A. Intro

This faq is written by me, gaira, (kafuin_gaira@hotmail.com) and is freely
distributable.  That's right!  Do whatever you want with this faq,I'm just
putting it up so that people who want to know more combos for martial masters
get their fill.  Well, kendrick c beat me to the game faq, so I'll just create
one for combos and either let him append it to his faq or submit it separately.

Ok, I'll go ahead and copyright it just in case any of you out there end up
making millions of dollars by selling this thing or using it without my
knowledge ;)

I'm not interested in the formal stuff, so I'll get straight down to the reason
I wrote this thing: combos, combos, combos.  And martial masters is not combo
un-friendly, by any means.  Once you get the idea of how the mm engine works,
you'll be creating your own custom combos in no time.  My current favorite and
highest count is a 51 hit combo with saojin that does over 65% damage, and
damage-scaling can be quite excessive once the hits start to tack on.

Note:  Because kendrick c has already posted a general faq for the game I will
not be covering any information about the characters, nor will I list
special/super moves or their names.  I will just put some of the combo
variations that I know at this time down for each character assuming that you,
the reader, already know the basics of the game.

B. Updates

4-17-2002:  v1.0--first edition of the faq, only half of the characters have
combo listings right now

C. Movelist notation

moves will abbreviated as follows (this should seem real familiar if you've
ever read ANY fighting game faq before):

u=up d=down f=forward b=backward
j=jumping
a,b,c,d=the corresponding button
p=punch k=kick
ab=both buttons at the same time
f+a=joystick forward and a button, etc.
qcf=quarter circle forward
qcb=quarter circle backward
dp=dragon punch
bdp=backward dragon punch
hcf=half circle forward
hcb=half circle backward


D. Combo listings by character

As you may notice, characters are not in alphabetic order, instead they are
listing based on how many combos I know for that character ^_^.  however, all
combos are and will always be confirmed by me before they are posted.  Ok,
finally to the good stuff:

E. What's missing?

As you can see I've only managed to experiment with about half of the
characters so far, but be sure that when I have time to play the other ones,
I'll post up my combos for them.

F. Contact information

If you want to e-mail (kafuin_gaira@hotmail.com) me asking questions about any
of the combos I've listed here, feel free to do so under these circumstances: 
you must put martial masters combo faq in the subject line and the e-mail must
have specific questions about combos or contribution of your own combos, not
anything else about the game or anything else.  Any e-mail that does not adhere
to these very simple rules will be summarily deleted without hesitation.  If
you send in your own combos you will receive credit on the faq for them after I
have confirmed them.

THE END. ^_^

Thanks IGS for this fun game!
