_________________________________________________________________________
  1.  INTRODUCTION
_________________________________________________________________________

Street Fighter Collection is a 2-disc set, containing both SSF2 and
SSF2X on one disc, and SFZ2 DASH on the other.  Both games are faithfully
reproduced on the Saturn, and while neither of them are arcade-perfect,
any Capcom fan will want to own this set of classic fighting games.

This FAQ covers all three games as well as the Saturn extras.  While
it's undoubtedly not needed, there's a section on the game mechanics
of each game as well :)  Hopefully this FAQ will give you all the
information you need to enjoy your SF experience, especially if you don't
know Japanese.

FYI, this collection is based on the Japanese versions of these games,
so there are some differences, as listed below:

SSF2 (Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers)
When you lose, there are tips displayed at the bottom of the screen
during the countdown (how to escape a throw, your character's special
move motion, etc.)

SSF2X (Super Street Fighter II X: Grandmaster Challenge)
This may be more familiar to you as Super Street Fighter II: Turbo.
In addition to the differences found in SSF2, Gouki (Akuma) also has
winning quotes.  He has an ending too (!) which I don't believe was
in the US version.

SFZ2 DASH (Street Fighter Zero 2: Dash)
This is based on the Japanese upgrade to Street Fighter Alpha 2, called
'Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha'.  It is in all respect the same as that
game, minus a few things.  There are a few bonus options as well.  It's
not too different from Street Fighter Alpha 2, but you will have to
get adjusted to the way the game plays.

Note that for all three of these games, the names of moves, characters,
etc. are not the same as their 'outside of Japan' counterpart.  Most
characters/techniques will be referred to by their original Japanese
names, but the 'alternate' name will be given at different points in
the FAQ.

  2.  REVISION HISTORY
_________________________________________________________________________

VERSION 0.5
Corrections for Birdie's Bullhorn were added, as well as some storyline
corrections, and minor fix-ups.

VERSION 0.4
Added notes on the costume colors and corrected the method to fighting
Shin Gouki in SSF2X.  Also added more notes on the character moves,
and added Chun-Li's Air Spinning Bird Kick to her moves list.

VERSION 0.3
More corrections and additions--the translations of Gen's moves have also
been completed, and I added the comments for the rest of the characters.
Also, some of the tricks and cheats have been weeded out, as they worked
in SFA2 but not SFZ2 DASH.

VERSION 0.2
More sections added and completed, for SSF2X in particular.

VERSION 0.1
Moves list/number of hits completed, Advanced Tactics (primarily for
SFZ2 DASH) added, various codes and tricks added.

Began construction of VERSION 0.0 on October 2, 1997

  3.  HOW TO PLAY
_________________________________________________________________________

All joystick commands are represented using letters; all button presses
are written as text.  Familiarizing yourself with these basic commands
if you are unsure of how to read each warrior's moves.

CONTROLLER LAYOUT

  ub  u   uf      JUMP BACKWARD         JUMP UP      JUMP FORWARD
   \  |  /
  b-- N --f       WALK BACKWARD         NEUTRAL      WALK FORWARD
   /  |  \
  db  d   df      DEFENSIVE CROUCH      CROUCH       OFFENSIVE CROUCH

This diagram shows the joystick functions for a player facing right.
If you are facing left, reverse the left/right controls.

    L   R                    PUNCH x3          KICK x3

  X   Y   Z       LIGHT PUNCH       MEDIUM PUNCH       HEAVY PUNCH

  A   B   C       LIGHT KICK        MEDIUM KICK        HEAVY KICK

The top two buttons are usually referred to as the 'L' and 'R' buttons
instead of 'Punch x3' and 'Kick x3'

The following notation is used in conjunction with the ASCII art
diagrams of the controller positions:

LP    = Light Punch     MP = Medium Punch      HP = Hard Punch
LK    = Light Kick      MK = Medium Kick       HK = Hard Kick
Punch = Any Punch       2P = Any 2 Punches     3P = Any 3 Punches
Kick  = Any Kick        2K = Any 2 Kicks       3K = Any 3 Kicks
SC    = Super Combo     OC = Original Combo    ZC = Zero Counter
L1    = Level 1 SC      L2 = Level 2 SC        L3 = Level 3 SC
s     = Standing        c  = Crouching         j  = Jumping

