While I'm aware there was a Rival Schools 2 released on the psx I don't believe it made it to the west and I think that Project Justice is a direct continuation of that first game. It's a fantastic and fun game and comes highly recommended. This is the first version of my FAQ written using the UK PAL version. I am assuming it will have no differences to the US version. I have played Arcade Story mode thoroughly and believe I have a full guide to all the secret characters and alternative scenarios. I have tried to keep story spoilers to a minimum. Each movelist includes the characters special moves, Burning Vigour's, Team Up and Party Up Attacks. Also I have written a small comment on each character's worthiness. Also in this FAQ I have chosen to include the "normal" student secret characters that are unlocked as you progress though the game. Unlike the more colourful characters of the main Story mode these have not really had much attention paid to them, but I have found that they are actually rather effective fighters and well worth getting to grips with if you intend to master this game. *************************************************************************** CONTRIBUTORS - Big thank you to everyone who has sent me info! Ryo Yamazuki - pointed out a few big howlers I made in the first version and added some move info for Kurow. Tig (deathangel182@hotmail.com) - contributed secret student team-up info. Badidi71 - contributed secret student team-up info. Dark Kyosuke - contributed secret student team-up info and move information for Kurow. Is also a fellow member of the Akira appreciation society! Mr Swipes - contributed move info for Ran, Edge, Momo, Diago, Hideo, Chairperson, Kurow, Roberto and Vatsu Jason (drodzj@pdq.com) - contributed absolutely LOADS of info, basically move info for every character, pointed out typos, incorrect move assignations and other mistakes in the first version. Also very helpfully listed all the throw names when I was only about half way through doing the throws. Big thanks mate!! ************************************************************************* REVISIONS - Version 1. Started 11/05/01. First version. Contains unlocking info and movelists. 20/05/2001- Version 1.5: Fixed a load of spelling errors and typo's. Also changed Taiyen High to Taiyo High and changed move list command from df, d, f to f, d, df. 10/07/01 - Version 2: Well thanks to the combined efforts of my contributors and my own research there's loads of new stuff in this versions. I also want to say that I went on holiday just after I had the FAQ posted and picked up a lot of mail via "AOL Anywhere". This is not a very good system and I lost a few emails with info and also questions, so BIG apologies if you submitted stuff or asked a question and did not get a response, I did lose quite a few emails :( Anyway, you'll find lots of new move info for all characters, I have corrected the instances where I had incorrectly assigned moves to the air and vice versa. I've added throw info and air throw info (mostly thanks to Jason, cheers again). The most popular submission was a lot of you noticed the secret student team ups I couldn't place were from Rival Schools on the psx. Thanks folks! 13/07/01 - Version 2.1: oops missed out all the air throws - that data has now been added. ========================================================================== ******************** 2) UNLOCKING ALL SECRET CHARACTERS ****************** ========================================================================== WARNING SPOILERS!!!!! Project Justice like every other beat 'em up has plenty of secret characters to unlock. Unlike other beat 'em ups the Arcade mode requires you beat the Story mode with each school, rather than individual Characters. There are two kinds of secret characters to unlock. Firstly there are scenario specific characters. These are characters like Burning Batsu and Wild Daigo that only become available if Story mode is completed with certain schools and under certain conditions. Then there are the secret students; these are normal students who become selectable in Training and Versus modes (that includes the Team Battle/Tournament modes). They occupy the same square on the character selection screen, but scrolling from side to side will allow different ones to be picked. Each time you complete Arcade Story mode and acquire one of the main secret characters or complete an alternative scenario, a new secret student will be added. Secret Students can also be acquired simply by viewing the completed storylines in the Extras section. Once you have finished