last updated 4/7/98

by Shinomori Aoshi - willcbua@ktb.net



Note: this FAQ is _far_ from finished, and is probably full of

mistakes.



"God Bless the Ring!"  

(Amen to that, brother! Can I get a witness up in heah?  ^_~)

Legend:

	(from takedown, hit l or h repeatedly to pound opponent's face

	 & a roll throw)

Tactics

Rope-a-Dope (works with all characters)

Hold G while moving around with the joystick, and you'll move while

facing your opponent; akin to Quake's strafing. While this might not

be news to veteran Ehrgeiz players, there are some cool things you can

do while strafing.

	a) Rope-A-Dope: Muhammad Ali, eat your heart out. One of the

	   great things about the Rope-A-Dope is that it allows you to

	   evade and retaliate without running out of control and

	   possibly forcing you to miss. 

	b) More Control, Less Running: Another great thing about the

	   Rope-A-Dope is that the computer still thinks you're

	   running Try this: Rope-a-Dope your opponent, and when you

	   see an opening, move towards your opponent, release Guard

	   and press g+l+h. Instant takedown without running like a

	   chicken without it's head cut off. Lots of fun for the

	   Gracie Jujutsu family. :P



Use the Sword

Okay, this may sound stupid, but use Cloud's Materia Blade whenever

possible. The great thing about the Blade is that it has great reach

and lots of power. Also, if you have your opponent in the corner, your

opponent would have to be Jackie Chan to get out of there... :P
