Toshinden 3 is the third installment in one of the very first, if not the very first 3D weapon fighting game. The game has a very lenient input timing and some weird directional input. This guide is meant to help documenting the complete movelist of each character, taken from various sources, including what appears to be a movelist booklet.

Unlockables

Unlockables	How to unlock
Sub-bosses	Clear arcade with the corresponding base character
Shou	After unlocking all sub-bosses, clear arcade at Normal difficulty or higher (tested on Impossible)
Abel	Clear arcade with Shou at Very Hard or higher (tested on Impossible)
Veil	Clear arcade with Abel at Very Hard or higher (tested on Very Hard)
Naru	Clear arcade with Veil at Impossible (tested on Impossible)
Alternate costumes	Clear arcade with Naru at Impossible. On character screen, press A or C

• There are a lot of conflicting info on unlocking. However, my save data indicates that I only have cleared using each base character once on Level 3 (Normal), Vermilion on Level 7 (Impossible), 3 records on Shou at Level 5-7, Abel on Level 6 (Very Hard), then Veil and Naru at each Level 7 (Impossible).
• You can unlock all sub-bosses at Level 0 (Stress Relief), and then set to Level 7 (Impossible) once you get all sub bosses to avoid possible error. The game is not that hard, and can be way easier if you spam combinations that end in strong attack.