viewing check in the secret students square in Training Mode and another should have been added!! SECRET STUDENTS EXTRA!!!! If you are playing the Japanese version it appears that these characters are not available. Instead there is a "create a character" mode which is not included in the UK/US version. BASICALLY IF YOU HAVE THE JAPANESE VERSION YOU CANNOT USE THE SECRET STUDENTS. These are the conditions for unlocking the main secret characters. ROY BROMWELL and TIFFANY ROSE - finish Story mode with Pacific High School. VATSU - Finish Story Mode with Gorin High School. BURNING BATSU - Start the Taiyo High Story and in the fight against Akira, Yurika and Zaki make sure Batsu loses one round against them. He will run off. When you go up against Vatsu he will return as Burning Batsu. Complete the Story and he is now selectable in training and versus modes. WILD DAIGO - Start Gedo High Schools Scenario. When you go up against Wild Diago you MUST defeat him with a Party Up technique. He will recover and rejoin your team to fight Demon Hyo, when you have finished he is now selectable. If you don't use a Party Up technique you will not reach Demon Hyo and only get the Sad Ending. POWERED AKIRA - Play Seijyun High School scenario. When you reach Wild Diago DON'T use any Team Up or Party Up techniques to defeat him. Now when you reach Demon Hyo, Edge and Gan will turn up and give Akira her Biker Helmet. When you finish P-Akira is now selectable. HYO IMAWANO - Finish story mode with all default schools (you only have to have completed one scenario for each school for him to become available). KUROW - First unlock the Darkside student Council by finishing Story mode with all the default schools. You don't have to get the good ending for Gedo High to unlock this. Now beat Story mode with the Darkside Council. DEMON HYO - Beat Story mode and acquire ALL the possible paths to the endings. Scenario list: (none means no story branches, it's a linear story) Taiyo H.S - 1) Have Batsu lose one round to Akira et al. 2) Make sure Batsu does not lose a round against Akira et al. Gorin H.S - 1) Choose Momo and Shoma 2) Choose Roberto and Natsu Pacific H.S - None Gedo H.S - 1) Defeat Wild Daigo with a Party-up technique 2) Defeat Wild Daigo without Party-up technique Justice H.S - none Seijyun H.S 1) Beat Wild Daigo with a Party-up technique 2) Defeat Wild Daigo without a Party-up Technique Darkside Student Council - None SECRET STUDENTS - Should be unlocked in the following order: Alec, Barbara, Mark, Tony, Nancy, Eliza, Peter, Thelma, David, Claudia, Frank, Anna, Grace, Hillary, George and John. There may be ways to unlock more - I will confirm or correct this assumption in the next revision ========================================================================== ********************* 3) DEFAULT CHARACTERS MOVELISTS ******************** ========================================================================== When discussing moves in detail I will use abbreviations like qcb and qcf. These stand for d-pad or analogue stick moved a "quarter circle forward" or "quarter circle back", - ie. From down, down-forward, forward (qcf) or down, down-back, back (qcb). Hcf and hcb mean "half circle forward" and "half circle back". "Air also" means the move can be performed in the air. "Air only" means it can only be performed in the air. When one of these instructions is followed by punch or kick, either type can be used. OH - is an abbreviation of overhead attack, this attack creates little stars and will break a crouching characters block. ACF = Air Combo Finisher. These moves knock the opponent right away from you character. AIR THROW: If both characters are in the air but level with each other you can press the throw button/s and perform an air throw in the same way you would throw an opponent on the ground. This is in addition to any extra air throws a character may have. AIR LAUNCHER is a move that fires the opponent high into the air. If you jump after them immediately afterwards you can perform air combos on them as you fall back to earth. MINI AIR LAUNCHER is a move that knocks your opponent a short way into the air and can be used to start Juggle Combos. SWEEP is a basic low attack that knocks an opponent to the floor. Both of these types of attack use either down or down-forward and Hard Punch or Hard Kick. See individual characters movelists for more details. Here is a lovely rendition of the analogue pad (same for d-pad). O O O \ | / --O means "forward" O-- --O \ O means "down-fowards" / | \ O O O O-- means "back" (etc.) TEAM UP TECHNIQUES. These are unique to each