dir. - Any of the eight directions can be used: f (forward), b
(back), d (down), u (up), df (down-forward), db (down-back),
uf (up-forward) or ub (up-back). (If there are any direction
exceptions, they are noted afterward.)
qcf / qcb - Motion (d,df,f) or (d,db,b) on the joystick.
(The game engine permits simplified input of quarter-circle
motions, allowing presses of 'd,f' or 'd,b' to also work.)
.. rapidly - Repeat the listed command(s) in a swift succession. ("Press
Punch rapidly" means to swiftly hit any Punch button over and
over.)
When close - Perform the following command(s) when player is near the
opponent.
x~x - Anything within that range of directions/buttons will work.
.. - Used after attack commands to indicate that another attack
can be used as a follow-up.
(move name) - A special move that has no specific name, but is noted in the
character`s movelist for having unique principles or command
to execute it. Although sometimes this notation means that I
don`t know the official name for the move yet. Basic throws
normally don`t have a name to them, so appear in parenthesis.
OTG-capable - Stands for "off the ground." The fighter can use this attack
to hit the opponent on the ground after a KNOCKDOWN for
additional damage. Some attacks may pop the opponent back
into the air for juggling capabilities.
f - Stands for "frame/frames," used in conjunction with numbers
(7f) to explain frame data. (Can be read as either "frame 7"
or "7 frames".) An additional letter——S, A, R——may follow to
differentiate between a move`s startup, active, and recovery
periods, respectively. ('7fS' means '7 frame startup'.)

FRAME DATA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea of "frame data" can be a bit intimidating to new players. It is one
of the best and scariest ways to help improve your game, but only if you fully
understand what you are looking at——and why you are looking at it. Many expert
players in the fighting game community will talk about 'advantage' and moves
that are 'unsafe,' and this is where it all stems from. Frame data is the most
accurate way to measure events and timing in fighting games. This area will
help to break down what a lot of this information means, to help you grasp the
concepts better in order to use it throughout your gameplay.
+-- [ Frames ] -------------------------------------------------------------+
A 'frame' is a game`s unit of time measurement. `Asuka 120% Limited´ runs at
30 frames per second, unlike the 60 that most modern games do. Which means in
a span of one full second, there are 30 frames of sprite animation that takes
place. Not all of it is noticeable or easy to recognize, but it`s there. For
example, Asuka winds her hand back for 4 of the 8 frames before throwing her
Enshin Hasai Ken, which are very subtle movements.
While the action in `Limited´ is half as fast as other fighters, it also means
that timing for the execution of abilities and attacks is not twice as strict.
Frame data allow for discussions of given moves to be taken to a deeper, more
useful level. The actual utility and effectiveness for a given move becomes
more apparent when looking at the frame data. Visually, there is little
difference between and attack that hits in 2 frames versus one that hits in 5
frames. It`s the difference between "just under a tenth of a second" and "just
over a tenth of a second." But in the terms of the game itself, this minuscule
and brief variation in timing can equal quite a significant deal.
+-- [ Startup Frames ] -----------------------------------------------------+
The number of frames before the attack reaches its first active frame, which
is capable of hitting the opponent, after the command for the move has been
correctly input. In simplest terms: the lower the number is, the faster the
attack is able to execute. The fastest moves in the game have between 1 to 4
frames of startup; throw attacks generally are included. For the purposes of
this FAQ, startup frames naturally include the first frame of the active
period. This is for ease of looking for links under +Hit (frame advantage): if
something lists an advantage of +4, then any attack with a startup of 4 frames
or lower works. This does mean, however, that is you add up the startup,
active, and recovery frames, the sum is actually 1 frame longer than the real
duration of the attack.
For PROJECTILES, these are the number of frames until the character releases
the attack. For projectiles that don`t hit on their first active frame (eg -
Asuka`s Phenomenon Crash), additional notes will indicate when exactly the
projectile can cause damage. In which case then adding the character`s startup
frames and the projectile`s unique startup frames will equal to be 1 frame
longer than when the projectile will be actually active. (The number of frames
up until and including when the character releases the projectile + the number
of frames the projectile is active.)
+-- [ Active Frames ] ------------------------------------------------------+
The number of frames the attack is capable of striking. Basic attacks tend to
have a small amount of active frames——typically around 3-6 frames. Attacks
with a high number of active frames should be worth noting. Numbers listed in
parenthesis are inactive frames in between the active ones for multi-hitting
attacks. An active of 'Ground' means an aerial attack will remain able to
strike until the character lands to the ground.
Most PROJECTLE attacks are a bit of a special case, since the active part of
the animation is (usually) completely separate from the character`s animation.
So the character only actually has startup and recovery animations. In which
case projectiles have an active period listed as " —— " due to how their time
on screen is determined by the positions of the characters. Projectiles which
have a limited duration on screen (eg - Nana`s Light Fuugetsu Sen) will have
its active frame count listed in the "Notes" section.
+-- [ Recovery Frames ] ----------------------------------------------------+
The number of frames in which the attack is recovering and no longer active,
where the character transitions back to their neutral stance so they can act
again. Characters can`t guard or perform other actions while recovering, so
they are left vulnerable. The recovery period is the portion that is
circumvented when using any kind of cancel into other moves. For PROJECTILE
attacks, recovery begins the frame after the projectile is actually released.
'Landing Frames' are unique recovery frames that happen after the character
lands from a jump, or after some aerial special attacks. (Some uppercut-type
attacks that send the opponent into the air included.) What makes them unique
is that all but first frame can be canceled with attacks and special moves,
allowing the character to recover faster. Recovery frame counts listed all
reflect if the full amount of landing recovery frames transpire, so the player
will have to cancel them as they see fit.
'Ground' (or 'Grd') signifies that the character remains in recovery animation
until they land on the ground. If there are numbers in addition (eg - Grd+4),
it means that even after the character lands, they will have additional frames
of recovery to go through.
If there are two numbers in the Recovery table (eg - 3/6), the first number is
the amount of frames if the attack hits, while the second number is if the
attack misses. This typically is used for command throws, throw on hits, or
attacks that have different animations on hit.
+-- [ Advantage on Hit ] ---------------------------------------------------+
After an attack strikes an opponent, two things occur: the attacking character
will go through their recovery animation, and the defending character either
goes into hitstun or guardstun (depending on if the move was blocked or not).
Different attacks go through different recovery periods and inflict different
amounts of guardstun or hitstun. After these times, both the attacker and the
defender will eventually leave those animations and be allowed to act again.
The discrepancy between when the character and the opponent both return to
neutral stance and can perform another action is expressed with the concept of
frame advantage (listed as '+Hit' or 'On Hit' in this FAQ). A frame advantage
of "+7" means the character can act a full 7 frames before the opponent can do
anything——a rather sizable advantage! A frame advantage of "-3" means that the
opponent instead has 3 frames to act before the character does. Whereas having
"0" advantage means both characters return to neutral at the exact same time.
For PROJECTILE attacks, the +Hit is based upon if the attack hits on its very
first active frame; typically point-blank range.
Another special case are aerial/jumping attacks. The listed frame advantages
in this FAQ are taken as if the attack hits on its very first active frame,
like with projectiles, and then the character landing as soon as they possibly
can——usually on the next frame. However, that seldom will ever occur. Whether
it is air-to-air, or air-to-ground, aerial attacks generally do not ever hit
on their first active frame unless they are used in an air combo. In addition,
where on the opponent`s body they are hit is also a factor. Karina attacking
Asuka with a Jumping Heavy that hits at the top of her head will give Karina a
much different frame advantage than if she hits Asuka much deeper in the chest
region. (Character sprite sizes would also be a factor, but generally all the
characters are the same size with the slight exceptions of Kiyoko, Megumi, and
Gen`ichirou.) Thus the advantage for aerial attacks are variable, and should
only be taken as an idea on how much hitstun the opponent is put in rather
than be used for anything overly specific.
Due to the sheer amount of methods that characters can freely get out of their
guardstun in `Asuka 120% Limited´ without any negative effects, this FAQ does
not include tables to show "advantage on guard."
+-- [ Saishuu Oku Waza / "Superflash" ] ------------------------------------+
Saishuu Oku Waza (Last Heart Techniques; aka Supers) all progress in a similar
manner: the first few frames of the attack`s animation plays out as initial
startup, then the screen background begins to darken as a collection of stars
swirl around the character. This darkening phase that takes place is referred
to in Japanese mooks and guides as "anten," or a "theatrical blackout". Here
in the US it is commonly known as a "superflash." This is the period of time a
character will charge up their power in preparation to unleash a Super attack.
During this period of "superflash," the gameplay freezes for dramatic effect.
Nothing happens during that period of time, and thus can be ignored. Animation
will then pick up after that superflash, which will typically be a couple more
startup frames and the first active frame. It should be noted that while the
screen is blackened out, the opponent and their actions (eg - punches, thrown
projectiles) remain frozen, while the character goes through the rest of their
beginning animation. Once the screen lightens back up, animation continues as
normal for both players and all objects.
In breaking down Last Heart Techniques, numbers with an '!' beside it are the
amount of superflash frames taken during that game freeze (eg - 2+16!+5). All
Saishuu Oku Waza have 16 frames of superflash. Thus, in reality, this attack
only has a 7 frame startup time.
+-- [ Additional Notes ] ---------------------------------------------------+
- `Asuka 120% Limited´ runs at 30fps on both the Sega Saturn and emulator. The
frame data listed is when the game is set at the default speed of 2 stars.
If the speed is altered, there is a good chance many of the numbers will be
different due to frame skipping (or extension) that takes place for the game
to run at that new speed. Two stars is the setting for tournament play.
- For whatever reason, and it goes for every character, some attacks will be
a frame shorter when on the 1P side as opposed to 2P. For example, Asuka`s
Light Enshin Hasai Ken sometimes has a startup of 7 frames rather than its
normal 8. I haven`t been able to fully establish why that happens other than
there being some minor frame skipping at times. Data listed does not account
for that, and rather lists the frames that execute on a regular basis.
- Similar to the above, at times there can be a "variance" in the amount of
frames in one area as opposed to another. Meaning that an attack may lose a
startup frame, but gain a recovery frame. Or gain startup frame, but instead
lose an active one. I`m not entirely sure what is to blame for this either,
but my best guess is the attacks have animation that "shifts" to try and
avoid issues that might come up with speed or collision. This also occurs a
lot when frames shift when the opponents are close up, as opposed to when
the stage is fully panned out. While this doesn`t have a heavy impact on
gameplay, due to the attacks still having the same amount of advantage and
total overall frames, it has proven to make finding the correct frame count
on certain attacks to be difficult at times. For attacks where this occurred
rather frequently, the larger startup frame count is posted here. If for
whatever reason the move loses a startup frame and adds it elsewhere, it
won`t mess up possible links using that attack.
- Saishuu Oku Waza typically all have invincibility on their startup until the
first active frame——not counting the frames of superflash since everything
in the game is frozen. For example, for Asuka`s Enshin Ren Satsu Ken which
has a startup of 2+16!+5, she is invincible during the 2 frames before the
superflash and the first 4 frames afterward. (Kiyoko stands out with having
an outstanding amount of invincibility: 13 frames!)

STORY MODE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Mode takes you through the game`s plot, which is mainly centered around
the interaction between the characters during their trials through the Mega
Fight Tournament. Select one of the eleven characters (Tetsuko and Gen`ichirou
cannot be chosen) to go through the game. The majority of the cast must defeat
nine opponents, with the ability to fighting a secret tenth opponent if no
continues are used. (Asuka, Karina, and Shinobu all must fight Tamaki Shindou
as a 10th opponent regardless, with Shinobu solely able to fight Gen`ichirou
as her secret 11th opponent.) Once the final opponent is defeated, you are
treated with a still image of your character for their ending. Each character
will have a set order in which they fight their opponents, and will always
remain the same:
(Due to space, each character`s name is shortened to the first three letters.)

