Makai Tai Tei Fernandeath (saijou saidai saikyou saiaku) ———————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Note: Personally, I don't think the names of most of Fernandeath's
attacks translate into anything. The ones I could get are added, of
course. If anyone knows the others, drop me a line. Each attack was
written in the booklet in hiragana; all except the enders ("desu" and
"dessu-n", which were in katakana).

The Power-up version will not inflict a dizzy status.

e: Tank Jab
m: Press P + K / R shoulder

P! j: Z Dan
e: Z Bullet
m: qcf + P, hold P, then release
- While Punch is held, Politank Z leans back ready to fire a bomb. For
each level Politank Z goes back, a different bomb is fired. When you
get to the bomb you wish to use, release Punch. If Punch is held too
long, Politank Z will use the Mine explosive automatically. Politank Z
is vulnerable while preparing to fire.
- Politank Z will send out all five bombs in succession for the Power-up
version.
- The fiery blast from the bomb firing is able to hit in addition to the
bomb itself.
- Below is the list of items and notes:
EXPLOSIVE RANGE (screen is full length)
-------------------------------------------
Bomb 1/4 screen distance
Grenade 1/3 screen distance
Big Grenade 1/2 screen distance
Napalm 2/3 screen distance
Mine 5/6 screen distance
P! j: Dokudoku Sumo-ku
e: Poisonous Smoke
m: qcf + K
h: Weak 1, Strong 1, Power 1
- Causes limited dizzy status.
P! j: Gururin Mogurin
e: Surroundings Dividings(?)
m: b,db,d + K
h: Weak 4 + 6, Strong 4 + 6, Power 4 + 10
- The blocking properties of this move are fairly complicated and will
leave the opponent guessing. When Politank Z is drilling to go into the
ground, those hits must be blocked low. It doesn't matter what version
is used. When Politank Z emerges, each version must be blocked
differently. The Weak version ("A") must be blocked low. The Strong
version ("B") is unblockable. There is no way to differentiate between
the Weak and Strong version, so sorry. ^_^; The Power-up version must
be blocked low at first, but at the ninth hit, Politank Z "hops"
up and the last hit is considered mid. Thus, it must be blocked high.
HH j: Bikkuru Dokkiri Dan
e: Frightened Shocked Bullet
m: d,d + Z / C
h: Around 13
- The explosions travel full-screen distance unless the screen is totally
scrolled out to either side. Then the blasts will only reach far enough
to meet the opponent's feet.
DD j: Jairo Bakugeki
e: Gyro Bombing Raid
m: b,d,db + Z
h: 3 (per explosion)
- Politank Z flies upwards during this move, dropping bombs on either

P! j: Inazuma Kyanon
e: Lightning Cannon
m: qcf + P (air)
h: Weak 1, Strong 1, Power 10
- The Power-up Inazuma Cannon goes full-screen distance unless the screen
is totally scrolled out to either side. Then the blast will only reach
far enough to meet the opponent's feet.
P! j: Inazuma Appa-
e: Lightning Upper
m: f,d,df + P, tap P rapidly
h: Weak 3~5, Strong 3~5, Power 3~9
- By tapping rapidly on the punch buttons, Rai will add on more hits. The
first number is how many hits done without tapping. The second number
is the maximum hits that can be scored with that version of the punch.
- Rai has three enders for the Inazuma Upper if it scores the maximum
hits. Thus, performed on the 5th / 9th hit of the chain. Keeping the
controller neutral causes Rai to uppercut normally. Holding down will
make Rai attack with a double fist to send the opponent straight back
to the ground with no chance to quick recover. Holding the direction
towards the opponent will make Rai punch them across the screen to the
opposite wall. The opponent is able to wall rebound / safe fall.
P! j: Inazuma Kurasshu
e: Lightning Crush
m: qcb + P
h: Weak 1, Strong 1, Power 3 - Can negate some projectiles.
- Can pass through opponent if blocked.
- The Inazuma Crush can be performed in the air only during Super Mode.
HH j: Bakurai Harike-n
e: Depth Charge Hurricane
m: d,d + Z / C
h: Power 15
- Can be moved left and right or into the air in any upwards direction.
Rai moves faster if going horizontal or an upwards diagonal. Going
straight up is slow and has liftoff lag time.
- The nine hits are usually number the Bakurai Hurricane will do before
the opponent falls to the ground.
DD j: Gou Rai Tenpesuto
e: Roaring Thunder Tempest
m: b,hcb + C

