1. INTRODUCTION
	Hello, my name is Ryan Chiang, and I am known to GameFAQs as SpikeDragon.  
This FAQ is for the game Inuyasha � A Feudal Fairy Tale.  In this FAQ, you 
will learn how to use and control the character Shippo.  The reason I decided 
to make this FAQ is because I saw none for Shippo.  I felt bad for the little 
guy, so who else would be good enough to make him a FAQ but I?  Well, anyway, 
believe it or not, this is my first FAQ, so I hope you like it.
=======================================================================

2. ADDITIONAL COPYRIGHT
	I decided to add this in case I missed something.
Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale is copyright 2003 by Rumiko Takahashi.  
2002-2003 Bandai, Sunrise, etc.  Trade marks and copyrights contained in this 
document are owned by the copyright holders.

3. WHO IS SHIPPO?
	You may be asking yourself this question right now.  Who exactly is Shippo?  
Well, I'm about to tell you right now.  Shippo is a small Fox Demon, who met 
Inuyasha and Kagome during their journey.  Despite his small size, he was a 
big help.  Because he is fast, a quick-attacker, and quite nosey, he's 
actually quite useful along the journey.  Now he and his friends continue 
their quest to obtain all the pieces of the Sacred Jewel.
=======================================================================
	
4. MOVE KEY
Well, since I am sort of lazy, I decided to use abbreviations for the control 
button needed for the moves I list.

D=Down

=======================================================================

5. USING SHIPPO
	Now, here's the section of my FAQ where I tell you how to use Shippo.  
Although he is very small, Shippo is a master at dodging attacks.  The other 
players cannot touch him with move of their attacks because Shippo is about 
1/4 their size!  You can go up close to your opponents and use the Multiply 
Spell, or attack from afar and use the Fire Bomb.  You can confuse the 
opponent by using Transformation, and them off with Shippo's almighty 
Illusory Top.
	Like I said earlier, Shippo is hard to attack because of his height.  Most 
of your opponents can attack him with their normal attacks unless he jumps.  
Although Shippo has weak attacks, you can use his height to your advantage.  
Stay far away from your opponent because most of their long range attacks 
can't touch him.  Use your long range attacks to get rid of most of their 
health.  If you want to use close ranged attacks, be careful, because it's 
easier to hit Shippo at close range.  Do quick charges toward your opponents, 
and continually use combo attacks.  By doing so, you can beat most everyone 
with this little 
demon.
	Shippo can snatch his opponent's Jewel Shards with his Fox Fire attack.  The 
Fox Fire attack is close range, so don't try it from a distance.  Although 
this attack isn't very strong, it can take multiple Jewel Shards from your 
opponent with one usage.  Use this to your advantage to gain power, and 
you'll be unstoppable.
	That's about all you need to know to master Shippo.  Now, on to the next 
section of Shippo's FAQ.
========================================================================

6. SHIPPO'S SKILL/MOVE LIST
	Now, here I will tell you how to use each of Shippo's attacks.  Most of them 
are tricky, so be sure to practice them a lot.

Weak Attack � W(T): Shippo continues combo moves against the opponent.  This 
attack is quick, but weak.
Strong Attack - S(C): Shippo continues stronger, but slower combo moves 
against the opponent.
Multiply Spell � S: Shippo will multiply into three, and attack the opponent.
Fire Bombs (Firecrackers) � U+B: Shippo tosses a firecracker at the opponent, 
burning them and taking out health.  This attack will only work if Shippo is 
in midair, so be sure to do so.
Transformation � D+S: Shippo will transform, and mimic his opponent's looks.
*Fox Fire* - Shippo engulfs himself in flames.  This attack can be used to 
snatch Jewel Shards from the opponent.
Illusory Top (SA) � F+F+S: This is Shippo's Special Attack.  He will hurl a 
huge spinning top at the opponent, dealing massive damage.
========================================================================

7. IN-DEPTH MOVE LIST
	Many of you may not know what I mean about the attacks in the move list, so 
this section of the FAQ will tell you more about each move.  This excludes 
the strong and weak attack combo moves.  Be sure to try out these moves, 
and master them so you can be sure you'll wipe out the competition with 
this small fox demon.

MULTIPLY SPELL is a medium ranged move.  This move allows Shippo to 
multiply into 3.  All 3 of him will then charge at the opponent, dealing 
damage based on when the attacked landed (at the beginning, in the middle of 
the attack, etc.)  This attack is quick, and can be used to knock 
opponents off guard, or take out a bunch of health.

FIRE BOMBS, also known as FIRECRACKERS, is a long ranged move.  In this move, 
Shippo leaps into the air, tossing several firecrackers towards the 
opponent.  Once landed, the firecracker explodes, severely damaging the 
opponent's health (and skin!)  You must be sure Shippo jump when he 
uses this move, because if he doesn't you won't use the attack you 
were planning to.

TRANSFORMATION allows Shippo to mimic the opponent's looks and moves
(example: if your opponent is Kagome, Shippo will transform into 
Kagome, mimicing all of her looks and attacks). It can 
easily be stopped by attacking Shippo with a Special Attack.

FOX FIRE is a close-ranged attack.  This move completely surrounds 
Shippo in flames.  When close to an opponent, even a 
single attack with this move can knock multiple Jewel Shards out of the 
opponent's possession.  Once the jewel shards are obtained, 
Shippo's attacks will become more powerful.  This attack 
is very useful to gain power, especially against tough opponents, 
such as Naraku, or Kikyo.

ILLUSORY TOP is Shippo's Special Attack.  When you use this attack, Shippo 
will shoot a large spinning top at the opponent.  Once landed, the top will 
strike the opponent multiple times, making a decent combo hit, and dealing 
massive damage to the opponent's health.  When using this attack, 
Shippo's special attack meter will go down, so be sure you are using 
this attack at the right time.

You are almost done reading this FAQ.  Just a few sections to go!
==========================================================================

8. CLOSING
	Overall, I think that Shippo is an amazing character.  He's quick, powerful, 
and kind of cute, too!  I encourage people to use Shippo in their battles, 
simple because he is active, extremely fast, and short!  May the short rise, 
and take on people larger than they are.  I hope you enjoyed reading my very 
first FAQ, and may we meet again.
