B. MISCELLANEOUS THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

First of all, the Special Meter has changed since Night Warriors.  Instead of
being similar to the X-Men: CoTA Special Meter, it's like the Marvel Super
Heroes Special Meter.  Apparently there is no limit to how many bars you can 
get.  The counter just keep getting higher.  There probably is, but chances 
are you'll never reach it so don't worry about it.  As always, you can gain 
Special Meter by performing any attack, hitting your opponent, or getting hit.

When you have one or more bars of Special, you can do an ES or EX.  For those 
that don't know, ES stands for Enhanced Special and EX is short for EXtra 
special.  An ES is a stronger form of a special move done by pressing 2 punch 
of kick buttons when doing the move.  For example, to do the ES version of 
Morrigan's Soul Fist do the regular motion (D, DT, T) but this time, press two 
punch buttons.  An EX is a powerful, unique move done using more elaborate 
joystick motions.  ES and EXs use 1 bar of Special.  Some EXs use 2 or more.

When on the floor, press T or B + Punch or Kick to roll or slide forward or 
backward and get up.

When the opponent is on the floor, press U + Punch or Kick to hit him/her/it
before he/she/it gets up.  An ES version of the Pursuit Attack is possible by 
pressing U + 2 punches or kicks.

You can still land on your feet after being thrown by pressing T + punch.  
Tech. Hits save you about half the energy loss you would have experienced.

In the middle of the block stun, press punch or kick rapidly to push your 
opponent away.  For some reason, this is also called Tech. Hit.  

Everyone now has this thing called Dark Force.  It is initiated by pressing a
punch and kick button of the same strength simultaneously.  During Dark Force,
a special backgorund appears and you have special powers depending on the 
character used.  A meter appears under the life markers that slowly depletes.  
When you get hit, a chunk of the meter disappears.  When the meter runs out, 
a life marker (yours or your opponent) is gone, or when you press the same 
buttons you used to start Dark Force, it ends.  It takes 1 bar of Special.

Speaking of life markers, let me explain what they are.  Vampire Savior 
eliminates the normal system (rounds) and adopts Killer Instincts type of 
play.  When the energy meter runs out, you lose a life marker (symbolized by a 
bat).  The opponent retains the energy he/she/it has and the fight continues.  
When you lose both life markers, you lose the match.

There is even a new way to lose energy.  When you get hit, part of the energy
you lose turns white.  This white part slowly turns back into the green part 
(which is the energy you have left).  I'm not exactly sure what attack will 
turn what percentage of the energy lost white.  I am sure that all energy lost 
by blocking any special move will turn white.

Everybody has a Guard Cancel, done by pressing T, D, DT + Punch or Kick.  It
must be done during the block stun, which is when you are knocked back when 
you block an attack.  It is usually a Dragon Punch-like move.  Do any special 
move while getting up or after a block stun and it will be counted as a 
reversal.  Most Guard Cancels and all reversals can be ESed.

Now a trend in Capcom games, you can now taunt by pressing start.  You can 
taunt as many times as you want, it doesn't really matter.

In a one player game, you fight 6 fighters in 6 different locations.  Then you
fight your boss.  Some fighters have Jedah as the last boss, others fight 
Jedah before their boss.  In other words, you either fight Jedah last or next 
to last.  The locations, not the fighters, are represented by symbols:
Fetus of God: Infinity symbol (Jedah, [Demitri if you are Jedah])
Vanity Paradise: Star (Lilith, Sasquatch, Hsien-Ko)
Concrete Cave: Eye (John Talbain, Baby Bonnie Hood)
Forever Torment: 3 triangles (L. Raptor, Victor) 
Deserted Chateau: Diamond (Morrigan, Lilith)
War Agony: Missile or Bomb (Victor, Baby Bonnie Hood)
Feast of the Damned: Bat (Demitri, [Morrigan if you are Demitri])
Red Thirst: Triangle (Anakaris)
Green Screem: I can't tell, maybe a flower (Rikuo, Q-Bee, Sasquatch)
Iron Horse, Iron Terror: Skull (different depending on who you are)

C. THE FIGHTERS
The order in which the fighters appear is my personal ranking.  It's my 
opinion you don't have to listen to it, but hey... it's my FAQ.

