<INTRO>
///////
Yes, this is a yet another Combo FAQ by me. Bite Me. Ever since I first
got my hands on this game I've loved it. And I would love to see a
Dreamcast sequel. But enough of the "I want's!". This FAQ will focus on
all sorts of Combos (Standard and Power Combos) and will list the Button
Chains that the Characters have. So, here's the Combo FAQ with a bit of
backround info on the Characters.
Section 5. _________________________________________________________________

<STORY>
///////
This is a tale about the battle between Hope and Despair, Light and Dark,
Good and Evil. Far into the future lies a Complex. In this Complex waits
the Eternal Champion, a being who came into existance as the universe was
born. From his creation He has travelled through time gathering 9
unfortunate souls destined for greatness who were to be killed before their
time. Taking them a second before their deaths to his Eternity Complex
which sits on the border of time itself, the Eternal Champion was to hold
a great contest in which the victor would be returned to their life a few
moments before their death with the knowledge to survive. This person
would then go on to their pre-ordained greatness without hindrance. The
losers would have to be returned to their deaths as the Eternal only had
enough power to restore one being to life. This would be a great battle,
a battle which held the greatest prize.... Life.
The 9 stood tall, waiting for their chance to win a right to Live. But
something was not quite as it should be. If the Eternal had bought 9
people to fight, how were there 13 ready to fight? The Eternal knew at
last, he was not alone in his quest. He had an eternal rival who fought
for all he was against. The Dark Champion appeared before the gathered
challengers and the Eternal. "With these 4 that I have bought, the contest
shall finally be resolved and Chaos shall finally reign without the need to
force this contest to remain in an eternal loop of Time. Now that I have
bought you the 4 warriors that I had supplanted. Let the Contest begin,
and let this struggle be decided once and for all". With these words the
Dark Champion started to glow an incandescant green. Turning into pure
energy, he streaked out of Eternity Complex and travelled to his Cimmurian
Complex.
The Eternal gathered the warriors and said:-
"Let the contest begin!"

<ADVANCED GAME SYSTEMATICS>
///////////////////////////
INNER STRENGTH-->
The Inner Strength system shows how much Chi you have at any given time.
All special moves require a certain amount of Chi to be performed, which
will stop people being really scrubby with certain characters and their
moves (Shadow, Trident, Larcen...). The Inner Strength orb will replenish
itself over time, but this forces you to think before you blindly attack.
If you should use all the available Chi, then the Orb shall shrink and
flash red. There is a way of getting unlimited Inner Strength and that's
by using...
POWER COMBOS-->
Yes, Power Combos.. "What's a Power Combo?" you ask? Well, a Power Combo
is a series of attacks that will cause the Eternal Champion to applaud your
skill by granting you unlimited Inner Strength for 10 seconds. You may
then attack without mercy. The Inner Strength Orb changes to the Eternal's
Bushido symbol and you will hear a high-pitched signal when you perform a
Power Combo correctly. Power Combos normally dizzy the opponent too!
Each character has at least one Power Combo and are listed in their
combo lists.
JUGGLING-->
In Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side you have the opportunity
to cause more damage to a hapless enemy by juggling them for a few more
hits after a combo or just knocking an opponent out of the air then pursuing
them to deal out more damage for their mistake in challenging you.
OVERKILLS-->
The Overkills from the original Eternal Champions are back, and they've got
easier to pull off. An Overkill is a backround related fatality that can
be done by any character to any of the Humanoid Champions on the final
round. To overkill your opponent, you must position your enemy in a certain
place on the backround (Every backround has it's own Overkill) then you
must strike them to kill their chances of being returned to life.
SUDDEN DEATHS-->
The Sudden Deaths are like the Overkills in the respect that they are
related to the backround, but the opponent can still be a little healthy
when it is activated. Just like the Overkills, these are quite gory. Go
on, use these to make you feel a little better.
VENDETTAS-->
Vendettas are Player activated kills (Ala Mortal Kombat) in which your
character will exact vengeance in their own style! To execute (Pun
intended) your Vendetta you must be on your final round needed for you to
win. The opponent must have 33% or less life and.. you must dizzy your
opponent. (I didn't say it wasn't complex :P ) Enter the command at the
right place and... Win in style!
CINEKILLS-->
A Cinekill is a nice way to finish your opponent on the last round. To
issue a Cinekill to your opponent you must have performed a Power Combo to
earn Unlimited Inner Strength, taken you opponents energy down to 33% or
less AND dizzied them! The Dark Champion will then freeze time, and
transport you to the next challenger as he takes the victim to the
Cimmurian Complex and kills them in a Full-Motion 3D Rendered Fatality so
you don't have to! Isn't that nice of the Evil One?

<CHARACTERS MOVES LIST AND COMBOS>
//////////////////////////////////
-----------------
(-)SHADOW YAMOTO(-)_________________________________________________________
-----------------
Style: Ninjutsu/Taijutsu
Occupation: Ninja Assassin
Stage: Black Orchid Rooftop
Time: 1993 AD
Defining Quote: "A moral code is only required for the weak
who don't know the difference between wrong and right."
Taunt: "Coward!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Shadow was the best corporate assassin in the Black Orchid Corporation.
She performed many tasks ranging from individual elimination jobs to
ending large corporate takeovers.
A true star at the Black Orchid headquarters, Shadow never thought much
about the morality of her career until she learned that if a job wasn't
completed to corporate satisfaction, a person like herself would in turn
eliminate her.
When she realized the peril of her own morality, Shadow found she couldn't
bring herself to kill others. The corporation didn't allow resignations,
so they arranged her fall from the 101st floor of the Black Orchid building.
This stopped her her from telling the world about Black Orchid and
corporations like it, with all their dark secrets of hired killers.
This knowledge would have had a huge impact on international business
going into the 21st century.
GOAL-->
Shadow's plan if she was returned would be to reveal to the world the
illegal assassination programs that exist in many of the largest
corporations of the world. She would also search for a way to use her
skills in a way that would make a positive difference for the world but
still support her thirst for danger and adventure.