character and will be performed when you call that character out for a team up attack. Some character's attacks are defensive and refill life or the team-up meter. Others are offensive, the number in brackets included after the name of the attack in the character info is the damage rating of that attack. This info was taken from practice mode, but is not a percentage of damage done to the life bar(at least on default damage mode.) It's still is useful when comparing which characters have the most damaging Team Up attacks. PARTY UP TECHNIQUES Pupils and teachers of a particular school will all use the same Party Up techniques when they are the MAIN fighter. For example Edge, Gan and Daigo all have the same Party Up technique because they all attend Gedo High School. The Party Up technique is always dependent on the active character. Listed below is a description of each Party Up technique. TAIYO HIGH SCHOOL - (1) All three attack the opponent with a series of fast punches culminating in a triple blow to the opponent's guts. TAIYO HIGH SCHOOL - (2) The opponent is hoisted onto a platform carried by all three and flung across the arena. (Only Chairperson and Hayato use this variation) GORIN HIGH SCHOOL - The three team mates leap into the air and form a circle. They then roll over the opponent delivering multiple impact damage. PACIFIC HIGH SCHOOL - The main fighters two team-mates hang onto his/her arms and are spun around in a "Cross" shape, while rising high into the air. As they spin they whack the opponent many times. GEDO HIGH SCHOOL - the opponent is spun round and fired high up into the air to a waiting team mate, who, holding the final team mate spins him/her around and fires them towards the flying opponent crashing into them half way between sky and ground. Ouch JUSTICE HIGH SCHOOL - Active fighter paralyses opponent, then one partner punches the him/her up towards the other waiting partner high in the air who slams him back down to the main fighter. SEIJYUN HIGH SCHOOL - The two team mates rush on and grab the opponents arms and legs. They jump high into the air then bring the unfortunate fighter down hard on the waiting players fist. DARKSIDE STUDENT COUNCIL - Only Kurow uses this Attack, he impales his team-mates on his claws and uses them to batter the opponent high into the air. So anyway that's the jargon dealt with, here are the fighters! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****************************** a) AKIRA ********************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Seijyun High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER db + HP THROWS Front: Akido Flip (26) Back: Leg Launcher (30) Crouch: Back Roll Throw (32) Air: Rolling Slam (34) BASIC MOVES Four punch combo b + LP, LP, LP, LP Cartwheel Kick (OH) f + HK Cartwheel Kick and Spin f + HK, HK Triple Kick hold d + LK, LK, HK Cartwheel Kick and Sweep f + HK, d+ HK Sweep d + HK ACF f + HK SPECIAL MOVES Gate Elbow qcf + punch Leaping Smash qcb + punch Dancing Cyclone Kick qcf + kick Houbu qcb + kick BURNING VIGOURS Kikou Kai qcf, qcf + punch (air also) Reflex Barrage qcb, qcb + punch Aerial Barrage qcb, qcb + kick Haten Mueishu qcf, qcf + kick Team Up - Cart wheeling Juggle and Energy Blast (47) Party Up - Seijyun High School. RUMINATIONS - Akira is definitely my favourite character in the game. She is beautiful and strong and she hasn't been given huge bosoms or anything to make her more appealing to shallow people. - She is also very fast and has a nice array of easily combo-able kicks and punches. - Houbu can be used as a juggle starter - If you can get the Haten Mueisha to connect all hits it does MASSIVE damage. - Perform Gate Elbow with HP and she will side step. - Dancing Cyclone can be performed three times on the trot, LK makes her sweep and HK makes her leap. These can be mixed up. - The Leaping Smash mush be followed up with LK or HK to actually do damage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****************************** b) BATSU ********************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Taiyo High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + HK THROWS Front: Shove Down (29) Back: German Suplex (42) Crouch: Headbutt and Beat up (32) Air: Head Drop (39) BASIC MOVES Triple jab punches LP, LP, LP One-two-elbow HP, f + HP Downward Leg Slice (OH) b + HK Downward Punch (OH) b + HP Triple Kick LK, LK, LK Sweep d + HK ACF f + HP or f + HK SPECIAL MOVES Guts Bullet qcf + punch (air also) Guts Upper f, d, df + punch Crescent Star Kick qcb + kick Shooting Star Kick qcf + kick (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Maximum