First-hand Information —————————————————————————————————————————————— ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - This FAQ was specifically made for the Japanese Sega Saturn game. To my knowledge, there are no Playstation, Arcade, or PC versions. So there is no need to worry about different controller configurations. - The character dialogue, win quotes, and endings are all in Japanese. There is no way to convert any of that into English. Some of the things have already been translated throughout this FAQ. - It may be beneficial to read the "Combo Notation" section (Section VI) before reading through the combos. There may be symbols and usage that differs from other people's ways to list combos. - Throughout the FAQ, notes are posted on various matters like specific moves and combos from both Synn and myself (along with a couple of extra comments from friends). They are available to not only give the reader more insight, but to also provide a little comic relief. Because face it, reading just a FAQ with just info-info-info are sometimes boring. We try (key word: 'try') to liven things up. - Each of the combo names are from the imagination of Synn and myself. If they're stupid, hey, we tried. =) - Have you the need to print this FAQ, 'WordPad' would be your best bet for great output. Each margin should be 1". Mono-space font (i.e- Courier New) will cause everything to fall into place nicely. - Any corrections, combos, additional info, and/or questions are welcome. Just E-mail what your have to one of the addresses that appear at the top of this FAQ. There is no guarantee ALL will be posted, but whatever does get added in will receive full credit for the work. - If you haven't already, BUY THIS GAME! ——— II.

If it hits an opponent on the ground, it will cause them to become stunned for a second, then collapse to the ground. They cannot be hit during that stun. If the Demonic Pulse hits the opponent when they are off the ground, they will land back on their feet and stagger backwards. They are vulnerable during the stagger. - The Horrid Swarm will track the opponent to a large degree. The swarm of flies will move up and down to follow the opponent's position. If the opponent tries to jump over it, then will backtrack a little. However, if they are avoided with a teleport move (i.e- Hizumi's Tsuchi Gumo no Jutsu) or air dash that puts you on the other side of the screen, the swarm will not go back to strike. The large fly that concludes the super will fly forward to strike regardless if the swarm of flies traps the opponent or not. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Bristol-'D-Day' combo: j.HP \/ c.HP XX [qcf + LK], s.LP > s.LP (> s.LP) XX [qcf + LP-HP-GA],u+K - The KiD's Note: A replica of Remi's stun combo (Combo #1 in her section). The j.HP can inflict up to 8 hits if you attack the opponent early enough, resulting in a large combo (around 16-18 hits). After the [qcf + LK], you may have to step in before attacking with the s.LPs so they combo. 2) Pest combo: [d,d + K], various attacks,u+K - The KiD's Note: Once the first part of the Horrid Swarm hits the opponent, they're unable to move. Pity for them. Bristol-D, on the other hand, can go in there and cause even MORE damage in addition to that large bit of life the fly will take away upon collision. Remember to NOT use an attack that will knock the opponent down or the 2nd part of the Horrid Swarm will miss. 3) Wild Cat combo: Opponent in corner. [f,f + GA], [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + LK], s.LP > s.LP > s.LP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K - The KiD's Note: As soon as the [f,f + GA] floors the opponent, immediately dash again and do the [f,f + LP]. It will hit twice off the bounce from the [f,f + GA]. 4) Various Demon combos: Opponent in corner. j.HP \/ s.HP XX [qcf + HP] Close to opponent in corner. s.GA XX [qcf + LK], Throw j.HP \/ s.HP XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcb + LK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K 5) GA combos: Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcb + DA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcf + LK], s.LP > s.LP XX [f,d,df + HP],u+K j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + LP] XX [f,d,df + P],u+K XX [qcb + HK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K ‡‡ < B r i s t o l W e l l e r > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < One-legged Assassin > ‡‡ Patriot Arrow qcf + K Axe Uppercut f,d,df + K [Shadow Move] Mach Flight qcb + K (advancing axe kick) Press DA away from opponent (punch + kick combo) Press HP (advancing triple turn kick) Press HK (delayed axe kick) Press GA (axe kick slam) Jump, press GA / DA (lift kick) d + GA (dashing punch + kick) f,f + LP / HP (dashing throat kick) f,f + LK / HK No Mercy qcb + LP, qcb + HP, qcb + GA Goodbye Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Public Execution d,d + K - Bristol's pursuit is stationary. - The Axe Uppercut hits on its descent. - The Mach Flight consists of two hits. The second hit happens only if the flying kick hits. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Koroshi wa shimasen. Watashi no okagede zan tta isshou o taisetsu ni.. 2) Ooku no jakusha wa, jibun ga sore to kizuke ka zu ni shinu.. aware na. 3) ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - DJ's Note: Yes! This is MY domain.. even though I contributed NOTHING to this FAQ. If you like the character, check out "Drunken Master 2" starring Jackie Chan. Hard to find, but definitely worth it! - The KiD's & Synn's Note: Yeah.. "his" domain.. 1) "I'll kick ya 'til you die from it!" combos: j.HK \/ s.LP > s.LK > (s.LK >) s.HP XX [qcf + HK] XX [qcb + K],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K 2) Low Kick Genocide combo: j.LK \/ c.LP > c.LP > (c.LP >) c.LK > s.HP XX [qcf + HK] XX [qcb + K],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K 3) "How'd the hell he combo off a gu.." *BANG!* combo: j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K] - The KiD's Note: This is an "off-guard" combo. What do I mean by that? Only the first (and weakest) hit of the [d,d + K] will actually register in the combo meter. The 2nd whiffs, but the 3rd may or may not hit the opponent, depending if they block or not upon landing. This combo will not work if the opponent is anywhere near the corner. 4) GA combos: j.GA \/ [f,f + HP], c.GA XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K [NEW!] j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + LK] XX [f,d,df + HK],u+K XX [qcb + K],u+K - The KiD's Note: Depending on the size of the opponent (and/or timing), Bristol may sometimes end up on the other side of the opponent after the [f,f + HP]. Thus, you have to do the motion you want in the opposite direction. The [qcb + K] combo ender is easier on a large opponent. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcb + K],u+K Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [f,d,df + K],u+K ‡‡ < C h r i s W a y n e > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Kodoku no Baddo Bo~i > ‡‡ Lightning Slash (one spark) qcb + LP / HP Lightning Slash (two sparks) qcb + GA Rolling Cannon (80 degrees) f,df,d + LK / HK [Shadow Move] Rolling Cannon (45 degrees) f,df,d + DA [Shadow Move] Spiral Leg Bomber qcf + K, tap same K rapidly Tai Chi Rolling Cannon Jump, f,df,d + K Head Slasher Jump, qcf + P (dashing knee) Press DA away from opponent (spur axe kick) Press GA (double knuckle slam) Jump, press GA / DA (advancing side kick) f + HK (flip kick) d + GA (dash punch) f,f + LP / HP (knockdown side kick) f,f + LK / HK Overdrive Kick qcf + LP, qcf + HP, qcf + GA Balisong Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Lightning Break d,d + K - Chris' pursuit is mobile. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) 2) ..Kie ro.