EXPLANATION OF MOVES-->
---------------------
-------------
#SPECIAL MOVES#
-------------
Shadow Punch = CBF+(YZ)
Damage: Up to 15% (7%+8%)+wall smash
#Shadow leaps forward with her fist and forearm covered in an ethereal
glow. Striking home 2 Hits when close this move is very useful as
connection will also send the opponent flying into the wall behind,
causing more damage. It's speed will get you across the screen in
a hurry.
High Jump Angle Kick = CDU+B
Damage: 12%
#Shadow leaps to the top of the screen where she then dives down at the
opponent with a heel kick. Kinda useful for annoying Larcen players who
throw Sai then jump-in with an attack. The kick will rip them out of the
air with no problems.
Twirling Fan Attack = CBF+A,B,or C
Damage: Up to 20% (5% for every twirl + 2% for the Fan strike)
#Shadow performs forward-flips ending with a slice from her razor-like fan.
Depending on the button pressed when performing this will get you different
amounts of forward-flips (A=1 Flip, B=2 Flips, C=3 Flips). This is a
really good attack to combo and should be a vital part of your tactics
whilst using Shadow.
Smoke Screen = (ABC)
Damage: 0% (Teleportation)
#Shadow throws a smoke bomb at the floor and disappears. Pressing certain
button combinations after the initial command will teleport her to one of
the four corners of the screen. They are as follows:-
@Teleport to the Left Corner (Floor) = (AB)
@Teleport to the Right Corner (Floor) = (BC)
@Teleport to the Left Corner (Ceiling) = (XY)
@Teleport to the Left Corner (Ceiling) = (YZ)
Not pressing a button will cause Shadow to teleport next to the Opponent.
Shadow Mode = [XYZ]
Damage: 0% (Invulnerability)
#Shadow "fades to black" and can attack without any fear of being hit or
thrown. Most opponents will see this move and block, so all you have to do
is throw them. (Ok I don't agree with doing this but then again, You're not
me!!) If opponents start to run away from you (making throwing a little
harder) just use the jumping A as a quick double-jump then Silent Shadow
(Air-Throw) them till they cry.
Flying Mine "uzume-bi" = QCT+Z
Damage: 15%
#Shadow throws an auto-locking shuriken that attaches itself to the
opponent and explodes a few seconds later. If the opponent is hit by it,
then as soon as it explodes you can jump up to juggle the enemy. If it is
blocked then the shuriken falls to the floor and explodes a few seconds
later (The opponent can be hit be the explosion).
Shuriken = CBF+X or Y
Damage: 11%
#Shadow throws a shuriken across the screen. Standard projectile attack.
Kunai = CB, UF+X
Damage: 11%
#Shadow throws a kunai (knife) up at a 45º angle. Air defence projectile.
Smoke Bomb = CB, DF+X or Y
Damage: 11%
#Shadow tosses an orb which explodes and releases a fire wave that travels
across the floor toward the opponent.

(-)LARCEN TYLER(-)__________________________________________________________
----------------
Style: Praying Mantis Kung Fu
Occupation: Ex-Cat Burglar
Stage: Chicago Theater
Time: 1920 AD
Defining Quote: "Violence is an acceptable option when your
opponent doesn't have the common sense to use any other
skills."
Taunt: "Punk!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Born in an era of crime bosses and racketeering, Larcen grew respecting
and idolizing the many powerful crime bosses who ruled the streets. As
a youth, he went to work for Mr.Taglalini, one of the most powerful crime
bosses. Under his wing, Larcen grew up to be one of the world's best cat
burglars. He did many illegal jobs for Mr.Taglalini, including the planting
of illegal evidence in other crime boss hideouts. There was one thing
that Larcen wouldn't do, and that was kill. Instead, he used martial arts
to stop and drop his attackers.
One day, Mr.Taglalini asked Larcen to plant a package on a supposed crime
boss who was recovering in the hospital. When he entered the room that
supposedly contained the boss, he instead found the now recovering chief of
police, who had been hurt in a prior assassination attempt. It seemed that
the mob wanted the chief dead because he was incorruptable, and was about
to declare war on the mob.
Larcen suddenly realized that he had been set up. The package he carried
probably contained a bomb. At this moment, Larcen decided that he had
chosen the wrong side. He wouldn't kill. Larcen attempted to throw the
bomb out of the window, but it was too late.
The bomb explosion not only killed both Larcen and the chief, but also most
of the hospital, including several youngsters in the children's wing.
GOAL-->
If Larcen gains a second chance he will use it to shut down Mr.Taglalini's
syndicate. Beyond that, he would like to use his second chance to find a
way to stop the criminal forces which he spent much of his life as part of.
His only absolution will be in destroying the forces that attempted to
destroy him.

Sai Throw = CBF+Y
Damage: 11%
#Larcen reaches inside his trenchcoat and throws a sai at the opponent.

Damage: 10%
#Larcen jumps back and throws his 'hook forwards at the enemy. This is a
handy move to have as you can do it whilst jumping. i.e: Jump at Xavier,

Style: Muay Thai Kickboxing
Occupation: Cyber-Fighter
Stage: Cyber Dome
Time: 2345 AD
Defining Quote: "Technology has been created to serve the
needs of humanity. When the opposite becomes true then our
futures will be empty and destroyed."
Taunt: "Wimp!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
R.A.X. (Robotic Artificial eXoskeleton) is a cyborg. Once, Coswell was one
of the best human kickboxers in the year 2345. Coswell's only problem was
that the sport was no longer about human competitiob, but a battle between
cyborgs, robotically enhanced human beings. Since the cyborgs could take
and deliver more da,age, the crowds began to stop attending the human
fights for the excitement provided by these new robotic combatants.
Given these changes, R.A.X. had no choice but to get cybernetic implants
and join the crooked game which was run by a deceitful fight promoter.
R.A.X. didn't trust this promoter, but needed his finacial support to
afford the cybernetic implant operation.
After the operation, R.A.X. rose through the ranks and won the right to
take on the champion. He was killed as a result of the corrupt fight
promoter trading R.A.X.'s life for a sure bet on the championship fight.
The promoter used an advanced electronic virus planted in R.A.X's
cybernetic brain during the implant operation to shut down all of his
vital systems. This shutdown was seconds before he was about to deliver
the fatal blow to the reigning champion.
GOAL-->
Upon returning as the winner from the contest, R.A.X. intends to win his
fight as well. Once the fight is won, R.A.X. will uncover the illegal
activities of the entire fighting organization, causing it to be dissolved.
He will also try to return the pursuit of martial arts back to its pure
human roots.

