Toshin Daibukai is a fighters' tournament held in the underworld every few
years. All types of weapons, except firearms, are allowed making this fight to
the death the ultimate tournament. The organization that arranges the tournament
has selected all the participants in advance. Rumor has it that this
organization was dissolved after the last tournament. The truth is not yet
known. The tournament is about to begin. Who is behind the scenes? What evil
purpose do they have?
Battle Arena Toshinden is an excellent Game Boy fighter, despite the translation
problems. There are numerous misspelled words (i.e. Hear comes a new challenger)
along with other things. Take, for example, the characters' beginning/ending
stories (beginning and end of tournament on Normal or above). They could have
two speakers, but there is no indication of who's talking. (i.e. Hi, Bob. How
are you? I'm fine. And you? I'm just dandy. Couldn't be better. That's nice.)
And, some of their win quotes are terribly screwed up... (i.e. Don't touch me
while fighting.) But, overall, it's a fun game, and if you don't have it yet, I
suggest getting it. I saw it for $10 at Wal-Mart once. =)

For the Desperation/Secret moves' shortcuts (u + AB/ab), it is easiest to
hold/tap AB/ab and then tap Up.
You can only perform Desperation moves if your life gauge is flashing (unless
you access Scorcher mode).
Almost all moves listed have two different versions, depending on if
you press or tap the button. (i.e. projectiles move slower or faster.)
I will only list the differences between pressing and tapping if they are worth
noting.
I have listed the maximum number of hits each move delivers. If you are unable
to make them hit that many times, make sure you are right next to the opponent
and then do the move.
Also, all the lists are for the player facing right. The controls are reversed
for the player facing left.

