——— I. First-hand Information ——————————————————————————————————————————————
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- This FAQ was specifically made for the Japanese Sega Saturn game. To my
knowledge, there are no Playstation, Arcade, or PC versions. So there is no
need to worry about different controller configurations.

- The character dialogue, win quotes, and endings are all in Japanese. There
is no way to convert any of that into English. Some of the things have
already been translated throughout this FAQ.

- It may be beneficial to read the "Combo Notation" section (Section VI)
before reading through the combos. There may be symbols and usage that
differs from other people's ways to list combos.

- Throughout the FAQ, notes are posted on various matters like specific moves
and combos from both Synn and myself (along with a couple of extra comments
from friends). They are available to not only give the reader more insight,
but to also provide a little comic relief. Because face it, reading just a
FAQ with just info-info-info are sometimes boring. We try (key word: 'try')
to liven things up.

- Each of the combo names are from the imagination of Synn and myself. If
they're stupid, hey, we tried. =)

- Have you the need to print this FAQ, 'WordPad' would be your best bet for
great output. Each margin should be 1". Mono-space font (i.e- Courier New)
will cause everything to fall into place nicely.

- Any corrections, combos, additional info, and/or questions are welcome.
Just E-mail what your have to one of the addresses that appear at the top
of this FAQ. There is no guarantee ALL will be posted, but whatever does
get added in will receive full credit for the work.

- If you haven't already, BUY THIS GAME!

- Bristol-D's pursuit is stationary.
- Bristol-D's taunt can hit opponent up to 3 times for 1 point of damage
each.
- Bristol-D is the only character in the game that has no Shadow move.
- The Demonic Pulse can effect the opponent in two different ways. If it hits
an opponent on the ground, it will cause them to become stunned for a
second, then collapse to the ground. They cannot be hit during that stun.
If the Demonic Pulse hits the opponent when they are off the ground, they
will land back on their feet and stagger backwards. They are vulnerable
during the stagger.
- The Horrid Swarm will track the opponent to a large degree. The swarm of
flies will move up and down to follow the opponent's position. If the
opponent tries to jump over it, then will backtrack a little. However, if
they are avoided with a teleport move (i.e- Hizumi's Tsuchi Gumo no Jutsu)
or air dash that puts you on the other side of the screen, the swarm will
not go back to strike. The large fly that concludes the super will fly
forward to strike regardless if the swarm of flies traps the opponent or
not.

| Combos |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1) Bristol-'D-Day' combo:

j.HP \/ c.HP XX [qcf + LK], s.LP > s.LP (> s.LP) XX [qcf + LP-HP-GA],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
A replica of Remi's stun combo (Combo #1 in her section). The j.HP can
inflict up to 8 hits if you attack the opponent early enough, resulting
in a large combo (around 16-18 hits). After the [qcf + LK], you may have
to step in before attacking with the s.LPs so they combo.

2) Pest combo:

[d,d + K], various attacks,u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Once the first part of the Horrid Swarm hits the opponent, they're unable
to move. Pity for them. Bristol-D, on the other hand, can go in there and
cause even MORE damage in addition to that large bit of life the fly will
take away upon collision. Remember to NOT use an attack that will knock
the opponent down or the 2nd part of the Horrid Swarm will miss.

3) Wild Cat combo:

Opponent in corner. [f,f + GA], [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + LK], s.LP > s.LP >
s.LP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
As soon as the [f,f + GA] floors the opponent, immediately dash again and
do the [f,f + LP]. It will hit twice off the bounce from the [f,f + GA].

4) Various Demon combos:

Opponent in corner. j.HP \/ s.HP XX [qcf + HP]

Close to opponent in corner. s.GA XX [qcf + LK], Throw

j.HP \/ s.HP XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K

5) GA combos:

Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K
XX [qcb + DA],u+K

flying kick hits.

- DJ's Note:
Yes! This is MY domain.. even though I contributed NOTHING to this FAQ.
If you like the character, check out "Drunken Master 2" starring Jackie
Chan. Hard to find, but definitely worth it!

- The KiD's & Synn's Note:
Yeah.. "his" domain..

