U T UB _ UF _| |_ (/\) B |_ X _| F S ([])(()) O |_| [] [> (><) DB DF D Select Start X Slash: S (Weak)/ T (Hard) Kick: X (Weak)/ O (Hard) High attack (standing): slash/kick Low attack: D/hold D, slash/kick High defence: hold B Low defence: hold DB Dash forward: tap F, tap F Run forward: tap F, hold F Backstep: tap B, tap B Throw (when close to opponent): B, T/O Low attack: D, slash/kick Air attack: UB/U/UF, slash/kick Air attack (while jumping): slash/kick/special Running attack: tap F, tap F, slash/kick Running attack (while running): slash/kick Roll toward screen: L1 Roll away from screen: L2 Advancing roll: F, L1/L2 Quick dodge : tap F, tap F, L1/L2 Quick dodge (while running): L1/L2 Getting Up: Normal recovery: Do nothing Fast recovery: Hit the attack buttons repeatedly Roll toward screen: L1 Roll away from screen: L2 Roll foward: F Roll backward: B Jump up: U Ground Attacks: When you opponent is down, you may do a close attack (stomp) or a far attack (pounce) on him/her. Note that you must wait til he/she has finished tumbling before you can perform the attack. Stomp (when opponent is on the ground): S+X Pounce (when opponent is on the ground): T+O Duke is too noble to attack a downed opponent. Instead, pressing T+O when the opponent is down will cause Duke to taunt, depleting his opponent's overdrive gauge. Back Attack: When your character's back is to the opponent, you can do a back attack which will also turn your character to face the opponent. Back slash (when back is to opponent): S/T Back kick (when back is to opponent): X/O Back low slash (when back is to opponent): D, S/T Back low kick (when back is to opponent): D, X/O Taunting: Taunt: [select] Taunting increases your opponent's overdrive gauge. You can still defend while taunting. You can also break a taunt by attacking. Special Moves: Special moves are executed using a directional sequence followed by one more attack buttons. Some special moves may be executed using the R1 and R2 buttons, or by pressing all S+T+O+X buttons at the same time. Special move 1: R1 or S+T+O+X Special move 2: R2 or B/F+S+T+O+X Special move 3: R1+R2 or D+S+T+O+X R1+R2 will execute a secret move if the instant secret moves mode (see below) is active. D+S+T+O+X can still be used to access special move 3. Overdrive (when overdrive gauge is flashing): S+T+O+X / R1+R2 Desperation (when life gauge is flashing red): S+T+O+X / R1+R2 Characters: The follow list each character's special moves, secret moves, overdrive move and desperation move in respective order. The format is:The format of move names are denoted as follows: "Move" - Character shouts the name as the move is executed. (Move) - Official name not known. Move? - Not sure if name is correct. (air) - Move may be executed only while character is jumping. (air/land) - Move may be performed either on land or while jumping.

A combo will work only when the first hit connects, even if blocked by the opponent. Chain Combos are performed by doing a normal attack/combo followed immediately by a special move, secret move, or desperation move. There are a few variations you can execute: the basic weak-to-strong combo, a chain combo, or a W-S chain combo. 1. Weak-to-Strong Combos As the name implies this simple combo is executed by doing a weak attack immediately followed by a strong attack. There are thus 4 combinations weak-slash-to-hard-slash, weak-kick- to-hard-kick, weak-slash-to-hard-kick, or weak-kick-to-hard-slash (S,T; X,O; S,O; X,T), which you can permutate with high or low attacks to give a possible total of 16 different W-S combos per character. The permutations are: H-H High attack to High attack H-L High attack to Low attack L-H Low attack to High attack L-L Low attack to Low attack All Any of the above H-? First attack must be High Some character's normal attacks can hit from a distance. In some cases, the striking distance may affect the execution of a combo: Far Only works when far Near Only works when near Not all combinations are available on all the characters. The following table lists the W-S combos and any condition(s) require to perform them for each character: ------------------------------------------------- | S, T | X, O | S, O | X, T ================================================= Eiji | All | All | All | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Kayin | All | All | H-L | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Sofia | Near All| All | Near All| All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Rungo | All | All | All | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Fo | All | All | All | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Mondo | All | All | All | All --------|---------+---------+---------+---------- Duke | | | All | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Ellis | All | All | Far | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Gaia | All | All | All | All --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Tracy | All | All | All | All --------|---------+---------+---------+---------- Chaos | All | H-? | | --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Uranus | All | All | All | All --------|---------+---------+---------+---------- Master | All | | All | H-? --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Verm | All | H-? | Near H-?