BACKGROUND:
Kamen Rider Faiz 555 (or Phi's) is another Rider-with-Metal Armor like G3
(from Kamen Rider Agito), developed and produced by the SmartBrain Corp,
made of the SolMetal, powered by the SolBlood, equipped with the Faiz
Driver (SB-555B) Belt as the morphing device, the Mission Memory cardkey to
activate the superpower, the Faiz Phone (SB-555P) to initiate the morphing
sequence, also to shoot enemy in the Phone Blaster mode, and the Faiz
Pointer (SB-555L) as the Kick Weapon, riding the Auto Vajin (SB-555V).
Orphenocks are people who have died and have been forgotten by society.
They have banded together (under guidance of a SmartBrain lady) to fight
against Faiz and take revenge on those who have forgotten them or done
wrong in their past lives.

UF: up+forward
DF: down+forward
DB: down+back
UB: up+back
Qct: quarter circle toward motion

Hcb: half circle back motion
Hct: half circle toward motion

THE BASICS:
square: judo throw (front/back)
triangle: special/ hissatsu/ desperation (rapidly tap random designated
button to win)
x: attack 1
o: attack 2
blocking: hold B or DB when under attack
recovery roll: B of F when grounded
recovery attack: x (low knockdown) or o (sideroll,mid crumble)
uf+x:jumping kick
uf+o:jumping punch
fff+x: flying kick
fff+o: running slide (used if a float isn't high enough or quick hit on
grounded opponent)
crumble: or kuzure down, when the opponent collapses after a counter hit
ex. grounded opponent rolls towards, you hit them with a mid level move
like f+x. This is featured heavily in Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution :P
okizeme: attacking a grounded opponent and prevent them from getting up ex.
throw,d+x,d+x. Okizeme is heavily used in this game and is an integral
feature in Namco's 3D fighters
urawamari: tricking the opponent in standing up with their back turned ex.
throw, opponent rolls away, d+x,d+x.d+x hits making them stand up back
turned open for a float, throw, chain.
Another way for ura is fff+x/uf when the opponent is grounded but it's more
difficult.
counter: hitting the opponent during their initial attack frames resulting
in more damage and crumbles
floater: an attack that pops the opponent in the air, open for combo's.
frame advantage: a move that recovers faster than your opponent can attack
ex. uf+x/uf+o
crossup: jumping over an opponent and timing your attack so it hits behind
their block
desperation: when your health drops below 50% press triangle (no energy
required,use only once).
Each character only has one.
poke: an attack that hits from a safe distance, usually with fast recovery
interrupt: an attack that stops rushes, usually a low o.
energy loss: when the opponent hits when you press triangle ex. throw (not
at MAX level)
prevent special: keep the opponent grounded (okizeme)
special combo: you can use MAX after a Desperation!
challenge mode stages:5-6
crumble throw: dash forward during crumble and throw
note- weapon moves: some attacks are replaced with others after a weapon is
equipped
disorienting camera: when a special is triggered it interrupts any standing
attack or delays it resulting in awkward positioning
note- desperation: some desperations are harder to stop than specials
note- tapping: pressing 4 buttons can give you a headstart
note- crumble combo's: only fast moves will hit after a crumble resulting
in knockdowns (no float possible)
note- backturned: can be floated, but not crumbled
Getup with standing in place (u/d),rolling forward/backwards (f,b) or low
kick (x), sideroll and mid crumble kick (o)

COMBOSYSTEM:
Uses square (throw), x (a1),o (a2) and to some extent triangle (special)
There are chains that are guaranteed after the first hit, floaters,
crumbles, setups and crossups that can lead into throws (oki/ura),chains
and juggles
Some setups consist of cancelling a chain/ poke into a throw
Attacks can be chained from a jump-in combo
It's possible to cancel chains into a special/desperation

Everyone uses the same system but adds to it by personal commandmoves, and
combo charts, so experiment!
Some combo's listed in this FAQ can be escaped/tech'ed (lying down)if
you're quick enough.

"Can you feel the widening spaces?
Let's talk about the story about a small star
tell me the true, the future that I believe
I know it's about to fall apart
The pain, just turn it back
where am I going to go
now within one's heart
open your eyes, time to go!
for the sake of being strong
either to protect or to fight
the dillema will never end, even if you run
The end justifies the means."