1) "I'll kick ya 'til you die from it!" combos:

j.HK \/ s.LP > s.LK > (s.LK >) s.HP XX [qcf + HK]
XX [qcb + K],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

2) Low Kick Genocide combo:

j.LK \/ c.LP > c.LP > (c.LP >) c.LK > s.HP XX [qcf + HK]
XX [qcb + K],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

3) "How'd the hell he combo off a gu.." *BANG!* combo:

j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K]

- The KiD's Note:
This is an "off-guard" combo. What do I mean by that? Only the first (and
weakest) hit of the [d,d + K] will actually register in the combo meter.
The 2nd whiffs, but the 3rd may or may not hit the opponent, depending if
they block or not upon landing. This combo will not work if the opponent
is anywhere near the corner.

4) GA combos:

j.GA \/ [f,f + HP], c.GA XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K [NEW!]

j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + LK]
XX [f,d,df + HK],u+K
XX [qcb + K],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Depending on the size of the opponent (and/or timing), Bristol may
sometimes end up on the other side of the opponent after the [f,f + HP].
Thus, you have to do the motion you want in the opposite direction. The
[qcb + K] combo ender is easier on a large opponent.

j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcb + K],u+K

Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [f,d,df + K],u+K

1) "Coming Out The Closet" combo: [NEW!]

Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ s.LK > s.HK XX [Charge b,f + HP], s.LK XX
[qcb + LK-HK-DA],u+K

- The Kid's Note:
This combo almost looks as it could be converted into an infinite. The
first time I did it, the ending was with a GA.Rosebud instead of his
Combo attack. Since the Rosebud doesn't knock the opponent down, I
thought I'd have enough time to add another attack that can 2-in-1 back
into the Rosebud, thus leading into an infinite. No luck. This combo
works better on large opponents because after the [Charge b,f + HP],
Damian has to kick out for the linker. Against Popura and sometimes ones
like Larry or Hizumi, his foot may not reach.

2) Standard Combo Variations:

j.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.LK > s.HK XX [Charge b,f + P]
XX [Charge b,f + K],u+K
XX [qcb + LK-HK-DA],u+K

3) Damian's "What the hell?!" Lover combo:

Opponent in corner. Triple Take Assault, C.GA XX GA.Elemetal Uppercut,u+K

4) Hop Punch combos:

[f,f + HP] XX [qcb + GA],u+K
XX [qcb + LK-HK-DA],u+K

5) GA combos:

Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX Duel Super

Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcb + P],u+K

Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcb + GA],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Kinda hard to pull the last one off because you have to hit the opponent
with the [f,f + HP] at the peak of the bounce from the j.GA.

Killer Draw Press GA + DA [Unblockable]

Stormy Poker d,d + K

- Falco's pursuit is stationary.
- Falco's taunt can hit opponent for 1 point of damage.
- During the Bluff Shuffle, Falco is able to throw out two cards. After the
first card is thrown, press the button of the second toss you'd like to
perform. No need for another 'qcf' motion. You are able to toss the two
cards at the same angle or two different angles (i.e- up-rebounding and
straight).
- During a normal Face or Back, Falco can toss out a single card. Pressing a
Punch button again after the move is executed tosses a card in any one of
three possible downward angles (listed above). The Shadow Move version of
the Face of Back allows Falco to toss out up to three cards. Those cards
can all travel in the same direction, or one card for each angle.
- The coins that fall from the Reversal Slot all have tracking ability.
- The Lightning Bolt caused from the Reversal Slot will hit the opponent if
Falco is close to them.
- If 3 Skulls are gotten from the Reversal Slot, a weight will fall and cause
both players to fall to the ground. Jumping will not avoid the fall caused
from the weight.
- The Insight Dash is a counter-attack move. If Falco is hit with a physical
or projectile attack during his forward leap, he takes no damage and
counters with a Cane Flick-type attack. He can then get a guaranteed
pursuit afterwards.

1) Falco's "When does the hurting stop?" ???-Hit combos:

[LP + HP] (3 Sevens), [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + LP,LP], (Two more coins fall),
[f,f + HP] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+K
XX [d,d + K]

- Synn's Note:
Timing is crucial for the first Card Toss. It must connect JUST as the
birds and coins stop falling so you have enough time to dash in with the
Cane Jab while the last two coins are hitting your opponent.

- The KiD's Note:
Just drop the controller after the 1st hit.. Oh well, anyway, here's my
own ghetto version of this combo.

