Many people ask for Shikai/Bankai, so I've decided to make a guide for it.
The Following Shikai/Bankai in the game are these:
Ichigo, Hitsugaya, Zaraki, Ikkaku, Gin, Hinamori, Renji, Byakuya, Jiroubou, Kira, Mayuri, Rukia, and Yumichika.
Many people prefer Byakuya's/Ichigo's Shikai/Bankai, but lets get ot the point. ^_^
Hitsugaya
Choosing: Power --> Freeze And Kill (or something similar).
Shikai Attack: Normal/Shoot Dragon.
Master Way: Shoot Dragon.
Hitsugaya's Shikai does not change the sword, but it lets the user shoot an Ice/Water Dragon that can freeze anything it hits (players/NPC).
Bankai Attack: Normal/Shoot Dragon.
Hitsugaya's Bankai gives a small boost to the player's stats.
It lets the player to shoot the Dragon (like before), and normal attacking gets stronger.
The player has now huge Ice wings and tail.
Master Way: Attack.
Ichigo
Choosing: Power --> Power And Speed.
Shikai Attack: Getsuga Tenshou (white).
Ichigo's Shikai doesn't wear off ever, thats why its really nice to use it.
It stays as the big black sword all the time.
Getsuga Tenshou in here is a white wave with lightblue edge and looks a bit like a Hitsugaya user did it.
Mastering Way: Already mastered.
Bankai Attack: Instant Transmittion/Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou.
Ichigo's Bankai lets the user use 2 additional speicals, although again, one is less effective.
Instant Transmittion is more like a Shunpo, where the user uses this "Shunpo" and leaving an illusion of himself behind to confuse.
Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou is just like the Getsuga Tenshou from before, only black and red on the edge, as well as its stronger.
Master Way: Attack.
Not sure thou if you need to attack the air or something...
Zaraki
Choosing: Power --> Pure Power.
Shikai Attack: Unknown yet...
Zaraki's Shikai gives a yellow aura surrounding the player, like Zaraki Kenpachi did on the battle against Ichigo (in a different way, but still...).
It seems this Shikai gives some kind of a boost to all stats, so mastering it will be easier.
Master Way: Killing.
Bankai Attack: Unknown yet...
Zaraki's Bankai gives a huger aura surrounding the player, as well as it seems to give more boost.
Mastering Way: Killing other players.
Ikkaku
Choosing: Power --> Pure Wepon Power.
Shikai Attack: 3-radious normal attack.
Ikkaku's Shikai looks like some kind of a monchaku.
Since its 3 instead of 2, Ikkaku's Shikai allows the user to attack for 3 radious, attacking about 1-3 times and pushing back.
Mastering Way: Attacking.
Bankai Attack: Attack.
Ikkaku's Bankai gives the player 3 huge "swords" (more like axe thingies) that surround him.
It gives the player amazing huge over attack, which becomes pretty useful.
Mastering Way: Attacking/Killing.
Although in many games, its lagged.
Ichimaru Gin
Choosing: Long Ranged --> Skrewing Multiple Enemies.
Shikai Attack: many-radious normal atack.
Gin's Shikai doesn't change the appearence at all, but when the user starts attacking, his sword can reach something like 7-radious attack!
Thats the useful thing, as Shinsou (Gin's Shikai) can attack form affar and block attacks approaching. ^_^
Mastering Way: Attacking Air (nothing).
Bankai Attack: field atack
Gin's Bankai doesn't shows any name, the user just uses it!
The good thing about Gin's Bankai, is that it attacks for a whole field, with a 5X5 radious atack!!
Gin's Bankai simple attack can block anything that comes from any direction I guess, using that field attack. ^_^
But some say its a bit weaker than the Shikai...
Mastering Way: Attacking.
Hinamori Momo
Choosing: Long Ranged --> Ranged Reiatsu Blasts.
Shikai Attack: Reiatsu Blast/Own Byakurai.
Hinamori's Shikai is very oftenly chosen, but its still used sometimes.
It allows the user to normaly attack from a 1-radious range, but in normal attack from afar (3-radious+) it shoots a Reiatsu pink blast at the enemy, which gets stronger as the Shikai is mastered.
Its second attack can be used only when mastered: Hinamori's Shikai has some kind of its own version of Byakurai (a pink Byakurai) which is stronger.
Mastering Way: Attacking walls (Yes, its strange. O.o).
Bankai Attack: None.
Hinamori's Bankai hasn't even been thought about!
Although some people thought of ideas for it, no one has posted it.
Mastering Way: Unknown yet (and will stay as it has no Bankai meanwhile).
Abarai Renji
Choosing: Controlling --> Series Of Powerful Strikes.
Shikai Attack: ?-radious normal attack.
Renji's Shikai is becoming some kind of a sword-whip thing.
It can stretch, and that gives the player the ability of attacking for a long-radious attack (not tested yet, however, seems for something like a 5-radious or so).
Mastering Way: Attacking.
Bankai Attack: Moving/Higga Zekkou.
Renji's Bankai doesn't appear on the user, but on the screen.
You probably know how it looks.