Guts Bullet qcf, qcf + punch (air also) Maximum Guts Upper qcb, qcb + punch Maximum Shooting Star Kick qcf, qcf + kick (air only) Team Up - Double Fireball/Laser (48) Party Up - Taiyo High School (1) RUMINATIONS - The Guts Bullet is a short ranged energy blast/projectile attack. - We-ell, he's easy to use and pretty effective. A tad dull though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****************************** c) BOMAN ********************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Pacific High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + LP THROWS Front: Samoan Drop (37) Back: German Suplex (43) Crouch: Beat Down and Knee (39) Air: Power Slam (42) BASIC MOVES One-two-smash (OH) db + HP Boxing Punch Combo LP, LP, LP, f + HP Triple Kick LK, LK, HK Sweep df + HK ACF f + HP SPECIAL ATTACKS Great Rush qcf + punch Great Offence qcf + kick Great Defence qcb + kick Great Hook qcb + punch Great Lariat qcb + punch (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Great Slash qcf, qcf + punch Great Cross qcb, qcb + punch (air also) Team Up - Aerial Groin Breaker (55) Party Up - Pacific High School RUMINATIONS - Yeah. This guy punches and punches HARD (I like punchers!). The major downside is that his specials and vigour's seem to come out relatively slowly. - If you perform the Great Rush with LP, Boman will perform three hits to the gut, depending on how close you are the first may knock your opponent flying so further hits do not connect. Pretty useless then really. - Perform the Great Rush with HP and Boman will start with a downward smash making it impossible for the rest of the combo to be blocked, it will now also consist of 6 hits. - Great Offence and Great Defence can be followed with LP (straight) and HP (Uppercut) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************************** d) CHAIR PERSON ****************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Justice High School AIR LAUNCHER none MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + HP or df + HK THROWS Front: DDT (27) Back: Bulldog (39) Crouch: Shoulder Throw (32) Air: 360 Throw (30) BASIC MOVES Overhead Smash (OH) b + HP Punch Combo LP, LP, HP, HP f + HP Sweep d + HK SPECIAL MOVES Wind Stance qcf + punch Dragon Stance f, d, df + punch Lightning Stance qcf + kick Rock Breaker Stance qcb + punch Front Stance qcb + kick BURNING VIGOURS Demonstrations qcf, qcf + punch Lecture Attack qcf, qcf + kick Team Up - Point to Diagram (Fills Team Up meter and replenishes a small amount of energy) Party Up - Taiyo High School (2) RUMINATIONS - A great character to have as a partner, the life bar replenishment is pretty small but is a good bonus on top of having your Team Up meter filled by four levels. - The Lecture Attack is pretty handy to, as the first hit is a low sweep which trips the opponent up making it trickier than usual to defend against. Her main downside is her lack of special air attacks. - If the third part of Demonstrations connects it stuns the opponent making it impossible to avoid the rest of the attack. - Dragon Stance and Lightning Stance, can be delayed up too about four or five seconds by holding the button. The longer the move is held, the more times it hits. If you manage to connect with the move after holding that long, it does massive damage. Dragon can be held for 6 seconds gaining 69 max damage. Lightening can be held for 6 seconds for a max damage of 46. - Perform Wind Stance with LP for a sweep, HP for a straight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* e) DAIGO ********************************* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Gedo High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER b + HK THROWS Front: Shake and Throw (32) Back: German Suplex (39) Crouch: Beat down and Knee (39) Air: Rolling Slam (39) BASIC MOVES One-two-smash (OH) b + HP Punch Combo LP, LP, HP, HP, f + HP Sweep d + HK ACF f + HP SPECIAL MOVES Phoenix Fist qcf + punch Phoenix Back fist f, d, df + punch Phoenix Fire qcb + punch Phoennix Kick qcb + kick Skull Aura qcf + punch (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Phoenix Fury qcf, qcf + punch Super Phoenix Fire qcf, qcf + kick Super Skull Aura qcf, qcf + punch (air only) Team Up - Counter Uppercut (55) Party Up - Gedo High School RUMINATIONS - Plays much like a bigger, slower Batsu. His Burning Vigour's come out pretty fast and are highly damaging. Plus he looks damn cool in that long coat. - The Phoenix Fire is a very cheesy move. No matter how far away an opponent is it will still knock them over if they don't