_________________________________________________________________
In 1994, Human Entertainment; creators of the Fire
Pro Wrestling series, released a brand new video
game to Arcades.
The game: Blazing Tornado, a Pro-Wrestling video
game built from the ground-up; featured a cast of
nine (eight playable, one boss) original Wrestlers
centered around the HWF (Heroic WrestlinG Federation)
promotion.
Graphic and gameplay wise, Blazing Tornado was Human's
answer to Capcom's successful "Saturday Night Slam
Masters" with colorful graphics, over-the-top moves
and a button-mashing Wrestling engine that was
common for many U.S. Wrestling titles at the time.
Alongside a port to the Sega Saturn (as "Fire Pro
Gaiden: Blazing Tornado", the cast of Blazing
Tornado would also make cameo appearances as
unlockable Wrestlers in Human's other Pro Wrestling
series "Super Fire Pro-Wrestling X" and "Super Fire
Pro-Wrestling X Premium" (1995 & 1996).

****** GAMEPLAY ******
========================================================
==============================
Lockup System (front grapple):
==============================
Throws are initiated by approaching the
opponent, which automatically initiates
a "lock up".
During a lockup, players must quickly mash
buttons 1, 2, 3 or 4 to perform a grapple.
During a lockup, both Wrestler's skin tone
will begin to turn red based on how quickly
they mash buttons. The Wrestler to turn dark
red the first wins the lockup and is then able
to perform one of their grapple techniques.
When a Wrestler applies a submission hold
from the lockup position, the other Wrestler
can attempt to escape the submission hold by
mashing buttons as quickly as possible.
=============================
Lockup system (back grapple):
=============================
After a Wrestler has taken enough damage and
is thrown to the ground into a dizzy state,
it is possible to attempt a back grapple on
the Wrestler.
While the Wrestler is dizzy and laying on
the ground, pick up the Wrestler by pressing
Button 1 at their head or feet. After the
Wrestler has been picked up, approach the
Wrestler from behind to initiate a lockup
from behind.
================================
Ground Submission/Stomp attacks:
================================
When a Wrestler receives a considerable
amount of damage from grapples, punches or
kicks, the Wrestler will fall to the ground
displaying a dizzy animation.
While a Wrestler is dizzy, the Wrestler will
remain temporarily stunned for a couple of
seconds allowing their opponent to apply a
stomp or submission hold.
Button mashing is required to attempt to
escape from a submission hold and certain
stomp attacks.
======
Break:
======
When a pin attempt or submission hold is
applied near one of the four ring ropes,
the referee will call a "break" ordering
the Wrestler to break up the pin or
submission hold.
========
Give Up:
========
When a Wrestler submits to the opponent's
submission hold attempt; resulting in an
immediate loss.
=================
Three Count Fall:
=================
When a Wrestler is pinned in the match for
the duration of the referee's three-count.
=========
Ring Out:
=========
When a Wrestler or Tag Team remains outside
the ring for a total of 20 seconds. The
referee will call a "Ring Out" disqualifying
the Wrestler(s).
================
Double Ring Out:
================
When both Wrestlers or Tag Teams remain
outside the ring for a total of 20 seconds,
the referee will call a "Double Ring Out"
disqualifying both Wrestlers/Tag Teams.
=====
Draw:
=====
When both Wrestlers or Tag Teams receive a
"Time Up" with even stats, the referee will
call a "Draw".
=========
Decision:
=========
When the time limit of a match ends, the
referee will call a "Time Up" and then
judge both Wrestlers' performance during
the match.
The Wrestler or Tag Team that has performed
the most damage on an opponent will win
the match under a "Decision".
=============
Sudden Death:
=============
After a "Double Ring Out" or "Draw" has been
called, a new match will start as a "Sudden
Death" match.
During a "Sudden Death" match, a time limit
of 30 seconds is alotted where the first
Wrestler to fall to the ground loses the
match.
If the time limit reaches 0 during "Sudden
Death" the match will end as a "Draw Game"
resulting in a game over.
