Part of the reason for this FAQ, is to save you money on a strategy guide or magazine just to learn the moves. All the people who have e-mailed me asking to use my FAQ or ask questions. It inspired me to keep at this FAQ and make it better. Game Informer: For the list of basic moves DISCLAIMER This document is copyrighted by me, Z-Force.

However, I'll still take anyone's submissions or suggestions and add them to the FAQ. V4.01 UNRELEASED (10.5.99) Corrected a typo saying that Damien Black's age is unknown when in fact, he is only 500 years old... (funny, he doesn't look a day over 400...) Added another site to the list of places where this FAQ is available. V4.2 (10.6.99) Added a couple of tips to Championship Mode. Added a few notes on Taunting. Changed the rankings chart a little bit (Salua moved up a few places.) Added average amounts for stat increases for each different training method. THIS FAQ CAN BE FOUND AT (My home page. The latest version may not always be available here, as my page is updated sporadically, usually once every week or two.) LEGEND Note: All moves are listed assuming the character is facing right. r = Right d = Down l = Left u = Up A, B, X, Y, L, and R correspond to their respective buttons on the Dreamcast controller. Please note, that a lowercase r or L refers to buttons on the control stick (or pad) Uppercase L and R refer to the trigger buttons on the controller THE BASICS First, decide if you want to play with the analog stick or the control pad. Either will work, however, I find it easier to move around the ring using analog. Punching: Your 4 buttons each do different punches. If you just press the button, you will do a left or right jab or body blow. Don't underestimate these punches as they are useful for softening up an opponent. If you press a button plus a direction, you can do more powerful punches such as a hook or uppercut. These are more powerful, but also are slow. Defense: R blocks high, L blocks low. Blocking is useful to stop weaker punches, but if the other guy is throwing heavy artillery, combine L or R with a direction on the stick. This will allow you to duck or sway. Sometimes, it's possible to rope-a-dope your foe by holding a block button and pressing various directions on the stick. This is a fun way to frustrate people. Taunting: Press either X + A or Y + B. Each character has 2 different taunts. Taunting serves no real useful purpose other than to annoy and humiliate a foe. Don't to it when close to the opponent, or you'll probably be beaten senseless. In the moves list, Taunt 1 will be done with X+A while taunt 2 is Y + B Please note that the two female boxers have flip type moves as taunts. Unlike other taunts where it is basically an open invitation to get slugged in the mouth, these 2 moves can be useful as escapes. Try them, you may catch an opponent off guard. RUMBLE MODE If you land a hard punch, you earn a letter in RUMBLE. Once you have it spelled out, press L + R to power up. Once you are in Rumble mode, your punches will do more damage. Also, some fighters have special attacks that they can only do in RUMBLE mode. Finally, by pressing A + B, you can do the Rumble Flurry which is an unloading of all of your special moves in sequence on your hapless foe. Try to wait till the enemy is open before doing this. RUMBLE mode ends after a certain period of time, when a round ends (also any letters you had saved up are lost at the end of a round) or you or the opponent are knocked down Other tips on using RUMBLE Mode: Don't use it if your opponent is about to go down, as it will be wasted. Also, if you are about to fall, use it immediately and try to do some damage before hitting the mat. In that case I would go for a RUMBLE Flurry quickly in order to do some heavy damage. Also, use it when there are 10 seconds or less to go in a round in order to go for a quick KO. Another good time to use the flurry is when the opponent is backed up in a corner. That way they have to eat the whole thing. Even if they block part of it, they'll still take some damage. MOVES LIST BY FIGHTER Selene Strike Hometown: Brasilia, Brazil Weight: 130 lbs Height: 6'2" Reach: 80" Age: 24 Profile: Selene is, pound for pound, one of the best female boxers in the world today. Her graceful technique