Jedah
This guy has moves for any occasion, which is why I like him.  However, I 
really suck at him for now.

Dio Sehga
D, DT, T + Punch
He throws a circular blade which spins the air until 2 seconds later or it 
hits the opponent.  It is thrown at different angles, depending on the button 
used:  1=low, 2=straight, 3=high.  If done in mid air: 1=flies straight, 
2=floats down 3=floats down a bit further.
ES: He throws a huge blade that hits up to 5 times.

Nero Fatica
D, DB, B + punch
Jedah slides back while clawing the air.  If the opponent touches the claw 
marks he/she/it is trapped in a bubble (it's supposed to be blood) and is cut
with a scythe made from his wings.  This can't be blocked, so avoid it by 
ducking.
ES: If it connects, he does two attacks, followed by a scythe.

Ira Splinta
T, DT, D, DB, B + Kick (then punch)
This has to be done in mid air.  He floats a bit, then dives at the opponent.
If he touches him/her/it, he lifts him/her/it up, slams him/her/it up and 
drills the opponent using his wings.
ES: The drill does more damage and there's more "blood".
If you press punch while he's floating, he turns into the circular blade and
dives at his opponent.  The lower the strength used, the steeper the dive.
ES: The blade hits more.  The ES is done by pressing 2 punches, not by doing
the ES of the first move.

Splecio
T, D, DT + punch
He cuts of his head and the blood sprays the opponent.  This is a Guard Cancel
only.

Vertical Dash
D, U
He flies up and back, like Morrigan.

Air Dash
dash in midair (duh)
What's unique is that this is an attack in itself and will hit the opponent if
he/she/it is to close.

Name Unknown
T, DT, D, DB, B + kick
Jedah connects a pump to the opponent and starts blowing up a body part until 
it explodes.  This is a special throw.
ES: Unknown

Dark Force
Santo Ario
Basically, he now can fly around.

EX Plova Di Selbo
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks, then another kick
He cuts his wrists and way too much blood starts flowing.  At the second kick
press, the blood turns into a hand.  If it grabs the opponent, it slams and 
rubs him/her/it into the ground and slams him into a stone contract as it 
leaves a bloody mark.  As he/she/it falls down, a sphere gets absorbed into 
Jedah's body.  By the way, this is unblocklable.

EX Finale Rosso
D, D + 2 punches
Jedah sticks his hand in the ground and a pool of blood with hands sticking 
out appears directly under the opponent.  The hands drag the opponent in and 
the hands attack and throw the opponent back out.  This is also unblockable.


Morrigan Aensland
I like her because she is fast and has a lot of good attacks.  Plus she's also
weird.

Soul Fist
D, DT, T + punch
She fires a bat surrounded by energy, which eventually fades away.  Using 3
makes it go farther.  In the air, she fires it diagonally down.
ES: She fires a huge projectile which hits 3 times.

Shadow Blade
T, D, DT + punch
It's a Dragon Punch.  What more do you want?  This is her Guard Cancel.
ES: It hits more in the air.  Kinda like Sagat's Tiger Claw in SFA.

Vertical Dash
D, U
She flies back and up.  Pressing any other direction results in a dash in that 
direction.

Vector Drain
T, DT, D, DB, B + kick
She grabs the opponent, flies up and slams her into the ground.  This is a 
Special Throw.
ES: Same thing, except she spins more and more damaging.

Dark Force
Astral Vision
A double appears on the other side of the screen and mirrors her normal moves.
This doubles attack damage, but for normal moves only.

