FAQ by: Fire_Pro_Fan
________________________________________________
Published by Hudson Soft in 1995, Saikyou Pro Wrestling
Takada Nobuhiko is a 2D Fighting game released exclusively
in Japan for the Super Famicom Entertainment System.
At the time, Saikyou was the only game exclusively licensed
by the Union of Wrestling Forces International (or UWFI for
short) and as, such features a cast of the greatest Shoot
Fighters and Wrestlers of the era all under different aliases
except for one particular Wrestler, the UWFI's founder and
biggest star Nobuhiko Takada.
In comparison to the slew of Fighting games released
during the Fighting game craze of the early 1990's, Saikyou
has a larger emphasis on more realistic fighting with Pro
Wrestling overtones.
In this guide, we'll cover all of the different Wrestlers,
their specials, Ultra Combos, the various modes to play from
and an extensive amount of tricks/secrets hidden within the
game.

UPDATE - 3/25/2016:
___________________
After gathering an extensive amount of player data and
gameplay mechanics (special thanks to the Shoot Fighting
Guru: Emerson Bostwick), I have decided to rewrite this
FAQ from the ground up with many much needed corrections
all written in an easier to read format.
========================================================
******THE CONTROLS******
========================================================
===============
While standing:
===============
Up - Block high attacks
Down - Block low attacks
Left - Move in the left direction
Right - Move in the right direction
Y - Punch
B - Kick
A - Grapple (varies from Wrestler to Wrestler)
A + Forward/Back - Suplex/alternate grapple (varies from Wrestler)
A + Down/Up - Alternate grapples (varies from Wrestler)
L- Dash Back
R- Dash Forward
=======================================
while opponent is laying on the ground:
=======================================
A- Submission hold/ ground attack (varies from Wrestler
to Wrestler)
===========================
while laying on the ground:
===========================
L or R - move towards the left or right sides of the
ring to escape a submission hold
Button mash - escape a submission hold applied by opponent/
attempt to get up when "DOWNED".
=================
Special commands:
=================
Up/down- Guardbreak (must be timed correctly for each attack)
A - Reversal (must be timed correctly for each attack. Varies
fromWrestler to Wrestler)
X + A- Ultra Combo (while in Rage mode)
========================================================
******THE GAMEPLAY******
========================================================
============
Stamina Bar:
============
The purple energy meter above each players's name used
to determine the health status and recovery rate of both
players.
The more damage either player takes, the slower the recovery
rate will be for each player.
The Stamina bar naturally refills by refraining from attacks,
grapples, submission holds/being subjected to submission
holds or being knocked down.
===============
Submission Bar:
===============
The blue energy meter below the Stamina Bar. When a
submission move is applied to either player, the Submission
Meter decreases.
When the Submission Meter is fully depleted, the downed
opponent will submit and lose the match. Just like the
Stamina Meter,the Submission Meter can also slowly refill
by refraining from attacks and avoid applying/being subjected
to submission holds.
The more damage a Wrestler takes, the easier it will be
for them to submit, even if their Submission Bar is fully
refilled.
==========
Rage Mode:
==========
When either player's Stamina Bar is low on energy
and either player is close to receiving a "down" both
players Stamina Bars' will begin flashing repeatedly.
While each Stamina Bar is flashing, both players will enter
"Rage Mode" and are then able to use Special Combos, have
increased attack power, faster speed, contain an increased
number of close ranged combos and are even able to perform
amazing Ultra combos.
Rage can be re-activated without limit throughout the
duration of each match.
=============
Guard Breaks:
=============
Technical defensive counters used to interrupt an opponent's
attack by timing a low or high block.
If the correct block is timed successfully against the
opponent's attack, a guardbreak will then be initiated;
stunning the opponent and giving the player who initiated
the guardbreak a short opportunity chance to attack the
opponent.
===========
Grogginess:
===========
When either player loses an extensive amount of stamina
(usually exceeding a fully depleted Stamina bar) either from
a Special move, a custom combo or from an Ultra combo.