(air)     = the move can/must be performed while jumping.
SSF2      = Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
SSF2X     = Super Street Fighter II X: Grandmaster Challenge
SFZ2 DASH = Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash

_________________________________________________________________________
  4.  THE WORLD WARRIORS                    (Super Street Fighter II / X)
_________________________________________________________________________

Each warrior's name, profile, moves, and Super Combos (if any) are
listed below.  The moves are listed in this order; the Japanese name,
the direct translation of the name or general meaning of that name,
the motion used to perform that move, and the number of hits that
move will inflict (3 numbers are given for the three strengths of
punches and kicks, or in the case of Super Combos, for the three levels
of SC gauge power.  If a move uses less buttons, or all three Punch or
Kick buttons, the set of numbers may change).

Also, if there is some special use for that move or note on performing
it, that is listed in the 'Notes:' entry.  A Super Combo is denoted by
the word 'SUPER COMBO' in the upper-right corner of the special move
box; if a certain move is only available in a particular version of
Street Fighter (i.e. Zangief's Final Atomic Buster is only found in
SSF2X and SFZ2 DASH but not SSF2), then the name of the game it can be
used in will also be listed.

Links for the SFZ2 DASH characters are also listed; note that these
are not true 'chain combos' like the kind found in SFZ but simply
normal attacks that can connect (usually in the corner against a large
opponent).

Also, note that a move is listed as (no name) if it's name isn't in the
instruction booklet.  I'll add names as people send them to me/I can
figure them out.

Finally, the character storylines have been pulled from more than one
source.  I don't particularly care for them, but as some people are
really interested in that sort of thing (*smile, smile*), a brief
background of that character is given.  If you notice any inaccuracies,
please feel free to correct me.


=========================================================================
BALROG  (called VEGA outside of Japan)
=========================================================================

A Spanish bullfighter, Balrog is also a master of Ninjitsu and has
blended these two skills together to create his own deadly fighting
style.  A vain man who hides his face behind a mask so as to protect
it, Balrog has attained much wealth since joining Vega's Shadowlaw
forces.

Notes:    Since all of Vega's attacks that involve his claw do less
          damage when his claw flies off (via 12 blocked hits), it's in
          your best interest to get the claw back as soon as you can.

Once human, Blanka underwent a terrifying transformation after the plane

An amnesiac found in the streets of Britain, Cammy was made an offer to
join an elite British special operations unit.  She accepted, hoping to
learn more about herself once her training ended and the real missions

GOUKI  (called AKUMA outside of Japan)
=========================================================================



Gouki is the student of Goutetsu, a brilliant martial artist whose only
other disciple was Gouken.  Goutetsu's knowledge of Shotokan karate
included that of a 'killing intent' that allowed the user of such karate
to slay people using special attacks.  Goutetsu decided that such a
murderous use of Shotokan karate should be forgotten, and so when he
explained this to Gouken, his disciple kept this in mind and never once
mentioned the 'killing intent' to his students, Ryu, Ken, and Dan, many
years later.  Wanting only power though, Gouki re-discovered the
'killing intent' against his master's wishes and used the most powerful
technique, 'Shun-goku-satsu', to destroy Goutetsu.  Even though Goutetsu
knew all the killing techniques himself, he refused to use them, even
when Gouki confronted him.  Gouki then left and decided to go out into
the world to test his new powers on his challengers.

          Punch is pressed from far away, he'll do a palm press attack.
          From up close, it's a slam attack.  If Kick is pressed from
          far away, he does a drop-kick attack.  From up close, he does
          an inverse pile-driver.

Command:  LP, LP, forward, LK, HP  (requires a Level 3 gauge)   SFZ2 DASH
Hits:     15
Notes:    The CPU Gouki could use this prior to the battle against him
          in SSF2X, but Capcom didn't make this attack into an actual
          move until Street Fighter Zero.  In SFZ2 DASH, it's required
          that you have a Level 3 (fully-filled) Super Combo Gauge in
          order to do this move.  When Shin Gouki uses this move, he
          warps forward at double speed.