EX Valkrie Turn
T, DT, D, DB, B + kick
She flies off and comes back with her body turned into a drill.  The button 
used determines where she starts drilling: 1=low, 2=middle, 3=real high.

EX Darkness Illusion
1, 1, T, 4, 3
Morrigan floats forward a small distance.  If it hits the opponent, she 
creates a double and they beat the opponent like Reginald Denney.

EX Finishing Shower
2, 1, B, 4, 5
She floats back and starts firing a barrage of missiles.

EX 
T, 3, 2, 1, T
Her hand extends across the entire screen.  If it's not blocked, then you get
shocked, kinda.


Rikuo
I like him because he has damaging moves and good combos.

Sonic Wave
Charge B, then T + Punch
He lets out these rings.  If they hit, they stun the opponent.  If they hit 
in the air they float for a while.  If hit by any attack while floating, they 
fall to the ground.
ES: Greater range and a little more damage, plus they are stunned longer.

Poison Cloud
Charge B, then T + Kick
He puffs out a poison cloud.  If it hits, the opponent is left dizzy.  The  
button used determines where the cloud ends up: 1=close, 2=middle of screen,
3=other end of screen.
ES: The Cloud fills the whole screen

Trick Fish
B, B + Kick or T, D, DT + Kick for Guard Cancel
He dashes back and flies upward feet first.  This can be used to get out of a
corner, but only if it doesn't hit the opponent because this doesn't follow
through.  As the Guard Cancel, it is obviously done differently.
ES: It hits more.

Cataract Cry
T, DT, D, DB, B + punch
He grabs the opponent, hits him/her/it twice and slams the opponent.  This is 
a Special Throw.
ES: He hits him/her/it more before slamming the opponent into the ground.

Name Unknown
T, DT, D + Kick
He throws the opponent in the air, turns into an oyster and spits pearls at 
the opponent.  This is a throw.
ES:  More pearls followed by the Trick Fish.

Dark Force
Ocean Rage
The screen is filled with water and Rikuo rides a sled, but you can get off by
jumping.  While on the sled, he does crouching attacks.  During Dark Force, he
doesn't get stunned when he gets hit, but he can't block.

EX Aqua Spread
T, DT, D + 2 punches or 2 kicks
His arms turn into tentacles and as long as you hold down the buttons, he 
drops water along the ground.  When he lets go, a pillar of water appears 
where the last drop was.

EX Water Jail
T, D, DT + 2 punches
He creates a huge bubble that can't be blocked.  It goes away when he's hit.
If the opponent gets trapped, it drains energy until Rikuo hits the trapped
opponent.

EX Sea Rage
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 punches
Water starts rushing across the ground.  This is blocked high.

EX Direct Scissors
D, D + 2 punches
This is the fluke EX.  It's a crouching fierce and even if it hits, it causes
minimal damage.  The messed up part is that it uses three bars of Special 
Meter.


Demitri Maximoff
I don't like him that much because he's too much like Ryu and Ken, too 
predictable.

Chaos Flare
D, DT, T + punch
He fires a bat surrounded by fire.  If it hits the bat starts chomping the
opponent.  Much different than before.  Can be done in the air.
ES:  The same size, only 1 hit, it just does more damage.

Demon Cradle
T, D, DT + Punch
He spins upward with his cape turned into bat wings.  When doing the D, DT 
part during a dash, he spins diagonally.
ES: It hits more, like Ken's Shinryuken.

Bat Spin
D, DB, B + Kick
He disappears and reappears above the opponent and turns into a drill and 
drives into the opponent.  You can dissapear in mid air.
ES: He keeps drilling until he reaches the ground.

Negative Stolen
360 + punch
It is done and looks like the Spinning Pile Driver.  This is a special throw.
ES: Unknown

EX Demon Pillion
D, T, DT + 2 kicks
He turns into a swarm of bats and they fly forward.