[LP + HP] (3 Sevens), s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > s.LK > (2 more
coins fall) [f + HK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP], [f,f + HK],u+k

Not as flashy as Synn's, but it gets the job done. ^_^

2) Standard Combo Variations:

j.HP \/ s.LP > s.LK > [f + HK] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Instead of doing the entire Three Characters combo, you can instead go up
to the 2nd part (where the opponent is electrocuted), then have Falco do
a Leap Kick [f,f + HK] when opponent is in range.

j.HP \/ s.LP > s.LP > s.HP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

For Tenjinbashi:
Stand close. c.LK > c.LP x2 > s.LK > c.LP x3 > s.LK > c.LP x3..

Unable to find an infinite to work on: Bristol, Falco, Hizumi

- The KiD's Note:
Finally.. it's been revised. An infinite combo DOES exist in Groove On
Fight. The somewhat weird part about it is that it varies depending on
the opponent. But unlike the one that was posted before, these all work
in the corner also. The speed that you do the c.LPs is VERY important.
They have to be done in a steady motion. If you rush, for some reason it
won't knock the opponent to the right range where the s.LK will link.
Performing the one on Popura is very difficult because it's hard to get
past 7 hits sometimes. But, as little proof as this may give that it
works, I have gotten up to 15 hits on it before knocking her dizzy. As
you may notice, three characters still do not have combos against them.
Fan of those three have taken a sigh of relief, I'm sure. Anyway, I'm
unsure if any exist, but I've gotten up to 8 on Hizumi with the combo
that is used against Popura. But it stopped there. So, I'm still looking.

2) "Sudden Rush of Youth" combo: [NEW!]

j.LK \/ s.LP > c.LK > s.HK XX [Charge d,u + HP],u+K

- Popura's pursuit is mobile.
- The Bikkuri Bako has three different effects. Doing the move by itself will
produce a box that a small teddy bear will run across the screen and jump
into. Holding LP will create a dog-like animal to appear. If the opponent
crouches, the dog will.. relieve himself on to them for damage. It's
unblockable. Holding GA will have Popura teleport forward to where the box
lands.
- During the Cupid, Popura can move anywhere around the screen freely. If
she is hit during the Cupid, she will change back to normal.
- You can only get an additional bounce from the Pogo Stick if it hits the
opponent.

Opponent in corner. [LP + HP], [LK + HK], [qcf + LP] /\ j.GA \/ c.GA XX
Duel Super,u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Took me a couple of tries to do this combo after I received it, but it
works. This combo's obnoxious. I suppose that's why I like it. A couple
of notes to point out though. First, I wasn't sure if the [LP + HP] was
suppose to hit or not. It may be done just to have the box land behind
the opponent to score the extra hit from the bear. If the [LP + HP] does
hit, the opponent will be able to block the [LK + HK] afterwards. It's
NOT guaranteed. However, if they are hit by the [LK + HK], the opponent
can struggle out the candy wrapping. When doing the [qcf + LP], don't be
too close else the jellyfish will hit before you have a chance to attack
with the j.GA.

Historic Moment d,d + K

- Larry's pursuit is stationary.
- The Headbutt has 3 different ranges; each depending on the length of time
HP is pressed. Tapping HP will make Larry perform the headbutt where he is.
Pressing HP, then releasing quickly will have Larry slide forward a small
distance. Holding HP will make Larry delay the headbutt until he's traveled
a long distance.
- After the second part of the Impact Connection, Larry switches sides, so do
the motion in the opposite direction.
- Yes, the Impact Connection is exactly the same as Akira's 'Stun Palm of
Doom' from Virtua Fighter.

> t.HK XX [f,d,df + GA], [GA + DA] /\ j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [d,d + K]

- No, this combo will not count as one, but it's all guaranteed. Here's why
and how. As soon as you land from the [f,d,df + GA], perform Larry's
unblockable. I've played against some great GoF players and there seems
to be no way to avoid it. Once that unblockable hits, the opponent is
knocked dizzied. So guess what? You get to go unleash hell! Posted after
the [GA + DA] is Larry's most powerful combo. So you are sure to win
after that. However, you can do any combo after the dizzy you want.

2) Finale Rosso combo: [NEW!]

