This time, I've mad a FAQ for the original SNES Cimeatic Fighting game. Well, I haven't covered all the Yuu Yuu Hakusho games yet, so you can probably expect more FAQs in the future . This game set the way for Yuu Yuu Hakusho 3: Tokubetuhen. It features simular graphics (tho not as good) and gameplay. Hakusho is tougher to Tokubetuhen in regards to the "Rei" ("Spirit") attacks. Not only do you have Spirit attacks, but you now have a seperate energy bar as well wich I tenativly call the "Energy" bar. This bar measures what strength you have for non-offensive techniuqes AND for your jump. Tokubetuhen took these bars and made them into one, and automaticly transfered the energy gained to your bar, in this game you must do that manually. If you forget to do this, you may find yourself fighting using only your fists, since you'll have no Spirit strength or Energy left. Another differeance is this game doesn't seem to have any secret characters, but instead uses passwords for character activation. Also, Genkai cannot become young like in Tokubetuhen, but uses her younger form's strength to power up her Spirit attacks. Also, Yohko Kurama doesn't seem to exist in this version. One other major change is that projectile attacks do not collide, so can't cancel eachother out. This means that both characters have equal risk at being hit by their opponent's technique. Well, I hope you enjoy this game and that my FAQ becomes usefull in your aventure. If you are interested in any of my other FAQs about Yuu Yuu Hakusho or any of my Anime and Non-Anime FAQs, you can visit my homepage located at http://pages.prodigy.net/guyver_3/ If you're just interested to know what games I've written FAQs for, I'll save you time and give you a list. Here are the games as of this writing: Non-Anime related: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Fighting Edition The Justice Leauge: Task Force Anime: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Bishoujo Sensji Sailor Moon R G-Gundam Yuu Yuu Hakusho Yuu Yuu Hakusho II (Game Gear) Yuu Yuu Hakusho III: Tokubetuhen Yuu Yuu Hakusho IV: Final In this FAQ I tried to get as many of the japanese names for the moves and their translations as best I could right away. This isn't easy since I don't know enough Japanese and my only real skill is converting the Kana into Romaji. I think I did rather well for a novice and I hope you agree. If you have any suggestions or can give me any information that I'm missing, please write me. I look forword to any mail I can get. I want to thank you all for your continued apreciation of my FAQs and I hope I can continue to bring you comprehensive FAQs for playing Japanese and Anime games. I enjoy this stuff so much, that I don't want other Anime (or Emulation) fans out there to miss out. Thank you once again. I'm sure you've heard enough from me, so on to the FAQ. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAIN MENU-- SUTOORII (Story) FURII taisen (Free Competition) Option ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MENU MODES-- Story-- A one-player game where you fight through the Yuu Yuu Hakusho story. There are two options in this mode: New Game, wich starts you off at the begining, and Password, where you can pick up where you left off last time you played. The only players you get in this mode will be Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Genkai. Free Competition-- This is basicly a battle mode. You select your character and your opponent. When you select this option, you will be given a password screen, the password you use determines what characters you can select. After this you are given two more options wich will be covered in a moment. Options-- Your standard options mode. This will be covered in the next sections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPTIONS SCREEN-- KIIKONFIGA (Key Configure) SAUNDO settei (Sound Setup) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPTION MODES-- Key Configure-- Controler setup Sound Setup-- This mode lets you listen to the various Back Ground Musics (BGM) and audio tracks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOUND SETUP OPTIONS-- MOODO (Mode) SUTEREO / MONORARU (Stereo) / (Monorail) kuon NOOMARU / kuon / kuon / kuon (sound ) (Normal / sound / sound / sound) *If you have any idea what these modes are, please let me know* BGM No. 00 (00 - 28) *Listen to BackGroun Music* BOISU (Voice) No. 00 (00 - 68) *Listen to the Voice Samples in the game* *Dunno what it sez, but it's the exit command* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FREE COMPETITION-- TAIMAN CHIIMU sen (Team ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMPETITION MODES-- TAIMAN -- One on One fight to the finish. after selecting this you can select 1p. Vs. 2p. or 1p. Vs. Com. CHIIMU sen-- You and your opponent select 5 characters (The same character cannot be selected by both sides). after you've selected your characters you will see a cross of five points (Up, Down, Left, Right, and Center) representing the locations on your control pad. This is where you select the order your characters will fight in. The selection is as follows: Top Character: Up + A Bottom Character: Down + A Left Character: Left + A Right Character: Right + A Center Character: A After the order has been chosen by both sides, the fighting will comense. The bar at the top shows you what number character you're