Q : How to kill armored samurais like regular enemies ?
A : Sneaking up behind a samurai is impossible. They are very sensitive. However, if you watch kazak0914's vids, you just can't figure out how he can treat samurais like shit.
OK, this technique only work on Tenchu 4 (Japanese version). Just follow the step 1-2-3.
1. With samurai's back towards you, run and jump to his left side. coz samurai always turns his head to the right when hearing a suspicious sound.
2. Press Z immediately when jump landing. This will neutralize noise so you won't get caught. This ain't work on Tenchu Shadow Assassins (USA version).
3. A Hissatsu prompt will appear. Now it's time to kick his butt.