The [In air, f,df,d + HK] can be comboed after it while you're still in the air. 3) The "Chris SMASH!" combos : j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [f,df,d + LK],u+K XX [d,d + K],u+K j.GA \/ c.GA XX [f,df,d + K],u+K s.GA XX [f,df,d + K],u+K 4) Dashing combos: [f,f + HP] XX [qcb + P] XX [f,df,d + K],u+K XX [qcf + K, tap K rapidly],u+K XX [qcf + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [d,d + K],u+K ‡‡ < D a m i a n S h a d e > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Kenshin Bitoko no Bishounen > ‡‡ Elemental Uppercut qcb + P [Shadow Move] Rosebud (one rose) Charge b,f + LP Rosebud (two roses) Charge b,f + HP Rosebud (three roses) Charge b,f + GA Body Check Charge b,f + K (retractable club strike) Press GA (retractable club slam) Jump, press GA / DA (retractable club lift) d + GA (hop punch) f,f + LP / HP (hop knockdown kick) f,f + LK / HK Pretty Boy Combo qcb + LK, qcb + HK, qcb + DA Spiked Overhead Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Triple Take Assault d,d + K - Damian's pursuit is mobile. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) ..Boku ja nai, boku ga yatta n ja nai.. 2) Boku..

Na, nandemo shimasu kara.. ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) "Coming Out The Closet" combo: [NEW!] Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ s.LK > s.HK XX [Charge b,f + HP], s.LK XX [qcb + LK-HK-DA],u+K - The Kid's Note: This combo almost looks as it could be converted into an infinite. The first time I did it, the ending was with a GA.Rosebud instead of his Combo attack. Since the Rosebud doesn't knock the opponent down, I thought I'd have enough time to add another attack that can 2-in-1 back into the Rosebud, thus leading into an infinite. No luck. This combo works better on large opponents because after the [Charge b,f + HP], Damian has to kick out for the linker. Against Popura and sometimes ones like Larry or Hizumi, his foot may not reach. 2) Standard Combo Variations: j.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.LK > s.HK XX [Charge b,f + P] XX [Charge b,f + K],u+K XX [qcb + LK-HK-DA],u+K 3) Damian's "What the hell?!" Lover combo: Opponent in corner. Triple Take Assault, C.GA XX GA.Elemetal Uppercut,u+K 4) Hop Punch combos: [f,f + HP] XX [qcb + GA],u+K XX [qcb + LK-HK-DA],u+K 5) GA combos: Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX Duel Super Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcb + P],u+K Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcb + GA],u+K - The KiD's Note: Kinda hard to pull the last one off because you have to hit the opponent with the [f,f + HP] at the peak of the bounce from the j.GA. ‡‡ < F a l c o > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Mr. Gamble > ‡‡ Bluff Shuffle (straight) qcf + LP Bluff Shuffle (up-rebounding) qcf + HP Bluff Shuffle (down-rebounding) qcf + GA Face or Back (backwards flip) f,d,df + LP Face or Back (1/4 forward flip) f,d,df + HP Face or Back (1/2 forward flip) f,d,df + GA Face of Back into Bluff Shuffle Press P after Face or Back [Shadow Move] 20 degree toss Press LP 45 degree toss Press HP 90 degree toss Press GA Reversal Slot Press LP + HP 3 Cherries - 3 doves fly at opponent 3 Hearts - Falco regains life 3 Lightning Bolts - Lightning causes Falco to stumble back. No damage 3 Skulls - Both characters fall. No damage 3 $ - 10 coins fall on opponent 3 Sevens - 8 coins & 4 doves strike opponent 3 Unlike Objects - 1 coin falls on opponent Insight Dash qcf + K (cane flick) Press GA (cane slam) Jump, press GA / DA (diving cane sweep) Jump, d + HP (hop kick) f + HK (cane flip) d + GA (slide kick) df + HK (cane jab) f,f + LP / HP (leap kick) f,f + LK / HK Three Characters qcb + LP, qcb + HP, qcb + GA Killer Draw Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Stormy Poker d,d + K - Falco's pursuit is stationary. - Falco's taunt can hit opponent for 1 point of damage. - During the Bluff Shuffle, Falco is able to throw out two cards. After the first card is thrown, press the button of the second toss you'd like to perform. No need for another 'qcf' motion. You are able to toss the two cards at the same angle or two different angles (i.e- up-rebounding and straight). - During a normal Face or Back, Falco can toss out a single card. Pressing a Punch button again after the move is executed tosses a card in any one