EXPLANATION OF MOVES-->
---------------------
-------------
#SPECIAL MOVES#
-------------
Lock and Load = [AB]
Damage: 10% +instant dizzy
#R.A.X folds his arms as a target seeks the opponent. Releasing the
buttons will cause R.A.X to fire a small energy bolt that will dizzy the
enemy on contact. Although very useful, this special as a LOT of wind-up
time. It also has to be done from the other side of the screen if you
want to be safe enough to try for the Vendetta.
Cyber Punch = (XYZ)
Damage: 14%
#R.A.X surges energy into his arm as he unleashes it as a lunge punch.
While not my favourite move, this does have it's uses. When combo'd it is
quite a devastating move.
Jet Knee Smash = CBF+C
Damage: 15% +wall smash
#Igniting his jets, R.A.X hovers as he raises his knees. He then thrusts
across the screen to deliver an awesome blow. Very useful to use as the
opponent can block this an R.A.X will land safely without fear of being
countered.
Overload = [AC]
Damage: 15%
#Drawing a huge amount of power to his central core, R.A.X fires a ball of
energy at the opponent. Good damage, Bad wind-up time. However, if you
perform this whilst in the middle of the Thrash 'n' Bash {CBF+(BC)} then
R.A.X will let the Overload fly with no charging animation! :)
Air Jets = CDU+B
Damage: 5% flame damage
#R.A.X leaps forwards and descends with his jump jets ignited. This move
is all but useless unless you wish to cross-up with it and even then it's
not that great.
Cyber Kick = (ABC)
Damage: 13%
#R.A.X redirects a surge of power to his leg to deliver a brutal kick.
This is just like the Cyber Punch, but R.A.X uses his leg instead.
Shockwave = CBF+(YZ)
Damage: 12%
#R.A.X blasts electricity through his fist as he punches the floor which
causes a ripple of energy to rise. There is not an awful lot of range on
this move, but it's enough to combo it.
-----------
#SKILL MOVES#
-----------
Atomic Knee = QCT+B
Damage: Up to 15% (3 Hits x 5%)
#R.A.X hops upward to strike with a charged knee attack. A great offensive
move for R.A.X as it's excellent in combos and is a part of a Power Combo.
Thrash and Bash = CBF+(BC)
Damage: Up to 15% (5 Hits x 3%)
#R.A.X executes a 5 Hit Muay Thai combo.
Jet Uppercut = CDU+Z
Damage: 12%
#R.A.X leaps forward with an uppercut powered with the force of his jets.
Although it's quite useful to take out jumping enemies with this, I don't
use it as I prefer to Turbine to confuse them.
Turbine = CBF+A
Damage: 0% (Invulnerability/escape)
#R.A.X pirouettes forward and sucks in opponents and projectiles. This
move has many uses. If used next to an enemy, R.A.X will suck them in,
pass through them and switch places. You will then have about half a
second to start a combo :) . If the opponent throws a projectile at you
then Turbine just before it hits and you shall pass through it unharmed.
Cool, ya?

Occupation: Prehistoric Hunter

Defining Quote: "Club Good, People Bad!"
Taunt: "Bum!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Slash was always advanced for a pre-man creature. He was the greatest
hunter and the greatest fighter of his generation. These skills didn't
just come from his great strength, but also from the emergence of an early
intelligence. Slash used this intelligence in his fighting, which meant he
could out-think most of his opponents.
His intelligence also got him into a lot of trouble. The cave elders
resented Slash for his intelligence, and rejected his every idea, including
an agricultural plan which would have freed the clan from its enslavement
to a life of drudgery as hunter-gatherers. The elders turned down this
idea at once , as they saw no value in having free time and enjoyed the
violence of the hunt.
One day, when Slash publicly spoke against the the elders in a clan meeting,
he was stoned to death by the clan when the elders proclaimed him to be an
evil force.
GOAL-->
If Slash was returned back to his life he would take charge and become the
new leader of the clan. Only through this direct leadership can Slash
teach his people new and better ways of living.

#SPECIAL MOVES#
-------------
Bone Breaker = F+Z (Next to Opponent in Mid-Air/Throw)
Damage: 16% +stun
#Slash gives the opponent no quarter as he drops down on top of them and
stomps upon their fallen body.
De-Claw = CBF+Z
Damage: 12%
#Slash ejects a sharp claw from his club. This is a great projectile
attack as it's so fast. In fact, you can launch one after the first one

Running Head Butt = CBF+C
Damage: 15% +wall smash
#Salsh charges toward the enemy with a tremendous headbutt. Nice damage,
but if the opponent blocks it then Slash backflips away. Sounds safe until
you see the speed at which he backflips. You WILL be punished if this
happens.
Power Thud Club Swing = Whilst jumping (YZ)
Damage: 0% (Dizzy)
#Slash falls to the ground with his club outstretched, which upon contact
with the floor will knock the opponent off their feet. Cool idea for a
move and the recoil after you land isn't long. You just have to mix-up
attacks for this to hit once in a while.
Fire Club = QCT+X
Damage: 12%
#Slash ejects a fireball from his club. It's a little slow but very
useful if used against a cornered opponent.
Ice Club = QCT+Y
Damage: 0% (Freeze)
#Slash ejects a spray of ice from his club. Now this is very useful. If
you manage to hit the opponent with this on the last round and they have
33% or less energy then you can do the Power Thud Club Swing and dizzy
them. All you have to do then is Vendetta them to death!
Spinal Crush = F+Y (Throw)
Damage: Up to 16% (4 Hits x4%)
#Slash grabs the enemy's waist with his feet and proceeds to dent their
head with his club. A solid and useable throw (If you can't get the
timing for his throw with Z).