GUILE
=========================================================================

The leader of a well-organized, secret team of soldiers working for the
US Army, Guile was captured during a mission in Thailand along with his
friend and fellow soldier Nash by the nefarious Vega.  Managing to
escape, Guile wanted to bring back help so that he could free Nash, but
his friend had disappeared.  Guile later discovered Nash's dog tags and
realized that he had been killed by Vega.  Refusing to return to the
military life or to his family, Guile has remained on the prowl in
Thailand, actively searching for Vega.  When he hears of the Street
Fighter tournament's mysterious host, Guile deduces that the head of
the tournament and Vega, leader of Shadowlaw, are the same person.  He
joins the tournament in the hopes of confronting Vega and making him
pay dearly for the death of Nash.

KEN
=========================================================================

An American who is unruly, reckless, and a show-off, Ken was sent to
Japan by his father to study karate under Gouken, in the hopes that
learning a martial art would teach him discipline and patience.
Instead Ken brought his own unique style to Shotokan karate, and yet
was true to Gouken and became a skilled practicioner.  During the
course of his studies, he also became the friend and rival of Ryu,
who was the only person who he was not skilled enough to beat
repeatedly in battle.  Knowing that prize money pays big when it
comes to fighting tournaments, Ken has entered various contests around
the world, while Ryu continued to train in Japan.  Easily fighting
through them all, he heard that Ryu had entered a famous tourney
called 'Street Fighter' and he joined as well, eager to show his old
pal what he had learned since their days together in Japan.

MIKE BISON  (M. Bison, called BALROG outside of Japan)
=========================================================================

Once a heavyweight boxer who had it made, Bison's tendancy for reckless
fighting resulted in the loss of his title.  Continuing to fight dirty,
he was forbidden from ever boxing professionally again.  Depressed,
Bison became an alcoholic, wasting his money on liquor.  He eventually
decided to become a fighter on the streets when he met Vega.  Offered
far more money if he served Shadowlaw, the boxer accepted and is now one
of Vega's best thugs.

This character is also the reason for the name changing of three of
the four bosses in the original SF2 game.  Mike Bison is a parody of
the (in)famous boxer Mike Tyson.  In Japan, such a similarity would not
have made Capcom subject to the law, but in America, Capcom could have
been sued over the resemblance.  So, the names were changed to prevent
any trouble from occuring.

                  61-inf. timer counts  :  Final Punch

          Note that this is the only move in SSF2X that requires you
          to hold _all three_ buttons.  You can also charge two of these
          attacks at the same time, and release them one after the other,
          or at different points during the round.  The Final Punch
          causes a little over 50% damage (say, 58%).

RYU
=========================================================================

The disciple of Gouken and a master of Shotokan karate, Ryu has always
felt that he is not a good enough fighter and has spent his life
training day after day, endlessly practicing from one year to the next.
When his master died, Ryu decided that the best way to hone his skills
would be by fighting others, and so he entered the Street Fighter
tournament.  At the time, it was headed by Sagat, who was the
undefeated champion, but the up-and-coming Ryu managed to defeat not
only his friend and fellow contender Ken, but the champion himself,
Sagat, by a narrow margin.  He refused to be named the champion,
though, and left to seek a new challenge before he could even be
rewarded.  Ryu believes that he can truly understand Shotokan karate
through mastery of the HaDoKen (Wave Motion Fist) technique, and has
relentlessly pursued his goal by training at a dojo in Japan after
the end of the Street Fighter tournament.  He joined the next one
the following year to train himself even further.

Ryu is puzzled and concerned about Gouki, his master's former fellow
student, who has told Ryu in previous battles that he will never
understand Shotokan karate unless he first learns of the 'killing
intent'.  Ryu hopes to fight Gouki again so that he might learn more
about what Gouki has been hinting to him.

SAGAT
=========================================================================

A kickboxer from Thailand who once reigned supreme as the Street Fighter
tournament champion, Sagat was defeated years ago by Ryu, whose brutal
assault left Sagat scarred when he used a variant of the ShoRyuKen
(Rising Dragon Fist) technique*.  An honorable man who had been fighting
all his life, Sagat was unable to accept his defeat and swore that he
would avenge himself and regain his title by defeating Ryu.  Remembering
what had beaten him so badly before, Sagat developed the 'Tiger Blow',
a new addition to his arsenal of Muay Thai moves and an improvisation
on Ryu's ShoRyuKen.  His training complete, Sagat learned that although
Ryu was the champion, he had left the tournament and so a new fighter
had stepped in and proclaimed himself the head of the tourney, Vega.
Although Sagat will have nothing to do with Vega's personal business,
he was lured into serving Vega with the promise of being taught 'Psycho
Power' by the drug-lord, and now works for him in the hopes of becoming
strong enough to crush Ryu once and for all.