jump in time. It's great for interrupting attacks that are being activated at long range. It can however be blocked low. - The Super Phoenix Fire needs to be activated at VERY close range or it will miss entirely. - Skull Aura if performed with LP aims downward, HP aims it straight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* f) EDGE ********************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Gedo High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + HK THROWS Front: Vertical Suplex (27) Back: German Suplex (39) Crouch Throw: Beat down and Knee (33) Air: Rolling Slam (32) BASIC MOVES Cartwheel Kick f + HK Triple Punch LP, LP, Kick - Triple Spin Kick HK, hold b, HK, HK, HK Four Kick combo b + HK, HK, f + HK, b + HK SPECIAL MOVES Reversing Blade Strike qcf + punch (air also) Anti Air Reversing Blade Strike qcb + punch Cheap Shot qcf + kick Low Blow qcb + kick (air also) BURNING VIGOURS Stake Out qcf, qcf + punch (air also) Slash Out qcb, qcb + punch Team Up - Dashing Blade (48) Party Up - Gedo High School RUMINATIONS - Edge remains one of the better characters in the game. His flexibility in the air is his major plus point, as are his fast and easily chained kicks. - If you use LP when performing the Reversing Blade Strike you will remain facing you opponent and it will strike low. - If you use HP when performing the Reversing Blade Strike it will hit high and you will end up with your back to your opponent. - Edge can chain up to four reversing blade strikes together. Just perform it twice with light punch, then twice with heavy punch. - In more detail - Reverse Blade Strike: This has many possibilities. It can be repeated... in certain orders for two, three, or four strikes. Note, these won't count as a combo, although they should. - 2 strikes: QCF+LP, QCF+LP; or QCF+HP, QCF+HP; or QCF+LP, QCF+HP (ends with back to opponent) - 3 strikes: QCF+LP, QCF+HP, QCF+HP - 4 Strikes: QCF+LP, QCF+LP, QCF+HP, QCF+HP - The Anti-Air version can also be repeated, well, twice: QCB+LP, QCB+HP - Perform Cheap Shot with HK and you end up with your back turned to your opponent. - The HK Low blow will stun the opponent, but puts Edges back to him. However, quickly pressing QCF+HP and Edge should get in a Reverse Blade Strike before the opponent recovers. It still won't combo. - LK Low Blow hits low. HK Low Blow hits midsection. In the Air, LK Low Blow has a steep angle, HK Low Blow has a 45 degree angle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* g) GAN ********************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Gedo High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + LP THROWS Front: Headbutt and Slam (34) Back: Bulldog (39) Crouch: Pile Driver (42) Air: Power Bomb (42) BASIC MOVES Triple Punch LP, LP, HP Overhead Chop b + HP Palm Strike f + HP Overhead Smash (OH) b + HK ACF f + HP or d + HK SPECIAL MOVES Gun Stabbing qcb + punch Clapping Hand Destruction f, d, df + punch Rough Wave Stomping qcf + kick Gedo Tackle qcb + kick Giant Storm hcb + punch The Rock qcf + kick (air only) Giant Cyclone qcf + punch (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Super Gun Stabbing qcf, qcf + punch Concrete Smash qcb, qcb + punch Helicopter Smash qcf, qcf + punch (air only) Team Up - The Bumps (60) Party Up - Gedo High School RUMINATIONS - The hugest fighter in the game by miles and is thus a pretty obvious target. However he does have quite a decent amount of specials to make up for this and his Burning Vigour's are very damaging. - Giant Storm is an unblockable throw (reminiscent of one of Panda/Kuma's throws in Tekken 3) - The Clapping Hands will stun opponents if it isn't blocked. - The HK Rough Wave Stomping can be repeated a second time for another hit. - The HK Gedo Tackle is a Launcher, and can start an air combo. - LK Rock causes Gan to fall in a seated position; HK is head down. LK does less damage, but is easier to hit with. HK, if it successfully hits a standing opponent, will automatically dizzy him or her. - The Giant Cyclone can NOT be used in an air combo! It can only grab an opponent that is upright (i.e. in control of him/herself) in the air. This makes it basically useless. The same holds true for the Helicopter Smash BV. - Because of his size, some universal moves are changed: - Dash+LK: Body slide. Gan is knocked down after this. - Dash+HK: Butt Slam - Gan rams his backside into the opponent. There is a recovery time from this move, but not as bad as from his body slide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* h) HAYATO ******************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Taiyen