Style: Capoeria
Occupation: Gladiator
Stage: Shores of Atlantis
Time: 110 BC
Defining Quote: "I may have been created by man, but a man I'm
not."
Taunt: "Freak!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Trident is so named becaise of the trident which replaced the hand he lost
in a duel with a shark.
The people of Atlantis during this time lived above the water. They were
competing with the romans to see would control the Earth's surface, with
the loser being plunged into the watery depths.
The atlanteans spent their time in the pursuit of science. They realized
early on that a major part of the land was going to sink into the ocean.
To handle this, they built great environments that were enclosed in bubbles
so that they could survive the ocean's depths.
They then offered a fair settlement to the Romans. Half of each each
culture would stay on land, and the other half would go to sea. the Romans
would not agree, and would only settle the issue through battle. So the
Atlanteans had no choice but to create a warrior that could stand up
against the warlike Romans. Trident was their champion.
The Romans rigged the fight and crushed Trident under a large stone pillar.
With their loss, the Atlanteans were forced unnecessarily undersea, and
their culture was lost forever.
GOAL-->
A victory for Trident would allow him and the people of Atlantis to share
the land with the Romans. Trident would also like to explore his role in
Man's future as Trident was a genetic creation and feels alone in his
existence.

Time: 2100 AD
Defining Quote: "When the science of man attempts to step
beyond the mortal realm, its mortality will be the most likely
price for such knowledge."
Taunt: "Weakling!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Mitchell worked for the CIA on loan from Interpol. Born in London,
Mitchell was one of the best bio-chemical scientists working in the
intelligence community. The CIA needed Mitchell to work on a bio-chemical
weapon to end the Vietnam War. Mitchell created a virus that would weaken
its victims until they hung near death, waiting for the antidote.
The virus was to be introduced into the water supply of Vietnam, but
Mitchell wouldn't stand for that much human destruction. He stole back
his formula and fled back to London to hide. Unfortunately, Mitchell was
cornered at the airport by both interpol and CIA agents. During the
escape, Mitchell fell from a nine-story building into a chemical storage
used by the airport. The force of the impact broke the seal of the virus
container and released the virus into the chemical vat.
This mixture creasted an unexpected result. Mitchell was transformed by
the mixture into a living vampire. Using his newfound cunning and
strength, Mitchell escaped and fled to London where he spent the next 133
years vainly searching for a cure for his disease. No longer identifying
with his past, Mitchell came to be known as Midknight.
The cure had become more important since the goverment used the virus
during the Vietnam War by using the contents of the airport chemical vat.
Many of the third-world countries were now over-run with living vampires.
Midknight was also running out of time because his body, with the exception
of his neck and face, was rotting away. This rotting was due to the fact
that Midknight wouldn't kill another person to renew his life energy.
Midknight was about to solve the last hitch in the antidote when a
government agent killed him by firing a firing a magnesium stake through
his heart.
GOAL-->
If Midknight should prevail in the contest, his goal would be to return and
rid himself of the self-induced sickness he suffers from. Once this cure
was found, he could also help all the other people in the world that have
been affected by this cruel fate.

Defining Quote: "Power doesn't corrupt absolutely, it instead

Taunt: "Simpleton!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Xavier always made bad career choices, so it was no surprise that his last
job ended in failure. After nailing still-smoking horseshoes onto the
mayor's prized workhorse, Xavier found himself with a shack full of
smithy tools and no job.
Stirred by a love for science, Xavier decided to try his hand at the
age-old quest for the formula which would turn lead into gold. Instead,
he found a way to create an unlimited source of cheap, clean-burning energy
that would put Salem on the map forever in addition, Xavier found his
alchemy had changed him, giving him strange new powers.
Before he could begin to use this power and document it for the good of
future generations, Xavier found himself bound and gagged as the people of
Salem carted him off to the town square. There they burned him at the
stake for the false charge of being a warlock.
While some of Xavier's powers could be mistaken for witchcraft, they are
all based on real science.
GOAL-->
Xavier's return back to his life would allow him to finish his studies of
the unlimited power source that he found. He would like to find a way to
use it without creating any great danger of giving another tool to evil.
He would also like to put a stop to the ignorance that led to many witch

(-)JONATHAN BLADE(-)________________________________________________________
------------------
Style: Kenpo
Occupation: Bounty Hunter
Stage: Syrian Desert Refinery
Time: 2030 AD
Defining Quote: "If you're coming on, come on!"
Taunt: "Loser!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Blade was one of the best cops that ever lived in the future. Born in
Syria, raised in Africa, Blade was dedicated to the extreme, working some
of the meanest parts of New Chicago.
He had, however, one small problem: his temper. After almost being killed
several times by a suspect during a case, Blade caught up to him. The
suspect again tried to kill Blade, who was able to sidestep the laser shot
and grab the suspect.
Being only human, Blade was out of patience. He proceeded to beat the
suspect to near death. The suspect survived, and sued the police. The
police fired Blade to hush the scandal, and he ended up moving back to
Syria to become a Bounty Hunter, which allowed him better use of his quick
temper. His final case dealt with a rogue scientist who had escaped a
government bio-weapons lab. The scientist was threatening to smash open a
vial containing a virus that would kill 95% of all human life if the
government did'nt stop all bio-research. The Syrian government hired Blade
to safely retrieve the vial. Blade agreed on one condition: they wouldn't
interfere. They agreed.
He cornered the scientist in an alley and radioed that the scientist agreed
to peacefully give up the vial. The government had followed Blade, and
took this moment to make their move. When shots from laser rifles filled
the alley the last image that Blade saw before he died was the smashed and
open vial of the virus.
GOAL-->
If Blade was to return his plan would be to get to the vial before it broke,
and to save the life of the rogue scientist. This would keep the virus
from being exposed and killing most of humanity with its destructive force.