EX Midnight Bliss
D, T, DT + 2 punches
He floats forward a bit.  If he touches the opponent, lifts him/her/it by the 
neck, turns him into a girl (if she is already, then he turns her into 
something else) and sucks the energy from her.

EX Midnight Pleasure
1, 2, T, 5, 5
He floats forward.  If he catches the opponent, he bites the opponent and 
attacks before throwing him/her/it.  Oh, yeah, this takes 2 levels of Special.
It's worth it because it ain't blockable.


Hsien-Ko
I like her because she has all these implements of destruction at her 
fingertips, literally. The moves in parentheses are not translations (as far 
as I know), they are just the English names. 

Ankihou (random object throw)
D, DT, T + punch
She throws random objects at her opponent.  The button used determines how she 
throws them: 1=straight across, 2=a high arc, 3=straight up, then straight 
down.
ES:  She throws 3 spiked balls across the floor.

Henkyouki (Reflect Gong)
D, DB, B + punch
She pulls out a gong and bangs it.  The resulting wave hits and reflects 
projectiles.  This can be done in the air.
ES:  The wave is longer and hits more.

Senpuubu (Guillotine Swing)
T, D, DT + punch
She whips out a chain and swings back and worth while spinning. Tap punch to 
get more hits, kick to let go of the chain early.  This is also her Guard 
Cancel.
ES:  She swings more.

Houtengeki
T, DT, D, DB, B + punch
She tosses her opponent up and catches him/her/it with her blades and she 
spins on her back.  This is a special throw.
ES: Unknown

Dark Force
Rimoukon
Mei-Ling returns to normal, letting Hsien-Ko run wild.  
She doesn't get stunned when she's hit, she's faster and more powerful.

EX Chireitou
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
She sticks her hands in the ground and sends out huge blades in a wave 
pattern.

EX Chuukadan
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 punches
She throws out a time bomb.  Anyone that hits hit will make it bounce.  When 
it blows up, it will do damage to whomever is near it.

EX Tenraiha
4, 6, 2, 2, U
She drops a huge weight which causes an earthquake which must be blocked low.  
Then she lets out all these spiked balls that can cause huge damage.


Baby Bonnie Hood
Other than Hsien-Ko, this is the funniest character.  She's a serial killer 
dressed up as Red Riding Hood.  Her fierce attacks are an uzi with limited 
range, exactly the fire blasts from her gun.  Her roundhouse attacks are 
mines.

Smiling Missile
Charge B, then T + punch or kick
She fires a missile out of her basket. The missiles have limited range and 3 
and 6 flies the farthest.  Press punch top do 'em high, kick to do 'em low.
ES:  The missile has unlimited range and hits 3 times.

Happy Missile
Charge D, then U + punch
She jumps up and fires a missile diagonally downward.
ES:  Same as the Smiling Missile.

Shy Strike
D, DB, B + punch
She swings her basket.  Hold down the button to delay the swing.
ES:  The basket does more damage.

Cheery Fire
T, D, DT + punch
She holds a champagne bottle which spits flame upwards.  Used as a defense 
against air attacks.
ES:  The flame is spitted out longer.

Jealousy & Fake
T, D, DT + kick
She teleports behind the opponent, leaving a doll.  This can only be done as 
a Guard Cancel.

Around & Around
T, DT, D, DB, B + Punch
If she grabs the opponent, she dances around him/her/it, eventually creating 
a whirlwind that sends the opponent up, then down.  This is a special throw 
move.
ES: Unknown

Sneak Attack
D + 3 kicks
She dives at her opponent, lying down.

Dark Force
The Killing Time
All her punch attacks become missiles.  If you do the Smiling Missile motion, 
it automatically becomes ESed.

EX Cool Hunting
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 punch
She lifts the blanket from her basket and two guys pop out with a big missile 
launcher and all of them start busting caps.  BB's gun has the same range as 
her fierce attacks. The missiles usually sail over a standing opponent 
(except Anakaris, who is the only one tall enough).

