When it was first released, people complained it was slow, tedious, had lousy controls, and too little moves. Well okay, it is slow, but in a realistic sorta way - the pacing of the game is pretty much in sync with a typical wrestling match. Only one-on-one? Well, that's a fair complain, but hey, you can always look forward to the sequel, and play this to past time or something. Lousy controls? It certainly takes time to master the intricacies of the two control systems, which vary quite drastically. But once mastered, you'll be hammer throwing, suplexing and powerbombing with the best of 'em! And too little moves? The reviewers obviously haven't played the game much, have they? This movelist itself is proof that there's plenty of unique moves for every wrestler. Heck, everytime I play I'm discovering new moves, so I figured that I'll compile what I know into this handy little movelist. Just a little disclaimer before I start. First of all, I don't know all that much about Japanese Wrestling. The place I live in just can't get easy access to these sorta things. Also, I really have no idea what are the real names of some of the moves here - all the move names are either gleamed from previous wrestling games or just sensibly made up by myself. Okay, now we're through all that, let's begin. ___________________________________________________________________________ /___________________________General_Controls_______________________________/ The game utilizes two very different control systems, which I will explain in detail here. The first system is the dual analog system, which lets you control your wrestler pretty much using only the two analog sticks (and the buttons R3 and L3 under them). The other one is the digital pad setup, which utilizes the pad buttons. This setup uses the pressure sense that each button on a Dualshock2 pad, which is easier to control, at least in my opinion. Here are the basics of each setup. Dual-Analog =========== Direction Pad - Moves camera angle Face Buttons - Taunts L1,R1,L2,R2 - Crowd Chants Left Analog - Moves wrestler Right Analog - For Attacking L3, R3 - Press together for grappling Select Button - Screenshot Capture Start Button - Pause Screen Digital Pad =========== Direction Pad - Moves wrestler [] Button - Grappling >< Button - For grapple maneuvers () Button - Irish Whip / Hammer throw maneuvers/\ Button - Pins opponent L1,R1,L2,R2 - Crowd ChantsLeft Analog - Moves camera angle Right Analog - TauntsL3, R3 - Not used Select Button - Screenshot CaptureStart Button - Pause Screen Striking - To perform striking moves such as punches, kicks,chops and so on you use the left analog stick in the dual-analog setup and >< Button in Digital Pad Setup. There are three levelsof attacks, which I will call Light, Medium and Strong Strikes. Light strikes do little damage but are fast, strong strikes do nasty damage but are slow, and medium strikes are somewhere in between. For the dual-analog setup, tap the left stick towards the opponent once to perform a light strike; tap the left stick towards the opponent twice fast to perform a medium strike, finally press the left stick towards the opponent then quickly circle it to perform a strong strike. For digital pad setup, faceyour opponent then tap >< once for a light strike, tap >< twice fast for a medium strike, and finally press and hold down >< to perform a strong strike.Different Strikes - If you are a little away from grappling range (where both of your wrestlers will sort of hunch down a little) you will run towards you opponent before executing the strike. And it will produce a different type of strike as well. Also, when your opponent is groggy (ie. can only shuffle around slowly and perform a light strike only) your strikes will be a little different also. Same goes for when your opponent is on one knee. Then finallythere are rope strikes, where you first run to the ropes then only towards your opponent for the strike. These are performed almostthe same as normal strikes, except in analog mode you must tap AWAY from your opponent; and in digital mode you must face away from your opponent then press ><. Grappling - There are also three levels of grappling in this game, which I will call light, medium or strong grapples. To perform these,simply grab your opponent first - using R3 + L3 for analog mode and [] for digital mode. Then, just like in striking - in analog modesingle tap, double tap and tap and circle the left stick will produce light, medium and strong grapples respectively; in digital modetap >< once, twice or hold down to get the same result. Different Grapples - You will produce different grapples if your opponent is groggy or on one feet when you grapple them. You will perform back grapples if you grapple your opponent while his backis turned to you. Back grapples will also change whether your opponent is groggy or not. You can also back grapple an opponent on one knee, and that will produce different grapples as well.Holding On - Once you grab your opponent, you don't need to just slam him straight away. Pressing the direction away from him let's you drag him by the hair around