is backed by lethal power, particularly with her potent straight and right hook. Not particularly fast, this young veteran makes up for her lack of speed with awesome toe to toe tactics. Other Info: Selene is one of the best fighters in the game. She is fast and has a good amount of moves. She also has a good Rumble Flurry. Also, one of her taunting moves is a backflip which can actually be useful in defensive situations. Basic Moves Lightening Jab X Overhand Smash u or d, X Stylin' Uppercut l, X Powercut Y Head Turner d, Y Step & Strike u, Y Brain Bruiser l, Y To The Moon r, Y Jolly Punch A Blocking Hook u or d, A Slide & Stab r, A Fakie Jab B Low Blow u or d, B The One Two r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Backflip (This can be used as an escape move) Taunt 2: Let's Get Busy Special Attacks Rush: r, r No Love: l, r, B A powerful shot below the belt. Good as a surprise move. Rejection: r, l, Y A powerful head shot. A fairly useful punch. Superwoman: l, r, X A quick 2 punch combo Below the Belt: r, B Just what it says. A useful move to use up close. Cold Shoulder: l, l, r, A A powerful low elbow shot. Fast and does a lot of damage. Selene's best move. Boris Knokimov Hometown: Zagrev, Croatia Weight: 220 lbs Height: 6'3" Reach: 73" Age: 30 Profile: Boris is a folk hero in his country along with being a living legend all across Eastern Europe. He is arguably one of the most complete fighters in the circuit with both inside and outside attacks. With the support of the best Olympic coaches and gyms in Croatia, Boris trains intensely for every fight, believing that he must never let his country down. Other Info: Boris is a very well-rounded character, with decent speed, good power, and an above average Rumble Flurry. Basic Attacks Jab X Mighty Hook Left u or d, X Iron Uppercut l, X Sliding Jab r, X From Croatia With Love Y Mighty Hook Right u or d, y Superior l, y Moving Bruiser r, Y Zagrev Crusher Left A Sweep Left u or d, A Evasive Jab r, A Zagrev Crusher Right B Sweep Right u or d, B Stomach Splatter r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Game Over Taunt 2: No Pain Special Attacks Justice Axle: l, r, X A mighty backhand body blow. Try this technique out. Use the Justice Axle, then when it connects, quickly press d+B, followed by l+A. If you can pull off this combo, it'll do tons of damage. Reigning Axle: r, l, Y Similar to the justice Axle, but is aimed at the head. Dividing Shaker: u, X, Y Delta Axle: r, A, Y, X Axle Combo: r, l, Y, X, X Salua Tua: Hometown: Waipahu, Oahu Weight: 358 lbs Height: 6'0" Reach: 77" Age: 33 Profile: Salua is a former sumo wrestler who originally came from Hawaii but later moved to Japan to take on the world's greatest sumo wrestlers. After becoming Grand Champion, Salua was concerned with the lack of recognition sumo receives from the rest of the world. A consummate disciplinarian, he has entered boxing and left his championship behind in an attempt to represent and bring respect to the sport he loves. (Sounds suspiciously like E. Honda if you ask me.) Other Info: despite his size, Salua is still fairly agile. Use this to your advantage. Better than Average Rumble Flurry Basic Moves Straight Jab X Short Hook d, X Wide Hook u, X Flubber Fist l, X Hidden Uppercut (close) r, X Hula Tula Y Quick Hook u, Y The Wai Ki d, Y Skull Smasher l, Y Running Uppercut r, Y Below the Belt A Fat Sweep Left u or d A Belly Bruiser Left r, A Mr. Fisto B Fat Sweep Right u or d, B Belly Bruiser Right: r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Butter Man Taunt 2: Big Target Special Attacks Porkchop: l, r, Y Nothing special, just a big damaging punch Ton of Fun: l, X A belly flop. Very useful in close. All You Can Eat: r, l, X A more damaging belly flop with more range. Probably Salua's best move Gut Buster: r, l, r, B A big body blow. Not as useful as some other moves Monster: d, A, r, l, X A big punch followed by a belly flop. A useful combo attack. Tank Thrasher: Hometown: Guntersville, Alabama Weight: 290 lbs Height: 6'4" Reach: 80" Age: 26 Profile: Tank used to fight in the extreme sport of crocodile rodeo but soon got bored from the "lack of serious competition." Boxing is his forte now, and he has become a leading contender, often misleading opponents with his apparent