The user himself can't move by the arrow keys, as now, its controlling Zabimaru.
If it touches something, it will hit it.
Zabimaru leaves its body behind, giving the opportunity of using Higga Zekkou:
If an enemy is standing on the body itself, he'll get hit by the user's Reiatsu, which contacts Zabimaru together.
Mastering Way: Attacking (no Higga Zekkou).
Kuchiki Byakuya
Choosing Way: Controlling --> Ripping Your Opponents Apart.
Shikai Attack: Invisible damage.
Byakuya's sword becomes into many petals that takes few platforms.
The user can move normally, but Shunpo is replaced with the petals.
As the user clicks somewhere on the screen, the petals will move there (in peices) and if someone touches the petals, he'll get hurt by invisible damage (he cannot see himself getting hit).
The user himself can safely go inside the petals, not getting hurt and being defended.
Mastering Way: Moving upon enemies.
Bankai Attack: Invisible Damage.
Byakuya's Bankai makes more petals from earlier, starting by lines.
Its the same as before, only with more petals.
Mastering Way: Moving upon enemies.
*Speical: Scene Of Masscere (or something).
This is a speical attack learnt after mastering Bankai.
In here, the petals disappear and the target (on the screen) will be trapped along with the user inside a pink-sword cage.
The user gets his sword back, but it looks a bit different and the stats are boosted.
Jiroubou
Choosing: Controlling --> Slashing Your Foes With Small Blades.
Shikai Attack: Slashing Shuriken.
Jiroubou is kind of the most unfamaliared character in the whole game, but the Shikai is chosen a bit.
The user's sword disappeares, and instead, many "small" (its supposed to be small, but its big) 2-bladed Shuriken appears on the screen.
Its the same as Byakuya's, only here the enemies see the damage.
AS its the same, the blades move at the same way and the user can freely move.
Mastering Way: Moving upon enemies.
Bankai Attack: Slashing Shuriken.
Again, Shikai and Bankai are similar to each other.
Not much to explain, only more blades appear and they get more deadly.
Mastering Way: Moving upon enemies.
Yumichika Ayasegawa
Choosing: Using Effects --> Absorbing Your Foe's Energy (or something).
Shikai Attack: Drain
Yumichika's Shikai is nearly not chosen at all, thats why it was difficult to find out this.
Yumichika's Shikai makes the sword become a little "circled" on its edge.
Once the Shikai is mastered, the sword will split into 4 blades on the sword hilt.
It has no speical attacks untill mastery, as then it can attack in all directions all at once, absorbing the foe's power.
This attack is called "Cyclone Slash".
Mastering Way: Attacking.
Bankai Attack: None.
Yumichika has no Bankai in all games... yet.
Mastering Way: Yet to be known.
Mayuri
Choosing: Using Effects --> Screwing The Enemy With Effects.
Shikai Attack: None.
Mayuri's Shikai is called Ashisogi Jizo, and is a posion-type Zanpakuto.
It will change into some kind of a yellow sword with 3 blades.
The Shikai has no speical attack, but this pays off in Bankai state.
Mastering Way: Attacking.
Bankai Attack: Posion Spit.
Mayuri's Bankai is a huge, worm-like with human face creature.
Its normal attack is to spit posion (which will appear as purple gas) for 3-radious maximum.
Its really useful, since it can stop attacks and posion enemies.
Mastering Way: Attacking (posion).
Izuru Kira
Choosing: Using Effects --> Stopping The Enemies.
Shikai Attack: All direction attack/Slowing down.
Kira's Shikai is said to be dumb and not useful, but no one ever tried it out.
Kira's Shikai will make the sword's edge become a square hook.
It will allow the player to attack in all directions all at once (for 1-radious) even without mastery!
Slowing down is tested, but not sure.
Pretty much this comes after mastering the Shikai.
Mastering Way: Attacking (be careful with players near you).
Bankai Attack: None.
Kira's Bankai has been suggested, but not accepted.
Kira now, lays without a Bankai...
Mastering Way: Yet to be known.
Kuchiki Rukia
Choosing: Using Effects --> Freezing The Enemies For A Long Time.
Shikai Attack: Tsukishiro.
Rukia's Shikai is ice-type, but a bit different from Hitsugaya's.
Rukia's normal attack will sometimes show on the textbox "???: Tsukishiro!" and the opponent that has been attacked will freeze.
This means you've attacked with the speical of the Shikai.
The bad thing is, that you can't know when it will happen, so there's no telling when you'll get lucky or when you're doomed.
Mastering Way: Attacking with Tsukishiro.
Bankai Attack: Tsukishiro/Haruken (or something).
Although it didn't happen in the series, Rukia here, has a Bankai.
The white sword from before will glow a bit more and will absorb Reiatsu balls from the air (thats what it seems like, thats the icon).
Like before, unknown timing with the Tsukishiro, but the user gets another attack, the Haruken (or something).
This attack will send a wave of freezing icicles (the icon of freezed player/something) towards the enemy and once it hits, he'll freeze for a few seconds (depens on mastery).
Here, you can find your chance!
Mastering Way: Attacking (both Tsukishiro and Haruken).