on. Press B to deslecect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PASSWORD SYSTEM-- The password system is based on button presses on the contoler. So the only letters in the Password are Y, B, X, and A. Just hit the buttons according to what your password was and you're all set. The control pad moves the position cursor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCREEN LAYOUT-- The Screen-- Here's a *very* rough idea of what the screen looks like: ______________________________ | Player 1 HP | Player 2 HP | |------------------------------| | Action Screen | | | |------------------------------| | Move Bar Move Bar | | (Inv.) 0/\0 (Inv.) | | Energy Bar 0/ \0 Energy Bar | | Spirit Bar 0\ /0 Spirit Bar | |_____________0\/0_____________| HP Bar-- At the top of the screen is a yellow bar wich represents your Hit Point level. This bar will turn from yellow, to red, and then to black. Once this bar is all black, your character has been defeated. Action Screen-- This is where all the action unfolds and animations take place. "Move" Bar-- Just below the Action Screen is a bar that will fill up whenever a direction is pressed on the control pad. This bar represents strength and hit success of any move you try and pull off. You usualy if not always want this bar full when doing punches, defence, Spirit techs, or energy techs. The less the bar is filled the less likely that your attacks will connect. Inventory Box-- This small box below the "Move" Bar is where the Power Boxes/Orbs that you've earned in battle are kept. If one is not used and you get a differant one, the new one will replace the old and you cannot get the old one back again unless you earn another in battle. Special Move Bars: "Energy" Bar-- The blue bar below the Inventory Box. This represents how much "Energy" you have left to use for Defensive Techniques and for jumping. If you don't have enough energy for a technique then nothing will happen when that button is pressed. "Spirit" Bar-- Below the "Energy" Bar is the "Spirit" Bar. This is exactly like the "Energy" Bar except this measures strength available for "Spirit" techniques. "Spirit" techniques are usually offensive special moves, but some have other effects. Energy Transfer System-- At the bottom center of the screen is an sphere with transperant flames in it. These flames are the amount of energy that is up for grabs the current round of combat. This energy is transfered into orbs on either side of the sphere depending on who won that energy. This energy can be split between the combatants at differant ratios depending upon the outcome of the action. You cannot go over the amount of spaces available for these orbs. Anything won over the amount you have left is lost. Your best bet is to transfer this energy into one or both of your special move bars right away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTROL KEY-- <- -- Left on control pad -> -- Right on control pad /\ -- Up on control pad \/ -- Down on control pad "/" -- Divider for buttons. (Example: Y/B/A means press Y or B or A) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ STANDARD CONTROLS-- NOTE: <- and -> are reversed for right side player. Y -- Use Boxes/Orbs X -- Transfer energy orbs into your "Energy" Bar B -- Transfer energy orbs into your "Spirit" Bar A -- Use Boxes/Orbs -> + Y -- Overhanded Punch -> + X -- Overhanded Punch -> + B -- Underhanded Punch -> + A -- Underhanded Punch <- + Y -- Block (There is a differance between these ) <- + X -- Block (blocks, but we have yet to figure them) <- + B -- Block (out. We hope to soon. Our apologies.) <- + A -- Block ( --The Management-- ) /\ + X -- Jump /\ + Y/B/A -- 'Energy' Technique \/ + Y/X/B/A -- 'Spirit' Technique ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POWER BOXES/ORBS-- Orange -- "ai" - "Love" - Restores HP Yellow -- "rei" - "Spirit" - Restores Spirit Bar Blue -- Restores Energy Bar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL SITUATIONS-- Yellow Aura -- Refers to the "rei ryoku APPU" or "Spirit Strength Up" state Your Spirit moves become more powerful and sometimes even get new effects. Those effects will be listed in parenthasis "()" Red -- Refrance comes from Yuu Yuu Hakusho Tokubetuhen where you would get a red aura if you used this technique. This refers to the "PANCHI ryoku APPU" or "Punch Strength Up" state. Very nice if you have to resort to your fists. Disable -- This state removes your opponent's ability to use his "Energy" techniques, including jumping. This state is not permanent, but can be very bothersome. The shields -- Moves such as "Yo-Yo Shield" or "Blast Barrier" can absorb attacks thrown into them. Split Image -- This is an evasive technique. Most are only limited to that round of combat, but the "Mad Door" technique is a permanent free hit with no damage. I believe this is the only "Split Image" or in his case "Double Image" that stays with you untill a clean hit is scored. Angry Roars -- These moves seem only useful to knock your opponent down so you can get in a free hit while they're getting up or so you can power up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHARACTER NUMBERING CHART-- # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 # 5 # 6 # 7 # 8 # 9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHARACTER MOVE LIST-- NOTE: Anything in quotation marks are moves that I've translated into Romaji or English.