* Apparently this wasn't the standard ShoRyuKen, but either the
  'Messatsu Go-ShoRyu' that 'Evil' Ryu and Gouki use, or the Shin
  ShoRyuKen seen in MSH vs. SF and SF3 (not that I'd know ^_^;).

from moving his people out of their homes and leaving an entire tribe
without a place to call home.  T. Hawk went to Mexico himself, and after
hearing that the head of Shadowlaw was also the head of the Street
Fighter tournament, T. Hawk practiced in the hopes of improving his
wrestling skills he learned as a young man.  Now, T. Hawk has joined
the latest tournament, his sole goal being to teach Vega a lesson.

VEGA  (called M. BISON outside of Japan)
=========================================================================

Powerful and twisted, Vega's origins are unknown.  He discovered the
deadly 'Psycho Power' some time ago, and mastered it's use, against
the wishes of other masters of similar powers (such as Rose).  His only
goal being that of world domination, Vega is the head of a powerful
organization called the Shadowlaw, which operates across the globe.
Vega's vast wealth comes from working as drug kingpin in South America
and Southeast Asia.  However, when he found that the head position
in the Street Fighter tournament had been left vacant, he took over,
and now used the tournament to collect even more ill-gotten money via
gambling on the contenders and such.  A cold-hearted murderer and
wanted criminal, Vega is nonetheless safe no matter where he is,
because he has bought up most of the special police forces and
overseas military units which operate from countries such as Thailand
and America.

wrestling from a coach because he had little money.  So Zangief instead
went out into the wilderness to train, and ended up becoming famous
when people heard that he wrestled bears in the wild for his 'training'.
Zangief became a star in the Russian wrestling world, but soon there
was no one left to challenge him.  Hearing of the Street Fighter
tournament, Zangief entered with the intention of smashing everyone
into the ground with his trusty trademark move, the Screw Piledriver.

ADON
=========================================================================

A Thailand contender in previous Street Fighter tournaments, Adon was
second only to the former champion, Sagat, who was also his teacher and
a fellow master of Muay Thai.  However, Adon and Sagat had their
differences and eventually grew apart, although they still respected
each other for their strength.  When Ryu defeated Sagat, Adon was
shamed at his teacher's loss, and decided that Sagat was not worthy
enough to fight ever again.  He would like to fight Ryu again after
losing to him in the last tournament, but he is even more passionate
about killing his teacher, whom he believes is an insult to the
invincible spirit of Muay Thai.

BIRDIE
=========================================================================

Raised in the backstreets of Britain, Birdie worked for many years as a
hired bouncer, his unique appearance the result of a life of club-
hopping and party-going.  Birdie fought for England in a Street Fighter
tournament long ago, but was beaten and gave up professional fighting.
After hearing about Vega and the Shadowlaw, Birdie has decided to join
the tournament once more, in the hopes of beating Vega and proving
himself worthy enough to become a top member of Shadowlaw.

In the SFZ series, Birdie has a different voice with a more noticable
'English' accent.  He also has a win pose, that...well let's just say
that it's true to his name :)

Command:  Hold any two Punch or Kick buttons, then release
Hits:     1,1 to 5,5
Notes:    The longer you hold down two Punch or Kick buttons, the more
          powerful the Bull Horn becomes, hitting more times (once per
          lvel, so a Level 3 Punch hits three times).

                  01-02   timer counts  :  Level 1 Punch
                  03-04   timer counts  :  Level 2 Punch
                  05-08   timer counts  :  Level 3 Punch
                  09-16   timer counts  :  Level 4 Punch
                  17-inf. timer counts  :  Final Punch

          While holding down the buttons used, you can only use the
          other type of attack (if you're charging the Bull Horn
          with two Kicks, you can only use Punch buttons and special
          moves/SCs using Punch, and vice versa).  You can charge
          up to four Bull Horns at once by holding down all 6 buttons;
          release one Punch or Kick for two Bull Horns and then another
          Punch or Kick for up to two more (you can't release the
          third button because you have to have been holding that the
          entire time so as to keep up the charge).

DAN HIBIKI  (Dan)
=========================================================================

As a young man, Dan trained in the fighting art of Muay Thai, learning
from his father, Go.  Dan later witnessed his father's death at the hands
of Sagat after a battle in which Go accidentally injured Sagat's eye,
partially blinding him, and Dan swore that he would make Sagat pay.

