which lasts for 3 seconds or until you release the Action button. Assault
Blows will knock an opponent into the air, leaving them vulnerable to a

- For Card-edit characters, the Action button will be used for the Character

to hit the opponent on the ground after a knockdown. Some
attacks will pop the opponent back into the air.

1 Chiaki doesn`t attack with her 7~9P. It`s more of a quick jump to get over
attacks or the opponent. She will only jump forward.
2 Launches, but Chiaki doesn`t recover fast enough to hit with anything
except an (otg).
3 Chiaki recovers fast enough to catch an opponent during their knockback.
This is easier if the opponent is in the corner, and Chiaki will be close
enough to wall juggle.
4 During this attack, Chiaki flips forward while curled in a ball. If it
misses or is guarded, Chiaki falls to the ground on her back, leaving her
vulnerable. However if you press 7~9P_K the instant Chiaki touches the
ground, she will not fall and instead quick recover with the jumping move.
During her flip, Chiaki can do her Banzai Double Punch: Hakane Mikounin by
pressing P + K.
If Chiaki hits with the attack, she rebounds off the opponent into the air.
At her apex she flips and lands to her feet. Depending on how you hit the
opponent, there will be a few frames of animation before she reaches the
apex that you are able to input the command for her Kuuten Hou or Banzai
Double Punch. Once she reaches her apex and starts to land, you can`t input
any commands.

Cultivated with a special education of a genuine hand-to-hand fighting art, as
well as a self-taught arrangement added now into its model. He has no interest
in the prize, but has a weakness held for Marry, and ends up being threatened
against his will to participate in this latest survival game. It appears that
Marry and him have had an undesireable but inseperable relationship since
childhood.

Mark attempts to attack toward the opponent`s legs as he descends. However,
sometimes he won`t quite reach (for some reason) and land just in front of
them.
If Mark hits with the attack, he rebounds off the opponent into the air. If
it`s guarded, he will land in front of the opponent.

The world leading financial group, the Phillips Family daughter who single-
handedly managed the Phillips Konzern. ("Konzern" is a German term for a group
of companies.) She was the sponsor of the hand-to-hand fighting tournament
called P.O.S. (Power Of Solid) which was held two years ago, but a curse would
take huge investments and received a hijacking by Merkuar. Since then, she has
hidden herself from the world while living her life everyday as a laborer in a
mining facility to temper her body. Now she participates for the sake of taking
back the Phillips Konzern in the latest survival game.

1 Marry _seemingly_ has two different standing punches for her 5P. The normal
attack is her quick punch with her left hand. The alternate 5P is a step in
extended punch, which is the same as her second punch attack in her P,P,P,K
Combination Technique. I had believed I might have somehow accidentally hit
Punch twice in a row to get it. But out of some trial and error, Marry does
attack with it in a weird and random rotation. Even if you wait a while in
between attacks, she will sometimes do the extended punch. It`s as if it`s
a delayed continuation from a previous attack. A glitch maybe? The extended
punch also does slightly more damage than the normal version, maybe 1-2%
more depending on the character. As stated above, the extended punch is
from her P,P,P,K chain. If you get it, you can press P,K after and Marry
will finish off the chain as normal. Both versions of her 5P is high.
2 Marry recovers fast enough to catch an opponent during their knockback, but
will only be able to juggle them against the corner.

without a trace. He participates in this latest survival game naturally with
his aim on the prize. Will the dream of dojo reconstruction this time be
actualization?

The Air Catch can grab opponents that are jumping, or those that have been
thrown into the air by Reymond himself (ie - Air Throw, Giant Bazooka).
They have to be about Reymond`s head-level to be grabbed.
Command input for the Air Catch must be perfect. Keep in mind that he also
has a 63214 + P throw. If you put in the half-circle motion instead of a
quarter-circle, he will do a missed Backbone Break instead.
6 Unblockable. Knockdown attack. Can (otg) after.
Opposite of the Air Catch, the Down Throw grabs opponents who have been
knocked to the ground. The instruction book suggests that the Down Throw
can only be done when the opponent`s legs are facing Reymond. I have found
this to not be correct. For instance, if you hit an opponent with Reymond`s
3P in the corner, their head will be facing Reymond and he can still grab
them with the Down Throw.
Like the Air Catch, command input for the Down Throw must be perfect too
because of Reymond`s 63214 + P throw. If you put in the half-circle motion
instead of a quarter-circle, he will do a missed Backbone Break instead.
7 Knockdown attack.