- The lightning pillars can negate most projectiles only if one of them
is in front of Rai.
DD j: Chouriki Gou Rai Dengeki Ken
e: Super Strength Roaring Thunder Electric Shock Fist
m: f,hcf + C
h: Power 15
- If blocked, Rai will attack with the six ground hits before stopping.
The opponent can attack while blocking to eventually get an attack in
to interrupt Rai and stop the super.

places Slash forward from where he was.
- No attacks or motions can be done when Slash appears in the air from
the "B" version.
HH j: Da-kunesu Uindo
e: Darkness Wind
m: d,d + Z / C

- Sends opponent across screen.
- If too close to the opponent, Slash's initial slash will knock the
opponent across the screen and the energy arc will miss.
- The energy arc hits a different number of times, depending where Slash
and the opponent are placed. If Slash is about two character-width away
from them, all eight hits should connect.
DD j: Da-kunesu Rasshu
e: Darkness Rush
m: f,hcf + C
h: Power 16
- If blocked, Slash will attack with the eleven ground hits before
stopping. The opponent can attack while blocking to try and get an
attack in to interrupt Slash and stop the super, but Slash's attacks
are much faster than the physical ones for Arina and Rai. Thus, Slash
may hit you if you attempt.

P! j: Arekore Poi
e: One Thing or Another Death
m: qcf + P, hold P, then release (air)
- Tesse will stay suspended in the spot you began the air Arina Beam.
- While Punch is held, Tesse cycles through items within a small thought
bubble. When you get to the item you wish to use, release Punch. If
using "Y" for the move, the items are not shown. However, Tesse's voice
is still heard, so the item can be guessed that way. If Punch is held
too long and Tesse gets to the end of her list, she will use the
"Bullet Bill" attack (or the last three items for the Power-up version)
automatically. Tesse is vulnerable as she cycles through the items.
- Tesse will send out three items in succession for the Power-up version.
For example, if Z is held a second, Tesse would send out the Plate,
Book, and Robot Dog in that order.
- Below is the list of items and notes:

|—— [Waku 5] System Dissection ——————————————————————————————————————————————|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Movement (walking/dashing/jumping) —————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character all have the ability to walk forward and backward on the playing
field and jump in any upwards direction. With the exception of Rai and
Politank Z, you cannot move while crouching. They also can dash (Press f,f)
or backstep/backdash (Press b,b). Each increases the speed of movement in the
direction you want to move. Keep holding forward or back and the character
will continues to move in that direction until the button is released.
Dashing also involves a property of character momentum. That allow you to get
in "deeper" against an opponent when you attack. Thus, more hits can be
scored rather than it would if they began just standing next to each other.
A forward dash can be cancelled by pressing back or back on the controller
while moving. The character will stop where commanded in a slight skid. That
being useful if you anticipate an attack that could strike you.
Dandy J's dash is a large forward bound that is capable of reaching half a
screen's length. It can also be stopped a couple of ways too. Holding forward
will make Dandy J leap to his maximum range. Pressing back or down in mid-
leap will have him roll to a stop where you commanded. The dash can also be
stopped by pressing one of the attack buttons, as listed in his specific
section. That is a more effective way to stop his dash because if you stop it
with a direction command, you have to wait until Dandy J rolls back to a
stand before you are able to attack. However, pressing a button will cause
him to stop suddenly and automatically place him back on his feet. Thus, an
attack can be done immediately.
As stated at the beginning, anyone is able to jump in any upward direction.
Each character has their own height and manner of jumping specific to them.
Rai is the only character that can, essentially, "super jump"; due to a
specific input command. All the same principles apply with that jump as it
would with his normal jump (i.e- perform mid-air special moves).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attacking / Middle Attacks —————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four attack buttons utilizing two strengths are used, similiar to the 'King
of Fighters' format: Weak (Punch and Kick) and Strong (Punch and Kick). In
usual cases, the "kick" attacks are more powerful than "punch" hits; however,
they are also slower.
Middle Attacks are special moves that each character has one of. By pressing
a Punch and Kick together, no matter the strength (i.e- pressing both Weak
Punch and Weak Kick is the same as pressing Weak Punch and Strong Kick), the
character will perform an attack that can only be blocked by standing. No
matter how the attack looks (Politank Z's Middle Attack looks more like a low
punch), it still must be blocked "high". A crouching opponent will be hit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuits ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similar in many 3D games (i.e- Virtua Fighter), after the opponent is knocked
to the ground, your character can follow up with a pursuit; a jump-in move to
land on the fallen opponent's body with an attack. If the opponent moves to
avoid the pursuit, your character will leap back in the air, vulnerable to
attacks. However, if the opponent stands as the pursuit is coming, and they
don't block, the pursuit attack will stll connect as normal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guarding ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Japan, blocking is called "guarding". Same command; hold away from the
opponent as you are being attacked. Ground-based attacks can be blocked two
ways. Holding back on the controller while your character is being attacked
will have them take up a defensive stance and block standing attacks. The
crouching (low-level) attacks are blocked by holding down-back (i.e- a
sweep). Mid-ranged attacks and jumping attacks must be blocked as you are
standing as well. They cannot be defended with a low block. Those attacks are
considered overhead attacks. If a special attack/move must be blocked in a
specific manner, it is listed as a note in each character's sections.
When both characters are in the air, you can block by holding any of the back
positions (b, ub, or db) as your character is being attacked.
There are some moves that cannot be blocked. They include normal throws (done
up close by pressing b / f + Y), air throws, Wakuwaku Nage, and Harahara
moves (discussed more in the "Harahara Techniques" section). The only way to
avoid those attacks is to stay out of their range.
Guard damage is not sustained by guarding against normal moves, such as a
punch or kick. Guarding against most Hissatsu Waza (special moves) and super
attacks do tick away at the life gauge. You lose one point of damage for each
hit that is blocked from of a special or super attack.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throwing / Wakuwaku Nage ———————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throws (Nage) are unblockable moves that each character has at least one of.
There are three types of throws: ground throw, kuuchuu (mid-air) throw, and
Wakuwaku Nage. When close to the opponent on the ground, press forward or
back + Strong Punch (Y button). In air, you have to press up-forward or up-
back + Strong Punch to perfrom the through. Throwing cannot be escaped from
(i.e- a "Tech Hit" from the Capcom games), but they can be recovered from
(discussed more in the "Quick Recover" section).
A Wakuwaku Nage are command throw techniques. Each character has one Wakuwaku
Nage in addition to their normal throws. They are performed if you are close
to your opponent, then motioning a half-circle back + B. Opponents cannot
quick recover from a Wakuwaku Nage as they could from a normal throw. Nor can
they Rebound Attack / Safe Fall upon hitting a wall.
Politank Z's Wakuwaku Nage is the only one that can be blocked. But to even
up the balance, it has long range and can grab an opponent out the air.
"Wakuwaku Nage" means "Tremble Throw".
Wakuwaku Nage are cited in each character's section with a "WW" before it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life Gauge —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The life (tairyoku) bars are both placed at the top of the screen on either
side of the round timer. Player 1's is on the left side while Player 2 is
the right. Each player's life gauge bar begins with a full 113 units of
health (don't ask how I found that out). During battle, each hit takes away
life points. The grainy area is how much life lost thus far. Once the entire
meter is empty, that means all the life points are gone and the character is
defeated. The round goes to the winner.
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 an extra round will
begin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wakuwaku Gauge —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wakuwaku Gauges are both located at the bottom of the screen, parellel to
the life bars - the left side being Player 1's and right side is Player 2's.
There are three components to a Wakuwaku Gauge: the gauge itself, the number,
and the Wakuwaku orbs.
- Burning Gauge energy is gained whenever your character does an attack
that that misses, an attack that hits, or blocks an attack. The
character's attacks and special moves give their own unique amount of
gauge energy. Once the gauge is full, an audible "Charge!" will be heard.
The number on the side will change and an orb will light up.
- The number shows how many Supers are stocked up that can be used.
- A total of seven orbs can be placed in a section above the gauge. Those
also mark how many Super attacks once can stock up in a match. Each
character starts out with one orb. As you advance, each opponent you beat
will add another orb in that section. Thus, an additional Super can be
done. In Vs. Mode, you are able to select how many orbs both players
start with.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Mode —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Super Mode is activated, the character will pose as they are surrounded
with an "aura" of energy. During that time, the character is TOTALLY
invincible to any and all attacks. Attacks will either collide with them for
no damage or simply pass through. The "aura" itself is able to cause damage