Dan's claim to fame is that he is a joke fighter.  His original
inspiration comes from a 1993 drawing by one of Capcom's artists, in
which Sagat is seen holding a defeated fighter by the head.  Later,
Capcom decided to make that fighter into a real character.  In the
beginning, Dan was designed as a parody of SNK's fighting games,
as the two companies have been releasing fighting games for years.
Capcom chose the SNK series 'Art of Fighting' to be the object of
their joke, since the trilogy of games are sometimes called 'the
other Street Fighter', and the Ryo/Robert rivalry is a dead match
for Ryu and Ken's relationship.

Here's a quick explanation of what makes Dan a parody:

- He has a ponytail like Robert Garcia from Art of Fighting
- He wears a black shirt under his gi, just like Ryo Sakazaki
  from Art of Fighting.
- He also wears geta (another nod to Ryo Sakazaki).
- His 'GaDoKen' is similar in appearance (thrown with one hand)
  and range (short) to both of Ryo and Robert's projectile attacks.
  In AoF, throwing a projectile with no power in your Spirit Bar
  resulted in a 'dud' fireball like the GaDoKen.
- His 'DanKuKyaku' and 'KoRyuKen' are also closer in resemblance
  to Robert's 'HiEnSenPuKyaku' and 'RyuGa' than they are to the
  'TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku and 'ShoRyuKen' of Ryu or Ken.
- Dan's win poses are also takeoff's on SNK's Art of Fighting
  series; Dan's standard clenched fist taunt is a rip-off of a
  similar pose done by Robert Garcia, his 'shirt out of gi' pose
  is just like Takuma Sakazaki's win pose in AoF2, and his surprised
  win pose resembles Yuri Sakazaki's win stance in AoF2 as well.
- Dan's 'Hissho BuRaiKen' Super Combo closely resembles the trademark
  'super move' of Ryo/Robert, the'RyuuKoRanBu', right down to the
  moment of blocking before the actual attack begins.

SNK countered this in their next game, King of Fighters '96.  In it,
all the Sakazakis have short-range fireballs, Ryo and Robert's
HiEnShippuKyaku/HiEnSenPuKyaku are now more similar to Dan's SFA
DanKuKyaku.  In addition, their 'RyuKoRanbu' attack was also made to
look a little less like Dan's 'Hissho BuRaiKen'.  Capcom made another
reference to the parody in SFA2: During the mid-boss battle (with Ken)
Ken asks Dan if he knows the 'art of fighting', a reference to the
SNK series Art of Fighting.

However, Dan became much better known as a worthless fighter, and so
Capcom did their best to accentuate this in future games like SFA2 and
MSH vs. SF, in which Dan has become progressively weaker/more of a
show-off character (such as his numerous and infuriating taunts).

GEN
=========================================================================

A former fighter in one of the early Street Fighter tournaments, Gen
had entered that tournament in search of Gouki, an enemy of his, but
had no luck in finding him and so returned to his job as a professional
Hong Kong assassin, using his mastery of the AnSetsuKen style of killing
to murder people with a single touch.  Sensing Gouki's return some time
later, Gen leaves Hong Kong to enter the upcoming Street Fighter
tournament, hoping to kill the man that he was unable to defeat before.

Command:  f,d,df + Kick  (tap Kick at an increasing pace during the move)
Hits:     1,1,1 intially, then 5,6,7  (for 6,7,8 total)
Notes:    The timing is very tricky; mess up and you'll fall to the
          ground or hang in the air, leaving you open to attack.  If
          you succeed in getting all the kicks, the last one will knock
          Gen's opponent across the screen.  My suggestion is to start
          by tapping Kick slowly, but then increasing speed as you go
          along.  For best results, start tapping Kick at the very end
          of the GekiRo's initial animation, just as Gen hangs in the
          air with his leg extended, before he starts falling down
          again.  You can simply spaz on the buttons immediately after
          the move initiates, but you won't get all the hits in.

