INTRODUCTION

This is a special moves list for the game, Golden Axe: The Duel, on the arcade.
The moves should, however, work on the Sega Saturn version as well. Other than
the super move for the character Golden Axe, this guide is complete. He actually
may not even have a super move since he's not meant to be playable. If you have
any questions, comments, or would like to contribute to the FAQ, just email me
or post on the board. You will be credited for any contributions you make.

BASIC CONTROLS

U = Up        U/B = Up/Back Diagonal        WP = Weak Punch     MK = Medium Kick
D = Down      U/F = Up/Forward Diagonal     MP = Medium Punch   SK = Strong Kick
B = Back      D/B = Down/Back Diagonal      SP = Strong Punch   P = Any Punch
F = Forward   D/F = Down/Forward Diagonal   WK = Weak Kick      K = Any Kick

360 rotation = rotate joystick 360 degrees in any direction
charge = hold button about 2 secs.
+ = press buttons simultaneously
or = move can be done either way

For the most part, special moves and super moves can be done with any Punch or
Kick. The difference would be in the power and speed of the move. Special and
super moves performed with a weak attack tend to be less powerful and slower
than ones performed with a strong attack.

Super moves can only be done when you have powered up. To power up you must
first collect 5 magic bottles, which are dropped by the blue elves when you
hit them. Once you have 5 magic bottles, press all three Punch or Kick buttons
simultaneously, it's the same with either combination. Your magic meter will
now say "Magic Power" and you'll see a bar begin to decrease. The powerup will
last for about 10 seconds. From here until your magic power wears off, you'll
be able to do super moves and your attacks will do more damage.

Grab moves are done by standing right next to the opponent and pressing either
F or B with usually a strong attack. Most of the characters have two grab moves
using the SP and SK buttons.