EX Beautiful Memory
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
She jumps forward with knives in her hands while she remembers her grandma.  
If she catches the opponent, she slices, cries and slams her opponent in the 
pool of tears.

EX Apple for You
T, DT, D, DB, B + 2 kicks
She sticks out an apple.  If the opponent touches it, she ducks while the 
apple explodes in the opponent's face.


John Talbain
Honestly, I would mention him earlier, but he's so boring after a while.

Beast Laser
D, DT, T + punch
He flies forward surronded by energy.  Press punch again and any direction to 
make him do another one in that direction.  When done in the air, he goes 
diagonally downward.
T, D, DT + punch
Same thing except he goes diagonally up.  It can be repeated the same way.
ES:  He can repeat and change directions 5 times.

Climb Kick
D, U, + kick
He flips up, kinda like Guile and Charlie's Flash Kick.
ES:  The kick hits more and does more damage.

Million Flicker
D, DB, B + punch
He whips out nunchuks and starts swinging.  Keep pressing punch to keep 
swinging.
ES:  He swings more and faster.

Wild Circular
T, DT, D, DB, B + Kick
He grabs the opponent and tosses and slams him/her/it back.  This is a special 
throw.
ES:  He slams the opponent twice.

Ducking
D + 3 kicks
He lays real low.

Dark Force
Mirage Body
All these other images appear behind him and follow up his moves.

EX Dragon Cannon
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
He sends out a dragon shaped flame that goes across the screen.

EX Moment Slice
1, 2, T, 4, 5
If it manages to catch the opponent, Talbain claws upwards, slicing the 
opponent.

Felicia
I don't like her that much anymore because she lost some real good moves.

Rolling Punch
D, DT, T + punch (,punch)
She curls into a ball and rolls forward.  At the second punch press, she does 
a leaping uppercut.
ES:  The ball hits more and so does the leaping uppercut.

Cat Spike
T, D, DT + punch
She throws a ballon and then pounces it.  The ball and the pounce are supposed 
to hit.
ES:  She jumps straight up, and throws the ball downward.

Delta Kick
T, D, DT + kick
She kicks straight up, then starts kicking diagonally downward.  This is also 
her Guard Cancel.
ES: She kicks more coming down, resulting in major damage.

Special Pursuit
D, D + punch
You must be close to the fallen opponent.  Felicia will scratch the chest the 
opponent.
ES: More scratches.

Special Meter Charge
D, D + 2 Kicks
She slowly charges the Special Meter. Hold the buttons to keep charging.

Hell Cat
T, DT, D, DB, B + kick
She grabs her opponent, then spins around tearing up the opponent.  This is a 
throw move.
ES: Unknown

Dark Force
Kitty the Helper
Another little kitty comes up and follows her around.  When Felicia attacks, 
the friend pounces on the opponent adding a hit.

EX Dancing Flash
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 punches
She rolls forward in the EX colors.  If she hits the opponent, she starts 
punching and kicking, ended by a leaping uppercut.  Don't confuse the motion 
of this with the ES Rolling Punch.

EX Please Help Me
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
She calls on her friend who appears according to which 2 kick buttons you 
press:   4+5=friend runs across, 5+6=friend jumps to the corner, 4+6=friend 
drops from the middle of the screen.  If the friend misses or is blocked, 
Felicia can't do a damn thing until the friend is gone.

Lilith
She reminds me a lot of Dan.  First she has most of Morrigan's normal attacks, 
and alternate versions of her special moves.

Soul Flash
D, DT, T + punch
She throws a heart.  Like Dan's Gadouken, very short range.  This can be done 
in the air.
ES:  The heart is pretty much indestructable and it goes a little bit longer, 
but a whole lot slower.

