FAQ guide by: Fire_Pro_Fan
_________________________________________________________
Serving as the third installment to Human's popular
wrestling franchise, Fire ProWrestling 3: Legend Bout
was nothing short of a revolutionary landmark in video
gaming.
Improved graphics, a whopping 32 wrestlers to choose
from, fine tuned controls, tons of new moves and, the
debut of Fire Pro's landmark feature ...the Create-A-
Wrestler mode.
For the first time ever, Wrestling fans were finally
able to create their own custom wrestlers from scratch
using pieces from over 30 different wrestler templates.
On top of the created wrestler's appearance, gamers
also had the option to customize their created wrestler's
moves, specials, submission holds and even the way the
created wrestler reacted when controlled by the computer.
With three installments under their belts (plus the handful
of variations ported to other consoles) Human's Fire Pro
Wrestling series continued to gain momentum with no end
in sight.
This FAQ covers:
*All 32 wrestlers.
*Every special and secret move uncovered.
*A complete walkthrough of every mode.
*Secrets, tips & tricks.
*Gameplay mechanics

========================================================
******THE GAMEPLAY******
========================================================
**Gameplay terms**
Strike attack:
Punches, kicks, dropkicks and other fighting techniques
inputted without locking up. Certain wrestlers can also
apply strike attacks to a downed opponent.
Stomp attack:
A special type of grapple where a wrestler continuously
pummels the opponent.
Stomp attacks, while not having the ability to
force an opponent to submit, can be used to inflict
damage as well as monitor the health of the opponent
on the receiving end of the stomp attack.
It is also interesting to note that stomp attacks
can also be performed on downed opponents laying
on the mat.
Running attack:
A strike attack inputted while running towards an
opponent. Certain wrestlers use running attacks
as their finishing moves.
Top rope attack:
High flying attacks that can only be performed after
climbing one of the 4 top ropes within the ring.
Lockup:
When both Wrestlers lock arms and attempt to
grapple one another.
Front grapple:
A grapple maneuver that can only be applied from
the front of either wrestler after a lockup has
been initiated.
Back grapple:
A grapple maneuver that can only be applied from
the back of either wrestler after a lockup has
been initiated.
Submission hold:
Grapple techniques that requires button mashing to
escape.The amount of damage inflicted in a Submission
hold depends on how quickly either Wrestler escapes
from the submission.
Illegal moves:
In standard match settings, illegal moves are banned
moves such as head biting, fork stabbing and choking
an opponent.
In standard match settings, illegal moves are not
permitted and, if caught by the referee, have
the potential to result in a disqualification.
Grogginess:
When a wrestler receives enough damage from grapples,
submissions, strike attacks, etc, the wrestler (when
picked up from a downed state) will start to show signs
of grogginess.
Reversal:
When a medium or strong grapple is applied to a wrestler
with a substantial amount of health remaining, the
wrestler on the receiving end of the strong or medium
grapple will reverse the maneuver resulting in a reversal.
There are many types of reversals which vary from Wrestler
to Wrestler and style to style.
Blood:
Certain attacks, grapples and submission holds in
Super Fire Pro Wrestling III: Easy Type can cause
blood to appear on the inflicted wrestler.
Other than a visual side effect of certain moves,
blood has no effect on the match.
Special move:
A wrestler's signature strike attack, grapple,
top rope attack or submission hold performed
using standard inputs.
For the most part, a Wrestler's special can
be deemed as their finisher (though, this detail
varies from wrestler to wrestler).
Secret moves:
A wrestler's hidden grapple techniques that require
special input combinations to perform.
Each wrestler has two secret moves (one front grapple
and one back grapple) and the input for each secret
move varies from wrestler to wrestler.
It is also interesting to note that the button
inputs for each secret move remains the same
no matter which way the wrestler performing the
secret move is facing.
Much like the special moves, many of the secret
moves are, in fact, a wrestler's finisher.
________________________________________________
**Locking up**
When two or more wrestlers come into close
range, by default, the wrestlers will lock their
arms together into a "lockup" position.
When a lockup occurs, both wrestlers will have
a small window of time to to perform a grapple on
one another.
At what time can I perform a grapple during a
lockup?
Simple. When both wrestlers bend their knees.
The first wrestler to input their grapple after
both wrestlers knees have bent in a lockup will
win the lockup and get to perform their grapple.
If a player button mashes during a lockup, their
grapple (especially on higher difficulty settings
while facing a computer opponent) will be cancelled.
As mentioned above, SFPW2's engine
has a stronger emphasis on timing over button
mashing.
Furthermore, button inputs should only be inputted
once during a lockup and at the right time.
========================================================
******MATCH RULES******
========================================================
GIVE UP:
when a wrestler is unable to manually break
free from an opponent's submission hold before their
stamina runs out, the affected wrestler will tapout
resulting in a loss.
PINFALL:
When a wrestler is pinned on the mat for the duration
of a 3 second count by the referee, the match will end
under a PINFALL resulting in the pinned wrestler losing
the match.
In special settings, the pin count can also be reduced
to just 2 counts or turned off altogether.
A PINFALL can only be attempted inside of the ring. A
pin attempt from outside the ring will not be recognized
by the referee.
COUNTOUT:
when either wrestler remains outside of the ring as the
referee counts to 20. This is called a COUNTOUT and results
in a loss foreither wrestler. If both wrestlers remain
outside the ring after the referee has counted to 20,the
match will end in a DRAW indicating both wrestlers have lost.
DISQUALIFICATION:
When either wrestler is disqualified from the match by
the referee. A wrestler can be disqualified for the following
reasons:
*remaining on a top rope for a 5 count by the referee.
*Allowing the referee to reach a 5 count while applying an
illegal move.
DRAW GAME:
When neither wrestler or Tag Team wins the match
due to:
*both wrestlers/teams receiving a 20 second COUNTOUT
from outside the ring.
*The duration of the match has ended before a PINFALL,
GIVE UP, or DISQUALIFICATION resulting in a TIME OUT.
TIME OUT:
when the time limit of the match has ended.
When a TIME OUT is reached, the match will end
under a DRAW GAME.
BREAK:
When a submission hold, pinfall or illegal tactic
is applied next close to the ring ropes under standard
match settings, the referee will call a "BREAK"
signalling the submission hold or pinfall to be broken
up.
Unlike recent Fire Pro games, there is no way to ignore
the referee's call for a BREAK.