/ Mondo /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Possessor of the Seiryu Spear, Mondo represents his family, the Yaki clan, in
the tournament. He has trained vigorously and will do whatever he can to win.
Mondo is one of my best fighters, and he has some AWESOME moves. His Raijin
Shohinkai is unmatched.
Weapon: Seiryu Spear
Moves:
Goriki Tenbu
Z> + B
Shortcut: f + AB
2 hits maximum
The Goriki Tenbu is a spear stab followed by a very high jump with Mondo
twirling his spear over his head. Very useful for eluding high attacks that you
cannot jump over.
Goriki Fujin
HCT + B
Shortcut: d + AB
The Goriki Fujin is a useful move in which Mondo spins his spear in front of him
and slowly moves forward. With this move, Mondo cannot be hit with any attack
because his spear blocks it.
Shippu Tsuki (high)
QCT + B
Shortcut: b + AB
Shippu Tsuki (low)
QCB + B
No shortcut
3 hits maximum
The Shippu Tsuki is an extending jab with the spear. It can stop some special
moves.
Goriki Raijin
(in air) QCT + B
Shortcut: Jump + AB
1 hit maximum
The Goriki Raijin is an air fireball. Enough said.
Choriki Daibutsumetsu
QCT, QCT, b + B
Shortcut: u + AB
4 hits maximum
Desperation move
The Choriki Daibutsumetsu is a move similar to the Goriki Fujin, except Mondo
releases four fireballs in midair and it takes off a lot more damage. If you
perform the motion and press B, Mondo releases all four at the same time. If you
tap B, he releases two, pauses, and releases the other two.
Kyoriki-jakouretsubu
HCUB, QCT + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
4 hits maximum
Secret move
The Kyoriki-jakouretsubu is a move where Mondo performs a Goriki Tenbu followed
by a Goriki Fujin, but they're more powerful.
Raijin Shoheki
HCT + A
No shortcut
5 hits maximum
Scorcher Mode only
The Raijin Shoheki is a VERY useful move. Mondo holds his spear out in front of
him and it encases itself in a force field type thing. It repels all projectiles
back at your opponent. This move can also hit the opponent multiple times by
just touching him with the charged spear.
Goriki Senpujin
QCB, QCB + AB
No shortcut
8 hits maximum
Scorcher Mode only
The Goriki Senpujin is a move where Mondo continuously does an air roundhouse
and sweeps the opponent around for awhile. Useful if the opponent has you
trapped in a corner and you are unable to escape.
Puujin Shohinkai
(close to opponent) A
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
The Puujin Shohinkai is a flip-kick. Useful if an opponent is jumping and is
directly above you. Time it so that you hit the opponent when he/she is coming
down. It can also be used while right next to opponent.
Air Juggle move
If the opponent jumps at you, hit [uf + A]. They will be knocked higher into the
air. When you land, do it again. You can do this up to three times. I believe
that this works with most of the other fighters, too.
Throw/Hold
Mondo lifts the opponent with his spear and slams them on the ground.
Knockdown Attack
Mondo does a quad stab with his spear. Easy to hit an opponent with.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Duke /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
One day, during a fight with a young Asian man, Duke's beloved sword Vanquer
broke and he was defeated. Now Duke seeks a rematch with Eiji, the man
responsible for his defeat.
Duke is another player whom I am good with. He is a VERY short-range player,
with only one long-range attack that isn't even always accurate. He does not
kick, but instead has 5 different kinds of slashes (not including special
attacks, and including the knockdown attack).
Weapon: Vanquer (Sword)
Moves:
Southern Cross
b,f,df,d + B
Shortcut: b + AB
10 hits maximum
The Southern Cross is a cool move. Duke lunges at his opponent with his sword,
and then follows it with an Ogre Slash.
Cyclone
QCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
2 hits maximum
The Cyclone is a move where Duke swings his sword in a circular motion and then
does a sword slash.
Ogre Slash
f,HCT + B
Shortcut: d + AB
1 hit maximum
The Ogre Slash is a move where Duke jumps at the opponent and does a downward
slash. Yay.
Head Crush
Jump,QCT + B
Shortcut: jump + AB
1 hit maximum
The Head Crush is a nice move to take out opponents from the air (except for the
fact that, above Easy level, opponents usually block it). Duke jumps and then
comes straight down on his opponents with his sword.
The End
HCT, b + B
Shortcut: u + AB
2 hits maximum
Desperation move
A powered-up Cyclone. Need I say more?
La Fin
df,db,df,b,f + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
Duke's only projectile attack. An Ogre Slash which launches a projectile
diagonally upward.
Grand Cross
QCT, QCT + AB
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Scorcher Mode only
The Grand Cross is slightly a projectile attack. Duke jumps in the air, does a
couple of flips, and then lands and releases four projectile-type things that
float upward slowly.
Roses Coffin
QCT + A
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Scorcher Mode only
The Roses Coffin is a dash-and-slash move. It was designed to be performed three
times in a row. When you hit an opponent with it, a rose appears over them and
it is sliced in half. Prittikewl move if done correctly.
Throw/Hold
Duke grabs the opponent and slams them on the ground.
Knockdown Attack
