Kensei is one of those games which comes along not so often, but
carries some of the best elements in a game (a fighting game in
here). Kensei puts a lot of emphasis on REAL LIFE martial arts.
Each character has his own style which makes the game more
interesting.

I. Title Screen
Normal Mode - Beat everone.
VS Mode - Beat a friend.
Time Attack Mode - See how fast you can beat everyone.

II. The Basic Moves
Punch - Square button
Kick - Triangle
Block - X button

Counter - Hold back then hit Catch (O button) before the punch or
kick hits you. Some moves cannot be countered.
Side Stepping - Double tap Up or Down
Run - Double tap Forward
Fast Step Back - Double tap Back
Running Flying Kick - Double tap Forward then hit the Square
button
Running Slide Kick - Double tap Forward then hit the Triangle
button
*The moves for each character can be learned by pressing Start
then choosing the Commands option while fighting or while in Training
Mode.
III. Getting The Sub Characters, Bosses, Hidden Characters
The Sub Characters are the opponents you face on your 9th round
when playing the game in Normal Mode. After you beat the game with
your character, his Sub Character will become playable. Here is the
way to get ALL OF THE SUB CHARACTERS. I also suggest that you first
put the game on VERY EASY, 20 seconds, 1 round against the computer,
to have them all faster.
Note: The Sub Characters, Bosses, and Hidden Characters have similar
moves to their counterparts.

* After you get the Sub Characters from Yugi to Saya, go to Normal
Mode Again then finish the game with these characters.
Bosses
*Yugo Zhou
*Akira Kaiya
Hidden Characters
*Zhou Kazane (Has moves
like Hyoma and Sessue's)
*Kaiya Jelly/Billy
(Billy is his alternate costume)
IV. Extra Mode
After getting all of the Sub Characters, Bosses, and Hidden
Characters, you will notice that there will be a new mode in the
title screen, the Extra Mode. After you choose that, a new screen
will appear.
The new mode is actually a New Game! It's called Running Bugi.
It's like a time lap race where you use your characters to run around
a track. Cute game.
V. Questions
1. Why is it that THERE ARE NO ENDINGS IN THE GAME? I have the
JAPANESE version, even though, why are there NO ENDINGS FOR THE
CHARACTERS? Is there a way to see one?
