Super Samurai Slice

Samurai Slice (ゐあひ斬り伝説 wiahigiri densetsu "the legend of samurai slice") is a new Rhythm Game that appears in Rhythm Heaven: The Best +. In this game, the player controls the Wandering Samurai, who has gone back to slicing the dark aura creatures that surround him. His goal is to save the woman that was captured by these dark creatures.

Gameplay
The Wandering Samurai must slice those dark creatures to rescue the princess being kidnapped by their leader. During the game, he will jump on a skateboard, which will make it move quicker to rescue her. Press A button to slice a small demon that pops up from four sides and even one from the river. When you hear a scything tune, that means there is a big demon coming for you to attack you, hold B button to counter its sword attack and then release it to slice a big demon in right time.

Controls

 * A or D-Pad: Slice a small demon
 * B: Guard (hold), counter and slice a big demon (release)

Hit or Miss
