You can select the character's assist at the select screen. To get a strong, you have to press jab, then jab to get a strong. For a forward, press short, then short. This only works in combos, however.. And you can cross these up as well, like jab to forward, or short to strong. The assist buttons call out your other two characters for an assisted attack. This is the layout: Joystick------ Jab Fierce Assist 1 Short Forward Assist 2 And the key to the moves and combos: Superjump; SJ; SJump - quickly press down, then up U- Up UF- Up-Forward F- Forward DF- Down-Forward D- Down DB- Down-Back B- Back UB- Up-Back D, DF, F - lists like these tell you to roll from down to forward in one motion, then apply the button presses. DASH - F, F or B, B or 2 punches simultaneously. Character moves faster than normal speed. Use it to advance or retreat. BLOCK - Press joystick/pad away from opponent while they attack. Can also be done in midair. ADVANCING GUARD - While blocking, press 2 punches simultaneously, to push back an attacking opponent. ROLL - B, DB, D + Any punch or kick. - When knocked down, use this to prevent follow up attacks. SAFE FALL/BREAK AWAY - Press joystick/pad in any direction except up + Fierce or R.house - You can fall or get away safely from a hold, throw, or being knocked out of the air. VARIABLE COUNTER - D, DB, D + Assist button - While blocking, do this, and one of your partners will come out, counter-attacking, and switch characters. This uses one level of super meter. VARIABLE ATTACK - Press jab and short or fierce and r.house to switch characters. Characters that have damage will recover the red portion of their life while resting. XX- cancel (XX into is cancel into) OTG- on the ground. Means that you can use a combo/move/super while the enemy is on the ground. ASSIST- One of two buttons that will call in your other partners for a special quick attack. SNAPBACK- D, DF, F + Assist button. Tired of your main opponent? Then force him out by doing a snapback. Assist 1 will bring in the 2nd character, while assist 2 will bring in the 3rd. DELAYED HYPER COMBOS- This is also the first game where you can cancel supers into other supers. For instance, you use Venom Web, then cancel before Venom's finished into Tron's Lunch Rush. Both supers will connect, and Venom will switch out to Tron. You can also use 3 supers/characters for this. Experiment with different teams to find a Delayed Hyper Combo that suits your characters. DOUBLE/TRIPLE TEAM- Press both Assist buttons to activate all your characters supers. The super the character uses depends on which assist you picked. This move uses 2 or 3 bars of the super meter, depending on how many characters you still have, or how much super bar has been charged. The rest is pretty self-explanatory, and if you really don't know how to play one of these games by now, then this probably isn't the place to start with.... :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HISTORY: -Who is Tron Bonne? - Tron first appeared in the first 3-D Megaman game called Megaman Legends (or Rockman Dash in Japan). She is the only sister of the Bonne clan of pirates.. Her older brother Teisel and her younger brother Bom (also known as Baby Bonne). She's precocious, tempermental, and a bit vain.. She never goes anywhere without her Kobun helpers present.. She is 15 years old, and will return for Megaman Legends 2. She currently stars in her own game, the Misadventures of Tron Bonne. She also has a secret crush on Megaman, and had somewhat reformed at the end of Legends, but don't expect her to remain on the side of good for long.. ;) This is her first appearance in a VS game, or a fighting game, for that matter. TAUNT: - For the DC version, hold short and press start. Tron's mech stands still as she steps out of the driver's seat. She puts her hand on her cheek, with the other on her hip, and starts laughing at you. The Kobun jumps up and down laughing as well. - For the arcade version, just press the start button.. Duh. :) FUN STUFF: -Tron's Mech is actually a smaller version of the Gustaff, a walking arsenal she created in the Misadventures of Tron Bonne. This one lacks the head, though. Open animation: Tron and the Gustaff roll on-screen, with the Kobun sitting atop one of the hands. She declares "Odakara wa itadaki yo!!"