It is my pleasure to bring you the absolutely, positively...uh...wait.
Now, I'm starting to sound like Shawn Holmes. Here it is. Rim FAQ 1.0.

These are my own sites. FAQ.HTM right now is a growing collection of FAQs.
302, to be exact as of 2/28. Sometimes, the server is down, so I'm gonna
try to get this (my second FAQ) to other, more reliable servers, such as

Notes:
It's to bad I don't have my own Neo-Geo. I have to either go to one of the
malls or go to my friend's house. Most of the time, I don't do the latter,
so I can't spend humongous amouts of time confirming combos and all that
other stuff. The intro is copied from my Nak FAQ version 1.05.
This is completely public domain. No money should be received for this.
The occasional contribution to moi is nice.
If you're reading this, (and you are), I'm having a contest at my FAQ site.
If you can answer some questions, mail 5 dollars and the answers to me (at
the moment, I don't have NetCash) and you will get half the pot.
Here are the questions:
1. What was Sigeru Miyamoto originally hired as?
2. What company developed StarFox?
3. Where's this company based?
4. What does Namco stand for?
5. Is Atari American or Japanese?
6. What is the release date for the Nintendo 64?
7. How much static RAM does a Neo-Geo have?
and just to make it more a game of chance...
8. What is the chipset of my video card and how much RAM does the card have?
Answers will be posted at my faq site on March 8, 1996

Samurai Shodown ]I[ in a nutshell...
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 distant 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.
And the controls...
A - Weak Slash
B - Medium Slash
C - Fierce Slash
D - Kick
AB (far) - Sidestep (avoids specials)
-O + AB (close) - Behind step (move around opponent)
A+B+C - Charge POW
-O + BC - Hop Crush (must be high blocked)
O- / | \ -O (with weapon) Block stuns opponent
O O O (without weapon) Catches weapon and throw
-O + C - Pulling Guard Crush
O- + C - Pushing Guard Crush
\ + D - Crouching sweep kick
O
-O + D - Standing Kick
/ + D - Light Kick
O
-O -O Forward Dash
O- O- Backward Dash
(while getting up) O- or -O - Roll away
Here's some of the other new stuff...
-> Character Modes
All characters have a "BUST" and a "SLASH" mode. Moves and colors are
different in each, and so, it effectively double the amount of characters
in the game to twenty-four.
->Levels
Players can choose one of three levels, kinda like MK3. Novice level has
auto-blocking. Intermediate level is pretty standard. Advanced has the
player always be fully POW'ed and there is no blocking.
->Pow charge
POW is temporarily increased with holding ABC
->Manuevering before the fight
Just what it says. Like X-Men: COTA
->Pseudo 3-D moving.
Pressing AB from a distance will move the character to another plane of
attack, dodging projectiles. Pressing AB close to the opponent will make
your character move behind him/her. Almost like Fatal Fury, although in
that game, you could just keep on attacking from each plane by pressing it
for the whole match repeatedly and you could always go up to Billy Kane
in FF2.
->Hop Crush
Must be blocked high and very quick.
->Guard Crush
Pulling or pushing the opponent off balance so as to follow up with another
attack, usually a pseudo-combo of some sort or a special.
->Misc.
Weapons don't break.
Catching weapons and throwing can be done with fighter still armed.
Items are still there but the runner is gone.
(You mean to tell me with the incredible amount of money we're paying to get
a system with EIGHT megabytes of RAM and some pretty expensive static RAM,
they still need to take the runner out for the system to cope? Yes.)