Opponent in corner and a little over 1/2 screen away. [qcf + LP], dash
in, Engo Kougeki /\ j.HK \/ c.GA XX Duel Super

- The KiD's Note:
There are a couple of hard parts; one being positioning. Granted, there's
a slim chance that anyone would pull this combo off in actual combat, but
it's nice show-off material. As you dash in after the [qcf + LP], buffer
in the Engo Kougeki so you can still get in close as your partner jumps
in for the attack. The next hard part is getting the c.GA to combo. It's
not a fast attack, so you have to make sure the j.HK hits deep against
the opponent. That will increase the chance of the c.GA to hit as the
opponent is still in hit animation.

3) "The hits just keep on coming!" combos:

j.HK \/ (c.LP >) s.LP > s.LK > s.HP XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA]

- Synn's Note:
Otherwise known as the "You THINK it's over, but I'm gonna hit you some
more" combos.

- The KiD's Note:
You can add the additional c.LP at the beginning of each combo on big
opponents (i.e- Tenjinbashi, Bristol). If you want flash, use the [f,d,df
+ P] ender. For power, use the [qcb + LP-HP-GA] ender.

4) Blazing Soul combo:

Opponent in corner. j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Ok, the second part of the [d,d + K] (the upward explosion) won't combo
off. But it still does a hell of alot of damage.

5) Fire Streak combo:

Opponent 3/4 screen away. [qcf + LP], [Shadow Move f,d,df + GA],u+K

6) Larry's "Yeah, this MIGHT happen" combo:

Air Geigeki Bougyo, Air Throw

- The KiD's Note:
This is one of those "once in a lifetime" combos. Having the timing and
chance to execute the Geigeki Bougyo on an airborne attacking opponent is
one thing, but if that happens, getting the air throw off is another.

- Synn's Note:
Khris never even pulled this combo off. Truth is the CPU did it to him.

7) Dashing combos:

[f,f + HP] XX [qcf + P]

XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K
XX [qcf + HK]

- The KiD's Note:
Let the first 2 kicks of the [f,f + HK] connect. The 3rd will floor 'em.

8) GA combos:

j.GA \/ [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + P],u+K
XX [f,d,df + LP],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA]
XX [d,d + K],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Larry's kill combo is the one with the [d,d + K] ender (I'm talking
70%!). The [qcb + LP-HP-GA] ender is the hardest one to pull off because
Larry zigzags back and forth for the hits. Also, getting the [qcb + LP-
HP-GA].

j.GA \/ c.GA XX [qcf + P]
XX [f,d,df + GA],u+K
XX [qcf + DA]
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA]

- The KiD's Note
The [qcb + LP-HP-GA] ender does combo off, but getting the first hit of
it to connect requires timing depending on the character.

- M.A.D.'s pursuit is mobile.
- The Max Megahorn inflicts status ailments onto the opponent depending on
which one of the buttons is used to do it. "Don't Attack" and "Don't Jump"
are the only ones that have its effects last for 2 seconds once they hit.
M.A.D. is unable to inflict more than one ailment on a person. If one of
the ailments hits, it will override the previous one if the two were done
in succession.
- The opponent is able to struggle out of the leech bites from the Max
Servant and Maximum Service by wiggling the control pad.
- The Max Ray Gun can be done in two different situations. As M.A.D. is
falling, pressing any two Punch buttons right before he hits the ground
will act as a "quick recover". M.A.D. will pop back onto his feet and
counterattack with whichever Ray Gun usage you do. The second way is when
he is already lying on the ground, pressing any two Punch buttons will
input that the Ray Gun is to be used, followed by whichever direction
chosen. The ripple beam from the ray causes the opponent to be stunned for
a moment, leaving them vulnerable.
- M.A.D. cannot do the Double Drill Punch if he is jumping forward. However,
it can be done if M.A.D. does a forward Helicopter air dash.
- M.A.D. can perform regular attacks and any of his air moves from the
Helicopter.
- During the Max Sparkler, the HP and GA can be doubled up indefinitely by
rapidly pressing the same punch button.

- Synn's Note:
Yeah, it LOOKS pretty nasty and takes off a hell of a lot, but your
opponent can struggle out of the leech bites. So the second dash punch
will only work if your opponent is a idiot. I guess that's why it worked
on Khris. By the way, the [d,d + K] doesn't always combo because the
leeches fly out RANDOMLY. I know, I know.. it's f**kin' retarded.