and can be used as a counter if blocking. So, if a character was blocking
Slash's Darkness Rush, activating Super Mode will have Slash's attacks pass
through in addition to the "aura" blast to counter him with its hit.
During Super Mode, your character will glow a yellowish hue and their attacks
will be at least 2x stronger. Projectiles can be stopped with normal attacks,
as well. The word "Super" will appear under your character's Life Meter.
Gradually, it begins to get smaller and eventually fade from sight, thus
ending Super Mode.
Super Mode is activated by pressing all four attack buttons simultaenously,
or the default L shoulder button. One stock of Wakuwaku Gauge is required.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power-up Moves —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seemingly borrowed from Capcom's "Vampire" series, Power-up Moves are
enhanced version of a character's special moves. They are performed by doing
the same motion, but instead, pressing two buttons instead of the one. For
example, for Arina's Power-up version Arina Crash, you would do f,d,df + PP
or f,d,df + Z instead of just f,d,df + P.
Power-up Moves may have different principles behind them that do not apply to
their normal counterparts; ranging from more hits to knocking the character
full screen away. For example, Bonus Kun's Uzumaki Boufuu Kyaku can normally
be blocked either standing or crouching. But for his Power-up version, it can
only be blocked by standing. An specific notes or changes of moves for a
Power-up version are given in each character's sections.
Special attakcs that can be doubled as a Power-up Move are cited in each
character's section with a "P!" before it. One stock of the Wakuwaku Gauge
is required.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dokidoki Techniques ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A "Dokidoki" is a Super move that each character has at least one (Dandy J
and Rai are the only characters that have two). When activated, the
background darken and action freezes. The character will flash with rainbow
colors during the attack until it's over.
Dokidoki attacks have greater priority over most other attacks. For example,
if Bonus Kun's Chou Shakunetsu Daisharin would pass through Slash's Slash
Barrier. But a Dokidoki against another one normally cancels each other out.
Performing Rai's Chouriki Gou Rai Dengeki Ken and Arina's Arina Carnival
simultaneously to have each collide with one another would ultimately stop
both from connecting.
Dokidoki attacks are cited in each character's section with a "DD" before it.
One stock of the Wakuwaku Gauge is required.
"Dokidoki means "throb" or "beat fast".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harahara Techniques ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A "Harahara" is a special super more that each character possesses one of.
all of them are unblockable, no matter the circumstances. Each Harahara has a
long startup time before they are executed. When activated, a siren will be
sounded and the background will flash with "Harahara: Attack Motion Start".
Essentially, a Harahara is capable of dealing over 50%; thus why it has alot
of startup time.
Harahara techniques are all performed in the same manner: down, down + both
Punch / Kick buttons. Each are cited in each character's section with a "HH"
before it. One stock of the Wakuwaku Gauge is required.
"Harahara" means "falling rapidly in big drops".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Recover ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After throw or moves that that toss your character up into the air, instead
of having them crash into the ground, you can quick recover and avoid taking
that damage. Once the move connect and you are in freefall, hold down and
press any of the attack buttons -once-. As your character is about to hit the
ground, they will spring off the ground and flip to their feet instead. That
also stops pursuit chances as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wall Rebound / Safe Fall ———————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character's possess attacks that are capable of delivering an hit powerful
enough that it will knock the opponent across the entire length of the
screen. Such attacks include Tesse's Nobinobi Arm Kyou, Rai's Futtobe Ken,
and Marurun's Wakuwaku Upper. In addition to the damage taken from the
attack, once the character hits the wall, more damage is added from the sharp
impact. However, that damage can be avoided by one of two techniques: wall
rebound and safe fall.
A Wall Rebound is when a character flies into a wall, but leaps off it back
towards the opponent with a retaliation attack. In a sense, it is similar to
a triangle jump used by Rai and Slash. While airborne, normal attacks as well
as aerial special moves can all be used. Blocking is also possible. To
perform, as you hit the wall, press any Kick button.
A Safe Fall is an alternative move that allows your character to "catch" the
wall, then just fall to the ground on their feet.
Both the Wall Rebound and Safe Fall cannot be done if the opponent it already
close to the wall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recovery Roll / Rising Attacks —————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recovery rolls are evasion techniques to get out of the way of persistant
opponents. Once you've been knocked down, an opponent may stay hovered above
you; ready to attack once you stand again. But if you hold either forwards or
back while on the ground, you will move in that direction as you stand up
again. thus, providing range between yourself and the opponent.
Rising attacks are done as your character is standing from a knockdown. As
you hold up on the controller, you will stand with an attack that will strike
an opponent in the proximity. Rising attacks have priority over all pursuit
attacks and most special moves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dizzy / Dizzy Recovery —————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once a character has suffered a brutal amount of blows in succession, they'll
be knocked into a dizzy ailment. A couple of stars will hover over their
heads in addition to the character taking on a "dazed" stance to mark them
being knocked into the dizzy. You then can unleash hell onto them. A dizzied
person can't attack, jump, or block until the dizzy effect has worn off. To
end dizzy status fast, rapidly press the buttons and move the control
pad/joystick around.
If the words "Chance" appears across the screen, that means a dizzy has been
inflicted that the opponent cannot shake out of to recovery. Thus, they are
stuck until attacked. It's -very- rare for that to occur, however.
Fernandeath, Politank Z, and Tesse all have moves that can inflict an instant
dizzy upon the opponent.
- Fernandeath: Being hit by the full six hits of his Kurunarakoi Desu after
a successful counter.
- Politank Z: Being hit by the Dokudoku Smoke.
- Tesse: Being hit by the "Cactus Plant" item thrown from the Arekore Poi.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combos / Juggles ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waku Waku 7 has a combo engine similar to "Super Street Fighter". Characters
can link in special moves from normal attacks via the 2-in-1 method. Meaning,
Rai can perform a crouching punch, you can then roll the controller in a
"qcf" motion and press punch again to 2-in-1 into the Inazuma Cannon. Both
hits will connect after each other, resulting in a 2-hit combo.
Character also have chain combos that are made up of hits guaranteed to combo
one after the other. Chains differ if the character is standing or crouching.
Arina has the largest one in the game. In order, she can link together a
Light Punch > Light Kick > Strong Punch > Strong Kick chain to result in a 4-
hit combo. If performed correctly, once the first hit connects, the opponent
will be unable to get out of the attack until the last hit.
Juggles are the method of "bouncing" the opponent with attacks while their
are airborne. This is normally seen in the Capcom's "Vs." games. It's not
that hectic in Waku Waku 7, though. Juggles can only be done on the
character's ascension from an attack. Meaning you can only juggle them while
they are rising. For example, with Politank Z, if the last hit of his jumping
Strong Kick connects, the opponent will be "popped" into the air a bit. Then,
he can land and perform a Strong Punch for the juggle of two hits.