Losing against an opponent brings up a Continue screen. You have an infinite
amount of time to decide on whether or not you wish to continue. Press A / C
to activate the continue as you hover on "SURU" (Do it), allowing you to start
the stage over against the opponent that defeated you. Select "SHINAI" (Don`t
do it) to deactivate the continue and end the game.
For the full translations of the dialogue that takes place, please consult my
`StoryFAQ´ available at GameFAQS.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .02 )
VS GAME
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VS Game is made for anywhere between 0- to 2-players. There are three modes
to choose from: "VS USER," "VS COM," and "VS WATCH." In each mode, any of the
13 characters can be selected.
Stage selection is always based upon whichever character 2P selects. (If they
choose Cathy Wild, you will fight on Cathy`s stage.)
There is also a RESULT option, which will bring up a win/loss chart based on
characters chosen. Each character`s highest RUSH combo is also saved. Pressing
the R-shoulder button will bring up the hi-score chart for Ranking Mode. Press
L-shoulder to go back to the Result screen.
In order the listings read from top to bottom: Asuka, Ryuuko, Torami, Megumi,
Kumi, Tamaki, Karina, Nana, Kiyoko, Cathy, Shinobu, Tetsuko, Gen`ichirou.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .03 )
RANKING MODE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Survival mode. Select one of the thirteen characters to fight through a
gauntlet of 10 randomly selected opponents, followed by Tetsuko, Gen`ichirou,
and finally a mirror match against whichever character you selected as the
final boss. (If you select either Tetsuko or Gen`ichirou, that character is
replaced by Shinobu in the lineup.) Each fight is only one round. Every time
you win your character gains about back 1/4 base health, which is added to
however much health they have remaining.
Other than surviving, the goal of Ranking Mode is to score as many points as
possible. This is achieved by the RUSH combos you perform: the higher the
combo hits for, the more points received. The number of points gained for that
particular combo appears underneath the RUSH combo total performed.
------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------
Number of Hits | Score | Number of Hits | Score
------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------
2 RUSH 300 pts 9 RUSH 2600 pts
3 RUSH 500 pts 10 RUSH 3000 pts
4 RUSH 1000 pts 11 RUSH 3300 pts
5 RUSH 1200 pts 12 RUSH 3600 pts
6 RUSH 1500 pts 13 RUSH 4000 pts
7 RUSH 2000 pts 14 RUSH 5000 pts
8 RUSH 2300 pts 15+ RUSH +1000 pts/hit
Burning Gauge energy does not carry over to the next fight.
Losing against an opponent ends Ranking Mode. The score and highest RUSH Combo
made for that character will be saved.

Select the damage multiplier of that player`s characters from 0-7: 0 makes
the character do 100% less damage, 7 makes the character do 100% more
damage. 4 is default.

cause Hard Knockdowns or Flying Screen and slam the opponent into the wall
or ground still inflict damage.)
- GUARD TYPE
Select the character`s defense ability: Manual, Auto, or No Guard. 'Manual'
causes the player to control when and how to guard, 'Auto' automatically
guards during the character`s positioning (standing, crouching, jumping),
'No Guard' disables guarding completely, but the character has super armor.

Select the status of the player`s Burning Gauge meter: Normal or Full.
'Normal' causes the gauge to have to be filled through combat, 'Full' has
the gauge always at 120%.

'Now Loading' animation or quick continue options.

| Asuka throws a group of test tubes engulfed in fiery energy. |
| - PROJECTILE (8 durability points). KNOCKDOWN. |
| - At times has some weird nullifying effects against other projectiles. If |
| used against another Enshin Ren Satsu Ken, the two blasts might cancel |
| each other out completely, -or- instead clash through one another while |
| just diminishing most of the hits. It will nullify the Enshin Hasai Ken, |
| but will completely pass through Shinobu`s Banchou Bazooka if the blasts |
| are separated. Against the Messatsu Megaton Bazooka, it will destroy it |
| completely and pass through with anywhere between 1-5 hits left on it. |

| Asuka throws two chemical beakers to the ground to create a pair of |
| explosions. |
| - PROJECTILE (4 durability points; explosion). KNOCKDOWN. |
| - The beakers themselves don`t hit, only the explosions they cause upon |
| hitting the ground does damage. The first beaker explodes after 8 frames, |
| the second explodes after 11 frames. Explosions last 40 frames. |
| - There are two separate explosions, and they travel a small distance in |
| both directions. |
| - Depending on how the opponent gets hit by the explosions will determine |
| how much frame advantage Asuka gets. Getting all 11 hits will cause the |
| opponent to get frozen for about 10 frames while Asuka lands, giving her |
| the largest advantage. |
| - Omits landing frames recovery. |

| hits last 28 frames. |
| - If Cathy catches, she recovers in 5 frames if she does one or two hits, |
| but recovers in 4 frames if she does all three to compensate for the |
| shorter stun duration. |
| - If Cathy doesn`t catch, she glides forward a small distance with her arms |
| still reaching out. Anything past the first frame will not catch, so her |
| sliding is all recovery animation which lasts 14 frames. |
| - While stunned, Cathy can`t hit the opponent with the following attacks: |
| Cathy Buchikamashi Throw, Shoulder Crash, Triple Headbutt. |
| - Cathy was rocking the 'Stungun Headbutt' before Alex (SF3) made it cool! |

| - Unblockable (only at close range). KNOCKDOWN. |
| - Able to catch airborne opponents. |
| - Only unblockable if Cathy is within a character`s length distance from |
| the opponent. Basically the majority of her arm has to be atop the other |
| character`s sprite. If only her fingers touch, the grabbing sound will be |
| heard if the opponent is guarding, but Cathy won`t grab them. |
| - If Cathy catches, she recovers in 3 frames to get off the ground. If she |
| doesn`t catch, her arms remain extended during her recovery period. |
| - This move was originally called the "Florida Ocean Suplex," due to where |
| Cathy is originally from. |

| Gen`ichirou ascends with a spinning uppercut. |
| - KNOCKDOWN. |
| - Consists of two hit state properties: If Gen`ichirou hits the opponent on |
| the first frame of his active period, it scores a CLEAN HIT and causes a |
| SPINNING KNOCKDOWN. If he hits on any of the following active frames, it |
| causes a normal KNOCKDOWN. |
| - 'B' hits three times for a non-CLEAN HIT. |
| - The frame advantage shown is what Gen`ichirou gets on a non-CLEAN HIT. |
| For the B-version, he gets +3 if two hits connect, and +12 if all three |
| hits connect. |

| Gen`ichirou swings his arm downward, throwing a pulse of blue energy. |
| - PROJECTILE (4 durability points). STRIKE if one hit connects; KNOCKDOWN |
| if more. |
| - Projectile lasts 17 frames. |
| - While it is possible to have all four hits connect in the open, it mostly |
| happens in/near the corner. The frame advantage shown is what Gen`ichirou |
| gets when it hits the opponent in the corner, since it`s impossible to do |
| a link in the open due to the knockback. The advantage varies depending |
| on how many hits connect, in addition to the strength difference. The A- |
| version will give Gen`ichirou the biggest advantage due to his shorter |
| recovery time. |
| - The more hits that connect, the smaller the frame advantage. For example, |
| if the Light version does two hits, Gen`ichirou gets ~+13-14, whereas if |
| four hits connect, he gets +8. The Heavy gets anywhere from +6-10 if two |
| hits connect, but only +3-5 if all four hits do. |

KARINA TOYOTA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biology club representative. Asuka is her childhood friend and rival. Her pet
frog`s name is Kero-pyon.
* Kero-pyon is Karina`s companion, and acts as an additional means which she
can use to attack. Most of the attacks which utilize Kero-pyon require him
to be at Karina`s side before activation. Kero-pyon follows beside Karina`s
movements closely, making him available to attack immediately.
* Kero-pyon only becomes active during the Kerokero Attack, Kerokero Heat
Press, Kero-pyon Setup, and Kerokero Mega Heat, which provides him with a
hurtbox so that he can be struck. If Kero-pyon is hit, it prematurely stops
whatever attack/ability he is doing.
* Kero-pyon goes through recovery animation in the form of flipping backward
whenever his attack hits, misses, or if he is attacked during one of his
abilities. Typically the recovery period is shorter if he misses. If Kero-
pyon is hit by an opponent`s attack, it acts as the same recovery duration
as if his attack struck. During that period, Karina can`t command him to do
another ability.
* Kero-pyon always hops back toward Karina after his command is complete.
* Attacking Kero-pyon deals no damage to Karina herself.

| Karina gestures, commanding Kero-pyon to sit and sparkle. |
| - Can follow with (cancel). |
| - Requires Kero-pyon to be at Karina`s side. |
| - Fills Karina`s Burning Gauge meter, even up to 120%. Each tick adds 2% to |
| the gauge. 'A' is two ticks throughout 63 frames; 'B' is seven ticks |
| throughout 187 frames. |
| - The rate in which the Kero-pyon Setup fills the Burning Gauge is that it |
| ticks roughly every 25 frames. However this count will be off at times. |
| Note there will be times where a tick will instead come after 17 frames, |
| but to compensate for that lucky timing, a new tick will eventually come |
| after 33 frames. (Thus balancing out the 25 frame increments.) |
| - The first time you perform the Setup during a round (regardless of button |
| strength), the very first tick comes after 34 frames, then each following |
| tick comes about 25 frames later. |
| - The Kero-pyon Setup internally keeps track on how long its duration has |
| gone through. Thus if it is canceled, interrupted, or completes its full |
| duration, the next Setup will pick up in frames from the previous one`s |
| stopping point. For example, if a Heavy Kero-pyon Setup is canceled on |
| frame 50, that`s 16 frames after the first tick (since it happens on 34). |
| If you do the Setup again, the frame count will continue from the last |
| point, so the first tick will instead happen after 9 frames (16 + 9 = 25 |
| frames). Due to the "wonky" timing the Setup sometimes goes through, this |
| is not something one can really plan out or use to one`s advantage. |
| - Kero-pyon remains in one spot while the Setup is active, but Karina is |
| still able to move and attack. Even after leaving Kero-pyon somewhere on |
| screen, Karina can still perform the (Kuuchuu) Kerokero Attack, (Kuuchuu) |
| Kerokero Heat Press, Kerokero Mega Heat, and Kerokero Angler no matter |
| where Kero-pyon is. |
| - Doing either the (Kuuchuu) Kerokero Attack or (Kuuchuu) Kerokero Heat |
| Press while the Kero-pyon Setup is active will increase that attack`s |
| range. The Kerokero Attack goes slightly further, and the Kerokero Heat |
| Press has a wider arc. This method does not extend the attack`s active |
| frames, but just forces Kero-pyon to just move further forward. Damage |
| and Burning Gauge meter gains remain the same. |
| - If Kero-pyon is physically touched or attacked by the opponent while |
| sparkling, he automatically counterattacks with a weaker Kerokero Heat |
| Press. Karina still gains Burning Gauge meter from this attack. |
| - If Kero-pyon is left somewhere and the opponent is between Karina and the |
| frog, perform the motions for attacks from Karina`s point of view. |

| appear stampeding across the screen. |
| - PROJECTILE (0 durability points). KNOCKDOWN. |
| - Does not require Kero-pyon to be at Karina`s side. |
| - In most cases upon activation, Kero-pyon will flip backward offscreen. It |
| is possible for him to flip forward instead. This typically only happens |
| if Karina ends up behind Kero-pyon, usually if the Angler is done |
| immediately after Karina lands from backdashing. |
| - The stampeding frogs always travel in the direction Karina points. |
| - What should be noted is that none of the frogs that stampede is Kero-pyon |
| attacking. Kero-pyon is actually offscreen while it is happening. This is |
| important because if you do the Kerokero Mega Heat while the Angler is |
| happening, Kero-pyon will start it offscreen and advance back on screen |
| during its duration behind Karina. But if you cause Kero-pyon to instead |
| flip forward using the Karina backdash activation method, Kero-pyon will |
| instead attack closer to the opponent, if not -behind- them! |
| - This might be a programming error, but Kero-pyon flips each time the |
| Kerokero Angler is performed. So it carries him further, and further, and |
| -further- away from Karina into offscreen limbo if consecutive Anglers |
| are performed. If you do too many, it can take quite a while before Kero- |
| pyon appears back on screen to be used for any attacks. |

| Kiyoko hops backward, then advances in a blur of images. (Sometimes she`ll |
| be completely invisible.) If she hits opponent, she knocks them into the |
| air with a swiping punch and disappears, then reappears in air to kick them |
| back to the ground. |
| - Consists of two hit state properties: If Kiyoko hits the opponent on the |
| 1-12 frames of her active period (with her glove up beside her head), it |
| scores a CLEAN HIT and causes a SPINNING KNOCKDOWN. This is when she hits |
| the opponent into the air for the full animation. If she hits on any of |
| the following active frames, it causes a normal KNOCKDOWN. |
| - The frame advantage shown is what Kiyoko gets on a non-CLEAN HIT. |
| - Kiyoko can Deflect attacks and low priority projectiles during her active |
| period, regardless of how many hits they do. Due to her speed, she passes |
| through projectiles after Deflecting the first hit. However, this causes |
| the Illusion Out to end prematurely, forcing Kiyoko to slide across the |
| screen in recovery for 14 frames. She is still seen swiping her glove up |
| during this period, but it doesn`t hit or cause damage. |
| - If guarded, Kiyoko completes the entire Illusion Out animation as normal. |
| Since the opponent won`t be knocked into the air, Kiyoko instead appears |
| over them to deliver the final kick. This kick is unblockable and still |
| does damage, but won`t cause a SPINNING KNOCKDOWN. It can`t be Deflected, |
| but it is possible to High Jump Counter or Evade it with a forward or |
| back dash. Kiyoko gets a +6 frame advantage should that kick hit. |
| - The last kick of the Illusion Out also tracks the opponent`s location, so |
| if they attempt to Evade too early, the final kick has a chance to still |
| track and catch them. |

