1.0 INTRODUCTION
------------------
Hello! All of you die-hard old WWF fans out there must know about this game.
One of the best in terms of fun and the worst in terms of realism!
It was released way back in 1995 and was a rage among both Sega
Megadrive/Genesis owners and PC Users. I am one of the latter and although the
game is very old, I want to write a FAQ for it as it is still fun and I
discovered all the moves myself.
Wow! Pretty hectic! Three updates in one day! Whew! Everytime I read the FAQ i
realized something was missing and I had to add it. For Tips 21, 22 I referred
the other FAQs as they are for other systems, enabling them to do 720 degree
turns and such. I would like to clarify something. There are no different
colours for PC users. To enable Buddy Mode, you can goto the options menu.
Pressing Punch four times and three times does not work in the PC version.
There are no known cheats for this game. There were rumours of a cheat code
like "Hulkhoganwearsyellowknickers" or something to that effect but it doesn't
work. The game is easy enough without cheating. I have added all the combos
known to me but welcome any new combos. If it is smaller than my combo, then I
probably know about it. If it is bigger however, I probably don't! So, enough
about the FAQ lets get down to business.
1.1 NOTES ABOUT THE GAME
--------------------------
This Game is full of surprises. Here I will talk about some of the stuff that
cannot be detailed anywhere else.
1. Grab Moves *CAN* be reversed. To do so, simply press => => SP or v v SK
before your opponent does and you will reverse it. However, moves done on
reversal cause less damage.
2. To get to the options menu, goto options at the Character selection Screen
and press SP. Then, change choices by pressing Left or Right.
3. To select a wrestler at random, press ^ + SP at your first Character. Thats
*DOINK* for the first player and *RAZOR RAMON* for the second
4. Combos are performed by first charging your Combo Meter. Pressing SP, SK or
doing any move will fill your Charge Meter by a little. Turnbuckle Moves and
moves off the ropes all add to your Meter. When it is full, it is replaced by a
glowing "COMBO".
5. After you have a Combo ready, you first need to Grab the opponent (=> =>
SP). Then press a combination to start the combo. *KEEP TAPPING* certain keys
in sequence and the combo will be executed. Combos are impossible to block
except by the computer in Get Real Difficulty.
6. Several Combos exist for each wrestler, each of varying lengths. Combos can
be shortened easily, by trying a different combo sequence key than what I have
listed. This will terminate the combo by either a dropkick or with the final
move of the combo.
7. Wrestlers can be thrown bodily out of the ring. This is done by Body
Slamming them when you are near the rope with your back to it. Other wrestlers
have other ways. Eg. Shawn Michaels can throw a wrestler out with his
Frankensteiner, Lex with his Vertical Suplex etc.
8. To climb up on the Turnbuckle move towards it and then press ^ and the
direction of the turnbuckle.
9. Press a different button to perform a different move off the toprope. I have
not detailed this yet, but plan to do so soon. Press the arrow keys to guide
your Character as he flies around and over the ring. He can jump outside also!
10. Attacking a Wrestler on the toprope with a dropkick will throw him out of
the ring. Attacking with other moves is a far-fetched idea.
11. Jumps off the turnbuckle are unblockable. However, they can be avoided.
Stay away from them, but never stand and block. You can also kick them out of
their flight, by timing a kick *VERY* correctly. Press K just as the wrestler
is above your head.
12. After a wrestler has been thrown outside, you can follow him out. Do this
by moving near the rope and pressing Any key except Block and the direction
towrads the rope. Use the Irish Whip on the wrestlers outside and they will
bang against tables and walls. In the far right of the screen, you can just
make out Jerry 'The King' Lawler and Vince McMahon, who were the commentators
at the time.
13. Some combos will not execute fully, if your opponent is already dead. Eg.
After the Eye Rake in Hitman's combo, the opponent will fall with a bang, and
instead Hitman goes rollin away to do the uppercut. However, since the opponent
is already dead, he will keep rolling till he reaches a dead end. When done
outside, it allows you to get a screen exclusively for your wrestler as he
waves to the crowd, plus it looks great.
14. Try pausing as your wrestler does moves to figure out what he really does.
It looks great!
15. There are bugs in the game. One bug enables you to do half of Bam Bam's
combo, and then do a Back Body Drop kleeping your Combo meter filled. Find out
how!!
16. Sometimes, Hitman will do the Super Clothesline, in the correct direction
but facing the wrong way. After doing a Sweet Chin Music, with HBK, just follow
it up with a sliding Toe Drop immediately, andthe move will pick up the
opponent even as he lies down. Cool huh!
17. For a novice, the best wrestlers are The Undertaker, "The Heartbreak Kid"
Shawn Michaels, Yokozuna.
18. For an intermediate I would recommend Lex Luger and Bam Bam Bigelow.
19. For Pros, the wrestlers are Razor Ramon and Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
20. For those playing for fun, I would suggest Doink The Clown, Yokozuna, Bam
Bam Bigelow and Lex Luger.
21. This tip is from the other FAQs out there. To supercharge your wrestler,
you must turn your wrestler through 720 degrees *TOWARDS* your opponent. He
will taunt the opponent and for 5 seconds, all further moves cause 4X damage.
22. This tip is from the other FAQs out there. To speed up your wrestler, you
must turn your restler through 720 degrees *AWAY* your opponent. He will flash
temporarily and for 5 seconds, he will move very, very fast.
23. I have seen the computer use the above two tips, but frankly it is useless
to a PC user, unless you are using a joystick, which can be used in DOS games,
a rarity nowadays. Doing it with the keyboard is impossible.
24. Doing moves after running onto the ropes classify as "High Risk" and cause
2X damage. Same goes for those done after a grab.
2.0 CONTROLS
--------------
This is the general configuration I work with and it's fine for me.
2.1 MOVE NOTATIONS
--------------------
Here are the notations I will be using for the movelist
<= - Back
=> - Forward
^ - Up
v - Down
SP - Super Punch
P - Punch
SK - Super Kick
K - Super Kick
R - Run
If there is nothing between keys then you need to press the keys only once.
If there is a 'H' between Brackets after a key, it means you must hold that
Button eg. SP (H) means hold for 3 seconds
**COMBO SPECIAL NOTE**
Under the COMBOS Section, I have just detailed all the keys to be pressed in
sequence to generate the combos. Note that these keys *MUST BE TAPPED* and on;y
by practice will a player know when to stop tapping one key and start the
other. This is done normally, just as the moves related to one key are coming
to an end and you need to tap the next key, before the earlier move finishes.
That way, you will bufferthe moves into memory and will be able to perform
combos easily. Razor's Combo is the largest I have discovered. If there is a
bigger one out there, please let me know. If I have skipped any moves, please
let me know also.

This combo is buggy as it allows you to do half of Bam bam's true combo and

same amount of damage - very little). In the end though, your Combo Meter
remains lit and you can do another one of these things.
