, = Link. Doesn't directly cancel, you must properly time the next move.
(2B) = Optional move, you might skip it for one reason or another.
.. = Fill in the blank with whatever followup or starter is ideal.
f.D = The 'far' version of D.
c.D = The 'close' version of D.
j.D = The jumping version of D.
C/2C = C or 2C
AA = Anti-Air. Only works if this move hits against someone in the air.
======
Basics
======
A = Light Punch C = Heavy Punch
B = Light Kick D = Heavy Kick
2, 8 - Super Jump. Can also be done forward or backwards. Effect varies
between characters.
66 9 - Running Jump. Similar to Super Jump but moves very far forward.
A+D or B+D - Throw. The different inputs will actually give you different
throws for some characters. You can break throws by inputting
your own at the same time.
2+A+B - Universal Overhead. These must always be blocked high, and since they
leave the ground they may also dodge throws or lows as well.
4+A+B - Back Roll Jump. Your character will perform a completely invincible
backwards roll, and then short jump forward. Not invincible to throws
or High/Air hits but due to how it moves, it may frequently avoid
them anyway.
41236A+B - Super Command Grab. Completely invincible except for 1 frame of
recovery. If it connects, you will slide behind them and get a
free combo of choice. For some characters, it seems to amplify
damage. Uses 1 Super stock.
C+D - Taunt. Can hit, and builds a large amount of super meter if completed.
236B+C - Shadow Attack Launcher. Sends a shadow duplicate of yourself that
performs a short combo into a launcher. After launching, the COUNTER
will appear above your super bar, indicating how many free juggle
hits you have remaining off the launcher.
Completely invincible until you recover. Uses 1 Super stock.
214B+C - Shadow Attack Pressure. Sends a shadow duplicate of yourself that
performs a strong pressure string.
Completely invincible until you recover. Uses 1 Super stock.
Before hitting the ground:
4+A+B or 6+A+B - Instant Tech Roll. Input it right before you hit the ground.
Can be used to quickly escape OTG attacks or get into a
better position.
4, 6+A+B or 6, 4+A+B - Easier Instant Tech Roll. For some reason, inputting
the roll like this makes the timing easier.
While on the ground:
Hold 4 or 6 - Ground roll. Slow, but allows you to roll into a better
position.
While enemy is knocked down:
2+P/K or 8+P/K - Pursuit attack. Deals a small amount of damage to a knocked
down enemy. Be careful of instant tech rolls!
While guarding:
C+D - Guard Cancel burst. Knocks the enemy away from you, allowing you to
escape pressure. Completely invincible except for 1F vulnerable
recovery. Uses 1 Super Stock.
Hit Attributes and Invincibility Properties
-------------------------------------------
Every move in Martial Masters has a few sets of attributes associated with
them that determine how they can be blocked or evaded. Block properties are
as you would expect from any fighting game, but Hit Attributes require more
explanation.
Block Property:
High - Must be blocked standing.
Low - Must be blocked crouching.
Normal - Can be blocked either way.
Unblockable - Can't be blocked at all.
Hit Attribute:
Air - The move is in the air.
Head - The move hits at 'head' level.
Body - The move hits at 'body' level.
Foot - The move hits at 'foot' level.
Throw - The move is a throw.
In addition to every move having a 'Block Property', it also has one or more
'Hit Attributes' associated with it. The Hit Attribute is used in determining
when moves may be invincible to one another.
For example, if Player 1 does a throw but Player 2 is doing a move
that is 'Throw Invincible', Player 2 will be unharmed by the throw.
As a second example, Red Snake's 6A has the Normal block property and has the
Head attribute. Saojin's 623D has 'Head Invulnerability', so if these two
moves meet at the same time, Saojin's will pass through unharmed.
Super Armor:
Some moves have the additional property of having Super Armor. Moves with
this property won't be interupted if hit, but you will still take full
damage. Moves can also have partial Super Armor, such as Monk's 6C which has
High and Air only Super Armor.
Guard Point:
Similar to Super Armor, except you will take NO damage from moves that
attempt to interupt you. Saojin's 623D is an example of this. May simply be
a side effect of invincibility?
'Always Connect' Moves
----------------------
Certain moves can ALWAYS connect in a juggle, regardless of normal juggle
rules or number of remaining shadow hits. Some examples are:
Certain moves when they connect will give you the ability to get more hits in
a juggle, in effect 'resetting' the number of extra juggle hits you can get.