the ring. pressing in any other direction lets you walk behind him to initial a back grapple. You can also release your hold by simply pressing the grab command again. If you hold and opponent while he's on one knee, pressing away from him will let you lift him up into standing grapple position. Incidentally, if this occurs, he will be considered to be in groggy state, and so this is a good maneuver if you wantto him a strong groggy grapple, which is almost always your wrestler's finisher.Simultaneous Grapple - If both you and your opponent grapple at the same time, you will get into a grapple lock. Depending on who gets the upper hand first, the following may occur - wrestler A puts on a headlock, wrestler B reverses into a backdrop, (optional)wrestler A reverses backdrop. Another situation that may occur - wrestler A puts on a headlock, wrestler A puts on a head and arm lock,wrestler B reverses into a back body drop. As you can see, the obvious advantage is wrestler B - so let your opponent get the headlock on first.Irish Whip/Hammer Throw Maneuvers - After you grapple your opponent, you might want to hurl him to the ropes then attack him as he is coming back from them with either grapples or strikes. In analog mode, you can do so by performing the same grapple attacks, except tapping in the direction AWAY from your opponent instead of towards them. In digital mode, do the same as normal grappling except replace >< button with () button. Light and medium attacks usually produce strikes, and strong attacks usually produce running counter grapples. The moveswill differ if the opponent is groggy or on one knee.Ground Techniques - These are done exactly the same way as strikes, except the opponent is down on the ground. There are ridiculous amount of variations you can perform depending on your position in regards to your opponent. You will produce different attacks if you are a) near his head, b) near his arms (either side), c) near the sides of his legs (either side), d) near the ends of his feet, e) a little away from his upper body, f) a little away from his lower body. And it also changes whether your opponent facing up or face first on the mat. So that's... err... twelve variations. Phew.Light attacks are usually stomps, which are pretty much the same in any position. Medium and strong attacks are usually grapples, and these vary with all positions. If you are a little away from the body, medium or strong attacks will usually be running splashesor elbow drops and the like. If you want to pick him up, use the grab command (L3+R3 in analog, [] in digital) and you will lift him up to one knee position.Down, Face Down - Hard pressed to get your opponent face down on the mat? Tigermuppercut has an idea - knock your opponent downand repeately stomp - after a while he'll turn to face down. Also,certain moves level the guy face down. A good example is Masahiro Chono's big boot to the face - when your opponent is weakened he usually goes down and stays face down - a perfect setup for his Cross STF. Another good method is attack your opponent's back when he's on one knee - though he will turn to face up quickly if not seriously injured.Turnbuckle Techniques - These occur when your opponent is tangled up at a turnbuckle. To do that you can simply hammer him until he falls onto one, or simply grapple him when your own wrestler's back is to the turnbuckle then tap the left stick towards the turnbuckle (analog mode) or press () (digital mode). If the opponent is groggy when you do so the moves might change. To perform attacks at the tangled opponent, simply perform a strike towards them (do not grapple them). Note that there are variations here depending on your distance from your tangled opponent. The three variations are: - near (right at your opponent), far (you're somewhere at the center of the ring), and very far (you're at the furthest turnbuckle from youropponent). Usually light and medium gives running strikes that do not vary at all with distance. However, performing a strong attack does. For example, if you hit a strong turnbuckle attack with Tadao Yasuda, he performs a superplex when near, a double arm suplex when far, and a running splash when very far. Of course, this will varywith other wrestlers. Incidentally, the best way to perform a very far turnbuckle attack is to get an opponent to the turnbuckle, then grapple and whip him to the furthest turnbuckle on the other side.Other turnbuckle techniques - When you grapple and opponent and your back is turned to the turnbuckle, simply tapping the analog once towards the turnbuckle (analog mode) or tapping () once (digital mode)will just send your opponent into the turnbuckle. However, you can try double tapping or circling towards (analog mode) / holding down ()(digital mode) and your wrestler will whip your opponent to the turnbuckle and immediately follow with a strike or grapple. These strikes are usually the same as the turnbuckle techniques described above, but some do have different moves. And yes, your distance from the turnbuckle behind you also has an effect.Aerial Techniques - To mount the turnbuckle then