--------------
01. THE BASICS
--------------

Menu Controls
=============

       A Button    Choose/Confirm

       B Button    Cancel/Go Back

       R Trigger   Fast Scrolling
                   Hold the R trigger to scroll faster on screens with
                   long lists/categories.


In-Game Controls
================

       X Button    Weak
                   Used for weak strikes and holds. The exact move
                   varies depending on situation.

       A Button    Medium
                   Used for medium strikes and holds. The exact move
                   varies depending on situation.

       B Button    Strong
                   Used for strong strikes and holds. The exact move
                   varies depending on situation.

       Y Button    Run/Weapon
                   This will allow you to voluntarily run (as opposed
                   to being Hammer Thrown).
                   When outside of the ring, stand close to the ring
                   apron and press Y + direction toward the ring to
                   grab a weapon from underneath the ring.
                   If/when a weapon is dropped on the ground, it may be
                   picked up again by standing "above" it and pressing
                   Y + D-Pad Down.
                   NOTE: In the Fluorescent Lights Deathmatch, you can
                   grab the lights off of the boards on the corners by
                   pressing Y + direction toward the corner. The light
                   can then be shattered over the head of an opponent.

       D-Pad       Walk
                   The D-Pad directions are relative to the screen
                   (Ex. pressing D-Pad Up will walk into the depth, or
                   "toward the top of the screen")

       L Trigger   Breathe/Tag
                   Hold Breathe to catch your breath and avoid fatigue
                   during a match. Knowing when and where to use this
                   is part of the strategy.
                   In Tag Matches, press L + D-Pad toward a partner,
                   who is standing on the apron, to tag out.

       R Trigger   3D Walk
                   Holding 3D Walk will modify the D-Pad directions so
                   that they are first-person perspective rather than
                   relative to the screen.
                   (Ex. Holding 3D Walk and pressing D-Pad Up will walk
                   forward in your wrestler's point-of-view)

       Analog      Performance
                   Every wrestler has up to four different Performances
                   (taunts/poses). Each one is triggered by one of the
                   Analog Stick's four directions: LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and
                   DOWN. Some wrestlers may have a taunt assigned to
                   more than one direction.

       Start       Pause the game.
                   Pause Menu:
                     1. Continue
                     2. Mode Select (Exit to Main Menu)
                    If you choose Mode Select, you will be asked:
                     OK? (to exit the match)
                      1. Yes
                      2. No

Gameplay System
===============

The exact move your wrestler will execute depends on the wrestler's own
move set and fighting style. However, the method used in order to
perform those moves are universal.

As a general rule, the moves you use should gradually advance from your
weakest to your strongest over the course of the match. Doing strong
moves at the opening of the match will usually be reversed/countered,
but depending on the specific circumstance, it may actually work,
although it is not recommended. The flow of a typical Fire Pro match
simulates that of a properly worked pro wrestling match.

**Striking
    Striking moves are done by simply pressing the attack buttons. Over
    time, players should become familiar with the distance at which you
    must stand from the opponent in order to land striking moves
    properly. Different strikes will reach different distances.

       [When standing, opponent also standing]
           1. X (Weak Strike)
           2. A (Medium Strike)
           3. B + D-Pad in any direction (Strong Strike #1)
           4. B (Strong Strike #2)
           5. X + A simultaneously (Strong Strike #3)

**Grappling
    Simply walk into your opponent to grapple. The moment the two
    wrestlers make contact, you will hear a small "smack" sound effect.
    Be the first to press a button or button+direction at/after the
    sound to win the grapple (which move is actually done will depend
    on which button or button+direction was pressed by that player).
    For beginners, it may seem hard at first, but once you are familiar
    with it, the timing becomes a completely natural reaction.

    NOTE: Repeated pressing a button rapidly will NOT win a grapple, it
    can cause you to lose it.

    Counters/reversals depend on many factors: in many cases, if an
    opponent is not worn down enough to take a big move, it will be
    countered/reversed automatically. If the two wrestlers press
    simultaneously, you will go into a Test of Strength -- the only
    instance where "button mashing" has any effect in this gameplay
    system.

