9) Special Moves of Each Character
===============================
I have no idea what their english names are, so I assign them each a
letter, being A to J from left to right on the fighter selection
screen. As I do not read Japanese, I only assign names of move based
on their function, shape, and what I have learn from the anime.

All basic moves and advance moves, as seen in the moves menu, are
self-explanatory. The only move which may seem to be unclear is
TAUNT. TAUNT depresses opponents and therefore decreases their
special energy.

Special energy is required to perform all special moves, depending on
which fighter you are using, the amount of special energy required
will be quite different. Just a reminder, hold A or B to raise your
special energy.

When your life (the Japanese word beside it) is flashing, you may
execute the super move (move with asterisk, '*', before it) if you
have enough special energy (the Japanese word beside it is flashing).

10) Endings & Secrets
=================
There are only two endings in this game. You have to finish the game
at difficulty 4 in order to see one of the endings. If you finish
the game by having one or more continue, you get the worse of the two
endings (which is great too :). This ending shows pairs of fighters
fighting each other with combos and special moves (no super moves
though ;). If you finish the game without any continue, you see the
better ending. This ending shows you pairs of fighters fighting each
other with perfect combos (you can get no better, I suppose), as well
as the super move for each fighter. And this ending, there is one
extra option in the practice mode. You can now play a game of ONE VS
TWO or even ONE VS THREE!!! Now that's gonna be FUN :)
This is such a great game that I really enjoy. In my opinion,
Treasure is such a great company in making action games that it is
competitive with Capcom. If you have Saturn, grap Guardian Heroes,
it's wonderful.