- The 2nd and 3rd part of the Triangle do not require a charge. Remi can't do
the second part of the Triangle unless the first part hits. During the 2nd

1) "Gotta Have Rhythm!" combo:

Opponent in corner and full screen away. [Charge b,f + LP], Engo Kougeki /\
[f,f + GA] \/ c.GA XX [LP + HP], s.LP > s.HP XX [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
A very flashy combo! ^_^ This is another combo that has a slim change on
getting used in actual combat UNLESS you omit this: [Charge b,f + LP],
Engo Kougeki. The [f,f + GA] is alot easier than a j.GA because it comes
out fast. After the c.GA, begin to charge back. Keep charging back when
doing the [LP + HP], s.LP > s.HP part of the combo. As soon as the second
hit of the s.HP connects, 2-in-1 into the [Charge b,f + LK-HK-DA]. Timing
here is kinda tricky because Remi winds up a little before attacking, so
you have to 2-in-1 immediately. After the opponent lands, walks over for

1) "Angry Bitch" combo: [NEW!]

Opponent in corner. j.LK \/ s.LP > s.LK > s.HP |2 hit| XX [f,d,df + LP],
c.GA XX Duel Super,u+K

- The KiD's Note:
For some reason or another, the c.GA won't register as part of the combo
after the [f,d,df + LP] even though there is no possible way that the
opponent can escape. Still, the entire thing is a 90% damage combo and
30-hits! ^_^

2) Standard Combo Variations:

j.HP \/ s.LP > s.LK > s.HP XX [qcf + GA]
XX [qcb + HK]

XX [d,d + K],u+K

j.LK \/ c.LP > s.LK > s.HP |2 hit| XX [f,d,df + LP] XX [d,d + K]

- The KiD's Note:
The only way to get the [f,d,df + LP] to connect is to have the s.HP hit
ONLY 2 times. If the full 3 hits connect, Solis will be a little far and
the Crystal will whiff.

3) R8000 Dynamite combo:

Charge up the TNT Charge with any 2 K buttons. j.HP \/ s.LP > s.LP > s.HP

1) 'Bashi's 4th of July combo:

[qcf,uf + K], j.GA \/ c.GA XX [d,d + K],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
Flashiness and power all in one combo. The [qcf,uf + K] is used because
after the c.GA, the bomb explodes and makes the opponent juggle in the
air so the [d,d + K] will combo easier.

2) Sakura Season Celebration combo: [NEW!]

Opponent near corner. [qcf + LP] /\ j.GA \/ c.GA XX Duel Super

3) The Storm of Autumn combos: [NEW!]

If you try this combo in the corner, you can add in the second s.LP.

Opponent in corner. [qcb + LK] /\ j.HK \/ s.LP > s.LP, c.GA XX Duel Super

After the second s.LP, the leaf from the [qcb + LK] hits and allows the
c.GA to combo.

4) "Throw ya around like a rag doll" Kick Throw combos:

Kick Throw /\ Air Throw

- The KiD's Note:
You have to time the right distance and height to grab them out of the

Surprisingly.. the leaf does a LOT of damage.

1) Synn's "If these don't knock you dizzy, NOTHING will" combos:

([qcf + HP],) [f,f + HP] \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > (c.LP >) c.LK >
s.HK XX [qcf + LK],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

- Synn's Note:
The [qcf + HP] isn't necessary. It has to hit pretty close so that you
have time to jump in after it.

- Dave's Note:
UGH! Not this combo!

- The KiD's Note:
Synn, if you hit me ONE more time with any of these damn combos..

2) Dashing Shockwave combos:

[f,f + LP] XX [qcf + HP], [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + LK],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

- Synn's Note:
For some reason or another, these combos are REALLY powerful (We're
talking 80%!). I think it's because the [f,f + LP] and [f,f + HP] takes
off a lot of energy.

3) Ren Lee's "Dizzy Chain" combo: [NEW!]

