Basic Concepts
--------------

NORMAL LINE / CORNER LINE
     These are terms I personally made up to explain a concept that I've
     yet to read explained elsewhere.  If anyone who knows Japanese can
     get me the "official" names for these, feel free to e-mail them to
     me (for all I know, Human may have never even thought of the concept
     this way).
          Normal Line    When you're anywhere NOT aligned horizontally with
                         the East and West corners.
          Corner Line    When you're horizontally aligned with the East and
                         West corners.

INDIVIDUAL MOVES
     Again, I'm sure this isn't what Human calls it or would call it, but
     my name for it serves the purpose.  These are moves that are specific
     to your wrestler and are the ones that you choose for a custom wrestler
     you're making in EDIT Mode.

SPECIAL MOVES
     Every wrestler has 5 special moves.  You can make one of your custom
     wrestler's moves a special move by pressing C while highlighting it
     (B to cancel it).  These aren't listed here since everyone's specials
     are different (not only the specific move but also the way to do it).

FINISHING MOVE
     Every wrestler has a finishing move.  You can make one of your custom
     wrestler's moves a finishing move by pressing A while highlighting it
     (B to cancel it).  This is the move that can Critical (K.O.) opponents,
     unless your wrestler has a Critical set for a whole catagory of moves
     (ie. Suplexes).  These aren't listed here since everyone's finisher is
     different (not only the specific move but also the way to do it).

---------
The Moves
---------

STANDING ANYWHERE (Opponent Standing)
          L: Performance 1    The pose or taunt that your wrestler does
                              in his introductory ring entrance.
          R: Performance 2    The post or taunt that is used during the
                              match either to provoke or show off.
          X: Run              Run in the direction opposite that which
                              you're facing (unless you hold a specific
                              direction with it) and bounce off the ropes.
          Y: Breathe          Bend over and take a breather to recover
                              from, or avoid, fatigue.
          Z: First Person     Hold it to change the directions into your
                              wrestler's point of view.
          A: Individual       Weak wrestler-specific move.
          B: Individual       Medium wrestler-specific move.
          C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific move.
        A+B: Individual       "Special" wrestler-specific move.

NORMAL GRAPPLE
 Just walk into your opponent to grapple with him.  Press the button or
 direction+button as soon as you touch.  This is completely timing-based,
 the first to hit a button or direction+button does the move, mashing on
 your buttons does NOT work in 6MS.
          X: Irish Whip       Whip your opponent to the direction your
                              back is facing.  This will whip him into the
                              corner and hook him on it, if you're in the
                              corner line.  This will throw an opponent
                              outside if your back is up against the ropes
                              or inside if your back is against the apron.
          Z: Front Facelock   Hold your opponent for control, you can take
                              him to a certain place in the ring or press
                              A, B, or C to give him an elbow to the back.
          A: Individual       Weak wrestler-specific grapple move #1.
        U+A: Individual       Weak wrestler-specific grapple move #2.
      L/R+A: Individual       Weak wrestler-specific grapple move #3.
        D+A: Individual       Weak wrestler-specific grapple move #4.
          B: Individual       Medium wrestler-specific grapple move #1.
        U+B: Individual       Medium wrestler-specific grapple move #2.
      L/R+B: Individual       Medium wrestler-specific grapple move #3.
        D+B: Individual       Medium wrestler-specific grapple move #4.
          C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific grapple move #1.
        U+C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific grapple move #2.
      L/R+C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific grapple move #3.
        D+C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific grapple move #4.
        A+B: Individual       "Special" wrestler-specific grapple move.

WAISTLOCK (Back Grapple)
 Just walk into your opponent from behind (either he's dazed or breathing).
 Press the button or direction+button as soon as you touch.  This is
 completely timing-based, the first to hit a button or direction+button does
 the move or reversal.  Again, mashing on your buttons does NOT work.
          X: Irish Whip       Whip your opponent to the direction you're
                              facing.
          Z: Hold Arms        Hold your opponent's arms from behind for
                              double-teaming moves.
        U+Z: Shoulder Carry   Carry your opponent on your shoulders, used
                              for some double-teaming moves.
          A: Individual       Weak wrestler-specific back move.
          B: Individual       Medium wrestler-specific back move.
          C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific back move #1.
      U/D+C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific back move #2.
      L/R+C: Individual       Strong wrestler-specific back move #3.
        A+B: Individual       "Special" wrestler-specific back move.

WAISTLOCK REVERSAL (Opponent back grappling)
 When your opponent is putting you in a waistlock for a move, try to press
 a button before he does to reverse it.
          A: Elbow            Elbow your opponent in the face to break free.
          B: Individual       Wrestler-specific reversal (could be anything
                              from a reversal to a waistlock of your own to
                              a kick in the groin area).

CORNER GRAPPLE (Opponent hooked on corner)
 After irish whipping him into the corner, you can walk up and grapple with
 him while he's there.
          X: Irish Whip       Whips him out of the corner line and back into
                              the normal line.  This is one way of returning
                              to normal run counters.
          Z: Hook Up          Scoop him up and hook him onto the corner by
                              his feet, upside down.
        U+C: Individual       Wrestler-specific corner grapple move #1.
      L/R+C: Individual       Wrestler-specific corner grapple move #2.
        D+C: Individual       Wrestler-specific corner grapple move #3.

                              If there's an opponent already standing on
                              top, doing this will throw him off.

                              top, doing this will grab his foot, this is
                              useful if he's about to attack your partner
                              in a tag match.

STANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE
          D: Jump off         Jump back into the ring.
          A: Individual       Wrestler-specific corner move #1.  Some

          B: Individual       Wrestler-specific corner move #2.  Some