#SPECIAL MOVES#

Stun Beam = CBF+Z
Damage: 0% (Freeze)
#Blade blasts a small ball of energy from his wristbands that freezes the
opponent in place for 5 seconds. Shot at head-height, these are OK to use
against jumping characters. Hit the opponent with this to setup a Combo.
Low Stun Beam = CBF+C
Damage: 0% (Freeze)
#Blade crouches and fires a Stun Bolt at the enemy. Shot at waist-height.
Combo's are needed after connection with this!
Straight Blade = CBF+(YZ)
Damage: 15%
#Blade launches a buzzsaw blade at head-height towards the opponent. If
it connects the enemy will be frozen as the blade wrecks havoc. It will
then explode and the hapless victim will fly back. Nice move this, but
the CPU tends to be the only one who can use them well. Study the CPU's
Pattern and learn! ^_^
Tracking Blade = CBF+(XY)

#Same as above, apart from the blade hovers stationary for half a second
before homing in on the opponent to cause damage.
Wild Fury Attack = [ABC]

#Blade leans forward and rapidly throws open palm slaps. Very good for
combos, nice damage and the Sound FX to this move are worth hearing.
Backfire = [AC]
Damage: 0% (Projectile neutralization)
#Blade projects a small target-like projectile at the enemy that will
negate their ability to cast fireball style attacks. It sounds like a
good move yet it moves so slow, can be blocked and these points make it
generally useless.
Personal Shield = (XYZ)
Damage: 0% (Damage limitation)
#Blade emits a small field that decreases all damage done to him by 50%.
However, you can not do any special moves (Some skill moves are possible)
and the main problem with this lies in the taking of damage. After a good
couple of hits the darn thing implodes, causing you extra damage! DOH!
Projectile Containment Field = (AB)

then descends with an explosive dive kick. The priority on this move is
great!! There are no real downsides to using this move at all.

#Blade shows that he is as hard as nails by using himself as a force to be

Stage: Blue Dragon Circus
Time: 1899 AD
Defining Quote: "The only revolution worth having is one which
would leave humanity forever with an everlasting peace, and
nothing short of this outcome is worth a single loss of life."
Taunt: "Bastard!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Jetta was always a rebel: as a youth she changed her given Russian name
to Jetta Maxx to sound more like a performer.
Born in Russia, cousin to Czar Nicholas II, Jetta traveled the world as a
performer in a famous international circus. During her many travels,
which included visits to France and Indonesia, she learned gymnastics and
martial arts.
In 1899, her circus troop visited China. At the time, Chain was being
ripped apart by the Boxer rebellion, the Chinese attempt to rid their
homeland of foreigners. Unfortunatly, many innocent Chinese were also
dying. Spurred by her compassion, Jetta decided to help infiltrate the
"Yihe Quang", or "Rightous Harmony Fists" and get them to turn their ways
to pacifism before the major foreign powers brought all their military
forces to bear. In addition Jetta foresaw that Russia's involvement in
the fighting of the East would further weaken her own governmant's
stability. Before Jetta was able to bring a peaceful end to the fighting
and change the history of Russia and China, she fell victim to an act of
sabotage by a radical from the Yihe Quang. Jetta's safety net and tension
wire cut, Jetta plummeted to her death during the grand performance for
the crown emperor of China.
GOAL-->
If Jetta was to win her chance to return, she would work to stop the damage
and destruction that both the Chinese and Russian revolutions will bring.
Her efforts would be to find a way for change to occur without bloodshed.

(-)RIPTIDE (Sophia DeMedici)(-)_____________________________________________
-----------------------------
Style: Kajukenbo
Occupation: Pirate
Stage: Off the Barbary Coast
Time: 1566 AD
Defining Quote: "The sea derives its power from its depth and
cold nature, and I believe these same elements supply my
personal strength as well."
Taunt: "Sea Dog!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Riptide was once named Sophia De Medici, a member of the infamous Italian
family. Her name and identity were all but wiped out when she left Italy
to pursue her fortune off the Barbary Coast, North Africa.
She left because she grew up in a household where everything was given to
her but nothing could be earned. Her family insisted on an arranged
marriage to an Italian crime lord that promised to join power with her
family. Given this she had no choice but to leave her destined fortune and
begin a new life in a place where she would never be discovered.
At this point in tim., the Barbary Coast was the centrepoint of the pirate
era. Corsairs, or Pirates as they were more commonly known, were at the
height of their dominance. There wasn't a spot in the Ocean where Pirates
couldn't strike.
Sophia used what little family money she had at the time to purchase a ship
that would allow her to compete with these Pirates. She also worked on a
martial art system very similar to a system from the future called
Kajukenbo, which gave her renowned hand to hand fighting skills.
It was during this time that she became known as Riptide, the most feared
of the female Pirates. There were three other famous female Pirates, but
what made Riptide famous was tshe didn't take from the weak, but instead
took from the tyranny directly, the pirates themselves. Her time was
filled with many amazing and dangerous battlesagainst the greatest pirates
of that time.
It was a single man that caused her doom. His name was Hannibal and he was
not only a powerful pirate, but also controlled many powerful criminal
organizations around the World. When somebody went against Hannibal, he
didn't just exact revenge on them, but also everyone connected to them.
During a nighttime raid, Riptide was taking some buried treasure that
Hannibal had buried on his island. Unfortunatly, she under-estimated
Hannibal and was killed by a shovel blow to the back of the head while
trying to steal his ill-gotten treasure.
Hannibal, realising that She was more than just a Pirate, used her attack
as an excuse to attack and destroy the entire De Medeci family by using
his various crime organizations. Their destruction had a massive negative
effect on the timeline, including the loss of several undiscovered works
of Leonardo DaVinci that the family was hiding until the World could handle
their meanings.
These works had tremendous religious and scientific implications which
would be realised in the 21st century.
Without the works of Leonardo and the influence of this massive family
line, a future renaissance was never realised.
If Riptide could return, she would destroy Hannibal and others like him
to end the pirate era and to allow her family's destiny to be fulfilled.
GOAL-->
The return of Riptide would allow her to stop Hannibal before he can
destroy her family and rob history of many treasures that they will
protect until the World is ready. She will also return to the sea
and free it of the scourge of maniacal pirates so that there isn't
another to replace Hannibal and his type.