       [Front Grapple]
        If you grapple an opponent facing you.
           1. X (Weak Front Grapple Move #1)
           2. X + D-Pad UP (Weak Front Grapple Move #2)
           3. X + D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT (Weak Front Grapple Move #3)
           4. X + D-Pad DOWN (Weak Front Grapple Move #4)
           5. A (Medium Front Grapple Move #1)
           6. A + D-Pad UP (Medium Front Grapple Move #2)
           7. A + D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT (Medium Front Grapple Move #3)
           8. A + D-Pad DOWN (Medium Front Grapple Move #4)
           9. B (Strong Front Grapple Move #1)
          10. B + D-Pad UP (Strong Front Grapple Move #2)
          11. B + D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT (Strong Front Grapple Move #3)
          12. B + D-Pad DOWN (Strong Front Grapple Move #4)
          13. X + A simultaneously (Strong Front Grapple Move #5)
            * Y (Hammer Throw, aka. Irish Whip)
              UNIVERSAL: Used to throw opponent to the ropes. However,
                         there are other variations to this depending
                         on your own position:
                          - Your back is facing a corner
                              This will cause you to throw the opponent
                              into the corner, so that they are hooked
                              on it. See Corner Grapple for more.
                          - Your back is up against ropes
                              You will throw your opponent out of the
                              ring. See High Flying Moves for more.
                          - OUTSIDE: Your back is up against the apron
                              You will throw your opponent back into
                              the ring.
            * R Trigger (Front Headlock)
              UNIVERSAL: Used to take control of the opponent and walk
                         wherever you please, useful to moving the
                         opponent to the center of the ring. There is a
                         new variation to this:
                          - Your back is up against the ropes
                              This will cause you to throw the opponent
                              out to the apron (not down to the floor).
                              This is useful for setting up an Apron
                              Grapple move, see Apron Grapple for more.
                         Also, in tag matches, you can tag out while
                         holding an opponent in the Front Headlock,
                         which can be useful for setting up double team
                         maneuvers.
       [Back Grapple]
        If you grapple an opponent facing away. This is usually only
        possible if the opponent is standing dazed, or is busy fighting
        others in a multiplayer situation (ie. Battle Royals).
           1. X (Weak Back Grapple Move)
           2. A (Medium Back Grapple Move)
           3. B (Strong Back Grapple Move #1)
           4. B + D-Pad UP/DOWN (Strong Back Grapple Move #2)
           5. B + D-Pad LEFT/RIGHT (Strong Back Grapple Move #3)
           6. X + A simultaneously (Strong Back Grapple Move #4)
            * Y (Hammer Throw, aka. Irish Whip)
              UNIVERSAL: See Front Grapple Y above.
            * R Trigger (Hold for double-team striking)
              UNIVERSAL: Used to hold the opponent's arms back,
                         allowing a partner to attack.
            * R Trigger + D-Pad UP (Shoulder Carry Setup)
              UNIVERSAL: Used to set opponent on your shoulders to
                         setup for double team moves, such as the Road
                         Warriors' Doomsday Device.
        When an opponent Back Grapples you, you can attempt to counter
        by pressing X or A. The timing for countering is the same as
        grappling offensively, as described at the top of this section.
       [Corner Grapple]
        When an opponent is hooked on the corner (see Front Grapple Y
        on throwing to corner) you can walk in and grapple them.
           1. B + D-Pad UP (Corner Grapple Move #1)
           2. B + D-Pad LEFT/RIGHT (Corner Grapple Move #2)
           3. B + D-Pad DOWN (Corner Grapple Move #3)
            * R Trigger (Tree of Woe)
              UNIVERSAL: Sets the opponent up in the "Tree of Woe"
                         (hooked upside-down on the corner).
       [Apron Grapple]
        This is a new category added in Fire Pro D. When an opponent is
        standing on the apron, walk into them to grapple just as you
        would for normal Front Grapple moves. See R Trigger under the
        Front Grapple section above for an easy way to get opponents
        out to the apron in order to setup for these moves.
           1. Press either X, A, or B (Inside Apron Grapple Move)
        When an opponent tries to perform an Apron Grapple, you can try
        to counter:
           1. Press either X, A, or B (Outside Apron Grapple Move)

**Running Attacks
    Voluntarily run by pressing Y.
       [Running Moves]
        When you are running.
           1. X (Running Attack #1)
           2. A (Running Attack #2)
       [Run Counters]
        When an opponent is running (either voluntarily or after being
        Hammer Thrown/Irish Whipped). Keep in mind that you are also
        vulnerable to Run Counters when you run voluntarily.
           1. X (Run Counter Move #1)
           2. A (Run Counter Move #2)
            * L Trigger (Dodge)
              UNIVERSAL: Used to dodge a running opponent. Depending on
                         your fighting style, this may be a leap frog
                         or drop to the mat. Done often in professional
                         wrestling particularly by Junior Heavyweights.
       [Corner Run]
        When an opponent is hooked on a corner (see Front Grapple Y on
        throwing to corner) you can run toward them for a move.
           1. B (Corner Run Attack)

