=======================
==SECTION 4: STRATEGY==
=======================

GENERAL STRATEGY
Delfin's many unique moves make him an interesting wrestler to use in
Fire Pro D. He is most effective coming off the top rope and from a
back and corner grapple.

The best Delfin strategy is to be diverse, attempting a wide variety
of holds to entertain the audience.

STRIKES
Super Delfin's punch and kick stats aren't too hot, I'd suggest using
grapples instead. The Standing (X) + (A) Upper Shouda is a Delfin
Specialty Move, and the Toe and Thrust Kicks should be used from a
distance. Other than that, you should stick with grappling.

GRAPPLES
Delfin has a great set of grapples, especially from a back grapple.
Get in the habit of knocking the opponent down, then picking them up
off the mat so they are standing dazed. Then walk behind them and
execute a back grapple.

The Delfin Special 1, Delfin Special 3, Misteriorana and Osaka Cutter
are four of the best "junior-style" back grapples in Fire Pro D.

From the corner, the Swinging DDT is great. Try to pull one of these
off, then climb the post and do the (X) + (A) Swinging DDT!

Try to avoid the (X) + Down Single Leg Tackle, which ends in a mount,
unless you're skilled at shoot-style ground manuevers. Otherwise you
will get countered a lot.

COMBOS
Note: These are not combos in the "fighting game" sense of the word,
as grapples can be countered and opponents can recover in between
moves. These combos are more akin to natural wrestling combinations
for this particular wrestler.

Also, unlike fighting games, Fire Pro D combos are easier to perform
when the opponent is worn down as his recovery time is longer.

  1) Tornado DDT -> Delfin Clutch
  2) Tornado DDT -> Shouda
  3) Skewer DDT -> Implant DDT