Shining Blade
T, D, DT + punch
Her wings turn into a blade and she jumps up.  This is her Guard Cancel.
ES:  Again, like Dan's Kouryureppa, she does 3 Shining Blades in place.

Soul Spin
D, DB, B + kick
She spins with her wings turned into blades.  The good thing about this is 
that if an opponent jumps behind you, do this and you'll still hit him/her/it.
ES:  It hits more.

High Jump
D, U
Exactly what it sounds like.  She jumps higher and farther.

Substitute Arrow
T, DT, D, DB, B + punch
She jumps forward, tries to grab her opponent, changes her wings into a bow, 
and shoots the opponent to the wall.  This is a special throw.
ES: More damage.

Dark Force
Mindless Doll
Pressing 3+6 will create a double that follows her every move.  Anything else 
is like Morrigan's Dark Force.

EX Splendor Love
T, D, DT + 2 kicks
She flies up semi-nude with bats circuling her.  She can still get hit by a 
stray air projectile.

EX Luminous Vision
1, 1, T, 4, 3
Her version of the Darkness Illusion.

EX Gloomy Puppet Show
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
She throws a top hat.  If it hits, he/she/it is all strung up and she says, 
"Showtime!".  Press the buttons that are flashing next to your opponent in a 
very steady motion.  Do it correctly and you'll get extra points.  This uses 2 
levels of Special meter.

Q-Bee
Not a lot of useful moves, but she's okay.

C oø R
D, DT, T + punch
She floats forward.  If she's not blocked, she stings her opponent in the 
stomach multiple times before slamming him/her/it.  This can be done in the 
air.
ES: She creates a hive around her opponent, dies, then another Q-Bee pops out 
and cracks the hive.

/_\ A (delta A)
D, DB, B + kick
She flies to the corner and flies down, stinger first.  This can be done in 
the air.  The stronger the button the less steeper the angle she comes down.
ES: The opponent is poisoned.

S x p
tap kick repeatedly
She stings repeatedly, like Chun Li's famous Lighning Kick.

R. M.
T, D, DT + kick
She stings upward.  Can only be done as a Guard Cancel.

ƒtd
T, DT, D, DB B + punch
She sticks her stinger in the opponent, then launches the stinger and the 
opponent to the wall.  This is a Special Throw.
ES: Unknown

Dark Force
I^2
She flies around.

EX Qj
T, D, DT + 2 punch
She creates a bubble of honey which bounces around.  If it hits, it traps the 
opponent.  Unlike Rikuo's bubble move, this can be blocked.

EX +B
B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
She calls on all these bees which go toward the opponent.  If they hit, more 
bees come and mess the opponent up.

Lord Raptor
Actually, it a tie between him and the next guy.  He's the only one who speaks 
English as far as I can tell.

Death Copter
D, DB, B + kick
He flies up with his arms rotating.  In the air, he flies diagonally down.
ES:  It hits more instead of just once.

Skull Sting
D, U + kick
He jumps up, turns his leg into a mini circular saw and goes straight down.
ES:  It hits a lot more.

Hell's Gate
B, DB, D, DT, T + kick
Le Marta swallows him and spits him back out in another place.  In other words, 
it's a teleport.

Death Phrase
T, D, DT + kick
He whips out the guitar and plays a wave that stuns the opponent (doesn't 
knock down).  This is his Guard Cancel.

Skull Punish
T, DT, D, DB, B + punch
He grabs the opponent, slams him/her/it down and continues to punch while on 
the ground.  This is a special throw.
ES: More punches.

Dark Force
Ultimate Undead
Le Marta turns into a chain saw.  All his attacks involve chainsaws and he 
can even hit you if you get near him.  No special moves can be done during 
this time.

EX Evil Scream
T, B + 2 punches
He does his standing fierce and flashes the EX colors.  If he hits the 
opponent, he follows up with an uppercut.

EX Death Voltage
T, DT, D, DB, B + 2 kick
This is the electrified version of the Death Copter.  Much more powerful than 
ES.