of three possible downward angles (listed above). The Shadow Move version of the Face of Back allows Falco to toss out up to three cards. Those cards can all travel in the same direction, or one card for each angle. - The coins that fall from the Reversal Slot all have tracking ability. - The Lightning Bolt caused from the Reversal Slot will hit the opponent if Falco is close to them. - If 3 Skulls are gotten from the Reversal Slot, a weight will fall and cause both players to fall to the ground. Jumping will not avoid the fall caused from the weight. - The Insight Dash is a counter-attack move. If Falco is hit with a physical or projectile attack during his forward leap, he takes no damage and counters with a Cane Flick-type attack. He can then get a guaranteed pursuit afterwards. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Falco's "When does the hurting stop?" ???-Hit combos: [LP + HP] (3 Sevens), [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + LP,LP], (Two more coins fall), [f,f + HP] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+K XX [d,d + K] - Synn's Note: Timing is crucial for the first Card Toss. It must connect JUST as the birds and coins stop falling so you have enough time to dash in with the Cane Jab while the last two coins are hitting your opponent. - The KiD's Note: Just drop the controller after the 1st hit.. Oh well, anyway, here's my own ghetto version of this combo. [LP + HP] (3 Sevens), s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > s.LK > (2 more coins fall) [f + HK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+k XX [d,d + K] - The Kid's Note: Not as flashy as Synn's, but it gets the job done. ^_^ 2) Standard Combo Variations: j.HP \/ s.LP > s.LK > [f + HK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+K - The KiD's Note: Instead of doing the entire Three Characters combo, you can instead go up to the 2nd part (where the opponent is electrocuted), then have Falco do a Leap Kick [f,f + HK] when opponent is in range. j.HP \/ s.LP > s.LP > s.HP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+K j.HP \/ c.LP > (c.LP >) c.HP XX [qcf + LP,LP] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HA], [f,f + HK],u+K - The KiD's Note: Doing the second c.LP will sometimes cause the Bluff Shuffle to miss. 03) Slot combos: [LP + HP] (3 $)/(3 Cherries)/(3 Unlike Objects), (See combo #02) 04) Dashing combos: [f,f + HP] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+K XX Stormy Poker 05) GA combos: j.GA \/ c.GA XX [f,d,df + GA, Press LP] XX [qcf + LP] j.GA \/ [f,f + LP] XX [d,d + K] Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K],u+K ‡‡ < G a r t h e i m e r R e d r u f u > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Hagane no Karada, Tetsu no Kokoro > ‡‡ Iron Mine Hold LP + HP, release to detonate Heavy Solid Kick Charge d,u + K [Shadow Move] Grind Rush (w/o explosion) Charge b,f + LK Grind Rush (w/ explosion) Charge b,f + HK / DA Grind Break Hold f + tap LP rapidly Body Smasher Charge d,u + P Heavy Tread (straight down) Jump, u,d + LP Heavy Tread (mid) Jump, u,d + HP Heavy Tread (far) Jump, u,d + GA (dashing ball swipe) Press DA away from opponent (steel ball punch) Press GA (double steel ball strike) Press HP,HP (steel ball slam) Jump, press GA / DA (slide kick) d + HK (rising steel ball punch) d + GA (steel twirl) f,f + LP / HP (flying kick) f,f + LK / HK Gain Control Charge b,f + LP, bf + HP, bf + GA Mace Drop Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Iron Dust Bomber d,d + K - Gartheimer's pursuit is stationary. - Holding down the buttons for the Iron Mine will cause the blaze to travel along the ground further. It will travel until it reaches a full-screen distance or hits the opponent. Releasing the buttons at anytime will cause the blaze to detonate. - The Body Smasher has tracking ability. - The 2nd and 3rd part of the Gain Control does not require a charge.

The fourth fireball arcs back downward. - The 2nd and 3rd part of the Chi Bu Kyaku do not require a charge. After the first part, Oume & Otane may switch sides while going back and forth, so do the motion in the opposite direction. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) "Millennium" combo: [NEW!] For Bristol-D, Chris, Damian, Gartheimer, Oume & Otane, Solis: Stand close. c.LK > c.LP > s.LK > c.LP x3 > s.LK > c.LP x3..

