    9) Special Moves of Each Character
    ===============================
    I have no idea what their english names are, so I assign them each a
    letter, being A to J from left to right on the fighter selection
    screen. As I do not read Japanese, I only assign names of move based
    on their function, shape, and what I have learn from the anime.

    All basic moves and advance moves, as seen in the moves menu, are
    self-explanatory. The only move which may seem to be unclear is
    TAUNT. TAUNT depresses opponents and therefore decreases their
    special energy.

    Special energy is required to perform all special moves, depending on
    which fighter you are using, the amount of special energy required
    will be quite different. Just a reminder, hold A or B to raise your
    special energy.

    When your life (the Japanese word beside it) is flashing, you may
    execute the super move (move with asterisk, '*', before it) if you
    have enough special energy (the Japanese word beside it is flashing).

    10) Endings & Secrets
    =================
    There are only two endings in this game. You have to finish the game
    at difficulty 4 in order to see one of the endings. If you finish
    the game by having one or more continue, you get the worse of the two
    endings (which is great too :). This ending shows pairs of fighters
    fighting each other with combos and special moves (no super moves
    though ;). If you finish the game without any continue, you see the
    better ending. This ending shows you pairs of fighters fighting each
    other with perfect combos (you can get no better, I suppose), as well
    as the super move for each fighter. And this ending, there is one
    extra option in the practice mode. You can now play a game of ONE VS
    TWO or even ONE VS THREE!!! Now that's gonna be FUN :)
    This is such a great game that I really enjoy. In my opinion,
    Treasure is such a great company in making action games that it is
    competitive with Capcom. If you have Saturn, grap Guardian Heroes,
    it's wonderful.
