System =============================================================================== ************** * 2.1 Basics * ************** Throw b/f + HP/HK close button required depends on the character; f and b determine where opponent is thrown; some characters may have only one throw Block High b will not block attacks listed as "low" Block Low db will not block attacks listed as "overhead" Dash f, f can attack out of dash Halt b can also halt dash by jumping Backdash b, b has a few invulnerability frames Taunt HP+HK taunts cannot be canceled so you're defenseless until the animation ends Dizzy Recovery shake joystick and tap P and K rapidly after being dizzied Desperation refer to character's requires lifebar to be low movelist for motion and flashing ************** * 2.2 Throws * ************** Normal throws in this game cannot be teched so you take full damage from them. Kim-Maree has a mashable throw where both you and your opponent must mash directions (up, down, left or/and right) and buttons. The one doing the throw must do so to extend the duration of the maneuver and the opponent to reduce the duration of the maneuver. *************** * 2.3 Dashing * *************** While performing a dash, you can cancel its animation by pressing any attack button or by pressing any direction except d/df (unless it's a crouching attack) or f. Dashes are very powerful due to the fact that you can cancel them into throws, and since throws themselves are untechable, it leads to quite a lot of damage if the enemy is playing too defensively. Backdashes, on the other hand, cannot be canceled but they have a certain amount of invulnerability frames. After the invulnerability frames end, you can block immediately so that means there's no recovery frames to perform an action after a backdash (except for Kim-Maree). The following list has the characters' dashes in descending order from longest duration to shortest: Mysterious Lion Thorsten / Kim-Maree Lau Jackie Chan (Five Animal Fist) Sam Yeung Jackie Chan (Baguazhang) Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist) This list has the characters' backdashes in descending order from longest duration to shortest: Kim-Maree Thorsten / Mysterious Lion Lau / Jackie Chan (Five Animal Fist) Yeung / Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist) Sam Jackie Chan (Baguazhang) *Writer's Note* The dashes and backdashes' duration were visually tested so they may not be 100% perfect. ************* * 2.4 Dizzy * ************* A quite uncommon occurrence in this game is the dizzy state that happens when you deal big amounts of damage (multiple hits don't speed up the process, just raw damage in any form, except for throws) without giving the opponent time to recover their (invisible) dizzy meter. The (invisible) dizzy meter will rapidly recover every second you are not being damaged and are in a neutral state. This means that being in a knockdown or juggle state, even if you are not being attacked during them, the dizzy meter won't recover. Blocked attacks also don't stop the dizzy meter from recovering. Some characters can do instant stun combos (example: Mysterious Lion can perform a mini lion bomb into a HP Psycho Lion Crusher which will stun most, if not all, characters). A full dizzy meter in a single combo will roughly require "45%" of damage to fill completely. Not counting the "single combo" example above, a full dizzy meter would usually require for you to deal around "55%" of the opponent's life bar in a very short amount of time to fill completely. This 55% is "always" the same amount you need to do, not counting how much of the dizzy meter the opponent has left. Thus the opponent's remaining life won't change said amount. The last thing of note is that some characters are more resilient to being dizzied than others. Below is a list of descending order from "hardest to dizzy" to "easiest": Hardest to dizzy = Mysterious Lion Regular to dizzy = Thorsten Easiest to dizzy = Lau, Yeung, all 3 Jackie Chan versions, Sam, Kim-Maree *Writer's Note* Do note that the "55%" amount was calculated mainly with Thorsten using fast-recovering Special Moves and then a couple of rapid-fire attacks (using rapid-fire attacks only while keeping the time the opponent is not being dealt damage to the bare minimum works too) and not giving time for the training dummy to breath, since every millisecond the opponent is not being dealt damage, the more damage you'll need to do to completely fill their dizzy meter. That's why the "full dizzy combo" example and the one below of "55%" has only a mere "10%" difference since those mere milliseconds the opponent had to recover his dizzy meter would translate into roughly "10%" more damage you'll need to do to fill it completely. ********************* * 2.5 Chain Strings * ********************* This game offers 2 variations of chainable strings, all of which requires a succession of buttons presses in a certain order. The first one is the chainable string that follows a specific order when it comes to what following attacks you can cancel into. The current attack of a chainable string must connect in order for the next attack to happen. This can also be done while jumping. The order is = Light attacks --> Heavy attacks (LP/LK --> HP/HK). Note that you CAN chain light attacks more than once if switching from standing light attacks into crouching light attacks or in reverse. You can also use the same stance if you chain into different strength light attacks, but only between rapid-fire attacks. An example of this is with Lau using d + LP -> d + LK -> d + LP, etc or d + LK -> d + LP -> d + LK, etc. If doing air chain combos on a jumping opponent, unlike the flowchart described in here, the hitstun from light attacks are not enough to do LP -> LK -> strong attack / LK -> LK -> strong attack. It works only with one light attack to a strong attack (you can chain the first strong into the other, of course, it just doesn't work between light attacks). There's a second string variation (sort of) which is called the link string. This means that during a chainable string or after a normal or special attack, you can attack the enemy again while he's recovering and it will count as a combo. A link string can also be used to reset the "only one attack of the same strength (unless it's a rapid-fire attack) per string" rule. A good example of a link string would be Lau since he cannot chain a Crouching LK into a Crouching/Standing LK normally. However, if you wait a moment after hitting with the first Crouching LK and then do another instead of mashing the button to do a chain, he will actually combo into it. Hence why it's called a link string. ******************* * 2.6 Counter Hit * ******************* A Counter Hit occurs if a Normal or Special Attack connects with the opponent just as they are going to attack or during the attack's recovery frames (regardless if it trades or not). A Counter Hit will allow your attack to deal extra damage. This depends on what part of the opponents' attack animation you dealt the damage. An example of this would be with Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist) using his HP "Jug Throw". Just as it's about to land, if the enemy does an attack, the HP "Jug Throw" can do up to 45% of damage depending on what part of the opponent's attack animation this happened. Command Grabs do not benefit from this. In Kim-Maree's case, however, she will suffer the extra damage if she's attacked while using "Running Lariat Drop." ******************** * 2.7 Total Health * ******************** It appears that the characters in this game have different health totals. This is seen when the same combo is performed on every character and the resulting damage is compared. Below is a list of the total health comparisons between all characters: Highest Total Health = Mysterious Lion Normal Total Health = Jackie Chan (all 3 versions) and Kim-Maree Lowest Total Health = Lau, Yeung, Thorsten, and Sam ************************** * 2.8 Jackie Chan Fights * ************************** Every time you defeat 2 of the 6 playable characters, one of the 3 Jackie Chans will be available to fight. Five Animal Fist Jackie Chan (Level 1) will be available after the 2nd opponent is defeated. You can fight Drunken Fist Jackie Chan (Level 2) after the 4th opponent is defeated. Finally, when all 6 opponents are defeated you can fight Baguazhang JackieChan (Level 3). Defeating one of the 3 Jackie Chan does not count towards the "need to defeat 2 opponents to unlock the next Jackie Chan battle." This only counts the playable characters that you've defeated. Even though you can choose to fight the Jackie Chan characters right away, it is not necessary and you can save them for later if you want. The Jackie Chan characters do more damage than playable characters so they may kick your butt and make you lose a coin, or more! After defeating any of the 3 Jackies, during the next fight, every time your character performs one of their special moves or desperation your character will have some additional sfx while performing special moves. These extra effects that appear on your character last until the special move's animation ends. The following are the effects: Five Animal Fist Jackie Chan = The five animal elements will circle around your character Drunken Fist Jackie Chan = When your special attack damages the enemy (not blocked) a broken jug appears on the enemy Baguazhang Jackie Chan = A flaming dragon head will appear where your character is and when your special move damages the enemy (not blocked) they will covered with flames (the only possible way to see this effect is to keep either Drunken Fist Jackie Chan or Five Animal Fist Jackie Chan alive before defeating Baguazhang Jackie Chan, otherwise the game ends after he's defeated) Also, if you finish the enemy with a special move, a still-image of the Jackie whose's powers you are using, will appear on the background for a few frames (this won't happen if using Kim-Maree's Double Frankensteiner or Ultra Frankensteiner). The added effects only last until you defeat another Jackie Chan (and your current sfx will be replaced by the now defeated Jackie Chan you've fought) or if you lose a match (including a battle between human players). As nice as this may all look, from what I've tested, these effects don't actually provide any bonus at all... they are just for show (not 100% confirmed). =============================================================================== 3.