Unable to find an infinite to work on: Bristol, Falco, Hizumi - The KiD's Note: Finally.. it's been revised. An infinite combo DOES exist in Groove On Fight. The somewhat weird part about it is that it varies depending on the opponent. But unlike the one that was posted before, these all work in the corner also. The speed that you do the c.LPs is VERY important. They have to be done in a steady motion. If you rush, for some reason it won't knock the opponent to the right range where the s.LK will link. Performing the one on Popura is very difficult because it's hard to get past 7 hits sometimes. But, as little proof as this may give that it works, I have gotten up to 15 hits on it before knocking her dizzy. As you may notice, three characters still do not have combos against them. Fan of those three have taken a sigh of relief, I'm sure. Anyway, I'm unsure if any exist, but I've gotten up to 8 on Hizumi with the combo that is used against Popura. But it stopped there. So, I'm still looking. 2) "Sudden Rush of Youth" combo: [NEW!] Opponent in corner. j.LK \/ c.LP > (c.LP >) c.LK > s.HK XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K 3) Standard Combo Variations: j.LK \/ c.LP > c.HP XX [Charge d,u + HP],u+K XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K - The KiD's Note: Hard to combo in the Chi Bu Kyaku unless you're real close. j.LK \/ s.LP > s.LK, Throw j.LK \/ s.LP > c.LK > s.HK XX [Charge d,u + HP],u+K - The KiD's Note: On tall people, do the j.LK as you're rising and the whole attack can score up to 8-hits. 4) GA Combos: j.GA \/ c.GA XX [Charge d,u + GA],u+K ‡‡ < H a n a n o k o u j i P o p u r a > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Chou Mahou Kogyaru > ‡‡ Shoujo Commando qcf + P Kuru Kuru Candy Press LK + HK Kuru Kuru Poi (straight) qcf + LK [Shadow Move] Kuru Kuru Poi (angled-up) qcf + HK [Shadow Move] Kuru Kuru Poi (upward) qcf + DA [Shadow Move] Bikkuri Bako Press LP + HP Relief Hold LP after Bikkuri Bako Teleportation Hold GA after Bikkuri Bako Cupid Jump, press LP + HP Downward Arrow Press LP after Cupid Slow Straight Arrow Press HP after Cupid Fast Straight Arrow Press GA after Cupid Downwards Horn Blow Press LK after Cupid Straight Horn Blow Press HK after Cupid Double Horn Blow Press DA after Cupid (wand smash) Press GA (pogo stick) Jump, press LK, keep pressing u + LK (wand slam) Jump, press GA / DA (grand slam) f + HP (wand wiggle) d + GA (gymnast assault) df + HP (dashing wand smack) f,f + LP / HP (dashing kick combo) f,f + LK / HK Popura Special qcb + LP, qcb + HP, qcb + GA Nurse Popura Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Tulip d,d + K - Popura's pursuit is mobile. - The Bikkuri Bako has three different effects. Doing the move by itself will produce a box that a small teddy bear will run across the screen and jump into. Holding LP will create a dog-like animal to appear. If the opponent crouches, the dog will.. relieve himself on to them for damage. It's unblockable. Holding GA will have Popura teleport forward to where the box lands. - During the Cupid, Popura can move anywhere around the screen freely. If she is hit during the Cupid, she will change back to normal. - You can only get an additional bounce from the Pogo Stick if it hits the opponent. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ X) Kya~~~! Popura, WON!! Yay~~~! Popura, WON!! ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Ren Lee's "Tag-Team Death Blow" combo: [NEW!] Opponent in corner. [LP + HP], [LK + HK], [qcf + LP] /\ j.GA \/ c.GA XX Duel Super,u+K - The KiD's Note: Took me a couple of tries to do this combo after I received it, but it works. This combo's obnoxious. I suppose that's why I like it. A couple of notes to point out though. First, I wasn't sure if the [LP + HP] was suppose to hit or not. It may be done just to have the box land behind the opponent to score the extra hit from the bear. If the [LP + HP] does hit, the opponent will be able to block the [LK + HK] afterwards. It's NOT guaranteed. However, if they are hit by the [LK + HK], the opponent can struggle out the candy wrapping. When doing the [qcf + LP], don't be too close else the jellyfish will hit before you have a chance to attack with the j.GA. 2) "It's that easy" combo: j.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] 3) Popura's Sweet combos: - The KiD's Note: Get it? Sweet.. Candy.. Oh, forget it.

Tapping HP will make Larry perform the headbutt where he is. Pressing HP, then releasing quickly will have Larry slide forward a small distance. Holding HP will make Larry delay the headbutt until he's traveled a long distance. - After the second part of the Impact Connection, Larry switches sides, so do the motion in the opposite direction. - Yes, the Impact Connection is exactly the same as Akira's 'Stun Palm of Doom' from Virtua Fighter. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Sou kurai gan suru na yo na.

