(The Slightly Ultimate Violent Legend)
FAQ version 2.0, March 12, 1999
By Christopher Harback
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the latest version of the Power Instinct 2 FAQ! After a hiatus of
nearly two years, I've decided to revise the world's only FAQ (that I know of)
for this unusual game.
Why? I don't know, really... I rediscovered the file while cleaning out my old
UNIX account when I changed service providers, and it just seemed to want
revising. I seriously doubt that Gamefaqs is getting ANY hits on this FAQ, but
hey, it's a labor of love for me.
There's obviously not much new. I've cleaned up the format and therefore the
length. I've also included a listing of all the costume colors for the various
characters. I've even listed, where possible, a description of the little items
that circle a fighter's head when he or she is dizzy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A word about PI2
----------------
Power Instinct 2
Otherwise know as Gouketsuji Ichizoku 2: Chottodate Saikyo Densetsu, Power
Instinct 2 for the Sony Playstation is really a home version of the Japanese
sequel to PI2, subtitled Chottodate Saikyo Retsuden. Released in Japanese
arcades in 1993, PI2 was outdated by the time it was converted for the PSX in
1995.
Okay, I'll be the first to admit that PI2 isn't a game for everybody. As a PSX
2-D fighting game it fails outright-it's slow to load, it's choppy, and it takes
forever to load when any of the characters transform into their alter-egos. But
if you can look past its flaws, PI2 is a suprisingly clever game. It's full of
sight gags that depend on a slight knowledge of Japanese culture. Most, if not
all of the characters are broad caricatures; it's a fighting game that makes fun
of fighting games. In short, it's too bad it was made for the PSX and not the
Saturn.
For those looking for the further adventures of the Gouketsuji Clan, Atlus
produced a sequel on the Saturn, called Groove On Fight. It is an excellent
game, and it succeeds in many of the ways that PI2 fails. Incidentally, the only
returning characters are Oume and Otane, who fight as one person, tied back to
back.
Also available, of course, is Power Instinct, on the Genesis and Super Nintendo
platforms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Moves
----------------
Standard directional controls (a la SFII) apply here. In other words, hold
away from your opponent to block, up to jump, etc.
Double tapping toward or away from your opponent will cause your character
to dash, or roll, or hop in the appropriate direction. Most characters have
unique attacks while dashing.
All characters can double jump by tapping up, up left, or up right while
jumping.
A throw or grapple may be performed by pressing forward and Hard Punch while
near your opponent. Some characters may also throw by using forward and Hard
Kick.

Storyline
-----------
The Gohketsuji clan is the third richest family in Japan, with vast holdings
worldwide. An unusual method is used to determine who of the vast number of
family members will lead the family: every ten years, a tournament is held.
To win, the goal is to defeat the entire family, including the current clan
leader.
In 1992, Gohketsuji Oume, leader of the clan for 50 years, was defeated by her
sister Otane, who had run away from home years ago. Otane then replaced her
sister as head of the clan.
However, in 1995, Otane went missing. As a result, a new tournament is being
held. All of the previous tournament's competitors have returned, along with
five others.
As it turns out, Otane was kidnapped by her older sister Osima, who bribed the
Kurokos to throw Otane into the ocean. Osima then opened the new tournament,
figuring that she could easily defeat all comers. Otane survived though, and
returns to challenge you after you have defeated Osima.

Version History
-----------------
A quick note on the faq and its updates: For as long as I can update this FAQ,
it may be found at www.gamefaqs.com
Version 0.01 - March 21, 1997
Due to a glaring lack of a faq for PI2, I resolved to write one. The
first version was rough and served mainly as a means to help me keep
track of the moves.
Version 0.9b - May 1, 1997
I decided to loose my faq on an unsuspecting world. Still very rough,
but pretty much complete, moves wise.
Version 0.95b - May 9, 1997
An updated version including all confirmed moves and codes. Still has
bad old style layout. Posted to www.gamefaqs.com.
Version 1.01 -- May 19, 1997
Lots of additions. First "official" release. A snappy new layout, all
confirmed moves, as per the official player's manual, including actual
supermove motions.
Version 1.03 - May 24, 1997
Assorted tweaking has resulted in a mini-update. Not much new, just some
corrected typos and layout fixes.
Version 2.0 - February 23, 1999
Major layout changes! These were mainly due to the fact that I rediscovered the
FAQ and saw how crappy it looked. Some big additions are: a complete costume
color guide, translations of the official move names, conversion of metric
measures to English, and general clarifications of most of the moves. What's
next? Probably move descriptions, if I can find the time.
