Key
================================================================================

Thrill Kill uses the D-Pad, the four main action buttons, and the two left
shoulder buttons. Dual Shock is supported, but analog control is not.  The 
button configuration can be customized, but I will use the default configuration
below to define my abbreviations.

  Square:    QP (quick punch)          LEFT:  left on the D-Pad
  Triangle:  SP (strong punch)         RIGHT: right on the D-Pad
  X:         QK (quick kick)           UP:    up on the D-Pad
  Circle:    SK (strong kick)          DOWN:  down on the D-Pad
  L1:        L1 (block)
  L2:        L2 (crouch)

From what I have been able to gather, the buttons I have labeled strong are not
necessarily stronger than the ones I have labeled quick.  I have just given them
those names to avoid confusion in the moves list.

Some more abbreviations that I use:

  F:   forward
  B:   back
  QCF: quarter circle forwad
  HCF: half circle forward
  FCF: full circle forward
  Charge indicates that you must hold the button down for a few seconds

  jab:        quick punch or kick
  knockdown:  punch or kick that knocks your opponent down
  vulnerable: punch or kick that leaves your opponent vulnerable (like a dizzy)

================================================================================
Basics
================================================================================

Every fighter in Thrill Kill has unique special moves.  However, there are also 
certain moves universal to all the characters. 

  QP: jab                              F-F-QP: running knockdown
  SP: jab                              F-F-SP: running knockdown
  QK: jab                              F-F-QK: running knockdown
  SK: jab                              F-F-SK: running knockdown

  QP+QK: throw 1                       L2+QP: crouching jab
  SP+SK: throw 2                       L2+SP: uppercut
  QP+SP: high counter                  L2+QK: crouching jab
  QK+SK: low counter                   L2+SK: leg sweep
  QP+SK: position swap
  QK+SP: taunt

  Regular Kills (killing a fighter prior to enabling your thrill kill)
  QP: Combo kill
  SP: Knock head off kill
  QK: Knock opponent against wall kill
  SK: Knock opponent into air
  
Every fighter has a move associated with each action button that starts with F
and F-B.  Since they vary, those moves are discussed in each fighter's 
individual section.  Some fighters also have variations on the crouching moves
which are also discussed in their sections.

To execute a thrill kill, enter the appropriate command while the camera is
panning around your fighter, but before the lightning animation starts.  Once
the animation has started, you can release the buttons.  Nothing needs to be
entered to perform the default thrill kill.

Every fighter has a thrill kill which is a combo kill.  The combo kill 
consists of a multi hit combo that ends with the loser exploding.  Every 
character also has a dance kill which makes your fighter (and in some cases
the victim as well) perform a dance.  This is just for fun.

Secrets
================================================================================

Thrill Kill's boss characters are Cain, Judas, and Marukka and they are all fully
playable, except Marukka who can be played in every mode besides arcade. PSM
magazine reported that to release Cain the game had to be completed on medium
level, hard level to free Judas, and very hard for Marukka.  I beat the game
just once on medium level and they were all released.  Give it a try.

All the fighters have 4 immediately available outfits.  The fifth outfit is
released by completing all of the fighter's moves in practice mode.  The bosses 
don't seem to have a fifth  outfit.  Once you have released the bonus outfit, 
hold both L buttons when selecting your fighter.  Here are descriptions of the 
bonus outfits:

  Tormentor - I don't know what the hell he's supposed to be, but he's green,
              wears a Hawaiian shirt, and has sunglasses
  Oddball - some sort of strange looking bear outfit
  Belladonna - ride 'em cowgirl!  Belladonna's got everything from the hat and 
               boots right on down to her Daisy Dukes!
  Dr. Faustus - on his way to the AMA benefit dinner, the doctor sports a tuxedo
                complete with tophat
  Imp - Imp the Pimp!  Watch Imp become a black man, grow a huge afro, and don
        Mr. T style gold chains.  Beware of his very high platform shoes.  Yeah!
  Violet - well, I saw in a magazine she has an alien outfit...but since I can't
           get her Spinal Snap to work, I can't tell you for sure
  Mammoth - hey, kids, it's Mammoth the clown.  Mammoth is stylin' in his bright
            clothes, party hat, and painted face
  Cleetus - shiver me timbers, Phillip, it's Cleetus the pirate!  Complete with
            striped shirt, scarf hat and peg leg, Cleetus will keel haul you

I'll keep you updated on any new secrets I find.