An obvious example is Lotus Master's 214B+C. If you juggle someone on this
move, you may get extra normal hits in where you would normally not be able
to, as is used in this combo:
.. 6C(1) 421A 214P 236P, c.C/2C 6C 214B+C, f.D, c.D, j.D
If done properly, you can get all 3 extra normal hits because the projectile
keeps resetting the juggle every time it hits.
There are many other moves with this property. Many 214B+C shadow moves have
it (maybe all?), and some other special moves have it:
During a 236B+C Shadow Juggle, the enemy will be in a special state where won't
ever air recovery, even if they normally should. Because of this, you can do
strange juggles you normally couldn't. Juggle hit rules still apply though, so
you can't simply juggle someone forever.
However, by utilizing 'Always Connect' and 'Juggle Reset' moves along with this
'Unrecoverable' status, you can create many advanced combos, and a few
infinites as well. This is why Crane can turn her 236B+C into an infinite:
Building on the two juggle tricks above, it's possible to glitch the number
of hits you can get in a Shadow Juggle by resetting with a 214B+C. For some
strange reason, the 214B+C can reset the number of hits multiple times, AND
it can reset the number of hits that can be done even if the 214B+C doesn't
hit. Because of this, some characters with long 214B+C specials can greatly
extend the length of their combos. See Saojin's 214B+C loop for a very
powerful example:
Normally while running you can't throw, and there is a long period of recovery
on your run where you also can't throw. You can reduce this time greatly by
holding BACK, then hitting throw.
Throw Glitch
------------
There is some way to ground throw people right as they are leaving the ground
which causes them to be thrown while they are in the air. Look into this later
to find out how/when/why.
'Quick' Cancel
--------------
All multi-hit normals can be canceled in such a way that you cancel exactly as
the next hit of the normal is to connect. The effect of this is that the next
hit of the normal still connects, but the move you canceled into comes out
instantly, instead of after hit-pause.
There are a few practical uses of this such as in comboing into Tiger's 214B+C:
2C 214B+C ...
Normally, this simply won't combo. Quick Canceled exactly right though, the
shadow attack will come out instantly and the combo will work. The timing seems
very strict, as canceling too early causes the second hit to not come out, and
too late gives you the cancel on the second hit. There may be a trick to
connecting it, but then it might just be a 1F link.
Delaunch
--------
In some specific character matchups, certain characters can cancel the launch
of a 236B+C shadow attack and force the enemy to stay on the ground. To do a
delaunch, you just need to hit the enemy right as the final hit of the shadow
attack is also hitting.
Normal Delaunch (Red Snake, Drunken Master, Master Huang, Monkey Boy):
These characters can delaunch when they are attacking FROM BEHIND. This can
happen from a super grab (41236A+B) or from a crossup, or other situations.
However, you can only delaunch some characters:
Can Be Delaunched:
Drunken Master
Red Snake
Ghost Kick
Monkey Boy
Master Huang
SaoJin
Can't Be Delaunched:
Reika
Tiger
Monk
Crane
Lotus Master
Special:
Scorpion seems to not leave the ground but the combo is dropped?
Special Case Delaunches:
Reika - Can't delaunch normally but doing a 236236K super during a shadow
attack will cause them to not launch.
Crane - Can't delaunch normally, but can delaunch Reika from either side.
Maybe others?
To select alternate colors, try selecting your character with any of the four
buttons, and any of these button combinations: A+B, A+C, A+D, B+D, C+D
Unlock Saojin
-------------
The easy way to unlock Saojin is to set the game clock ahead by a month. On
the PGM cart, you simply enter the bios and adjust the clock ahead.
If you are emulating with Final Burn Alpha, you will need to go into the bios,
then adjust your Windows system clock ahead a month.
After you do this, return into the game. On the character select screen, you
will see the slot for Saojin with the number 99 in it. Just insert 99 credits
on the character select screen and she will be unlocked.
Differences in the old version (v102/101/101)
---------------------------------------------
- Everything does WAY more damage. Somewhere in the ballpark of 1.5x times more
- Red Snake's 236B+C has a lot more recovery, so no delaunch.
- Monk can't cancel into his command grabs.
- Can't select Snake's default colors with A+B.
- Old version input is much less lenient.
- Reika's f.C doesn't cancel to 6C
- Lots more ...
Misc Notes
----------
All combos are for the new version 104/102/102, however most will still work in
the old version.