High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + HK THROWS Front: Power Punch (27) Back: German Suplex (42) Crouch: Beat Down and Headbutt (35) Air: Head Drop (37) BASIC MOVES Cart wheel smash (OH) b + HK Slash b + HP Triple Punch LP, LP, HP Sweep d + HP ACF f + HP SPECIAL MOVES Scolding Smash qcf + punch Devastation Kick f, d, df + kick Counter Thrust qcb + punch Second Kick qcb + kick Rolling Smash qcf + kick (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Burning Push-Ups qcf, qcf + punch Burning Cross Counter qcb, qcb + punch Burning Windmill qcf, qcf + kick Burning Stoic qcb, qcb + kick Team Up - Ass Whacking Energy Charger (48) Party Up - Taiyo High School (2) RUMINATIONS - Hayato is very fast and his pokey stick (kendo practice sword) gives him some great range. But he's a P.E teacher so he must DIE!!!!!! - Successfully performing the Second Kick will leave you with your back to the opponent - The Scolding Smash will hit grounded opponents. - LP Devastation kick goes straight up, HK at an angle. - During the warm up phase of the Counter Thrust, Hayato looks vulnerable, but he isn't. While attacks that hit will damage, the damage is reduced, and he WILL finish the attack, no matter what he is hit with. - Hayato ends up on the ground after a Second Kick. - The Burning Cross Cutter can be delayed, and the longer held, the more damage it does. It can be held for up to six seconds. Max damage is 95!! - The Burning Stoic is a defensive ability. It makes Hayato nearly invulnerable for about 6 seconds. - Some people have pointed out that Hayato is hitting the back and not the ass in his Team-Up, well it sure looks like the ass to me. Maybe they changed it for the US versions :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* i) HIDEO ******************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Justice High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HK MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + HP THROWS Front: Shoulder Throw (30) Back: German Suplex (42) Crouch: Back Roll Throw (35) Air: Rolling Slam (39) BASIC MOVES Slash Kick (OH) b + HK Overhead Smash (OH) b + HP ACF f + HP SPECIAL MOVES Seihaken qcf + punch (air also) Air Seihaken qcb + punch Jicchokuken f, d, df + punch Shinenkyaku qcb + kick Raieishuu qcf + kick (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Shimazu Seihaken qcb, qcb + punch Shimazu Shin Jicchokuken qcf, qcf + punch Shimazu Raieishuu qcf, qcf + kick (air only) Team Up - Shimazuruu Shin Seihaken (50) Party Up - Justice High RUMINATIONS - Seihaken is a mid-ranged energy ball.

Once it connects, keep tapping LK or HK for up to 6 hits. - The LP Syusseki Kakunin is a sweep. The HP is an uppercut. - The LK Shouten Sekkai hits once and can be used as a mini-launcher. The HK version hits twice and cannot be used as a launcher. - The One Winged Stance is a counter move. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* l) KYOSUKE ****************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Taiyo High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HK MINI AIR LAUNCHER none THROWS Front: Hurricaranna (29) Back: Leg Launcher (42, can be used as an air launcher) Crouch: Back Roll Throw (35) Air: Head Drop (35) BASIC MOVES Turning Slice Kick (OH) b + HK Spinning Backfist b + HP Triple Punch LP, LP, LP Sweep d + HK ACF f + HP or f + HK SPECIAL MOVES Cross Cutter qcf + punch Shadow Cut Kick qcf + kick (air also) Shadow Breaker qcb + punch Lightning Upper f, d, df + punch Shadow Wave qcf + punch (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Super Cross Cutter qcf, qcf + punch Super Shadow Cut Kick qcf, qcf + kick (air also) Super Lightning Upper qcb, qcb + punch Team Up - Double Right Good Kicking (or Dance of Death if you want to be pedantic) (44) Party Up - Taiyo High School (1) RUMINATIONS - Oddly Kyosuke has the second-least damaging team-up attack of all. He looks so hard as well. - The Lightning Upper also functions as a Mini Air Launcher. - The Super Lightning Upper also Functions as an Air Launcher - The Cross Cutter will hit twice when performed at close range, only once from further away. Is less damaging at long range as well. - The super cross cutter is MORE effective from further away. - The shadow cut kick only does about half damage when performed in the air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* m) MOMO ********************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Gorin High School/Darkside Student Council AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER f + HK THROWS Front: Headbutt and Racket to throat.

