controls reversed for a short while) Jump B, B, rdp+C 3 hits (Opponent's button controls will be scrambled for a short while) Jump B, B, hcb+A, u+C(g) 10 hits Jump B, d+B, d,u+C,d,u+C, u+C(g) (Unreliable; ineffective in corners) 6 - 8 hits Jump B, d+B, d,u+C,d,u+B (Most effective in corners) 7 - 9 hits * Jump B, b+B x 2, qcf+B (Not too reliable) 4 hits Jump B, b+B, d+B, qcf+B 4 hits Jump B, b+B, d+B, hcb+A, u+C(g) 11 hits Jump B, f+C, d,u+C,d,u+C, df+B(g) 6 - 7 hits (This is most effective in Power mode and in corners) Jump B, f+C, d,u+C,d,u+B, df+B(g) 6 - 10 hits (This is most effective in Power mode and in corners) Note: Your opponent must be about 1/3 screenlength away from a corner for the following 4 combos to work.

This may also be done in Speed and EX modes, but in these modes it does not interrupt the dp+B and only works in corners. AB (dodge) may be finished with either f+C or b+C. f+C dashes forward, b+C hops back. You may press A, B, C or D while hopping back. After catching your opponent's attack with hcf+C, you may hit them by either pressing C or BC. Super cancels ------------- dp+B Combo Specials -------------- (All are started with d,d + A or B) A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, qcf+C A, B, C, A, B, C, C, B, qcf+A A, B, C, d+C, A, BC, A, qcf+B A, B, C, d+C, A, d+C, f+BC (juggle) Combos ====== Any combo that involves a special move after dp+B (DM (qcb,db,f+AB) in Power and EX modes, qcf+A or B in Speed mode) requires that you end up behind your opponent after the dp+B. Any time qcf+A is used in a combo, qcf+B may be used instead. It does slightly less damage, but must be blocked low. Hibiki's jumping B slash can be very handy for crossup attacks, though it isn't as good as Zantetsu's for this purpose. Most combos that begin with a Jump B will also work if begun with a crossup jump B, sometimes even more effectively.

This is not the normal u+B ground attack. It can be done even if you miss your opponent entirely. It causes the blade to hover in mid-flight, enabling you to hit your opponent a second time. Tapping A during dp+A extends the range of the move and increases the number of hits. Tapping B during dp+B has the same effect.

Other than the usual chains, the following are also chains: B, d+C x 3 d+B, d+C x 2 B, f+C d+B, f+C d+B, d+C, f+C These can all be used as parts of longer chains such as: b+A, A, A, B, d+C x 3 Combos ====== B, C is a combo in Speed and EX modes. f+C after B hits four times. Unfortunately, it does not execute quickly enough to actually combo. In Speed and EX modes, jump B may be followed by C while still in midair. In Speed and EX modes, pressing AC while in midair produces an attack that looks the same as jump A, but can be repeated several times after the first hit. This may be used in place of any other jumping attack in combos, or after a jump B.

Super Cancels ------------- qcb+B Combo specials -------------- (All are started with d,d + A or B) A, B, C, A, B. C, A, B, qcf+C A, B, C, A, B. C, C, B, A, qcf+A A, B, C, d+C, A, f+BC, A, B, qcf+B A, B, C, d+C, A, d+C, f+BC (juggle) Infinites --------- In Speed and EX modes, pressing AC while in midair produces an attack that looks the same as jump A, but can be repeated many times after the first hit. If done with the right timing it can be done infinitely. This may be used in place of any other jumping attack in combos, or after a jump B. Due to the fact that you can't dizzy in Speed and EX modes, you will not be able to do a ToD. Combos ====== Note that all combos that begin with Deep jump B, qcf+A(a) must be performed very deep, slightly in front of an opponent. You may also start these combos with just the qcf+A(a). This does 1 less hits and less damage, but the timing required is somewhat more lenient. After qcf+A, you may juggle your opponent with any attack. When attacking a downed opponent with qcf+A(a) this may be performed more quickly as qcf,ub+A(a) (for attacking while jumping backwards) or as qcf,uf+A(a) (for attacking while jumping forward). You may then add a second qcf+A(a) to either of these. f,b,f+C,qcb+B can be cancelled by any other special on the first hit. In general, this must be done very quickly. You may place f,b,f+C,qcb+B in any combo after any Dash A or B, d+B, or standing B, but this is can be quite difficult and only adds marginal damage to the combo. Example: Dash A or B, qcb+B 4 hits - now add the f,b,f+C,qcb+B Dash A or B, f,b,f+C,qcb+B, qcb+B 5 hits Zantetsu's jumping B slash can be very handy for crossup attacks. Most combos that begin with a Jump B will also work if begun with a crossup jump B; sometimes even more effectively. d+A x 2 is a combo in all modes.

Setsuna has two moves, hcb+C and SDM (hcbx2+B), which give Setsuna a "super armor" of sorts. While protected by this armor, Setsuna still takes damage, but is unfazed by attacks. The armor produced by hcb+C can withstand only one attack, while the armor produced by hcbx2+B can withstand two attacks. While this armor lasts you have access to two more moves. After both hcb+C and hcbx2+B you may perform hcf+C, which stuns your opponent. This may be done once after hcb+C and up to three times after hcbx2+B. After hcbx2+B you may also perform Setsuna's SDM finisher, hcf+AB. Note that you may not perform hcf+AB if you have already performed hcf+C while you have the hcbx2+B armor.

Jump C does less damage and one less potential hit, but is somewhat more useful. For all combos that begin with hcb+C or SDM (hcbx2+B): these moves are performed independently, prior to the rest of the combo. All combos listed may also be performed after connecting with hcf+C.