| the 'Ichi'. |
| - Using either A, B, or AB alters how far Nana advances while spinning her |
| naginata, in addition to the spinning`s duration, determined by button |
| strength. 'AB' goes the furthest distance, but 'B' has the longest amount |
| of active frames. The 'A' variation goes the shortest distance, and is |

| Ryuuko leaps upward as a volleyball is thrown toward her, which she swings |
| her arm to spike it downward. The ball bounces off the ground at an angle. |
| - PROJECTILE (1 durability point; infinite durability points when ball is |
| bouncing). STRIKE. KNOCKDOWN (v air). |
| - OTG-capable. |
| - 'A' spikes the volleyball 80º; 'B' spikes the volleyball 30º. |
| - Consists of two hit state properties: If Ryuuko hits the opponent during |
| her ascension, she knocks them into the air. Ryuuko then hits both the |
| opponent and the volleyball with her spike, which causes a SPINNING |
| KNOCKDOWN. The opponent hits the ground first, followed by the volleyball |
| for an (otg). It is possible for the opponent to quick recover to avoid |
| the additional volleyball hit. |
| - The first number for the startup frames is how long it takes for Ryuuko |
| to actually spike the volleyball. The second number is if she hits the |
| opponent during her ascension. |
| - The volleyball is able to deal damage as long as it`s sparkling yellow, |
| so it can still hit after bouncing off the ground. |
| - While the volleyball can only damage the opponent after Ryuuko spikes it, |
| the actual sprite of the volleyball always possesses a collision box. |
| Unlike the other projectiles in the game, this means that the volleyball |
| is always an active part on the field until it fades away——even after it |
| strikes the opponent. This becomes a factor into gameplay on a couple of |
| occasions, and can potentially be a negative to Ryuuko or the opponent. |
| One of the more common situations where it can backfire on Ryuuko is if |
| she performs consecutive Inazuma Serves. Depending on her location, it is |
| possible that after the volleyball bounces off the ground back into the |
| air, the new incoming ball will collide into the first. This causes both |
| volleyballs to nullify, and Ryuuko won`t have anything to spike! |
| - The volleyball is never considered "dead" while it is bouncing along the |
| ground after a hit. Due to this, it can behave like a barrier of sorts in |
| that it can stop attacks. This can potentially interfere with Ryuuko more |
| than the opponent. After the volleyball hits the opponent (either with a |
| hit or guarded), it bounces around a while until its momentum stops and |
| disappears. Until then, any attacks that come in contact with the ball |
| will automatically be Deflected. In addition, the ball does not dissipate |
| upon being hit, so can Deflect an infinite amount of attacks! This tends |
| to get more in the way of Ryuuko since the volleyball bounces back toward |
| her, and can get in the way of some of her next attacks. |
| - On the flip side, because the volleyball is still technically in play as |
| it bounces, it is possible for Ryuuko to re-spike that same ball by doing |
| another Inazuma Serve. This is only really possible if Ryuuko is close to |
| the opponent, allowing her to be in range when the volleyball recoils |
| back into the air after a hit. If timed right, Ryuuko can spike that same |
| volleyball back down toward the opponent! Not only that, but it`s also |
| possible to have her spike -both- volleyballs (the old and newly thrown |
| one), but it requires both timing and some positioning. The main benefit |
| to this is that since Ryuuko only attacks with the spike animation when |
| she comes in contact with a volleyball, she performs the Inazuma Serve |
| between 6-10 frames faster than she would if she had to wait until a new |
| volleyball was thrown out. I have managed to spike the same volleyball |
| four times by utilizing both the A- and B-versions, to alter the angles |
| that the volleyball is hit due to Ryuuko jumping slightly higher. |

| - The headbutt causes both a stun and slight vacuuming effect when it hits, |

Smashed by Tamaki Shindou during the 99th match of "Annihilation! Hot-blooded
Gang Leader Brawl! The Blazing 100th Certain Victory Contest!" one year ago,
and has appeared for the sake of revenge.
* Shinobu pays homage to the Shotokan fighters from the `Street Fighter´
series, and shares many of the same special attacks. Her appearance is very
similar to Hiyakeshita (Sunburned) Sakura Kasugano, and her attack poses
mimic Ryuu`s. The Hissatsu Megaton Dynamite is like Gouki`s Messatsu Gou-
Shouryuu. She can also juggle the opponent with consecutive Banchou
Tornados like Gouki can with his Tatsumaki Zan Kuu Kyaku.

| can get cheated out of half the potential damage if the sphere decides to |
| only strike once. There is no surefire way to make the spheres hit twice, |
| but the chances of it happening increase if hitting an airborne opponent |
| or if Shinobu is around half-screen distance away. |
| - The B-version`s first sphere lasts 20 frames, which ends just before the |
| edge of the screen if the stage is fully panned out. (It will barely miss |
| the opponent if Shinobu and them are against opposite walls.) The second |

| - STRIKE with 'A'; KNOCKDOWN (v air) with 'A'; KNOCKDOWN with 'B'. |
| - If Shinobu hits, she recoils for 13/11 frames (depending on version), but |
| is able to still perform an aerial attack if she is bounced high enough. |

| Shinobu throws two large blue spheres of electric energy. |
| - PROJECTILE (3 durability points/blast). KNOCKDOWN (v air). |
| - Each sphere has the capability to hit four times, but it`s not guaranteed |
| that it will. There is no surefire way to make the spheres get the full |
| amount of hits. Opposed to the Heavy Banchou Bazooka, the further Shinobu |
| is from the opponent actually lessens the amount of hits capable. At full |
| screen distance, typically 3-4 hits will score; yet at point-blank range, |
| Shinobu can connect with 7 hits. Oddly the full 8 hits will connect if |
| the opponent is between 1/4 and 1/2 screen distance away. |
| - This variance in the amount of hits carries over if it comes in contact |
| with another projectile. Depending on how far away from Shinobu the two |
| projectiles clash will also determine the amount of hits. For example, if |
| it nullifies Asuka`s Enshin Hasai Ken at full screen distance and then |
| the spheres hit Asuka, it only scores 2-3 hits. |

| Tamaki ascends with an upward racket swing. |
| - KNOCKDOWN. |
| - OTG-capable. |
| - Consists of two hit state properties: If Tamaki hits the opponent on the |
| first frame of her active period, it scores a CLEAN HIT and causes a |
| SPINNING KNOCKDOWN. If she hits on any of the following active frames, it |
| causes a HARD KNOCKDOWN as Tamaki smacks the opponent back down to the |
| ground with her racket. |
| - If used as an (otg), it retains both hit state properties. The CLEAN HIT |
| version still pops the opponent offscreen, but instead causes a normal |
| KNOCKDOWN and the opponent won`t suffer from additional landing damage. |
| Nor will Tamaki be able to hit or juggle them during their descent. The |
| non-CLEAN HIT version hits multiple times, but Tamaki`s final racket hit |
| that knocks the opponent to the ground will always miss. |
| - 'A' hits three times for a non-CLEAN HIT; 'B' hits four. |
| - If guarded, Tamaki attacks with the non-CLEAN HIT variation. She still |
| attacks with a downward racket swing at the end, but unless the opponent |
| advances on her, it will whiff against most characters. |
| - For the recovery frames, the first number is if Tamaki hits with the non- |
| CLEAN HIT version. If she misses or scores a CLEAN HIT, she recovers in |
| less frames. |

| Tamaki serves a tennis ball in an arc. |
| - PROJECTILE (1 durability point). KNOCKDOWN (v air). |
| - If Tamaki is close to the opponent, she also hits them with her racket as |
| she serves the tennis ball. 'A' adds one extra hit, and 'B' adds two. |
| - The arc of the B-version is usually never the same twice in a row, and |
| can shift slightly to curve upward sooner. |
| - Like Ryuuko`s volleyballs, Tamaki`s tennis balls are their own unique |
| sprite that only become active when struck by Tamaki. So it is possible |
| for Tamaki be pushed back out of range of hitting the ball, resulting in |
| the Hyaku Retsu Serve failing. (For example, hit a cornered opponent with |
| a f + B XX Light Hyaku Retsu Serve.) |

| - Depending on how it hits, the opponent will either be knocked to the |
| ground behind Tamaki, or popped up high into the air. The frame advantage |
| shifts depending on how far Tamaki is from the opponent. Further away |
| tends to yield a higher advantage on hit. The launcher that can sometimes |
| occur happens more frequently when hitting the opponent at point-blank |
| range, causing Tamaki to instead gain up to a +26 frame advantage. |

| Tamaki serves a tennis ball engulfed in fiery energy in an arc. |
| - PROJECTILE (1 durability point/hit). KNOCKDOWN. |
| - If Tamaki is close to the opponent, she also hits them with her racket as |
| she serves the tennis ball for an additional hit. |
| - Unlike the Hyaku Retsu Serve, the tennis ball only flies in a low arc. It |
| slides against the ground 12 frames after becoming active. It only arcs |
| back upward when it comes in contact with the opponent, hitting while it |
| glides up upward across their body. The further out the opponent is from |
| Tamaki, the less amount hits the tennis ball will score. At full screen |
| distance, only 2-3 hits will connect, yet at point-blank range, Tamaki |
| can get 8+ hits. She tends to get the full amount of hits if she catches |
| an aerial opponent jumping right in front of her. Or to combo into it |
| after hitting with a Standing Heavy. |

| ground version for free. This isn`t an overly powerful Saishuu, so Torami |
| or it aren`t banned in any tournament play. However, it just is normally |
| made sure that the player has full meter if they intend to use it. |
| - Omits landing frames recovery. |

