Private Life: Karina's family of three consists of herself and her two parents: her father, an international pilot, and her mother, a former stewardess that now manages a boutique. Her father is tough, but cool and popular. The nature of his job often keeps him away from home. Her mother is a self-confident combination of wit and beauty. Karina is shocked at how her mother can keep such a tight hold on her father through all his time away and bring the family together. Both her parents don't have enough time at home; since elementary school, Karina has been doing much caretaking at the house. She admits her one and only best friend is her pet frog named Kero-pyon. Ever since the summer of her first year of middle school, when Karina incubated and then hatched him, Karina has been walking around taking Kero-pyon with her. Kero-pyon is the only one who eases her mind. Fighting Techniques: Kero-kero Heat Press - Kero-pyon makes a fiery leap into Karina's opponent at her beckoning.

Private Life: She usually spends everyday healthy. She takes a blow to her ego whenever her name "Mitarai" is misread as "O-tearai" (Lit. washing one's hands, but it also a term to refer to "toilet/bathroom"). Kiyoko gets a little angry and wants to do anything and everything she can to someone when she hears that. She also isn't fond of the name "Wild Girl Kyon-Kyon".

The difference is of course, Kiyoko's speed, and the fact that instead of tagging her opponent with the mitt, she kicks at her opponent's head. Needle Spike (In the air) Kiyoko's air throw; she grabs her opponent, then flips in mid air, bringing her opponent down under her foot. ============================================================================== Cathy Wild ============================================================================== Sex: Female Birthdate: February 20 Zodiac: Pisces Blood Type: O Height: 176 cm Weight: 56 kg Three Sizes (B-W-H): 89-60-87 School Grade: 3rd Year/Senior School Class: C Attendance Record: No. 8 Club: Pro-Wrestling Fan Club Years w/o A Boyfriend: She has a fiance Likes: Karaoke Dislikes: Sitting/squatting Japanese style Favorite Word(s): "Icchi-ba~~~n!"

