It's part of the anime world.  They gather their energy from within and use 
it in the form of fireballs. Besides fireballs you can do other special 
moves.  Not all anime based games are the same.

I've played the games enough.  Virtual Fighter 3 was so easy. The fighting 
nd
controls are bad.  Now the Tekken series esepcially 2 & 3 kick ass. They have 
tons of moves and combos that any of those crappy virtual figher games and 
fighting vipers has. I really like King's grabbing kombos on Tekken 3.  I 
can't wait till 3 comes out for PSX.  I also want to get Streetfighter EX 
Plus.  Do you know if it's out yet?  I haven't seen it anywhere.