(-)RAMSES III(-)____________________________________________________________
--------------
Style: Hung Gar Kung Fu
Occupation: Pharaoh
Stage: Abu Simbel Temple
Time: 1151 BC
Defining Quote: "Great leaders are created from the strength
and character of their followers."
Taunt: "Jackal!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Ramses III was the last strong Pharoah of Egypt. Eighty years after his
death, Egypt started a long decline into overwhelming bureaucracy where
Pharoahs were little more than figureheads and Alexander the Great would
be considered the "Son of Amon" and assume the throne in the third
century B.C., or it would have have declined if Ramses III wasn't
assassinated before his time.
The lone assassin had spent many working his way into a postion of trust
within the Royal Court and the Pharoah felt no fear turning his back on
the man would would end his life. The killer was cruel enough to choose
a method of execution that was particularly terrifying to the Pharoah.
Though Ramses was a brave fighter and fearless leader, he had never
learned to swim, and the thought of drowning haunted his dreams often.
Ramses was overseeing the construction of a new temple situated on the
bank of the Nile, and he had climbed a tall hill of freshly excavated
earth for a better view of a site. The killer knew the time was right,
and pushed Ramses off of the hill and into the Nile below.
Ramses III drowned before he could father the son that would have become
his successor and before he could rally his armies into beating back the
warriors of the Ancient who were threatening to take over the rich Nile
delta.
After his assassination, Egypt was taken over by the invaders, and over
the centuries, the new Pharoahs raised armies strong enough to stop
Alexander the Great and his Roman legions from taking over Persia
and Egypt.
The changes these events created in the timestream were significant.
The Egyptian Empire grew powerful and lasted beyond the twenty-first
century. Many countries that would have been controlled by the Roman
Empire were either overrun by the Egypian Empire or were driven out of
their homelands into what would have become Russia.
The end result was a future devoid of many different cultures, which
drained the Human Spirit of its originality and spirit, damning it just
as much as the loss of humanity in the other champions' failed time lines.
GOAL-->
The original would of history would be restored if Ramses was able to
return back to his life. His returned existance would allow his rule to
be completed and Alexander the Great would meet his famous history in
succeeding to become Pharoah of Egypt.

(-)RAVEN GINDAR(-)__________________________________________________________
----------------
Style: Tae Kwon Do/Hsing-i Kung Fu
Occupation: Voodoo Preistess & Healer
Stage: Shengo Village
Time: 1802 AD
Defining Quote: "Real magic is only given to true believers,
otherwise it perverts into the worst type of evil."
Taunt: "Zombie!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Raven was from a long line of Arawak healers and was herself a great
healer in her tribe. She possessed a magical hourglass that had been
handed down from generation to generation which allowed her to completely
control very small segments of time. The healers used the hourglass
sparingly because it sapped the life-force of it's user every time it
was activated.
Raven and many of the other Arawak women were abducted by a Carib raiding
party and bought back to the village of Shengo on the island of Trinidad.
Once in the Carib Village, the women were intergrated into the new
society. Over the years, Raven became highly respected for her white
magic abilities and the villagers revered her as a powerful Voodoo
Priestess.
The admiration that the villagers felt toward the young healer didn't
sit well with the aging Carib high priest, Raknook, who was feared by the
villagers because of his use of black magic against his rivals.
Late one night, Raknook feigned illness and sent for Raven. As soon as
she was alone with the priest, Raven sensed she was in danger. Before she
could react, Raknook cast a dark spell that turned the power of Raven's
hourglass against her and transferred all of her life energy into his
withered body, killing her and rejuvenating him in the process.
GOAL-->
Raven's return to her life will allow her to reverse the spell of the
evil Raknook, taking his life instead of hers. With his death, Raven
can free herself and the others so that they can return back to their
home free to pursue their lives as they wish.

#SPECIAL MOVES#
-------------
Time Smash = [XY]
Damage: Up to 15% (1 Sec=5%, 2 Secs=10%, 3 Secs=15% +wall smash)
#Raven charges her Hourglass with mystic energy. Holding down the buttons
for longer causes more damage when the hourgalss hits. Although not really
possible to combo with it, it has it's uses to stop an opponents barrage.
Voodoo Attack = ~AC~
Damage: Up to 15%
#Raven uses her Voodoo know-how as she pulls out a lil' doll of the enemy
and starts to punch it!?! The opponent then gets hit by this mystic force.
This is one of the most original moves in a beat 'em up:) There is a
small problem with this move... the speed. You have to hold down the
buttons and wait for it to start, the enemy is more than likely trying to
hit you at the time. However, if you do get it to hit.. it's quite funny.
Time Add/Subtract = QCT+(AB) or QCT+(BC)
Damage: 0% (Affect timer)
#Raven throws her Hourglass up to the heavens to add or subract time from
the battle timer. Simple really.
Pressing (AB) = Add time to timer.
Pressing (BC) = Subtract time to timer.
Double Fang Kick = (ABC)
Damage: Up to 18% (6 Hits x 3%)
#Raven unleashes a furious 6-Hit kicking combo. Muy useful.
Create Void = QCT+Z
Damage: Up to 16%
#Raven smashes her Hourglass into the floor. This then causes a temporal
void that sucks the opponent into it to cause damage. Not really that
useful, but try to use it once in a while to surprise opponents.
Time Split = CBF+(YZ) Then A,B or C to reappear
Damage: 0% (Multi-Teleport)
#Raven holds out her Hourglass then disappears, then reappears either at
the Left, the Middle or the Right of the screen with an attack of your
choice. When you first teleport press either:-
Pressing A = Reappear at the Left Side of the Screen
Pressing B = Reappear in the Middle of the Screen
Pressing C = Reappear at the Right Side of the Screen
After pressing a button to command the teleport, the next button pressed
will attack with it's standard attack (i.e Heavy Kick). If no buttons are
pressed to command the teleportation then the appearances are random.
Destabilize Time = [XYZ]
Damage: 0% (Speed limitation)
#Raven pours power into the 'Glass which causes a temporal disturbance.
Basically this slows down the opponents movements to equal that of walking
through mud. The wind-up on this move is soooo silly! It takes ages! But,
if you want your opponent stupidly slow..... You gotta pay the price.
-----------
#SKILL MOVES#
-----------
Time Fold = CBF+X
Damage: 0% +reflect x2 (Projectile reversal x2)
#Raven creates a field that reflects projectiles back at opponents and uses
the energy from the projectile to cast her own projectile! It's a reflect,
so it's gotta be good, right? Well.. it would be, if I could figure out if
you can fire the 2nd projectile whenever you reflect the 1st.. The fireball
she throws seems to be random.. >_< Does anyone know how to throw it
everytime????
Serpent Rainbow = CBF+A
Damage: Up to 16% (2 Hits x 8%)
#Raven high-kicks as her snake tattoo comes alive and dives towards the
floor in an arc. Real nice Air-Defence, quite good damage and the best
thing about this move is it's annoyance potential!!
Raven's Fury = Whilst jumping QCT+B
Damage: Up to 15% (3 Hits x 5%)
#Raven curls into a ball to deliver a 3-Hit rolling dive. Hmm.. the moves
priority isn't great, but it is fast. The recoil on the move is small too.
Mambo Combo = CBF+(BC)
Damage: Up to 15% (5 Hits x 3%)