[qcf + LP], Engo Kougeki /\ j.HK \/ s.LP > s.LK > t.HK XX [f,d,df + GA], [GA + DA] /\ j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [d,d + K] - No, this combo will not count as one, but it's all guaranteed. Here's why and how. As soon as you land from the [f,d,df + GA], perform Larry's unblockable. I've played against some great GoF players and there seems to be no way to avoid it. Once that unblockable hits, the opponent is knocked dizzied. So guess what? You get to go unleash hell! Posted after the [GA + DA] is Larry's most powerful combo. So you are sure to win after that. However, you can do any combo after the dizzy you want. 2) Finale Rosso combo: [NEW!] Opponent in corner and a little over 1/2 screen away. [qcf + LP], dash in, Engo Kougeki /\ j.HK \/ c.GA XX Duel Super - The KiD's Note: There are a couple of hard parts; one being positioning. Granted, there's a slim chance that anyone would pull this combo off in actual combat, but it's nice show-off material. As you dash in after the [qcf + LP], buffer in the Engo Kougeki so you can still get in close as your partner jumps in for the attack. The next hard part is getting the c.GA to combo. It's not a fast attack, so you have to make sure the j.HK hits deep against the opponent. That will increase the chance of the c.GA to hit as the opponent is still in hit animation. 3) "The hits just keep on coming!" combos: j.HK \/ (c.LP >) s.LP > s.LK > T.HK XX [qcf + P] XX [f,d,df + P],u+K XX [qcf + HK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] j.HK \/ (c.LP >) c.LP > c.LK > c.HP XX [qcf + GA] XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcf + HK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] j.HK \/ (c.LP >) s.LP > s.LK > s.HP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] - Synn's Note: Otherwise known as the "You THINK it's over, but I'm gonna hit you some more" combos. - The KiD's Note: You can add the additional c.LP at the beginning of each combo on big opponents (i.e- Tenjinbashi, Bristol). If you want flash, use the [f,d,df + P] ender. For power, use the [qcb + LP-HP-GA] ender. 4) Blazing Soul combo: Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K],u+K - The KiD's Note: Ok, the second part of the [d,d + K] (the upward explosion) won't combo off. But it still does a hell of alot of damage. 5) Fire Streak combo: Opponent 3/4 screen away. [qcf + LP], [Shadow Move f,d,df + GA],u+K 6) Larry's "Yeah, this MIGHT happen" combo: Air Geigeki Bougyo, Air Throw - The KiD's Note: This is one of those "once in a lifetime" combos. Having the timing and chance to execute the Geigeki Bougyo on an airborne attacking opponent is one thing, but if that happens, getting the air throw off is another. - Synn's Note: Khris never even pulled this combo off. Truth is the CPU did it to him. 7) Dashing combos: [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + P] XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcf + LK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] [f,f + HK] |2 hits| XX [qcf + P] XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcf + HK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] - The KiD's Note: Let the first 2 kicks of the [f,f + HK] connect. The 3rd will floor 'em. 8) GA combos: j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + P],u+K XX [f,d,df + LP],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] XX [d,d + K],u+K - The KiD's Note: Larry's kill combo is the one with the [d,d + K] ender (I'm talking 70%!). The [qcb + LP-HP-GA] ender is the hardest one to pull off because Larry zigzags back and forth for the hits. Also, getting the [qcb + LP- HP-GA]. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcf + P] XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcf + DA] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA] - The KiD's Note The [qcb + LP-HP-GA] ender does combo off, but getting the first hit of it to connect requires timing depending on the character. ‡‡ < M.

"Don't Attack" and "Don't Jump" are the only ones that have its effects last for 2 seconds once they hit. M.A.D. is unable to inflict more than one ailment on a person. If one of the ailments hits, it will override the previous one if the two were done in succession. - The opponent is able to struggle out of the leech bites from the Max Servant and Maximum Service by wiggling the control pad. - The Max Ray Gun can be done in two different situations. As M.A.D. is falling, pressing any two Punch buttons right before he hits the ground will act as a "quick recover". M.A.D. will pop back onto his feet and counterattack with whichever Ray Gun usage you do. The second way is when he is already lying on the ground, pressing any two Punch buttons will input that the Ray Gun is to be used, followed by whichever direction chosen. The ripple beam from the ray causes the opponent to be stunned for a moment, leaving them vulnerable. - M.A.D. cannot do the Double Drill Punch if he is jumping forward. However, it can be done if M.A.D. does a forward Helicopter air dash. - M.A.D. can perform regular attacks and any of his air moves from the Helicopter. - During the Max Sparkler, the HP and GA can be doubled up indefinitely by rapidly pressing the same punch button. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) M.A.D.'s 'MAD!' combos: ([LK + HK],) [qcf + LK], [f,f + LP] XX [d,d + K], [f,f + LP] XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K j.GA \/ [f,f + LP] XX [d,d + K], [f,f + LP] XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K - Synn's Note: Yeah, it LOOKS pretty nasty and takes off a hell of a lot, but your opponent can struggle out of the leech bites. So the second dash punch will only work if your opponent is a idiot. I guess that's why it worked on Khris. By the way, the [d,d + K] doesn't always combo because the leeches fly out RANDOMLY. I know, I know.. it's f**kin' retarded. 2) Variable Megahorn combos: (Opponent in corner.) [When close, f + HP / GA] XX [qcf + P],u+K - Synn's Note: The u+K only works after "Come Here" and "Go Away." "Fall Down" only combos in the corner. "Back It Up" will never connect. 3) Standard Combo Variations: j.