2. Introduction

Guardian/Denjin Makai II is a standard beat-'em-up very similar to Final Fight.
Some major differences are as follows:

-       Introduction to the POW bar system.
-       A wide array of special attack.
-       Includes a super desperation attack.
-       More Characters

Also the word Denjin means "The God Of Electricity".
Makai is a character's name in its pre-sequel - directly translated as 'Devil's
Puppet'

3. Controls

The controls to Guardian are pretty standard to any other beat-'em-up game out
there. It's as follow:

Joystick: Moves the character

A: Attack. Pressing it several time allows your character to do a combo, the
last hit is always a knockdown.
The type of combo executed depends on the direction the player is holding.

Hold A: Block. This is a move that it's usually not present in beat-em up games.
By blocking, you can neglect damage done by certain attacks, and also have the
abilities to counterattack by pressing A.
Note that certain attacks such as grenades, drills, bullets, and flamethrowers
can't be blocks, so don't even try it.
Another reason to use block is to execute your characters specials by holding
A, then press a certain direction.
Eg. Left, right. Also, all specials executed by direction cost 2 bars of POW.

B: Jump. It's pretty self-explanatory. But different characters have different
jumps.
For example, Zeldia can hover in the air by holding B, and Girulian can slow
his descent by holding B.

C: Special. Your character uses their personal sidearm which would do moderate
amount of damage.
Eg. Zeldia would use her automatic pistol. This would consume 4 bars of POW.

A+B: Escape Attack. Your character will do a special attack that knocks down
all enemies around him/her.
This attack uses 2 bars of POW.

A+C: Super Desperation Attack. Your character will do a very flashy special
attack that knocks down all enemies.
This attack is very powerful and will do huge amount of damage.
However, it will use 4 bars of your life instead of POW, so don't use it too
many time.

POW System
The POW system is composed of 10 bars. Every time a special attack is used, an
amount of POW is deducted.
When your character is standing still for a few seconds, he/she will begin
charging the POW bar.
At first, the charging speed is slow, but after a few seconds it began to speed
up.
If there are insufficient POW or empty when specials is performed, 2 bars of
life are used to replenish the bar completely.
This is called "Over Charge".

4. Characters
There are a total of 8 characters to select. Each has its own set of special,
strength and weaknesses.
You will walk the path to victory if you control each character well.

Zeldia- The Heroine

Being the heroine of the game, she also happens to be my favorite in both
appearance and fighting technique.
She is a very balanced character in terms of speed, strength, and charging rate.

Combos

Standing A,A,A,A,A
Left jab, left hook, right thrust, left uppercut, finishes with a roundhouse
kick.

Hold Right, A,A,A,A,A

thrust.

Left jab, left hook, right thrust, roundhouse kick, finishes by spin-kicking on
the ground with one hand

Hold Down, A,A,A,A,A
Left jab, left hook, right thrust, finishes with twin thrust.

Specials

Hold B
Zeldia jumps into the air, she then hovers high above the ground with the help
of her wings.
This last for about 5 seconds before she falls to the ground.
If the B button is released during the hovering time, she will back flip in
midair, then glide forward towards the ground.
Note that you are vulnerable to attacks while gliding.
Press A during the gliding process allows her to extend one of her talons
forward, hitting enemies as she goes along.
This uses 1 bar of POW.

Press C
Zeldina pull out an automatic pistol and fires around 20 shots. She aims
forward, above her and below her.

his fighting technique is unmatched.
Combining great speed and superb technique, Jinrei can get through a crowd of
enemies virtually untouched.

It's a great move to get out of corners when trapped, and can also be used to
stage a counterattack.

Press C

Jinrei does the same cyclone spin as Zeldia. The only differences is his is
must faster and doesn't rise up in the air.

Specials

get you out of a corner and fight back.

Kurokishi- The Biker Gal

If you think Zeldia is cute looking, wait till you see Kurokishi.
This hot-looking Gal is got a load of pain to deliver to an enemy that's on the
receiving end.
Do not judge her by her appearance, her fighting style is deadly and they hurt!
She has slightly more power and speed than Zeldia. When she is on the field,
everybody is going to get a load of pain.

Skullbyule- The Devil

If I were to judge him by first impression, I would say he is the closest thing
resembling Death.
This power-packing alien will make the enemy freak just by looking,
and his array of lethal attacks will wipe them out of existence.

A+C

Tulks- The Powerhouse

Now we're talking muscle man here, Final Fight style.
However, Tulks is way more powerful than Haggar with his array of powerful
moves.
When he's on the field, there are going to be lots of broken necks, and bodies
crushed to bits.
Combos

short-ranged shotgun blast.

Forward, down, forward, A
Tulks does the same move above, except it a lighting ball.
If your timing is good, you can use one of the move and pull out the other one
to do some nice damage.

Hold A, press down to up
Tulks does a somersault forward in midair.
If an enemy is caught by this move, he catches the enemy with his legs flips
into the air and land on the enemy.
Very powerful attack, useful to take down bosses quickly.

Tulks raises both of his hand and wave them in a circle, creating two energy
slashes that knock down enemies around him.

A+C
Tulks lights up one of his fist, then he jumps up and strike the ground,
causing a shockwave that covers the entire screen.

P.Belva- The Ultra Machine

Normally, powerful characters trade their power at the expenses of speed.
However, this is not the case for P.Belva.
This powerful, yet agile ultra fighting machine can almost be considered to be
the perfect character.
He can combine with anyone and turn it into a kick-ass team.
