Castlevania: Symphony of the Night/Weapons


 * If you see any item with "(SS)" label, then it only appears in Sega Saturn version. For each weapon, these labels in description identify a certain control pattern:


 * (A): psx: Down Dpad then psx: Right Dpad then attack button.
 * (B): psx: Left Dpad then psx: Right Dpad then attack button.
 * (C): Press both attack buttons at the same time, with correct item in the other hand.
 * Your final ATT will receive a penalty of -50% STR if actual STR is lower than weapon ATT. For the weapons with variable ATT value, they use their basic ATT value to calculate, which means that weapons like Muramasa (-5) and Badelaire (0) will not have penalty.
