But if you die at the start, you faced a lone ninja.  Who can hope to beat a lone ninja?

[Lazer Bomb]

The only moves are left, right, the 4 diagonals, and up/down to duck, right?

I only realized the left/right/dodge at first.

[Sowelu]

Those are the only moves I know of.  You have a total of EIGHT positions.  Left/upleft/downleft, right/upright/downright, guard, and neutral.  You can actually reflect shurikens in neutral stance, if they're aimed just right.

A good strategy is to hold down the arrows.  You don't have to swing at a ninja to hit him, he just has to run into your sword (or chuck a shuriken at it).  So just keep your sword out in the direction you want to be ready in.

[eerr]

if you block lots of shurikens while ducking, ninja won't jump on top of you.
it's dangerous, but really pays off later when the ninja move faster than the shurikens.
(over double at level 14!!)

where the ninja lands determines whether he slides, jumps, both if and when he throws a shuriken.

epic seems to be the last title, except for a unique title for the ultimate high score
(as shown in someone's old video)

his back is slightly more sensitive to ninjas... compared to the way he faces normally.

[Lazer Bomb]

Also try holding down left + right, its a weird move that seems useless.

My score: 37 

[Cheeetar]

62, rank of Daimyo, level 7.

[Jusal]

Damn this game is addictive.

73 score.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

33

[Kashyyk]

40, Ronin.
57, Samurai.
70, Shogun.

[Haven]

81: Musashi.

Fun.

[woose1]

What does "Ronin" mean?
I saw that in Cortex Command, thought Data had just made it up.

[Haven]

I think it would be a samurai without a shogun.

Also, 105: Champion

[Boksi]

It's a rogue samurai. A mercenary, if you will.

[mainiac]

It's a rogue samurai. A mercenary, if you will.

Or a bandit, or an ex-retainer or any other type of unemployed samurai.

[Sowelu]

Also try holding down left + right, its a weird move that seems useless.

My score: 37 

Not that useless, actually useful in higher levels.  That's a neutral stance that takes less time to strike left or right from it.  So if you expect attacks from either direction and need to respond instantly...
