From now on, all these kinds of moves will have only Slash or Kick instead of A/B/C/D. So when Slash is used, it means A or B or AB will produce the same move but with different damage or effect. Applicable on Kick as well. _Charlotte_ *Swings* -Standing and Crouching Far- A and B -- Thrust -Standing and Crouching Close- A -- Bell Punch B -- Double Bell Punch -Jump- A and B -- Down Thrust *Kicks* -Stand- C and D -- Hopping Shoulder Rush -Crouch- C and D -- Crouch Kick -Jump- C -- Knee Thrust D -- Flying Low Kick ,_ Special Moves ____________________________________________________, I / | \ Slash Power Gradation I I O O O Rising epee-wave wall I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I Tap Slash Repeatedly Splash Fount I I Charging rapid epee thrusts I I____________________________________________________________________I ,_ Throws ___________________________________________________________, I -O AB or B or D "Fall back" toss I I____________________________________________________________________I ,_ Power Strikes ____________________________________________________, I (far) AB - Triangle Slash I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (close) AB - Short-Range Triangle Slash I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (crouch) AB - Small Triangle Slash (Good air defense) I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (jump) AB - Aerial Triangle Slash (Powerful wide-area attack) I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I CD - Hopping Shoulder Rush (Good air defense) I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (crouch) CD - Roundhouse Sweep I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (jump) CD - Flying Low Kick I I____________________________________________________________________I ** Note that Charlotte's Triangle Slashes are capable of hitting 2 ** ** times at close range. ** _Earthquake_ *Swings* -Stand and Crouch- A and B -- Swing Gama Downward -Jump- A and B -- Swing Gama Downward *Kicks* -Stand and Crouch- C and D -- Side Kick -Jump- C and D -- Side Kick ,_ Special Moves ____________________________________________________, I (jump) | + CD Repeatedly Fat Bound I I O Bouncing butt attack I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I Tap Slash Repeatedly Fat Chainsaw I I Spinning blade attack I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (jump against the edge of the screen) I I then push joystick away from edge I I O- or -O Triangle Jump I I____________________________________________________________________I ,_ Throws ___________________________________________________________, I -- O B or D Overhead Toss I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I -- O CD He farts in your face (look at I I the relief on his face afterwards)I I____________________________________________________________________I ,_ Power Strikes ____________________________________________________, I AB - Gama launches out at a 30-degree downward angle I I (2-hit ability) I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (crouch) AB - Gama launches out along the ground (2-hit ability) I I Will hit low I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (jump close or back) AB - Flying Belly Attack I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (jump other) AB - Gama launches out at a 30-degree angle I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I CD - Side kick I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (crouch) CD - High side kick I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I (jump) CD - Butt bomb I I____________________________________________________________________I _Galford_ *Swings* -Far- A -- Side Slash B -- Step and Down Slash -Close- A and B -- One-Handed Down Slash -Crouch- A and B -- One-Handed Down Slash -Jump- A -- Down Slash B -- Side Slash *Kicks* -Stand- C and D -- High Kick -Crouch- C and D -- Crouch Kick -Jump- C and D -- Side Kick ,_ Special Moves ____________________________________________________, I | \ -O Slash Plasma Blade I I O O Twin blades of lightning I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I | / O- Slash Rush Dog I I O O Rush Dog can be counter-acted by I I simply running towards the dog I I (Yes, I tried it.
