and taglines.
About the victory poses: After a round, during the Replay, the
player can hold one of the four buttons to choose the character's
victory pose after the Replay. In an one-player game, the player
can hold one of the buttons on the other player's side to choose
the CPU character's victory pose. The players can tap the Start
buttons to skip the Replay and victory pose. VF3 doesn't seem to
have the slow-motion Replay option (hold G+P+K) from VF2.
Umenokouji AOI
(Umenokouji is pronounced as "oo-meh-nor-kor-jee". Aoi is
pronounced as "ah-oy", not "ay-oh-yee". Umenokouji means "small
road of apricot/plum", and aoi means "hollyhock".
Thanks to J.C. Kelly, Johnny Hom, and Takeuchi Shouichi, who
live in Japan.)

jet fighter being developed by Dassault; it's comparable to the
Eurofighter 2000, Gripen, and Super Flanker. For more info, go to
rec.aviation.military. Lion's name on his shirt is misspelled as
