**************
* 2.1 Basics *
**************
Throw b/f + HP/HK close button required depends on the
character; f and b determine
where opponent is thrown;
some characters may have
only one throw
Block High b will not block attacks listed
as "low"
Block Low db will not block attacks listed
as "overhead"
Dash f, f can attack out of dash
Halt b can also halt dash by jumping
Backdash b, b has a few invulnerability
frames
Taunt HP+HK taunts cannot be canceled so
you're defenseless until
the animation ends
Dizzy Recovery shake joystick and tap
P and K rapidly
after being dizzied
Desperation refer to character's requires lifebar to be low
movelist for motion and flashing
**************
* 2.2 Throws *
**************
Normal throws in this game cannot be teched so you take full damage from
them. Kim-Maree has a mashable throw where both you and your opponent must
mash directions (up, down, left or/and right) and buttons. The one doing the
throw must do so to extend the duration of the maneuver and the opponent to
reduce the duration of the maneuver.
***************
* 2.3 Dashing *
***************
While performing a dash, you can cancel its animation by pressing any attack
button or by pressing any direction except d/df (unless it's a crouching attack)
or f. Dashes are very powerful due to the fact that you can cancel them into
throws, and since throws themselves are untechable, it leads to quite a lot of
damage if the enemy is playing too defensively. Backdashes, on the other hand,
cannot be canceled but they have a certain amount of invulnerability frames.
After the invulnerability frames end, you can block immediately so that means
there's no recovery frames to perform an action after a backdash (except for
Kim-Maree).
The following list has the characters' dashes in descending order from
longest duration to shortest:
Mysterious Lion
Thorsten / Kim-Maree
Lau
Jackie Chan (Five Animal Fist)
Sam
Yeung
Jackie Chan (Baguazhang)
Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist)
This list has the characters' backdashes in descending order from longest
duration to shortest:
Kim-Maree
Thorsten / Mysterious Lion
Lau / Jackie Chan (Five Animal Fist)
Yeung / Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist)
Sam
Jackie Chan (Baguazhang)
*Writer's Note*
The dashes and backdashes' duration were visually tested so they may not be
100% perfect.
*************
* 2.4 Dizzy *
*************
A quite uncommon occurrence in this game is the dizzy state that happens when
you deal big amounts of damage (multiple hits don't speed up the process, just
raw damage in any form, except for throws) without giving the opponent time to
recover their (invisible) dizzy meter. The (invisible) dizzy meter will
rapidly recover every second you are not being damaged and are in a neutral
state. This means that being in a knockdown or juggle state, even if you are
not being attacked during them, the dizzy meter won't recover. Blocked attacks
also don't stop the dizzy meter from recovering. Some characters can do
instant stun combos (example: Mysterious Lion can perform a mini lion bomb into
a HP Psycho Lion Crusher which will stun most, if not all, characters). A full
dizzy meter in a single combo will roughly require "45%" of damage to fill
completely. Not counting the "single combo" example above, a full dizzy meter
would usually require for you to deal around "55%" of the opponent's life bar
in a very short amount of time to fill completely. This 55% is "always" the
same amount you need to do, not counting how much of the dizzy meter the
opponent has left. Thus the opponent's remaining life won't change said
amount.
The last thing of note is that some characters are more resilient to being
dizzied than others. Below is a list of descending order from "hardest to
dizzy" to "easiest":
Hardest to dizzy = Mysterious Lion
Regular to dizzy = Thorsten
Easiest to dizzy = Lau, Yeung, all 3 Jackie Chan versions, Sam, Kim-Maree
*Writer's Note*
Do note that the "55%" amount was calculated mainly with Thorsten using
fast-recovering Special Moves and then a couple of rapid-fire attacks (using
rapid-fire attacks only while keeping the time the opponent is not being dealt
damage to the bare minimum works too) and not giving time for the training
dummy to breath, since every millisecond the opponent is not being dealt
damage, the more damage you'll need to do to completely fill their dizzy meter.
That's why the "full dizzy combo" example and the one below of "55%" has only
a mere "10%" difference since those mere milliseconds the opponent had to
recover his dizzy meter would translate into roughly "10%" more damage you'll
need to do to fill it completely.
*********************
* 2.5 Chain Strings *
*********************
This game offers 2 variations of chainable strings, all of which requires a
succession of buttons presses in a certain order. The first one is the
chainable string that follows a specific order when it comes to what following
attacks you can cancel into. The current attack of a chainable string must
connect in order for the next attack to happen. This can also be done while
jumping. The order is = Light attacks --> Heavy attacks (LP/LK --> HP/HK).
Note that you CAN chain light attacks more than once if switching from
standing light attacks into crouching light attacks or in reverse. You can
also use the same stance if you chain into different strength light attacks,
but only between rapid-fire attacks. An example of this is with Lau using
d + LP -> d + LK -> d + LP, etc or d + LK -> d + LP -> d + LK, etc.
If doing air chain combos on a jumping opponent, unlike the flowchart
described in here, the hitstun from light attacks are not enough to do
LP -> LK -> strong attack / LK -> LK -> strong attack. It works only with one
light attack to a strong attack (you can chain the first strong into the other,
of course, it just doesn't work between light attacks).
There's a second string variation (sort of) which is called the link string.
This means that during a chainable string or after a normal or special attack,
you can attack the enemy again while he's recovering and it will count as a
combo. A link string can also be used to reset the "only one attack of the
same strength (unless it's a rapid-fire attack) per string" rule. A good
example of a link string would be Lau since he cannot chain a Crouching LK into
a Crouching/Standing LK normally. However, if you wait a moment after hitting
with the first Crouching LK and then do another instead of mashing the button
to do a chain, he will actually combo into it. Hence why it's called a link
string.
*******************
* 2.6 Counter Hit *
*******************
A Counter Hit occurs if a Normal or Special Attack connects with the opponent
just as they are going to attack or during the attack's recovery frames
(regardless if it trades or not). A Counter Hit will allow your attack to deal
extra damage. This depends on what part of the opponents' attack animation you
dealt the damage.
An example of this would be with Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist) using his HP
"Jug Throw". Just as it's about to land, if the enemy does an attack, the HP
"Jug Throw" can do up to 45% of damage depending on what part of the opponent's
attack animation this happened. Command Grabs do not benefit from this. In
Kim-Maree's case, however, she will suffer the extra damage if she's attacked
while using "Running Lariat Drop."
********************
* 2.7 Total Health *
********************
It appears that the characters in this game have different health totals.
This is seen when the same combo is performed on every character and the
resulting damage is compared. Below is a list of the total health comparisons
between all characters:
Highest Total Health = Mysterious Lion
Normal Total Health = Jackie Chan (all 3 versions) and Kim-Maree
Lowest Total Health = Lau, Yeung, Thorsten, and Sam
**************************
* 2.8 Jackie Chan Fights *
**************************
Every time you defeat 2 of the 6 playable characters, one of the 3 Jackie
Chans will be available to fight. Five Animal Fist Jackie Chan (Level 1) will
be available after the 2nd opponent is defeated. You can fight Drunken Fist
Jackie Chan (Level 2) after the 4th opponent is defeated. Finally, when all 6
opponents are defeated you can fight Baguazhang JackieChan (Level 3).
Defeating one of the 3 Jackie Chan does not count towards the "need to defeat 2
opponents to unlock the next Jackie Chan battle." This only counts the
playable characters that you've defeated. Even though you can choose to fight
the Jackie Chan characters right away, it is not necessary and you can save
them for later if you want. The Jackie Chan characters do more damage than
playable characters so they may kick your butt and make you lose a coin, or
more!
After defeating any of the 3 Jackies, during the next fight, every time your
character performs one of their special moves or desperation your character
will have some additional sfx while performing special moves. These extra
effects that appear on your character last until the special move's animation
ends. The following are the effects:
Five Animal Fist Jackie Chan = The five animal elements will circle around your
character
Drunken Fist Jackie Chan = When your special attack damages the enemy (not
blocked) a broken jug appears on the enemy
Baguazhang Jackie Chan = A flaming dragon head will appear where your
character is and when your special move damages
the enemy (not blocked) they will covered with
flames (the only possible way to see this effect
is to keep either Drunken Fist Jackie Chan or
Five Animal Fist Jackie Chan alive before
defeating Baguazhang Jackie Chan, otherwise the
game ends after he's defeated)
Also, if you finish the enemy with a special move, a still-image of the
Jackie whose's powers you are using, will appear on the background for a few
frames (this won't happen if using Kim-Maree's Double Frankensteiner or Ultra
Frankensteiner). The added effects only last until you defeat another Jackie
Chan (and your current sfx will be replaced by the now defeated Jackie Chan
you've fought) or if you lose a match (including a battle between human
players). As nice as this may all look, from what I've tested, these effects
don't actually provide any bonus at all... they are just for show (not 100%
confirmed).

