SD is an abbreviation that seems to mean "Super Deformed" whenever it comes to anything japanese, but I'm quite sure that can't be entirely true so I won't say. This is one of the fighting games in its series. There are a few Hiryu no Ken games that came to the U.S., though few know that they are Hiryu no Ken games. For the NES, we have Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll (which was Hiryu no Ken: Ougi no Sho) and Flying Warriors (which was Hiryu no Ken II - Dragon no Tsubasa). Flying Warriors had a lot of content that was altered from HnKII to make it appeal more to westerners. Due to the success of Flying Warriors, we received another Hiryu no Ken game later for the SNES dubbed "Ultimate Fighter". Unfortunately, Ultimate Fighter wasn't nearly as good as Flying Warriors. However, as sad as that may sound, it is significantly better than its Japanese counterpart, Hiryu no Ken S: Hyper Version, which moved slower, had worse animation, and was buggier than the U.S. game. After the failure of Ultimate Fighter, it was surprising to see that we got another game in the series...for the N64 of all consoles! It was simply named "Flying Dragon" and it has Ryuhi (of the Hiryu no Ken games) on the front and it was published by Natsume. As for SD Hiryu no Ken, the game is made by Culture Brain and they don't exactly have the greatest history in the business. They had a few games with a small fanbase and their greatest known success is perhaps Magic of Scheherazade made in the late 80's. They had difficulties producing high quality games on the SNES and as a result, they failed to remain active in U.S. territories. However, some of their games were still interesting. SDHnK is a game with some charm here and there. I previously didn't give this game that much credit originally, but it's better then a few fighters that I've played, despite the control mechanics. .:Description Of The Game Options:. --------------------------------------------------  This game sponsors several modes of play...some are dull, and some are okay. Why would I go through the trouble of making an FAQ for a game that seems as though it sucks you ask? Games with little to no background deserve something and while I dislike games and tend to give low scores, I DO NOT HATE ANY GAME. I love my games and my collection and I treat them with respect when I speak the truth. That being said, the game options are fairly typical (for the most part) and you shouldn't expect anything out of the ordinary. ---Story--- This sucks terribly hard. It is not because it's not in English, but from all of my information I've gathered, the game has no real story. Even through playing the game, I've noticed that the text for everyone is virtually the same until the awful endings. There are fifteen characters and you must defeat fourteen of them then fight Suzaku, the final boss. The story is terribly weak and the characters themselves (the majority) are fairly uninspired. Can you fight your way to the top and face your destiny?.........That is to say one exists. ---VS--- You and a friend go head-to-head and battle one another across fourteen stages. Yes, there are fifteen characters. Suzaku has no stage of his own. Once you have both selected a character and a stage to duel, you can set your handicap. You make it uneven when you tilt the red and blue on the bar. Whoever's side it is leaning on more, they have the advantage and the other has the disadvantage. When you win or lose, you have the options to continue or exit.   ---Tournament--- You and a player must pick eight people. when this is done, you are then presented with three options... The first one (At the very top): Leaves the characters you selected in their proper order so that they may fight one another in the order you made. The second one (In the middle): Allows you to manually change the lineup of the eight fighters you picked if you want to make things different. For example...let's say that Player 1 chooses R.Powers and Player 2 chooses Yuuka. Player 3 then picks Hayato and Player 4 picks Ryuhi. If you picked the first choice, R.Powers would fight Yuuka for the first bout and Hayato and Ryuhi would fight for the second bout. You can switch Player 3 to fight Player 1 so R.Powers would fight Hayato. The third one (On the very bottom): CPU randomly scrambles the fighters so that anyone can fight anyone (Unless you choose eight or seven of the same person).  ---Practice--- You pick a person and engage in several modes of practice. Yuuka will act as your instructor. Here's what each training mode teaches...  In the image above, the "<--" that you see means "away" from the opponent. If you are player 1 on the left side of the screen, this would be left on the D-pad by default. Suzaku counters Yuuka by automatically jumping over her sweep with a drop kick! Suupaa Tekunikku (Translates to Super Technique): This is the option on the top left side. Yuuka will explain some things to you that you probably don't understand so I'll be the translator. Super Techniques are powerful counterattacks that can turn the tide of battle. In order to do a super technique, you must watch the attacks of your opponent closely and use proper timing. Yuuka will then attack you several times and you must try to perform a Super Technique. Hold back (Or away from the opponent) on the joypad and wait until the character takes a defensive stance (The blocking stance) then hit any attack button right before Yuuka's hit makes contact. If done properly, your character will dodge and counterattack. An important thing to note is that you cannot counterattack after your character has blocked the attack. The risk of "ST's" (as the game calls them) is that you can get hit if the timing is incorrect. Also, this generally applies to non-special moves (Normal jabs, punches, etc.). You cannot 100% counter fireballs or stuff like that (unless you fire your own projectile). You can if you are extra close to the opponent and after certain attacks. In other words, it's not foolproof. After fifteen attacks, Yuuka will end the training and you will return to the title screen. Due to the poor hit detection of this game, counterattacks will not always hit the opponent and can leave you vulnerable at times. *Note* If you pause during this training, there are three options you can pick.   -Renshu (u) Wo (o) Kaeru: This lets you quit that training mode and pick another one. (Default)  -Kyarakutaa Wo (o) Kaeru (Kyarakutaa translates into character): This lets you quit training to select another character.