perform a jumping attack off it, go near the turnbuckle, and press in its direction thendo the usual light, medium or strong command. You can also run up to the turnbuckle and climb it, and this might give different attacks as well. To do so just be a little bit away from the turnbuckle, then face it and do the usual commands. The moves will change depending on whether your opponent is standing or lying down on the ground."Splash Position" - One of the hardest move to perform is perhaps what I call the "Splash Position" aerial attack. Here, you must position your opponent a little away from a turnbuckle. He must be lying down, face up, and his feet or head must not be facing the turnbuckle. Then walk (or in one case, run) to the turnbuckle, and if you did it rightyour wrestler will hit his splash position aerial attack. You'll know that you've got him in the right position when your grounded opponent sorta readjusts himself a little bit. Outside - You can go outside by being right by the ropes, then pressing in the direction towards the ropes and tap the left stick towards the outside (analog) or simply press >< (digital). You can also throw youropponent out by tapping away from him while your back is to the ropes.Tension - If you look at the main screen, just below the wrestler's names are three bars. These represent your tension level. You start at the lowest and shortest bar (0% tension), and as you get attackedyou will progress up to the second bar (51% tension) and finally to the top bar (101% tension). Tension produces a number of different effects on the match. It is harder to get out of a submission at higher tensions, and reversals are also harder to perform. However,at higher tension your wrestler also get some seriously punishing new grapples or strikes that replaces some of his grapples. Reversals - Certain moves can be reversed. To perform a reversal, simply circle your left stick (analog mode) or tap >< like a madman while circling the direction pad (digital mode) and if you're lucky you will reverse it. Reversals depend on your tension level, how strong or weak you are at the moment and whether a crowd rush is on (see below). Pins - To pin your opponent, you must be in the position where you are on either sides of the fallen opponent, not at his head or feet.To pin in analog mode you must be ABOVE his body, then press both sticks down (as in point them down, not pressing R3 or L3), then hold the left stick in the down position to keep the pin on. To pin in digital mode you can be in any position, then press and hold down the /\ button. This also goes for moves that end with a pin.Submissions - Just so you know, in order to keep a submission locked on, you must hold down the left stick (analog mode) or hold down ><(digital mode). Releasing these will let you voluntarily release the hold (and you will want to do that if the opponent is near the ropesand rope breaks are on). If you are in a submission, rapidly circle the left stick (analog mode) or tap >< while circling your directionpad (digital mode) to break yourself out of it. How successful you are here depends on how fatigued you are, what's your tension level, and if a crowd rush is on for you. Linking moves - Certain moves can be linked together or changed in midst of the attack with the right command. To do so, after performing the first move, circling the left stick (analog mode)or circle the direction pad (digital mode) to link into the other move or change the move a little. The best example of a linked move is a snapmare, which everyone has as his light grapple on a non-groggy standing opponent. After you execute the snapmare, and he's about to slam his opponent down, perform the link command and he'll add a kick to the back of his head. An example of a move that will change is Tatsuhito Tokaiwa's finisher the triple powerbomb (strong grapple on groggy standing opponent). Perform the move normally to get a triple powerbomb with a pin at the end. Add the link command sometime before his second powerbomb and he will replace his third powerbomb with a death valley driver.Taunts - You can only do taunts if your opponent is either down on the ground, outside, or breathing hard on one knee. In analog modetaunts are done with the face buttons ([], ><, (),/\) and in digital mode they are done with the right analog stick (four directions).Crowd Reactions - Hitting the shoulder buttons (both control setups)causes the crowd to encourage you (left shoulder buttons) or insult your opponent (right shoulder buttons). They also do that on their own randomly as well. If you get enough crowd support, then you get what is called a crowd rush - the millions of your fans are chanting your name! Your name will then by flashing, and in this case, youget out of submission holds faster, kick out of pins easier and also reversals can be done easier. If your opponent has a crowd rush, thenhit the right shoulder buttons like hell to end it faster. Also, if you are insulted by the crowd (ie. your opponent pressed the rightshoulder buttons) your tension will increase after a while.Groggy - When you get groggied by an