Introduction:
Right now, I'm trying to write a novel on Nak and Rim. The following
is not part of that novel, but is just my own intro as to why they are
fighting.
I kept on looking torward the sky, trying to make out the lines that
formed my sister, but like her voice, they faded into the afterlife. I kept
on staring to the blue sky, until I heard,
"What are you looking at, Rimururu?"
Without turning my head to see who addressed me, I said "Nothing."
With that, the man started talking again, saying, "Just like her sister,
a nut!" Laughing erupted behind me, and I started staring back at what
my sister left me: her sword. So, I thought, this is what I must do.
Disregarding the laughter that reverberated in my ear, I went into our
house, took out a blue, embroidered cloth, and wrapped it around my
forehead, securing it with a knot in the back. A cap of mourning.
I left my house, and found a crowd, laughing for no reason, except to
ridicule. At that point, I couldn't take it anymore; I burst into full
wail. I ran into the forest, clutching my only keepsake of my sibling.
I ran and ran until I reached a clear area which did nothing more than
increase my sorrow.
This was the spot where Nak and I would stay during warm nights. We
would stare at the stars and talk about what we would do. And then there
was one day when she wasn't there...
I walked around the spot for a few moments, recollecting all the moments
we had together, and all the moments where she would tell of her moments
away from me. Her battles, her friends, her enemies.
I shouted upwards, "You said you'd always by with me! Where are you?"
Then, my eyes were attracted to something bright on the ground, directly
in the middle of our circular space. I walked torward it, and examined it:
a crystal large as my hand. I thought to myself, an interesting find. And
only that, and interesting find.
I looked back at the crystal, and I swear, I saw Nakoruru's face in one
of the surface's of the crystal. It moved out of my hand and hovered in
front of my face. Then a voice reverberated from the crystal...
"I will be with you always, in every battle that you must fight,"
Puzzled at the strange statement, I asked, "Who must I fight?"
"Seek out evil. There is evil power near. You must continue what I've
started..."
At that, the crystal stayed motionless in the air. I grabbed it and
thought, where would this power stem from. Who has Nakoruru talked about?
There was Gen-an, Earthquake, Amakusa...
I shuddered as I thought of Amakusa. Nakoruru described him as the most
evil man to embrace the earth. This must be where the trouble comes from...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"How long must I stay here?"
"The rest of your being, of course."
"But, my sister. She's still to young. I have to fight alongside..."
"No! That will be enough from you!"
"I must fight alongside her. I have vowed to protect nature, but instead
I'm here..."
"Which is where you belong."
"Even the kamui (gods) would go to earth. Why not those whose rightful
home is Ainumoshiri (litterally: abode of humans [ainu])?"
"I tire of your debate. You may go. Find this evil that you feel. But
if you die, not one more chance will you have. Join your sister in her
quest. Remember, only one life to live (unless you have more quarters :-))"
I felt myself going through the abyss which seperated the world of the
dead from the living. And then nothing.
I woke up, seeing my parents in front of me. They exclaimed great joy
at my return, but I paid all attention to the sounds of battle and cries of
pain coming from outside. I went out of the bed in which my parents found
me and rushed outside. What I saw astounded me.
There was Rimururu, doing as I asked. She was now a warrior. Her sword
was my own blade, or was it? I looked down at the sheath hanging at my
side. There was a duplicate of the sword which she had. I looked back at
the battle and was amazed to see only one fighter standing. My little
sister has become quite the warrior. She turned torward me, expecting to
see only my parents. But at the sight of me, she opened her mouth and
stayed in that position for seconds...until she fell down. My, have we a
lot of catching up to do...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Look. I know what I told you," I said. "But I'm..."
"You're back? And?" she asked apathetically.
"All I'm asking you is to stop..."
"Stop what? Stop trying to help..."
"Don't you get it?" I shouted. "This is about you. You're...what..?"
"Fourteen," came the stupidifying response.
"Fourteen. You're just too young..."
"Too young?" she towering her frame over my kneeling self. "Well, what
about you? Seventeen? You left me for two years, and those two years, you
survived...
"Barely," I retalliated, standing just two inches taller than her.
"And what about you telling me about protecting nature and..."
"Well, I'm repealing that. It's my responsibility and I made a mistake
thinking I could let you handle that..."
