Miyamoto Musashi Genshin was a great man. A sublime swordsman, Musashi also painted, wrote prose and was the ronin's ronin embued with the spirit of a poet. Due to his greatness, many samurai and sword fighters sought to emulate his dedication to training and superior skills. Similar to the first Kengo, players who enter the way of the sword make a commitment to train and endure the rigors of the life. Upon joining a dojo, a certain school of training is assigned to the fledgling swordsman. In addition to mundane training exercises, licensed samurai face members of opposing dojos intent on defending their school's honor. Defeating a rival dojo imparts skill sets taken from their school of fighting, thereby enhancing the winner's abilities. Genki touts enhanced realism in Kengo 2 with the chance of meeting fighters from Japanese history, including the aforementioned Musashi. Fights against single opponents as well as multiple foes are well designed with accurate hits to the body causing levels of damage. The use of defensive postures and parries also come into play to glance oncoming blows and render them null.