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > s.HP XX [f,d,df + HP],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K 4) Drill Ya combo: j.HK XX [In air, qcf + LP] \/ u+K - Synn's Note: The [qcf + LP] combos while you're still in the air. ‡‡ < O t o g i r i R e m i > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Magical Sound Shower > ‡‡ Iru Firo (arcing up) Charge b,f + LP / HP Iru Firo (arcing down) Charge b,f + GA Kapurio~ra Charge d,u + P [Shadow Move] Koruno Rifuresso Press LP + HP Porutamento (10 degrees) Jump, u,d + LP Porutamento (30 degrees) Jump, u,d + HP Porutamento (45 degrees) Jump, u,d + GA Ra Morute Jump, press LP + HP Downward Fireballs Press LP after Ra Morute Down Angled Fireballs Press HP after Ra Morute Up Angled Fireballs Press GA after Ra Morute Scythe Swipe Press LK after Ra Morute Downwards Dive Attack Press HK after Ra Morute Straight Dive Attack Press DA after Ra Morute (musical scythe) Press GA (scythe spiral) Jump, press GA / DA (long trip) df + HK (reverse front kick) f + LK (swing kick) f + HK (rising musical scythe) d + GA (dive smack) f,f + LP / HP (air) (jumping turn kick) f,f + LK / HK (dashing scythe poke) f,f + GA Triangle Charge b,f + LK, bf + HK, bf + DA Musical Scythe Swipe Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Requiem d,d + K - Remi's pursuit attack is stationary. - The Kapurio~ra hits on its descent. - Unlike Bristol-D's Demonic Pulse, the Koruno Rifuresso will only effect the opponent in one way. It will cause them to stagger backwards and render them vulnerable to attacks. - During the Ra Morute, Remi can move anywhere around the screen freely. If she is hit during the Ra Morute, she will change back to normal. - The 2nd and 3rd part of the Triangle do not require a charge. Remi can't do the second part of the Triangle unless the first part hits. During the 2nd and 3rd parts, Remi switched sides, so you need to do the motion in the opposite direction. ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) "Gotta Have Rhythm!" combo: Opponent in corner and full screen away. [Charge b,f + LP], Engo Kougeki /\ [f,f + GA] \/ c.GA XX [LP + HP], s.LP > s.HP XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K - The KiD's Note: A very flashy combo! ^_^ This is another combo that has a slim change on getting used in actual combat UNLESS you omit this: [Charge b,f + LP], Engo Kougeki. The [f,f + GA] is alot easier than a j.GA because it comes out fast. After the c.GA, begin to charge back. Keep charging back when doing the [LP + HP], s.LP > s.HP part of the combo. As soon as the second hit of the s.HP connects, 2-in-1 into the [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA]. Timing here is kinda tricky because Remi winds up a little before attacking, so you have to 2-in-1 immediately. After the opponent lands, walks over for the pursuit. Remi's kawaii so no one will expect this from her. ^_^ 2) *Ding!* combo: [Jump, f,f + HP] \/ c.LP > c.LK > c.HP XX [Charge d,u + GA] XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA] - The KiD's Note: For any of the two enders, remember to start charging right after you land from the [Jump, f,f + HP]. 3) Standard Combo Variations: j.LK / [f,f + HP] \/ s.LP > s.HP |2 hit| XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K j.LK / [f,f + HP] \/ c.LP > c.HP XX [Charge d,u + GA] XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K 4) "Air Mail!" combo: [f,f + HP] XX [u,d + HP] 5) GA combos: j.GA / [f,f + GA] \/ [f,f + HP] XX [LP + HP], Throw,u+K XX [d,u + GA] j.GA / [f,f + GA] \/ c.GA XX [Charge b,f + HP] XX [Charge d,u + P],u+K XX [LP + HP], Throw,u+K XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K ‡‡ < S o l i s R 8 0 0 0 > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < Jounetsu no Future Police > ‡‡ Stun Bullet qcf + P Stun Platinum f,d,df + P Soar Platinum Jump, f,d,df + P Gyrator qcb + K TNT Charge Hold any 2 P or K, release [Shadow Move] (gliding upper) Press DA away from opponent (machine-gun punch) Press HP / d + HP (step-in smash) Press GA (double punch) Jump, press GA / DA (shock cable) f + HP (air) (thrust kick) f + LK (straight kick) f + HK (creeping trip) d + HK (rising smash) d + GA (dash upper) f,f + LP / HP (hop side kick) f,f + LK / HK Absolute Beat qcf + LK, qcf + HK, qcf + DA High Voltage Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Solis Multiplier d,d + K - Solis' pursuit is stationary. - The Stun Platinum and Soar Platinum can be onscreen simultaneously. - The Gyrator can be done in midair from a backdash. - The range and number of explosions of the TNT Charge determines how long you hold the buttons down.

The bomb will not effect the person it's condemning if they are knocked to the ground. - Tenjinbashi can't do the second part of the Tenshinin unless the first part hits. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) 'Bashi's 4th of July combo: [qcf,uf + K], j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K],u+K - The KiD's Note: Flashiness and power all in one combo. The [qcf,uf + K] is used because after the c.GA, the bomb explodes and makes the opponent juggle in the air so the [d,d + K] will combo easier. 2) Sakura Season Celebration combo: [NEW!] Opponent near corner. [qcf + LP] /\ j.GA \/ c.GA XX Duel Super 3) The Storm of Autumn combos: [NEW!] [qcb + LK] /\ j.HK \/ s.LP (> s.LP), [f + HP] XX [qcb + HP] - The KiD's Note: If you try this combo in the corner, you can add in the second s.LP. Opponent in corner. [qcb + LK] /\ j.HK \/ s.LP > s.LP, c.GA XX Duel Super - The KiD's Note: After the second s.LP, the leaf from the [qcb + LK] hits and allows the c.GA to combo. 4) "Throw ya around like a rag doll" Kick Throw combos: Kick Throw /\ Air Throw - The KiD's Note: You have to time the right distance and height to grab them out of the air. Easier in the corner. Opponent in corner. Kick Throw, [qcb + LK] - The KiD's Note: Surprisingly.. the leaf does a LOT of damage. Kick Throw /\ j.GA \/ c.GA,u+K 5) GA combo: j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcb + HP],u+K ‡‡ < Y u k i n o u e H i z u m i > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < The Ninja-Otaku > ‡‡ Kage Shibari qcf + P Tsuchi Gumo no Jutsu (same spot) LK + HK Tsuchi Gumo no Jutsu (opposite) f + LK + HK Tsuchi Gumo no Jutsu (backwards) b + LK + HK Hou Sen Ka no Jutsu (low arc) qcf + LK [Shadow Move] Hou Sen Ka no Jutsu (mid arc) qcf + HK [Shadow Move] Hou Sen Ka no Jutsu (high arc) qcf + DA [Shadow Move] Makibishi Press LP + HP while backdashing Hyakurai Jutsu (close) Jump, qcf + LP Hyakurai Jutsu (upwards) Jump, qcf + HP Hyakurai Jutsu (far) Jump, qcf + GA (dashing swipe) Press DA away from opponent (forward flip kick) Press GA (head kick) Jump, press GA / DA (diving punch) Jump, d + HP (tantou swipe) f + HP (double step low kick) f + HK (rising kick) d + GA (slide kick) df + HK,HK (dash palm) f,f + LP / HP (dashing hop kick) f,f + LK / HK Ren Geki Tan Jin no Jutsu qcb + LP, qcb + HP, qcb + GA Tantou Charge Press GA + DA [Unblockable] Juumonji Kasumi Kuzushi d,d + K - Hizumi's pursuit is mobile. - Hizumi's taunt can hit an opponent for 1 point of damage. - Only one Kage Shibari can be on screen at one time. - The Kage Shibari stuns the opponent for the length of time the energy is travelling at their feet. To get out the stun, simply jump out of it. - Press Kick again for the second hit of the Slide Kick after knocking opponent down. It's able to hit downed opponents. - The Tantou Charge travels full screen. ________________ | Winning Quotes | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Daseze omae ra!