/"The treasure is mine!!", and climbs into the Gustaff's seat. The Kobun hops down, and waits behind her. Win 1: Tron poses with the Gustaff, triumphantly, saying "Katta wa!"/"I won!" The Kobun jumps for joy. Win 2: Tron looks back behind her, as a Kobun chef appears, saying "Gohan desu yo!"/"Meal time!". She and the Gustaff fall to the ground, courtesy of the other 30+ Kobun, scrambling to get a meal. Tron falls on her face, looking peeved. Timeover Loss: Tron's Gustaff explodes, leaving her on the ground, similar to her Win 2 pose. The air around her is filled with smoke, and she has soot all over her. The Kobun stands, disappointed and crying. TRANSLATIONS: Intro: "Odakara wa itadaki yo!"/"The treasure is mine!" Assist: "Onegai.."/"Please.." Lunch Rush: "Damannasai...Gohan desu yo!"/"Shut up!...Meal time!!" Victory: "Katta wa!"/"I won!" TRON'S COLORS: - NOTE: Whichever color you pick for Tron, will be the Kobun's corresponding color! (ie Fierce Tron/Fierce Kobun) (Jab) Yellow-Green/ Red-Orange Mech; Lite Purple/Magenta Tron; Yellow/Blue/Lite Blue Kobun (basic color) (short) Cherry Red/Gray Mech; Lite Purple/Red Tron; Yellow/Black/Gray Kobun (fierce) Blue/Yellow Mech; Lite Purple/Orange Tron; Dull Yellow/Pink/Lite Pink Kobun (r.house) Army Green/Brown Mech; Cream/Brown Tron; Yellow/Turquoise/Lite Turquoise Kobun (assist 1) Black/Yellow-Orange Mech; Gray/Orange Tron; Lite Pink/Red/Lite Red Kobun (assist 2) Pink/Silver Mech; Lite Pink/Pink Tron; Lite Pink/Purple/Lite Purple Kobun (aka the Strawberry Shortcake Tron) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC ATTACK LIST: - Tron's basic attacks involve morphing and transforming her mech into weapons of destruction... stand Jab - Poking Mech arm. Fair priority. crouch Jab - Crouching Mech arm poke. Fair priority. jumping Jab - Downward fist thrust. Good priority. stand Strong - Stonebreaker multi-hit thrusting arm. Hits multiple times (4 hits max). Great priority. Pulls enemy in. crouch Strong - Crouching satellite beam. 3 hits. Good priority. Pushes enemy away. jumping Strong - Backhanded energy ball. Hits high. Good priority. stand Fierce - Double spinning lariat punch. Hits twice, but only in corner. Knocks enemy away. Good priority. Has bad recovery if you use it outside of a corner. crouch Fierce - Crouching Firewall. Insane priority and anti-air. jumping Fierce - Air spinning lariat. Good priority. Good as a combo starter and finisher. stand Short - Double shovel sweep knockdown. 2 hit knockdown, but can be interrupted after first hit. Good priority. crouch Short - Crouching chainsaw blades - backs of arms become stability pillars. Great priority. 3 hits max. Can be interrupted. jumping Short - Jumping double chainsaw blades. Hits diagonally down. 3 hits max, and can be interrupted. Insane priority, great as a jump in. stand Forward - Giant diagonal flamethrower. 3 hits max, and can be interrupted. Good priority. crouch Forward - Double spiked yo-yo launch. Lifts up opponent. Good priority. jumping Forward - Giant shovel push. Good priority. stand R.house - Giant rock scoop and throw. Hits twice, if you activate close to enemy. Hold button down to hold rock, release to throw, or just press r.house once. Priority range differs on where opponent is. crouch R.house - 4-legged spinning knockdown. Can move a bit while activating. Good priority. jumping R.house - Enormous Rock Piledriver. Hits diagonally down. Good for jump ins and combo ending. Great priority. TRON'S ASSISTS: Alpha/Throw Type: Throw. Has short to medium range.. slow recovery time if missed, but is unblockable. Tron jumps out to throw the enemy. She basically appears where you were last standing, and tries to throw you. Good for starting up a small combo. Beta/Anti-Air Type: Flamethrower. Comes out fast, and in a diagonally upward stream for 3 hits. Great anti-air move. Useful for starting a combo as well. Gamma/Projectile Type: Satellite Beam. Slow to come out, creates a small, short pulse at waist below level. Has the ability to stun for about 1 real-time second. TRON'S TEAM SUPERS: -Tron's team supers depend on which assist you picked- A: Lunch Rush - Probably the best one, because of it's massive chip damage.. and that's basically what you want if you've just pressed the Assist buttons together.. B: King Kobun - Still has a slow startup, and isn't too effective unless you