INTRODUCTION
______________________________________________________________________________

Hello everybody! Welcome to my movelist for Manny in Def Jam Vendetta. Here
you'll find a list of Manny's moves.
I'll list the commands and names of every move and also the name of the move
in "real wrestling-terminology" or a short explanation. This may not always be
accurate as I'm not in any way a wrestling specialist. I have used the
movelists in WWE Smackdown! Shut your Mouth, or the internet, where my memory
was lacking. If you find any errors (which I'm sure you will) please mail me.

I recommend you to look in my FAQ for Briggs before reading further. There
you'll find the explanations for the different positions you'll have to be in
to perform the moves. There you'll also find a General Movelist with the
moves which are the same regardless which character you're playing as.

NOTE: When you're reading the Movelist, remember that the names to the left
are the "in-game names" and the names to right are the "real names" or
explanations. The letters at the far left are the buttons you have to press.

MANNY'S MOVELIST
______________________________________________________________________________

Manny is unlocked when you start the game. He is your hero in Story Mode's
friend, and he plays a quite big role in the plot. As a wrestler he's quite
crappy though.

Special Moves
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Grapple

bmAB     Skull Fracture           Manny knees the opponent in the stomach,
                                 making him fall to the floor, where Manny
                                 knees him several times to the shoulders and
                                 head. He finishes with a hard knee strike to
                                 the head.


Rear Grapple

bmAB     Pummel Horse             Manny grabs the opponents wrists and pushes
                                 them together. He holds both of them in one
                                 hand and pushes upwards making the opponent
                                 bend forwards. The opponents arms are now
                                 pointing towards the sky with a 90 degree
                                 angle. Manny jumps up and spins one time
                                 around the opponents arms and then
                                 drops to the floor.



That's all from me! It's been fun.
