Play as a student:
Hold R1 + R2 + L1 + L2
when selecting a character. Different characters will result in
different Dojos and students.

All hidden characters:
To unlock all the hidden characters in Versus and Tournament
mode, defeat all the Dojos in single player mode. All the silhouettes
will be replaced by the faces of the Dojo Masters.


Ikosai:
When you complete the tournament, the 29th fighter
will be unlocked, but you cannot see his face. To play as him,
hold L1 + R1 + R2 + L2 then press
X. When you face your opponent you will be playing as him.



Confuse opponent:
Repeatedly press X + Circle during versus
mode to make it unclear whether you are going to attack.

Alternate stages:
Hold Select when selecting a stage in versus
mode. Note: This has no effect on some stages.

Dojo stage:
Hold Select when selecting the random stage
option in versus mode.

Hint: More difficult illusion training:

If you choose the illusion training and complete it
enough times, you will have to fight a "mirror image"
of yourself. This "mirror image" uses the same weapon,
and can use any attack that you have. It is an easy battle but
it can definitely show you weaknesses in your own technique.


Hint: Fight with a plank of wood:
Get your sword up (extremely), and go to training.
Select the training where you beat up on a piece of wood and attack
it. Note: This trick works if you hit the wood only once and it
breaks.


Hint: Shaku sword:
Get maximum insight with the Zan meditation training.