Japanese: So-ryu: ShiTenShu                                   SUPER COMBO
English:  Mourning Style: Death Point Curse
Command:  d,db,b,d,db,b + Punch
Hits:     3,5,7
Notes:    A hit oppoenent will flash, and a counter will appear above
          them that counts down from 9 to 0.  Every time it ticks, the
          character takes a small amount of damage.  Once it reaches
          zero, Gen's foe is knocked to the ground and when they stand
          up, they become dizzy.  The only way to get out of this move
          is to hit Gen with an attack (it won't work if he blocks it),
          which makes the counter vanish.  You can hit an opponent with
          this move again during the counter countdown, and if you do
          so, it not only causes added initial damage but makes the
          timer count down faster.  For that reason, 3 Level 1 Shitenshu
          SCs are (IMO) better than one Level 3 Shitenshu hitting.

Japanese: Ki-ryu: O-Ga
English:  Detestable Style: Wandering Fang
Command:  Charge d,u + Kick
Hits:     1,1,1
Notes:    Is this move fun or what?  Here's how it works:

           - You can charge d,u + Kick to jump to the wall nearest you.
           - You can also charge d,ub/uf + Kick to jump to either the
             left or right walls.
           - Once on a wall, Gen will make a diving kick attack.  You
             can press Back to make him abort the attack and drop to
             the ground, or press Forward to make his kick attack
             have more reach.
           - Or, you can press Up.  This makes Gen jump up to the
             ceiling, usually right over your opponent's head.
           - From here, doing nothing makes him perform a head stomp.
             Or, press Back or Forward to make him attack with a steeply
             angled kick in that direction.  Or, press Up-Back or Up-
             Forward to make him jump away in those directions without
             attacking.

Notes:    Heh, heh, heh....

           - Performing this move at:

             L1 results in a jump kick and a wall rebound.
             L2 results in a jump kick and two wall rebounds.
             L3 results in a jump kick and three wall rebounds.

           - Pressing a button during a rebound results in:

             LK makes him jump to the wall in front of him and perform
             an angled kick.
             MK makes him jump to the corner in front of him and perform
             a head stomp.
             HK makes him jump to the wall behind him and perform an
             angled kick.

          You can do the same attack for each rebound, or mix them up.
          Otherwise, not pressing anything just makes Gen bound off
          the walls and automatically perform a near or far diving
          kick in order to (try) and hit your opponent.

*  There really isn't a good translation for this; 'Death Anniversary'
   is referring to remembering the date when someone died.  If someone
   has a better translation for the kanji, I'd love to hear it, since
   I don't think 'detestable' is the implied meaning, even though it
   is one of the possible meanings.


=========================================================================
GUY
=========================================================================

A Japanese man living in Japan, Guy has visted and lived in America
off and on for many years.  He is a diligent student of the way of the
warrior, or Bushin, which is not a fighting style per se but a state
of mind.  Guy anxiously awaits for the day when he can complete his
training by beating his master and rival, Zekuu.  Along with former
Street Fighter Mike Haggar, the mayor of Metro City, and his friend,
Cody, Guy freed Metro City from the grip of the Mad Gear gang, a group
of thugs headed by a syndicate run by Belger.  In defeating the gang,
Guy has made many enemies, Sodom and Rolento among them.

Guy's first appearance was in the game Final Fight, which details the
battle between Cody, Haggar, Guy, and the Mad Gear gang.  In the
ending of Final Fight, Guy beats up Cody using his combination attack
and then leaps offscreen before Jessica and Cody are reunited.  It's
not apparent whether he was a member of Mad Gear as well or if he just
had a grudge against Cody, but in SFA2, the mid-boss battle with
Rolento hints that he was was a former Mad Gear member (he tells Guy,
"I see you remember your true leader.")

          If LK was used initially, pressing any Kick makes him stop
          running.  If MK was used initially, pressing any Kick makes
          him perform a sliding kick.  If HK was used, pressing any
          kick makes him stop running and perform a jumping double-hit
          flying leg attack.

Notes:    This move can only be done with a full (Level 3) Super Combo

Notes:    Tapping Punch results in Charlie throwing more Sonic Booms.
          You can throw an extra Boom (or two or three extra if using
          L2 or L3) as long as one of the Sonic Booms is still on the
          screen.  A SC Sonic Boom does just as much damage as a normal
          Sonic Boom.