comboed in the super before you pressed the Assist buttons.. G: King Kobun - See B. TRON'S MOVES: Kobun Launch: F, D, DF + P (fires a Kobun from out of the mech, parachutes down.) One hit move. Slow to connect. Basically an anti-air move, but only good at a distance. Jab throws it lower and close, while fierce throws it higher and farther. This can also be used in a combo, but beware the recovery. Beacon Bomb: D, DF, F + P (punch pressed determines angle of beam) has short range.. If the sight and beam connects, two Kobun will appear and attach to the enemy, holding them in place for a few seconds, allowing you to do a follow up attack. Jab is a straight beam, Fierce fires it at a 45 degree angle. The Kobun will retreat with red energy crystals which basically do nothing to help Tron. Best used to trap the enemy for a super/combo. Bonne Strike: D, DF, F + K (kick pressed depends on how long it lasts) can be done in mid air.. Tron's Mech sprouts a drill arm, which drills the enemy while moving forward. If it connects, it hits multiple times. Good for comboing into, or for decent block damage. Can be a little cheap, though.. Press the buttons for more hits. Try to end all your combos with this move. OTHER MOVES: Throw: F+P: Tron's mech turns around and throws the enemy in the other direction. Pretty good priority in midair, but the ground one has worse priority. Air Dash: F, F in midair. Good for suprise attacks or evasion strategies. Rock Throw: Standing r.house. Tron's mech produces a boulder, and then throws it. You can hold the button to delay the throw, but it will eventually throw the boulder. Good wake-up hit, if you connect the start-up hit. Moving Knockdown: Crouch r.house. You can move a short distance while doing this move. Use a super or Bonne Strike after this move. Spining Punch: stand fierce. Hits once, then hits again. Most people forget that it hits twice. Use that to your advantage. Launchers: Crouching Fierce, or DF + Fierce. Tron's mech slams a fist down, which creates a pillar of fire, launching the opponent. Great priority. Snapback: Standing Fierce animation. Still has the recovery time of a normal standing fierce. TRON'S SUPERS: Lunch Rush: D, DF, F + 2P Tron fires a beacon into the enemy; her main Kobun whistles, and all 39 Kobun (and 40 makes Tron's Kobun) come marching in over the opponent in a lunch rush.. Has close to medium range. The Beacon Bomb used must be used up close, and with out the enemy blocking. If it misses, then prepare for a world of hurt. Best used in a combo. Notice that Data is among the hungry Kobun. The earlier Data appears, the more damage the super will cause. (pointed out by Kao Megura) If you happen to have only one super built up, you can press Assist 1 and 2 simultaneously to activate the Lunch Rush. You won't need to be in range for it, therefore, you can safely use this as a surprise attack, or from farther away, or for good chip damage. King Kobun: D, DB, B + 2P Tron goes into her assist animation, bringing out a satellite dish that emits a signal. Tron's main Kobun then grows to titantic proportions, and smashes the enemy repeatedly with a giant hammer. You can use the first hit from the Kobun's growth like Roll or Megaman's Hyper supers, knocking the enemy into the rest of the hits... Also best used in a combo. Can be used as an anti-air, but it is a bit tricky..This super works like an auto combo if it connects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY: -Tron is slow but powerful. Most of her moves chain directly into others, so try different combinations. Her reach is pretty good, but you might be beaten by someone faster than you, so be careful. Her priority is great, except when executing a jump in combo, so try to superjump beforehand.. Her Bonne Strike can be done in mid-air, and she has an air dash forward, so utilize that... Use confusion tactics, and try to use everything at your disposal.. Her fierce punch hits twice, and not many know that. Use her knockdown (crouching r.house) to set up massive damage combos and supers.. but don't use the C.rhouse XX into King Kobun too often! Your opponents will expect it and will roll out of the super! The best way to use her is as a strategy character. Follow up anything that stuns your enemy with a sure fire Bonne Strike or a Super that fits in with the