U = up (walks to background)
D = down (walks to foreground)
F = forward
B = Back
F,F = dash forward
B,B = dash back (In Blodia's case, "float" back =D)

A1 = attack 1
A2 = attack 2
J = jump
G = guard



IV. WHY USE BLODIA?
-I'll put the disadvantages first then the advantages. These are based on facts and
my personal opinions

DISADVANTAGES:
-Blodia has only a few moves compared to the other robots.
-Blodia has only 3 long range projectile that goes full screen. (All 3 are item based
attacks which has a limited number of use.)

ADVANTAGES:
-Although Blodia has only a limited number of moves, all of them are highly usable. In other
words, Blodia has no crappy moves.
-Most of Blodia's moves does heavy and mono damage (red, non-repairable damage)
-The 3 item based attacks of Blodia are highly effective. (I'll explain why in the
Moves section)
-Blodia's attack can quickly diminish your opponents armor (even when they are blocking)
-Blodia's Final Attack is fast and can be used to "catch" an opponent in the air.
(i.e.when your opponent is descending from a jump)



V.BASIC/SPECIAL MOVES, COMMAND, DESCRIPTION, TIPS & RATINGS
-My ratings are 1% being the lowest and 100% being the highest.
-Decrease in Armor Gauge depends on the character. Some robots have
strong armor (i.e. Wiseduck), Some are average (i.e. Kikaioh), some have weak armor
(i.e. Diana 17). The Armor gauge decrease I refer to in this section is based on the averge.
-Take note that Blodia is like an alternate version of Kikaioh. Some of their moves are similar.
-Before continuing, it is best if you first read the Tech romancer basic faq and movelist
made by Jeff "CJayC" Veasey so you'll get the hang of the basics. I also used some the terms
he used in his faq.


OIUSA (Chase & Kill)
Command = A1+J or A2+J
Description = Blodia jumps on a downed opponent and hits him/her 3
             times.
Tips = Immediately do this move when your opponent is about to crash to
      the ground, so you'll have a higher chance of hitting him/her.
    = This move does mono damage and decreases the armor of your
      opponent by 6%
    = Although this move does only minimal damage, its a nice follow-
      up.
Rating = 80%

VULCAN
Command = A1 or A1,A1
Description = Blodia kneels and fires 3 Vulcan shots in succession. If
             A1 is pressed 2 times, Blodia will shoot 6 Vulcan shots
             in succession.
Tips = This moves is best used in mid range due to its limited reach.
    = Vulcan automatically follows your opponent. So if your within
      range, you can hit an opponent while he/she is side stepping or
      performing a dodge attack.
    = This is Blodia's fastest but weakest move (it causes small and
      repairable damage) and should only be used to interupt your
      opponent out of a move he/she is doing.
Rating = 75%

TAI-KARA VULCAN (Ground to Air Vulcan)
Command = B+A1 or B+A1,A1
Description = Blodia points his arm at the sky (45 degrees angle) and
             shoots 3 rounds of Vulcan in the air. Blodia shoots 6
             rounds if A1 is pressed twice.
Tips = This is Blodia's fastest anti-air move. But you shouldn't rely
      on this move for damage because it is pretty weak.
    = Good to use on those people who like to jump at you.
Ratings = 70%

BLODIA UPPER
Command = F+A1
Description = Blodia puts one foot forward and gives the opponent an
             uppercut tha sends them high up in the air.
Tips = Slow start up. So use this if your sure the opponent is open.
    = Does decent damage and opens up tons of combos ability since
      it floats your opponent very high.
    = You should also note the recovery of this move is very slow
      and in the event your opponent blocks this move, be prepared
      to take a beating.
    = After Blodia Upper connects, immediately follow up with Full
      Metal Charge to juggle them in the air.
Rating = 80%

IRON NAIL
Command = B, F+A1
Description = Blodia extracts his Wolverine claws then pokes the enemy
             with it, leaving them stunned.
Tips = Slow start up, fast recovery.
    = People tend to under estimate this move. Iron nail has a very
      good reach (not too long but long enough) and upon impact, opens
      up a dozen of combo opportunities. (Planet smasher anyone? :P)
    = This move stuns the opponent for a short time, so your reaction
      should be FAST.
    = No decrease in Armor Gauge.
Rating = 75%