"But I can! You saw how I handled the man who challenged me..."
"Genjuro? He's nothing..."
"I'm not afraid," she said unsheathing her blade.
"Attack me."
Nothing.
"Attack me, damn it!"
She lifted up her blade...and dropped it back into her sheath. "I
can't..."
"You have to. Only one person may face him, and you have to get through
me to face him."
"I'm good enough. Why can't we both..."
"His rules..."
"Rules! You gave me this responsibility. Now live with it!"
"But you just don't have the strength..."
"Oh yeah?" she shouted, as she started taking energy from the crystal
that floated behind her...until I cut it off. She dropped down to her knees
and started clutching her chest. Breathing heavily, she looked up at me...
until I finally restored the flow of energy from me to the crystal.
"What was that!?" she screamed at my face. "Tell me!"
"You think that you are strong enough by yourself to face Zankuro? I
had to give that to you because if you chose to fight..."
"And I do!" she interrupted.
Disregarding that, I continued, "I needed to give you the strength you
need to fight him. I'm just asking you, do you really want to go through
this?"
Looking straight into my teary eyes, she uttered, "Yes. I feel I have
to."
"I know. I felt the same way before...where are you going?"
From the door, she answered, "To find Zankuro..."
"Not yet," I said, and she came back to me. "Before you can fight, you
must prevail in fighting a few others..."
"Like?" she asked restlessly.
"Namely: Hanzo, Genjuro, Ukyo..."
"Hey!" she interrupted. "Isn't he dead?"
"No. He's very much alive. Ukyo, Kyoshiro, Galford, Amakusa, Shizumaru
Hisame, Basara, and Haohmaru."
A shudder went up her spine at that last name.
"Are you ready to face them?"
"Yes!" she said with enthusiasm as she stood up.
"Then, that's enough."
She sat down quickly.
"Before you face Zankuro, you will first have to face yourself..."
"No problem..."
"And me."
Shock went all through her face. Then disbelief. "Very funny joke. Ha,
ha."
I nodded my head in support of my statment.
She looked at her unsheathed blade and I did so with mine, I imagining a
vision of blood tainting the steel. Her blood. Still staring down upon it,
I said, "It is my intention that the most fit fight Zankuro, as it is with
the Kamui."
She sat there, dumbfounded for only a moments silence, and finally spoke,
"Then so be it." Standing up and turning, she asked with her back torward
me, "So what is it then?" Turning again, she finished it with, "Enmity?
Hostility? Animosity?"
"None of the above, I hope."
She walked through the door, the blue crystal glowing as it followed her
through the door. Resentment caved in on me. Resentment of letting her go
like that. I ran out the door again and shouted her name, "Rimururu!"
No answer.
"Rimururu!" I shouted again.
No answer.
I looked up upon the heavens and asked with quiet thought, does she have
what it takes to survive?
Then the lights of the starts ceased, giving way to the brightness of a
new hue. Streams of yellow and white ran around in the air, flailing around
like the light off of silk in the wind.
Even with this "response", I ran off in serch of my only other reason for
living...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Information
I hope you liked what I wrote. If you don't, write your own FAQ and
consider that I did that part after the fight scene in less than three hours
or something like that. Rimururu is the little sister of Nakoruru and has
followed what Nakoruru wanted at the end of SS2. She's the fastest
character in the game and is kind of like a cross between SS2 Nak and SS1
Nak. She has some of the delay (but not all) that SS2 Nak has and the
quickness of SS1 Nak.
A formidable fighter in expert hands, she dashes and jumps better than
anybody. Her sword is the old sword that Nak had and her clothes are
embroidered with the same geometrical patterns that Nak had in SS2. She
wears a band around her forehead. This symbolizes mourning, possibly
mourning Nakoruru's going away?
She has a crystal following her all around. Possibly, this is Nak? She
sings, but I don't know Japanese so to me it could be Ainu (very unlikely)
or Japanese (99% sure) that is at her ending scene on the CD version.
In SS3, she believes that the new evil stems from Amakusa, but Nakoruru
comes back to Earth with knowledge of Zankurou, I think.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
More info on our little gal...
I found some unofficial specs on her, a dossier similar to the one for
Nakoruru in Samurai Shodown I. Don't even ask me where I got it. It's kind
of illegal...just kidding. Some of it is my speculation based on Nakoruru's
dossier from SS1, some of it is pretty much true.
Age: I'd say 15. Remember how Nak looked like in SS1? Her official age in
SS1 (1788) is 17. Nak was born 10/11/1771.
Height: I'd guess 5'0". Nak was officially 5'1" in SS1.
Sizes: B73, W50, H81 (cm) I think.
Place of Birth: island of Hokkaido, Ainumoshiri Kamuikotan.