Duke does a hard sword slash.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Sho /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Eiji's mysterious brother never stays in one place too long. What is his purpose
here? Only time will tell.
Sho is the best character in the game (in my opinion) because his moves are a
combination of Kayin's and Eiji's. The reason for this is that he taught Eiji
and Kayin everything they know. He also has some of his own moves.
Weapon: Sword
Moves:
Senpu-Rekkuzan
QCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
2 hits maximum
The Senpu-Rekkuzan is a double fireball that hits high and low. A nice move for
pummeling the opponent from a distance.
Shouzan
Z> + B
Shortcut: d + AB
Shishouzan
Z< + B
No shortcut
4 hits maximum
The Shouzan is a sword dash followed by a vertical sword uppercut. The
Shishouzan is the same, except it ends with a diagonal sword uppercut. Both are
useful for getting jumping opponents if you lightly tap B while performing the
motion.
Senkouga
QCB + A
Shortcut: b + AB
1 hit maximum
The Senkouga is kind of hard to explain, but it is one of Kayin's favorite
moves. Sho jumps slightly forward and that about it.
Suseikyaku
Jump, QCB + A
Shortcut: jump, d + AB
1 hit maximum
The Suiseikyaku is a diagonally downward kick in midair. Useful.
Gekkosa
Jump, d, u + A
Shortcut: jump + AB
1 hit maximum
Gekkosa is a Senkouga flip in midair.
Ryugekidan
df + A
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
A sliding kick.
Sei-Ryugekidan
f,f,df + A
1 hit maximum
A long-range sliding kick.
Banki-mosyukem
HCB, HCT + B
Shortcut: u + AB
7 hits maximum
Desperation move
An array of attacks, ended by a Shouzan.
Emma-ressyusai
d, HCUT, d + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
Secret move
11 hits maximum
Sho spins his blade over his head for awhile and then finishes with a Shouzan.
Jigokumon
QCT, QCT + AB
No shortcut
11 hits maximum
Scorcher Mode only
Sho dashes at the opponent and, upon impact, starts hacking away with his sword
while he and the opponent slowly ascend. I like to call it the Weed Whacker
(you'll see why when you pull it off).
Shuraakazan
QCB, f + B
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Scorcher Mode only
A counter-attack. Sho does what looks like his taunt, and if he is attacked
while in that position, he blocks and performs a Shishouzan. VERY useful if the
opponent pulls off a move that is hard to block.
Throw/Hold
Sho does a back-slam to the opponent.
Knockdown Attack
Sho slashes with his sword.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Gaia II /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Gaia II entered the tournament to teach Uranus a lesson.
Gaia II is basically Gaia without the armor, and with a LOT more moves. Some of
his moves are pretty powerful. He has no projectile attacks, but most of his
moves are long-range.
Weapon: Sword
Moves:
Botan
HCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
4 hits maximum
Gaia II exhales a short-range flame. Can be done in two different directions
depending on if button is tapped or pressed.
Ougimo
QCB + B
Shortcut: d + AB
1 hit maximum
Gaia II makes a whipping motion with his sword. Not very useful.
Tsubame-Okadi
Z> + B
No shortcut
2 hits maximum
Gaia II lunges across the screen with his sword. Very long range.
Obikoro
QCB + A
Shortcut: b + AB
0 hits maximum
A long jump forward, good for switching sides with opponent or dodging a hard-
to-dodge move.
Tsukinowai
b,f + B
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
A sword slash almost identical to Gaia II's knockdown attack. Not useful or
powerful.
Goukano-Kurenai
HCB,HCT + B
Shortcut: u + AB
20 hits maximum
Desperation move
A QUICK 20-hitter. Gaia II slides on his feet at the opponent and kicks major
butt. He hits them so fast that they burn after Gaia II's done.
Maryuu-jin
u,ub,b,db,d,df,f + B
Shortcut: u + ab
4 hits maximum
Secret move
Gaia II pulls off four normal moves automatically. Exciting.
Igar-ashi
u,ub,b,db,d,df,d + A
No shortcut
? hits maximum
Secret move
I have never gotten this move to work myself, but I have seen a computer-
controlled Gaia II pull it off. Gaia II jumps and lands on the opponent's head
and kind of starts running in place on him like it's a NordicTrack.
Batsou
QCT,QCT + AB
No shortcut
7 hits maximum
Secret move
Gaia II jumps up into the air and drills diagonally down with his sword.
Igoukinai
f,b,f,b + AB
No shortcut
13 hits maximum
Scorcher Mode only
Gaia II rolls at his opponent and does an array of moves, ending with a Botan.
Throw/Hold
Gaia II grabs the opponent and torches them with a Botan.
Knockdown Attack
Gaia II slashes at his opponent.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Eiji /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Eiji is an adventurer who travels the world in search of his missing brother. It
is rumored that someone in the tournament may know his whereabouts. Eiji is
determined to find him!
Eiji is the all-around character of the game, like Ryu and Ken are to Street
Fighter. He is somewhat good, but he only has one or two moves that Sho doesn't
have. Sho is a much better choice.
Weapon: Byakko Sword
Moves:
Rekkuzan
QCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
1 hit maximum
Eiji throws a fireball. Exciting.
Hishouzan
Z> + B
Shortcut: d + AB
3 hits maximum

