About this Game
---Game Info---
This is the second SS game that is released on the Neo Geo Pocket.
The first one is called SS!, it was released on the black and white
Neo Geo Pocket. Now, this is the first color SS game that is made
for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Developer : SNK
Genre : Pocket Fighting Series
Game size : 16 megabits
Year of release : 1999

(Note: For 2 Players mode, you need a link cable,
2 Neo Geo Pockets, and 2 SS2! cartridges.)

---Basic Story Lines---
This story lines(or ending) of this game is basically based on
Samurai Shodown 64 II Warrior's Rage(Samurai Spirits 2 Asra Zanmaden)
. The story basically goes like, after Yuga is sort of defeated in
SS64, he is back again. In order to unite the world of Light and
Darkness, he needs to have Haohmaru and Shiki. So Yuga send Asra(Bust)
and Shiki(Bust) to get them. (Okay, I'm not good at explaining the
story lines)
---Character Names Confusion---
Sometimes SNK gives two different version of names to certain
characters(don't ask me why?!) The one we usually see is Rimnerel/
Rimururu. Now in this game, there are a few more cases like this,
for instance, the names you see in the endings and cards don't quite
match the names you see in character seletion screen. So, if you are
new to Samurai Shodown, I hope the following will help you clarify
their names.
(Note: The names on the right side is their official name, the names
we usually see in SS games. The names on the left side is
like some SNK screws up names.)
Asuras=Asra
Haomal=Haohmaru (you see the name Haomal(what the?) in the manual)
Morosumi=Morozumi (same as above)
Rimnerel=Rimururu
Saki=Osaki (The name you see on the card is different than the
ending, Osaki is just a girl Ukyo saved(not his lover,
Kei is his lover).
-Other-
Slash=Chivalry
Bust=Treachery

Basic Movelist
(Most of the commands are taken from the instruction booklet.)

Samurai Combination System Backward or forward or down + B,

*About the Samurai Combination System*
Even though the instruction booklet says either backward or forward
or and then press B will start the SCS, but it seems to me only
backward + B will usually start the combo.
Backward + B then AAA After done this combo, half bar of
your POW gauge will be filled up.
Backward + B then ABB After done this combo, your opponent
will be bounced and knocked back.
Backward + B then BBB After done this combo, your opponent
will float on air for a bit, so you
can combo one or more hits after it.

when a character say to Shiki, Asra and Yuga will be different
than to others.

Endings
-Asra-
Vengeance is Asra's "I depart for eternity...Shiki, I entrust you
with my mission..." His soul spent, Asra closes his eyes gently.
They will never gaze upon this world again.
-Charlotte-
Charlotte lays a rose on the slain Yuga. "Now, I can return home."
But before leaving for France, one duel awaits. Yet one more
encounter. Where is he? Haohmaru...
-Galford-
"Don't go!" But Nakoruru walks toward the beckoning Rimnerel.
"I'll always love you! Go, Poppy!" Galford runs after his canine pal.
-Genjuro-
"You killed my father!" The boy stabs Genjuro. The duel is finished.
Genjuro whispers. "More sake!" "Tonight we drink!" "...Fool..."
-Hanzo-
Behind Hanzo, Gandara rises from the maw of the earth. "To Hades's
bowels, you!" A fountain of blood spurts and Gandara collapses. The
shrieks of crows drown out all sounds.
-Haohmaru-
After parting with Shiki, Haohmaru feels aware of an unknown
presence. "A baby? oh well..." "Come with me, buddy." He scoops up
the baby. "You'll learn how to hold your sake, you scamp!"
-Jubei-
Imperial secret: Mission, complete. The nation is safe. On the way
home, a feast of dumplings awaits him. However..."Do you lack
commitment?"
-Kazuki-
Yuga is back in darkness. The voice of his forebears brings Kazuki
to awareness. "Your power is superior." "We are one with you." Kazuki
draws the hand of his treasured sister near.
-Morozumi-
"It's done..." Thanks to this foul weapon, a priceless entity has
been sacrificed. "Now, I must return home." Home, where the souls
of his wife and child seek his needed presence.
-Nakoruru-
Galford takes Nakoruru's small hand. "Be with me. Forever..."
"I can't. I'm a maiden of the Ainu". Galford shouts to his beloved
Nakoruru, "I'll never give up!"
-Rimururu-
"I won! Now Nakoruru can finally find happiness!" Galford and
Nakoruru have been watching over the girl. Nakoruru, who wrapped
her sister with a protective gaze, smiles with relief.
-Shiki-
"Please..." Shiki leaves her dear child to the trusty Nikochin.
"Goodbye" The baby looks at Nikochin and wails. "Doh! babies!"
-Sogetsu-
"Kazuki! Look what I've planned for the future!" Sogetsu soon took
action. In no time, he became leader of the Fuma Ninja. And finally
seized reign of all ninja regions...
-Ukyo-
Osaki wakes, fully cured. She is given a pinwheel by Haohmaru.
"It was this man who saved you." "Ukyo?!..." Blood stains the
spinning pinwhell.
-Yuga-
A swarm of fiends gather in the rank, rotting dark. Asra, Shiki hover
above the foul mob. Yuga appears between his two vassals. He declares
completion of Utopia. A Utopia of pure evil!

Miscellaneous Notes
(The following notes are the little things I find out in the game.
As you can see, I haven't known much about the game yet. So, if you
have any input, please email me.)
-Bust Shiki's Air Super Move-
She has one more super move that is not listed in the cards or
manual. You have to append Card No.112 and use the move in the game,
that move will enable her to fly on the air(very cute), then you
do the super move (as usual, when POW gauge at max, do b,f,d+A).
-The Japanese writings for Bust Ukyo's super-
After Ukyo(Bust) does his super, there are some Japanese writing
appear on the screen. There are 2 different one, and they are the
Haiku Ukyo wrote. If you want to know the meaning, go check
Card No.95 and Card No.96, they are actually the translation for it.
But it isn't quite the direct translation, but very close.
**********************************************************************
My comments
This is the second FAQ I wrote, the first one is SSRPG walkthru.
Since there were many people used my SSRPG walkthru(Thanks to
Gamefaqs.com), I decided to write another SS FAQ, so I wrote this.
This TAPFAQ is subject to changes and updates in the future. If you
spot any mistake in this text or you have something useful that you
think I should add it to this TAPFAQ, please e-mail me. Since I still
have a lot of things I don't know about this game, I hope you guys
can contribute some info about the game to me.
Any other comments or complains, please e-mail me at: ckgan@home.com
**********************************************************************
Hope you have a fun time playing this game.....till the next SS! ^_^