EX RICKEY ( 5.13 )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EX Rickey is a secret character that is a powered-up version of Rickey Leon.
There are a few noticable differences between the two versions of Rickey that
I have listed below about the characters as a whole. Specific move or attack
mechanics are listed in the sections as normal:
* Normal Rickey (N-Rickey) and EX Rickey can be thought of as Ryuu and Gouki
from the "Street Fighter" series, respectively. EX Rickey does ~7-10% more
damage than N-Rickey with his basic attacks and throw. The damage varies
between their special attacks. However EX Rickey also takes ~40-50% more
damage than N-Rickey on each hit done to him. One Hagane combo I used to
test will do exactly 50% damage to N-Rickey, but 75% to EX Rickey.
* EX Rickey is _very_ slightly slower than N-Rickey in walking. You won`t
ever notice it unless you have the two walk forward against each other,
then you`ll see N-Rickey edge EX Rickey barely.
* EX Rickey`s 1K launches the opponent higher than N-Rickey`s version. So
much in fact EX Rickey can recover and juggle with it, unlike N-Rickey.
(EX Rickey can easily juggle with his Machine Gun Pile after 1K.)
* Juggling an opponent with EX Rickey`s Machine Gun Pile (P,P,P) causes the
opponent to fly across the stage and hit the far back corner when they are
hit with the final lightning punch, as opposed to N-Rickey that knocks
them back to roll against the ground. (This same lightning punch is also
in his Lightning Pile (6P,4P) but will not cause the same knockback.) This
allows EX-Rickey to combo in his Lightning Wave since they are knocked so
high into the air.
* EX Rickey`s Lightning Charge is a flying kick, as opposed to N-Rickey`s
cannonball-type air roll. EX Rickey`s version will only hit after he
reaches the apex of his arc, when he starts to kick his legs. (While he
kicks several times, the attack only hits once.) However EX Rickey`s
Lightning Charge has no startup, while N-Rickey`s charges a moment.
* EX-Rickey`s Lightning Volt is basically N-Rickey`s fully charged up
version, and has all of its properties. It can`t be charged up more.
* EX-Rickey`s Lightning Wave does less damage and doesn`t hit as many times
as N-Rickey`s version, but comes out slighty faster.
* EX Rickey advances first before attacking for his Judgement Thunderbolt.

SIEGUEI ( 5.14 )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An android which was build with motif of a Japanese spy "NINJA". Merkuar`s
personal bodyguard as well as emissary, subversive activities, and
assassination are its main activity contents. Characterized by attacks which
make use of kunai (throwing knives) and a wire, and quick movements with its
arms. It has no display of emotion, and talks very little.

1 Unblockable. Knockdown attack. Can (otg) after. Throws opponent on opposite
side they were on prior.
2 Knockdown attack. Can (otg) after.
3 A teleport move. Sieguei sinks into the ground and advances forward about
1/3 the full stage distance. He will only advance forward, and can`t be
controlled when he appears again. Sieguei is invincible when he emerges,
and can guard and attack the moment he is back in stance. If he is close
enough to the opponent, he will teleport to the opposite side of them.
4 Can follow with Kugutsu Tsuriage or Kugutsu Sune Gari.
Stuns opponent for two seconds; the hit will catch the opponent`s leg. They
will not be able to manually break stun.
The catch from the wire does no damage.
Even though Sieguei throws the wire along the ground, the attack is high.
This is a somewhat odd mechanic: The wire can sometimes hit an opponent for
an (otg), but will not stun or catch them. However if Sieguei hits the
opponent first with another (otg) attack, like his 2K, then 2-in-1 into the
Kugutsu, it will catch but will not stun. The opponent will stand up off
the ground like normal and then the wire breaks. Until that point since the
wire is technically attached to them, you can input one of the follow-up
attacks to add.
5 Knockdown attack. Throws opponent on opposite side they were on prior.
6 Knockdown attack. Can (otg) after (if opponent`s in corner).
Sends opponent across screen.
7 Must be guarded low.
Can be used as an (otg), but will not stun the opponent.
Tracks the position of the opponent.
Stuns opponent for two seconds; the hit will catch the opponent`s foot.
They will not be able to manually break stun. Opponent can be launched, but
not thrown. If the kunai hits a crouching opponent, they will not be
stunned.
8 Knockdown attack. Can (otg) after.
Must be guarded high.
9 Unblockable. Knockdown attack. Can (otg) after. Throws opponent on opposite
side they were on prior.
Since Sieguei`s Super Blow is a command throw, missing the grab will not
diminish its Gauge Levels.

REVISION HISTORY ( 6.04 )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v. 1.oo / o4 - 22 - 2011
- Once again I am going through the gauntlet of a lot of my old FAQs to redo
them into a much more professional format. Critical Blow is a game I had
some fun with and threw a FAQ together fast when I was a newbie at this type
of thing. I`ve far since gotten better at writing FAQs, so now I`m coming
back to relaunch this properly. Trust me, the old FAQ was _horrible_. No one
will read this FAQ though, because I highly doubt people even know this is
even a game. Still it makes me feel better that I did this anyway after
almost 13 years. I`m weird that way. FAQ is missing some information that
I`ll add in the next version.
v. o.oo / o6 - 23 - 1998
- FAQ initial launch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL WORD ( 6.05 )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oss`!
I`ve made a lot random purchases for games over the years without doing any
type of research on them. Some have been very bad, but others have surprised
me in how great they were and just managed to fall underneath the radar.
Sadly, Critical Blow is not one of those games, but it is entertaining. I got
most of my fun out of performing crazy juggles, and the Card system was a nice
touch even though I wasn`t able to read a lot of the kanji back when I first
picked it up. Now that I`m replaying it again, it is still entertaining to do
75% corner juggles with ease.
Have something to say about the game or this FAQ you want me or others to
know? Find any of the above information wrong or misleading? Or maybe you
have info or extras to add onto what`s posted. Whatever the case is, feel
free to send it! Anything that is posted within the FAQ, you not only get
full credit. Oh no no! You also receive unauthorized bragging rights that
give you the Almighty-given gift of annoying the hell out of people with.
.. By the way, thanks for reading!
Sayounara, adios, ciao, xie xie, au revoir, and all that other crap. ^_^