(After pressing right on the joypad at Renshu Wo Kaeru/Default)  -Shuryo (u): You quit practice altogether and return to the title screen. (After pressing right on the joypad at Kyarakutaa Wo Kaeru or by pressing left on the joypad at Default)   Suupaa Deifuensu/ Deifensu (hu/fu + e = fe in Japanese. Translates into Super Defense): This is the option on the top right side. Yuuka will once again speak crap that you probably don't understand. I'll speak in her place. "SD's" (as the game calls them) are riskier counterattacks than ST's. You must time well and press back (Or away from the opponent) right before an attack. If done correctly, an "!" will appear over your head and you have a short time to press a command to do various counters. For example, Ryuhi can get the "!" over his head and by pressing the X button (Default), he can do a shoulder throw. If you get the "!" over your head and rotate the pad from back on the pad to forward and press X, Ryuhi will perform a high kick followed by a two-piece combo for three hits (HRF + X). "HRF" (As I will get more detailed later on) is known as a "Half Roundhouse Forward". It may sound complicated, but those who play fighting games on a daily basis know what I mean. After 15 attempts to perform an SD, Yuuka will end the training. SD's are vulnerable to low attacks, so it's better to counter low attacks with ST's. They cannot counter projectiles. There is also something know as SD Chance, but I've explained it in the "Legend" of the character movelist and it varies for person to person. *Note* If you pause the game during this training, you will be given three options. -Renshu (u) Wo (o) Kaeru: *See under Super Technique* -Kyarakutaa Wo (o)Kaeru: *See under Super Technique* -Shuryo (u): *See under Super Technique*  Tokkun (Means Crash course or along those lines,this is "Standard Training Mode"): This mode is the typical training mode of normal fighters and is the middle option on the left. You pick your computer training buddy and then practice your fighter's moves. In the top middle section of the screen, you will notice some text. The computer is set to stand with no guard at default which is noted by "Kamae" at the top middle of the screen. By pressing select, you can change the CPU's stance. I'll try to explain the best that I can. Some Japanese characters were so small and bunched together that I may not have seen them correctly, but they should be correct.  -Kamae: Standing no-guard (Default. It means posture or such).  -Shagamu (mi) Kamae: Crouching no-guard. (Seems to be spelled Shagami, but Shagamu means squat. I found no such word as Shagami and Shagamu Kamae means squatting posture)  -Tachi Gaado ("Gaado" translates to Guard): Standing guard.  -Shagamu (mi) Gaado: Crouching guard.  -SD Gaado: CPU will perform SD's and is vulnerable to low attacks.  -Jyanpu ("Jyanpu" translates to jump): CPU will keep jumping in one spot (No-guard).  -Naname Jyanpu: Will jump back and forth (No-guard).  -Zenshin: Will walk into you without attacking you (No-guard). *Note* There are eight options you can pick in this training exercise. They are... -Renshu (u) Wo (o) Kaeru: *See under Super Technique* -Kyarakutaa Wo (o) Kaeru: *See under Super Technique* -Shuryo (u): *See under Super Technique*  -Kogeki (seems spelled kougeki, but Kogeki means attack) OFF: Cancel anything attacked based turned on and sets everything back to the off position (Press right on the pad after Shuryo). Press the A button to activate.  -"Light" Panchi (Panchi translates into Punch) ON: The game doesn't say "Light"...There is a Kanji there that I don't know, but it should mean something along those lines. The computer will perform light punches whether they are standing or jumping, but they will not attack you if you set them to Zenshin mode. If you set them to Tachi Gaado (Standing guard), they will perform an ST attack instead. If they are set to SD Gaado (SD guard), they will attempt an ST attack if you use low attacks or special attacks. Press A button to activate (Press right on the pad after Kogeki OFF).  -"Strong" Panchi ON: Another Kanji I don't know, but it should mean the same thing. It's generally the same as light panchi but with strong attacks instead of weak. Press A to activate (Press right on the pad after light panchi).  -"Light" Kikku (Kikku translates to kick) ON: It's the same as the aforementioned, but specializes in kicking. Press A to activate (Press right on the pad after strong panchi).  -"Strong" Kikku: Needless to say...so I won't say it. Press A to activate it (Press right on the pad after light kikku).  Renshu Jiai (Not sure what it means, but you can train against a real CPU opponent and not one that simply punches and kicks. Thus, I call it "CPU training"): This is located on the middle right side. You basically practice against the CPU. Be warned, they can go all-out when the mood strikes them. *Note* There are three options in this training exercise. They are... -Renshu (u) Wo (o) Kaeru: *See under Super Technique* -Kyarakutaa Wo (o) Kaeru: *See under Super Technique* -Shuryo (u) : *See under Super Technique* Owaru (finished): It is the option on the very bottom left side. It makes you quit the practice mode and return to the title screen.  ---Options--- WHEW!!! Finally back at the title screen! This is the last option in the game. There are seven things to alter. They are: -Level: The difficulty level. -Timer: The bout time. -Speed: Game speed. -Sound: Set the sound to "Sutereo" (Stereo) or "Monraru" (Mono) -Round: You can set it to 1 round or 3 rounds. -Singan: A sparkle will sometimes come out of you or the opponent if this is on. It seems to show you where the opponent is most vulnerable. Hit them at the location of the sparkle at that precise moment and you could make them dizzy. If the sparkle is "Blue", you must hit them with a fierce attack to make them lose consciousness. If "Red", you must hit them with a light attack maybe...But it appears to be this way. They may also get dizzy when hit with a fierce hit when the sparkle is red (This is so I'm not 100% incorrect :P ). After playing Flying Dragon on the N64, I believe that Singan means the "Mind's Eye". The sparkle that appears on a character is indeed their weak point. Practicing to attack Singan highlighted areas is known as "Mind's Eye Training". -Controller: Set your controls. ---.:Characters and their movelist:.--- Before I can tell you what you want to know, you must learn the basics. *Legend* (All moves are noted with characters on the left side of the screen and at default control setup) -Back= Back/Away -BackD= Back Down -D= Down -DF= Down Forward -F= Forward -FUP= Forward Up -UP= Up -UPBack= Up back/Away -QRF= Quarter Roundhouse Forward (Rotate D,DF,F quickly) -QRBack= Quarter Roundhouse Back/Away (Rotate D,BD,B quickly) -HRF= Half Roundhouse Forward (Rotate Back,BackD,D,DF,F quickly) -HRBack= Half Roundhouse Back/Away (Rotate F,DF,D,BackD,Back quickly) -Rotate Counter Clockwise (360 Degrees) = UP, UPBack, Back, BackD, D, DF, F, FUP and UP again. -Rotate Clockwise (360 Degrees) = UP, FUP, F, DF, D, BackD, Back, UPBack, and UP again. -Charge = To hold a specified direction. For example, Charge Back means to hold away from the opponent. -SD= Execute an SD grab first -Y= Light punch -X= Strong punch -B= Light kick -A= Strong kick -L= Taunt -R= S. Step -Extra Things To Know- *= Taunting isn't all that necessary. **= You can step into the background with the S. step to dodge attacks. if you walk towards the enemy close enough and execute the S. step, you will rush behind them! Tapping F or Back twice