This game is one of the most innovative games I've ever played. It's a very interesting and a rather fun fighting game played entirely in cinematics. You'd have to play it for yourself to really understand what it's like. I liked the fact that this game allows for a lot of things to happen. Things such as counter-attacks and repelling projectiles and so on and so on. You get the picture. I still don't know the limits of this game. I really began enjoying this game once I stared to understand it, so I became determined to make an FAQ/Move list so others might enjoy this game as much as I do! I hope I've succeeded. Any spots that I've noted as rough translations are moves that I've tried to translate myself. I'm self taught in reading Japanese (Hirigana and Katakana, I don't know Kanji) so I may not be able to translate some areas and some areas can only be guessed at. Let's just say that my dictionary isn't very good. Besides, dictionaries are just general and don't go into Japanese sentence structure and such. I hope to update this FAQ with the actual move names from the game. We'll just have to see! Well, enough of this, on to the FAQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS-- 1. CHANGES IN FAQ 2. SPECIAL THANKS 3.

I originally thought this state was permanenet. Anyhow, without Kyo-san's help, I may never have been able to make version 1.00. Thanks! : Helped to give me details on doing the Demon Fire Dragon Absorb and originally told me about this technique. Even though this person wants to remain anonymous, I had to write some kinda thanks anyways. Thank you very much and I'm glad you like my FAQ, friend. Aldi Haryadi: Also gave me Dragon Absorb hints but also gave me the secret code I've been looking for, for so long! Now the secret characters are active and their moves posted. Thanks very very much. I though I'd never get this code. Jacob Poon: Gave me a lot of corrections and additions. I'd love to list them all, but I'd just be retyping the entire update text for this version. =) Thanks a lot, friend. "Domo arigatou gozaimasu!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- SCREEN MENUS-- OPENING SCREEN-- Game Options OPTIONS-- Game Skill Level Sound Config (controler) Super Mode: Sterio - Mono Normal BGM test Easy Sound FX test GAME-- One on One Battle Team Battle Tournament Mode Total Battle Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- FIGHTING MODES-- ONE ON ONE--(one or two players) Self Explanitory TEAM BATTLE--(one or two players) Pick 3 characters then what order you wish to fight in. In one player mode, you must select the computer's fighters. Fights are conducted much like SNK's King of Fighters games. If a character wins, he/she recovers a portion of life and moves on to the next character. TOURNAMENT MODE--(one or two players) All characters fight it out for the #1 position. Great place to watch CPU battles TOTAL BATTLE MODE--(one player only) Select your character and go against all the other fighters. You will also fight 3 extra opponents. You will fight "Yohko" Kurama, Young Genkai, and Toguro Otouto at 100% power. You will fight a mirror match last. In this mode, you will also see the ending credits after you've won all the battles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- KEY-- -> -- Joypad Right <- -- Joypad Left /\ -- Joypad Up \/ -- Joypad Down ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- STANDARD CONTROLS-- NOTE: <- and -> are reversed for the right player. -> + X/A -- Overhanded/Underhaned Punch (respectivly) -> + Y/B -- Multiple Overhanded/Underhanded Punches (respectivly) <- + Y/X/B/A -- Block /\ + X -- Jump (can be disabled) /\ + Y/B/A -- "Defensive" Specials (can be disabled) \/ + Y/X/B/A -- "Offensive" Specials Y/A -- Use Power Boxes/Orbs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- POWER BOXES/ORBS-- RED -- "Ai" = "Love -- Gives HP YELLOW -- "Rei" = "Spirit" -- Gives power to "special" meter BLUE -- "Ki" = "Air/Spirit/Mind" -- Restores "K.O." meter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- THE "MOVE" BAR-- There is a bar directly underneath your character. This bar is your "move" bar. when you press a direction on the control pad this bar will charge up. Pressing a button when the bar is barely charged will make your attacks fail more often than not. Waiting for a full charge leads to the best results. In short, this bar determines the accuracy success rate of all of your special moves, be it defensive or offensive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- THE "KO" BAR-- The blue bar just below the "move" bar is the "ko" bar. This bar depletes as you take damage. Once this bar reaches zero, your character will be knocked down to the ground and be vulnerable to attack. Some attacks only affect this meter. You can be knocked down instantly by being hit as you start a jump. NOTE: This meter represents 'touki', which means 'fighting spirit' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- THE "SPECIAL" BAR-- Below the "move" and "KO" bars is the "special" bar. This shows how much power you have to perform special moves. Each special move (and jump) will take power from this bar. If you don't have enough power for a specific move, your character will not respond when you try to activate it. You gain power as you attack your opponent (the "flames" in the orb in the center/bottom of the screen will be transferred to your 'special' when you perform moves. This orb will sometimes have the power boxes/orbs instead of flames which will be transferred to the most effective technique preformed). When this bar is null, you can do nothing but punch and block, so BE CAREFUL!! NOTE: This meter represents 'rei', meaning 'spirit' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- MOVE EFFECTS-- BLIND-- Opponent cannot see what you are doing DISABLE-- Opponent cannot Jump or use "deffensive" specials KO-- Do damage to your opponent's "ko" bar ABSORB-- Damage will not be taken or will be reduced if done at the right moment YELLOW AURA-- Increase damage of specials or change their effect (most visual and effect changes are marked by parenthesis "()") RED AURA-- Increase Punch Strength (guess based on rough translation) SPLIT IMAGE-- A defensive state where, for the round this move is preformed, you cannot be harmed (if used soon enough, that is) and the attack will miss totally. Very useful technique against powerful attacks such as the 'Demon Fire Dragon' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- A QUICK NOTE ON PROJECTILES-- When projectiles collide, several things can happen. Here is a list of what might happen. 1> Projectiles collide and Both dissipate from the impact 2> Projectiles collide and your's continues on 3> Projectiles collide and your opponent's continues on 4> Projectiles collide and both will continue on Also, KO attacks may cause projectiles to dissipate in mid air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- CHARACTER IDENTIFICATION-- #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 (?) #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 (?)-- Selects a Random Character ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- CHARACTER MOVE LIST-- #1: Yuusuke Urameshii /\ + Y -- "Move" bar charges faster /\ + B -- Yellow Aura /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- SHOTTOGAN (Shotgun) \/ + X -- Reigan \/ + B -- Mega Punch (Multi Mega Punch) \/ + A -- Powered Multi Punch #2: Kuwabara Kazuma /\ + Y -- Heal HP /\ + B -- Yellow Aura /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- Fire Beam (Fire Snake) \/ + X -- Fire Shardes \/ + B -- Fire Sword Strike (Twin Sword Strike) \/ + A -- Fire Sword Swing *This move can reflect Hiei's 'Demon Fire Dragon' #3: 'Miwamino Shurichi' Kurama *To get this character to transform into 'Yohko' state, you must activate the Yellow Aura then use the Yellow Aura motion again anytime afterwards /\ + Y -- "Pollen of Dreams" - "Hit Rate Down" /\ + B -- Yellow Aura (Transform) /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- Plant Growth - Poison (Venus Fly Trap Attack) \/ + X -- Rose Peddles \/ + B -- Plant Arm Strike \/ + A -- Rose Whip #3(transformed): Yohko "Demon Fox" Kurama /\ + Y -- Pollen Shower - Heal HP /\ + B -- Yellow Aura /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- Venus Fly Trap Attack \/ + X -- Floating Leaf Plant Family Attack \/ + B -- Blood-Sucking Plant Attack \/ + A -- Thorn Sword #4: Hiei /\ + Y -- Split Image /\ + B -- Yellow Aura /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- Powered Multi Punches \/ + X -- Demon Fire Dragon \/ + B -- Katana (16 Slash Attack) \/ + A -- Green Fire Strike #5: Genkai *Turning Young seems to increase power and effectivness, but this state is temporary /\ + Y -- "Move" bar charges faster /\ + B -- Turn Young (Yellow Aura) /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- Kou!!

