Golden Axe: The Duel Special Moves List Version 1.7 Last Updated: 12/23/06 CONTENTS - Introduction - Version History - Basic Controls - Characters - Credits \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ INTRODUCTION This is a special moves list for the game, Golden Axe: The Duel, on the arcade. The moves should, however, work on the Sega Saturn version as well. Other than the super move for the character Golden Axe, this guide is complete. He actually may not even have a super move since he's not meant to be playable. If you have any questions, comments, or would like to contribute to the FAQ, just email me or post on the board.

The difference would be in the power and speed of the move. Special and super moves performed with a weak attack tend to be less powerful and slower than ones performed with a strong attack. Super moves can only be done when you have powered up. To power up you must first collect 5 magic bottles, which are dropped by the blue elves when you hit them. Once you have 5 magic bottles, press all three Punch or Kick buttons simultaneously, it's the same with either combination. Your magic meter will now say "Magic Power" and you'll see a bar begin to decrease. The powerup will last for about 10 seconds. From here until your magic power wears off, you'll be able to do super moves and your attacks will do more damage. Grab moves are done by standing right next to the opponent and pressing either F or B with usually a strong attack. Most of the characters have two grab moves using the SP and SK buttons. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ CHARACTERS ============ |KAIN BLADE| ============ Grab Moves Suplex Throw: B+SP or F+SP Special Moves Fireball: D, D/F, F, P Sword Uppercut: F, D, D/F, P Leap Kick: D, D/B, B, K - press K repeatedly to followup with a triple kick combo Super Move Flame Engulf: F, D, D/F, F, U/F+P ============= |MILAN FLARE| ============= Grab Moves Grab Punch: B+SP or F+SP Leg Choke: B+SK or F+SK Special Moves Fireball: charge B, F+K Sword Spin: charge B, F+P Sword Spin (upward): charge D, U+P Dive Attack: charge D, U+K - Fist Clap (followup): press P when right above opponent - Tornado Spin (followup): press D+SP when right above opponent Super Move Cyclone: charge D, D/F, F, U/F, U+K - press P when right above opponent ================== |GILLIUS ROCKHEAD| ================== Grab Moves Head Ram Throw: B+SP or F+SP Special Moves Rock Throw: B, D/B, D, D/F, F, P Head Drill: D, D/B, B, P Shoulder Ram: D, D/F, F, K Rock Fury: F, B, F, SP - press P or K repeatedly to keep opponent close to you Super Move Stone to Death: F, D/F, D, D/B, U/F+P ====== |ZOMA| ====== Grab Moves Staff Throw: B+SP or F+SP Fist Clap: B+SK or F+SK Special Moves Frog Spell: D, D/F, F, P Skull Fireball: U/B, D/F+P (in air) Staff Fury: press P repeatedly Staff Spin: D+SP (in air) Air Walk: F, D, D/F, K - press D to get back down immediately Super Move Magic Blast: D, D/F, F, D, D/F, F, P ====== |JAMM| ====== Grab Moves Bite: B+SP or F+SP - press P repeatedly for more bites Stomp Throw: B+SK or F+SK Special Moves Fireball: D, D/F, F, P - hold P, then release for a more powerful fireball (the longer you hold the more powerful, can be held for up to 10 secs. for max. power) Head Ram: charge B, F+P Kick Fury: press K repeatedly Super Move Rage of the Beast: charge B, F, D, D/F, P ============= |DEATH ADDER| ============= Grab Moves Slam: B+SP or F+SP Grab Throw: B+SK or F+SK Special Moves Energy Wave: charge B, F+P Flaming Shield: B, D/B, D, D/F, F, P (must have shield) Drop Kick: D+SK (in air) Super Move Ultimate Death Explosion: F, D/F, D, D/B, B, WP+MP+SP (right next to opponent) ====== |KEEL| ====== Grab Moves Dagger Twirl: B+SP or F+SP Special Moves Icicle Throw: D, D/F, F, P Icicle Stab: D, D/B, B, P Ice Blast: F, D, D/F, P Slide Kick: D, D/B, B, K Teleport: F, D/F, D, K Super Move Blizzard: D, D/B, B, D, D/B, B, P ===== |DOC| ===== Grab Moves Overhead Throw: B+SP or F+SP Special Moves Dodging Slash: F, D/F, D, D/B, B, P - hold P to followup with an electric uppercut Dodging Hop: F, D/F, D, D/B, B, K Slash Uppercut: charge D, U+P Electric Stab: D, D/F, F, P (right next to opponent) Triple Kick: F, D, D/F, K Super Move Lightning Strike: F, D/F, D, D/B, B, F, P ======= |GREEN| ======= Grab Moves Lift Choke: B+SP or F+SP Knee Bash: B+SK or F+SK - press K repeatedly for more knee kicks Special Moves Face Press: F, D/F, D, P while jumping towards or away from opponent Super Slam: 360 rotation, K (right next to opponent) Dodging Dash: charge B, F+K - Uppercut (followup): D, U, P Whirlwind Hammer: hold WP+MP+SP, release (the longer you hold, the more damage) Super Move Vine Entanglement: 360 rotation, WP+MP+SP (right next to opponent) ========= |PANCHOS| ========= Grab Moves Bomb Implant: B+SP or F+SP or B+SK or F+SK Special Moves Bomb Throw: D, D/F, F, P Timed Bomb: D, D/F, F, hold K, release at anytime to explode Knee Bash: F, D/F, D, D/B, B, K Super Move Mega Bomb: B, D/B, D, D/F, F, U/F+K ============ |GOLDEN AXE| ============ Grab Moves Energy Lift: B+P or F+P Special Moves Energy Beam: D, D/F, F, P Dash Punch: D, D/B, B, P Wave Uppercut: F, D, D/F, P Super Move ???????????
