Config.xml
The first thing you must remember is the settings you see in the options have no bearing upon what you have your config set to if you've edited it,
I.E If you change keys in the config.xml you can NOT tell by looking @ the options menu, so don't think they haven't changed, test it in game.
How to keep the settings from reverting back to before you changed it:
This is very easy, first I would advise that you set all of your controls from config.xml and not in the options menu, because if you decide it needs a change and don't do it from the file itself it will revert some of your settings back to before you edited it. After you've gotten your config.xml setup the way you want it I advise that you change the file's properties so the system cannot re-write over the file.
Opening config.xml
If you have not already click open with>choose default program, and choose notepad, now every time you click on an xml document it will be opened in notepad.
Changing the file's properties (Vista)
Open the folder freestylersworldentertainment, find config.xml, right click the file> click properties.
Click the security tab, to change permissions click edit. Now where it says Write you want to check deny under System and Authenticated users. After you've done this click apply each time it is available the file can no longer being changed and if you want to change it you will have to come back here and un-check deny and click apply to be able to save it. IF YOU MUST DO THIS DONT FORGET TO RE CHECK DENY AND CLICK APPLY AGAIN.

Using archtype to improve your aim and FPS (IF GRAPHICS MATTERS TO YOU THIS IS NOT FOR YOU)
Google this: Gunz Archetype and copy and paste the code over the existing /video part of your config.xml
Custom screen resolution
Apart from using archtype the same section of code has your screen resolution, you may feel free to edit this as you wish(My monitor is 1366 x768 so that's what I put it to allow me to see the full game screen.)
Scan codes, what are they and what do they do?
A scancode (or scan code) is the data that most computer keyboards send to a computer to report which keys have been pressed. This means if you want to set one of your keys you must find out the corresponding scan code to put in, typing the key will not work.

"The Pro" Key Config
I've seen and tried many of different key configurations only one have I found suitable for advanced gameplay. I change these and ONLY these keys,
I change melee weapon to 1 and q. I use 1 to switch to my sword when I'm wall-posting and basic rs, and q for when doing LD and LD combos.
I make it so Reload is r and middle button down (click the scroll) R for when RS spamming and middle button down for rsing during LD.
I change Defense to right click and alternative fire to the left shift. This enables you to Butterfly, block, and insta faster and better.
I use the acura dot cross hair, this promotes a higher accuracy.
I use archetype in my edited config.xml, Archteype lowers the graphics of the maps to prevent screen lag and promotes a higher accuracy.
You might find yourself trying to change keys only to have them revert back to settings before you changed them, and if you even open up options and hit ok it will turn archetype off. I will show you how to prevent that and how to set/change keys directly from your config.xml. Go to the post Config.xml

Training
Training is the MOST important thing to focus on, without training you can never hope to get better. Also with training comes questions and if there's no one to answer your questions you can PM me, Larabeast™ on the forums and I'll answer any questions you might have or we can schedule some training sessions.

Advanced Moves
I suggest not to try these moves until you have the others down. These moves are hard to get and require Practice Practice Practice!!!
Triple Butterfly(TBF): This is NOT the same as the double butterfly, with this your slash MUST be a certain speed or you wont be doing it fast enough to slash 3 times before you touch the ground! Butterfly once at the SAME time you jump, and two more times before you hit the ground, this isn't that self explanatory and I will be more than happy to show you in game, just pm Larabeast™ on freestylersworld.com forums if you need TBF help
Late Dash(LD): Late dash allows you to shoot multiple times before you hit the ground. Before attempting this I would suggest to change your reload button to middle button down(Click Scroll) Now, start with your sword out, jump, slash, switch to gun shoot, switch to sword and dash again in the opposite direction, if you can do it fast enough you can add another shot @ the end.
Reload Shot(RS)(2RangedWeps): Press reload at the same time as pressing the key to switch to your second gun AND immediately after shooting the first gun. This technique will work with any weapon that has a long shooting animation. It can be combined with multiple other K-style moves such as Light Step or Half Step
Light Step(LS)(MeleeOnly): Jump, dash, slash, and dash again before you hit the ground. This will train you for half-step and flash-step.
Flash Step(FS): Jump, Slash, Change to gun, Change to melee, Slash. This is a move that lets you slash twice in one jump.
Half Step(HS): Jump, dash, hold slash, change weps, Immediately dash, your gun will shoot.
Sky Block: This move almost always allows you to block a massive attack Anyway, when someone goes to massive you look up in the air and hold your block button. If you are fighting a turtle when u try to slash, they will block. This will make you stop and charge their massive. look up in the air and tap your block button multiple times. If they're looking down as they massive you you look down and block, if they go to 180 sky massive you 180 and block looking up! It's as simple as mimicing what the attacker is doing but while tapping block.
Advanced Wall Post: Go up to a wall, with your sword out jump at the wall and hit slash and jump at the same time switch to your gun(don't shoot) switch back to your sword and keep climbing. If done fast and correct the weapon switching cancels the time it takes to dash at the wall and climb again, thus making in the fastest possible wall climb.
E-Launch(SwordOnly): Okay, you already know how to launch someone in the air with your sword, so we will tell you how to do it from far away! Go to dash double click a movement key right when you hit your second click hit your launch button. If you do this correctly, right when you go to launch you will slide far in which ever direction you choose. This is very easy once you've had lots of practice
E-Lunge: Okay this is like E-Launch but with a dagger. Right when you go to dash forward hit your launch/lunge key this will make you lunge a very far distance. If you want to E-Lunge and not get shot E-Lunge backwards (Right when you go to dash backwards lunge this will make you lunge and then slide back very far.
Quick Medding: For this you need two sets of meds(Preferably health and armor meds). Get out your meds hold your shoot button while you switch through the two sets of meds, thus cancelling the time it takes you to drop two of the same meds(Without quick medding you drop a med about every 3 seconds)
Void Step(VS)(GreatSwordONLY): Ok notice how when you hold down your attack button for a second the slash is faster than if you tap the attack button. Quick and timed holds make this a very leet and damaging weapon.
Triple Butterfly(TBF): This is NOT the same as the double butterfly, with this your slash MUST be a certain speed or you wont be doing it fast enough to slash 3 times before you touch the ground! Butterfly once at the SAME time you jump, and two more times before you hit the ground, this isn't that self explanatory and I will be more than happy to show you in game, just pm Larabeast™ on freestylersworld.com forums if you need TBF help