Instead of the Aura, your hair will change. This state is not permanent, it will wear off after 8-10 combat rounds or after taking 3-4 hits, whichever comes first.. Each move listed after the forward slashes "/" are when you have blonde hair. I believe this state makes you stronger, and it gives you the potential to activate the 'Meteor Strike' technique w/ blonde hair and Yellow Aura active. /\ + Y -- Split Image / Split Image /\ + B -- Yellow Aura -or- Blonde Hair / Yellow Aura /\ + A -- Blind/Disable / Blind/Disable \/ + Y -- Pineapple (grenade) - KO / Pineapple (grenade) - KO \/ + X -- Flash Bomb / Flash Bomb (Meteor Strike) \/ + B -- Underground Explosion / Underground Explosion \/ + A -- Trace-eye Barrage / Trace-eye Barrage #11: Makimarou /\ + Y -- "Protect Aura" - "Defense up" /\ + B -- Yellow Aura /\ + A -- Red Aura \/ + Y -- Energy Buzz Saw **Can Reflect Projectiles** \/ + X -- Hatchet Throw \/ + B -- Battle Cry - KO \/ + A -- Hatchet Swing #12: Toguro Ani (Elder Brother Toguro) /\ + Y -- Head Split - Heal HP /\ + B -- Defensive Teleport Vs.

First, make sure the Dragon is reflected back at you (well, duh...) then prepare by holding <- (away) to make sure your "move" bar charges as the dragon reflects. Once your "move" bar is full, absorb the dragon by blocking with '<- + A'. Hiei will take the energy, restore a TON of life, fill up his KO bar, and have a fast "move" bar. This is a very difficult trick and doesn't work all the time. The best timing seems to be to hit the 'A' Button a second before the dragon hits the front of the screen. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- SECRET CODE-- If you've ever wanted to play as "Yohko" Kurama, Young Genkai, or Toguro Otouto at 100% power immediately and permanently, well now's your chance! As soon as you start or reset your game QUICKLY press B, A, B, Y repeatedly up untill the opening cinematics start playing. Start the game and when the character screen comes up, highlight Kurama, Genkai, or Toguro Otouto then press either L or R. Their picture should change to their alternate form. To use their original form you must move the cursor off the character then place it back, the picture will have reverted to it's original form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- SECRET CHARACTERS-- Yohko "Demon Fox" Kurama *'Miwamino Shurichi' Kurama's "Yohko" state.
