Shinji Ikari, The 10 o'Clock Assassin 7/4-5/99 tyree3@pacbell.net ASUKA 120% FINAL BURNING FEST FAQ FOR JAPANESE PSX, VERSION 1 KNOW THE AUTHOR! Hello, all! I'm the writer of most Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfics, as well as some other fanfics. I also give out my opinions of the games I played. This is my very first attempt at writing any game FAQ. It'll be a hard one for a fact that I'm writing about a Japanese game. I only know a few terms in spoken Japanese, and I've gotten a small idea of what some terms mean in written Japanese. Nevertheless, I'll do the best I can to give you some info about the best *blank* game to hit the market since Street Fighter II. Asuka 120% must've spawn from the frustrations that came during the time when Street Fighter and Fatal Fury were made. Sick and tired of the fact that men outnumbered women 12-to-1; games like this one was made. But despite the fact that it stars high school girls with short skirts, Asuka 120% is a combo-based game (much like Capcom's Marvel Vs. Capcom game). Basically, anything you throw at your opponent will connect. The highest possible ranking can be past 20 "Rush Hits." At times you can get away with doing the same super moves twice in a row or connect two different super moves together. Nothing much in the sence of "cheesecake" (Except maybe for the victory poses). Just a bunch of schoolgirls beating each other silly. "Final Burning Fest" gives the impression that it might be the last Asuka 120% girl-brawl after hitting many platforms (PSX and Saturn are the main ones). They seem to have improved through time, utilizing several elements from the better known fighting style games. -=**=- KNOW THE MAIN STORY! (This is all to the best of my knowledge.) At the Ryouran High School For Girls, the "Mega-Fighting Tournament" is being held. Hundreds of young ladies from all walks of Japanese life are encouraged to participate in this greuling event. But only the best of the best have taken home the trophy and the title "Queen of Fighting." Will the proclaimed "Queens" be able to keep their titles? Or will they give way to hard-boiled rivals and brightly burning newbies? -=**=- KNOW YOUR BASICS, FIGHTER!

This expert in Rhythmic Gymnastics has met Asuka during the high school enterance exam. Becoming quick friends, everyone else starts to wonder if Asuka, Karina, and Kumi will be the next new King Of Fighters team of the future. Ball Attack F + O Stick Shot DF + X/A/O (From high to low) Spinning Swan Kick (J) DB + X/A/O Ribbon Cutter DD + X/A/O #Ribbon Slicer DD + [] #Needle Shot DF + [] (Moves slow, but is unblockable) -=- KYOKO MITARAI Junior A, 157 cm, 47 kg, O blood VO Noriko Hidaka A cheerful girl who represents the Baseball Club. She has a one-track mind. But when she gets her mind on a subject, her full energy follows suit. Well liked by her peers. Note that her bat will appear from out of nowhere during some of her moves. Her glove sits on her head whilst she "swings." Great League Pitch DF + X/A/O Dust Raising Swing DD + X/A/O Burning Catch (J) DB + X/A/O #1-2-3 Strikes, You're Out! DF + [] #True Homerun Swing DD + [] -=- NANA OWADA Junior A, 152 cm, 42 kg, O blood VO Yuki Asakara A traditional Japanese girl who respects her elders.

She spearheads the Volleyball Club through the inter-club activities. Her only enemy is Tamaki Shindou, the tennis player she lost to during the last Mega-Fighting Tournament. Not as bloody as many well-known vengence trips, mind you; she just wants to prove who's the better fighter. Wind Receive DF + X/A/O (X/A go straight, O goes diagonal.) Lightning Serve DD + X/A/O Quick Driver DB + X/A/O #Hyper Tackle DF + [] #Mountainside Buster DP + [] -=- CATHY WILD Senior C, 176 cm, 56 kg, O blood VO Reika Inoue An exchange student from a "sister school" in Florida, Cathy comes to Japan to experience it's culture. Her naturally large (BODY) size makes her a perfect candidate for the Wrestling Club. Will sometimes speak some English when situations are called for.

Air Slam DB + X Back Drop DB + A Headbutt DB + O Lariat DD + X/A/O (A/O has her lariating again.)

She's A Princess! I'm amazed one of her moves didn't include smacking someone, laughing obnoxiously, and saying, "Call Me Queen!" She's the past Mega-Fighting Tournament winner. 100-Rendering Serve (J) DF + X/A/O Victory Attack (Short/Mid) DB + X/A Victory Attack (Reserved) DB + O Racket Drop DD + X/A/O (A/O sends opponent flying frontwards) #Dynamite Serve DF + [] #Victory Dance DB + [] -=- TORAMI HOUJOU Senior C, 172 cm, 58 kg, A blood VO Mio Ito She trains herself and her followers harshly in the arts of Karate.

Majestic Fist (J) DF + X/A/O Mourning Dragon Fist DD + X/A/O Anti-jumping Heeldrop (J) DB + X/A/O Sky-Quaking Anti-jump J, DD + X/A/O #Lightning Dragon Majestry (J) DF + [] #Lightning Dragon Column DD + [] -=- SHINOBU KAWASAKI College Freshman F, 149 cm, 48 kg, B blood VO Hiroka Nishizawa She's a gang leader at the Touyou Harimadana College. She challenges the county's toughest fighters and does battle with each of them. She then hears of the Mega-Fighting Tournament at Ryouran High School for Girls. Like a vicious eagle she lays and waits for her prey; either the MFT champion Tamaki Shindou, or anybody else who can best her. (Akuma's niece. Best hope she doesn't learn the Shun Goku Satsu.) Gangboss Berserker Surge DF + X/A/O Gangboss Dynamite Uppercut DD + X/A/O Gangboss Hurricane Kick (J) DB + X/A/O Gangboss Needle Kick J, DF + X/A/O #Megaton Berserker Surge DF + [] #Megaton Dynamite Upper DD + [] -=**=- KNOW THE SECRETS!

She's ranked by her followers somewhere between Torami and Tamaki. But her fighting style is ranked somewhere around Saishu Kusanagi (KOF.) A young lady shrouded with mystery, she never leaves for home without a trusty book about philosophy.

Now she's back and here to kick butt! But it seems that she has the worst of luck. Her skills have been paralleled towards Dan Hibiki on a good day. Never the less, she's getting those interviews whenever she's liked or not! Surge Microphone DF + X/A/O Rising Microphone DD + X/A/O Sky Cutting Microphone (J) DB + X/A/O #Certain Victory Interviewing DF + [] #Exploding Microphone DB + [] -=- GENICHIROU SHINDOU Principal, 175 cm, 72 kg, O blood VO Touru Sawara Principal Shindou believes that a person must be strong as well as smart and cultured. He also believes that mothers and wives should be great role models for the families of Japan. The students look up to him as some sort of father figure. So why's this guy the secret boss in this series? Oh well... "GOOD WILL TOWARDS HUMANKIND PUUUUUUNCHO!!" Flaming Ring DF + X/A/O Natural Truth Punch DD + X/A/O Duck N' Scold DB + X/A/O (O has him producing flames at the end.)

Anyway, he currently has secret plans to take over Genichirou's job as principal. The students don't like him though; being called petty, stingy, and snobbish. But he looks better in his picture since "Limited Burning Fest." He's yet to be seen fighting during the games, but I guess he's more of a planner and a mastermind than a fighter. -=**=- CONGRADULATIONS!! ALL STAGES CLEAR!!