**High Flying Moves
    High Flying Moves are not necessarily available to all wrestlers.
    Large heavyweights generally have less/no high flying moves while
    Luchadores generally have quite a few.
    For moves such as Missile Kicks, you can do them whether the
    opponent is dazed or not, although it would generally be wise to
    attempt such moves only when they are dazed.
       [Running Dive to Opponent Outside]
        When in the ring and an opponent is standing outside, run
        toward the ropes in the direction toward the opponent and hold
        the B button.
       [Slingshot to Opponent Outside]
        When in the ring and an opponent is standing outside, stand up
        against the ropes closest to the opponent and press B + D-Pad
        in the direction toward the opponent.
       [Slingshot from Apron to Opponent Inside]
        When standing on the apron and an opponent is in the ring,
        press B + D-Pad in the direction toward the opponent.
       [Corner Post Moves]
        Climb the corner by standing near it and pressing X or A +
        D-Pad in the direction toward it. All four corners can be
        climbed. You can also climb corners from the outside (commonly
        done by American heavyweights) by pressing X + D-Pad in the
        direction toward the corner when standing near it on the apron.
        Also, when standing on the apron, you can swing around a corner
        post to move to the apron on another side of the ring by
        pressing A + D-Pad in the direction toward the corner.
           1. X (Post Move #1)
           2. A (Post Move #2)
           3. B (Post Move #3)
           4. X + A simultaneously (Post Move #4)
        Which are aimed at standing opponents and which at downed
        opponents completely depends on each wrestler's moveset
        individually.
       [Run-Up Rebound Moves]
        Run toward a corner and hold the button.
           1. X (Run-Up Rebound Attack vs standing opponent)
           2. A (Run-Up Rebound Attack vs downed opponent)

**Downed Moves
    When an opponent is down, you can do grounded strikes and
    submissions by standing over them. For most pro wrestlers, at least
    one of these moves should be a pin, depending on his style. Shoot
    fighters and shoot style workers should not have a pin at all.
       [Standing at the HEAD of an opponent facing UP]
           1. A (Downed move #1)
           2. B (Downed move #2)
            * X (Pick up to feet by the hair/head)
              UNIVERSAL: If the opponent is worn down enough, this is a
                         way to set them up standing dazed in order to
                         perform strong strikes or back grapples.
            * R Trigger (Drag opponent)
              UNIVERSAL: Used along with any direction on the D-Pad to
                         drag a downed opponent around. Often used to
                         pull opponents away from the ropes to avoid a
                         rope break if Rope Check is on (see Match
                         Configuration).
       [Standing at the FEET of an opponent facing UP]
           1. A (Downed move #3)
           2. B (Downed move #4)
            * X (Roll over)
              UNIVERSAL: Roll opponent over to face down instead.
            * R Trigger (Drag opponent)
              UNIVERSAL: Used along with any direction on the D-Pad to
                         drag a downed opponent around. Often used to

                         rope break if Rope Check is on (see Match
                         Configuration).
       [Standing at the HEAD of an opponent facing DOWN]
           1. A (Downed move #5)
           2. B (Downed move #6)
            * X (Roll over)
              UNIVERSAL: Roll opponent over to face up instead.
            * R Trigger (Drag opponent)
              UNIVERSAL: Used along with any direction on the D-Pad to
                         drag a downed opponent around. Often used to
                         pull opponents away from the ropes to avoid a
                         rope break if Rope Check is on (see Match
                         Configuration).
       [Standing at the FEET of an opponent facing DOWN]
           1. A (Downed move #7)
           2. B (Downed move #8)
            * X (Pick up to feet by the tights)
              UNIVERSAL: If the opponent is worn down enough, this is a
                         way to set them up standing dazed in order to
                         perform strong strikes or back grapples.
            * R Trigger (Drag opponent)
              UNIVERSAL: Used along with any direction on the D-Pad to
                         drag a downed opponent around. Often used to
                         pull opponents away from the ropes to avoid a
                         rope break if Rope Check is on (see Match
                         Configuration).
       [Downed Running]
        Run toward a downed opponent and hold B.