quickly makes you quick step. ***= Daze: The state in which your opponent is left powerless. If you enter this state, press the buttons rapidly to recover ASAP. ****= The lower a character's toughness rating, the easier they get dizzy. They may also get knocked down from moves that may not knock others down so easily. *****= Clockwise moves work best when you start the motion in midair and end them on the ground. ******= I must say something else about SD's. If you block attacks, you may notice that a bar fills up. When it is full, it will say "SD CHANCE!". It appears that this only does anything when the bar is full and the character is fatigued AND you do an SD. It seems to do a "Secondary" kind of Sacred Art, but I only got Ryuhi's to work due to crap controls. The "!" that comes up is red instead of blue and for some reason, doing certain things when the bar is full will either cause a small portion to go down or all of it... resulting in empty. You have a very short time to enter commands during an SD. *******= Sacred Arts are infinite so long as you are fatigued. ********= There are ten terms that I know of. The first is "Great!" when you do a combo that's around 9 or 10 hits. The second is "Super Tech" when you perform an ST. The third is SD CHANCE when you block enough attacks to fill up the bar on the top of the screen. The fourth is "Youenmu". It can be done with Hayato's Spiral Tempest Rush. The fifth is "Triple Sickle". This can be done when you link Minmin's Air attack immediately with Aerial Wheel Slash. The sixth is "Ryu Souga". It is done when Ryuhi first executes a fierce close range punch followed by UP then immediately execute the Heading For The Sky skill with the B button. The seventh is "Tenbu Satu". Execute a close range fierce punch with Minmin and execute Beautiful Angel Dance. The eighth is called "Spout Staff". This is done with E. Quaker's Flaming Staff of Doom. The ninth is "Vacuum Blow". This can be done with A. Roseman's Tiger Blow. The tenth is "Guren". This can be done with Suzaku's Burning Arrow. !!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All moves that say "DURING SD", please refer to the "DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME OPTIONS" section and look for the subsection practice. Then under the section "SUPER DEIFUENSU" under practice. It will explain how to execute an SD grab. (In order of intro appearance. Also, five stars is the max for a stat.)  -Ryuhi- Height: 170 cm Weight: 78 kg Age: 22 Blood Type: B Speed:*** Power:*** Toughness:*** Throwing Power:** Ryuhi's Stage: China Ryuhiho Ryuhi notes: Ryuhi is the main character of the U.S. NES Flying Dragon. In his previous adventures, he was younger and was incapable of dealing with Suzaku. He has matured now and is much stronger... does he have what it takes to get rid of Suzaku once and for all? An average character with effective techniques at his disposal. (My own named techniques) \\Normal Arts// Normal Jab: Y (Distanced) Elbow Blow: Y (Close) Jump punch: Jump in any direction then Y while in midair Crouching Normal Jab: Y while crouching Fierce Fist: X (Distanced) Deadly Elbow Blow: X (Close) Strong Jump Punch: Jump in any direction then X while in midair.

He is intent on stopping Suzaku but for what reason?...By beating him, he will then be worthy to beat Ryuhi. A character with experience and devastating techniques, he is a great character that should be used properly to truly show his skill. Be careful as Hayato bruises somewhat easily, and can get fatigued often if you aren't cautious. \\Normal Arts// Palm Thrust: Y (Distanced) Stomach blow: Y (Close) Jumping Eagle Claw: Y while in midair Below-The-Belt: Y while crouching Stone Fist: X (Distanced) Rising Current Hand: X (Close) Fierce Jumping Eagle Strike: X while in midair Power Below-The-Belt: X while crouching Double Kick Attack: B (Distanced) Knee Kick: B (Close) Aerial Arc Kick: B while in midair *Note* Becomes Great Drop Kick if you jump forward or backwards.

Wheel Of The Blue Flame: QRBack + B or A \\Throws//  Neckbreaker Throw: X next to the opponent \\SD Moves// Neckbreaker Throw: SD then X  + +  =  Awakening Of The Four Gods: SD then HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  =  Return To The Void!: When life gauge is around 1/5 (Character looks fatigued), HRBack + X (Close range) *Description* The screen dims black and Hayato grabs the opponent and fills the opponent with energy to destroy them from the inside. Takes around 1/2 of their life.  -Minmin/Minmim- Height: 160 cm Weight: SHH! It's a secret (Yeah I know...that's dumb) Age: 20 Blood Type: B Speed:**** Power:** Toughness:* Throwing Power:*** Minmin's Stage: Hong Kong Town Minmin Notes: What you see above is not a typo on my behalf. Culture Brain screwed up and that's why you see two names that are very similar. When choosing her stage, you will see that her name is Minmim. Her Katakana (Symbols that are under her when you highlight her) spells "Minmin" (Though N's in Japan also act as M's. Super Famicom is actually spelled "Super Famicon" ...see?). She is also called Minmin in combat. Anyway, she is fighting to become strong woman. She's decent and can get people dazed with her "Triple Sickle" combo. \\Normal Arts// Shadow Jab: Y (Distanced) *Note* Same up close. Flamingo Strike: Y in midair Low Shadow Jab: Y while crouching Dream Backhand: X (Distanced) Javelin Thrust: X (Close) Fierce Flamingo Strike: X in midair Low Shadow Blow: X while crouching Skyscraper Kick: B (Distanced) Middle World Kick: B (Close) Angel's Front Heel Kick: B in midair *Note* Becomes Angel Dive when you jump back and forth. Low Stretch Kick: B while crouching Lakeside Kick: A (Distanced) Cloud Kick: A (Close) Lovely Angel Front Heel Kick: A in midair *Note* Becomes Grand Heaven Dive when you jump back and forth. Ground Hunter Sweep: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  +  Dancing Dragon Flame: Charge Back for 1 second then press F + Y or X *Note* Is faster with the X button.  Wheel Slash: Back, D, DBack + A or B *Note* She flies further with A and they are knocked down. A quick combo can be started if done with B if you punch afterwards.  Aerial Wheel Slash: This one is tricky. While in air, press UP, UPF, Forward, DownForward, Down, DownBack, Back + A. Try to think of it as rotating from Up to Forward, then Forward to down, then down to back very quickly.  +  +  Beautiful Angel Dance: D, DF, F, FUP, UP + A *Note* 3 hit move that knocks down the opponent. \\Throws//  Ground Slammer: X while close to an opponent. \\SD Moves// Ground Slammer: SD then X Beautiful Angel Dance: SD then QRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  =  Neo Dancing Dragon Flame: When life gauge is 1/5 (Character looks fatigued), Charge Back for 1 second then press BackD, D, DF, F + A *Description* Minmin summons all of her chi to produce a flame so powerful, it burns everything in it's path and rends her foes asunder. It deals 50% damage to the foe unlucky enough to get caught.  -Wiler- Height: 187 cm Weight: 105 kg Age: 29 Blood Type: O Speed:** Power:**** Toughness:**** Throwing Power:**** Wiler's Stage: South East Asia Jungle Wiler Notes: A power force to be feared, but quite slow, Wiler's power move, his True Devastator Slam, deals nice damage...But his second SD move makes short work of his opponents. He is more of a throw orientated type of character unlike the others and he has more throws. From what I've heard from some guys on random websites (I can't remember the names for the life of me. I believe it was Answers.com though), he seems to want to find RAIMA. He can also create nasty combos with his Dynamite kick and his Ultimate Magnum Assault. A superb character if you watch his speed. \\Normal Arts// Straight Punch: Y (Distanced) *Note* Remains Straight Punch at close range. Low Straight Punch: Y while crouching Aerial Straight Punch: Y while in midair Buster Punch: X (Distanced) Buster Upper: X (Close) *Note* Hits twice. Fierce Aerial Straight: X while in midair Heavy Kick: B (Distanced) Legbreaker Low: B (Close) Full-Damage Kick: B while in midair *Note* Becomes Dangerous Drop Kick when you jump back and forth. Ironman Kick: B while crouching Ultra Heavy Kick: A (Distanced) Circular Powerhouse Kick: A (Close) 150% Damage Kick: A while in midair *Note* Becomes Omega Drop Kick when you jump back and forth. Steelman Kick: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Snake Crush Slasher: HRF + B or A *Note* Flies further with A button.  +  +  +  +  + +  +  +  +  Ultimate Magnum Assault: QRBack + A *Note* Hits 7 times. Very effective. \\Throws//  +  +  Backward Slam: Get next to opponent and press X  +  +  +  Piledriver Slam: Get next to opponent and press A  +  +  Devastator Hold: While next to opponent, press HRBack + Y or X + + +  +  True Devastator Slam: During Devastator Slam, press Y or X *Note* VERY POWERFUL! \\SD Moves//  "The Crusher": During SD, press X  Leg Breaker Of Death: During SD, press HRF + X *Note* UNBELIEVABLY POWERFUL!!!!!! \\Sacred Art// + + + + + + + +  +  Delta Ultimate Magnum Finish: When fatigued, quickly press HRBack then press HRF + X. *Note* Like Roseman's Sacred Art, it may act stubborn as this game's controls can be unforgiving. *Description* Man I luv Wiler! He does his Ultimate Magnum Assault, but finishes it with a grand wave. It deals slightly more than 1/2 life, but not as much as Roseman's art. Also, it is blockable, but linkable in combos. Due to Wiler's might, linking it in even the most simple combo can make characters with max toughness scores dazed. It can be extremely deadly.  -Syoryu- Height: 158 cm Weight: 52 kg Age: 15 Blood Type: Unknown (Yes. They don't know) Speed:***** Power:** Toughness:** Throwing Power:**** Syoryu's Stage: Mexico Pyramid (Not to be confused for E. Quaker's pyramid!) Syoryu Notes: Syoryu is one of the fastest characters in the game. He goes to check out a pyramid...only to find E. Quaker inside. Don't know much more than that. He's pretty dumb anyway. What kind of kid goes inside of pyramids of doom? E. Quaker should kick his butt...that is if he can catch it. His moves are rather ineffective and he's pretty weak but at least his throws can deal decent damage. \\Normal Arts// Gale Punch: Y (Distanced) *Note* Remains Gale Punch at close range. Falling Chop: Y while in midair *Note* Becomes Crosscutter Wing when you jump back and forth. Low Dragon Punch: Y while crouching Deadly Wind: X (Distanced) Deadly Typhoon: X (Close) Fierce Falling Chop: X while in midair *Note* Becomes Crosscutter Wing X when you jump back and forth. Low Dragon Punch EX: X while crouching Middle Kick: B (Distanced) Middle Knee: B (Close) Fallen Bird: B while in midair Stretch Kick: B while crouching High Striker: A (Distanced) Twirling Spin Kick: A (Close) Fallen Falcon: A while in midair *Note* Syoryu will flip off of the opponent upon contact. Dragon Slide: A while crouching *Note* A slide attack. It travels a small distance. \\Special Arts//  +  +  Dragon Breath Strike: HRF + Y or X *Note* Flies faster with X  +  Wall Kick: Jump toward the end of the screen by tapping UPBack, then press FUP when you have touched the end of the screen. *Note* Syoryu exclusive.  +  +  Falling Dragon Body Press: HRF, FUP, UP + A *Note* Hold F to go an extended distance. Very ineffective...  +  +  Dragon Flight: Hold D for 1 second then press UP + A *Note* Quite ineffective. \\Throws//  +  +  +  +  +  Typhoon Rage: HRBack + Y or X  +  +  +  Backbreaker Knee Press: Get close and press X \\SD Moves//  +  Whirlpool Knee Slam: SD then press X  +  Frankensteiner "Syoryu" style!: SD then press HRF + X \\Sacred Art// + +  +  +  Fiery Dragon Crush: When character's life gauge is around 1/5 (Character looks fatigued), jump in the air and perform two clockwise motions and hit X on the ground (Done in the same fashion as Zangief's Piledriver moves). *Note* EXTREMELY STUBBORN AT TIMES!! I found his to be done easier on the left side unlike Mainohana's move (Although they are done the same way with the exception of a button press at the end). It's harder for Syoryu because he will tend to fire his fireball when he hits the ground. *Description* Syoryu invokes the power of flame to set himself ablaze. He then leaps high in the air in an attempt to dish severe damage by falling on his foe. Deals around 50% damage to your opponent.  -Tetsuo- Height: 172 cm Weight: 70 kg Age: 18 Blood Type: B Speed:* Power:*** Toughness:*** Throwing Power:** Tetsuo's Stage: Japan Kawara Tetsuo Notes: Maybe he hates Suzaku because he's ugly...maybe because he has bad breath...or maybe because he's too sexy for Tetsuo's car...Whatever reason Tetsuo is fighting for, one thing is certain; His stats suck. His moves are less than good but better than bad. He is quite useless in my fair opinion. His only redeeming qualities seems to be his overconfidence in battle as well as his arrogance (The guy has a clenched fist even when defeated!). \\Normal Arts// Tough Punch: Y (Distanced) Tough Elbow: Y (Close) Fury Slash: Y while in midair Danger Below: Y while crouching Deadly Slash: X (Distanced) Tyrant Smash: X (Close) True Fury Slash: X while in midair Lower Deadly Slash: X while crouching Wood Heel: B (Distanced) Knee Cracker: B (Close) Flying Kick: B while in midair Crouching High Kick: B while crouching Dominating Kick: A (Distanced) Destructive Knee: A (Close) Mega Flying Kick: A while in midair Dominating Low: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Fire Edge: F, D, DF + Y or X *Note* If you are too close to a slim opponent while performing with the Y button, your attack will go through the opponent. The geyser that explodes from the ground when performed with X can hit the opponent at close range. The X version knocks down the opponent.  Fatal Stab: QRBack, F + Y or X *Note* Both buttons seem to knock down the opponents. X goes a further distance.  +  Carnival Rush: QRBack + B or A *Note* Can hit up to three times. \\Throws//  Tyrant's Rampage: X while close  Jester's Knee: A while close \\SD Moves// Jester's Knee: During SD, press X Tyrant's Rampage: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art// *Tyrant Crush: I've gotten him to do it, but don't know how. He does a high speed headbutt and...that's it. It deals around 50% damage. Help would be appreciated.  -(Idarugo) Uruka- Height: 191 cm!? Weight: 191 kg!? Age: 12!? Blood Type: AB Speed:* Power:***** Toughness:***** Throwing Power:*** Uruka's Stage: Lost World (Might be referring to Jurassic Park. Who knows?) Uruka Notes: Uruka is some kind of beast boy. I picked him and translated the text by his name. It seems to come out to "Idarugo" which may translate to "Idalgo"...but truthfully, I have no idea. A "boy" of tremendous strength, he seems to be important to some tribe and they may want to witness his might from what I surmise. Really, I don't see his connection to the nonexistant story. He possesses amazing strength and toughness but weak speed and decent throwing power. He's rather lame with a somewhat limited fighting style as I only found 3 "Real" moves for him; 2 special arts and his sacred art. His sacred art is insane though........he has another move he does in the demos that I can't seem to do with him. Help would be appreciated. \\Normal Arts// Giant Punch: Y (Distanced) Hammer Punch: Y (Close) Boulder Smasher: Y while in midair Leg Ripper: Y while crouching *Note* Rather slow for a light crouching attack. Diabolical Smash: X (Distanced) Giga Hammer: X (Close) Mountain Breaker: X while in midair Leg Shredder: X while crouching Bare Feet Kick: B (Distanced) Titan Step: B (Close) Mad Ape: B while in midair *Note* Becomes Fallen Titan if you jump back and forth. Forward Thrust: B while crouching Bigfoot Kick: A (Distanced) Ape Kick: A (Close) Insane Ape: A in midair *Note* Becomes Fallen Meteor if you jump back and forth. Power Thrust: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Stone Wheel: QRF + Y or X *Note* If done with X, it moves faster  Prowling Ogre Kick: HRF + A or B *Note* If done with A, the opponent is knocked down. \\Throws//  +  Monster Slam: Press X while next to an opponent  Over-The-Head: Press A while next to an opponent \\SD Moves// Over-The-Head: During SD, Press X  Nut Cracker: During SD, Press HRF + X *Note* Tries to crack your head like a nutcracker! No Joke! \\Sacred Art//  +  +  Massacre of 1000!: When around 1/5 of your life (Fatigued), press HRF twice + X *Description* A rampage so powerful that it can slay an opponent at full life if they don't block (They must also be in the corner)! Deals 100% damage. It's generally instant death.  -Daddy- Height: 130 cm Weight: 360 kg Age: 1036 Blood Type: A Speed:** Power:**** Toughness:***** Throwing Power:** Daddy's Stage: Sky Palace And...  -Jennifer- Height: 128 cm Weight: Out of the Question Age: 1032 Blood Type: B Daddy and Jennifer Notes: Quite slow and lacking in technique, but strong and durable. That's Daddy's strength. Jennifer is his master though, and she joins him in one or two of his attacks. With a fair fireball and an aerial attack that has questionable hit detection, he isn't too great. He can double jump though. They are obviously ancient beings of sorts, either by some experiment or other sorts. There are better fighters. \\Normal Arts// *Note* Due to Daddy being a lion, several attacks look the same. Thrust Claw: Y (Distanced) Claw Swipe: Y (Close) Demon Talons: Y while in midair Double Slam Talons: X (Distanced) Power Swipe: X (Close) Fierce Demon Talons: X while in midair Ground Swipe: B (Stays the same regardless of range) Rock Crash: B while in midair Sneaky Ground Swipe: A Meteor Crash: A while in midair \\Special Arts//  Fire Blast: QRF + Y or X  Falling Star: HRF + Y or X while in midair *Note* Double jumping may make this move more or less useful. \\Throws//  +  +  +  Jennifer Slash: Do 360 on the pad (Counter Clockwise) and press the X button.  Tasty Snack: Press X while close to the enemy \\SD Moves//  Mighty Lion: During SD, press X  Aerial Ruin: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  Horn Charge: When fatigued, Press Down, Back, Down, and Forward + A *Description* Almost as slow as Suzaku's sacred art, Daddy grows a horn on his head and charges at the foe. Leaves him very vulnerable should he miss. Deals extreme damage if the foe is cornered and you do the attack close. Deals up to 75% damage.  -A. Roseman- Height: 178 cm Weight: 65 kg Age: 43 Blood Type: AB Speed:**** Power:** Toughness:** Throwing Power:** A. Roseman's Stage: England Big Ben A. Roseman Notes: Don't let this guys power rating fool you! He's much more deadly than he looks. Although I don't know his relevance to the story, he's pretty cool. With decent speed, uppercuts with good power and pretty good moves if used effectively with his pretty slow yet unblockable Roseman Typhoon, he's out to win. Tornado Blitz mesmerizes his foes with a flurry of attacks that may make them dazed. One of his only notable weaknesses is his lack of a full range projectile. \\Normal Arts// Lightning Jab: Y (Distanced. Same at close range) Jumping Punch: Y while in air Quick Straight: Y while crouching Storm Blow: X (Distanced) Heavy Upper: X (Close) *Note* Knocks down opponent. Jumping Smash: X while in air Dangerous Straight: X while crouching Fierce Hook: B (Distanced) Stomach Blow: B (Close) Dynamite Hook: B while in air Concentrated Straight: B while crouching *Note* While not as fast as Quick Straight and while it may look the same, it is slightly stronger. Double Blow: A (Distanced) *Note* Although he punches twice, I don't think it can hit twice because he (or the enemy) slides back after the first hit. Could be wrong. Fury Upper: A (Close) *Note* Hits twice. Explosive Hook: A while in air Sweeper Hook: A while crouching *Note* Knocks down opponent. \\Special Arts//  +  +  +   +  +  Tornado Blitz: Charge Back for one second then press F + Y or X *Note* Y hits 5 times. Using X, it hits 8 wonderful times.  Tiger Blow: QRF + Y or X *Note* At a certain range, it hits twice.  Disappearing Act: F, DF, D + A or B *Note* Can evade fireballs and normal attacks with this! You can't tell from the pic, but he flashes momentarily.  Haze Uppercut: Back, BackD, D + A  Corkscrew Blow: HRF + X  Illusionary Double: HRF + A while in air *Note* It must be done in air, but it works best as HRF + A although I've gotten it to work as QRF + A. The bad controls are to blame sadly. It fakes the enemy as he quickly teleports to the ground from the air. You can't tell from the pic, but he flashes briefly. \\Throws//  +  +  Pummel: Press X while close  +  Two Piece: Press A while close \\SD Moves//  Push-Back: During SD, press X Tornado Blitz: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  +  +  Beautiful Roseman Typhoon: When fatigued, press HRBack then quickly Press HRF + A. *Note* It may act stubborn, but this is generally the way to do it. *Description* Roseman throws a rose up to the sky and then charges at his foes with an uppercut with the force of a raging typhoon. The opponent hits the rose that he threw into the air splitting the rose into falling petals. Afterwards, he poses to humiliate you. Seems slightly stronger than most of the arts, but generally takes 1/2 of their life. Unblockable.  -E. Quaker- Height: 230 cm Weight: 100 kg Age: 4096 Type: X Speed:* Power:**** Toughness:***** Throwing Power:** E. Quaker's Stage: Egypt Pyramid E. Quaker Notes: E. Quaker seems to be an evil mummy. Chances are, the story is probably so generic that he IS an evil mummy just because he looks like one. E. Quaker is very slow and despite what his power rating is, he isn't so great. His moves aren't good enough to make up for his lack of speed and he's not a good character. His Whip Slash Kick and Flaming Staff of Doom are good moves, especially his Flaming Staff of Doom when used against relatively tall fighters. His sacred art is also unblockable. Otherwise, he's a giant sitting duck...minus the fact that he's standing up on his own two feet...but who's keeping notes? \\Normal Arts// Thrust Staff: Y (Distanced) Mummy strike: Y (Close) Staff Smash: Y while in air Lower Thrust: Y while crouching Air-Splitting Smash: X (Distanced) Back Staff: X (Close) Demon Smash: X while in air Super Lower Thrust: X while crouching Mummy Kick: B (Distanced) Foot Stomp: B (Close) Falling Staff: B while in air Thrust Kick: B while crouching Whip Slash Kick: A (Distanced) *Note* Somewhat cheap, this move possess great range. Mega Foot Stomp: A (Close) Falling Knee Crash: A while in air Sliding Kick: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Terror Shock: HRF + Y or X *Note* Moves faster with X.  Flaming Staff of Doom: HRBack + Y or X *Note* If done with X, you can move while he spins the staff and it hits one time. If you use the Y button, he's stationary. It's meant to hit aerial enemies. However, against bigger opponents such as Wiler, this hits the opponent a cruel amount of times...about 13 or 14 by itself!! Unfortunately, E (For short) isn't a good combo person. This move can make up for that shortcoming. Great move, but may leave E open.  Doomsday Blade: Back, D, DBack + Y or X \\Throws//  Splitter: Get close and press X! \\SD Moves// Splitter: During SD, press X  Evil Eyes: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  +  +  Hell's Madness: When Fatigued (Life around 1/5), Charge Back for 1 second then press DBack, D, DF, F + X. *Description* E shoots a high level shock that freezes the opponent. From there, he torments their mind and they suffer damage from the horrible gestures he makes. It doesn't deal half their life in damage like more powerful sacred arts, but it's still powerful. Deals around 1/3 to 40% damage. Unblockable.  -Mainohana- Height: 159 cm Weight: 84 Kg Age: 21 Blood Type: O Speed:**** Power:*** Toughness:*** Throwing Power:**** Mainohana's Stage: Japan Hill Mainohana Notes: Sumo Wrestlers are praised in Japan...so it's no surprise to see that Mainohana possesses some great stats. Besides stats, his moves are decent and pretty effective. He's more of a throw orientated person, so stay close to an opponent and let them have it. One of his only special arts, the "Palm" linkable attacks, is very nice and deals great damage. Use it often and add some throws to make him rock & roll. Only weaknesses are the fact that he doesn't have a fireball and his sacred art can be annoying to pull off, albeit unblockable. In the N64 Flying Dragon (U.S. Ver), Mainohana is replaced with a cheap knockoff named Robonohana. \\Normal Arts// Sumo Thrust: Y (Distanced) Sumo Push: Y (Close) Sumo Squash: Y while in midair Squatting Sumo Thrust: Y while crouching Sumo Super Thrust: X (Distanced) Sumo Shove: X (Close) Sumo Swipe: X while in air Squatting Sumo Super Thrust: X while crouching *Note* Quick and clean attack. Shadow Thrust: B (Distanced) Twin Hand Chop: B (Close) *Sumo Squash is done with B in air as well.* Sumo Ground Swipe: B while crouching Shadow Force Palm: A (Distanced) Mega Chop: A (Close) Power Swipe: A while in air Leg Trip Swipe: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Palm Strikes: Press QRF + Y or X  Palm Storm: During Palm Strikes, quickly press QRF + Y or X  Twin Palm Strike: During Palm Storm, quickly press Y or X continuously  Blaster Clap: I can get it done with two QRF then A or B often, but that may not be correct. Help would be appreciated. \\Throws//  Sumo Throw: Get close and press X  +  Sumo Ground Shove: Get close and press A  +  +  Sumo Grand Slam: Get close and press HRBack + A \\SD Moves// Sumo Ground Shove: During SD, press X Sumo Grand Slam: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  Explosive Sumo Back Slam: When fatigued, Do two clockwise rotations then hit A when on the ground. Throwing range. (Done like Zangief's Piledriver). *Note* This is one stubborn as hell move to pull off if you don't get the hang of it. Done like Syoryu's move. This game just wasn't designed for such technical moves. I just found it easier to do on the right side of the screen. It also helps sometimes to keep rotating even after you hit A and you are close to them. *Description* Mainohana slaps the opponent to get them spinning. He waits for the right moment...then grabs them from behind and slams them ultra hard. Deals roughly 50% damage. Unblockable.  -RAIMA- Height: 170 cm Weight: 100 kg Age: 1 Blood Type: None Speed:***** Power:*** Tough:** Throwing Power:*** RAIMA's Stage: Japan Laboratory RAIMA Notes: Don't know what to say about RAIMA. It's a tricky robot fighter. Use it's counter moves in conjunction with ST's and SD's and maybe you'll infuriate some seasoned veteran fighters. I'm willing to say that it's an average character. It's sacred art is unblockable. Wiler is trying to find RAIMA. In the N64 Flying Dragon, they made RAIMA look more human. \\Normal Arts// Cyber Thrust: Y (Distanced) Cyber Slash: Y (Close) Cyber Chop: Y while in midair Low Cyber Thrust: Y while crouching Cyber Backhand: X (Distanced) Fierce Cyber Slash: X (Close) Fierce Cyber Chop: X while in midair Fierce Low Cyber Thrust: X while crouching Cyber Kick: B (Distanced) Cyber High Kick: B (Close) Cyber Knee: B while in midair *Note* Becomes Cyber Air Kick if you jump back and forth. Low Cyber Kick: B while crouching Cyber Smash Kick: A (Distanced) *Note* I found it funny how RAIMA moves with this attack but it's shadow doesn't. Fierce Cyber Knee: A (Close) Cyber Foot Thrust: A while in midair *Note* becomes Cyber Flying Kick if you jump back and forth. Cyber Sweep: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Wind Cutter: QRBack + Y or X *Note* Flies faster with X. If you are too close, this attack will go thru the opponent.  Blaster Shock: Seems to work easily as two QRF motions + Y or X *Note* Both buttons knock down the opponent.  +  Counter Warp Away: HRBack + B or A *Note* This is a counter move. For it to activate, RAIMA must be hit during it's "Stone" pose. It teleports further away if done with A, but the time it keeps it's stone pose is shorter. +  +  Counter Warp Behind: HRF + B or A *Note* Another counter...this time, it teleports behind them and you can quickly attack them. Goes slightly further if you press A. *Banishing Blade: It's an annoying move the CPU constantly uses. It dashes with its sword. Help would be appreciated. \\Throws//  Cyber Slam: Get close and hit X! \\SD Moves// Cyber Slam: During SD, press X  +  Rough Divide: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  OmniFlash: When fatigued, do two counterclockwise motions and hit X on the ground. *Note* Very short range attack. *Description* A bolt of powerful lightning strikes RAIMA when it invokes a mystic spell. Not much to say here. It's just a sacred art. Deals 50% damage and it's unblockable.  -Yuuka- Height: 162 cm Weight: 48 kg Age: 26 Blood Type: A Speed:*** Power:* Toughness:* Throwing Power:***** Yuuka's Stage: Kurenai Doujoh Yuuka Notes: Yuuka Notes: Yuuka's stage, the Doujoh at Kurenai, has one of the coolest BGM's out of all the stages. I'd rank it 3rd...even still, the music isn't all too good...Oh well...it's about time I talked about Yuuka. If you notice above, she has some horrible power and toughness ratings. Even her throws aren't all that good despite what you might think. She is meant to be a counteractive fighter in the fact that she grabs air attacks and creates traps. She is the woman who teaches japanese gamers how to play SD Hiryu no Ken. Of course, that means nothing to the american audience right? That's where I come in. I don't see how she can teach anyone anything. She sucks bad. She has got to be one of the worst characters in this game ranking with people like Uruka and maybe Testuo. The only decent things about Yuuka are her stage, her stage's BGM, and the fact that she is the only woman sexy enough to tell you her weight in this game. If you watch the CPU use her, she tends to be very cheap and annoying with constant throws and traps. She is a MUCH cooler fighter in the N64 Flying Dragon (in the U.S.). I suppose if you master the hidden potential she has and bring out the inner "cheapskate" behind her pretty and delicate appearance, you can torture people and send them straight to oblivion. Not for everyone. As for her story, have no idea. In the N64 game, she seems to have a thing going on for Ryuhi and Hayato...as to what the "thing" is, it's not too clear, though one can assume that she has a crush on them. \\Normal Arts// Karate Chop: Y (Distanced) Backhand: Y (Close) Aerial Strike: Y while in midair Crouching Backhand: Y while crouching Smashing Chop: X (Distanced) Deadly Backhand: X (Close) Aerial Punishment: X while in midair Crescent Wave: X while crouching Middle Earth Kick: B (Distanced) Lower Earth Kick: B (Close) Heavenly Arrow: B while in air Silent Low: B while crouching Forceful Middle: A (Distanced) Tempest Wave: A (Close) *Note* Sweeps opponent. Heaven's Messenger: A while in air Full Circle: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Sacred Wind: QRBack + Y or X *Note* Pretty slow, but it's surprisingly effective due to how the wind seems to shift in and out of view. It at least seems effective against the CPU, but any novice gamer can (or should) see from a mile away.  +  Hidden Trap: Charge Back for 1 second then hit F + Y or X *Note* It's as it's name implies. It's a trap. The opponent must stand on the area where the wind shoots up. If they are standing there, they get flung into the air. It's usefulness varies. The CPU makes good use of this ability.  +  +  Air Catcher: QRBack + B or A *Note* Another trap type technique. Yuuka will catch opponents that try to jump and attack her. She will slam them on the ground. This move isn't effective against air special arts like Suzaku's air fireball. Another move that the CPU has mastered to a tee. The easiest of her moves to master IMO. It's rather cheap actually. \\Throws// Twister: Get close and hit X  +  +  Roller Coaster: Get close and hit A \\SD Moves// Twister: During SD, press X  Arm Breaker: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  +  =  Heaven Drop: When fatigued, do two counter clockwise motions and hit X! *Note* This move is a throw so jump-in close to the opponent. *Description* Yuuka uses the power of the wind to ascend to the heavens and with the opponent in her arms, they crash into the ground together...And no, Yuuka is NOT suicidal. She lands on top and uses her foe as the cushion. Deals 50% damage of absolute candy crunchy goodness.  -R. Powers- Height: 209cm Weight: 132kg Age: 32 Blood Type: O Speed:** Power:***** Toughness:***** Throwing Power:***** R. Powers' Stage: U.S.A CWF Ring R. Powers' Notes: This guy lacks a projectile. This guy is big. This guy is slow...but this guy is also almighty. The only character with three out of four stats being max and his lowest stat being a two (NOT A ONE MIND YOU!) and he is extremely good. Powers can kill an opponent so fast that they are dead and realize they are dead ten seconds afterwards. His normal throws can destroy opponents easily and I won't even mention his sacred art when linked with an attack. Link fierce punch or kick with "Showtime!!" and you take over 1/2 of most opponent's life gauge. Have fun crushing the competition. I don't really know what he has to do with the story, though. In the N64 game, he comes off as a braggart (For good reason) so I'll assume he just wants to prove that he's the strongest creature alive. \\Normal Arts// Big Chop: Y (Distanced and Close) Colossus Hammer: Y while jumping in place *Note* Will become Zeus Crush if you jump back and forth One-Ton Fist: Y while crouching Cannon Fist: X (Distanced) Falling Mountain: X (Close) Colossus Pounder: X while jumping in place *Note* Will become Zeus Breaker if you jump back and forth Megaton Fist: X while crouching Mega Kick: B (Distanced) Anvil Kick: B (Close) Golem Kick: B while in midair Big Crouching Kick: B while crouching Mega Power Kick: A (Distanced) Grand Knee: A (Close) Giga Golem Kick: A while in midair Big Huge Crouching Kick: A while crouching \\Special Arts// *Powers has no real special arts, but throws galore!* \\Throws//  Body Slam: Charge away for a second then press F/towards + A or B *Note* Goes further with A  +  One Hand Fling: Get close and hit X  +  Deadly Throw: Get close and hit A  +  Super Slammer: Get in front of opponent, crouch, and hit X while crouching.  +  Showtime!!: Rotate counterclockwise and hit X when you are on the ground. *Note* Get close to the enemy! Linkable with fierce punch for terrifying devastation! \\SD Moves// Deadly Throw: During SD, press X  Fearful Lariat: During SD, press HRF + X \\Sacred Art//  +  =  Fatal Slam: When fatigued (around 1/5 life), perform HRF x2 + X while close to an opponent. *Description* Throws the opponent in the air and catches them to perform a seriously deadly slam. Deals around 50% damage.  -Suzaku- Height:180 cm Weight: 75 kg Age: ? (Yes, they don't know) Blood Type:B Speed:*** Power:**** Toughness:*** Throwing Power:*** Suzaku Stage: None (He fights on whoever's stage you fought on last) Suzaku Notes: Suzaku is a fast deadly character despite his speed stat. Being the mighty villain, Suzaku is BAD. Evil Betty bad? Oh yeah! He's bad. That's all I know and that's all you need to know. His air fireball is quite useful and his ground fireball is deadly at close range. He is momentarily invincible during his Soaring Phoenix attack and his Phoenix Drop is very powerful. Nuff said. \\Normal Arts// Demon Touch: Y (distanced) Death Thrust: Y (Close) Phoenix Hand: Y while in air Deadly Low: Y while crouching Demon Stab: X (Distanced) Demon Elbow: X (Close) Phoenix Blow: X while in air Doomsday Low: X while crouching Painbringer: B (Distanced) Devil Scratch: B (Close) Dark Force: B while in air Demon Kick: B while crouching Demonic High: A (Distanced) The Suffering: A (Close) Chaos Bringer: A while in air Phoenix Sweep: A while crouching \\Special Arts//  Burning Arrow: QRF x2 + Y or X Note: Very dangerous if used close to an opponent. This move can hit around 5 times when close.  Arrow of Death: QRF + Y or X while in air Note: Flies faster and farther with X  Soaring Phoenix: (This one is tricky) Rotate from Back to Up quickly and hit B or A. Something like this... Back,DBack,D,DForward,ForwardUpForward,UP. Hope this helps... *Note* Fly farther with A.  +  +  Phoenix Drop: You and the opponent must both be airborne for this to work. Listen carefully...while you are both in air, press either A or X. If this air attack successfully HITS the opponent, immediately press QRF + A. If done right, after the air hit, Suzaku will grab the opponent in air and drop the enemy. *Note* Deadly attack! Deals great damage! \\Throws//  Face Plant: Get Close and Hit X! \\SD Moves//  Serpent's Tongue: During SD, press X.  +  +  +  +  +  +  +  +  Bloody Calamity: During SD, do a HRF + X! *Note*SWEET COMBO! Deals good damage! \\Sacred Art//  +  +  +  +  Phoenix Wave: When fatigued, Charge back for 1 second and then rotate from back to Up (Back,DBack,D,DF,F,FUp,Up) and Hit X! *Description* This attack is relatively easy to pull off once you grasp the concept. The problem is that it's one of the SLOWEST ATTACKS IN THE GAME! Suzaku becomes enraged and sends a wave of flame blasts at the opponent...he shoots around five air fire balls. If someone gets hit by all five...this sacred art is one of the most powerful attacks in the game next to Uruka and Daddy's sacred art. Deals up to 69% damage to a foe. If used properly, it can keep enemies at bay because the wave travels the ground and gives good distance. ---.:Combos:.--- There are combos and some people have hidden combos. Here are some combos for each character. The only combos with images are the combos that bring up a special message. Ex: Ryu Souga. Combos labeled "Hidden" that incorporate a Sacred Art do not count. *Note* Controls at default with character on left side of the screen. This is a section of pre-made combos and you can discover many on your own. Also, these combos may vary depending on the height, width, and toughness of the opponent. ---Ryuhi--- + + =  *Ryu Souga* (Hidden) Get close and hit X. When hit connects, press Up and immediately execute Heading for the Sky with the B button. Opponent should become dazed. Up to five hits. -Five Hits- Get close and hit X. When hit connects, press Up and immediately execute Thrust Kick with the B button. Immediately execute Heading for the Sky with B button after that. -Four Hits- Jump in deep and hit X while in air. As soon as you you touch the ground press X and hit Up when the hit connects. Execute Thrust Kick with the A button. -Three Hits, Corner combo- Execute Kinryuha with A or B. Execute Heading for the Sky after that with A or B. ---Hayato---  +  +  =  *Youenmu* (Hidden) Simply get close and hit X then immediately cancel with Spiral Tempest Rush with the Y button. This will create Youenmu as is, but you can add Wheel of the Blue Flame with B button to finish the combo. If the opponent is near the corner, you can add a light punch then cancel with Wheel of the Blue Flame with B button. You may even add another Spiral Tempest Rush with Y button if you are quick after executing the first one. Up to 7 or 8 hits. *Banishment* (Hidden) You must be fatigued. Simply get close and hit A for 2 hits and cancel with Return to the Void. It doesn't say it's a combo, but it is. -Four Hits- Jump in deep and hit A. Hit A again on ground for 2 hits and cancel With Wheel of the Blue Flame with B button. -Seven Hits, Corner combo- Jump towards the opponent and while in air, charge back. When you land In front of the opponent, Release back and press F + Y to shoot Hayato's Firebird Wave. After the Firebird Wave, hit light punch and immediately cancel and execute Spiral Tempest Rush with the Y button. Hit light punch again and cancel with Wheel of the Blue Flame with B button. -Three Hits- Simply Hit A when close to the enemy for 2 hits and execute Spiral Tempest Rush with the X button. ---Minmin---  +  +  =  *Triple Sickle* (Hidden) Jump in deep with a fierce kick with A button.

In reviews and such, I sometimes refer to myself in 3rd person. EkaSwede of GameFAQs: He was a HUGE help to finding many missing moves in this guide as well as discovering some hidden combos. We talked quite a bit about this game. You can get a nearly perfect guide now when you read the text version of this FAQ...or as perfect a guide as one could hope for for such an obscure game, lol. hiro1112: For using his good skills to produce a couple of codes for me. GameFAQs: For letting me put up this FAQ originally, though I now have the ability to do such myself. Answers.com: For release date information. Culture Brain: Like I said somewhere else in this FAQ, SD Hiryu no Ken is not a great game or anything, but I'm somewhat glad to play another game that isn't ever mentioned. Thanks. More unknown games should have FAQs. ---.:Submitting help for this FAQ:.--- This FAQ was almost a solo effort. That's not good. I like when people participate. Therefore, to fill the empty void in my special thanks section as well as in my heart, I am going to attempt to provide ways in which you can contact me so that we may converse on certain matters. Don't be shy...contribute anything that isn't here already or something that should be fixed! Because too many people send spam emails and junk emails (Even several GameFAQs users), I don't feel comfortable leaving my NORMAL email address. However, you may drop a dime in the SNES board, and now that I actually DO have internet, I should answer it fairly quick (Give me three days at the most). You can also hit me up at my alternate email account: worldofgaming@yahoo.com and I will get back with you. Post a topic specifically aimed at me, Vyse the determined, vtd, Vyse, cooldude...etc. (I am called many things). Perhaps something like "Question concerning Vyse" or "Hey stud..." or "Hey Vyse the Stupid!!". I should answer momentarily. I appreciate it. Sorry to put people through the trouble, but my computer runs slow enough as it is. I don't need that crap. You can also find me on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/user/Vysethedetermined2 There's lot of cool stuff going on in my channel, so if you like what you see, comment, favorite, and subscribe. For those curious, I disable ratings to avoid that whole vote-bot crap. You may leave "reactions" though. Copyright 2004-2011 by "Vyse the determined" . Do not copy without my consent.