Style: Shotowando
Occupation: Gambler
Stage: Hangtown Mine
Time: 1849 AD
Defining Quote: "The only luck I ever needed was skill."
Taunt: "Weasel!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Dawson had been a loner most of his life; he had never known his Mother
and his father was shot by a highwayman when Dawson was fifteen. He left
his native Scotland soon after the funeral and eventually became a
professional gambler travelling from town to town and city to city.
By the time Dawson was twenty-five years old, he was infamous throughout
Europe's casinos and gambling houses as a gambler who could break the
house's bank and devastate it's bar in a brawl, all in one evening.
Dawson had an aversion to firearms and relied on his fists to settle the
disputes that often arose from his frequent winning streaks. His fighting
style was a unique blend of martial arts and bar-room brawling techniques.
Tall tales of the Wild West had always intrigued Dawson and news of high
stakes being created by the recent Gold Rush drew Dawson to the untamed
west.
He wound up it a mining boom town and was unwittingly sucked into a
confrontation between the townsfolk and a powerful but ruthless landowner
named Homer Jenkins.
Just as Dawson arrived in town, he saw a man setting fire to the Sheriff's
Office. The arsonist ran when he knew that had been spotted and Dawson was
about to give chase when he heard a cry for help coming from within the
burning building. Dawson pulled the semi-conscious Sheriff from the
inferno, but it was too late, the Sheriff was dying.
The Sheriff's lasst request was that Dawson become a deputy to catch the
arsonist, Homer Jenkins' son, Bill Jenkins and bring him to trial. Bill
Jenkins had burned the Sheriff's office in order to escape being arrested
for a slew of recent crimes and the dying man knew that the townsfolk
would be too afraid to form a posse in order to capture the outlaw son
since the elder Jenkins controlled so much of the town.
Dawson agreed and the Sheriff pinned a Star onto the Scotsman's vest just
before he died. Dawson captured Bill Jenkins, but was ambushed on his way
to the makeshift courthouse and strung up by Homer Jenkins before the
circuit judge could hear the case. Homer and his son escaped prosecution
because no one in town would testify against them.
GOAL-->
If Dawson was returned back to his life he would make sure that the
Jenkins' were bought to justice. He would then travel the West, moving
through various adventures in which he would use his native fighting,
gambling, and newfound justice skills.

Damage: 13%

Roll the dice.. even down to the beating you'll get for using it!
Dual Knife Throw = CBF+X
Damage: 11%
#Dawson throws two knives that are concealed in his sleeves. A little

Spit Attack = CBF+(YZ)

slows down to a snails pace.
Pony Tail Strike = CBF+(XY)

attack of a punch and a stomp. OK.. This move is SO unfair on Humans..
How the hell are you meant to block it?? I think I've tried everything
but to no avail. However, if you are using Dawson it's a great move to
foil constant projectile throwers. :)

(-)CHIN WO(-)_______________________________________________________________
-----------
Style: Monkey Kung Fu
Occupation: Acupuncturist
Stage: Stone Monkey Temple
Time: 1815 AD
Defining Quote: "As a point of a needle can both heal and hurt
so can a man. In my life I have done both, one by choice, the
other by force."
Taunt: "Fool!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Chin Wo was one of the best fighters in China but spent most of his time
healing. One day a cousin of the ruling class challenged Chin to a fight.
Chin refused knowing that if he won it would surly mean death. Chin, a
proud man, wouldn't lose either. This left him only one choice which was
not to fight. The cousin made life very hard on Chin but he wouldn't budge
from his decision. Finally, in a last attempt to get Chin to fight, the
cousin killed an innocent street beggar and framed Chin. He told Chin that
he could get the charges dropped if Chin would consent to a public fight.
Chin at this point saw death in either choice and chose to accept the
murder charges rather than give the the cousin what he most desired.
This led to his head being seperated from his neck in a public execution.
If Chin was to win a second charge, he would stop the death of the beggar
and settle the fighting issue on his own terms.
GOAL-->
If Chin Wo was allowed to return back to his life he would clear his name
and return back to his career of healing. He would then become an advocate
for other common people who were framed for crimes that they didn't commit.

Aura of Life = (XYZ)
Damage: 8% +10% Life recovery
#Chin Wo stands tall as he is covered in an aura that gathers intensity
until it casts it's energy outward in the shape of a fireball. Great move,
you gain a little life when using it and it throws a projectile. True,
the start-up is slow, but if you gain a little life back who's complaining?
Tree of Tranquility = (YZ)
Damage: 0% (Invunerability)
#Chin Wo becomes one with the Forest Spirits and becomes a tree. Just don't
use this if you fight Yappy.... :P
You become invunerable with this move. And you can cancel it earlier by
pressing any button.
Wheel of Steelwater = CBF+(AB)
Damage: 1% +freeze
#Chin Wo morphs into a bubble of water that freezes enemies on touch.
Heh, abuse this as much as you can! The opponent can't hit you when you
are the bubble and it's a pig to get to him if they block it. If the enemy
jumps however, you could get in trouble.. but not always :)
Iron Monkey = (BC)
Damage: 0% (Damage limitation)
#Chin Wo envelopes himself in an Iron skin. You seem to take half the
amount of damage that you should. There doesn't seem to be a downside to
this move... hmm... there has to be.
Fireball Spell = QCT+Y
Damage: 10%
#Chin Wo casts a fireball straight at the foe. Standard fireball kinda
move. Standard damage.. but, if you use the Iron Monkey beforehand..
the Fireball is Yellow?? Is there a difference? I can't see one..
Needle Shot = CBF+Z

move is possibly his best. Fast, nice damage and best of all, it dizzies!
Setup some nice combos or his Vendetta with this!
Playful Monkey Boy = CBF+C
Damage: 10%
#Chin Wo leaps over his opponent and plants his heel in the back of their
head! Ok, so it's not going to win fights because of it's slowness, but
still try to use it as it can be a major surprise. The only major
downside to this move is that it can ONLY be executed when next to your
opponent. Just as well it can be combo'd then, aye?
Little Drunken Monkey = QCB+C
Damage: 0% (Fake Dizzy)
#Chin Wo acts like the Intoxicated Chimp and fumbles.
This is quite useful, it's a fake dizzy.. So, use it as you get up to trick

Style: Green Beret Technique
Occupation: Green Beret
Stage: Song Hong Delta
Time: 1955 AD
Defining Quote: "Might doesn't always make right, but most of
the time a couple of good kicks to the head will cause most
people to come around to your way of thinking."
Taunt: "Hippie!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
Blast was the one of the first special forces agents to perform gun and
weapon running to Vietnam. At this time, the U.S. was only involved in
supporting the French effort to hold their influence in Vietnam. Blast,
a chopper pilot, was tasked with the duty of making clandestine drops of
weapons over the enemy lines.
Blast made many of his runs with a man named Redux. During his final run
before being scheduled for service back in the States, he run into trouble.
His final drop went fine and he was about to take off for base when Redux
surprised him. It seems that Redux was a double agent for Vietnam. Redux
pulled the pin on a grenade and ran from the helicopter that was about to
lift-off. Because Blast was strapped in for take-off, he was unable to
remove his harness in time and blown up in the resulting explosion.
If Blast was given a given a second chance he would take out Redux before
he could be double-crossed.
GOAL-->
Succeeding in the journey back to his life, Blast will first take care of
Redux with extreme prejudice. With that finished, Blast will get out of
the business of war and use his skills to rescue prisoners of war and
terrorism for the rest of his years.

(-)THANATOS(-)______________________________________________________________
------------
Style: Time, Fate and Fisticuffs
Occupation: God of Death
Stage: Salem
Time: 1692 AD
Defining Quote: "Death is but a door, and I'm the doorman."
Taunt: "Corpse!"
BIOLOGY-->
In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the God of death. He dwelt with his
brother Hypnos (Sleep) in the underworld.
He operated at his post without interruption until the year 1692 A.D.
When during a routine pick-up of a soul he was confronted by a force that
was neither evil nor good.
This force seemed to exist in an indiescribable middle ground that gave it
powers that Thanatos was no match for. This force turned him into a mortal
named Vaspian, a mortal who was thought to be a warlock and was hence
killed during the witch hunts of Salem.
This force then took the form of Death and has been performing the role
ever since. It seems that this force is changing of death by taking lives
that aren't meant to be taken so soon, and other bizarre behavior.
GOAL-->
The goal once the contest has been won would be for Thanatos to attempt
to return to his post as the immortal God of Death. In order to do this,
Thanatos would need the help of a force greater than even himself.

#SPECIAL MOVES#
-------------
Death Shot = QCT+Z
Damage: 10%
#Thanatos hoists his Scythe up on rest on his shoulder and uses it like
a Bazooka! Not the best of projectiles as the wind-up is fairly slow.
Chakan Cut = Whilst jumping (XYZ)
Damage: 10%
#Thanatos extends his Scythe as he spins in a ball like a madman from his

complaint I have is... Don't overuse it. If it's blocked, you die. Simple.
Hellfire Rising = QCB+A,B, or C
Damage: 10%
#Thanatos throws a Molotov Cocktail at the floor which sends a stream of
fire skyward. The distance of the plume of fire depends on the button used.
Pressing A = Close to Thanatos

Similar to Midknights' Flying Wall Smash without the speed, really.

It's a teleport, 'Nuff said.

#SKILL MOVES#
-----------
Headstone Block = CBF+X

(-)SENATOR(-)_______________________________________________________________
-----------
Style: Dishonesty
Occupation: Politician (Puppet of the Lobbyist)
Stage: Washington DC
Time: 1995 AD
Defining Quote: "Violence is the problem with violence."
Taunt: "Citizen!"
BIOGRAPHY-->
The Senator made a living by voting the ways of special interest groups
and creating issues to make himself popular. Given his lifetime membership
in the good-old-boys club, he was surprised when he wasn't supported by his
party for re-election.
It seems that he once voted for a Human rights issue and his party was
angry that Humanity was considered above their personal profits.
When he lost in a landslide election after spending millions of his own
money, he died of a massive heart attack.
GOAL-->
If the Senator was to recover from his bad case of death by winning the
contest, he would attempt to came back and make up for his years of civil
abuse, maybe.

Red Tape = CBF+Y
Veto = CBF+(XY)

Impeach = (ABC)
Damage: 0% (Invisibility)
#Senator raises his hand in a peace sign... Then vanishes in the most unfair
move he can muster. I wouldn't mind.. but even his shadow vanishes, making

it I suppose...
Ban Violence = CBF+C

Section 11.4 _______________________________________________________________
-----------------
#IT'S A BUG'S LIFE#
-----------------
Here is a little list of bugs:-
R.A.X 's Jet Jump
-----------------
Press Y just before you land from a jump and instead of flying forward with
an uppercut, R.A.X leaps forward whilst in his descending animation.
R.A.X 's Instant Overload
-------------------------
If you perform an Atomic Knee and immediatly hold down the buttons for the
Overload. Upon landing R.A.X will fire the Overload shot across the screen.
Xavier's Double Confusion Bug
-----------------------------
If you have a Xavier Vs Xavier match-up then watch out for this little bug.
You'll need to turn off the inner strength for this to work. With one of
the Xaviers perform his Posession Spell.. then hold down the buttons for
the Confusion Spell. The person who cast the Possession spell will then
cast the Confusion spell as soon as they switch body... but, when the spell
hits your original body... YOU'LL be the one who is confused.. even though
your original body is the one flashing.
Ramses III's Sun Reflection Bug
-------------------------------
Upon use of a certain combo (J HK, C WP, C MP, CBF+Z) the first part of the
Sun Reflection will not execute. Instead, as soon as you commit the move
it will fire off the "fireball" 2nd half without drawing the beam from the
sky first. In a way, this makes this move better in this situation as the
beam from above would render the combo useless.

Wow. This is my biggest FAQ yet.. More than likely my largest ever. And
it's taken me far too long to do!! :P I've enjoyed researching everything I
could about this game and I truly wish that a Dreamcast sequel would be
made. I hope that you've enjoyed the FAQ and found it helpful in your
little quest to understand this game a little better. If you have any