combo. Tron's jumping fierce is her best offensive advancing move. You should either land a throw, or start a combo that can be finished on the ground. Pester the hell out of everyone by using Bonne Strikes whenever possible.. works wonders on their concentration!! ;) Tron can also dish out some insane chip damage with her Bonne Strike, as well as the Assist Lunch Rush, so use them in dire situations. Try to use the air version insted of the ground Bonne Strike so you can recover quicker. Tron has a horrible air game, so keep that in mind when facing opponents who excel in the air. Wait for them to come to you. Use assists to cover her slow recovery on some of her moves. Also, when you DHC into another super with her, you must switch supers at certain points. For example: The only way you can DHC her Lunch Rush into your next character's super is to start it almost immediately after the Kobun appear from off screen. Any later, and you won't be able to cancel. Keep in mind that some characters supers are miserable when paired with Tron's.. A high hitting super won't combo well with a low to the ground one like Lunch Rush. Remember this when choosing assists and teammates. Omit some hits in the super-jump combos when facing characters that are smaller than Captain Commando, because the enemy will fall before you can finish the combo. For example, try to just use the weaker hits and XX into a Bonne Strike. Speaking of falling characters, use her jumping r.house as she falls to possibly stun the enemy again, followed by, you guessed it, a Bonne Strike! :D KEEP THEM GUESSING!! Try not to set into a predictable pattern. PARTNERS FOR TRON: -Venom: In addition to his power, and excellent keep-away game, he also has his Venom Fang assist, which is useful for covering up mistakes. His Venom Web is excellent to delay into a Lunch Rush. He's also pretty fast, and a great confuser. A double team with him yields Death Bite, which is useful for adding hits to the Lunch Rush. A great choice. -Sabretooth: Just like Venom, he is quick and powerful. He has great specials and supers, as well as a great Alpha assist (Berserker Claw), and Beta assist (Birdie Call). His two punch supers help in DHCs for the Lunch Rush or King Kobun. Pull a double team with him using his beta and Tron's alpha, and watch the energy meter of your enemy disappear!! Another great choice. -Felicia: Just in case you need a faster character to match all the pixies, I chose Felicia. She's fast, has some decent specials, and some good supers. In fact, her specials can combo into her supers, which can lead into some nasty DHCs. Unfortunately, she lacks in defense, and in her overall pressure game, because she has short reach on some of her moves. The real reason I choose her is to match her Alpha with Tooth's Beta, and Tron's Alpha, for a REALLY INSANE triple team..which will give very high damage to anyone..even the chip damage is fair.. -Jin: Jin covers Tron very well with his assists, as well as his strength and reach. His DHC potential with Tron lacks, but you can make up for it with everything else at his disposal. Another good teammate to have, especially for backup. -I'll add more as I experiment! ^_^ TRON'S COMBOS: NORMAL COMBOS: 1. Jump in R.house, XX into air Bonne Strike 2.

TRON vs. ABYSS: 1st part- Block accordingly, and use the Bonne Strike as much as possible. Also, you can try using jumping short, and jump back and forth over Abyss' head, but be careful about his charges and supers... Use her multi-hit moves behind him when he uses his beam super. 2nd part- Use jumping short a lot, and avoid a lot... Use the short Bonne Strike if you have time.. Try King Kobun for some decent damage. Block often, and don't get caught by the bubbles. Use her jumping fierce, jab, or short to pop the bubbles. 3rd part- Avoid until you get a clear hit, and use the Bonne Strike and King Kobun if you have time.. Jumping fierce works too, but be careful of the lag time.. Jumping short works as well, and if you can follow anything up with a r.house Bonne Strike, which should put you out of his reach.. ---What's next??----- If you think I'm writing a FAQ against all 56 characters, think again.. :) In the next version: More partners for Tron/anything I've forgotten.. ---Fine Print and stuffs---- This FAQ created and copyrighted by Khaotika!