Festival 5 : SYSTEM DISSECTION | ----------------- ( Asuka 120% Limited )
=====================================
The following sections help to break down the game system and mechanics which
are involved in `Asuka 120% Limited´ (A120L) and assist both new and veteran
players further understand the game`s inner workings. A120L is quite a step up
from its predecessor `Excellent,´ featuring brand new sprites, additional and
altered attacks, and a much more solid core system. In essence, `Limited´ is
far from just being a fresh coat of paint and plays like a brand new game.
Descriptions concerning movement, controls, and motions should be taken as if
the character is on the 1P (left) side of the screen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .01 )
MOVEMENT: WALKING / DASHING / JUMPING / TWO-DAN JUMP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- [ Walking ] ------------------------------------------------------------+
- Hold forward ( ——> ) or back ( <—— )
Each character can walk forward and backward on the playing field by holding
the joystick. As your character is moving backward, it doubles as a standing
guard which will protect them against any incoming MID and HIGH attacks.
While A120L can be fast-paced, walking is not a bad method of mobility to get
around the playing field. It may not cover as much ground and distance as
dashing or jumping would, but can make it easier to position your character if
specific placement is needed. Unlike with special move frame data, there is no
unit of measurement to calculate walking speeds. Characters walk at different
velocities, and some move much faster than others.
Megumi walks the fastest both forward and backward, so her walking speed is
set as a benchmark to compare everyone else against her:
- FORWARD WALK SPEED (expressed as a percentage of Megumi`s forward speed)
Megumi - 100% speed
Kiyoko - 95% speed
Asuka, Shinobu - 92% speed
Karina - 89% speed
Tetsuko - 85% speed
Kumi - 83% speed
Nana, Torami - 80% speed
Gen`ichirou - 77% speed
Ryuuko - 74% speed
Cathy, Tamaki - 70% speed
- BACKWARD WALK SPEED (expressed as a percentage of Megumi`s backward speed)
Megumi - 100% speed (2.85s to cross stage)
Kiyoko - 90% speed (3.15s to cross stage)
Asuka, Shinobu - 86% speed (3.30s to cross stage)
Karina, Tetsuko - 83% speed (3.43s to cross stage)
Kumi - 74% speed (3.85s to cross stage)
Nana, Torami - 71% speed (4.00s to cross stage)
Gen`ichirou - 69% speed (4.15s to cross stage)
Ryuuko - 66& speed (4.32s to cross stage)
Cathy - 60% speed (4.75s to cross stage)
Tamaki - 59% speed (4.85s to cross stage)
+-- [ Dashing ] ------------------------------------------------------------+
- Tap f,f or b,b (with no more than 14 frames separating the inputs)
Characters all have the ability to increase the speed of their movement either
forward or backward with the use of dashing. This is accomplished by quickly
double-tapping the joystick forward or backward within 14 frames. If there is
a larger frame gap between the taps, the character will perform no action.
Dashes cover a lot more ground than normal walking, also in a much faster time
period. This will essentially be the main method of movement around the screen
to close distances and evade quickly during the course of combat.
Forward dashing is used as a means to aggressively get in toward the opponent
as quickly as possible. It also provides momentum, which allows the character
to get in "deeper" against an opponent to attack. They last a specific amount
of frames for one full dash duration (depending on the character); however,
forward dashing can be extended by tapping forward while the character is in
motion. There`s no need to double-tap to perform this, just as long as forward
is pressed before the character`s dash animation ends. Each time forward is
pressed, it adds on one full dash duration to the already mobile character.
(Forward must be tapped, it cannot be held.)
- FORWARD DASH DURATIONS (expressed in total frames)
Asuka, Gen`ichirou, Megumi - 25 frames
Karina, Kiyoko, Kumi, Ryuuko - 24 frames
Cathy, Nana, Shinobu, Tetsuko - 23 frames
Tamaki - 20 frames
Torami - 17 frames
Dashing can be canceled by pressing back or down-back on the joystick before
it ends, halting their forward momentum immediately.
Megumi and Ryuuko both have forward dashes where they roll into a ball along
the ground. This allows them pass underneath some attacks and projectiles.
Backdashing is the method to backpedal swiftly, allowing the player to retreat
out of situations. They also have one ideal property that makes them great for
defensive purposes. All backdashes have the character hop backward; involving
several frames in the air, and then finally landing. Every character has a
certain amount of frames during their aerial hop where they are invulnerable,
disallowing them from being thrown, struck, or hit with a projectile! So you
can time a backdash after you get up from being knocked down to avoid attacks,
pulling your character to safety.
Each character`s invulnerability phase make them completely invincible to all
attacks and damage. These change depending on the character; some having much
longer periods of invincibility than others.
After the hop is complete, the character lands to the ground and is forced
into 2 frames of grounded recovery. During this brief period, they are unable
to guard.
Like with forward dashing, backdashing can also be extended by tapping back on
the joystick while the character is hopping. This causes the character to hop
back over and over again, clearing a distance swiftly in reverse. Additionally
this also cancels one of the 2 grounded recovery frames, cutting down their
vulnerability by 50%!
- BACKWARD DASH DURATIONS (expressed in total frames)
Karina, Torami - 12 frames (7 frames invulnerable)
Kumi - 12 frames (5 frames invulnerable)
Cathy - 11 frames (9 frames invulnerable)
Tetsuko - 11 frames (8 frames invulnerable)
Kiyoko, Tamaki - 11 frames (5 frames invulnerable)
Shinobu - 10 frames (8 frames invulnerable)
Asuka - 10 frames (7 frames invulnerable)
Gen`ichirou - 10 frames (6 frames invulnerable)
Megumi, Nana - 10 frames (5 frames invulnerable)
Ryuuko - 9 frames (5 frames invulnerable)
The above chart shows each character`s full backdash duration, including the 2
frames of their grounded recovery. For instance, Kumi`s backdash lasts for 12
frames: 10 aerial, and the 2 grounded. The first 5 of those aerial frames are
her invulnerable period, where attacks can`t damage her. If she is trying to
evade a projectile, she will manage to completely avoid it for those first 5
frames——even if it`s overlapping her. However on that 6th frame, since she is
still in air and cannot guard, the projectile will connect to damage her. Both
Cathy and Shinobu have the best backdashes in the game——the entire duration
they are in the air they are invulnerable, making them able to easily avoid
projectiles and long active attacks!
Unique to the `Asuka 120%´ series, forward dashing also causes a position
switch. Position switching is done whenever a character meets up against the
opponent during their dash. Unlike many other fighting games, characters will
not collide when they dash toward each other. Instead the dashing character
will pass over the opponent, leaping backward on their other side with their
standard backdash animation. (Complete with the same properties.) A character
will not position switch against an opponent who is -fully- in the corner. (If
there is any sort of gap between the opponent and the corner, the player can
still position switch.)
That hopping/backdash animation can be negated with timing during a position
switch, by performing an attack the moment both characters are overlapped.
This will instead cause the dashing character to slide past the opponent while
attacking. However this attack will be performed in the direction they were
initially dashing.
+-- [ Jumping ] ------------------------------------------------------------+
- Normal Jump: Tap any upward direction while grounded
- Dash Jump: Tap up-forward while forward dashing
- High Jump: Tap down, then any upward direction within 8 frames
Jumping is the direct way to get a character airborne. There are two types of
jumps: normal and high jumps. After input, the character goes into a pre-jump
state for 2 frames, then leave the ground on the 3rd frame. Characters are
vulnerable to attacks during the pre-jump frames. If they are hit during, they
will go into crouching hitstun.
Jumping either vertically or diagonally lasts the same amount of frames.
After landing from a jump, characters go into landing recovery. This typically
lasts either 3-4 frames (yet Tetsuko`s lasts 6 frames). Landing frames are not
necessarily important because all but the 1st frame can be canceled into an
attack, movement, or guarding.
- JUMP DURATIONS (expressed in frames; in order by fastest normal jump)
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+---------------
Character | Pre-jump | Normal Jump | High Jump | Landing Frames
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+---------------
Tetsuko 2 20 29 6
Shinobu 2 20 30 4
Nana 2 20 31 3
Karina 2 21 29 2

Tamaki 2 22 28 4
Megumi 2 22 31 3
Cathy 2 23 28 4
Kumi 2 23 30 3
Dash Jumping is an extended forward jump. As the character is forward dashing,
pressing up-forward will cause the character to vault much further across the
screen; twice as far than what a normal jump would reach. The amount of frames
do not change, just the distance becomes greater.
High Jumps are leaps that ascend the character nearly twice as high than a
normal jump. They are performed by first tapping down on the joystick, then
swiftly tap any upward direction. The alternate method preprogrammed into the
game is to simply press the R-shoulder button. Using the latter, high jumps
will have no pre-jump frames, immediately vaulting the character off the
ground on the frame that the button is pressed!
Since high jumping goes so far upward, it causes the playing screen to shift
to follow the character`s movement. High jumping characters can alter their
airborne trajectory in a way that normal jumping characters cannot via air
control - simply hold forward or back to influence the jump arc. (There is a
slight variance between degrees of air control between characters.) It is also
possible to perform a high jump after a dash.
+-- [ Two-Dan Jump ] -------------------------------------------------------+
- Tap any upward direction while airborne
Two-dan Jumps (pronounced 'daun'; better known as a "double jump") are normal
jumps that are performed after a character has already left the ground with a
jump. Double jumping is possible for all characters, and follow the rules of a
high jump. Meaning you are able to air control the arc by holding forward or
back, but only the second jump. Double jumps can be performed off a high jump,
and the second jump can also be in a different upward direction from the
previous (ie - the first jump can be up-forward, and the second up-back).
Most aerial Light and Heavy basic attacks are cancelable by a double jump.
(Jumping AB attacks can also be jump canceled, but some characters have a much
easier time doing it than others.) Simply tap an upward direction during these
moves and the characters will immediately cancel the attack with the double
jump. This grants potential during air combos, and provide some rather insane
mix-up potential. For example, you can jump in with an attack, then double
jump cancel it on impact to propel your character over and behind the opponent
to attack again. Or jump forward and perform air pokes and anticipate the
opponent`s movement and reaction, then hit confirm and jump cancel the attacks
and transition to a combo when they`re successful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .02 )
ATTACKING: BASIC / COMMAND / DASHING / COUNTER ATTACK
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- [ Basic ] --------------------------------------------------------------+
- Press 'A' or 'B' button
`Asuka 120% Limited´ utilizes two attack buttons: Light ('A') and Heavy ('B').
Stereotypically, the 'Light' attack is very fast to execute, but does little
damage. Whereas the 'Heavy' attack is powerful, but much slower.
Basic attacks (sometimes called "normals" or "buttons") are every character`s
standard form of offense. They require no special or complex inputs to execute
(eg - Standing Heavy Punch). These types of attacks vary on their properties
depending on if the character is standing, crouching, jumping, or dashing.
Basic attacks can also be canceled into one another as a chain combo, or into
command attacks (See section 5.11). Most basic attacks can also be canceled
with jumps or dashes.
Some characters can perform several Light jumping attacks from one jump, while
others can only do a single one——this also goes for Heavys. However, everyone
(except Asuka) can aggressively perform aerial Heavy attacks in a rapid fire
succession by holding forward on the joystick while rapidly pressing 'B'. This
causes the Heavy attacks to cancel out one another each time the button is
pressed, but only after the attack has reached its first active frame. Because
of this, some characters will be able to perform several Heavys faster than
others. Cathy can only perform about 3-4 off a high jump due to her 7-frame
Jumping Heavy, yet Shinobu can get up to 8 as hers is only 5 frames. This sort
of canceling can be rather aggressive when jumping in at the opponent, poking
at them with several Heavy attacks in a row.
- AERIAL ATTACK RAPIDITY
------------------------+------------------------+-------------------------
Character | Aerial Light Rate | Rapid Heavy Trick
------------------------+------------------------+-------------------------
Asuka Rapid fire ——
Cathy Rapid fire O
Gen`ichirou Single O
Karina Rapid fire O
Kiyoko Single O
Kumi Single O
Megumi Single O
Nana Single O
Ryuuko Single O
Shinobu Rapid fire O
Tamaki Single O
Tetsuko Rapid fire O
Torami Single O
+-- [ Command ] ------------------------------------------------------------+
Command attacks are alternate forms of normal moves that occur when a specific
direction is held in conjunction with the button press. These are specialized
basic attacks that often have unique properties over the their basic attack
counterparts, like being HIGH overheads or extended LOW attacks. For example,
Torami`s Standing Light is a MID palm thrust, but when you motion back on the
joystick while pressing A, she does a LOW kick instead. Every character has a
'df + Light' command attack, in addition to two center attacks.
- Press f + A or f + B on the ground
Center attacks are a pair of command attacks that all characters possess, and
are the foundation for Target Combos (See section 5.11). They are typically
stronger than basic Light attacks, but weaker than Heavys. Many of them cause
the character to advance, making them slide forward while they attack.
+-- [ Dashing ] ------------------------------------------------------------+
- Hold forward and press 'A' or 'B' while forward dashing
Dashing attacks are mobile attacks performed during a character`s forward dash
duration. Like command attacks, these also possess their own animation and
hit properties. Tamaki`s Standing Heavy pops the opponent into the air, but
her Dashing Heavy is both OTG-capable and launches. Dashing attacks only apply
to standing attacks, so pressing down-forward will just give the character`s
normal crouching attack.
It should be noted that holding forward while attacking during a dash will
ensure getting the dashing attack, else the character will stop in place and
perform their normal Standing attack. This may sometimes be important in what
type of attack you want to use, so either holding down forward or not on the
joystick will help differentiate between them.
+-- [ Counter Attack ] -----------------------------------------------------+
- Press A + B simultaneously / C-button
Pressing the Light and Heavy attacks together performs a Counter Attack (also
known as a 'C-Attack'). This can be taken literally because it can be used as
a reprisal against the opponent after guarding their attacks, aside from being
a very powerful basic attack in itself. When used, the character flashes white
and glimmers with sparkles surrounding them as they attack.
Counter Attacks only have a standing and jumping attack state. Using it while
crouching will instead perform the standing version.
C-Attacks always cause the fighter to face their opponent. This only applies
if an aerial Counter is used as your character is jumping over a grounded
opponent, of it the opponent jumps over your grounded fighter. Unlike Light
and Heavy attacks, the Counter Attack causes the fighter to flip to face the
opponent on the first attack frame, so that the attack comes out toward them
rather than be thrown in the vacant direction the character originally faces.
A Counter Attack subtracts 6.25% of the character`s Burning Gauge energy, but
it can still be performed even if there is no energy in the meter. Energy will
be taken away even when the Burning Gauge is at 100%, but will not lessen the
meter from 120%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .03 )
GUARDING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guarding is the art of defense, and a highly fundamental part of any fighting
game. Learning to guard properly can make or break a player, and should be one
of, if not the most important tactic to master in the beginning. Guarding an
attack negates most or all of its potential damage.
Characters are able to guard against attacks in three ways:
------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------
Guard Type | Defensive Input | Guards Against | Vulnerable To
------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------
Standing Guard Hold back HIGHs & MIDs LOWs, throws
Crouching Guard Hold down-back LOWs & MIDs HIGHs, throws
Air Guard Hold any 'back' —— Air throws
Guarding is accomplished by holding a backward direction (away from opponent)
while your character is not otherwise occupied performing an attack or action.
Guarding correctly places your character in a state called 'guardstun'. The
length of guardstun is dependent on the attack that caused it; stronger
attacks tend to inflict a longer guardstun duration. For example, guarding
Torami`s Standing Light causes 6 frames of guardstun, but her Standing Heavy
inflicts 13 frames.
While a character is in guardstun, they have numerous countering options open
to them (See section 5.04).
Holding back on the joystick as your character is being attacked has them take
up a standing defensive stance which protects them against both MID- and HIGH-
level attacks. (HIGH attacks typically included all jumping/aerial attacks and
overhead-type moves.)
Alternately, holding down-back on the joystick as your character is being
attacked has them take up a crouching defensive stance, which protects them
against both MID- and LOW-level attacks. (This is typically the way you want
to guard most of the time while on the ground.)
In the air, you can guard by holding any of the back directions (b, ub, or db)
as you are being attacked. You don`t have to worry about HIGH or LOW attacks
when guarding in midair. As this does lower your blocking variables, you are
now susceptible to air throws.
Throwing attacks——normal throws, air throws, and command throws (eg - Cathy`s
Triple Headbutt)——can`t be guarded.
Kiyoko and Ryuuko both have Saishuu Oku attacks which have an unblockable
property. Details are given in each of their specific sections.
While guarding is a way to protect your character from taking a lot of damage,
there are attacks which will still tick away at the character`s life bar. Most
special moves and Super attacks deal damage even when guarded——this is called
'chip damage'. Chip damage amounts to about 30% of the damage an attack would
have caused if it wasn`t guarded. Typically basic attacks do not chip.
Every character`s Counter Attack——both Standing and Jumping——also causes chip
damage to the opponent. On default damage settings, Counter Attacks will not
chip for every single usage. Usually every second or third one will inflict
chip damage while the others in between will not. This can differ slightly for
multi-hitting Counter Attacks, like Asuka`s Standing Counter. In which case
the 3rd hit will be the one to cause chip damage on every single usage.
Unlike most fighting games, a character can`t lose a match from chip damage in
`Asuka 120%.´ If a character has no health remaining in their life gauge,
throwing out special attacks to try and gain a victory by 'chipping them out'
won`t work. Their life meter remains at zero and only a direct hit against
them must be scored to win.

COUNTERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Counters are a category of techniques a character can perform while they are
in guardstun. They are a means to either counterattack or maneuver after a
defense has been taken to help get out of a damaging situation or put the
character back on the offensive. There are six types of counters available
while guarding a non-throwing attack:
- Attack Counter (AB / C during guardstun)
Your character counterattacks with their Standing A + B attack.
Subtracts 6.25% Burning Gauge energy.
- Special Attack Counter (Input command notation during guardstun)
Your character counterattacks with that specific Hissatsu Waza.
(Input 'd,d + B' and Nana counters with her Heavy Ushiwaka no Mai.)
- Dash Counter (Press f,f during guardstun)
Your character advances forward with a dash.
(If done close to the opponent, can position switch to their other side.)
- Backstep Counter (Press b,b during guardstun)
Your character hops backward.
- High Jump Counter (Press d,ub~uf / R-shoulder during guardstun)
Your character leaps upward. It is possible to double jump from this.
- Switch Counter (b + A / B during guardstun)
Your character advances forward with a hop.
Subtracts 5% Burning Gauge energy.
(This is essentially a backdash -toward- the opponent, and it possesses all
of the same properties. Can position switch the characters if done close,
and will even do it even if the opponent is deep in the corner.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .05 )
DEFLECTIONS / "CLASH"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deflections work in a similar fashion to the blocking/parrying system from
`Street Fighter III,´ except it requires the character to be offensive rather
than defensive. When attacks collide into one another, they can usually cancel
one another out. This goes for both physical and projectile attacks. Meaning
if two characters standing near each another attack at the same time with a
Standing Light, a *clash!* sound will be heard upon impact, along with a burst
of pink/purple sparks. Each attack will have stopped the other, resulting in
no damage caused by either.
Regardless of the attack`s strength, it can be Deflected. A Light attack can
stop another Light attack, or it can be used to stop a Heavy attack. Counter/
C-Attacks can even be Deflected by a lesser strength attack. There is no real
limitation to the use of Deflections, other than the attacks` hitboxes have to
be able to collide. For example, Tamaki`s Crouching Heavy is a LOW attack with
a rather large upward hitbox due to her swinging her tennis racket. (It can go
as far as Megumi`s head level.) Nana`s Standing Light is a MID palm thrust.
The two hitboxes will overlap one another so it is possible for those attacks
to Deflect each other.
Certain special Attacks can also be Deflected by the same methods. Normally if
a projectile is thrown——such as Asuka`s Enshin Hasai Ken——one would have to
throw one in return to nullify it. While that still holds true, that isn`t the
only way to deal with them. A character can literally attack the projectile
with a basic attack move which would cancel the damage it would do.
Another method to Deflect attacks is to dash against them. Forward dashing has
an autoguard property that can be used to stop damage against projectiles and
physical attacks. If Asuka throws a Enshin Hasai Ken, Cathy can dash toward it
and auto-Deflect the blast to take no damage from it! This causes the dash to
prematurely end and Cathy to hop forward (in the same manner she would during
a Switch Counter), leaving her with invulnerable frames to avoid any oncoming
attacks that may follow. While this method can be used against most physical
attacks, like Heavys and Counters, many Light attacks are difficult to Deflect
with a forward dash, if not impossible. Keep in mind also that the character
will only perform a hop when they dash against single-strike attacks. Against
multi-hitting attacks, you must continue to tap forward as the character is
being attacked, sometimes tapping as many times as there are hits——in which
case it does feel like parrying in `Street Fighter III´.
Like with Counters, throwing techniques can`t be Deflected.
Unlike the aforementioned `SF3´ parrying system, the flaw with Deflections
center around the lack to control the speed in which you can perform them. The
characters` attack speeds vary, so each Deflection will not always be flawless
or planned. Using an attack to Deflect another has the character go through
the same amount of active and recovery frames as they would if they hit the
opponent. Also it`s hard to Deflect multi-hitting attacks (eg - Asuka`s Mach
Jab) with a series of chained normal attacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .06 )
THROWING / THROW ON HIT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- [ Throwing ] -----------------------------------------------------------+
- When close to an opponent on the ground, b / f + B
- When close to an opponent in the air, press any direction (except up) + B.
Throws (Nage) are unblockable close range moves that each character possesses
at least one of. They are ideal for assaulting an opponent who is guarding.
Throws can`t be used against opponents who are caught in either guardstun or
hitstun, or actively guarding something. However as soon as the opponent goes
back to neutral stance, they can be thrown. There are two types: ground throws
and kuuchuu (air) throws.
Throws can`t be used against opponents who are stuck inside of guardstun and
hitstun, or actively guarding something. However as soon as the opponent goes
back to neutral stance, they can be thrown. There are two types: ground throws
and kuuchuu (air) throws.
All characters are able to perform a ground throw by either pressing back or
forward on the joystick as the Heavy button is pressed. This can prove to be
very important to determine which direction the opponent is thrown on screen.
(For example, if you are on the 1P/left side of the screen and press back + B,
the opponent will be thrown toward the left side, thus switching places with
your character.)
Aerial throws are performed by pressing any direction on the joystick (except
any upward) and pressing the Heavy button. The direction in which the opponent
is thrown cannot be controlled, so will always be done whichever way that the
character is facing.
Normal throws (both ground and air) can be escaped by pressing forward or back
+ B during the first few frames of being thrown, before the attack animation.
Some characters have a longer throw break window than others (a mechanic that
is typically found in 3D games). Asuka`s ground throw must be broken within 8
frames of being grabbed, yet Karina`s can be broken in 11 frames. When a throw
is broken, the throwing character still goes through their attack animation.
This can leave them vulnerable, but sometimes that attack is still able to hit
and cause damage. (ie - Karina`s kick still has a hitbox). Command throws (eg
- Cathy`s Shoulder Crash) can`t be escaped.