Keep in mind that this chart is not 100% accurate. I can beat the game on
it's hardest setting with Bonus Kun no problem. Even Arina. So, this is just
a basis on who stands over who in the game. The total wins are out of eighty
matches. Of course to find the percentage, divide that number by eighty.
Below are some notes that's happened during the quest to make this chart.
- The AI when it's two CPUs fighting is REALLY bad. There have been times
where both characters walk towards each other doing nothing. Or someone
is doing a Harahara and the opponent does nothing to go stop them while
they are in startup. Even not attack after they had dizzied someone. Or
once, Dandy J and Politank Z got in a glitch and were alternating in
jumps for about five minutes.
- Overall, characters did a Wakuwaku Nage over normal throws.
- As you see, Bonus Kun won nothing. In essence, he really is the "Dan" of
the game. But, he can win. Keep in mind in CPU vs CPU battles, the basic
move that is done are throws. And since Bonus Kun has none, he hardly
scored damage.
- The only supers normally performed were Haraharas. Especially after a
moved knocked the opponent across the screen.
- Slash would teleport for no reason or into attacks.
- Tesse's "Chou Denshi Eraser" -never- missed. It seemed that the CPU would
freeze once Tesse appeared in the air and fired the laser. Or they would
do their own Harahara to try and "counter" Tesse's. So, take that info to
your on discretion.
- Rai only did his Gou Rai Tempest when an opponent jumped over him and/or
on large opponents.
- Arina never completed her Arina Crush.

Final Note —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oss'!
'Dragon Ball Z', anyone?
Again, the thing's been revamped. This is the format that's staying, so if
you don't like it - tough. After finally getting the mood to play this game
again, decided to go ahead and complete the FAQ. Enjoy!
By the way, I'm still looking for any place that has the arcade version! So
if you know of any, please tell me!
Here's a list of things that may show up in future installments:
1] Remaining SE Test sounds
2] Any miscellaneous stuff (i.e- combos, strategies, etc.)
Got something to say you want me or others to know? Anything within this
FAQ wrong? Or maybe there's stuff you want to add to. Whatever the case,
send your info in! For anything posted inside this FAQ, you not only get
credit. Oh no! You also receive bragging rights to annoy the hell out of
people with! Is there a better reward than that?! So c'mon! Send it in!!
You know the drill.. You know the e-mail address.. So I'll just shut up.
..By the way, thanks for reading!
Sayounara, adios, ciao, xie xie, au revoir, and all that other stuff. =P