**Multi-Teaming
    Double Teaming (Two Platon) and Triple Teaming (Three Platon) moves
    are done when more than one wrestler grapples an opponent. Such a
    situation may occur in Battle Royals or even Tag matches when
    partners are in the ring helping another partner. Situations
    for multi-teaming include:
        -Front Double Team (2 grapple an opponent from the front)
        -Front Triple Team (3 grapple an opponent from the front)
        -Back Double Team (2 grapple an opponent from behind)
        -Back Triple Team (3 grapple an opponent from behind)
        -Corner Double Team (2 corner-grapple an opponent)
        -Corner Triple Team (3 corner-grapple an opponent)

**Mount System
    Shoot-style mounting is available to most shoot fighters and some
    shoot-style workers. The way to mount varies between fighters,
    although it is usually assigned as one of the grapples and/or one
    of the downed moves.
       [Mount Position]
        In the normal mount position, wait for the opponent's legs to
        wrap around, that is your signal to press a button (similar to
        the come-into-contact moment of a normal grapple).
           1. X (Mount Position Move #1)
           2. A (Mount Position Move #2)
           3. B (Mount Position Move #3)
        If you are on the receiving end of a Mount, you can counter by
        pressing any of the three buttons (X, A, or B) at the signal.
        This will execute your Mount Position Counter Move.
       [Front Facelock Shoot Tackle Counter Position]
        When you counter a shooter's attempt to tackle you for a Mount
        Position, you will have him in a front facelock. You will
        struggle for a moment and then hear a small "smack" sound, that
        is your signal to press a button.
           1. X (Front Facelock Move #1)
           2. A (Front Facelock Move #2)
           3. B (Front Facelock Move #3)
        If you are on the receiving end of a Front Facelock, you can
        counter by pressing any of the three buttons (X, A, or B) at
        the signal. This will execute your Front Facelock Counter Move.
       [Back Mount Position]
        In the back mount position, wait for the mounting fighter to
        raise both fists, that is the ready position which is your
        signal to press a button.
           1. X (Back Mount Position Move #1)
           2. A (Back Mount Position Move #2)
           3. B (Back Mount Position Move #3)
        If you are on the receiving end of a Back Mount, you can
        counter by pressing any of the three buttons (X, A, or B) at
        the signal. This will execute your Back Mount Counter Move.

**Performance (Taunt/Pose)
    Performing can be useful depending on your wrestler's fighting
    style. Every wrestler has four different performances using the
    four directions on the Analog Stick.
           1. Analog Stick LEFT (Taunt/Pose #1)
           2. Analog Stick RIGHT (Taunt/Pose #2)
           3. Analog Stick UP (Taunt/Pose #3)
           4. Analog Stick DOWN (Taunt/Pose #4)

**Exiting and Entering the Ring
    To exit the ring to go out to the floor or entrance ramp, simply
    stand up against the ropes and press X + D-Pad in the direction
    toward the ropes. Do the same up against the ring apron to go back
    inside.
    Rather than exiting directly down to the floor, you can also exit
    out to the apron first by using A instead of X. Doing so again will
    jump down to the floor. Similarly, you can use A to climb up to the
    apron before going directly inside.

**Weapons
    To acquire a weapon, go outside to the floor, stand up against the
    ring apron, and press Y + D-Pad toward the ring to grab a weapon
    from underneath the ring.
    Weapons are dropped voluntarily by pressing Y again. They can also
    be dropped when grappling, when an opponent strikes, when an
    opponent runs into you, etc. You can, however, use Breathe when
    holding a weapon without dropping it.
    To pick up a dropped weapon, press Y + D-Pad DOWN when standing
    just slightly "above" the upper rim of it.

**Staying Down on the Mat
    If you would like to stay down on the mat, hold the A button while
    you are downed. If you are in the process of getting up to your
    feet, holding A will keep you in a squatting position for a limited
    amount of time, which could be useful for dodging strikes when an
    opponent is expecting you to get up.

**Voluntarily Releasing a Pin/Submission/Illegal Hold
    If you would like to either release a pin or hold to continue
    punishing your opponent, or are performing an illegal act on a
    fatigued opponent and would like to avoid the 5 count (if the
    Disqualification Count is on), press the A button.

**Kicking Out of Pins and Escaping Holds
    The most efficient way to kick out of a pin attempt is to simply
    hold the A button. Similarly, to escape a submission holds more
    efficiently, simply roll the D-Pad around in different directions
    rapidly.
    Rapidly tapping all the buttons ("button mashing") actually
    decreases your chances of kicking out or escaping a hold.