| H-? --------+---------+---------+---------+---------- Sho | All | All | All | All ------------------------------------------------- E.g. Sofia's high weak slash to low hard slash. 2. Chain Combos Basic chain combos may be performed by doing a normal (weak or strong) attack followed immediately by a special move, secret move or desperation move. E.g. Eiji's weak slash to hishouzan (F, D, D, slash) 3. Weak-to-Strong Chain Combos This is simply executed by performing a W-S combo ending in a special move, secret move or desperation move. Very effective in taking a large chunk out of your opponent's life. E.g. Kayin's low weak slash, low hard slash to upper glide (DF, T) Match Bosses Line-up: Each character will fight a semi-random line-up of characters and a arch- rival before fighting the boss(es). The follow table lists the match line-up for the last 3 battles in a 1P game. ------------------------------------ | Rival | Boss1 | Boss2 ==================================== Eiji | Kayin | | --------+--------| | Kayin | Eiji | | --------+--------| | Sofia | Chaos | | --------+--------| | Rungo | Duke | | --------+--------| | Fo | Mondo | | --------+--------| | Mondo | | Uranus | Master --------| Eiji | | Duke | | | --------+--------| | Ellis | Gaia | | --------+--------| | Gaia | Ellis | | --------+--------| | Tracy | | | --------| Sofia | | Chaos | | | --------+--------+--------| Uranus | | Duke | --------| |--------| Master | | Uranus | --------+ ? |--------+--------- Verm | | | --------+ | Eiji | Uranus Sho | | | ------------------------------------ Boss Codes & Hints: To fight Sho, you must defeat the game at level 5 or above without using any continues. When you first start up, none of the bosses are available, and the menu highlight box is yellow. Uranus and Master: At the title screen, as the menu items fly in from the left, do this sequence on controller 1 L1, L2, T, R1, R2, S Alternatively, beat the game at level 4 or above with as many continues as you like. The fastest way is to set the number of bouts to 1. You can choose Uranus and Master when the menu highlight box is cyan. Sho and Vermillion: At the title screen, as the menu items fly in from the left, do this sequence on controller 2 S, R2, R1, T, L2, L1 (reverse of Uranus and Master code) Alternatively, beat the game at level 6 or above with as many continues as you like. Or beat the game using Master at level 5 or above. You can choose Sho and Vermillion when the menu highlight box is red. To select the bosses, highlight the ? at the character selection screen and hold the [select] button to slow down the scrolling. Press S, T, O or X when the required boss's face appears. Instant Secret Moves: After Sho and Vermillion are selectable (see above), as the menu items fly in from the left, do this sequence on controller 1: R1, R2, S, L1, L2, T Alternatively, beat the game using any character. The menu highlight box will turn green. You can now execute any character's secret move by pressing R1+R2. Costume Colors: Each character has 4 different sets of costume and hair colors. Player 1 and 2 cannot both use the same colors. On controller 1, when you highlight a character, you can use S or T to select the original colors, X or O to select the alternative colors. To get the other two sets of colors, highlight the character you want on the ? and press S or X. T and O will select from the original two sets. The follow table details the character colors: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mode | | Original | | Alternative ==================================================================== Normal | - | S/T | - | X/O --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- ? | S | T | X | O ==================================================================== Eiji | black/white | red/white | red/black | blue/white | black hair | brown hair | brown hair | black hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Kayin | white jacket | red jacket | gold jacket | blue jacket | white pants | grey pants | black pants | grey pants | yellow hair | gold hair | brown hair | red hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Sofia | blue dress | black dress | white dress | red dress | green hair | yellow hair | lt brown hair| orange hair | green whip | magenta whip | pink whip | blue whip --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Rungo | black/green | blue/white | lt brwn/white| brown/white | black pants | grey pants | red pants | aqua pants | red hair | green hair | blue hair | blond hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Fo | red/blue | white/yellow | green/black | red/black | grey hair | grey hair | lt brown hair| lt green hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Mondo | white/purple | blue/white | green/black | white/grey | grey hair | purple hair | brown hair | dk grey hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Duke | grey/red | grey/magenta | red/black | gold/red | dk blue hair | green hair | brown hair | blonde hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Ellis | purple dress | white dress | black/blue | red dress | dk green hair| green hair | brown hair | blue hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Gaia | green pants | red pants | purple pants | blue pants | brown hair | white hair | dk green hair| dk grey hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Tracy | brown cap | black cap | blue cap | red cap | magenta hair | blue hair | black hair | orange hair | red uniform | lt green unif| white uniform| black uniform | red/wht guard| wht/yllw grd | blue/wht grd | red/wht guard | yllw/wht tfs | ppl/wht tonfa| blue/wht tfs | red/wht tonfa --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Chaos | red headband | yellow hdband| red headband | red headband | white pants | magenta pants| black pants | green pants --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Uranus | red armor | white armor | blue armor | black armor | black wings | white wings | purple wings | red wings | red hair | blonde hair | lt ppl hair | green hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Master | blue/green | yllw/ppl/wht | grey/yellow | yllw/red/blk | dk red hair | blue hair | green hair | grey hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Verm | purple hair | orange hair | blue hair | white hair --------+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------- Sho | blue/aqua | purple/red | pink/white | brown/black | dk blue pants| black pants | black pants | dk red pants | | brown boots | | black boots -------------------------------------------------------------------- Option Menu: Level .............. Difficulty level. From 1 (easiest) to 8 (hardest). Default 4. Bout timer ......... Length of one bout in seconds. 60, 99 and 00 (unlimited time). Default 60 seconds. Set count .......... Number of bouts needed to win one fight. 1 to 3 bouts. Default 2. Life points ........ Player handicap for VS mode battles only. No effect on 1P games. From 70 to 120. Default 100. Guard type ......... Normal blocking, auto blocking, and no blocking. Default normal blocking. Controller ......... Define the function of R1, R2, L1 and L2 buttons. Special 1 Roll toward Near down attack Block Special 2 Roll away Far down attack Not used Special 3 Auto rolling Special 4 Defaults R1 = Special 1 R2 = Special 2 L1 = Roll toward L2 = Roll away Camera type ........ Changes the camera view. Normal, far, sky and overhead views. Default normal view. There is another option "Control", which will only become available when you do the camera trick (see below). Sound .............. Monoaural or stereo sound output. Default stereo. Character select ... Normal or Fast modes. In the normal mode, a 3D rotating model of the character is shown in the select window. In fast mode, only text showing the character stats are shown. Using Fast mode reduces CD loading time. Default Normal. Camera Tricks: In the option's screen, set all R1, R2, L1 and L2 to "Not Used". Next, set the camera option to "Control", cycle through one of the R1, R2, L1, L2 options until all of them is set to "Camera". Rotate camera: Use R1, R2, L1 and L2 to rotate the camera angles. Works both when paused and while fighting. No gauges: Pause the game and on controller 1, press S+T+O+X and [select]. The options menu will disappear. Do it again and the energy and overdrive guages will disappear. Press start to play without gauges or S+T+O+X+[select] again to get back the menu and gauges. Zoom mode: If controller 1 is set to camera mode and you do the no gauges trick (see above), the R1, R2, L1 and L2 buttons will now control the zooming and vertical scrolling. Frame advance mode: When paused, pressing [select] on controller 2 will advance the game by one frame. Hold down [select] for slow motion. Game bug: I found this bug while playing with the slow motion trick (see Camera Trick above). Pause the game just before your character is about to lose from a final blow. On controller 1, remove the options menu by pressing [select] and S+T+O+X simultaneously. Do it again if you don't like the gauges :) Now, advance frame by frame using the [select] button on controller 2 until the character loses. Don't do anything and the game will keep going into the next round, losing and finally return to the main menu automatically. Now, notice that the options menu and game menu are both active on the same screen! Talk about multitasking. I managed to mess up the text font and graphics that are only loaded at startup, but the game still plays fine.