opponent, you'll definitely know it - your movement speed will be halved, and all you can do is a light strike (not even a grapple). When this occurs, I suggestthat you hit your light strike like crazy and hope for the best. If you're a little far away, you can try running around the ring and wait till your grogginess (is there even such a word?) wears out - this usually doesn't work at higher difficulty levels though.Bleeding - If you or your opponent get knocked in the noggin one to many times, you might start bleeding. If this happens to youropponent, a nasty tactic is to keep focusing on his head with all the attacks that does damage to his head. Eventually, he might bleed even more, and the referee will call off the match in favor of you. Wanna do a groggy? - The best way, in my opinion, to perform a groggy grapple attack is to first hit a snapmare (light grapple, non-groggyopponent, everyone has it). Then pick him up with grapple (L3+R3 in analog, [] in digital). He will be on one knee, nice for those whosefinishers are done in this position. Otherwise, press the direction away from him to lift him up to standing position - in this position he's always considered groggy, so you can straight away hit your strongest groggy attacks, which in most cases is usually your wrestler's finisher. So if you want to do your finisher as the second move of the match, you can! Just be careful of your opponent countering out of it. A little bit of new info here - want to do a groggy turnbuckle grapple? Moves will differ when you whip your opponent to the turnbuckle while he's groggy or not. An easy way to make a non-groggy opponent at the turnbuckle groggy is just give himone quick slap (light strike) then immediately grapple - he will be considered groggy. This trick only works at the turnbuckle and nowhereelse, by the way.Basic Moves - These moves are available to most of the wrestlers. Unless replaced with some other move mentioned in the movelist, these are the moves your wrestler always has. These are all non-groggy moves. Groggy moves are mostly different so they aren't listed here, but there are instances where many wrestlers have the same groggy moves (eg. most wrestlers have a German Suplex as their strong back groggy grapple). Irish whip type attacks also differ a fair bit between wrestlers so they aren't listed here either.Punch - Near/far standing opponent, light strike Kick - Near/far standing opponent, medium strikeChop - Near standing opponent, strong strike Back Kick - Back of standing opponent, strong strikeShoulder Charge - Far standing opponent, strong strike Snapmare - Light grapple on standing opponent Snapmare Back Kick - Link command to SnapmareFront/Back Strike - Medium grapple on standing opponent Suplex or Snap Suplex - Strong grapple on standing opponentBack Drop - Light back grapple on standing opponent Back Lock - Medium back grapple on standing opponentSchool Boy - Strong back grapple on standing opponent Superplex - Near strong turnbuckle attack on normal opponentJumping Axehandle - Light/medium aerial attack on standing opponent Double Dropkick - Strong aerial attack on standing opponentChoke Hold - Strong back grapple on opponent on one knee Stomp - Light ground attack, face up in any position except near headBack Stomp - Light/medium/strong ground attack, face down, any position Scissor Head Lock - Light ground attack, near head, face upChoke Hold - Medium ground attack, near head, face up Head Figure Four - Strong ground attack, near head, face upShort Arm Scissor - Medium ground attack, sides of arms, face up Armbar - Strong ground attack, sides of arms, face upLeg Grapvine - Medium ground attack, sides of feet, face up Half Boston Crab - Strong ground attack, sides of feet, face upLeg Lock - Medium ground attack, near feet, face up Boston Crab - Strong ground attack, near feet, face upCamel Clutch - Strong ground attack, near sides of arms, face down ___________________________________________________________________________ /__________________________Wrestler_Movelists______________________________/First of all, this is not a complete movelist. Most wrestlers have the exact same moves in many instances, so what I'm listing here are movesthat are that wrestler's finisher, specialty, or just moves that look cool and not everyone has. The following list is in alphabetical order.Of course, it's probably not complete, so if you've found a neat move that I should add to this list, do e-mail me at jiyau@yahoo.com. Also, I do not know the exact names of these moves, so if someone is willing to enlighten me on what the move's real name is I'd be happy to rename it. If the move has (51%) next to it, it means that it can only be done when your tension is at second bar or higher, and this move will replace whatever move that is in that command before. And if the move has (101%) next to it, then you must be at maximum tension to perform the move (top bar flashing). If there's nothing noted, then it can be done at zero tension (lowest bar) though the move may be replaced at higher tension.Moved marked with (F) denotes the wrestler's finishers/favorite arts.