4. Special KO Animations
===============================================================================
After dealing the finishing blow in the last round, the defeated opponent
will be subject to a special KO animation. You need to defeat the opponent and
wait for the "Finish" prompt, then the next attack or throw (can be during a
single attack, a combo, or a chain string, including link strings) is what the
game will register when checking the possible finishers. A "Finish" prompt
will not happen if you win via timeout. If you don't attack the opponent,
after 5 seconds pass by, they will fall down to the ground automatically
leaving a pool of blood where they fall.
A light blow attack (LP/LK) that KOs the opponent usually does some sort of
finish that leaves the opponent in a pool of blood and with a possible "hazard"
happening to them. A heavy blow attack (HP/HK) that KOs the opponent will
usually have a more elaborate finishing animation. Normal or command throws
can also be used to activate a special finisher (This usually leads to the
"pinball" finisher animation). Finally, a taunt maneuver will usually lead to
a humiliation. Note that a light blow attack performed from a combo will
usually lead to a heavy finisher.
All characters except Jackie Chan (Baguazhang) have an unique finisher
animation that requires a specific move as the finishing blow to perform it.
All 3 versions of Jackie Chan are immune to any kind of special finishers.
Instead, they just pop back up like nothing happened and compliment you by
saying either "Good Fight" or "You're Getting Better." Except for all 3
versions of Jackie Chan (who can still trigger the lightning bolt striking
and the opponent exploding, funnily enough) the remaining characters will
always make the defeated character leave a pool of blood. No version of
Jackie Chan can make blood appear in any finisher whatsoever. Below is a
list of the finishers:
Light Blow Finishers (LP/LK)
----------------------------
*The opponent falls to the floor and blood starts squirting of their body from
different holes
*The opponent falls to the floor and blood starts gushing out of their body,
Tarantino-style
*The opponent falls to the floor and a bunch of crows fly around their body
(quite hilarious against Yeung)
*The opponent falls to the floor and water from the sky splash onto their face
*The opponent falls to the floor and some object falls from the sky and crashes
into their face
*The opponent falls to the floor and a lightning bolt strikes them, causing a
fiery explosion
*The opponent falls to the floor and a bit of blood spurts from their mouth
(or it may be from a head wound caused by crashing into the floor)
Heavy Blow Finishers (HP/HK)
----------------------------
*The opponent is launched against the wall and starts ricocheting around,
pinball-style, while finally landing on the floor
*The opponent is launched into the air and then falls all the way down the
bottom of the screen, disappearing
*The opponent is launched into the air and then crashes through the floor (when
performed against Mysterious Lion he will be launched into the air, and while
falling down, he separates into 5 mini-lions and they all crash through the
floor)
*The opponent is sent flying directly to the screen, leaving a small crack
where they crashed (the crack's size has 2 variations)
*The opponent falls to the floor while leaving a pool of blood (this is
probably the most generic finisher, truth be told)
*The opponent falls to the floor, a drum barrel from the sky crashes into them
and later a lightning bolt strikes him causing an explosion of their body
*The opponent falls to the floor, a drum barrel from the sky crashes into them
causing an explosion of their body
*The opponent falls to the floor, blood starts gushing out of their body
Tarantino-Style and a bunch of crows start flying around their body