lack of conditioning. Talking trash and pummeling his opponents into submission, Tank holds up convincingly against the better trained boxers. Other Info: Tank is rather slow and not a very good character, though he does pack some power. Rumble Flurry is terrible. Basic Moves Sloth Punch X Nose Bleeder r, X Earth Shaker u or d, X Over-Extended Jab Y Le Tardo u, Y Heel to Fist d, Y Over the Top l, Y Tiring Punch r, Y Sloth Gut Shot A Hidden Delight Left u or d, A Duck & Punch Left r, A Tummy Tucker B Hidden Delight Right u or d, B Duck & Punch Right r, B Taunts Taunt 1: No Hurt Taunt 2: Huh? Special Attacks Blitz: l, X A powerful 2 fisted punch. Does a lot of damage and usually earns multiple RUMBLE letters. Rush: r, r Crash Test Right: r, r, Y Crash Test Left: r, r, X Shameless Left: r, r, A Shameless Right r, r, B Tenderizer: l, l, r, B A rapid fire body blow. Does good damage, and is difficult, if not impossible to punch through. Big Willy Johnson Hometown: Chester, England Weight: 172 lbs Height: 5'9" Reach: 72" Age: 108 (?!) Profile: Willy comes to us from the late 1800's where he was the undisputed fist-a-cuffs champion. Brought to the present through a mysterious rift in time, he resurfaces among modern day gladiators in an attempt to remind the world where the sport originated. From a time where there were hardly any rules, no time limit, and little protection, Sir Johnson serves up a rowdy blast from the past. Other Info: Willy is a pretty good character. He has a good variety of moves and decent speed. His Rumble Flurry isn't all that great, but is still reasonably useful Basic Moves Knuckle Sandwich X Haymaker u or d, X Rising Dragon r, X Maker's Mark Y Jolly Ol' Punch u or d, Y Thunder Thwak l, Y The Fancy Man's Punch r, Y Jab the Ribber A The Hasty Pudding u or d, A Kidney Killer r, A McGrumpy Stab B The Tasty Pudding u or d, B Overhead Stab r, B Taunts Taunt 1: "Let me show ya something!" Taunt 2: "You've got nothin' left!" Special Attacks Clockwork: r, r, l, X A rapid fire series of punches. Fairly easy to block, but can do some good damage. Tea and Crumpets: r, r, Y A powerful pair of uppercuts that can do monster damage. Willy's best move. Stealing Props: u, d, X or d, u, X A quick straight followed by and overhead punch. Useful as a confusion tactic, as it's hard to block both moves. Old School: d, u, X, A Timeout: u, d, X, X Butcher Brown: Hometown: District of Columbia Weight: 232 lbs Height: 5'9" Reach: 82" Age: 23 Profile: Butcher is a goofy, cocky boxer who was once the undisputed champion, but lost his title in a controversial match with Boris Knockimov (my guess is he was DQ'ed for attempting to bite Boris's ear off) After a leave of absence and a long bout with personal turmoil and disillusionment, and inspiring relationship with the spiritual Kemo Claw reunited him with the sport that once made him famous. Armed with newfound confidence, Brown is now determined to not only reclaim his belt, but to unify the championships as well. Other Info: Butcher is well balanced, and one of my favorite guys to use. His Rumble Flurry is so-so. Usually at least part of it connects Basic Moves Lil' Butcher X Ear Mutilator u or d, X Jump & Jab r, X Tooth Taker Y Small Hook u or d, Y Wind-Up Slam r, Y Brute Disaster r, Y Evasive Jab r, A Machine Jab B Doctor Gut Killa r, B Wild Hook Right u or d, B Taunts Taunt 1: "You better put yo' money on me!" Taunt 2: "I'm Angry Now!" Special Attacks Disaster Blaster: l, Y, X Scrape the Gutter: Y, X, X Bad Manners: l, X A headbutt. Useful up close move. Total Disrespect: l, X, A, B A headbutt followed up by two more punches. Very useful. Wild Ride: r, l, Y A powerful swinging punch. It resembles Super Macho Man's move in Punch out. Probably the Butcher's best move. No Turning Back (RUMBLE Mode only) r, l, Y, X, Y The Wild Ride followed up by some more punches. Devastating. Usually results in a knockdown if it connects. Jimmy Blood Hometown: Oamaru, New Zealand Weight: 226 lbs Height: 6'2" Reach: 87" Age: 23 Profile: A furious and malicious fighter, Jimmy is uncontrollable at the sound of the bell. While he's often criticized for his constant lack of discipline, no one can deny his fight winning power and audacity among the professional ranks. His weapons of choice are