1) The Game in itself
 
   The game in itself as a whole is really pretty good, and very under-
advertised for it's entire package.  I recommend this game highly, to any 
fighter who ever wanted to change the characters of the game in a slight 
detail, and to those who want to be perfectionists {or cheap fighters} against
someone else.

2) The Originality

   Where else can you find a game with 2 different {and I mean different} 
modes of play?  A childish, item-based fighting {the RPG style part} and a 
touchy, adult {not adult rated, just adult characters} technical fighting 
mode?  With 2 hidden characters in each mode, and PLENTY of possibilities of 
this game, no wonder it's original. Or else I wouldn't be stressing the issue 
now would I?  One more thing...this is a game where you spend hours {with a 
memory card} building up your character, just so you can play your {built up} 
character, against his newbie character....that one will leave a mark :-)

3) The Character

   This Guide is for the Child, item-based mode...where Shouryu looks like a 
native American in a bright yellow suit.  Ok, ok so he looks bad, but still... 
a master at this character can be hard to beat {if you throw a few of those 
cheap skills that everyone loves to do, but everyone else hates to be done to} 
 he's got throws, he's got power attacks, and a good first 2 special attacks. 
Not to mention he has decent item capabilities. He's a good character for 
those who aren't into the super-power, or super-quick fighting. He is a 
character designed for people who sneak in a few hits at a time, and for those 
people who just love to keep their opponent on the ground.

4) Basics

   Ok, the basics...can't have a good character without basics... {ok you can, 
but shhhh..no one knows that}

   The most useful basic moves, and why, and how... {in no particular order}
{using default controller settings}

  A) Toward+ B    Rising Knee.  Great if your in close and you want to grab a 
few
extra hits once he/she is airborne.  If someone's running towards you, hit `em 
with this before they can block.


  B) Run, Then Down + C-Down     Lunging Sweep.  If your running, often 
opponent will be guarding up {or not at all} you can run, sweep him/her off 
his/her feet then hit `em when they are down {little cheap thing}

  C) Punch (x4) Then C-Down    4-hit punch combo then back breaker... useful 
because even if they block the punches...they can't block the slam! :-)

5) For those People Who love to be cheap!

  A) See the basics section...pretty much the whole thing.

  B) Back Then Forward + C-down {and if they blocked} Forward Then Back + C-
Down    Lunging attack, then Face-First Slam.   The Slam only Works when your 
close... and if they blocked the lunging attack, you'll be close enough! So 
slam `em face first before they counter attack. {may take practice}

  C) Hit `em when their down! When opponent is lying on the ground, just hit 
toward + C-Down... Extra damage.

  D) {When opponent is running} Forward + C-Down.   Lunging Drop Kick.  
Opponent won't have time to stop running and block. Then hit `em when their 
down.

  E) C-Left {After opponent blocked part of a combo} You'll do your regular 
spinning attack, they'll probably block it...but it hurts `em anyway :-)

  F) Up + C-Left {when opponent is standing} They won't have a chance to dodge 
before doing multiple kick attack.

  G) {If you hit their minds' eye spot} Up + C-left {quickly!} should hit it 
before they recover

  H) when opponent is doing a combo Back + C-Down   Backflip, Should smash `em 
in the head and knock `em to the ground.

  I) When opponent jumps at you... {good timing here} Up + C-Down    Up-
Backflip Should kick the opponent right out of the sky.

So a combination between all of `em should make you a cheap fighter that no 
one will like because they can't hurt you very often.

Legal Stuff- If you want to use this, PLEASE, and I mean please, inform me and 
give me some credit for writing this. Otherwise I don't mind, after all, I'm 
not the one who made it up, I just use the game and write what I think.