ROLENTO
=========================================================================

A maniacal soldier who was once in the Vietnam War, Rolento was
discharged from the army when others witnessed his gruesome tactics
in battle.  Returning to America, Rolento's bloodlust was overpowering
him, and he joined the Mad Gear gang in order to appease his appetite
for violence.  Rolento is deeply angry at Guy, who defeated him along
with the other Mad Gear members some time ago, and has signed up for
the latest Street Fighter tournament in order to enact his revenge.
Unlike Sodom, Rolento has no interest in rebuilding Mad Gear, but plans
to create his own crime group with himself as the leader.

Rolento was the leader of the fourth stage (Industrial Area) in the
old Capcom beat-em'-up game Final Fight.  He was added to SFZ2
relatively unchanged, still retaining his baton, grenades, and even
his blue (Super) shadows!  Rolento also has an uncanny resemblance to
the Providence Leader in the 'Fist of the North Star' manga.

Notes:    The Kick button used determines the height of Rolento's jump.
          Thereafter, the strength of the Punch or Kick button used
          determines the angle at which he throws the knife.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Mekon Deruta Ea Reido
English:  Mekong Delta Air Raid
Command:  d,db,b + Punch  (press Punch again while rolling backward)
Hits:     0,0,0 initially, then 1,1,1
Notes:    You can use the first part of this move as an easy retreat
          roll.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Mekon Deruta Esukeipu
English:  Mekong Delta Escape
Command:  d,db,b + Kick  (press Punch or Kick while in mid-air)
Hits:     0,0,0 initially, then 1,1,1
Notes:    You can press Back or Forward during this move to alter your
          landing.  You cannot use the (Down + MK) move while in the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Mekon Deruta Attaku
English:  Mekong Delta Attack
Command:  Press all three Punch buttons  (press any Punch while flipping)
Hits:     0,0,0 initially, then 1,1,1
Notes:    The backflip isn't invincible, but makes a nice retreat
          tactic.  The button used for the roll determines the distance
          Rolento moves forward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Torikku Randingu
English:  Trick Landing
Command:  Press all three Kick buttons as you land from the air.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Hai Janpu
English:  High Jump
Command:  Tap d,u
Hits:     0
Notes:    You must do this move very quickly.  I suggest sliding your
          thumb across the pad as if you were doing a Somersault Shell
          without charging, instead of tapping Down, then Up.  You can
          attack while jumping and can do the (down + MK) special move
          as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English:  (no name)
Command:  Jump, then down + Medium Kick
Hits:     1
Notes:    This move is not the same as it was in SFA2.  You cannot do it
          during the Mekong Delta Escape, only during a normal jump or
          High Jump.  However, Rolento will stay in the last frame of
          animation until he reaches the ground, at which point he'll
          flip a la the Trick Landing, but will move forward instead of
          backward.  You can do this move repeatedly to hop around the
          screen, and can use the Trick Landing after hopping, too, or
          even throw a Punch or Kick, although you have to be close if
          you want the hit to connect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English:  (no name)
Command:  Forward + Medium Kick
Hits:     1
Notes:    This will hit if done from extremely close.  It works best
          after throwing your opponent, since you'll probably end up
          doing Rolento's Kick throw otherwise.  I suppose this move
          could also be used to fake the Trick Landing or (Down + MK)
          move, but that's useless....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Souru Rifurekuto
English:  Soul Reflect
Command:  d,db,b + Punch
Hits:     1,1,1
Notes:    Using LP make Rose absorb a thrown projectile and she gets
          a set amount of SC energy for it.  Using MP makes her reflect
          a thrown projectile straight forward, and using HP makes her
          reflect it up at an angle.  The Soul Reflect DOESN'T work
          on any SC projectile except Dan's Shinku Gadoken.  If you try
          to reflect Dan's Gadoken or Shinku Gadoken, the range will
          still remain short, instead of becoming a normal fireball like
          in SFA.

Japanese: Oora Souru Supaaku                                  SUPER COMBO
English:  Aura Soul Spark
Command:  d,db,b,d,db,b + Punch
Hits:     3,6,4
Notes:    The Level 3 version of this move creates a small wave of aura-
          like force.  Any projectile or SC projectile that hits this
          wave of force will be reflected straight backward like a SC
          Soul Reflect.  See the notes for the 'Soul Reflect' for
          details.  One difference is that afterwards, the Soul Spark
          that she fires is (of course) an SC projectile, and so can
          trade hits or negate other projectiles/SC projectiles.