BLODIA PUNCH
Command = Near opponent, A1,A1,A1
Description = Blodia gives the enemy the ol' 1-2-3 punch.
Tips = Decent speed and damage, and it only cause mono damage.
    = When all 3 punches connect (blocked or not blocked), you'll
      be able to chip off 11% from your opponent's armour gauge.
    = After the 3rd punch, follow it up with a Ouisa for added
      damage.
    = This move looks exectly like Kikiaoh's "Kikaioh punch".
Rating = 85%

GATLING ROD
Command = while dashing, A2
Description = Blodia dashes then extracting his Wolverine-like claws,
             punches the enemy for a 6 hit combo then sending them
             flying across the screen.
Tips = Overall, this is Blodia's best move.
    = Good damage (causes mono damage only) to the enemy's damage bar
      and armor gauge.
    = This move combos for 6 hits, decreasing 11% of your opponent's
      armor even when they block this move.
    = Even when blocked, opponent suffers tick damage not only to
      their damage bar, but their armor gauge as well.
    = Fast start up and fast recovery.
    = Puts a good distance between you and your opponent, so you don't
      have to fear any retaliation when they block this move.
      Nonetheless, If you think your opponent is going to retaliate,
      let him/her eat some Vulcan. =D
Rating = 100%

GIGA CRUSH
Command = A2
Description = Jin Saotome shouts "Dynamite!" then a small explosion
             surrounds Blodia's body, knocking down anyone whose near
             him.
Tips = This move comes out instantly and does decent damage.
    = Any opponent hit by the Giga Crush immediately falls to the
      floor. You can follow up this move by getting near the downed
      opponent and doing another Giga Crush. (This move is able to hit
      all grounded opponent)
    = The downside of this move is that it should be executed at VERY
      close range, but as I've said, Blodia should be used as a
      brawler.
    = DO NOT use this move as an anti-air.
Rating = 83%

MID-AIR GIGA CRUSH
Command = In mid-air, A2
Description = Jin Saotome shouts "Dyanamite!" then a huge rainbow
             colored explosion (A perfect 360 degrees I might add)
             surrounds Blodia's body.
Tips = Mid-Air Giga Crush can hit for multiple times, depending on the
      proximity of the enemy.
    = This move is one of Blodia's trickier moves. You can use this in
      order to attain air superiority, as long as you perform it at
      the right time.
    = Slow start-up and slow recovery prevents this move from being
      the most powerful anti-air move in the game.
    = The trick to this move is to anticipate when your opponent is
      going to jump.
    = Since this move has a 360 degrees explosion radius, it means you
      can hit the enemy anywhere (above, under you etc.) as long as he
      is within the blast radius. You can confuse your opponent by
      jumping alot(think cross overs and jump-ins) then Giga Crush
      them to death.
    = The nearer your opponent is to you, the more hits  this move
      does.
    = You can also use this move to distance yourself away from the
      enemy. While on the groud, press B,B, then while backing up
      (note that Blodia's feet is NOT touching the ground) press A2.
      What happens is that Blodia performs the mid air Giga Crush
      while he is backing up. Cool eh? (at least I thought so)
Rating = 85%

BLODIA KICK
Command = In mid-air, A1
Description = Blodia pauses in mid-air then dashes diagonally down with
             a flying kick.
Tips = decent start-up but if the enemy is able to block it, your dead.
    = Automatically homes on the opponent. But if it misses, long
      recovery.
    = When executed, very fast and causes good damge (mono damage
      only) The damage this move inflicts is worth risking its slow
      recovery.
    = Decreases 10% of your enemy's Armor gauge even when blocked.
    = Looks exactly the same as Kikaioh's "Kikaioh kick".
Rating = 80%

FULL METAL CHARGE
Command = A1+A2
Description = Blodia charges the enemy vertically forcing them upwards.
Tips = This move can be used on the ground or as an anti-air attack.
    = You can pull out a miximum of 6 hits from this move. Decreases
      11% of your opponent's Armour if it is not blocked and 4% if it
      is blocked.
    = Highly damaging move (also causes mono damage only). Good
      juggling move.
    = decent startup but slow recovery since you'll be coming down
      from the air.
    = Must be done at close range.
Rating = 85%

PLANET SMASHER
Command = B,F+A1+A2 (requires at least 1 super bar)
Description = Blodia punches the enemy 4 times then performs the Full
             Metal Charge.
Tips = Highly damaging move, causes only mono damage, decreases 13% if
      not blocked and 9% if blocked. Blodia's best super move.
    = Always remember once executed, this move instantly comes out.
    = If you were able to block your opponent's 1-2-3 punch,
      immediately use Planet Smasher, it will connect 100%!
    = In summary, use this move only after blocking an opponent's
      attack (as long as your close enough that is).
Rating = 95%

