When facing left, or if on the 2P side, reverse the left / right controls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNIVERSAL MOVES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Every character has these abilities: F,F - Forward Dash B,B - Backward Dash F,F, hold F - Run Forward B,B, hold B - Run Backward A button - Vertical Attack B button - Horizontal Attack K button - Kick Attack M button - Mawarikomi (Rotation) D + M - Rotate Forward Direction + M - Rotate Dash When close, A + B for a Throw Attack. When close, A + B while crouching for a crouching Throw Attack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FIGHTING ON THE GROUND ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When opponent is knocked down, U + A / B for Big Pursuit Strike. U + K for Small Pursuit Strike. When you are knocked down, the moment you hit the floor, press any button for Down Evade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLASMA ABILITIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ These attacks require plasma power. Different characters can hold different amounts of power (I think). PLASMA FIELD With one level of power, press B + K. This enables the special ability of that character. When initially activate, the field that appears around your character can damage your opponent. PLASMA STRIKE With one level of power, perform your QCF + A + B / QCB + A + B move. This upgrades those moves and makes them more useful. PLASMA REVERSE There are two types of reversals. Both require half a gauge of power to use (like Alpha/Zero Counters). They are: PLASMA REVENGE - Press A + M You'll block the move and automatically counterattack. PLASMA REFLECT - Press B + M You'll deflect the move and your opponent is left open for a second. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLASMA COMBOS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Each character has many normal attacks that can be comboed together. However, you may stumble upon a 'Plasma Combo' while creating your own combo. When this happens, (look for the glowing box) try pressing a button or direction and a button and if you're lucky, you'll perform a powerful series of attacks. ========================================================================= CHARACTER MOVE LIST: EARTH DEFENSE FORCE ========================================================================= Here's how to read each character's move list: J: - Japanese Name E: - English Translation M: - Move Command Characters are listed in alphabetical order. Each character's Plasma Strike moves are listed first (the first two moves). At the end of each person's list is their Plasma Field move. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLOOD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Rising Tornado M: QCF + A + B E: Bloody Blade M: QCB + A + B E: Dark Surprise M: QCF + A, tap A rapidly E: Fake Blade M: QCB + A E: Evil Storm M: QCF + K E: Fatal Edge M: F,D,DF + A E: Teleportation M: QCB / QCF + M J: Time Stop: Jikan Teishi E: Time Stop: Time Stop M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BYAKKO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- J: Oboro Tsumuji E: Whirling Gloom M: QCF + A + B J: Kekka Sou Jin E: Bloody Petal Claw Array M: QCB + A + B J: Kessou Jin E: Bloody Claw Array M: QCB + A J: Shippuu Zan E: Gale Slash M: QCF + B J: Byakko Hou E: Spirit Fox Destruction M: QCB + M, then A / B / K J: Byakko Hou Manji E: Spirit Fox Destruction Magic M: QCF + M, then A / B / K J: Jinrai Shuu E: Thunderclap Attack M: Jump, once at apex, D + K E: Great Haste: Speed Up M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EAGLE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Kaiser Sky Destraction M: QCF + A + B E: Judgment Phaser M: QCB + A + B E: Sky Javelin M: Direction + A + K E: Sky Destraction M: QCF + K E: Rising Blade M: F,D,DF + A, tap A rapidly J: Transformation: Hikou Mode ni Henkei E: Transformation: Aviation Mode Transformation M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAMOF ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Super Gamo Tornado M: QCF + A + B E: Plasma Giant Swing M: QCB + A + B E: Gamo Screw M: When close, HCB + K E: Gamo Tackle M: QCF + B E: Gamo Tornado M: QCB + B, tap B rapidly J: Auto Throw: Jidou Nage Mode E: Auto Throw: Automatic Throw Mode M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- GANTETSU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- J: 10t Bakudan Do Konjyou Nage E: 10 Ton Bomb Tenacious Throw M: QCF + A + B E: Flying Gantetsu Buster M: QCB + A + B E: Gamo Screw M: When close, HCB + K E: Gamo Tackle M: QCF + B E: Gamo Tornado M: QCB + B, tap B rapidly E: Gamo Screw M: J: Auto Throw: Jidou Nage Mode E: Auto Throw: Automatic Throw Mode M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAYATO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- J: Engetsu E: Crescent Moon M: QCF + A + B J: Rasetsu Zan E: Rasetsu Slash M: QCB + A + B J: Shi Den E: Purple Electricity M: QCF + B J: Shi Den Kai E: Purple Electricity Modified M: QCB + B J: Guren E: Red Lotus M: F,D,DF + A / B J: Byakko Hou E: Spirit Fox Cannon M: When close, F,B + K J: Ashura E: God of War M: D,D,D J: Plasma Sword: Ken Kyodai Ka E: Plasma Sword: Sword Gigantic Change M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUNE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Big Bang M: QCF + A + B E: Happy Black Hole M: QCB + A + B E: Starlight Shoot M: QCF + A E: Shine Dream M: QCF + K E: Comet Kick M: QCB + K E: Air Starlight Shoot M: Jump, QCF + A J: Ring Thrower: Ring Nage E: Ring Thrower: Ring Throw M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SATURN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Infinity Yo Yo M: QCF + A + B E: Dance With Me M: QCB + A + B E: Sambo "N" M: QCF + A,A E: Acrobat Combo M: QCB + B, tap B rapidly E: Firecracker M: QCF + K J: Doll Bomb: Ningyou Bakudan Hassha E: Doll Bomb: Doll Bomb Discharge M: Press B + K (requires 1 level of power) ========================================================================= CHARACTER MOVE LIST: FOURTH EMPIRE ========================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BILSTEIN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Dark Vortex End M: QCF + A + B E: Nightmare Blaze M: QCB + A + B E: Dark Vortex M: QCF + A E: Blaze Sword M: F,D,DF + A E: Final Bilstein M: HCB + K E: Gigant Armor Raid M: D,D,D J: Infinity Power: Gauge Waza Tsukai ??

All of this information is from Capcom of Japan's homepage, all I did was translate what I could. I haven't played this game (I don't even know if it's been released outside of Japan yet), yada yada, so I can't confirm any of the information in this FAQ. In other words, use at your own risk.
