This FAQ is based on Slam Dunk SD Heatup for Snes. I've only played this
game on Zsnes which is an Snes Emulator. Slam Dunk is an Anime / Manga about
Basketball. It also has 4 movies which are stories in between the Anime
series. To learn more about Slam Dunk , visit the websites located at the
links section. Sorry , If you cannot understand some of my English , because
I'm not that good in speaking English. Most info here (most specially the
game menu , advanced skills & game genie codes) are from other gamers at the
GameFAQs messageboard who are playing this game too.

===================
6. Advanced Skills
===================
In this section , you will know some of the advanced skills that can be done
in the game and how to do them. I got some of this info from other gamers on
the GameFAQs messageboard.


  ----------------
   6.1 Super Move
  ----------------
  Each player in any team has a super move that can be done once in a while.
  To do this , simply press the X button when the yellow super bar (located
  at the top of the screen near the score) is completely full. The yellow
  super bar increases automatically when you are running across the court.
  It decreases when the opponent shoots , steals the ball on you or
  sometimes when you commit a foul.


   ---------------
    6.2 Slam Dunk
   ---------------
   Only Centers and Power forwards can do this move. To do this , press and
   hold the A button when approaching the ring then press the Y button.
   This move can only be stopped by fouling and cannot be blocked.


   ---------------
    6.3 Fade away
   ---------------
   This move is exclusive only to 3 players in the game. They are Rukawa of
   Shohoku , Sendoh of Ryonan and Hanagata of Shoyo. To do this , press the
   Y button quickly when your guard is approaching you. This move has great
   accuracy for a sure shot and can only be blocked with a correct timing.

   ----------------
    6.4 Alley hoop
   ----------------
   To do this easier , choose the same offense that Ryonan uses. There are
   two ways to do this , but it seems to me that both randomly works.

      ---------------------
       6.4.1 1st Variation
      ---------------------
      Pass the ball to your PG , highlight your PF or C , go to the 3-point
      lane and pass it to your PF or C.

      ---------------------
       6.4.2 2nd Variation
      ---------------------
      Pass the ball to your PG , highlight your PF or C , go to the 3-point
      lane and press Down , Down-Forward , Forward + B.
