Acknowledgments ======================================================================== [First-hand Info] This FAQ is for the Japanese Sega Saturn version of the game. I don't think a PSX or Arcade version of this game exists, so you don't have to worry about it. If you want to print this FAQ, Notepad would be your best bet to get a decent printout. Any corrections, combos, additional info, and/or questions are welcome. E-mail them to one of the e-mail addresses at the beginning of this FAQ. They will be posted and you will receive credit for your work. Throughout this FAQ are notes from both Harold and I (and a few extra comments from friends) on most of the combos. They are there not only to give insight and comments on specific ones, but to also give a little comic relief throughout the FAQ. Because face it, reading a FAQ with just info is kinda boring. We're here to liven things up. There are even a few where we discussed a combo back and forth, talking about how frustrating it is to get hit by it and such. =P Harold and I also made up the names for the combos. If they're retarded, hey, we tried. =) The most updated version of this FAQ is at www.gamefaqs.com [Disclaimer] The authors iccur no liability from public or private use or misuse of this document.

FK: Flash Kick Motion (Charge D, U) | (charge), o + Button o | *Note: When charging for this code, you can charge at ANY of the three down positions and when you press up to activate the move, you can go to ANY of the three up positions. SB: Sonic Boom Motion (Charge B, F) o-- (charge), --o + Button *Note: When charging for this code, you can charge at ANY of the three back positions and when you press forward to activate the move, you can go to ANY of the three forward positions. RSB: Reverse Sonic Boom (Charge F, B) --o (charge), o-- + Button *Note: When charging for this code, you can charge at ANY of the three forward positions and when you press forward to activate the move, you can go to ANY of the three back positions. DFU: Down to Forward to Up-Forward (D, DF, F, UF) o | \ --o / o o *Note: I don't think I've seen this motion in many other games. The only character to have this motion is Tenjinbashi. Going from down to forward to up, instead of up-forward, works also. UD: Up to Down (U, UF, F, DF, D or U, UB, B, DB, D) o o | / --o \ | o o OR o o | \ o-- / | o o + Punch: Do the motion with any punch button + Kick: Do the motion with any kick button