Cathy Ryuuko Asuka Tetsuko
Kiyoko Shinobu Gen`ichirou
Kumi Tamaki Karina
Megumi Torami Nana
Asuka and Nana both have ground throws that inflict no damage. However, they
throw the opponent into the air in which they are unable to recover, allowing
for free attacks to follow.
Cathy and Megumi both have more than just normal and air throws. Megumi has an
ender to her Fumifumi Nokkari that throws the opponent, which is actually just
her air throw. Cathy has three command throws.
For whatever reason, which might be due to programming errors or odd hitboxes,
it is possible for five characters to air throw a grounded opponent: Kumi,
Megumi, Ryuuko, Shinobu, and Torami. It requires the jumping player to be very
deep against the grounded opponent, and inputting the throw command about 3-4
frames before landing. This then causes the opponent to be "magically" caught
in the air throw, confined to the same damage and properties that would happen
if they were actually in the air!
+-- [ Throw on Hit ] -------------------------------------------------------+
Throw on Hit moves are attacks which are guardable, and deal damage during an
uninterruptible animation only if they hit the opponent. Unlike normal throws,
throw on hit attacks connect on the opponent in either hitstun or guardstun.
Cathy`s Dashing Heavy is an example of a normal attack throw on hit. If
guarded, she performs a swinging elbow strike that hits twice. However if it
hits, the opponent will be caught by Cathy and taken down to the ground in a
flying clothesline-type attack. Because of this property, Cathy is able to use
it in combos, to catch after hitting with a Crouching Heavy, for instance.
Ryuuko`s Quick Driver is an example of a special move throw on hit, where she
leaps forward while swinging her arms in a hammer-like punch. On guard, Ryuuko
simply lands after her attack. Should it connect, she instead goes into the
full animation of picking up the opponent and executing a jumping backbreaker.
Throw on Hit attacks cannot be escaped.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .07 )
PROJECTILES & DURABILITY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Projectiles have their own unique value check that occurs whenever different
projectiles collide into one another, or when Deflecting: durability points.
Durability points (DP) are the hidden amount of strength that projectiles will
carry with them. All projectiles have their own worth that determines how much
power is needed to cancel it. For some projectiles, their durability is equal
to the amount of hits they do, but that is not always the case. Whenever two
projectiles collide, they will mutually deplete durability according to their
DP ratings. As durability is taken away, it also decreases the amount of hits
(and damage) the projectile can potentially do in full.
For example, Tetsuko`s Enshin Hasai Ken has 1DP, but Kiyoko`s Dai-League
Softball 8-gou has 3DP. When these two projectiles collide, Kiyoko`s softball
will nullify Tetsuko`s blast due to having a higher durability. However, the
blast will still deplete one of the softball`s durability points in return, in
addition to one of its hits. The softball wins this exchange, and carries over
across the screen. Should it hit Tetsuko, it will only score four hits instead
of its normal five.
Using physical attacks to Deflect projectiles will do so at a rate of 1DP per
strike. So to stop Kumi`s Stick Shot requires just one attack, but Asuka`s
Enshin Ren Satsu Ken will need eight attacks to completely nullify. Forward
dashing will not deplete a projectile`s durability, but require a dash input
for each durability point it needs to pass through.
Projectiles with zero durability points (eg - Karina`s Kerokero Angler) cannot
be nullified; but in return, they can`t nullify other projectiles either.
Ryuuko`s Inazuma Serve has an infinite amount of durability after it hits the
opponent and is bouncing around before fading out of sight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .08 )
LIFE GAUGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tairyoku ("vitality") Gauges are the yellow bars placed at the top of the
screen on either side of the round timer——Player 1`s is on the left side and
Player 2`s is the right. Each player`s life gauge begins with a full 96 units
of health. During battle, attacks take away certain amount of life units based
on how they hit the opponent. The red area is how much stamina a character has
lost thus far. Once the entire meter is red, that means all their life points
are gone and the character is defeated. The round goes to the winner.
No characters are able to regain life through special abilities.
If the time expires, the character with the most life wins the round. If the
bars are equal, the match is considered a draw and another round will begin.
A120L does not follow the typical fighting game rule of thumb of having the
bulkier characters take less damage, and smaller characters take more damage.
After some experimentation, it appears that all characters virtually have the
same amount stamina and take the same amount of damage from attacks. But this
is all mashed up in how damage sometimes seems random from special attacks and
Last Hearts. In some testing phases, I used Tetsuko`s Enshin Ren Satsu Ken to
determine how many would it take to defeat an opponent using default settings.
Typically it would take four, in addition to a couple of basic attacks. But at
times I could defeat the same opponent with just three. I`m at the assumption
that there is damage scaling, but it can reset depending on how an opponent is
hit by certain attacks or slammed against the corner wall.
The resetting factor is further strengthened in that combos can prematurely be
assumed to end in the middle of attacks. This happens especially for Cathy and
Megumi`s respective Last Hearts, where a RUSH combo will pop up while Cathy or
Megumi is still in the middle of their Super. Because of this, the damage will
then -reset- and character will take another full damage 100% hit from one of
the later strikes. This only seems to happen with Cathy and Megumi who each
have "attack rush" type Super attacks, yet Kumi`s Ribbon Slicer has never had
this happen during my trials.
The phenomenon that is known throughout the fighting game community as the
"magic pixel" is actually present in A120L. For those that are unfamiliar with
what that is, essentially it is an amount of undocumented stamina that is not
visibly seen in the life gauge. So even after all the yellow bar is depleted,
or looking to have been, the character will still be 'alive' because of the
elusive "magic pixel". With the lack of an absolute way of finding out exactly
the amount of stamina characters have, it can only be assumed that perhaps the
amount of hidden vitality is around 4 units worth. Which would then total 100
units of health in full for all the characters——but that is just speculation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .09 )
BURNING GAUGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Burning Gauges are each located at the bottom of the screen, parallel to
the life bars——Player 1`s is on the left side and Player 2`s is the right.
Energy is added and taken away from the gauges regularly throughout the fight
through a myriad of interactions. Burning Gauge meter is mainly needed for
performing a powerful technique called a Saishuu Oku ("Last Heart").
- BUILDING BURNING GAUGE METER (in order of effectiveness):
Karina`s Kero-pyon Setup ability (qcb + A / B)
Deflecting attacks with attacks or a dash
Hitting the opponent with an attack
Being hit with an attack
Opponent guarding your character`s attack
Guarding the opponent`s attack
Once the Burning Gauge has been filled, a "100%" appears within the bar. That
enables the character to perform one Saishuu Oku attack. Once the Last Heart
is used, the bar empties out to 0%. A 100% Burning Gauge will last until it is
used by the player.
However, the Burning Gauge can be filled past the 100% mark. While it is not
visibly seen, the gauge has an overstock of an additional 20% energy. This
causes the Burning Gauge to reach an "120%" mark, which ignites the bar into
flames. The character will also rapidly blink an orange hue. During this time,
the character can perform unlimited Last Hearts until the Burning Gauge meter
dissipates. This 120% gauge lasts for 340 frames (~11.33 seconds). When the
120% is about to expire, the flames start to extinguish and fade before the
gauge empties.
Burning Gauge energy is able to transcend rounds, even when filled to both
100% and 120%. However in Ranking Mode, energy does not carry over toward the
next opponent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .10 )
HITSTUN / HITSTOP / HIT STATES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Hitstun' is the counterpart to guardstun: a state that happens to a character
when they are successfully struck with an attack. During this time a character
will reel from an attack after being hit, leaving them vulnerable. Victimized
characters in hitstun cannot do anything. Like with guardstun, hitstun length
is dependent on the attack that caused it; stronger attacks tend to inflict a
longer hitstun duration. For example, Tamaki`s Standing Light causes 7 frames
of hitstun, but her Standing Counter inflicts 12 frames. Hitting a character
while they are stuck in hitstun results in creating a combo.
It usually goes unnoticed, but there is a brief period that happens whenever a
character is hit that causes the game to momentarily freeze for a small number
of frames. This happens in just about every fighting game (except the earlier
`Mortal Kombat´ games), and it is used as an aesthetic to emphasize the force
of the attacks. It is known as 'hitstop,' or sometimes called 'impact freeze'.
This occurs both on hits or guards, but the freeze is longer when a character
takes damage. It can be a minor factor when it comes to timing and execution,
but typically does not effect gameplay too much.
There are several types of reactions that occur whenever a character is hit
by an attack, whether on normal or counterhit. Most attacks just cause the
character to reel, while others inflict a special effect called a 'hit state':
- KNOCKDOWN
Attacks that send the opponent to the ground. After a moment, characters who
are knocked down simply rise in place. While the opponent is on the ground,
they are sometimes vulnerable to OTG-capable attacks which will inflict
additional damage. Attacks that cause Knockdowns typically pop the opponent
up a little into the air, where they are able to be hit with attacks before
hitting the ground.
- HARD KNOCKDOWN
Attacks that send the opponent to the ground at an increased velocity. Hard
Knockdowns are typically denoted by a large plume of dust and several orange
"sparks" that erupt from the ground where the opponent lands. Some attacks
cause additional damage when the opponent collides against the ground. The
opponent is also vulnerable to OTG-capable attacks.
- SPINNING KNOCKDOWN
Attacks that cause the opponent to spin violently around before hitting the
ground. Most attacks that cause a Spinning Knockdown pop the opponent very
high into the air initially. Like with Hard Knockdowns, they are denoted
with orange "sparks" that erupt at the point of impact. The opponent also
takes additional damage upon hitting the ground, and they are vulnerable to
OTG-capable attacks. However while the opponent is in the air and spinning,
they cannot be hit with attacks.
- FLYING SCREEN
Attacks that cause a special Spinning Knockdown which propels the opponent
across the screen in a horizontal flight, forcing the camera to follow their
movement until they crash into the wall. The player`s character will then be
forced to run forward back onscreen in pursuit.
- WALL SLAM (12 frame impact against wall)
Attacks which force the opponent to smash into the back wall if they are
near the corner, which causes additional damage and a Knockdown. Wall Slams
happen with all attacks that cause Flying Screen, but also occur from
attacks that force the opponent to reel back in a slide along the ground
(eg - Cathy`s Standing AB).
- LAUNCHES
Attack knocks the opponent into the air at an irrecoverable state, used
primarily to set them up to be juggled or air comboed with continued attacks
for additional damage. Launchers cause a normal Knockdown.
- STRIKE
Attack knocks the opponent into the air, but the opponent is able to aerial
recover before hitting the ground. (Because of this, there is no definite
amount of advantage provided.) However if they do land on the ground, the
opponent will instead bounce back onto their feet, leaving them invincible
for 20 frames. Strikes typically happen when aerial opponents are hit with
an attack, or when an opponent is struck with just one hit of some multi-hit
attacks that would normally cause a Knockdown (eg - being hit with only the
last kick of Shinobu`s Banchou Tornado). Every character`s Standing Heavy
attack causes a Strike. Hitting an opponent with a Strike-attack while they
are in the air from a Knockdown-attack will not allow them to quick recover.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .11 )
QUICK RECOVERY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- When hitting the ground, press up twice (u,u).
- When hitting the wall, press forward twice (f,f).
- When knocked into the air after a Strike, press up.
Quick Recovery is the act of "safe falling," where instead of the character
smashing against the ground or wall, they spring back to their feet. There are
three types: ground, wall, and kuuchuu (air) recoveries.
Quick Recoveries not only omit the animation frames of standing, but it stops
additional damage caused when the character is hit with Flying Screen, Hard
Knockdown, or Spinning Knockdown attacks as they propel toward the ground or
wall. During a recovery, the character flashes green, which renders them
invincible to all attacks for 13 frames until they are back to their feet.
Recoveries from Strike attacks can only be done after the affected player has
reached their launched apex. After which the player may press up on the
joystick to have the character recover in the air. That character is allowed
to attack before they even hit the ground.
All types of knockdowns are able to be quick recovered from to omit the extra
environmental damage or OTG-capable attacks that can be inflicted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .12 )
RUSH COMBO / CHAINS / JUGGLES / TARGET COMBOS / LINKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- [ RUSH Combo / Chains ] ------------------------------------------------+
RUSH Combos are sequences of basic attacks chained together by pressing attack
buttons one after another. All basic attacks chain upward in strength, from
(L) Light to (H) Heavy to (C) Counter. Chains are possible while standing,
crouching, or aerial. Everyone can perform a full chain, but may not be able
to combo together all of their attacks.
The A120L combo engine basically follows a "Marvel Series" (Light Alternating)
archetype. Meaning that characters may chain together each of their attacks
from weakest to strongest, but only allow alternating between standing and
crouching Light attacks. Heavy attacks cannot chain into one another, and
there are no crouching Counter attacks. (Ryuuko is the only exception who can
chain her Crouching Heavy into itself.)
Light < ----- > Crouching Light ----- > Heavy ----- > Counter
(A) (c.A) (B) (C)
Because of the Strike hit state created from all Standing Heavy attacks, most
characters will have a difficult time chaining in the Counter attack. Thus
using a Crouching Heavy > Counter works better. (Cathy is an exception who can
chain either hit of her Standing Heavy into the Counter.)
Attacks must increase in strength to keep the RUSH Combo going. You are not
allowed to go from a Heavy back down to Light.
Due to their speed, all characters have the ability to chain Light attacks
into each other repeatedly. This is called "Rapid Fire Light Attacks."
Whenever desired, you can then transition from the rapid fire light attacks
into the rest of the RUSH Combo chain.
Some characters are able to skip the Heavy attack and instead chain directly
from Light to Counter (ie - c.Light > s.Light > Counter).
Chaining Light into Heavy can sometimes be a little frustrating, believe it or
not. While it`s simple in execution, there is also a bit of timing involved to
get it to work correctly. `Limited´ has an engine that incorporates the Capcom
'negative edge' mechanic, where button presses register on release as well as
the initial press. This is typically used for the purposes of performing some
special moves, where the release activates the attack. However in `Limited´
the button`s input time lingers some after it has been released. Thus the game
still reads the button being used. If you press Heavy after a Light within 5
frames after its execution, the game reads it as -both- buttons being hit, and
instead the character will chain a Light into a Counter. So on hit you must
wait until the character is pulling out of their Light active frames before
chaining into a Heavy. Alternatively, you can just hold Light after pressing
it and press Heavy to chain, overriding the negative edge mechanic entirely.
+-- [ Juggles ] ------------------------------------------------------------+
Juggling is the ability to combo the opponent while they are in the air, stuck
in aerial hitstun. This coincides with "air combos," made famous by the Capcom
`Versus´ series.
Juggling the opponent is more rampant in `Asuka 120% Limited´ than it is some
other fighting games. Due to the amount of OTG-capable attacks that can bounce
the opponent back into the air, juggling is one of the prominent methods of
doing additional damage after attacks that knock the opponent down or pop them
into the air.
While loose in appearance, the juggling system does have rules:
- You`re allowed to freely juggle the opponent for up to an 8 RUSH. If your
ground combo exceeds that count before knocking the opponent into the air,
you`re allowed one juggle only if it`s scored off some type of cancel (ie
- Shinobu ending a 9 RUSH ground combo with a c.Heavy, then canceling into
a Hissatsu Megaton Dynamite).
- The opponent won`t fall out of a juggle after an 8 RUSH unless the duration
between the hits exceeds 10 frames. So for the more complex juggle combos,
it requires timed attacks to keep the combo going past the threshold.
- A Wall Slam allows a follow-up juggle to be used against the opponent as
they are falling. This is irregardless on how many hits are in the RUSH
juggle prior to the Wall Slam. If the juggle ends with a second Wall Slam,
it will not allow another combo and the opponent will fall to the ground.
- If a opponent bounces off the ground prior to achieving an 8 RUSH juggle,
it is possible to hit them again with another attack if they do not perform
a Quick Recovery. However in most cases only one additional hit will score
rather than allow for a full juggle combo, even from multi-hitting attacks.
+-- [ Target Combos ] ------------------------------------------------------+
While all of the characters possess the basic chain combo system, there are
special combos, also known as a "target combo," which bypass the normal rules
of the chain structure. All characters have target combos, and each of them
begin with a f + A center attack. (Asuka, Kiyoko and Nana being exceptions who
also have two target combos that instead begin off f + B attacks.) Most target
combos involve different directional movements throughout. Below is an example
of one of Nana`s target combos:
- Hold f + A, A, d + B, f + B
This Target Combo works as follows: Hold forward on the joystick as you press
the A button, causing Nana to advance with her HIGH punch. While still holding
forward, press A again. Nana advances again with a MID palm thrust attack.
(Note that this attack is not part of Nana`s basic or command attacks; it`s a
unique follow-up to her f + A.) Now slide the joystick down and press the B
button, causing Nana to attack with her LOW slide, which knocks the opponent
off their feet. Before the opponent hits the ground, you can then hit f + B to
have Nana catch the opponent in mid-air and juggle them with a double sidekick
MID attack, which sends them flying across the screen.
Any "b + B" attacks in Target Combo strings equate to the character`s Standing
Heavy basic attack. All properties are the same.
Target Combos must connect against the opponent to continue. You can`t perform
them openly against the air.
+-- [ Links ] --------------------------------------------------------------+
Links are special combos that involve waiting until an attack has completely
finished its attack animation before striking again. These are much different
than chain combos, where the attack buttons are simply pressed in a sequence,
or cancel combos, in which the recovery periods are omitted by another action.
A120L is not a very link-intensive game; in fact, it`s very rare that they
even show themselves, but they are present.
An example of a link would be Nana`s 'df + Light, f + Light'. The LOW attack
provides Nana with a +7 frame advantage, giving her enough time to recover and
then attack with the f + A punch. Ryuuko`s f + Light can be linked after she
hits with her Dashing Light, allowing her to move into a Target Combo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .13 )
CANCELING / JUMP CANCELING / DASH CANCELING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To 'cancel' means to interrupt the recovery of one action into another action.
You are essentially circumventing all of the previous attack`s recovery frames
by doing a new attack or action. Most basic attacks are chain-cancelable into
other basic attacks or command attacks, or into special moves and Saishuu Oku
Waza. A120L has a very loose canceling engine by design, to allow much more
ease when it comes to performing combos.
At its most basic, a cancel looks like this: s.Light XX Kerokero Attack.
Karina can hit the opponent with her Standing Light kick, and while they are
still in hitstun, link into her Kerokero Attack (qcf + A) special attack, thus
creating a two-hit combo.
Older fighting game community (FGC) jargon for a cancel is called a "2-in-1,"
meaning to link 'two moves in one motion/command.'
Jump canceling is the method of interrupting an attack with a jump command. By
pressing up on the joystick, a character can cancel out of their attack and
jump into the air immediately after. The attack must reach their first active
frame before being jump canceled. Characters can jump cancel just about all of
their non-special attacks: basics, command attacks, center attacks, etc. All
positions (standing, crouching, jumping, dashing) can also be jump canceled.
(Cathy can jump cancel her Dashing Heavy before the throw mechanic connects.)
Dash canceling is the same as jump canceling, except you are interrupting the
attack with either a forward dash or backdash.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ( .14 )
CHARACTER WEIGHTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character weight is a factor when it comes to attacks that knockdown or launch
the opponent. Depending on how heavy the character is will determine how fast
they hit the ground after being knocked into the air. This can prove to be a
bit troublesome when it comes to figuring out frame advantage after knockdowns
and trying to juggle different opponents. The weight classes are not directly
related to the cosmetic weights listed in each character`s information.
All of the listed frame advantage in this guide is taken from Shinobu, who is
not the average weight class among the characters. This section will try and
help figure out around how many frames are added or loss when fighting others.
'Knockdown Change' refers to applying the change to attacks that immediately
knock the opponent down (eg - Crouching Heavy), while 'Launcher Change' is for
those that send the opponent high into the air (eg - Torami`s Sou Ryuu Ken).
- CHARACTER WEIGHTS (in order from lightest to heaviest)
------------------------+------------------------+-------------------------
Character | Knockdown Change | Launcher Change
------------------------+------------------------+-------------------------
Megumi | About +2 advantage | About +4 advantage
Nana | About +1 advantage | About +2 advantage
Asuka, Karina, Shinobu | —— | ——
Kiyoko | —— | About -1 advantage
Kumi | About -1 advantage | About -1 advantage
Tamaki, Tetsuko | About -1 advantage | About -3 advantage
Ryuuko | About -2 advantage | About -4 advantage
Cathy, Torami | About -3 advantage | About -5 advantage
Gen`ichirou | About -4 advantage | About -6 advantage
For instance, Cathy`s Crouching Heavy gives her a +5 frame advantage if it`s
done against Shinobu, but gives a +7 on Megumi. Cathy`s Dashing Light causes a
+21 for Cathy if done on Shinobu, but only a +17 against Ryuuko since she is
slightly heavier.