devastating lunging hooks to the head. Other Info: Jimmy is a midcarder at best in the world of R2R. He doesn't have any glaring strengths or weaknesses. His best ability is his reach. Rumble Flurry is average. Basic Moves Dashing Punch X Leaping Lefty u, X Eyebrow Shuffle d, X Super Uppercut Left r, X The Bruiser l, X Nut Soccer A Full On Left u or d, A Streaking Jab r, A Blistering Bliss B Full On Right u or d, B Devil Punch r, A Taunts Taunt 1: (Jimmy Screams really loud) Taunt 2: Constipator Special Attacks Blood Rush: l, l, r, Y A rushing punch. This move does fair damage and is very useful for closing the gap if the opponent is at a distance Blood Shot: r, l, B A lunging punch. Packs some power, but not much else Splatter Punch: r, r, X A flurry of punches. Not too useful. Angel "Raging" Rivera Hometown: Monterrey, Mexico Weight: 155 lbs Height: 5'9" Reach: 71" Age:23 Profile: Angel is one of the toughest and most endearing boxers. Undefeated in the amateur circuit, he was known for adhering to the styles of boxing purists. His professional debut was no different, and after swiftly winning his first championship belt, Angel lost it in his first title defense against a former classmate, the brutal Rocket Samchay. Puzzled by the new champ's unorthodox fighting method, Rivera abandoned the confines of his traditional techniques in exchange for a wilder, more reckless path. Now fueled by revenge, he has little respect for those he must defeat in order to again face his nemesis. Other Info: Angel is a decent character. He is pretty well balanced, but leads more towards speed. His weakness is the fact that a lot of his moves are complex combos that are hard to pull off. Basic Moves Smell da Glove X Neck Snapper u, X Downcast d, X Around the World (Left) r, X Step & Jab Y Repeat Offender (up close) Y Ear to Chin u, Y Around the World (Right) r, Y Extendor d, Y Monterrey Power l, Y Flab Checker (Left) A Mean McSpleen (Left) u or d A Gut Shot r, A Flab Checker (Right) B Mean McSpleen (Right) u or d, B Over the Belt Boarder r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Yo Ese Taunt 2: Check the Machine Special Attacks Ghetto Blaster: l, r, X A leaping uppercut, during which Angel screams "SHORYUKEN!!!" (just kidding) A powerful, strong move Lowrider: r, l, B A quick right body blow. Though fast, this punch has no real use. Crusin: r, l, B, r, B, A, B Salsa: r, A, l, r, X A right body blow followed by the Ghetto Blaster. A very powerful combo if done right. Lambada: r, l, B, r, B, A, B, l, r, X Afro Thunder: Hometown: New York City, New York Weight:120 lbs Height: 5'7" Reach: 70" Age: 21 Profile: Afro Thunder is obviously a stage name for this ex-cab driver. Immensely agile and talented, he tried his hand at many careers before heeding the call to professional boxing. While not having the greatest record, he never fails to draw a huge crowd with his showmanship and trademark flare. Other Info: Afro is agile, but not very strong. His punches are also limited in usefulness. He does however, have a very good rumble flurry. Basic Moves Sissy Punch X Groovy Hook u or d, X Left Uppercut l, X In Yo' Face r, X Fro Jab r, Y Low Blow A Fierce Hook u or d, A Hair to Gut r, A Gut Thumper B Belly Button Tap r, B Fro Windup u or d, B Taunts Taunt 1: "I can't go on!" Taunt 2: "Call da doctor!" Special Attacks Up Tempo: X rapidly A rapid series of punches. Useful if the opponent is in a corner The Supa Stupid Funky Punch: l, r, Y A big lunging punch. Slow to come out, but does good damage Sucka Punch: u, d, Y, Y, Y, Y Useless. This is a big windup punch, it takes forever to come out, but does lots of damage. If you hear him say "sucka punch!" hit him immediately Lulu Valentine Hometown: Seattle, Washington Weight: 105 lbs Height: 5'2" Reach: 64" Age: 21 Profile: A graduate student in business and fashion design, Lulu Valentine supplements her world famous clothing line with her other profession, prize fighting. Her compact and efficient punches generate surprising power that often catches opponents off guard. This, along with her stunning looks and knowledge, is more than enough to help her climb the ranks, where she hopes to make a name for herself and her business. Other Info: Lulu is probably the fastest character in the game, and is