Eiji dashes at the opponent and starts hacking away at him/her with his sword.
Same as Sho's Jigokumon.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Kayin /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
As a fighter, Kayin is feared and respected by all. His world is his
battlefield. His desire is to win the tournament. Kayin will not rest until the
victory is his.
Sho taught Kayin and Eiji everything they know. As is the case with Eiji, Sho is
a much better choice.
Weapon: Sword
Moves:
Sonic Slash
QCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
1 hit maximum
Kayin shoots a projectile.

Shortcut: d + AB

/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

stopped.

5 hits maximum
Secret move
A powered-up Rattlesnake.
Jewelry Shower
HCT + A
No shortcut

just jumps at them. Very cool.
Thunder Ring (in air)
jump,QCB + B
Shortcut: jump + AB
1 hit maximum
Scorcher Mode only

will go diagonally down. If you tap B, it will be horizontal.
Thunder Ring (to air)
Z> + B
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Scorcher Mode only
Sofia shoots a Thunder Ring diagonally upwards. The direction depeds on if you
tap or press B.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Fo /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
A 107-year-old master of black magic, Fo seems like a harmless old man. In fact,
thousands of men have been sacrificed at the tips of his shiny metal blades. At
the tournament, he plans to "paint the town red."
Fo has some powerful moves, despite the fact that he's 107 years old. He has no
similar character (unlike Eiji), so he is unique.
Weapon: Metal Claws
Moves:
Mystic Sphere
HCB + B
Shortcut: f + AB
5 hits maximum
Fo puts out a huge sphere. This sphere is used in many of his moves.
Pagoda Kick
QCB + A
Shortcut: d + AB
1 hit maximum
A rising kick.
Sphere Burst
jump, HCB + B
Shortcut: jump + AB
1 hit maximum
Fo does a Mystic Sphere in the air. You can do it as many times as you want on
one jump.
Travelling Sphere
Z< + B
Shortcut: b + AB
10 hits maximum
Fo jumps up on a sphere and rolls it at the opponent. Long-range. You can only
get 10 hits if you tap B after the motion instead of pressing it.
Claw Attack
Z> + B
No shortcut
3 hits maximum
Fo extends his claw at the opponent.
Wind Breaker
HCUB + AB
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
haha... It looks like the old geezer has gas... Although that's probably not
what it is.
Mystic Sphere Burst
f,HCF,b + B
Shortcut: u + AB
4 hits maximum
Desperation move
Fo shoots 3 projectile Mystic Spheres at the opponent, and then he jumps at them
and does a Sphere Burst.
Ultra Wind Breaker
b,f,b,f + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
1 hit maximum
Secret move
A powered-up Wind Breaker.
Ren-Fo
QCT + A
Chi-Fo
QCT + B
Ten-Fo
QCT + AB
3 hits maximum
Scorcher Mode only
These three moves are to be done one right after the other.
Hitting [QCT + A] makes Fo slide-kick the opponent. Right after the slide-kick,
hitting [QCT + B] makes Fo do a standing claw uppercut. This knocks the opponent
high into the air. While the opponent is airborne, hitting [QCT + AB] makes Fo
do a Pagoda Kick, except on impact, he grabs them and slams them down to the
ground. He stays on top of the opponent for awhile, then back-flips off.
Undoubtedly THE coolest move in the game. The Ren-Fo can be done separately as a
single move.
Claw Slide
d + B
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
Fo slides at the opponent on his stomach. Long-range.
Hop-Kick
Tap A
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Fo hops at his opponent with his foot extended. Not particularly useful.
Roundhouse Kick
Press A
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
The name says it all.
Double Roundhouse
d + press A
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Again, the name says it all.
Claw Uppercut
(right next to opponent) B
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
A move identical to the Chi-Fo.
Throw/Hold
Fo grabs the opponent, lifts them into the air, and slams them over his back.
Knockdown Attack
Fo slices with one of his claws. (what did you expect?)
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Rungo /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
After discovering uranium in his mine, Rungo has become the target of many
organizations. Rungo will do whatever he can to protect his family and his mine.
I personally hate Rungo's guts. He has no cool moves and has a stupid weapon. If
he would've just read the letter that he thought was an invitation to the
tournament, he wouldn't be here (beat the game with him on Normal or higher and
you'll see why).
Weapon: Club
Moves:
Fire Wave
QCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
1 hit maximum
Rungo slams the ground and a shockwave is created that slides along the ground.
Power Thrust
Z> + A
Shortcut: d + AB
1 hit maximum
Rungo jumps up at a 45-degree angle.
Batter Up
HCB + B
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Rungo dashes at the opponent and swings his club straight up.
Fire Strike
QCT, b + B
Shortcut: b + AB
1 hit maximum
Rungo slams the ground and a rock flies straight up.
Mega Fire Strike
HCT,HCB + B
Shortcut: u + AB
1 hit maximum
Desperation move
Rungo slams the ground and a wave of rocks slide at the opponent. Nearly
impossible to dodge.
Mega Brutal Stomper
u,ub,HCT + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
Secret move
Rungo lunges at the opponent, hits them a few times, and finishes with a Power