DIZZY & RECOVERY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Dizzy occurs to a player when they have taken a substantial amount of heavy
attacks in succession. To which it will knock them down, and they stand up in
a dizzy status ailment. Their stance will look disoriented as stars revolve
around their heads. While dizzy, a player is left vulnerable until they manage
to recover out of it. (All actions become disabled; including guard, jumping,
attacking, recovers, and throw escapes.)
Unattended, a dizzy lasts 120 frames (4 seconds). To end the dizzy status
faster, rapidly press the buttons and rotate the joystick around.
Dizzies can happen in the middle of a combo, juggle or super attack. If that
occurs, the inflicted character can still be attacked during the dizzy and not
have it become broken. The 120 frame timer only begins after the character has
stood back up from the ground.

TIER LISTING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ - S Tier - ] [ - A Tier - ] [ - B Tier - ] [ - C Tier - ] [ - D Tier - ]
Cathy Wild Tamaki Shindou Asuka Honda Kiyoko Mitarai Kumi Ookubo
Torami Houjyou Nana Owada Karina Toyota Megumi Suzuki
Shinobu K. Tetsuko O.
Gen`ichirou S. Ryuuko Y.
Popular fighting games sites like Shoryuken.com have not yet, to my knowledge,
gotten around to breaking apart this game. There are some small details about
`Asuka 120% Final,´ but not much in-depth information. Despite what is shown
in the above tier list, `Limited´ is overall fairly balanced as far as how all
the characters play. For the most part all of them possess a good anti-air, a
projectile, okizeme potential, and solid juggling capabilities. A lot of the
'tier' breakdown actually boils down to each character`s damage output and how
aggressive they can be when played at high level. Both Cathy and Torami are
considered "S Tier" characters not because they are leaps and bounds better
than Megumi or Kumi, but rather have more ways to make use of their abilities.
In many of the online casuals I have played in and witnessed, characters like
Asuka, Nana and even Ryuuko have pulled off some impressive wins against the
likes of Cathy and Tamaki. This is one of those 'fun fighting' games where
the tiers can be really arbitrary because any of the characters can perform at
an "S Tier" level, but some just have it much easier than others.
A120L does not have a wide variety of play styles that one would find in more
modern games. There isn`t a character that mainly zones, or one that has some
special ability or feature that has to be "leveled up." (Cathy stands apart as
technically being a throw-based character.) For the most part, each character
can be played effectively as rushdown and up close against the opponent. From
there each character has their own unique ways of how to stay aggressive, but
it`s rare to see matches where one character is completely zoning on one side
of a stage, and another trying desperately to get into melee range.
[S] CATHY WILD: Cathy stands at the top of the hill as the game`s only throw-
based character, and she does it pretty damn well. She`s also quite mobile to
allow her to get close to the opponent without much problem. The goal with
Cathy is to maintain close range against the opponent, but -not- get them into
the corner. This is because you want to catch with either the Triple Headbutt
or Shoulder Crash as much as possible, but both of them have iffy hitboxes
against cornered opponents. If you ever find yourself getting into the corner,
attack with a Dashing Heavy which switches sides with the opponent.
[S-] TORAMI HOUJYOU: Torami is arguably the strongest character in the game,
with combos that can dizzy opponents with little work. Your goal with Torami
is easy: get close range, and hit with Crouching Heavy. The attack alone does
a significant amount of damage, and leads into Torami`s dash cancel combos.
Can mix-up between Crouching Heavy, db + Heavy, and throw, which all pop the
opponent into the air enough to perform the combos. Sou Ryuu Ken should also
be used often for its damage and launching capabilities, but be wary on using
it against crouching opponents since it can whiff and leave Torami vulnerable.
Even though Torami has a free Super, it doesn`t really make her more dangerous
than she already is. It gives her an additional means of okizeme, but by no
means makes her unbeatable. Utilizing High Jump Counters and Evades can catch
Torami during her aerial recovery to counterattack hard.
[A+] TAMAKI SHINDOU: Tamaki is a hybrid of a zoning and melee range fighter.
It seems as though she was probably supposed to be a strictly zoning character
before zoning got to the level that it is today. She has the tools, such as a
throw that sends opponents across the screen, and two projectile angles, but
Tamaki struggles to maintain keeping distance. Where she shines is her amazing
reach since most of her attacks leave an extended swipe motion with her tennis
racket. The goal with Tamaki is to lure the opponent in with her Hyaku Retsu
Serves, and catch with Kougeki V. It consistently leaves Tamaki right next to
a floating opponent, allowing her to continue with a juggle or Dynamite Serve
for amazing damage. Keep in mind that Tamaki is the slowest mobility character
in the game, so spamming tennis balls to keep the opponent away is viable.
[A] NANA OWADA: Nana`s peaceful demeanor should not deter you——underneath her
proud face is a fierce woman. She`s has great normal attacks and multi-hitting
specials that keep her on the offensive; plus, her reach rivals Gen`ichirou
and Tamaki. Nana`s goal is to force the opponent into the corner, which is
where she becomes a beast with her mix-up of Crouching Heavy, df + Light, and
f + Light. Should any of those attacks hit, cancel into a Heavy Resshuu Ha and
repeatedly bash them against the wall with it. They will be unable to quick
recover to escape, allowing Nana to hit with 6-7 in a row for over 40% damage!
[A] SHINOBU KAWASAKI: Shinobu is meant to be A120L`s version of Gouki, if it
wasn`t obvious enough. She doesn`t really have one specific goal like everyone
else does; Shinobu is actually quite versatile. Her juggles are some of the
strongest in the game, she can do decent zoning with her dual Banchou Bazooka,
and she has the only real infinite. Being a 'Shotokan' fighter, Shinobu is
quite easy to pick up and do damage fast. If anything, you want to abuse the
Hissatsu Megaton Dynamite as much as possible. With a 3fS, it is one of the
fastest Supers in the game, and does a sick amount of damage.
[A-] GEN`ICHIROU SHINDOU: Gen`ichirou is not a combo and juggle fiend like the
rest of the cast. He`s a "poor man`s Tamaki": virtually the same moves, but
with the uniqueness of his own. What he lacks in juggle capability, he makes
up with reach and damage. The goal with Gen`ichirou is to force the opponent
into the corner. This is where he has some of his better juggles, and makes it
hard for the opponent to deal with his Light Shippuudotou since it has nearly
a full second of active time. Taizenmeidou is Gen`ichirou`s best Last Heart
since it is possible to juggle after for additional damage.
[B+] ASUKA HONDA: Asuka is best summed up as being very easy to play, but she
doesn`t excel in any department. Which is not a bad thing, leaving you the
freedom to just play as you want. Simply, the goal with Asuka is to achieve
120% meter as fast as possible using her aggressive combos and attacks. Reason
being is that -both- of Asuka`s Supers are so ridiculously good and damaging,
there is no reason not to spam them. Enshin Ren Satsu Ken beats out every
projectile in the game with its high durability, and combos easily to end most
of Asuka`s combos. While Chou Phenomenon Crash can leave the ground unsafe for
long durations, and act as a vicious okizeme to force the opponent to either
guard or Jump Counter after knockdowns.
[B] KARINA TOYOTA: Karina is similar to Gen`ichirou in that she is not really
a crazy combo fighter either. Kero-pyon is basically half of her character, so
Karina is more geared toward setups to utilize him. However, Karina actually
doesn`t need him; she is more than capable of being a threat with her physical
attacks alone. Therefore, the goal with Karina is to maintain up-time of the
Heavy Kero-pyon Setup throughout the entire fight. This not only fills up the
Burning Gauge Meter faster, but also doubles as an obstacle for the opponent
to avoid. This is best used when placed right on top of a downed opponent for
wake-up games, forcing them to guard Kero-pyon`s attack and opening them up to
mix-ups. Karina can also jump-cancel her Jumping Counter into itself for very
good damage against grounded opponents.
[B] TETSUKO OUGIGAYA: Tetsuko plays differently than Asuka, even though they
both have overall similar attacks. In a nutshell, she is slower than Asuka,
but also stronger. The goal with Tetsuko is to catch the opponent with a Heavy
Chemical Impact. It combos after Crouching Heavy, and launches the opponent
high enough to allow Tetsuko to complete a high-damaging juggle. With nearly
a second of active frames, it beats out other attacks with ease. Alternatively
Tetsuko can follow Asuka`s approach to get 120% meter as soon as possible, so
that she can pollute the ground with Chou Phenomenon Crashs. One other detail
to note is that Tetsuko has a large hurtbox when she is knocked down. It means
she can be hit by some attacks that normally would pass over any other downed
opponent, like Cathy`s Itekomashi Special or Asuka`s Enshin Ren Satsu Ken.
[B-] RYUUKO YAMAZAKI: Ryuuko may be considered a "low tier" character, but she
can give stronger characters quite a challenge. While she has a lot of attacks
at her disposal, many of them aren`t really that effective. So the goal is to
catch the opponent with either a throw or Quick Driver. Both deal good damage
by itself, and give Ryuuko large frame advantage to setup her strong juggles.
Catching with a Quick Driver is not easy; it`s slow with at least a 13fS, so
it does not combo well. This is where you should utilize her Crouching Heavy
since it chains into itself; two of them typically knock most opponents high
enough so you can combo into a Heavy Quick Driver. (Three against Gen`ichirou;
Kumi and Tetsuko can`t be juggled by more than one.) Light Tatsumaki Receive
and her dash can maneuver underneath projectiles and get her close.
[C] KIYOKO MITARAI: Kiyoko is not a zoner as what was originally thought; at
least, not as strong as Tamaki is. She`s a character that basically is used to
frustrate the opponent with her various multi-hitting attacks. The goal with
Kiyoko is to get the opponent into the corner, then pressure with an abundance
of Shin Tsuutenkaku Dahou and Gettsuu Strikers. It becomes very hard to beat
Kiyoko in deflection wars, and she typically wins out. Illusion Out`s insane
invincibility window is great for counterattacks.
[C-] MEGUMI SUZUKI: Megumi is the undisputed mix-up machine, despite her less
than average damage. Your goal is to use her speed and maneuverability to your
advantage to keep the opponent guessing. Megumi`s problems mainly stem from
her very short limbs, which can make her come up missing in situations. Throw
Heavy Flying Pompom Attacks after a KNOCKDOWN, so to help keep Megumi safe on
the ground. Dashing Heavy a good attack for ground mix-up openings, allowing
her to dash cancel for a cross-under, or pursue them with a Fumifumi Nokkari——
which then acts in similar fashion to Gouki`s 'vortex' from `SFIV:AE´ since it
becomes a guessing game on which way to guard. Her dash able to avoid nearly
every projectile in the game.
[D] KUMI OOKUBO: Kumi would be much more annoying to deal with if she actually
did damage like the other characters. Low output and her obscure hitboxes make
her a bit difficult to play with at high level. One of Kumi's main perks is
that she has very long limbs, allowing her to hit from some rather ridiculous
lengths. Kumi has two goals: 1) abuse Ribbon Cutter, and 2) juggle. The Ribbon
Cutter is her best special by far, and is similar to Nana`s Ushiwaka no Mai in
that is can out-Deflect many other attacks. With its many hits, it is great to
use after many combos and juggles to help score a dizzy. Juggle off Standing
Counter whenever possible. She has a couple of damaging juggles in the corner
which actually do more damage than her Ribbon Slicer! Kumi also seems to have
a rather odd hurtbox, making some combos not work on her that normally would
on other characters. This can save her from some high damaging situations.

