ADVANCED VARIABLE GEO 2 (for Playstation)
Movelist / FAQ written by LegatoB
Version 1.0 - 06/01/2004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.0 - LEGAL STUFF
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This FAQ is copyright 2004 Jeff "LegatoB" Reed. If, for some reason
that I cannot possibly concieve of, you wish to use part of this FAQ
for some purpose, please email me first. I can be reached at:
[email protected] (remove the lunch meat). Please make the
subject "AVG2 FAQ" or something like that so I'll spot it.

This FAQ should only be found on GameFAQS or my personal site
(plug: http://jeff.sandwich.net/) unless I say otherwise. You may not
post this on your site, although you may make a copy for yourself or
a friend or something like that. It should go without saying that this
guide shouldn't be used in any sort of print publication, but I should
probably mention it anyway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0 - GENERAL INFO/UPDATES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section contains information on the terms used in this guide and
the controls used in the game. Future editions of this FAQ will also
include a list of updates/changes.

This FAQ was written in Notepad, the only text editor you'll ever need.
It was written with a mono-space font, and so you should view it with
one. Lucida Console is a nice choice.

05/27/2004 - Unreleased. All moves listed in manual transliterated and
included, except for the ones that I can't read because I can't read
Kanji. Those just get move commands and partial transliterations.

05/28/2004 - Unreleased. Got sceadu to transliterate (and translate)
some of the move names. Proceeded to sit on FAQ for a bit.

06/01/2004 - First released version. Cleaned up a few bits. Will add
chain combo and launcher info later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 - TERMINOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All terms either made up or stolen from other video games/FAQs.

Launch Attack:
An attack which knocks the opponent straight up into the air.

Command Attack:
An attack either done with a direction and a button pressed together,
or one of the basic attacks that has a noteworthy property
(ie: knockdown, launch, etc).

Special Attack:
An attack done with a joystick motion and a button press.

Super Attack:
An attack which requires one or more power stock(s) to use.

Super Jump:
A super jump goes either higher or farther than a regular jump,
depending on whether you enter u or uf/ub.

^ (Move Command):
A ^ symbol means the move has a powered up version that can be used
for one stock. To use this version of the move, use one of the below:

- Move Command + LP & HP or LK & HK
- (Move Command x 2) + LP/HP or LK/HK

So, if you want to do Tamao's LV1 Kikoudan, you'd enter:
d, df, f + LP & HP, or d, df, f, d, df, f + LP/HP.

1 or 2 (Move Command):
These mean that the move marked will be done when you press the SP1
or SP2 button (mappable in the game's Key Config).

Counter Attack:
A Counter Attack is done while you're blocking and the opponent is
hitting you. Depending on the button used, your attack varies.
LP and LK do basic attacks, HP and HK do certain Special Attacks.
Counter Attacks cost about 1/3 of a stock.

* (Move Command):
The * symbol means the move indicated requires one power stock.

** (Move Command):
The ** symbols mean the move indicated requires two power stocks.

2.0 - CHARACTER MOVE LISTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise noted, character move names are transliterated from the
game's manual. Note my Japanese reading skills are nearly nonexistant,
so I've probably made many errors in writing these names.

Names for moves not listed in manual (such as most command attacks) are
made up and given in [brackets].

4.0 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THANKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Props to my bud Big Eli King for reminding me of a few things (like
Counter Attacks).

Props also go to that lazy bum sceadu for using his MAD KANJI-READING
SKILLS to fill in a few of the gaps in the move list and translating
some of the move names. Oh, and pointing out a goof I made in a few of
the romanizations (little tsu doubles the -consonants-, self).

This guide is dedicated to Chris MacDonald, aka "Kao Megura," the KING of
fighting game FAQs. You'll be missed.
