Toshin Daibukai is a fighters' tournament held in the underworld every few
years. All types of weapons, except firearms [guns], are allowed making this
fight to the death the ultimate tournament! The organization that arranges the
tournament has selected all participants in advance. Rumor has it that this
organization was dissolved after the last tournament. The truth is not yet
known. The tournament is about to begin. Who is behind the scences? What evil
purpose do they have?

*Note: Each character is listed alphabetically by their first or beginning
names. Also on the modes part: "R" stands for a general move, "D" stands for
desperation move, and "Sc" stands for Scorcher Mode. Also since the movelist
might be confusing to some, if you see "+ AB" next to a "B,F,B" for example,
the "B" in "B,F,B" is just the Back button on the D-Pad.