Private Life: He plans to do the activities he's been hiding from others; sneaky. He's PETTY and reeks of STINGINESS. Fighting Techniques: -- ============================================================================== Genichirou Shindou (Shindo) ============================================================================== Sex: Male Birthdate: January 1 Zodiac: Capricorn Blood Type: O Height: 175 cm Weight: 72 kg Occupation: Principal of the Ryouran Girl's Institute Club: None Likes: Traditional culture Dislikes: Nothing in particular Desk Motto: "Fumitake ryoudou." (A cultured warrior goes both ways.) School Life: Genichirou believes that a person that needs today's Japan should believe in a good wife and wise mother, daily, and nightly education for better upbringing. He also believes a healthy body must bear great know- ledge; not just studying, but also physical exercise will add strength to it. The real truth is that the many graduates of the Ryouran girl's school go on to do various activities. He is respected by the students and viewed as a father figure. Private Life: As Tamaki's father and educator, looks over and protects his daughter at school. Fighting Techniques: Kenkon-itteki - Genichirou throws out a red cloud of energy similar to Nana's Resshu-Ha, but without the pushing-away properties. Shitsujitsu-Gouken - Genichirou performs a jumping uppercut in which he spins at the apex of his jump. Shippuu-Dotou - Genichirou dashes through his opponent with a multi-hit straightforward punch. On strong attack buttons instead of punching through, he brings his punching hand upward and then causes an explosion under said arm. Garyuu-Tensei (Super Technique) - Genichirou throws a screen-height blue "cutting" projectile at his opponent. Similar to the technique used by Zankuurou Minazuki in Samurai Spirits/Showdown 3 and IV. Taizan-Meidou (Super Technique) - Genichirou punches forward, then if it connects, he follows up with a Shitsujitsu- Gouken that sends his opponent into the sky. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Move Name Translations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============= Asuka/Tetsuko ============= Enshin-Hasaiken: Centrifugal Crushing Fist Enshin-Rensatsuken: Centrifugal Repeated Kill Fist Keriage: Kick Up ============= Karina ============= Kero-Kero (Attack name) = "Kero" is an onomatopoeic word that means the sound that frogs make (in English, it's commonly said as "ribbit"). ============= Tamaki ============= Hyakuretsu Serve: 100-times Violent Serve Geigeki V: Ambush Attack Victory Yougeki V: Ambush (Intercepting) Attack Victory Kougeki V: Attack Victory Robu-Otoshi: Lob Drop ============= Kiyoko ============= Dai League Softball Hachi-Gou: Big League Softball No. 8 Gettsuu Striker: Double Play Striker ("Gettsuu" = "Get Two", which means a double play in Japanese) Tsuutenkakudahou: Passing Through The Towers of Heaven Batting Form Shin Tsuuteknakudahou: True Passing Through The Towers of Heaven Battle Form ============= Cathy ============= Itekomashi Special: Going For It Special Buchikamashi Crash: Face Strike (Sumo) / Hard Punch Crash ============= Megumi ============= Ponpon Attack: Pom-Pom Attack Kerikeri Punch: Kick-Kick Punch Ponpon Upper: Pom-Pom Upper(cut) Fumifumi-Nokkari: Stomp-Stomp Hop-On Dekkai Ponpon Attack: Giant Pom-Pom Attack Ebisori Punch: Shrimp/Prawn's Curve Punch Kopuresu: Little Press ============= Ryuuko ============= Tatsumaki Recieve: Whirlwind Recieve Inazuma Serve: Flash Of Lightning Serve ============= Nana ============= Fuugessen: Wind Moon Fan Resshu-Ha: Split Attack Rending Ushiwaka no Mai: Ushiwaka (surname)'s Dance (the name Ushiwaka means "cow youth") Ouka-Rengeki: Cherry Blossom Repetitive Attack Butousouenjin Ichi: Dancing Sword Blue Flame Position One Butousouenjin Ni: Dancing Sword Blue Flame Position Two ============= Torami ============= Haouken: Ruling Leadership Fist Souryuuken: Twin Dragon Fist Tobishitsu Kakato Otoshi: Flying Knee Heel Drop Shinkuu Tobisokutou: Vacuum Flying Foot Blade Rairyuu Haouken: Thunder Dragon Ruling Leadership Fist Rairyuu Shougeki Ha: Thunder Dragon Shockwave Rairyuu Hougekikyaku: Thunder Dragon Bombarding Kick Sokkan-kudaki: Close-range Smash ============= Shinobu ============= Banchou Bazooka: Gang Leader Bazooka Banchou Dynamite: Gang Leader Dynamite Banchou Tornado: Gang Leader Tornado Banchou Striker: Gang Leader Striker Bukkomi Tokkou Kick: Inside Thrusting Special Aggression Kick Hissatsu Megaton Bazooka: Certain Kill Megaton Bazooka Hissatsu Megaton Dynamite: Certain Kill Megaton Dynamite ============= Ichiko ============= Nekkyou!

Well, hope you all enjoy, I might add Fumimaro in a future version if enough people want to know about him. See you around next FAQ!! ---- Batsu Version 0.2: Well, now having played the game (and surprisingly, through its simplicity it's pretty good!) I needed to make a few adjustments. More to come! --Batsu Version 0.3: Just got Tetsuko and Genichirou... and they kick butt! ...but man, 20 hours of game play. Those who have the game remember to save it every time you play it! Whew. Well, catch you later. I'll probably add Fumimaro in the next version. Version 1.0: Added Fumimaro... that guy's kinda weird, isn't he? Heh. Well... hope you all enjoyed it... if any new translations need to be made, I'll make them sooner or later. This is Ichimonji Batsu the Hot-Blooded Transfer Student signing off! Version 1.1: Updated my E-Mail address. I've gotten a chance to play Asuka 120% Final, and for the PS users, it's pretty good. Adding the coolest things about the Saturn version (Limited), and even letting you use Ichiko! She's cool since she's the "Dan" of the game. But nothing really new as far as characters are concerned. Version 1.2: Dang, it's been a while since I've done one of these updates. Needed to fix some shaky, shaky translations, and some other tidbits I found out about the characters (Kiyoko especially). What possessed me to put in another update? Well, there's a page out there with an older version of my FAQ being used (at http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bridge/7475/index.html), and I thought "Whoa... that FAQ needs some work!" Enjoy! Version 1.3: Seeing that my FAQ has been used in yet other places, I have decided to make even more corrections and descriptions to make this FAQ more complete. This may very well be the last update until I find something even more glaring to correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
