Like other Wrestling games of it's time, Ringside Angel features an officially licensed appearance of JWP Joshi legend Cutie Suzuki amongst a roster of eight other fictional Wrestlers. ================== Update: 2/24/2016: ================== Uncovered the identities of all nine Wrestlers and corrected the order of Miamore Yajima's default movelist. ======================================================== ******CONTROLS****** ======================================================== =============== While standing: =============== A - Punch B - Kick C - --- Approach opponent - Lockup ============== While running: ============== Tap Left twice quickly- Run left Tap Right twice quickly - Run right Left - Stop running right Right - Stop running left A - Punch B - Kick ================= While locking up: ================= A/B/C - Grapple Left/Right + A/B - Irish Whip Up/Down/Left/Right + C - Additional grapples Up/Down + A/B - Additional grapples =========================== While laying on the ground: =========================== Button mash - Get up Button mash - Escape pinfall/submission hold =================================== While opponent is laying on ground: =================================== A - Pin B - Pick up opponent C - Submission ========= Ringside: ========= To re- enter the ring, the player must walk towards the left or right side of the ring and stop walking completely before entering the ring. Once stopped, simply tap Left or Right once to re-enter the ring. Left - Enter right side of ring Right - Enter left side of ring =============== From top ropes: =============== Just like the method used to re-enter the ring, simply walk up to the turnbuckle, stop completely and then climb the turnbuckle. Up + Left - Climb the upper left turnbuckle Up + Right - Climb the upper right turnbuckle Down - Climb down from top ropes A/B - Top rope attack ======================================================== ******GAMEPLAY****** ======================================================== ==================== Character portraits: ==================== The amount of damage a Wrestler has taken is displayed by the Wrestler's individual in-game portrait. As a Wrestler continues to take damage in a match, the Wrestler's portrait will gradually change, reflecting their current state of health: Level 1 - Confident and cheerful (100% health) Level 2 - Focused (75% health) Level 3 - Injured (50% health) Level 4 - Critical (25% health Level 5 - Danger (25 - 0% health) When a Wrestler reaches Level 5, the BGM of the match will change indicating that the fight is near an end. When a Wrestler refrains from taking damage, the Wrestler will regain health which is then reflected in their character portrait. ============== Special Meter: ============== An energy bar used to unleash a Wrestler's strongest attacks. The Special Meter can be filled up by using a Wrestler's kicks, grapples and submission holds on an opponent. Additionally, the Special Meter can also be depleted by being attacked, reversed, grappled or put into submission holds by an opponent. Certain Specialty moves require a substantial amount of energy from the Special Meter before the Specialty moves can be performed. =========== Status Bar: =========== Two rectangular boxes displayed at the upper left corner of the screen during matches which displays the moves and positioning of both Wrestlers during the match. ========== Specialty: ========== A specialty is a specific grapple or attack that the Wrestler has that acts as the Wrestler's finisher; dishing out a higher amount of damage in comparison to other Wrestlers who also possess the same move. ======================================================== ******STORY****** ======================================================== "Many girls in Japan have dreamt for fighting in a professional wrestling federation.

While the Special Meter is flashing, lockup with the opponent and press "C". If successful, the Wrestler will now perform the ultra-secret move "Tornado Spin". ============================ Secret Barrel Slider Attack: ============================ By selecting the "White Snow", "Star Light", or "Grand Champion" difficulty settings, each Wrestler receives a special hidden move called called "Barrel Slider" which is only available on the three mentioned difficulty settings. For those that can't read Japanese, look for the move that starts with "R.----" to access this special move (usually set as the 9th - 11th move in each Wrestler's movelist). ======================= Unlock The True Ending: ======================= Defeat Megadeath Saito in the "Grand Tournament" of 1Player mode. ======================== Fight The Same Wrestler: ======================== In Battles mode, hold START and press A on any Wrestler of choice.