[qcf + HP] /\ CU.j.HP \/ c.LP > c.HP > c.LK > s.HK XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

- The KiD's Note:
I thought for sure all of Hizumi's big combos were found. Well, I was
wrong. Remember Street Fighter 2 Turbo? When Guile and Vega (Balrog in
Japan) were the only ones that had re-dizzy combos? I thought for sure
I'd never see another game that presented that. I was wrong again. This
combo brings back that flare of the re-dizzy. That great feeling of
knocking the opponent senseless twice in succession. The only problem is
linking in that c.LK. At times, you may be pushed too far after the c.HP.
To remedy that so the combo works, make sure the cross-up HP hits "deep"
on the opponent before you land.

4) 5-Hit TNT combo:

[Jump, d + HP] XX [In air, qcf + LP] \/ u+K

- Synn's Note:
The first two parts of this combo are done in the air. You can 2-in-1
most air special moves after regular air attacks.

5) 'Jack' combos.. hurh hurh, get it? Jack someone up? Jacks..? D'oh.:

Opponent in corner. [Backdash, LP + HP](while opponent is getting up),
[f + HP] XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

[Backdash, LP + HP] (while opponent is standing), <See combo #2>

- Synn's Note:
Jack toss [Backdash, LP + HP] must be done early enough to hit opponent
just as he/she is getting up and allow Hizumi enough time to get the
[f + HP]/[f,f + LP] off.

- The KiD's Note:
I've seen Synn do these cheap.. err, "skillful" combos after #1 combos,
so the ending results are pretty devastating.

6) Hizumi's 3-Hit "Heh.. You're dead" combo:

- Synn's Note:
You MUST say that when doing the combo.

- The KiD's Note:
This combo is so BASE!!!

[Backdash, LP + HP], [d,d + K],u+K

7) Dashing combos:

([qcf + HP],) [f,f + LP] XX [qcf + LK],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

8) DA combos:

([qcf + HP],) DA XX [qcf + LP]
XX [qcf + LK],u+K
XX [qcb + LP-HP-GA],u+K

9) GA combos:

([qcf + HP],) j.GA \/ c.GA,u+K

([qcf + HP],) d.GA XX [qcf + LK],u+K

([qcf + HP],) j.GA, [f,f + HP] XX [qcf + DA],u+K
XX [d,d + K],u+K

- Synn's Note:
Yes, you read that right. The [d,d + K] hits them out of the air. Oh
yeah.. don't forget to say "Heh.. you're dead."

‡‡ < combo reading > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡

The listing of all combos in this FAQ are written in a way to hopefully make
it easier to read. Rather than listing each combo in a huge sequence, the
'base' of each combo is shown with a listing of all possible enders to it.
Unless listed alternatively, all combos normally follow the same structure as
the one below:

Jumping Attack \/ Attack > Attack > Attack > XX Combo Ender #1
XX Combo Ender #2
XX Combo Ender #3

Each possible ender to a specific combo is aligned in a column at the end of
the string. Thus, the combo can be concluded with any ender; all doing their
own significant damage. Keep in mind that some enders have different effects
than others, but any specific notes are listed in each character's sections.

‡‡ < duel supers > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡

Requirements: Both teammates active
At lease one (1) stock of Super meter

The system of Duel Supers are not the same as the ones in the "Vs" games.

Duel Supers have two methods in which they must be performed (depending on
the number of players):
• In 1- or 2-player games (one human player on a team)
First initiate the tag. Before the characters slap hands, immediately hit
d,d + Punch. If done correctly, your fighter will dash forward, grab the
opponent, and throw them up into the air. Your partner will jump up after
them only to send the opponent back down to the fighter, who will
automatically begin the combo.
• In 3- or 4-player games (two human players on a team)
The person who controls the character that is currently in play has to
initiate the tag. The sidelined character will then jump out into play.
This is when the person who controls THAT character has to press d,d +
Punch before the tag is made.

The player that called for the tag is the one that does the whole attack. All
Duel Supers equal up to be exactly 22 hits.

‡‡ < engo kougeki > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < f + R shoulder > ‡‡

The Engo Kougeki will cause your teammate to leap out into the fighting field
to hit the opponent, then leap back into the sidelines.
• In 1- or 2-player games (one human player on a team)
The player controls his/her teammate to jump in from the sidelines and
smack your opponent.
• In 3- or 4-player games (two human players on a team)
Your human teammate in the sidelines is the one that controls the assist.
They only have to press the R shoulder button to activate it.