"Mad Tiger" (Tiger Jeet Singh) or "Hogara Tashin" (Akira Taue) and

================
Change the BGM :
================
In Legend Road mode press the SELECT Button during the match
to change the background music of the stage.
Unfortunately, the background music can only be alternated
between the themes of the two main wrestlers in the match.
=========================================
Fight against the hidden boss characters:
=========================================
In World Championship mode singles division,
successfully defeat the twenty-eighth opponent.
The four hidden boss characters THE ELIMINATOR (The Destroyer)
,RIKIOUZAN (Rikidozan), R.J. PHASE (Lou Thesz) and CARLOS
KRAUSER (Karl Gotch) will then be presented as the four
final opponents.
In World Championship tag team divison, successfully
defeat the 14th tag team.
The four hidden boss characters will then appear as
the following two tag teams:
THE ELIMINATOR (The Destroyer)
& RIKIOUZAN (Rikidozan)
R.J. PHASE (Lou Thesz)
& CARLOS KRAUSER (Karl Gotch)
====================
The collision glitch
====================
When facing a computer opponent in a tag team
or handicap match, continue damaging your opponent's
health until they start to move towards the corner of
the ring to tag their partner in.
The next step is to follow your opponent towards the
corner of the ring and simply run towards them BEFORE
they get a chance to make the tag to their partner.
If done correctly, both wrestlers (your wrestler and
the computer's wrestler) will collide with one another;
sending both wrestlers falling to the mat.
By continuously repeating the above process, your
opponent will continue to take damage until they have
no health remaining (and they won't defend themselves
in the process). But, be careful. By colliding with your
opponent, your wrestler will also take damage as well.
=========================
The running attack glitch
=========================
An easy way to avoid locking up with tough
computer opponents is to constantly perform
running attacks against them.
Simply start running in any direction and
the computer opponent will stand in place
for the duration of the running attack.
Even if your running attack doesn't
connect (yet still causes a collision) the
computer opponent will still take damage.
The downside to this however, you will take
damage as well.So, use this trick with caution.
