Here's a quick key for directions, buttons, and FAQ terminology:
ub u uf Jump Backward Jump Up Jump Forward
\ | /
b -- -- f Retreat/Block Neutral Approach
/ | \
db d df Defensive Crouch Crouch Offensive Crouch
Reverse the left and right directions when on the right side of the
screen or if you are the second player.

You can rearrange these buttons in Option Menu. Note that the X, Y, L,
and R buttons have no effect unless you turn on the "Special" option.
These shorthand directions are used in the FAQ to save space, but
what's written above is what you are actually required to input.
Other Terminology:
Reversed - When you've been attacked and are about to hit the floor.
Down - When your foe has been reversed and is lying on the floor.
(air) - The move listed can be used on the ground or in the air.
?~? - Anything listed can be used (and anything between that, for
example, A~C does not list B, but that will work. Z is not
grouped with the rest of them and will not work.
Basic Abilities:
Guard (Block) Hold b to defend against a high attack.
Low Guard (Low Block) Hold db to defend against a low attack.
Crawl Forward Hold df.
Dash Tap f,f.
Backstep Tap b,b.
Small Jump Tap ub / u / uf.
Large Jump Press ub / u / uf.
Change Direction Jump, press Z in mid-air.
Throw When close to an opponent, f + C.
Down Kaihi (D. Evade) When reversed, b,db,d + Z (requires H.Power)
Kaifuku (Recovery) When dizzied, tap A~D and shake the joystick.
Line Surashi Kougeki When close, press A,B,(f + C) rapidly to knock
(Line Switch Attack) your opponent to the opposite line of play.
=========================================================================
2. CHARACTER MOVE LIST
=========================================================================
Commands are listed in this order: Special Moves, Command Attacks,
Throws (if there is a follow up or if I have the official name), Pursuit
and / or Recovery (if any), S. Power (Chou Hissatsu Waza) moves, and
P. Power (Senzai Nouryoku) moves. Moves listed in lowercase and in
parenthesis are unoffical and made up by me.
The (Breakshot) notice appears next to a move that can be used as a
Breakshot. The (Dual Line) notice appears when a move hits in both
lines of play. While everyone can use a Breakshot, not everyone has
a dual line attack.

HOW TO PLAY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC GAMEPLAY
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You and your opponent fight on a 2-D field. You can use punches,
kicks, powerful attacks, and special moves to inflict damage, etc.
These attacks may change depending on the distance between you and
your opponent. If one person inflicts enough damage on the other,
they collapse and that person is declared the winner of the round.
Win two rounds and you go onto the next battle. However, it's
possible for players to tie if they both collapse at the same time
or if the round timer reaches zero and both players have the same
amount of life left. In that case, a bonus round is played to
determine the winner. Note that when your life is reduced
sufficiently, the Life Bar changes color and indicates that you are
half defeated. If you continue to get damaged, it will flash when
it is very low indicating that you will get knocked out if you don't
do something about it.
THE POWER GAUGE (H.POWER)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The attacks listed above can be done at anytime. There are also
very powerful techniques you can only use when a certain amount of
Power energy has been built up in the Power Gauge. To build up
power, perform a special move or damage your opponent with any sort
of attack. Not all special moves build up power, and command attacks,
throws, and pursuits and recoveries will not build up power meter.
When the Power Gauge is filled halfway, the message "H.Power" appears.
At this point, you can now use two special abilities. The first is
called the Breakshot. Every character has a certain special move that
doubles as a Breakshot. Simply block an incoming attack and quickly
perform that special move, and you will do that attack while being
trailed by afterimages. Since a Breakshot is done from a block, it's
a great way to punish overly-offensive opponents while defending
yourself. However, once you've performed a Breakshot, you lose
exactly half of the entire Power Gauge.
The second ability is the Down Kaihi (Down Evade). When you're
knocked down (reversed), you can press b,db,d + Z and you'll roll
into the opposite line of play. This is useful if you want to
avoid getting hit by a pursuit attack or don't want to get trapped
in a corner, etc. It also drains half of the Power Gauge, though.
