Version History:
0.5 (9/8/96) - Decided to put together this thing. Start taking
stuff from
the SS3 TAPFAQ.
0.75 (10/1/96) - Add a Code! Replaced the character poses with
background
descriptions. Get rid of the joystick and ABCD
format. Got my
SS3 yesterday! :)

Boss Code!
This code only works in vs mode. :(
At the character select screen, hold start at Haohmaru then move
the cursor
over the following orders: Genjuro, Basara, Ukyo, Rimururu,
Haohmaru,
Shizmaru, Nakoruru, Hanzo, Amakusa, Gaira, Galford, Shizmaru. While
the cursor
at Shizmaru, wait until the timer reaches "03". When it reaches
"03" press
button X and Circle simultaneously. If the code worked, you should
see
Zankuro's picture appears in the middle of the screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
The Dreaded "demon". His name, Zankuro Minazuki. The evil
Zankuro,
from time immemorial, has indiscriminately attacked villages,
slaughtering all in his way. Falling under his mighty blade,
victims
screamed in terror of the dreaded demon before drowning in an
endless
sea of blood. All stood impotent to his evil deeds.
But then...In a distanct village, Zankuro failed to kill an
infant.
Some insist, perhaps the evil one could not kill him. The truth
remains
unknown. But from then on, Zankuro marked all swordsmen for
slaughter.
Years later...Twelve samurai and swordsmen begin their own
quests. All
seek one goal, the head of the dreaded Zankuro Minazuki.

The wanderer samurai in search of the slaying serpent Zankuro...
HAOHMARU
"Duelling is my Raison D'etre!"
THE SS1 TITLE SCREEN -- WIND: This is essentially based on the
intro to
Shodown I, where the narrator gives the laws of the samurai and
Haohmaru
slices the two lanterns with the lavender trees in the background.
Now,
however, we get to see the entire courtyard with gigantic lavender
trees
in the background and many lanterns adorning the stage both in the
foreground and all over the background. The lanterns can be cut
down by
the players. During the desperation, the background becomes a dark
violet
aura with many layers of color and lavender leaves begin to fall
like
snow. Large branches of the trees hang in the foreground.

BAMBOO FOREST: Stage Description: This is a dense bamboo forest,
with
leaves blowing across the floor. Sunlight filters through the tops
of
the trees. During the desperation stage, the forest vanishes and
is
replaced by a thick green aura. Leafy bamboo branches hang down in
the
background and leaves flutter down from them.

TACHIBANA UKYO
"Hmmph!"
RAFT -- SWAMP: You will fight on a raft floating on a green river,
with a thick forest in the background. Rotten trees, dead weeds
and
lanterns scroll by in the foreground--several layers of parallax.
In the
river, logs and even occasional bodies with swords and arrows in
their
backs float by. During desperation, the background turns black and
filtered blue light flows onto the stage, while fluorescent green
polyps
flash on the black background. When one player wins, pheasants fly
up
from the foreground.

The faithful daughter of nature seeks to save Zankuro's soul...
NAKORURU
"Savour nature's fearful wrath!"
NORTHERN COUNTRY SPRING -- CANYON: The fighting occurs in shallow
water
flowing through a canyon, with one of the rocky cliffs decorated
with
shrubs visible. For Slash Nakoruru, the plant life is brown as in
fall
whereas it is green as in spring for Bust Nakoruru. Small
butterflies
and dragonflies can also be seen. Also the occasional leaf falls
down the
stage. During the desperation, the cliffs vanish and are replaced
by a
bright red aura and leaves drop down in the foreground.

The ice-cold snow maiden who fights for her older sister...
RIMURURU
"You anger mighty nature!"
NORTHERN COUNTRY -- WINTER: Stage Descriptiom: This stage is very
similar to Nakoruru's stage in Samurai 1. In the second round,
Nakoruru
and her two parents come out of the cottage and watch the fight.
When
Nakoruru first comes out, she is holding two rabbits but drops them
in
shock when she sees her sister fighting. For the rest of the
match,
Nakoruru is shaking her head while her father is running his hand
over his
beard. If Rimururu wins, Nakoruru smiles in relief and her mother
begins
clapping. If Rimururu loses Nakoruru drops to her knees in sorrow
and her
mother turns to comfort her as her father covers his face with his
hand.
During the desperation, the background vanishes and the characters
fight
in a fierce blizzard.

"Come learn true justice!"
BRIDGE AND FALLS: You will fight on a bridge with a large
waterfall
directly in the
background. The bridge connects two rocky cliffs covered with
vegetation.
The occasional bird flies in from both sides and then zooms back
off.
During the desperation stage, the waterfall vanishes and is
replaced by
blue space. Lighting forks strike down randomly both in the
background
and in the foreground.

"Death means 'rest' to me!"
DESOLATION MOUNTAINS -- FALLEN BATTLE: This stage occurs in the
middle
of a volcanic hot spot, with gray igneous rocks in the immediate
background and a volcanic ash laden sky, which can be seen when the
screen scales out. Steam rises from the background and vents up
through
the floor. The stage also pulsates black, as if the sun were being
completely shut out, occaisionally.

In his quest for the ultimate aesthetic, he prepares to meet his
outer
demons...
SENRYO KYOSHIRO
"What a great death scene!"
EDO -- THE KABUKI STAGE: Fighting occurs on the stage of
Kyoshiro's
theater. In the background there is a large tapestry of a woman.
Large
butterflies flutter through the stage in the first round. High up
in the
foreground of his stage is the curtain. There is a tree sticking
out of
both sides of the stage. In the second round, the tapestry flips
over to
become the picture of Kyoshiro brutally slaying someone, the
butterflies
become ethereal flame spirits, and the lanterns against the stage
turn
from yellow to blue. At the desperation, the background turns into
the
stage curtain that had hung above in the previous state. Ghosts
fly by
overhead and strange, transparent images flash against the
curtains. Once
one player has won, the tapestry in the background becomes chagnes
again.
It becomes a picture of Kyoshiro sitting on a stone ground with his
naginata. If Kyoshiro loses, it changes to a pictures of Kyoshiro
sitting
with long tenticles coming out from someplace behind him.

KIBAGAMI GENJURO
"You wretch!"
VILLAGE -- DAYTIME: Your fights occurs in the middle of the street
of a
ghost own in the old west with fast moving grey clouds in the sky.
Frequent lightening strikes are visible in the background.
Children are
present at the beginning of the fight, but their parents come out
and pull
them from the scene of violence. A large flat cart, reminiscent of
the
"Bring out your dead" cart in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is
at the
right side of the screen in the immediate background. During the
desperation stage, the entire background is replaced by a flowing
purple
vortex that has a focus at the center of the stage.