She may look cute, but she's a brute! One of the fastest characters in the game, her range is longer than you would think armed with the tennis racket. She also has a well-balanced armoury of projectiles and in-close pokes. - Follow up the Whale Serve with QCF+P - Momo will race forward and smash your opponent with her racket. - Keep pressing P during the Flip Flap Rocket for up to six hits - Her Team Up attack is one of the highest damaging ones in the game. It also hits low initially and as it is triggered by a low dive can be activated further away than normal. It also seems to have AWESOME priority. Many times when playing with her either in my team or the opponents and we have both triggered team-up attacks at the same time, hers always seems to win.

None of his attacks are hugely damaging. Both his Burning Vigour's come out at the lower ends of the damage spectrum and his Team Up is the weakest in the game. Yet he can be effective as his long arms and legs give him awesome poking and keep out abilities. He can interrupt slower attacks with ease and his range lets him keep out shorter ranged characters. Ultimately though his lack of damaging specials and vigour's means he is probably not one of the better fighters in the game. - That said, I usually pick him as a partner because the Synchronised Swim Team Up is so awesomely funny :) - His normal throw is slightly more effective than normal as he takes a dive towards the opponent and doesn't need to be at such close range. - The air versions of the Concrete Dive do less damage than their ground based counterparts. - LK Breast Stroke Kick hits twice. HK hits three times. Both will knock the opponent down. - LP Underwater Dash heads straight across the screen. HP goes up at an angle. - In The air, LP still goes straight, HP goes down at an angle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* o) NATSU ******************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Gorin High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HP MINI AIR LAUNCHER none THROWS Front: Slap up (32) Back: Bulldog (42) Crouch: Pile Driver (34) Air: Rolling Slam (40) BASIC MOVES Overhead Smash (OH) b + HP Triple Punch LP, LP, LP ACF f + HP or f + HK SPECIAL MOVES Serve Spike qcf + punch (air also) Sliding Receive f, d, df + punch Rolling Receive qcb + punch Top Block df, d, f + punch (air only) Tokkun Spike qcb + punch (air only) BURNING VIGOURS Blazing Serve qcf, qcf + punch (air also) Orbit Serve qcb, qcb + punch Team Up - Pep Talk (fills Team Up Meter) Party Up - Gorin High School RUMINATIONS - I haven't really gotten to grips with Natsu. When fighting the CPU versus Natsu it takes great delight in destroying me with volleyballs all over the place. This happened so many times on the trot one time that I think I just subconsciously can't play as her now. It's too painful.... - Well I sure got my emails after saying that! Seems Natsu has a few fans out there ^_^ - LP and HP Serve Spikes are at slightly different angles. - Sliding Receive can be used as a mini-launcher. - Rolling Receive can be used as a Launcher. - The Tokkun Spike is an (apparently) excellent way to finish an air combo. The Blazing Serve uses the same angles as the Serve Spike so plan accordingly. You don't want to miss your opponent completely. - Placement is tricky for the Orbit Serve. Too close, or too far, and it will do rather little damage. Try and get it so that the opponent is right between two of the landing balls (8 hits, 61 damage, nice.) Note, the LP version the balls will land closer to Natsu than the HP version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* p) RAN ********************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Justice High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HK MINI AIR LAUNCHER df + HP THROWS Front: Two Kicks and Photo (29) Back: German Suplex (40) Crouch: Straddle Photo (34) Air: 360 Throw (32) BASIC MOVES Overhead Slice Kick b + HK Triple Kick (hold f) LK, LK, LK ACF f + HP or f + HK SPECIAL MOVES Flash Attack qcf + punch (air also) Extra Edition qcb + punch (air also) Change Film qcb + kick (air also) BURNING VIGOURS Super Flash Attack qcf, qcf + punch (air also) Exclusive Interview qcb, qcb + punch Team Up - Photo Shoot (45) Party Up - Justice High School RUMINATIONS - If you use the Flash Attack more than 6 times Ran will have run out of