Once the character returns to their feet after the Referee
calls a "DOWN" (and avoids being counted out), they will then
display an altered and slower fighting stance.
While a player is in groggy state, they will unable to move
for a couple seconds; giving the opponent a small window of
time to land a free shot or grapple.
=============
Ultra Combos:
=============
A special super combo alotted to each Wrestler in
the game.
The Ultra Combo can only be triggered while in Rage Mode
and is only activated when the first hit of the combo
successfully connects.
As long as a Wrestler is in Rage Mode, an Ultra Combo
can be repeated constantly.
=========================================================
******THE MODES******
=========================================================
=========
SPARRING:
=========
The training mode of the game where Players can create
and level up a Wrestler of choice by fighting against
Computer opponents.
After each victory, experience points are rewarded based
on the level of the opponent. The higher the level of the
Computer opponent, the higher the amount of experience
points are rewarded.
The level of the opponent can be adjusted at will before
the start of each match. The experience points system
found at the end of each match is as follows:
-1st row "STAMINA": adjusts the endurance of a Wrestler.
-2nd row "PUNCH. Pow": adjusts the attack power of a Wrestler.
-3rd row "PUNCH. LV": adjusts a Wrestler's defense against punches.
-4th row "KICK. Pow": adjusts the kick power of a Wrestler.
-5th row "KICK. LV": adjusts a Wrestler's defense against kicks.
-6th row "SUPLEX. Pow": adjusts the Suplex power of a Wrestler.
-7th row "SUPLEX. LV": adjusts a Wrestler's defense against Suplexes.
-8th row "SUBMISSION": adjusts a Wrestler's Submission power and
Submission defense level.
-9th row "SPEED": adjusts a Wrestler's agility in battle.
-10th row "BONUS": extra experience points rewarded at the end of each
match which can be used to customize any of the 9 other
experience areas.

========================================================
******SECRETS, TRICKS AND CODES******
========================================================
========================
Unlock Title Match mode:
========================
To unlock the Title Match mode, play through "Story"
mode with any character and become world Champion. Once
the game's credits are finished, press "start" to return
to the main menu and choose to play through "Story" mode
once again. At the character selection screen, choose your
new World Champion (the character you used to complete "Story"
mode with the first time, now indicated with a championship
belt icon next to their portrait).
After "Story" mode's brief intro, a new menu will be unlocked
and displayed before each match enabling the ability to change
arenas and customize match types.
===============================
Easier Opponents in STORY mode:
===============================
Start Story Mode with a created Wrestler WITHOUT any
Championship victories. The created wrestler's level should
be at a minimum of level 10 from training in the SPARRING mode.
Since the opponent's level starts at level 00 to begin with (and
increases with every STORY mode championship victory), this will
give your created Wrestler an unfair advantage over the competition.
The higher your created character's level, the greater the advantage
is while starting off.
=======================================
More difficult opponents in STORY mode:
=======================================
With every championship victory your created character
wins in STORY mode (which is displayed by a small Championship
belt icon next to your created character's name in the STORY
mode character selection screen).
The number of Championship belts you have acquired
determines the difficultly of the competition in STORY
mode. The championship system works the same way as the
level system in SPARRING mode. The more championship belts
you acquire, the greater the stats and difficulty each opponent
becomes. Level 00 is the default difficultly and increases to
99 Championships (or Level 99 difficulty).
Furthermore, STORY mode's difficulty setting is not interchangeable.
Each created Wrestler must reach the 99 championship difficulty
individually.
=======================
SPARRING mode strategy:
=======================
While levelling up in SPARRING mode, strive to keep your
created character's stats evenly balanced. Favoring specific
stats (such as PUNCH or KICK Pow) over other stats will create
a weakness in your Character's abilities making certain fights
more difficult than necessary.
Always remember to change up Opponents often so that the experience
your created character gains after each victory is spread out evenly
over the different sections of their abilities and use the BONUS
experience points you receive in a similar fashion. As the opponents
in SPARRING mode continue to get tougher with each level, having
balanced stats is one of the greatest strategies.