EX Hell Dunk
T, D, DT + 2 punches
Le Marta opens his big mouth and tries to swallow you.  If he does, he spits 
you out into a ball, turns into a backboard and Raptor slams dunks the 
opponent.  ("I got a basketball jones, I got a basketball jones" from Space 
Jam Soundtrack...like to sing it when I do this).

Bishamon
Would have liked this character if he used something other than his sword.  
Would have liked him more if I could beat him the first time around.  The 
moves in parentheses are not translations, just the english name.

Karame Tamashii (Soul Stun)
B, DB, D, DT, T + punch
He sends out those two little flames he has on his shoulders.  If he hits you 
on the ground, you're dizzy for a while.  If it hits you in the air, you get 
knocked back down.  Doing this in the air and he'll send them diagonally 
downward.
ES:  It's bigger and does more damage.  Even stuns a little bit longer.

Tamashii Yose to Kienzan (Soul Summon to Upper Slash)
B + punch, T, D, DT + punch
If the Karame Tamashii stuns, the first move draws in the opponent, the second 
does a sword uppercut while he/she/it is really close.
ES: The uppercut hits more.

Tsuji Hayate (Storm Slash)
D, DT, T + punch
If the Karame Tamashii stuns, do this move and he will run the opponent 
through twice.
ES:  The sword runs through, then a spirit appears above the opponent and forces 
the opponent to commit harakiri (suicide).

Kienzan
T, D, DT + punch
This is the same move as above.  It's his dragon punch, basically.  It can 
only be done as a Guard Cancel or a reversal.
ES: It hits more.

Iai Giri (Quick Slash)
Charge B, then T + punch or kick
He does a quick cross slash.  Pressing punch slashes high, kick slashes low.
ES: He slashes more, resulting in more hits.

Kirisut Gomen
360 + punch
If you thought he could do the Kienzan whenever he wanted to, this was why.  
If he grabs you, he does the Kienzan.  This is a throw move.
ES: Again, the Kienzan hits more.

Dark Force
Ohgon Katabira
During Dark Force, he doesn't get stunned when he gets hit.  However, the 
energy he loses cannot be regained (it doesn't turn white).

EX Sidewalk Slice
D, D + 2 punch
This is a special pursuit attack that takes 1 level of special.  It just 
slices the opponent in half.  If used to finish the opponent and win the 
match, the lower half of the opponent's body stays on the ground while the 
upper half is on a table behind Bishamon.

EX Oni Kubi Hineri
T, DT, D, DB, B + 2 punches
A huge hand comes out from his armor.  If it grabs you, it squeezes you.  You 
can't block this.

B, DB, D, DT, T + 2 kicks
A stone glides across the ground.  If it's not blocked low, heavier stones 
continue to fall under the opponent.

opponent.
ES: He ducks and sends a wave of icicles across the ground.

He grabs the opponent by the legs and swings him around leaving him dizzy for 
a while.  This is another special throw.

following up his attacks

He fires a huge beam from his mouth that freezes the opponent.

he/she/it slips, falls through and gets thrown out by a tail frozen.

720 + 2 kicks
He does the throwing motion.  If he grabs the opponent, he uses him/her/it as 
a sleigh and rides it and hits him with his butt.

Anakaris
He's not last because he has a lot of useful moves.  He's not on top because 
he is the slowest thing here.

He drops a coffin from out of nowhere.  The stronger the button, the farther 
away the coffin drops.
ES: Coffins start droping from all over.

Royal Curse
D, DT, T + punch
He sends out a group of soul at the opponent.  If they hit, they turn the 
opponent into something else.  During this time, the opponent can't block.