================================================================================
Codes
================================================================================

At this point I am only aware of one code, but it's really cool.

Insant Kill Meter Fill:

 At any time during a fight, simultaneoustly press L1+L2+R1+R2+QP+QK+SELECT
 and your kill meter will instantly fill all the way up.

================================================================================
Game Shark Codes
================================================================================

I don't even have a game shark, so I can't confirm these first hand.  Here they 
are anyway.

These codes come from Kyle "BoneDrag" E. (bigsexyets@hotmail.com)

All arena's unlocked: 801E51D0 07FF

Small problem I had with this one, when you're in one of the two hidden arenas 
fighting a 4-player game, don't do the regular X kill. The character will fall
instead of sticking to the wall and the game will not proceed to the next fight.

P1 Outfit Modifer: 801C87C0 000?
P2 Outfit Modifer: 801C87C4 000?
P3 Outfit Modifer: 801C87C8 000?
P4 Outfit Modifer: 801C87CC 000?

By entering a number between 1-5 you will get a different outfit. 0, 1, and 2 
all give you the normal outfits. Putting 4 in the question marks spot gives you
the hidden outfit. 5 gives you the Gimp. Only use him in practice and Vs. modes.
The gimp freezes a lot too.

Here are some more codes from the Game Shark Code Creators Club 
(http://www.cgmsccc.com)

P1 Quick Kill Meter Fill Up      800DB180 0061
P2 Quick Kill Meter Fill Up      800DB3D4 0061
P3 Quick Kill Meter Fill Up      800DB628 0061

P2 Always Empty Kill Meter       800DB3D4 0000
P3 Always Empty Kill Meter       800DB628 0000

P4 Character Modifier            801C87BC 000?
Have All Characters              801E51CE 07FF

For the character modifiers, here are the values for each character:

 0: Tormentor                6: Mammoth
 1: Oddball                  7: Cleetus
 2: Belladonna               8: Cain
 3: Dr. Faustus              9: Judas 
 4: The Imp                  A: Marukka
 5: Violet               

================================================================================
Rumors
================================================================================

Rumors of another publisher picking up Thrill Kill are once again beginning to
circulate.  It is my opinion that these rumors are left over from several weeks
ago and are just now starting to appear in magazines.  Due to the lead time 
required to publish a magazine (about 6 weeks), these are likely the same rumors
that were circulating around the net in October and have never materialized.  I
believe that there is no recent evidence that indicates a release of Thrill Kill
in the near future.  

Many people believe that EA will use Thrill Kill's engine for an upcoming 
fighting game or a wrestling game.  

Oddball's second thrill kill has been reported as L1+LEFT.  I can't get this to
work.

Marukka's second thrill kill has been reported as QK+L1+RIGHT.  I can't get this
to work either.

Completing every fighter's moves in practice mode is supposed to release the
Gimp as a non-playable opponent only available in practice mode.

Completing the arcade mode on very hard difficulty is supposed to release the 
Sacrificial Ruins and Dante's Cage backgrounds for versus mode.  I have done 
this and the backgrounds remain locked.

================================================================================
The End
================================================================================

Well, that's it for now.  This FAQ is written in my spare time (which I don't 
have much of) so please be patient.  I hope that it will be complete in a couple
of weeks.  If you know of anything else that should be added to this faq, feel
free to drop me an e-mail. Since there are so many combos in the game, I am not
planning on including them in this FAQ unless there is substantial demand.  If
you have anything additional to contribute, I'll give you credit.