Not keeping it down results in a normal Dragon Suplex pin. As far as I can tell, this is the only Dragon Suplex that actually does that, so that's why I've giving it a unique name.Kendo KaShin ============Twisting Neckbreaker - Strong grapple on normal standing opponent (F) Standing Armbar Lock - Strong grapple on groggy standing opponent (51%)Surfboard Stretch - Strong ground attack, near feet, face up Top Rope Armbar - Near strong turnbuckle attack (51%)Face Stretch - Near medium turnbuckle attack on normal opponent Kensuke Sasaki ==============Powerbomb - Light grapple on groggy standing opponent Powerbomb Pin - Strong grapple on opponent on one knee(F) Northern Lights Driver - Strong grapple on groggy standing opponent Dragon Screw - Strong grapple on groggy standing opponent (101%)Dragon Screw Lift into Pin - Light grapple on groggy opponent (51%)High Angle Backdrop - Medium back grapple on opponent on one knee Leg Scissor Alpha - Strong ground attack, near head, face upSharpshooter - Strong ground attack, near feet, face up (51%)Ground Ankle Lock - Medium ground attack, sides of feet, face up Reversed Leg Lock - Strong ground attack, sides of feet, face up (51%)Facecrusher - Very far strong turnbuckle attack Top Rope Belly to Belly - Near strong turnbuckle attackKohji Kanemoto ==============Falcon Arrow - Strong grapple on groggy standing opponent Front Slam - Light grapple on groggy standing opponentTilt-a-whirl Piledriver - Strong grapple on opponent on one knee Small Package - Strong grapple on opponent on one knee (101%)(F) Tiger Suplex Pin - Strong back grapple on groggy opponent (51%)Dragon Suplex Pin - Strong back grapple on groggy opponent (101%)Hurricanrana Pin - Strong Irish whip attack on groggy opponent Diving Moonsault - Splash Position, strong running aerial attackNote : Front Slam is the best setup for the diving moonsault, by the way.Manabu Nakanishi ================Jumping Knee Drop - Strong ground attack, near or away from head Spear - Light grapple on groggy standing opponentBearhug into Belly to Belly - Strong grapple on groggy standing opponent (F) Body Press Submission - Strong grapple on opponent on one kneeBackbreaker - Medium back grapple on groggy standing opponent Back Body Drop - Strong Irish whip attack on groggy opponentTop Rope Belly to Belly - Near strong turnbuckle attack Super Back Body Drop - Near strong turnbuckle attack (51%)Masa Saito ==========Dragon Screw - Strong grapple on groggy standing opponent Facelock - Medium back grapple on opponent on one kneeShoulder Clench - Light back grapple on opponent on one knee Back Chokehold - Medium Irish whip attack on groggy opponentNote : I have no idea what is Masa Saito's favorite art.

Maybe it's just a random easter egg thing, or there's a way to select other costumes. I've also seen Akira wrestle with his vest on once. Any takers?Other Secret Characters?- Okay, so I've unlocked TWO teen chicks, Sachie Koike and Nozomi Endoh. There's still space for another two secret characters in the select screen. Since unlocking Nozomi is character specific (ie. you had to use Sachie and no one else to win Tornament mode) I'm guessing those two others might also require using a specific person to win a specific mode. I've tried using Nozomi herself to win other modes with no new stuff. Other Stuff - I've won Challenger Trial mode (which you wrestle with everybody on the roster) and got... nothing? After all that effort and four hours of continued test of patience? For those who want to know, I won it on Hard Mode. I've also won IGWP Tornament, IGWP League, Best of Super J, the title matches, all on very hard mode and still nothing. However, like I mentioned above, it might just be character specific though.Funny Stuff from the Crowd - Did you notice there's one member of the audience who never gets it right? Every now and then you'll hear him chant - for wrong wrestler (who isn't even in the ring). And another member who is a Sachie Koike freak - he'll chant her name no matter who's in the ring (he usually yells SAAAAACHIEEEEE!!!). And some people really chant strange things - "Fighting Fit!" (whatever the hell that means). And a final funny is that sometimes the crowd will chant finisher names (for example, during a Shinya match you'll hear some people chanting "DDT!"). But someone is rather clueless as he chants "Fire Thunder Driver!" or "Thunder Fire Driver!" no matter who is in the ring - nobody has either of these moves! ___________________________________________________________________________ /___________________________Acknowledgements_______________________________/- SQUARE, for making a FINE, under appreciated wrestling game.