Thrust.
Hyper Batter Up
Z< + AB
No shortcut
1 hit maximum
Scorcher Mode only
For this move, you must hold AB and then release it when you want to. While AB
is held, Rungo is vulnerable to attacks. Hard to dodge when carried out, but you
can prevent it by approaching Rungo while the buttons are held and performing a
throw/hold.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Ellis /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Hearing a rumor that her missing father might be alive, Ellis entered last
year's tournament in hopes of finding him. It was then that she discovered that
her real father was Gaia. She entered this year's tournament hoping to meet him.
Ellis is VERY powerful. She has a nice assortment of moves, and she is the
fastest fighter. She is also the highest jumper (next to Uranus). Also, most of
her normal moves are double-hitters, and her crouching moves are almost all
long-range. A fighter worth considering.
Weapon: Twin Knives
Moves:
Tornado
QCB + A
Shortcut: f + AB
0 hits maximum
The Tornado is a move identical to Gaia II's Obikoro, except Ellis can perform
other moves while in the air. The Arc Slash is a nice move to combine with this.
Flaming Crescent
Z> + B
Shortcut: d + AB
3 hits maximum
The Flaming Crescent is a move identical to Sho's Shouzan and Eiji's Hishouzan.
Arc Slash
Jump, QCB + B
Shortcut: jump, d + AB
1 hit maximum
The Arc Slash is an air-dive. Nothing else to say about it.
Air Dance
QCB + A
Shortcut: jump + AB
1 hit maximum
The Air Dance is identical to Kayin's Scottish Moon and Sho's Gekkosa.
Ribbon Toss
HCUB + AB
Shortcut: b + AB
1 hit maximum
Ellis throws her ribbon. Not very exciting.
French Kiss
f,b,f,b + B
Shortcut: u + AB
9 hits maximum
Desperation move
Ouch. This move is one of the best in the game. No fighter is safe. Ellis jumps
OVER the blocking victim, hitting four times, and then hits them from behind
about 5 times. It's a killer. It's also almost impossible to block.
Stardust Night
df,db,df,b,f + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
4 hits maximum
Secret move
Ellis hits the opponent a couple of times, jumps, dives at them, then hits them
some more. The dive and the hits following it can get a blocking opponent.
Pretty Dance
(close to opponent) HCT + A
No shortcut
8 hits maximum
Scorcher Mode only
This one hurts too. A quick 8-hitter that sends the opponent high into the air.
You can add to the hit count if you do an air-juggle, but Ellis can only do one
or two air-juggles because she jumps so high.
Ballet
d + tap B
no shortcut
3 hits maximum
d + press B
no shortcut
3 hits maximum
The Ballet variations are two low-hitting moves. For the first one, Ellis slides
at the opponent with her knees. For the second, she jumps at the opponent with
both feet. Both are nice.
Ballet Jab
d + B
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
Ellis dashes at the opponent and ends with a standing uppercut.
Throw/Hold
Ellis grabs the opponent, jumps over them, hits them, and sends them flying
backwards.
Knockdown Attack
Ellis lunges at the opponent with her butt.
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
/ Uranus /
/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Uranus entered the tournament to show Gaia II that she could fight. Gaia II
entered the tournament to stop her.
Uranus is a VERY good fighter. She has some cool moves, and she can fly. She can
jump REALLY high, too. She has eight (!) different projectiles and most of her
moves are long-range.
Weapon: None, unless you count her wings
Moves:
Hover
jump + A
no shortcut
0 hits maximum
Uranus hovers for a set period of time.
Angel Rage (high)
QCT + B
Shortcut: b + AB
Angel Rage (low)
QCT + A
No shortcut
1 hit maximum if you tap the button, 2 hits maximum if you hold it
The Angel Rage is a double-projectile move. Uranus shoots two arrows with her
bow.
Angel Rage (high, short-range)
b/f + B
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
This move is a slow-moving, short-range, single arrow.
Angel Rage (low, short-range)
d + B
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
Same as high version, except low (duh).
Angel Rage (air)
d + A
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
A diagonally-upwards arrow. Good for nailing airborne opponents.
Angel Rage (bomb, straight down)
jump/hover + tap B
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
Angel Rage (bomb, diagonally down)
jump + press B
The Angel Rage "bombs" are nice for attacking while hovering. Useful.
Divine Fury
Z> + A
Shortcut: d + AB
1 hit maximum
Uranus flies up at a 45-degree angle. Another nice move for hitting airborne
opponents.
Fire Hawk
f,b,f,b + B
Shortcut: f + AB
3 hits maximum
Uranus dashes at the opponent. Long range.
Phoenix
QCT, HCT + B
Shortcut: u + AB
1 hit maximum
Desperation move
Uranus blasts out a huge projectile. Not exceptionally powerful, but hard to
dodge.
Cockatrice
QCT, QCT + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
Secret move
20 hits maximum
Uranus puts out a small spark. Hard to hit an opponent with, but worth it if you
can.
Talon
(next to opponent) A
no shortcut
1 hit maximum
Uranus slides at the opponent. Functions the same as Mondo's Puujin Shohinkai.
Also works if opponent is right above you.
Throw/Hold
Uranus grabs the opponent and flies straight up out of the screen with him/her.
You see the opponent fall down out of the sky, and then Uranus slams down on
`em. Very cool.
Knockdown Attack
Uranus kicks the opponent across the screen. Not particularly exciting.