dragon logo, japanese/chinese text, or yin/yang symbol appearing
*The opponent falls to the floor (with their color changed to black and white)
and 1 or 5 swords fall from the sky with a japanese/chinese, dragon logo,
japanese/chinese text, or yin/yang symbol appearing
*The opponent falls to the floor (with their color changed to black and white)
and a giant rock from heaven crashes into the opponent with a
japanese/chinese, dragon logo, japanese/chinese text, or yin/yang symbol
appearing
*The opponent is launched a few meters away (with their color changed to black
and white) and a japanese/chinese, dragon logo, japanese/chinese text, or
yin/yang symbol appearing (the blood splash has 3 variations)

*if your opponent is Thorsten he can turn into a chained up alligator
*if your opponent is Kim-Maree she can turn into a caged cat
*if your opponent is Mysterious Lion he can turn into a miniature Mysterious
Lion

jump around

and white) and their body cut in half with a japanese/chinese, dragon logo,
japanese/chinese text, or yin/yang symbol appearing. Below are how certain
characters can trigger this:

*The opponent falls to the floor and a heart image appears with a rose being
shot into it (it even works against Kim-Maree herself). Below is how
Kim-Maree can trigger this:
Kim-Maree = I Want You (d, u + P / Charge d, u + P)

into them (some of them will end up being stuck in the floor). Below is how

into them. Below is how Jackie Chan (Drunken Fist) can trigger this:
