Character movelist

Here a little info to know, some characters can do there moves twice,
it,s forward down-forward to do the uppercut, but if you enter the command
after he does the firstt one he will do a second in the air, this can be very helpful
in combos.


Syoh
I'm guessing he is the main character, Syoh is a japanese fighter who looks like a ninja,
but his fighting style is a lot like capcom's ryu.


Fireball (projectile)                                | Down-forward    + Any Punch

(very powerful)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rating- 9
He has a good set of moves and easy to control, great for a beginners and experts.
His kicking storm is powerful, but if it is blocked, you are left open for attack.




Body
Body is a robotic cop on the space colony, his limbs are not attached so they float instead.

( it's a anti-air move)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rating: 7
Body's unique figthing style and being a charge basic person is a pretty nice combination
for his type of character.Good for intermediate or expert players.




Altia
Altia is a solider in the air force of the future. She is a female spin-off of Guile.


Rush uppercut                                       | Charge back, then Forward + Any Punch

Ground spark (projectile)                           | Charge back, then Forward-Down-back  + Any Punch
(this move takes time)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rate: 8
Altia's uppercut is very powerful if used right, but she still is female copy of Guile in my opinion.
She is good for a intermediate player



Chan
Chan is a famous martial artist from china, who has a ok design.


Fireball                                            | Down-forward + Any Punch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rising Dragon Kick                                  | Forward, Down-forward + Any Kick
(can be done twice, and a anti-air move)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rate: 6
Chen's Spinning dragon is good for ending a combos and he has very good speed, but
his other attacks lack a bit. Good for a beginner.




Ranmaru
Ranmaru is a copy of SNK's Mai in looks, but her moves are alot like Syoh's.
(is Snk back? or are they still gone? well...anyway.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uppercut                                            | Forward, Down-forward + Any Punch
(can be done twice, and it is a anti-air)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rate: 8
She may look like Mai, but her normal style of fighting with her speed and aglity can
be hard for your opponents to deal with, Ranmaru is more for a intermediate player.




Wolvan
Wolvan is a lycanthrope fighter from transylvania, and is also my favorite character.


Wolf Fist combo                         |(Can only be done when dashing at opponent)
                                                            Down-forward + Any Punch (#1)
                                                            Down-forward + Any Punch ,for Punch #2 (after punch #1)
(Great for starting or ending a combo)

Burning wolf attack                                | Back-down-forward + Any Punch
(can also be use as a anti-air)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolf rage attack                                   | (during jump) Down, Down + Any Punch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(great for ending a combo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolf slash( projectile)                            | Forward, Back-down-forward + Any Punch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rate: 9
Wolvan is great all-around when mastered, his wolf rage and wolf biltz is very powerful,
but he still could have been even better. Wolvan is more for advance players.




Jian
Jian is a pirate, who has a mouth like a bear trap.


Uppercut attack                                    | Charge back, then forward + Any Punch
                                                    Forward + Punch for a second hit (during first punch)
                                                    Forward + Punch for a third hit (during second punch)
(must have good timing)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pounce attack                                      | Forward-down-back, down + Punch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rolling Pounce                                     | Charge down, the up + Any Kick
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rate: 5
Jian uppercut attack is good, but he still lacks in my opinion.



Watts
A big built guy, in a yellow cyber like suit with a spiked hair.


360 fist smash                                    | Back-down-forward + Any Punch
(must be close to opponent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mega splash                                       | Charge (hold) Any Punch button, then press any direction and release
(near opponent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mega dropkick                                     | Charge (hold) Any kick button, then press any direction and release
(near opponet)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rate: 3
Watts can move fast if controlled right, but he just sucks. Remember this is my opinion only,
you might like this character.




Zero
He is the last boss of the game, he has a pretty cool look. Zero is a cheap fighter so don't
surprised if (when) he cheats. If anyone figuers out how the unlock him please tell me.