therefore effective despite her limited range and power. She has some good specials and her taunt is a cartwheel that can be useful for escaping from corners. Rumble Flurry is average. Basic Moves Sweet & Petite X Running Clobber Left u or d, X Double Time l, X Spinning Soundgarden (close) l, X Speedy Uppercut r, X Uppercut (close) r, X Nirvana Shotgun Y Running Clobber Right u or d, Y Monster Smash l, Y Power Uppercut r, Y Side Uppercut (close) r, Y Navel Knocker A Rock Rocker Left u or d, A The Juggulator Left r, A Spin Navel Knocker B Rock Rocker Right u or d, B The Juggulator Right r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Cartwheel (This move is effective as an escape move if you are against the ropes) Taunt 2: Go Diva Special Attacks Springing Assault: l, X A powerful pair of blows. Use this up close to wear out your opponent. Backhand: r, l, Y This is a backhand punch. Fast, but has next to 0 range. Triple Upper: l, l, r, Y A rapid fire set of uppercuts. Lulu's best move. "Furious" Faz Motar Hometown: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Weight: 230 lbs Height: 6'5" Reach: 76" Age: 28 Profile: The former bodyguard of a wealthy Middle Eastern entrepreneur, Faz comes to the ring with a gritty, no-nonsense style. Fully backed by his wealthy benefactor, he is a cutting-edge specimen in the world of professional sports. Don't let the flashy garb fool you, he is dangerous both in and out of the ring. Other Info: This guy is brutal. He has one punch that can be used to decimate almost anyone. So-so Rumble Flurry, but you probably won't need it. Basic Moves Jabber Jab X Harem Scarem u or d, X Uppercut l, X Step & Jab r, X Sir Jabalot Y Right of Agony u or d, Y Head Crusher l, Y Step & Smack r, Y Jewel Jab A The Scud u or d A Duck & Fly r, A The Right Stuff B Naval Navigator u or d or r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Feel No Pain Taunt 2: Oh Yeah Special Attacks Cruise Missile: r, r, Y This is a devastating punch, especially on the computer. You can fully spell out RUMBLE in one fell swoop with this attack, and possibly knock off over half the opponent's power. Urban Attack: d, u, X A powerful 2 punch attack. Slow and easy to block. Whirlwind: r, r, l, X A powerful uppercut punch. Oasis: r, r, l, X, r, Y Jet "Iron" Chin Hometown: Taipei, Taiwan Weight: 150 lbs Height: 5'8" Reach: 78" Age:20 Profile: Jet once made a living as the stunt double for a famous Hong Kong movie star. (Can't be Jackie Chan, he does all his own stunts) After living in the shadow of his hero for many years, he made his way to the ring to make a name for himself outside of the theatre. Being new to the sport, Jet's lethal brand of martial arts often overrides his traditional boxing training. Other Info: Jet is a great character due to his speed and many moves. Excellent Rumble Flurry Basic Moves Backhand X Arch Protest l, X Holy Hand Slap d, X Karate Fury r, X Slap Y Iron Angst u or d, Y Firecracker l, Y Sacred Slam r, Y Uppercut (Close) r, Y Forearm Check A Small Hook u or d, A Step in Jab r, A Taiwan Thunder B Rocket Right u or d, B Iron Strike r, B Taunts Taunt 1: Come Get Some Taunt 2: Check It Special Attacks Giving Order: r, l, Y A powerful spinning move. Does a lot of damage up close. Arch Nemesis: l, X, A, B, Y Great Fang: l, r, X A powerful 2 fisted punch. One of Jet's better moves. Fists of Fuzzy: r, l, r, X, Y, X Rocket Samchay Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand Weight: 165 lbs Height: 6'2" Reach: 78" Age: 23 Profile: A Muay Thai champion in his home country, Rocket wanted to prove to the world that his kickboxing school is the best with hands as well as feet. Although restricted with the rules of western boxing, he often punctuates his wins with eastern style fury. After studying boxing in the states and winning the championship from Angel "Raging" Rivera, Rocket is now convinced that he is unstoppable. Other Info: A well rounded character. His Rumble Flurry is entirely high, so you either hit the whole thing or have it totally blocked. Basic Moves Quick Jab X Overhead Bash u or d, X Crazy Uppercut l, X Step & Jab r, X Pumpin' Punch Y Thai Hook u or d, Y Forehead Crunch l, Y Stab A Left Hook u or d, A Trouble in Belladise r, A Tight Tuck B Right Hook u or d, B The Dominator r, B