THE POWER GAUGE (S.POWER)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you continue to build up Power energy until the Power Gauge is
full, you'll get the message "S.Power". You can now use the
Breakshot (described above), or your S.Power move (aka the Chou
Hissatsu Waza or Super Deadly Attack). S.Power moves usually do
a great deal of damage and are more useful than normal moves.
However, once you perform an S.Power move, your Power Gauge empties
completely. Even if you don't perform an S.Power move, your Power
Gauge will begin to deplete slowly, so unless you do use it (or a
Breakshot), the built-up energy will be wasted. Note that if your
life is extremely low (your Life Gauge is flashing), you can use
S.Power moves repeatedly with no loss in Power Gauge energy, or even
if you have no Power energy stored up.
THE POWER GAUGE (P.POWER)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The final level of power, "P.Power", is only obtained by having
already gotten the S.Power message. If your Life Gauge is very
low when you get this message (or at any time after you get it),
you'll get to use your P.Power move (also called the Senzai Nouryoku
or Unlimited Potential attack). Despite the fact that you must
have a flashing Life Gauge (very low life), to use P.Power, once
you are in this state you can use the Breakshot or S.Power move
repeatedly without having the Power Gauge drain. Like in S.Power,
if you perform your P.Power move, your Power Gauge will empty. Also,
your Power Gauge will slowly empty even if you do nothing, so you
only have a limited amount of time to use your P.Power.
THE SWAY LINE SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A neat system found in all Fatal Fury games is the ability to step
into the background in order to evade attacks, launch a suprise
attack, etc. So, even though the playing field is 2-D, you can get
a sort of 2.5-D effect :) To move into the background (or back "line"
of play), press Z. To return to the foreground, press Z again. If
your opponent moves into the background as well, fighting continues
normally as it always does. However, if one person goes into the
back line and one person doesn't, the gameplay changes a bit:
- Pressing A or B makes you Punch or Kick into the background.
- Pressing C makes you do a Powerful Attack, but you stay where
you are. You can also do d + C to perform a low Powerful Attack.
If you hit your opponent with either Powerful Attack, they are
dragged into your line of play (foreground or background).
- You can't use command attacks, pursuits, or recoveries. You also
can't do _anything_ in air, no attacks, no special moves, no
changing direction, etc.
- If you perform a special move, S.Power, or P.Power move, it will
most likely miss, since your opponent is not in your line of
fire. However, some moves have the ability to hit in both planes,
allowing you to still attack your opponent. And some moves can
be used to propel yourself into another line of play (any move
performed with Z.
COMBINATION ATTACKS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Every character has a set of normal punches, kicks, and powerful
attacks that can be comboed into. These combinations are shown as
flowcharts in each character's section (well, not yet, they will be
in the next revision). Not only are the combos good for causing
damage, but you can usually interrupt them at some point with a
special move.
STAGE OBSTACLES
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In every stage, there are obstacles to the far left and right that
can be destroyed. To destroy them, back your opponent up against
them and attack them. Hit them enough times and the obstacle will
weaken, then collapse. If your opponent is near the obstacle when
it collapses, they will be dizzed and will be left open to attack.
You can destroy an obstacle from either the background or foreground.
MODES OF PLAY
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There are several modes of play in this game. "Arcade" is the
standard arcade-style mode of play. You'll fight eight opponents,
then Wolfgang Krauser. "Vs. Mode" lets you an a friend duke it out
and choose your characters after every battle. "Original" mode is
a truly lame additon which works just like Arcade mode. However,
a computerized "opponent" will ocassionaly join in and fight you,
usually playing at a much higher difficulty level. What's supposed
to be so great about that, I have no idea. The final mode available
is "Practice" mode, which lets you pick a non-moving opponent to
fight against in case you want to test out moves, combos, whatever.
You also get permanent P.Power in this mode so you can do any attack
you'd like. However, since the CPU doesn't attack you and doesn't
block, you can't use recoveries or test your overhead attacks.
