 >>> Part 2 of 19...
all throws vs. crouching opponents end in (P+K+G). Does this mean that every
high throw is escapable? We are yet to see.
        * Pouncing: to pounce on a downed enemy you now must do (d,u+P).
        * Dashing: dashing can be accomplished by two procedures. The first
is the same as in VF2, f,F. The new method is F+E. Forward can be exchanged
for backward in both examples.
        * New animation: missed throw and missed reversal animation. No
more cheesy "auto-select" crap.
d)general moves
E or u+E            Dodge into screen
d+E                 Dodge out of screen

Moves:
MOVE NAME                       MOVE MOTION              LEVEL
___------------------------------------------------------------
Punch-Kick Combo                P, K                     HH
(kansuitai)
        This combo doesn't knock down anymore, it just pushes
        the opponent back.
Going to Open                   P, P                     HM
   The Eight Gates
(Hachimonkaida)
        Knocks down on counter.
Elbow                           f+P                      M*
(jouho-chouchuu)
        Good old VF2 elbow.  I think it still retains the
        stance dependency from VF2: closed stance-high and
        open stance-mid.  Knocks down on counter.
Dashing Elbow                   f, f+P                   M
(rimon-chouchuu)
        You know it, you love it.  I heard in the beta version
        the dashing elbow recovery time was increased.  But in the
        beta version this move was f+P.  The Japanese name of this
        move translates to "High Elbow Advancing through the Entry".
        Knocks down on counter.         
Super Dashing Elbow             f, f, f+P                M 
(yakuho-chouchuu)
        Changes stance, just like VF2.  Air combo possible
        if this move floats, again like in VF2. 
Walking Shocker                 b, f+P                   H
(jouho-joujou)
        Akira pushes out his palm in front of him from a standing
        position.  Effective against a drunken Shun getting up
        from the ground.
Single Jump Kick                f, f+K                   M  
(migitankyaku)
Double Jump Kick                f, f+K, K                M 
(renkantai)
        It's both the same as VF2.
Single Palm                     D_, f+P                  M 
(moukokouhazan)
        This move is reversed high.  If AKira performs this move
        close to a defending opponent, the opponent will have a
        difficult time retaliating effectively.
Double Palm                     D_, b, f+P               M
(byakkosoushoda)
        Except for Taka, knocks down opponent if hits.
        Afterimages produced.  Good possibility Akira
        may be thrown if the move is guarded against.
        Timing might be different than from VF2.
Rising Gun                      d/f, d/f+P               M
(youhou)
        Now improved with afterimages.  If by some ungodly
        miracle you actually hit someone with this, go for
        your favourite air combo.
 
Body Check                      b, f, f+P+K              M
(tetsuzankou)
        Huge damage but Akira gets smacked if the opponent
        blocks it.
Seeking to Collaspe from Below  d/f+P+K                  L
(soukahousui)
        Akira takes a move from Jerky's playbook by mimicing
        Jerky's patented low backfist.  Akira hits the opponent
        in the knees.  Slow to execute; knocks down on counter.
        Akira remains crouching afterwards.
Crumbling the High Mountain     b, f+P+K                 M 
(chouzanhousui)
        Produces afterimage on execution.  (Joyous).  Hits mid
        against a forward opponent but hits high against a turned
        arounded opponent.  Big damage but slow execution time.
        Counterattack by opponent is unlikely if he blocks the
        move.  Go see this move at
