========================================================================
1.                         INTRODUCTION
========================================================================

 Wu Tang:Shaolin Style is a great fighting game by Activision that
features the Wu Tang Clan. I'm not a big fan of rap, but I dig The
Wu's Music. Even if you don't like their music though, this game
offers enough to keep you playing.

 This is the first playstation fighting game to allow for 4 Players
at once, it's also very bloody and gruesome. A combination for fun!
You need a code to bypass the Parental Lockout at the beginning to
view the bloody stuff. It's listed in the Manual but in case you don't
have one(or you're a low-down stealing thief using a CD-R), the code
is: /\ O X X [] /\ O []

Please note that a number of people have E-mailed me abou the German
verison of the game, and I'm sad to say that it seems as though you
can't enter the blood code for that version, due to some German Law
against video game violence to humans or something. Bummer for you
guys :-(

=======================================================================
2.                   BASIC CONTROLS AND GAMEPLAY
=======================================================================

 The controls are like a simplified Tekken. [] and /\ are your punches,
and X and O are the kicks. Each character has at least two throws, which
are done by pressing []+X or O+/\(ala Tekken again). Each fighter also
has a switch move done by pressing []+O, as well as a taunt performed
with /\+X.

 You can dash in any direction by hitting the D-Pad twice in that
direction. Various moves are performed by hitting either chains of
buttons or buttons and d-pad presses. I suggest you take some time and
use each fighter in the Practice Mode and learn most of their moves.
There aren't that many for each character so it's not that hard to
become quite skilled with all the fighters, unlike some other, more
complicated fighting games.

 An important factor to remember is that your movement is positional,
meaning everytime you hit "right" on the D-pad you won't always move to
the right on the screen. You have to take into account which way your
fighter is facing and where the opponent is as well.

========================================================================
3.                       CHARACTER COMBOS
========================================================================

 The first combos for each character are the ones that will allow you
to open up all the combo based Chambers(Main Combo). Most of them go up
to or beyond 10 hits, so for those chambers that only require 6 or 7
hits, just stop once you reach that number. Simple eh? In the future I'll
be adding more varied combos. Feel free to send in your favs! Full credit
will be given of course^_^

 Key Move: The Key Move is the one that starts the combo, it's like a
launcher in Marvel vs Capcom. Each character has two or three launchers,
but I've chosen what I feel is the best for each character in terms of
ease of use, hit probability, and of course, time allowed for juggling.

 Also note that these combos require you to have your enemy with his/her
back near the wall to complete fully. Again, these are combos to help you
open up the Chambers mainly, but they can also be used in Vs. fights and
whatnot. While I give the commands you'll still have to work a bit at
getting the timing down, it's not that hard though.

The other combos vary in hits and damage, and if they were sent in by
someone their name and/or E-mail address will be listed above it.

4.                      The 36 CHAMBERS

The key to unlocking all the secrets in this game lie in the 36 Chambers.

=========================================================================
5.                         FIGHTING LEI GONG
=========================================================================

Lei Gong is the Sub-Boss of the game. He's found in the Shaolin Temple
in the last level. For some characters he;s nearly impossible, for others
he;s a piece of cake. In this section I hope to accumulate some helpful,
character specific, tips on how to defeat this guy.

General Tips:
1. Play evasively, make him make the first move then react and counter.
You want to stay from him as much as you can then move in when you see
an opening.

2.When you DO see that opening, juggle, juggle, juggle! This is important
for two reasons. The damage and the fact that juggling builds up your Rage
Meter quickly. The Rage Meter is key to beating Lei Gong

3. If Lei Gong's meter is full, avoid him more than ever! He's hard enough
as it is, and with the extra power of the Rage Meter, he can plow through
your lives quick, fast, and in a hurry!

Contributed Tips:

1.Cheap n Easy!(From [email protected])-It's simple, just back
into a wall and constently hit down on the pad. Since the room is round
you won't get trapped up in a corner, and just let Lei keep trying to attack
you. Once he misses, hit him with a combo or special move of your choice!
Cheesy I know but it works.

=========================================================================
6.                         FIGHTING MONG ZHU
=========================================================================

 Mong Zhu is the main boss of Shaolin Style. Again, for some charcters
he's pretty easy while others really struggle with him. Just like the
Lei Gong section, I plan on putting some character specific tips on
beating this guy here.

I haven't played him much yet, but here are some helpful tips from fellow
gamers:

1.(From [email protected])-I found that when beating Mong Zhu with Dirty,
you must wait for him to make the first move, once he does start off the
10 stringer and then back away. If he starts to see it coming then try
the spinning kicks combo or the flip kick into Thai fist. I think Mong Zhu
is easiest defeated with Dirty, while with Method man i had back him into a
corner and keep hitting triangle. if you tap triangle fast enough, he cant
get a move off.

2.(From [email protected])-The use of the dn->+X 0,/\/\/\... and
the ->[][]/\/\/\... combos agianst Mong Zhu and everybody else up to him
should make Wu-Tang: Shaolin Styles a fairly easy game if you use Method Man.
When Mong Zhu gets powered up keep your distance and use the dn->[] move over
and over and he will stay away as his rage meter goes away.

8.                          NEXT REVISION
========================================================================

Just a quick update to change my E-Mail address and fix some of the
layout. No more revisions likely.

========================================================================
9.                         ABOUT THE AUTHOR
========================================================================

 This is just one of a few FAQs I've written, all of which are
available at GameFAQS. A few my FAQs are on various other websites
(usually with proper creditO_o) as well. I hope this or any of the other
FAQs I've written help you in some way, or allow you to enjoy a game
more than before, or maybe just get a good read out of it.

 If you have any questions about this game, or any other I've
written a FAQ for, feel free to drop me an E-Mail. BUT keep in
mind a few things:

1. Please don't ask when the next revision will be out, or if I
can send it to you. I don't really have a set schedule for these
things,and you can pick up the FAQ(s) at GameFAQs.

2. Please don't ask about something already covered in the FAQ.
Usually once a FAQ comes out I'm swamped with E-Mails and skip
ones that are covered in the FAQ. If it's really desperate I may
answer, but otherwise everything I know is in the FAQ.

3. Don't mail asking for codes, I don't have a Gameshark or keep
track of cheat codes or anything.

 Other than that, I try to answer every single E-Mail I get and
am usually pretty good at getting back to people quickly, but
sometimes I lose letters in my computer or forget to keep them as
new. If I don't answer in a week or so it's safe to say I screwed up
somehow^_^
