Bushido Blade 2
Introduction
Bushido Blade 2 is a 3D fighting game developed by Lightweight and published by Squaresoft for the Playstation. The control scheme and fighting system have been completely overhauled from the first game and it is now less random and worthy of much more serious competitive play.
Movement
The movement in the game is fairly standard for most 3D games.

- Hold L1 while pressing any direction to free run.
- R2 causes you to crouch momentarily. Pressing towards, R2 causes you to crouch while moving forward. During this forward crouch you can perform Major Attacks.
- R1 makes your character do a little hop and a quick attack above their head. If timed well you can hit someone jumping over you.
- Pressing R1 while your opponent is down will cause you to do a pounce attack.
- Pressing R1 while crouched down to high jump, pressing it while crouching forward to high jump forward.
- You can also climb up to a higher level when standing next to a wall by pressing towards it and R1.

Towards and Back to roll forward or backwards and then stand up. Press an attack button during the roll to do a rising attack as soon as the roll is finished.