Japanese: Oora Souru Suruu                                    SUPER COMBO
English:  Aura Soul Throw
Command:  d,df,f,d,df + Punch
Hits:     1,2,4
Notes:    The L2 and L3 versions of this move are preceeded by several
          attacks made by Rose, meaning that her opponent does not have
          to be airborne in order to be hit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Souru Iruujon                                       SUPER COMBO

Command:  d,df,f,d,df + Kick
Hits:     0,0,0
Notes:    When used, shadows trail Rose that increase the number of times
          any attack hits by four.  These aren't guaranteed hits, because
          Rose is easily pushed out of range by her own attacks.  This
          move only affects physical attacks, not projectiles.  The L1
          version lasts 5 seconds, the L2 version lasts 7 seconds, and
          the L3 version lasts 10 seconds.

          that you used to initiate the move originally.

          their feet, but won't floor them unless they were crouch-
          blocking at the time.

SODOM
=========================================================================

Sodom is a former Mad Gear henchman who suffered a humiliating defeat
at the hands of Guy, who then went on to destroy the Mad Gear gang
along with Haggar and Cody.  Sodom wants not only to avenge his loss
by challenging Guy once more, but he would like to rebuild the Mad
Gear gang, funding it's revival with the prize money offered in each
Street Fighter tournament.

Originally, he was the boss of the second stage (Metro City Subway),
of the game Final Fight, a game that other characters (Guy, Rolento)
also come from.  In that game, he wielded two katana, which were
replaced with jittes (weapon-breaking tools) in SFZ.  The kanji on
his outfit is 'shi', which means 'death'.

Sodom is something of a joke character in the Japanese SF Zero series,
but this was cut out of the American version of SFA2, except for an
obscure reference to an 'Old Coke Factory'.  The idea is that Sodom, an
American, is bent on abosorbing Japanese culture.  However, he can
barely speak the language, let alone read it.  This is reflected in all
of his win quotes, in which he says something like 'SEA! SHORE! BOY!'
By itself, his quote means nothing, but the kanji for these English
words are actually a quote when interpreted differently in Japanese (as
most kanji have more than one meaning).  Sodom's mid-boss and boss
battles, as well as his ending, are also full of humorous English text.
This joke is carried pretty far, even to the point where the names of
his special moves, while they should be spelled with kanji, are written
using katakana, an alphabet reserved primarily for translated English
words (romaji) and sound effects (it sure makes them hard to translate,
too.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Jigoku Sukureipu
English:  Hell Scrape
Command:  d,df,f + Punch
Hits:     1,2,1
Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Butsumetsu Basutaa
English:  Unlucky Day Buster
Command:  Rotate controller 360 degrees (counter) clockwise + Punch
Hits:     1,1,1
Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Daikyo Baaningu
English:  Burning [of] Bad Teachings
Command:  Rotate controller 360 degrees (counter) clockwise + Kick
Hits:     1,1,1
Notes:    If Sodom hits with this move when his opponent is in the air
          or not entirely on the ground, he'll knock them with his
          jitte only, and not grab them and go into the rest of the
          move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Shiraha Kacchi
English:  White Sword Catch
Command:  f,d,df + Kick
Hits:     1,1,1
Notes:    Hard to time, but this move will reverse any overhead attack
          and make Sodom toss them instead.  Yes, you can Tech. Hit if
          you're reversed by this move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Tengu Wookingu
English:  Ten-Gu Walking  (a tengu is a bird-like, long-nosed demon)
Command:  f,df,d + Kick  (when you are knocked off your feet)
Hits:     3,3,3
Notes:    Very fun to use :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English:  (no name)
Command:  b,db,d + Punch  (when you are knocked off your feet)
Hits:     0,0,0
Notes:    Few people know about this, but it rolls Sodom _forward_
          instead of backward, which sets him up nicely for a command
          throw (Butsumetsu Buster or Ten-chu-satsu).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Suraidingu
English:  Sliding
Command:  Down + Hard Kick
Hits:     1
Notes:    Still as useful as ever.  Use this to poke at your enemy and
          to pressure them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Meido no Miyage                                     SUPER COMBO
English:  Hell Souvenir / Hades Present  (lit. Hades of Present)
Command:  d,df,f,d,df,f + Punch
Hits:     3,6,7
Notes:    The Level 3 version ends in a leaping HP attack that will
          sometimes miss.  Only the Level 1 version can juggle an
          airborne opponent for all 3 hits.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Ten-chu-satsu                                       SUPER COMBO