MUTORIKKUSUPORU CANNON
Command = F,B+A1+A2 (requires at least one super bar)
Description = Blodia plants his fist to the ground then a wave of
             energy shoots from it.
Tips = Long range projectile attack that hits 5 to 9 times
      depending on your distance from the enemy.
    = Decent start up but not as fast as Planet Smasher
    = Good damage but half of it is yellow damage (repairable damage).
    = Safe to use because it pushes your opponent to the opposite edge
      of the screen even when blocked.
Rating = 80%

ITEM ATTACK: Yellow - B. BOMB
Command = Slect the big missile icon then press A1+A2+J
Description = Blodia throws a BIG atomic bomb at the enemy causing a
             big explosion.
Tips = Bomb can travel to the edge of the screen.
    = Good damage but half of it is yellow damage. So if the bomb
      connects, immediately follw it up with Ouisa or any other move
      as long as you capitalize on the damage (remember yellow damage
      heals over time, so attack!).
    = Never use this at close range due to its slow start up.
    = This item attack can be used only once before it is depleted.
Ratings = 75%

ITEM ATTACK: Blue - SUPER 8 BOMB
Command = Select the round-shaped bomb icon then A1+A2+J
Description = Blodia picks up a bomb a throws at the enemy. Upon
             contact, the bomb ricochets off the enemy then explodes.
Tips = Can be used at close range or long range. But preferably should
      be used at close range since at close range, it hits 3 times
      instead of the normal 2 times.
    = Start up is fast enough to use at close range and safe to use
      even when blocked since the bomb will explode a few seconds
      AFTER it hits your blocking opponent therefore giving you enough
      time to dish out another attack.
    = Decreases the armor gauge by 2% if it hits 2 times, and 8% if it
      hits 3 times.
    = This item attack can be used 3 times before it is depleted.
Rating = 85%

ITEM ATTACK: Red - B. BEAM
Command = Select the gun icon then press A1+A2+J
Description = Blodia backs up a little as a connon appears on his
             shoulder, then while Jin Saotome shouts "BEEEEAAAMMM!!",
             a stream of plasma energy fires from the cannon.
Tips = Decent start up and decent damage.
    = Best used at mid or long range. The beam travels to the edge of
      the screen.
    = DO NOT use at close range since the start up and recovery can
      leave you open for an attack.
    = Beam hits 3 to 5 times depending on the distance between you
      and your opponent.
    = This item attack can be used 3 times before it is depleted.
    = This is the weakest beam-type projectile in the game, but since
      this is Blodia's only beam type projectile, I'm giving this a
      high score.
Rating = 95%

DODGE ATTACK
Command = A1+G or A2+G
Description = A1 version - Blodia side steps then performs a shoulder
                          ram that sends the opponent FAR across the
                          screen.
           = A2 version - Blodia sides steps then performs the gatling
                          rod.
Tips = Not much to talk about. Just anticipate the move of your
      opponent, if your think their going for a projectile based
      attack, Dodge Attack!!
    = A1 version hits only once and causes more damage than the A2
      version but has a shorter range. Decreases 12% on opponent's
      armor gauge even when blocked.
    = A2 version has same range and causes damage similar to the
      dashing gatling rod. It is safer to use the A2 version.
    = Both version has fast start up.
Rating = 90 %

FINAL ATTACK
Command: When available press A1+A2+J+G
Description = Blodia extracts his claws, sticks it to the enemy. He
             then holds the enemy above his head, shoots a few rounds
             of Vulcan into his/her body, throws him/her in the air,
             jumps and rams him/her in mid air.
Tips = Blodia's final attack is fast and has good range.
    = You can use this to "catch" your opponent while he/she is
      descending from a jump or crashing to the ground. (i.e. If
      Blodia upper connects, until he/she is falling perform the final
      attack. The best time is if he/she is a inches above Blodia's
      head.)
Rating = As far as Final attacks go, 100%

OVERALL STRATEGY:
-Always remember that Blodia is a brawler and is best used in close range.
-Always be on the offensive when using Blodia.
-It is good to mix up his moves, dodge attack occassionally.
-Be familiar with the range of all of Blodia's attack to be more effective.
-If given the chance use the Gatling Rod. It causes good damage to the life bar
and armor gauge even when blocked.
-If you find an opening, perform the Planet Smasher for mega damage.
