Firstly, I must thank GameFAQs for teaching the proper way to write
the FAQ. This is my second FAQ and I am still a rookie, therefore
there may be many errors. For those whom are quite observant in my
Brigandine FAQ, you may find out some rather serious errors. So
please inform me if you have any corrections regarding this FAQ.
This FAQ is under copyright law and any unauthorized copying or
production will lead to severe punishment! I have an ICQ of 39117037.
What Scott is looking for:
- Character Move List
As everyone knows that the Official Strategy Guide does not
included the movelist for hidden characters, I myself have been
rather busy in getting movelists for other characters but still
invalid. If you have discovered one of them, I will be rather happy
to test them for you. Of course, credits will be given to you.

| TIPS |
+----------+
1. When you are low in energy, do the Test of Strength [Up, Circle] and
tap circle to gain energy. There is another method, that's doing
your character's taunt [press L2], that's a bit risky as your
character can't guard himself in doing so.
2. Weapons are found outside of the ring. There are many kinds of them
from STOP sign to television sets. To grab a weapon, just walk to it
and here is the controls
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-----+
Button Functions
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-----+
Square Swings the weapon at your opponent. [n][All]
Triangle Throws away the weapon [n] [All]
X Throw weapon at your opponent [n][All]
Whip your opponent with the weapon [OG]
[All except Massive Weapons]
Square 3 times Choke your opponent with the weapon [n]
This only applies to "POLES"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. During Battle Royal, you can not pin your opponents. You can only
win them by throwing them out of the ring by pressing Back, X,
Circle.
4. To throw opponent off the top turnbackle, press Up-Forward +
Triangle or Square. This only applies when the character is about
to fall off the top turnbackle.
5. The move Climb and Pummel can only be used by some players such as
Kevin Nash.
6. Once you have defeated using a submission type trademark finisher,
you will automatically win by submission.
