 1. INTRODUCTION:
     >Shao Lin is a nice game. It doesnt look as
      great as Tekken, nor does it have specials of
      Street Fighter, but it does add a few new
      elements in fighting games. Like fighting
      against "8" (including yourself) in a
      free-for-all, or the rpg elements of the story
      mode. One thing which was really missing is a
      move list in the pause menu (which is now a
      staple in all fighting games). This faq is for
      those who have the game and want to quick check
      the moves before fighting.

NOTE: Hung Gar is totally different from the rest of
     the schools. Instead of having just one Qi
     Stance, you have four stances. The style also
     has the conventions of throws, multiple
     attacks, and sidesteps but it isnt listed on
     the movelist. Not only that, there seems to be
     some mix-ups about the attacks and the stances.
     I'll put up the corrections, after I go check
     them out.

Thanks to "Theodosis Kastritsos" <[email protected]>,
for pointing out the buttons and the characters. I dont get
to use the "Versus" mode much because I wanted to finish
the Story mode first, so I didnt get to see the characters
I unlocked.
