Quick Timer Events (QTEs)
As you progress through the Shenmue II story, Ryo will encounter events
that will require you to think and react quickly. These events are known
as quick timer events (QTEs) and you execute them using simple one-
button commands.
When a QTE occurs, various controller command icons (q, m, k, o,
a, b, c, and d) appear in turn at the center of the game display. While
the icon is being displayed, press the corresponding controller button as
quickly as possible before the icon disappears.
Command QTE
When it’s time for a Command QTE, D-pad and a, b, c and d
icons appear on the game display.
These icons blink in a speci c order, so make sure to press the correct
button sequence in time. For example, if the
q, a icons appear, press
q, a before the icons disappear.
Fighting
As the storyline in Shenmue II develops, there are situations in which
Ryo must ght. These battles are not limited to simple one-on-one
encounters. On some occasions, Ryo must take on multiple opponents.
During battle, a strength gauge appears in the lower-left corner of the
screen. Once Ryo and his opponent(s) assume a ghting pose, the Free
Battle commences.
Use the many martial arts moves in Ryo’s repertoire to attack and defend:
slap your opponent down when they’re off guard, take advantage of your
opponent’s power, ow when attacked and turn it back on them. Be on
guard and you’ll triumph.
Note:
The button layout on your controller may differ slightly from the one
shown here. Gameplay is exactly the same.