Novice Moves
Before we move on to Novice moves, I would suggest that you change your block/defense to Right Click and change your alternative attack to shift, this way you can successfully butterfly.
Butterfly(BF): Jump in the air, perform a quick slash, followed by a block. One butterfly should only take a half a second.
Double Butterfly(DBF): This is the same as the Butterfly except you will slash twice before hitting the ground. This would be Slash, Block, Slash, Block, if executed correctly a player can perform 2 slashes before touching the ground in under a second.
Slash Shot(SS): Before attempting slash shot I would suggest you to change Weapon 1 to scroll up & Weapon 2 to scroll down. Start with your melee weapon out, jump, slash, switch to weapon and shoot, switch back to melee weapon.
Monk Slash(MS): Monk slash is a very easy move to complete and can be combined with double butterflies to do serious damage in a very small amount of time. To do a monk slash, without leaving the ground slash once and block, with practice you can be blocking at the time your slash gets out.
Double Monk Slash: This is the same as a single Monk Slash except you're going to spam your attack until you get out two slashes then block.
Triple Monk Slash: This is the same as the Double Monk Slash except you're going to spam your attack then block allowing you to slash three times, If this is done correctly you can be blocking way before you see your third slash.
Butterfly(BF): Jump in the air, perform a quick slash, followed by a block. One butterfly should only take a half a second.
Double Butterfly(DBF): This is the same as the Butterfly except you will slash twice before hitting the ground. This would be Slash, Block, Slash, Block, if executed correctly a player can perform 2 slashes before touching the ground in under a second.

The Most Basic Moves
Double Tap W (With Sword) = Dash Forward
Double Tap S (With Sword) = Dash Backward
Double Tap S (With Sword) = Dash Left
Double Tap A (With Sword) = Dash Right
Hold Left Click (With Sword) = Charged Attack
Hold Shift (With Sword) = Block
Double Tap W (With Gun) = Tumble Forward
Double Tap S (With Gun) = Tumble Backward
Double Tap S (With Gun) = Tumble Left
Double Tap A (With Gun) = Tumble Right
Hold Left Click (With Gun) = Shoot
Wall Run(Vertical) -Stand Facing a wall, hold forward and jump at the same time. This will make you run up the wall in a vertical direction. Great for evasive maneuvers.
Wall Run(Horizontal) -Face the wall at an angle, as soon as you touch the wall hit your jump button, you will start running alongside the wall. you can hit your jump button again to propel yourself away from the wall. This is a great evasive maneuver as well as a killing technique.
Wall Hang(Melee Only) -This move requires a melee weapon to be in use. Jump at a wall and hold your right mouse button. You will hold out your sword and it will catch on the wall, thus letting you wall hang. If you want to use it to get to somewhere high up, while you are hanging hold forward and then jump and hang again to climb the wall. If you don't hold forward when you jump it will propel you away from the wall.
Tumbling(Ranged Only) -This move can only be done with a gun out. Double-tap one of your movement keys(W,A,S,D). This will cause you to dive and roll in that direction. How much you can turn while tumbling is limited. Great for shooting people while dodging bullets.
Dashing(Melee Only) -With a sword out, double tap one of your movement keys. This will cause you to dash in that direction. Dashing is great for being evasive while still doing sword attacks. Dashing is faster than tumbling and can be made very quiet, which is the reason dashing is the preferred way to get around.
Blocking(SwordOnly) -Unlike dashing, which can be done with any melee weapon blocking can only be done with a sword or a set of kodachi's. To block, you must hold your shift key. you can only block for so long before it makes you stop and you have to hit shift again. While blocking you can block bullets, but you cannot block your legs from gunfire. You can block most sword attacks but not a massive.(Without Sky Block)
Massive(MeleeOnly) -A massive strike is a devastating move that makes your sword glow and when the attack is done it stuns your opponent making them unable to do anything for a few seconds. There are only two ways to gain a massive strike. The first way is by successfully blocking a sword attack, the second way is by holding down your attack button, causing you to attack once and then start charging your sword.
Insta -When facing an opponent, hit your right click button. This will cause your opponent to go in the air and land on your back. This move has the same outcome with all 3 different melee weapons, somone helpless on their back. But, they all have different animations. While the sword makes someone go into the air and on their back the dagger insta move makes you lunge at your target knocking them on their back and damaging them. This is a great way to kill someone without taking damage at all.
Wall Post -Have your melee weapon out, run and jump at the wall, as soon as you hit the wall slash and jump at the same time, to repeat this dash forward once and repeat slash, jump simultaneously.
Once you've mastered the most basic moves go on to Novice moves.