The moves:
"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.

Character Select Screen: She does a quick flip backwards, goes into a
defensive guarding position with her arm raised near her face and shouts
something.
Before Round One: Has her ice crystal floating above her outstretched

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLASH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konril Myu | Freezes ground to stun opponent.
|
O- / | + A |
O O |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice counter for opponents who under-jump. Not the best recovery time.
Look at the unethical combo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lupu Quall | Tosses a cube of ice that hits
| freezing damage.
| \ -O + Slash |
O O |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main projectile. Good for air countering like above. The height of
the throw is controlled by the button used. A does a low throw. C does
a high projectile. B is in the middle. A Lupu Quall is way to easy to
jump over because it is almost sliding on the ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konril Shira | Leaps, and creates a platform of
| ice that crashes down into
(jump) -O \ | + A | opponent for damage.
O O |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely not my favorite move. She jumps too high and other guys can
recover from it quickly. From what it says in Red Fox's stuff, it's the
only jumping move that attacks below (besides kick). But even at that,
it's not great.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rupu Tu Nu Tiu | Grabs opponent, freezes, and
| smashes against edge of screen
(close) -O \ | / O- + B | for damage.
O O O |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very nice. Does a pretty good amount of damage. Try comboing with this
on the end. Almost like Galf's and Hanzo's SPD-like throw. Jump in and
do this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kamui Shtokke | Casts a wall of ice two-three
| character lengths away, to stun
| / O- -O + C | opponent.
O O |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is the "prevent" move or "keep-away". Keeps-away opponents and can
reflect projectiles. Some people say it can be like a shield for attacks
that are long, but I don't do it. I don't like the motion because for it
to be successful, it has be done quick enough. I'd rather have a
backwards Konril Nonril. It can be used for some nice combos.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konrul Nonril | Creates an iceberg that rises
| from the ground, catches
-O | \ + A | opponent, and juggles into air
O O | for multiple hits of ice damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "uppercut" of her moves. Has SS2 Nak's lag, which is bad. Could be
used onguys like Kyoshiro who have major hangtime.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
POWER SPECIAL: | Casts a huge iceberg around the
Rupu Kamui Emyu | opponent that explodes and hits
| for massive damage.
-O \ | / O- -O \ | / O- + CD |
O O O O O O |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, not one of my favorites. The motion is too hard for such a
pathetic move. It can be seen coming from a hundred miles away. Little
lag time though. Can be countered on the way down.

I like this move. It's easy. It does a fair amount of damage. Hardly
any delay time. Because of easy motion, easy to put in combos.
=========================================================================
Upon Wo | Casts out multiple icicles that

Like Ukyo's and Jubei's from SS2. Except she recovers more quickly than
these guys. I put it alot in pseudo combos.

Combos (as you can see, I don't like comboing with her. Nak's still my
girl and I haven't gotten use to Rim, yet)
I've tried to make this section so that it will be divided into three parts,
incredibly easy combos, honorable combos, and cheap/ unethical
combos. When I say "cheap" or "unethical", I mean the fight is practically
over if a person does complete it. I know someone is going to E-Mail me and
chew me out on a discussion on what is "cheap." Let me just say, "If you
think that you can do a better FAQ, do so. Otherwise, this is my FAQ and I
can state my opinions as I want to. So there. Nyah, Nyah."

Strategies
Sorry. Haven't developed any good character specific startegies, but be
patient. They're gonna be in ver 1.05, or whatever I'm writing next.
In order, people find that the most annoying aspects about fighting a good
Rimururu player is...
1 -- Rimururu dashing in to hit and (possibly) set up combos.
2 -- Rimururu countering and canceling other attacks/ specials, mostly with
well timed far standing A's and B's or even forward D's.
3 -- Rimururu becomes the F-16 and takes to the sky.
Why do I compare her to the F-16? She's got the speed (F-16 does Mach 2,
disregard that the MiG-25 can Mach 2.84), she doesn't have the range of the
other Big Iron (these being the Su-27 and F-15), but she's got that
quickness and manueverability (the F-16 can pull 9 Gs compared to the F-15
5 Gs) and she's pretty easy to use, IMHO (the F-16 has that fly-by-wire)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The numbers represent what I recommend from the list above, 1, 2, or 3.
The first in the order is most recommended and the last is least.
Shizumaru Hisame 1 | 2 | 3
He's pretty fast, so try AB around him and
combo
Basara the Executioner 2 | 1 | 3
Taking to the air isn't a bad idea
because of his hang time
Gaira Caffeine 2 | 1 | 3
Use the speed. Use the speed. Use the speed.
Haohmaru 2 | 1 | 3
Nakoruru 1 | 2 | 3
Galford 1 | 2 | 3
Kyoshiro Senryo Use Lupu Quall
Ukyo Tachibana 2 | 3 | 1
Genjuro Kibagami 2 | 1 | 3
Hanzo Hattori 1 | 2 | 3
Shiro Tokisada Amakusa Use anything! He's kinda crappy...
Kuroko 3 | 2 | 1