Ninja are the strongest anywhere! ________ | Combos | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Synn's "If these don't knock you dizzy, NOTHING will" combos: ([qcf + HP],) [f,f + HP] \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > (c.LP >) c.LK > s.HK XX [qcf + LK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K - Synn's Note: The [qcf + HP] isn't necessary. It has to hit pretty close so that you have time to jump in after it. - Dave's Note: UGH! Not this combo! - The KiD's Note: Synn, if you hit me ONE more time with any of these damn combos.. 2) Dashing Shockwave combos: [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + HP], [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + LK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K - Synn's Note: For some reason or another, these combos are REALLY powerful (We're talking 80%!). I think it's because the [f,f + LP] and [f,f + HP] takes off a lot of energy. 3) Ren Lee's "Dizzy Chain" combo: [NEW!] [qcf + HP] /\ CU.j.HP \/ c.LP > c.HP > c.LK > s.HK XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K - The KiD's Note: I thought for sure all of Hizumi's big combos were found. Well, I was wrong. Remember Street Fighter 2 Turbo? When Guile and Vega (Balrog in Japan) were the only ones that had re-dizzy combos? I thought for sure I'd never see another game that presented that. I was wrong again. This combo brings back that flare of the re-dizzy. That great feeling of knocking the opponent senseless twice in succession. The only problem is linking in that c.LK. At times, you may be pushed too far after the c.HP. To remedy that so the combo works, make sure the cross-up HP hits "deep" on the opponent before you land. 4) 5-Hit TNT combo: [Jump, d + HP] XX [In air, qcf + LP] \/ u+K - Synn's Note: The first two parts of this combo are done in the air. You can 2-in-1 most air special moves after regular air attacks. 5) 'Jack' combos.. hurh hurh, get it? Jack someone up? Jacks..? D'oh.: Opponent in corner. [Backdash, LP + HP](while opponent is getting up), [f + HP] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K [Backdash, LP + HP] (while opponent is standing), - Synn's Note: Jack toss [Backdash, LP + HP] must be done early enough to hit opponent just as he/she is getting up and allow Hizumi enough time to get the [f + HP]/[f,f + LP] off. - The KiD's Note: I've seen Synn do these cheap.. err, "skillful" combos after #1 combos, so the ending results are pretty devastating. 6) Hizumi's 3-Hit "Heh.. You're dead" combo: - Synn's Note: You MUST say that when doing the combo. - The KiD's Note: This combo is so BASE!!! [Backdash, LP + HP], [d,d + K],u+K 7) Dashing combos: ([qcf + HP],) [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + LK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K 8) DA combos: ([qcf + HP],) DA XX [qcf + LP] XX [qcf + LK],u+K XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K 9) GA combos: ([qcf + HP],) j.GA XX [qcf + LK],u+K ([qcf + HP],) j.GA \/ c.GA,u+K ([qcf + HP],) d.GA XX [qcf + LK],u+K ([qcf + HP],) j.GA, [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + DA],u+K XX [d,d + K],u+K - Synn's Note: Yes, you read that right.

It means to do the motion of the move before each of the indicated buttons is pressed. For example, if you are doing Larry's Impact Connection, it will be displayed in the combo listings as [qcb + LP-HP-GA]. Meaning, first do [qcf + LP] for the first hit, [qcb + HP] for the second, [qcb + GA] for the third. d. stands for dashing s. stands for standing c. stands for crouching j. stands for jumping CU. stands for cross-up DN. stands for holding down on the controller while attacking during a jump T. stands for holding towards on the controller ( ) stands for a move that can be comboed in, but not necessary [ ] represents that a specific character special move is to be done.

