BTW, Kensai is actually from another game, Baldurs Gate 2 I believe. It's a class from Balgurs Gate 2, a class where you can wear no armor, but are VERY skilled in swordsmanship. Hope this helps :jawa

I believe Kensai is Japanese for "Sword Saint". The greatest Japanese swordsman was someone named Mushashi Miyamoto - the Kensai. He killed over 60 men in one-v-one duels, sometimes using a wooden stick, while the other guys used real swords. He is also the author of the famed "Book of 5 Rings".

Yes, I've read the (loooooong) novel based on the legend of Musashi...the ending was crappy, though, how he smashed the guy's head with a wooden stick. :(

 

The Kensai I refer to is a player nickname.

BTW, there was also a Kensai unit in Shogun: Total War. It was a one man unit that could rip through whole units of samurai unscathed. It's cooool

If you didn't pick it up, this is a quote from the Book of Five Rings by Musashi, which was referred to earlier.

 

"When you have mastered the Way of Strategy you can suddenly make your body like a rock and ten thousand things cannot touch you. This is the body of a rock."

 

Basically, this is part of almost a spiritual guide to his technique in fencing.

 

Besides that, I still want to see this demo.

I've read the book many times, thank you. :)

Hehe.

 

It's just that Kensai had the line(yes, that very same line!) and several other quotes from the Book bound to a key.

I'll post up the demo when I get home from school in about 8 hours.

Now that's pretty cool - I would have liked to see that.

 

You'd want to be good enough to back up in action any comments like that you make though, but from what you say - that certianly wasn't an issue.

The key to winning is as much spiritual preparation as training itself..

 

In game, I say these things to remind myself not to deviate from The Way.