Even though your teammate jumps into play for a second, they can be damaged.
If they are hit with an attack, they will get knocked back in the sidelines,
sustaining the damage.
Engo Kougeki attacks can be blocked.

‡‡ < geigeki bougyo > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < press B + Y > ‡‡

Once B + Y are pressed, your character takes up different blocking animation.
If they are hit in that blocking stance, a *clash* sound is heard, and the
attacker is sent staggering back. They are then vulnerable to an attack.
If the Geigeki Bougyo is done and no attack strikes it, you will be left
vulnerable coming out the stance.
A Geigeki Bougyo can be used to stop projectiles without taking any damage.

‡‡ < mikata nage > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < d + HP / GA > ‡‡

Once a character is defeated, their body remains on the fighting field. By
moving over to stand over that fallen player, do d + HP / GA and you will
pick up the body and toss it forward.
Mikata Nage attacks can be blocked.

‡‡ < pursuit attack > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡

As in many 3D games, once you knock the opponent to the ground, you are able
to get in another hit before they stand again. Some characters have pursuits
that are "mobile," where they leap across the screen to hit downed opponents.
However, others have "stationary" pursuits, where they only hit a downed
opponent if they are right next to them. The character's pursuit ability is
posted in each of their specific sections.

‡‡ < recharging the super meter > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < when solo, hold R shoulder > ‡‡

When one member of your team is defeated, the tag button becomes a recharge
button. Holding it down will charge up your Super Meter (similar to holding
the attack buttons in "Samurai Spirits" games). You character is vulnerable
as they are charging.

‡‡ < shadow move/dash hissatsu waza > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡

Each character (with the exception of Bristol-D) has one specific move that
doubles as a Shadow Move, or "Dash Hissatsu Waza" (Dash Special Kill Art). A
Shadow Move is a powered-up version of the original move that is performed
from a forward dash. For example, Larry's Shadow Move is his Driving Dribble.
As Larry is dashing forward, input the Driving Dribble command (f,d,df + P).
Afterimages follow the character, resulting in an attack that produces more
hits and/or damage. If the Shadow Move is a move with a charge motion, the
charging is omitted.

‡‡ < super strike > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < press C + Z > ‡‡

Each character has one unblockable move that can be performed anytime. There
are no specific requirements to use a Super Strike. Once activated, your
character sparkles for a second, then attacks.

‡‡ < touch > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ < press A + X / R shoulder > ‡‡

Touch is the term concerning tagging back and forth between your teammates.
Once A + X / R shoulder is pressed, your in play fighting character waves,
and the character in the background will leap out to slap hands with them.
The tag is not official until the *slap!* sound is heard. Thus, the opponent
can interrupt the tag to knock that character back into the sidelines.
• In 3- or 4-player games (two human players on a team)
A Touch can only be done if the teammate is in the proximity of the in-
play character. If the character in the sidelines is not onscreen when the
in play character calls for a "Touch", they will wave their hand and be
vulnerable since there is no one there to tag with.

A character in the background will slowly regain energy. It's able to restore
completely (unlike in the "Vs" series or "Tekken Tag Tournament").

*Note: If a character does a non-physical attack (i.e- projectile attack)
that travels, then that character does a Touch, that attack will disappear
the moment you press the tag button.

‡‡ < yuujyou power > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡

As soon as a teammate on a side is defeated, the other member immediately
jumps into play. As a result, that side's Stress Shoot Super meter rises up
to give them a free Level up.

*I personally have no idea if Remi's attacks translate into anything. I've
been told they are really in Spanish. But the Japanese katakana made it
hard to get the Spanish words out of it to translate. So, if anyone has any
idea on what they are are how to translate them, please drop me a line.

Ossu, minna! Welcome to the millennium! And we all survived! Well, not like
anything happened.. Anyhoo, Synn's and my GoF FAQ is still going strong! Over
two years old, and it plans to get bigger at the days pass! =) There's still
alot of work to be done before this giant FAQ is completely done, but it'll
be well worth it!
Here's a list of things that will show up in future installments:
- game storyline
- Remi's special move names
- character win quotes translations
- character ending translations
- character stories/profiles
- strategies

In addition to what is listed above, any other info (combos, questions,
cheats, etc.) that is put in the FAQ, the person will receive credit.

Ja, minna-san!