Rather than listing each combo in a huge sequence, the 'base' of each combo is shown with a listing of all possible enders to it. Unless listed alternatively, all combos normally follow the same structure as the one below: Jumping Attack \/ Attack > Attack > Attack > XX Combo Ender #1 XX Combo Ender #2 XX Combo Ender #3 Each possible ender to a specific combo is aligned in a column at the end of the string. Thus, the combo can be concluded with any ender; all doing their own significant damage. Keep in mind that some enders have different effects than others, but any specific notes are listed in each character's sections. ‡‡ < duel supers > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ Requirements: Both teammates active At lease one (1) stock of Super meter The system of Duel Supers are not the same as the ones in the "Vs" games. Duel Supers have two methods in which they must be performed (depending on the number of players): • In 1- or 2-player games (one human player on a team) First initiate the tag. Before the characters slap hands, immediately hit d,d + Punch. If done correctly, your fighter will dash forward, grab the opponent, and throw them up into the air. Your partner will jump up after them only to send the opponent back down to the fighter, who will automatically begin the combo. • In 3- or 4-player games (two human players on a team) The person who controls the character that is currently in play has to initiate the tag. The sidelined character will then jump out into play. This is when the person who controls THAT character has to press d,d + Punch before the tag is made. The player that called for the tag is the one that does the whole attack. All Duel Supers equal up to be exactly 22 hits. ‡‡ < engo kougeki > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < f + R shoulder > ‡‡ The Engo Kougeki will cause your teammate to leap out into the fighting field to hit the opponent, then leap back into the sidelines. • In 1- or 2-player games (one human player on a team) The player controls his/her teammate to jump in from the sidelines and smack your opponent. • In 3- or 4-player games (two human players on a team) Your human teammate in the sidelines is the one that controls the assist. They only have to press the R shoulder button to activate it. Even though your teammate jumps into play for a second, they can be damaged. If they are hit with an attack, they will get knocked back in the sidelines, sustaining the damage. Engo Kougeki attacks can be blocked. ‡‡ < geigeki bougyo > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < press B + Y > ‡‡ Once B + Y are pressed, your character takes up different blocking animation. If they are hit in that blocking stance, a *clash* sound is heard, and the attacker is sent staggering back. They are then vulnerable to an attack. If the Geigeki Bougyo is done and no attack strikes it, you will be left vulnerable coming out the stance. A Geigeki Bougyo can be used to stop projectiles without taking any damage. ‡‡ < mikata nage > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < d + HP / GA > ‡‡ Once a character is defeated, their body remains on the fighting field. By moving over to stand over that fallen player, do d + HP / GA and you will pick up the body and toss it forward. Mikata Nage attacks can be blocked. ‡‡ < pursuit attack > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ As in many 3D games, once you knock the opponent to the ground, you are able to get in another hit before they stand again. Some characters have pursuits that are "mobile," where they leap across the screen to hit downed opponents. However, others have "stationary" pursuits, where they only hit a downed opponent if they are right next to them. The character's pursuit ability is posted in each of their specific sections. ‡‡ < recharging the super meter > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < when solo, hold R shoulder > ‡‡ When one member of your team is defeated, the tag button becomes a recharge button. Holding it down will charge up your Super Meter (similar to holding the attack buttons in "Samurai Spirits" games). You character is vulnerable as they are charging. ‡‡ < shadow move/dash hissatsu waza > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ Each character (with the exception of Bristol-D) has one specific move that doubles as a Shadow Move, or "Dash Hissatsu Waza" (Dash Special Kill Art). A Shadow Move is a powered-up version of the original move that is performed from a forward dash. For example, Larry's Shadow Move is his Driving Dribble. As Larry is dashing forward, input the Driving Dribble command (f,d,df + P). Afterimages follow the character, resulting in an attack that produces more hits and/or damage. If the Shadow Move is a move with a charge motion, the charging is omitted. ‡‡ < super strike > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < press C + Z > ‡‡ Each character has one unblockable move that can be performed anytime. There are no specific requirements to use a Super Strike. Once activated, your character sparkles for a second, then attacks. ‡‡ < touch > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < press A + X / R shoulder > ‡‡ Touch is the term concerning tagging back and forth between your teammates. Once A + X / R shoulder is pressed, your in play fighting character waves, and the character in the background will leap out to slap hands with them. The tag is not official until the *slap!* sound is heard. Thus, the opponent can interrupt the tag to knock that character back into the sidelines. • In 3- or 4-player games (two human players on a team) A Touch can only be done if the teammate is in the proximity of the in- play character. If the character in the sidelines is not onscreen when the in play character calls for a "Touch", they will wave their hand and be vulnerable since there is no one there to tag with. A character in the background will slowly regain energy. It's able to restore completely (unlike in the "Vs" series or "Tekken Tag Tournament"). *Note: If a character does a non-physical attack (i.e- projectile attack) that travels, then that character does a Touch, that attack will disappear the moment you press the tag button. ‡‡ < yuujyou power > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ As soon as a teammate on a side is defeated, the other member immediately jumps into play. As a result, that side's Stress Shoot Super meter rises up to give them a free Level up. ——— VII.

Over two years old, and it plans to get bigger at the days pass! =) There's still alot of work to be done before this giant FAQ is completely done, but it'll be well worth it! Here's a list of things that will show up in future installments: - game storyline - Remi's special move names - character win quotes translations - character ending translations - character stories/profiles - strategies In addition to what is listed above, any other info (combos, questions, cheats, etc.) that is put in the FAQ, the person will receive credit. Ja, minna-san! - The KiD & Synn _____________________ "See you next Groove on Fight!" _____________________