many other stages on banners and posters in the background. The Hyakka Matsuri
is a flower festival that is taking place at the same time as the Mega Fight

GLITCHES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Frozen Cathy + Kiyoko / Game Freeze
( Requirements ) Cathy: 1% life, 100% Burning Gauge
Kiyoko: n/a
Have Cathy and Kiyoko stand next to each other. Activate Cathy`s "Itekomashi
Special" and Kiyoko`s "Dai-League Softball 8-gou" simultaneously. Cathy`s grab
will catch Kiyoko just as the softball hits Cathy to beat her. However, Kiyoko
will get stuck in hitstun animation of being grabbed and gets "pulled" by
Cathy as she falls down KO`d. The game will then freeze.
- RUSH Pause / Fake Knockdown
( Requirements ) Characters with a Knockdown attack, and a LOW non-Knockdown
normal attack
This glitch tricks the game into thinking a combo is not over, even though the
opponent is walking and acting again. This only works for characters who have
a Knockdown or Hard Knockdown attack, and recover in enough time to attack
again. Typically this works in the corner better, but some characters who have
long reaching LOWs (eg - Cathy`s df + Heavy) also work. (The non-Knockdown LOW
being OTG-capable is not highly important.)
The trick is to hit the knockdown`d opponent with the non-Knockdown LOW on the
frame of them hitting the ground. This causes the opponent to instead pop back
up to their feet rather than fall on the ground or suffer any off-the-ground
damage. For example, with Nana and the opponent in the corner, hitting them
with a Standing Counter gives Nana a +7 frame advantage. Leaving her more than
enough time to catch the falling opponent with her Crouching Light the moment
they hit the ground. You'll know if you performed this correctly if the RUSH
combo indicator doesn`t appear under the character`s health bar, even though
it was a 2 RUSH combo, and the opponent is standing back on their feet. (Also
the dark purple region in the opponent`s health bar won`t move to show that a
combo is still happening.) Hitting the opponent again will continue from where
the previous combo left off, so any following hits just add on to the "saved"
combo meter. In essence, you are linking two individual combos into one larger
combo. Even if your character is struck beforehand, it doesn`t mess up the
previous combo`s saved amount of hits.
The "saved" combo hits do not get stored forever. After roughly four seconds,
if the player doesn`t manage to hit the opponent again, the combo number will
eventually register itself as normal.
Aside from this method being able to be utilized in Ranking Mode to increase
the combos and gain higher points, it also has a setup mechanic which could be
potentially used in any higher level gameplay. When the opponent is hit with
the non-Knockdown LOW as they hit the ground, they are forced off the ground
with a hop that lasts between 3-5 frames. While they are able to guard, this
is potentially a way to setup a reset opportunity due to the awkwardness of
the opponent`s landing. However, because this method is tricking the game into
thinking the combo is not completed, the damage is still being scaled.

"ASUKA 120% LIMITOVER BURNING FEST." INFO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fans of the `Asuka 120%´ series might know of an upgraded version of "Limited"
that was produced a year after its predecessor. Called "LimitOver" (LO), it is
dubbed as a "(game hack)" of the actual released title. However, the fact is
that LO was created by the original development team that made Limited, after
they disbanded following A120L`s release. The disc is an unofficial CD-R patch
of the game that tweaks much of Limited`s gameplay and balances the characters
quite significantly.
Copies of the actual disc are -incredibly- difficult to locate; however, the
team did put up a basic website (in Japanese) that offers the download of the
patch items and instructions on how to append it to the Limited ISO. There are
also downloads available of the full patched game that can be found. Because
it is not an official release, I cannot include where and how to get them in
this FAQ. But your best friend Google should be able to successfully lead any
who are interested into the right direction.

REVISION HISTORY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v. 17.0 // 2014.12.25
- This FAQ ended up being more in-depth than I ever imagined it to be, but at
the same time I`m happy. To shed light on a old game that is actually worth
playing a few times, and show it can be rather involved. This is also my
contribution to the FGC which I have been a part of for so long. -- Anyway,
I did shorten the FAQ some by changing all the notes to shorthand, which
took away a lot of dead space. Dizzy information also corrected. Infomation
about `Asuka 120% LIMITOVER´ also added on how some of the changes differ
from `Limited´. Merry Christmas, bitches!
v. 16.0 // 2014.08.27
- Fixed the active frames for Shinobu`s Heavy Banchou Bazooka. As well as all
the conversions from kilograms to pounds. The Tier Listing section got an
overhaul in its information, and now discusses what players should attempt
to go for to be more effective with the characters. (Some of the characters
also got swapped around due to this.)
v. 15.0 // 2014.04.30
- Forgot to add frame data information for the 'unique' attacks that come out
of some character`s Target Combos, like Asuka`s f + A,A,A. The last two As
only show during that string, as they are not part of Asuka`s basic attacks.
Asuka, Karina, Nana, Tamaki, and Tetsuko all had this information added. It
felt important to include to show other possible linking options. I also
added the seiyuu information, and fixed a few of the gameplay definitions.
v. 14.0 // 2014.02.16
- Added translations to the Japanese text shown in all of the stages. Some of
the characters are too small to make out, which makes me believe they all of
the signs and banners do say something. But the stages must have been scaled
down or just ended up getting very pixelated in the final production. But I
was able to translate a great deal of things overall. Finally fixed some
minor information on attacks that may not knockdown a grounded opponent, but
does cause it on an aerial one.
v. 13.0 // 2014.02.12
- Added the scoring chart for Ranking Mode, and Game Soundtrack Listing for
all the music tracks on the game CD. Also fixed some information about the
properties of Cathy`s Northern Light Bomb, Itekomashi Special, and Dashing
Heavy, Nana`s Bu Tou Souen Jin: Ni, and Ryuuko`s Hyper Tackle. Finally got
to reexamine the "Faux Knockdown" glitch with additional notes on its high
level properties.
v. 12.5 // 2014.01.15
- I apologize to any casual players who may just be looking for a basic move
list, and don`t wish to sift through all of this other information listed in
this one. I tried to submit a smaller, more compact guide but unfortunately
GameFAQs wouldn`t allow me to put up two general FAQs, even though one is a
mini-FAQ. Maybe that might change later since I have put up large and small
FAQs for games in the past. Added color palette data for all characters.
v. 12.0 // 2014.01.13
- Frame data added on all characters` basic attacks and special moves in full.
This is my first time undergoing a project like this, but I believe I was
able to grasp it all down as precisely as possible. Some of the information
concerning certain attacks and special moves might now be slightly changed
from the previous FAQ version with the addition of frame data included. Lots
of new information also added about throw break windows, character weights,
and the tier breakdown of the characters. The 'System Dissection' section
got a rather massive overhaul with tons of additions and corrections; really
breaking down the game more into its finer bits. I love the `Asuka 120%´
series, so this is why I put so much work into this FAQ issue, even in vain.
v. 11.0 // 2013.07.09
- The third complete overall of the FAQ into yet another brand new format. So
I literally went into the game all over again, played thoroughly with each
character, and broke them down to their complete foundation. All information
double checked to be as accurate as possible. In-depth details and combat
data added on all basic and special attacks. I realized that I left a great
deal of information out of the FAQ prior to this, and it was starting to
annoy me considering I`m redoing all my horrible documents.
v. 10.0 // 2000.09.15
- The second large editing of the entire FAQ. Detailed information added for
everyone, including notes and changes to special attacks and personal
information. Enders for Megumi`s Fumifumi Nokkari added. Found the names to
Gen`ichirou`s attacks, but unsure if the translations are correct.
Translations of character`s names and moves updated as well.
v. 9.0 // 2000.05.31
- Added in all command attacks, target combos, and additional notes for all
the characters. Some editing too.
v. 8.0 // 1999.10.04
- Unlocked Gen`ichirou Shindou and added his special moves.
v. 7.0 // 1999.07.30
- Added information on the characters` seiyuu.
v. 6.0 // 1999.07.09
- FAQ written in a new format, plus added another temporary ASCII title.
v. 5.5 // 1999.02.06
- Editing.
v. 5.0 // 1998.11.21
- Unlocked Tetsuko Ougigaya and added her special moves.
v. 4.0 // 1998.11.14
- Added information on the secret characters: Tetsuko Ougigaya, Gen`ichirou
Shindou, and even Ichiko Furutachi, but still no special moves for them.
Also did spelling corrections on the other characters.
v. 3.0 // 1998.11.04
- Information overload! Everything has been added that was missing with the
exception of the two hidden characters. Added a temporary ASCII title.
v. 2.0 // 1998.10.19
- Added some proper names for special moves, and an attack for Nana Owada.
v. 1.0 // 1998.10.05
- Mainly editing and clean-up.
v. 0.5 // 1998.08.31
- Added the translations section.
v. 0.0 // 1998.07.21
- FAQ initial creation.

FINAL NOTE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oss`!
It actually took me quite a long time to get my hands on this version of the
`Asuka 120%´ series. Had to have a friend look it up for me while he was over
in Japan. It`s discontinued now, but ROMs are still available if anyone is out
looking to play it. Or on eBay to try and find a hard copy. An updated `Asuka´
title has since been released for the Playstation: `Burning Fest. Final´. The
improved gameplay and revised graphics of `Limited´ over its predecessors did
help to bring back some of the lost popularity, but sadly the series did end
after `Final´ was released. I`m idly hoping FamilySoft (or another company who
can acquire the rights) revisits this series to bring out another one for the
PS3. With something like four new characters featuring representatives from a
fencing, soccer, basketball, and swimming clubs. So much more potential there!
Have something to say about the game or this FAQ you want me or others to
know? Find any of the above information wrong or misleading? Or maybe you
have info or extras to add onto what`s posted. Whatever the case is, feel
free to send it! Anything that is posted within the FAQ, you not only get
full credit. Oh no no! You also receive unauthorized bragging rights that
give you the Almighty-given gift of annoying the hell out of people with.
.. By the way, thanks for reading!
Sayounara, adios, ciao, xie xie, au revoir, and all that other crap. ^_^