4. Special KO Animations
===============================================================================

  After dealing the finishing blow in the last round, the defeated opponent 
will be subject to a special KO animation.  You need to defeat the opponent and
wait for the "Finish" prompt, then the next attack or throw (can be during a
single attack, a combo, or a chain string, including link strings) is what the
game will register when checking the possible finishers.  A "Finish" prompt
will not happen if you win via timeout.  If you don't attack the opponent, 
after 5 seconds pass by, they will fall down to the ground automatically 
leaving a pool of blood where they fall.

  A light blow attack (LP/LK) that KOs the opponent usually does some sort of
finish that leaves the opponent in a pool of blood and with a possible "hazard"
happening to them.  A heavy blow attack (HP/HK) that KOs the opponent will 
usually have a more elaborate finishing animation.  Normal or command throws
can also be used to activate a special finisher (This usually leads to the 
"pinball" finisher animation).  Finally, a taunt maneuver will usually lead to
a humiliation.  Note that a light blow attack performed from a combo will
usually lead to a heavy finisher.

  All characters except Jackie Chan (Baguazhang) have an unique finisher 
animation that requires a specific move as the finishing blow to perform it.  
All 3 versions of Jackie Chan are immune to any kind of special finishers. 
Instead, they just pop back up like nothing happened and compliment you by 
saying either "Good Fight" or "You're Getting Better."  Except for all 3 
versions of Jackie Chan (who can still trigger the lightning bolt striking
and the opponent exploding, funnily enough) the remaining characters will 
always make the defeated character leave a pool of blood.  No version of 
Jackie Chan can make blood appear in any finisher whatsoever.  Below is a
list of the finishers:

Light Blow Finishers (LP/LK)

 different holes

 bottom of the screen, disappearing

 floor)

 where they crashed (the crack's size has 2 variations)

 and 1 or 5 swords fall from the sky with a japanese/chinese, dragon logo, 
 japanese/chinese text, or yin/yang symbol appearing
