>>> TRICKS AND TIPS
-------------------
Special Attack : Attack+Jump
Every character can perform his own special move by the combination : Down, Up + Attack
Press Down+Jump to perform a dash-attack spin against the enemies.
During the game, sometimes you'll found a 'gong bell' that will summonate the Horse for the player.
The Horse gives great offensive attacks against the enemies, and also gives to every character a long-rage weapon (despite Kadan): also, some characters that didn't carry any weapons normally (Portor and Kassar) will get it after they'll go up the horse.
Every charcater can perform some special moves when is ride the horse:
* standard Special Attack (press attack+jump): You'll lose energy every time you'll perform it.
* Powerful slash with special wave: backward, forward + attack. Can slice apart some enemies. With Kadan you'll obtain a fire bolt.
* Dash: forward + Jump: is also possible combine the attack button to perform a longe range attack after the dash (despite Kadan)
* Run ans Slash: every direction (backward or forward) + jump (2 times rapidly): this move is similar at the standard special, but the player will not lose energy for perform it, is possible moving while using it, and the enemies can be hitted more of one time in this way: although, some enemies are able to block this attack, if they'll hit the player.
Sometimes, the horse will be used even by some bosses, and the player can get it after the boss will get down. By the way, some bosses are able to use the horse too, and they can benefit og theyr usage like the players.
Violent Boss Kill : if you'll finish the boss with a special move, you'll execute him in a very brutal way. Most of times the boss will be sliced apart, but you can also decapitate him with determinated moves.