film and will perform the Change Film move automatically. - Extra Edition will travel at different angles depending on the button used. LP is lower, HP higher and travels further. - If you can pull of the Exclusive Interview it does an OUTRAGEOUS amount of damage.. I'm not certain, but it might be one of the most powerful B.V's in the game. - The Flash Attack also incorporates a side dodge. Ran only does the side dodge with her Flash Attack if you use HP. She does not move in the light version. - Ran doesn't seem to be a very popular character, but I'm not sure why. She is pretty fast and her attacks are decently damaging. She is one of my favourites to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************** q) ROBERTO ******************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- School: Gorin High School AIR LAUNCHER df + HK MINI AIR LAUNCHER db + HK THROWS Throw: Slam and Overhead (30) Back: Headbutt and Rump Kick (2 hits, 45) Crouch: Knee and Headbutt (2 hits, 38) Air: Mundane Save (25) BASIC MOVES Overhead Slice Kick (OH) b + HK Triple Kick LK, LK, LK Dodge around Back f or b + sidestep ACF f + HK or f + HP SPECIAL MOVES Long Shot qcf + kick Shining Save qcf + punch (air also) Shining Clutch qcb + punch Thrust Kick f, d, df + kick Bicycle Kick qcf + kick (air only) Sliding Kick qcb + kick BURNING VIGOURS Blazing Strikers qcf, qcf + kick (air also) Blazing Juggle qcb, qcb + kick Team Up - Pass and Shoot (50) Party Up - Gorin High School RUMINATIONS - If you hold forward or backward while sidestepping, Roberto will do a nifty dodge around to the opponents rear. - The Shining Save should be activated at a reasonable range otherwise it will miss by miles as Roberto goes flying over his opponent's head. Roberto's Shining Save is much more effective if it catches the opponent in the air. Roberto will catch them and slam them to the ground (good for ending an air combo). - The Shining Clutch catches fireballs. - The Thrust Kick will end with Roberto's back to his opponent. - The Blazing Strikers does not have the same angles as the Long Shot. It has a single angle that will hit opponents across the screen. - Roberto is AWESOME. I always keep him in my team.

If the opponent is too close, then the attack will only do 31. You need to catch the opponent at the critical distance, then the damage will be 58 (60 if they don't manage a safe fall!)

The HP version is done above Kurow's head, and is an excellent air-counter. -The Rokuhu Tsuki can be charged by holding down the appropriate button. It can be charged for up to seven hits - The Yami Kake counters any non-energy blast/projectile attack and will teleport Kurow behind the opponent. If you use HK it will be far behind, LK will be up close. - Kurow's Kirishima Shinkuu Yamiarashi can be performed twice in a row- If you do it once, and you have an energy meter still, you can do it again. This chains it for up to 8 hits, and if your usingthis move, then there's no reason to not use it twice. - The HP Rohuku Tsuki can be chained into a Burning Vigor attack by doing QCF, QCF + Punch. He drains his opponent's life and adds it to his own. - You can control the way the Yasha Guruma floats, and it can be repeated a second time, for 6 hits total. - His BV Kirishima Shinkuu Yamiarashi can be repeated, if you do the QCB, QCB+P motion quick enough. Once again, LP will be right in front of Kurow, HP will be about two steps away. Yes, this will use up another level of GUTS, and raises the attack damage to 31 (from 19).

You're having a laugh? This is probably the most powerful fighter in the game. Look at his movelist. Notice anything? Yup, ALL his basic attacks are high damage Burning Vigour's! As are his Burning Vigour's! As all those B.V's are listed as just Special Moves, I don't think they incur the same charge up penalties or fill opponents Team Up Gauge in the same way as other B.V's. But I need to experiment with this.... If it's true then he is nasty - Nah he ain't so bad. Basically he needs at least one guts level to perform any specials or B.Vs (although he does start with meter fully charged) and he is WEAK. He takes about double damage when he gets hit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel fee to email me about any aspect of this guide, any contributions you would like to make will be fully credited if used and are more than welcome.
