A quick word about Gado: He has been, and probably always will be,
one of the main characters in a Bloody Roar game. Father of Shina,
he is now an important political figure. Ok, enough of this. On with
the FAQ!!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

First off, let me say this: Gado is not a combo machine! Don't try to
play him like one! Ok, I feel better now.
Use Gado Offensively. His moves HURT A LOT, and can be tricky to predict
at times. Against faster characters, you might want to play defensively
though, waiting for an opening to drop some well deserved pain on them.
He has a lot of powerhouse moves, use them to stop dash-ins (my personal
fav is u+p). All in all, he isn't too complicated of a character to
play. Good for beginners, or experts who tire of their opposition (I've
done a 3 second match with him in hyper beast. Lotsa fun watching your
opponent turn white).
----------------------------------------------------------------
The End.
If you have any questions, comments, or info you would like me to add,
email me at corymn@wipcradio.cc. I would love to see some neat combos,
so send away!!! You will, of course, be credited for your contributions.
I will hopefully be updating this as I find more goodies, but until
then......

Thanks to Activision and Hudson for creating another good game.