Spell of Turning
D, DB, B + punch (D, DT, T + punch)
Press the first motion to absorb any projectile.  Press the second to spit it
back out.  Swallowing two will result in the ES version going out.
ES:  Now able to absorb ES projectiles

Cobra Blow
B, T + punch
His arms turn into a giant cobra and strike across the screen.  The stronger 
the button used, the longer the strike and the more hits.  If the cobra gets
hit, you get damage.
ES:  Covers the entire screen and gets a lot of hits.

Mummy Drop
D, DT, T + punch
He sends out his hands and they try to grab the opponent.  If they do, 
he/she/it is wrapped up, swung a little and slammed.  The stronger the button 
you use, the farther away the hands will appear.  If you hit the hands, he 
gets full damage.
ES: The hands slowly float forward.  If they grab the opponent, he/she/it is 
sent into the coffin, it jumps up and down, then he/she/it is kicked out.

The Word of Truth
T, D, DT + 2 punch
This can only be done as his Guard cancel.  I've never done it so I don't know 
what it does.  This may be an EX move since it takes 1 level from the Special
meter.

the upper half can't block.

joining the opponent.  This takes 2 levels.

EX Pharaoh Magic 3
6, 2, 4, D, 1, 5, 3
Much more powerful.  Uses 3 levels.

Short Jump
D + 3 kicks
A very small hop.  It avoids low attacks.

Dark Force
Great Gerdenheim
Pressing 3+6 will automatically make all of his normals electrified (normally, 
you have to press down first).  Anything else and all of his punch attacks 
turn into grabs.  Plus his dash is better but that's no excuse.

EX Thunder Break
Charge D, then U + 2 kicks
He jumps up and slams the ground sending electricity along it.  This can be 
blocked, but is hard to avoid.

EX Gerdenheim 3
720 + 2 kicks
I have never seen it done, I just know it exists.


D. THINGS I NEED
As you can plainly see, this FAQ is very incomplete.  Here is a list of things 
I need:  The name and the description of the ES version of Jedah's special 
throw.  A description of all the ES versions of the special throws, except 
Bishamon's and Raptor's.  The ES versions of the moves that can only be done 
as Guard Cancels, except Bishamon's.  In other words, everything I said I 
don't know, I need.  In this game, a lot of Japanese is spoken.  As a public 
service I would like to have those sayings translated, but since I can't 
translate it or write down what they are saying into romanized Japanese 
correctly, I will need the help of someone who can.  Any other corrections are 
welcome.  If you can help me, please e-mail me at DTaylor640(@aol.com).


E. CREDITS
The only person I owe any thanks to is Kenichiro Tanaka.  Most of the names I 
used and the special moves I got were posted on the arcade machine by Capcom.  
The others I got from his FAQ.  Unfortunately, he doesn't update his FAQ, 
even though I send him corrections and additional stuff, but he doesn't do a 
damn thing so I take matters into my own hands.

Before I leave, here are a few tricks:
Go to the ? slot when you select your character.  Press start 5 times, then 
press any button to select your character (random, of course).  You should 
see a huge shadowy figure behind your fighter.  Now, if you win, the shadow 
will leave you and possess your opponent.  You now control your opponent for 
the next match.  This keeps going on and on.  The end boss is Jedah.  There 
is no real ending for this mode since the person you fight as last is never 
the same person.

To fight the secret Hannya press punch when selecting a charcater on the 1P 
side and press kick when selecting on the 2P side.  Finish the game without 
losing a life marker and get 3 EX or Dark Force finishes.

To play as a different John Talbain (supposedly the one from Night Warriors) 
hold Start, go to Talbain and press all 3 punches or all 3 kicks.  There is 
supposedly no difference other than the winning pose, the form of the Dragon
Cannon (it's the old one from Night Warriors), and the fact that he is 
glowing.


You can control the winning pose a character does the same way you did in 
Street Fighter Alpha 2.  As soon as you win, hold start and the indicated 
button.  The button you use determines which pose you do.  Again, since I 
don't know Japanese, I'm merely guessing the correct spelling based on what 
I hear.
