THROW TECHNIQUES
=========================================================================

J: Shime-age
E: Strangle Lift
M: B / F + C button (near)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Bun-nage
E: (see Comments)
M: B / F + D button (near)
C: "'Bun' is somewhat an adjective that means something like 'get the
f*ck outta here'. It empasizes 'Nage' and thus makes it stronger."
Since 'nage' means 'throw', interpret this as you will.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Bussashi

M: F + A button
H: Weak 2
D: Ryuji attacks with a downward finger rake.
C: This move acts as an overhead. As for the name, 'sashi' means 'poke'
and 'butsu' emphasizes 'sashi' (similar to 'Bun Nage').

DEADLY TECHNIQUES (SPECIAL MOVES)
=========================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Hebi-Tsukai (Joudan)
E: Snake Tamer (Upper Level)
M: QCB + A button
H: Weak 2
D: Ryuji takes his hand out of his pocket and jerks it upward into the
air so fast that it is only a blur.
C: You can delay this attack by holding down the A button. While
delaying it, you can use 'Hebi Damashi'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Hebi-Tsukai (Chudan)
E: Snake Tamer (Middle Level)
M: QCB + B button
H: Weak 2
D: Ryuji takes his hand out of his pocket and jerks it forward so fast
that it is only a blur.
C: You can delay this attack by holding down the B button. While
delaying it, you can use 'Hebi Damashi'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Hebi-Tsukai (Gedan)
E: Snake Tamer (Lower Level)
M: QCB + C button
H: Strong 2
D: Ryuji takes his hand out of his pocket and jerks it downwards towards
the ground so fast that it is only a blur.
C: You can delay this attack by holding down the C button. While
delaying it, you can use 'Hebi Damashi'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Hebi Damashi
E: Snake Trick
M: Press D button
H: Strong 0
D: When delaying the 'Hebi-Tsukai', Ryuji will swing his arm back and
forth. Performing this move makes him stop and put his hand back
in his pocket.
C: This move is used to cancel the 'Hebi-Tsukai' attack when you don't
want to use it. You can use the 'Hebi-Tsukai' repeatedly and then
cancel it with this move to increase your Power Gauge rapidly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Dai Hebi
E: Great Snake
M: Delay Hebi-Tsukai for as long as possible, then release the button
used.
H: Weak 2, Strong 2
D: (Description for any above Hebi-Tsukai).
C: When you delay a Hebi-Tsukai, it becomes more powerful. You can use
Ryuji's mutterings of 'Ikuzo!' to tell each time the move's power
increases. At it's maximum power (a few seconds after the loudest
'Ikuzo!' it does damage comparable to a DM. I believe that
performing a maximum power version when you have a full Power Gauge
may have an additional effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Bai Gaeshi (Kyushu)
E: Double Return (Absorb)
M: QCF + A
H: Weak 1 (from up close)
D: Ryuji lifts up his arms before him and then brings the back down.
While they're raised, any projectile thrown at him is absorbed
harmlessly.
C: You can use the A button to keep Ryuji holding up his arms for a
little longer than normally. When Ryuji absorbs a projectile, he
gains Power Gauge energy equal to the amount of damage the attack
would have caused had it hit. The Bai Gaeshi (Kyushu) will absorb
these projectile attacks:

D: Ryuji grabs his challenger, performs a double-hit uppercut on them,
then stands there laughing until they are about to fall down to the
ground. He grabs them and hurls them into the floor, then attacks
them in one of eight different ways depending on how many times
Punch was pressed during the move (see Comments).
C: The charts below show the names of each level of the Drill. Also
shown are the number of times you need to press Punch in order to
get the desired level, and how many hits each level inflicts.
Shown last is 'Level', which lists which level is the most damaging.
While the DM Drill goes in order (1 is the worst, 4 is the best in
terms of causing damage), the SDM Drill's weakest level is 3, and
it's most damaging level is 2.