Gaia's identity is a mystery. His power, however, is well known. Warriors cringe
at the mere sight of him. Defeating Gaia will not be an easy task!
For some strange reason, the whole game kind of "revolves" around Gaia's armor.
I have no idea why. At the beginning, he gets armor that is supposed to enable
him to beat any opponent. Almost every win quote that is associated with him
talks about his armor. And at the end, he can't get the armor off. Weird. His
armor doesn't help him worth crap!! He has the same amount of energy as anyone
else... He also has all of 5 moves. (5 whole moves?! Whooaa...) Not a good
choice of a player.
Weapon: Armor, Sword, talons protruding from shoulders
Moves:
Red Fire
QCT + B
Shortcut: f + AB
4 hits maximum
Four fireballs aimed diagonally down. Hard to block.
Blue Water
Z> + B
Shortcut: d + AB
3 hits maximum
A powerful projectile that's hard to dodge, like all of Gaia's other
projectiles.
Green Wind
QCB + A
Shortcut: b + AB
8 hits maximum
Gaia projects a spark identical to Uranus's Cockatrice.
Dark Finish
HCB, f + B
Shortcut: u + AB
2 hits maximum
Desperation move
Gaia shoots a huge fireball that's nearly impossible to dodge.
Bad End
df,db,df,b,f + AB
Shortcut: u + ab
12 hits maximum
Secret move
Gaia spins toward the opponent with his sword outstretched. Also hard to dodge.
Throw/Hold
Gaia grabs the opponent And tosses them into the air. Not very exciting. But,
you can attack the opponent as he/she comes down.
Knockdown Attack
Gaia slashes with his sword. Yay.

Hoo boy... This game isn't at all short of these. Here are all of them.
During the Ellis demo (at the beginning of the game, after the Takara logo),
press [right, left, A, B]. You now have access to Gaia and Sho as players. There
is no indication that you did it right.
During the Ellis demo, press [up, down, A, B, right, left, A, B]. You can now
play as Gaia, Gaia II, Uranus, and Sho. You will hear an explosion to confirm
the code.
Press [select, select, select] while the Takara logo is displayed to access
Scorcher Mode. Scorcher Mode allows you to perform Desperation moves at any
time, and allows you access to new special moves for most players.
At the title screen (when it says to press Start), press [up, up, select, A,
down, down, select, B]. You will hear a beep and the title will turn blue. This
code only works on Super Game Boy. You will play in Jet Mode, where all the
action is faster than normal.
During the Takara logo screen, press [B, A, left, right, B, A, down, up, B, A].
A new screen will come up. You can now display all the dialogue of the game
(character win quotes, endings, etc.). There are 208 of them altogether
(including 0).
To fight Gaia II in a 1-player game, you must finish off two opponents with a
Secret or Desperation move in the final match with that particular person. To
fight Sho, you must finish off two more the same way after facing Gaia II. (Let
me warn you, Sho is nearly impossible to beat on Hard or Expert mode. Gaia II is
a cinch.)

Ellis entered the tournament to look for her lost father. Uranus had told her
that Gaia was the one Ellis was looking for. When Ellis finally finds him, he
denies that he is her father and runs off. He left because he was ashamed of his
costume. Ellis thinks the costume is stupid too.
Ellis meets up with Kayin after the tournament and talks with him for awhile.
Sho and Eiji are brothers. Sho is a wanderer, and Eiji has been continuously
looking for him. They finally meet at the tournament.
Kayin and Eiji were trained together by Sho.
Gaia and Gaia II are the same person, but Gaia II entered the tournament to show
Uranus a thing or two. Gaia really had no reason to enter the tournament except
for the fact that he wanted to win it.
Duke and Eiji were fighting one day and Duke lost. Duke entered the tournament
seeking a rematch with Eiji.
Fo entered the tournament to fight Uranus because he heard that she was on the
move again.
