Notes:
- This move list is completely based on the PSX version of the
game; I've been told that there is an arcade version, but I
have never seen it in any of the arcades I go to (could be
because down here in Australia we don't get arcade games
until they are obsolete...)

Gameplay:
- The game combines elements of both Tekken and Virtua Fighter;
having the PPK combos of Virtua Fighter and the special move
styles of Tekken.
- Gameplay takes place inside a ring, although the fighting itself
is 2 dimensional (some characters, however, have moves which
move them into and out of the screen). Fighting, however, can
become more 3 dimensional if the "Slant Move" Omake is enabled.
(See Omake Section in "Miscellaneous information").
Conventions:
P: Punch button
K: Kick button
B: Beast button
lowercase dir: Tap direction; only hold for that attack
UPPERCASE DIR: Hold direction; hold until stated otherwise
X, Y: Button X then button Y
X/Y: Button X or button Y
X+Y: Button X and button Y
running While running (f, F obviously)
QCF: Quarter circle forward (d, df, f)
QCB: Quarter circle back (d, db, b)
Occasionally, there will be combos where to "B" (hold back on dir
pad) may be confused with "B" (beast button). Just test these out
to figure out the combos. Note that it would be very rare for the
button "B" to be pressed with another attack button (ie. P or K),
so these "B"s are probably the direction.
Abbreviations:
KD: Knocks opponent down
FA: Faces away (turns you around)
floats: Floats opponent
throw: Will execute a throw routine. Note: not all moves
marked "throw" are actually throws, but the program
is executing a throw routine. You can see this for
yourself if you do the move in Practice mode.
Common moves:
f, f Dash forward
f, F Run
b, b Dash backward
d, D Low crouch (will stay for about 1 sec.)
P+K Throw (opponent standing)
d+P+K Throw (opponent crouching)
P+K (in air) Land on feet if floated
u+P/K/B (beast) Pounce (opponent on ground)
Air attacks:
f+P/b+P (in air) Descending mid slam (KD)
f+K (in air) Double foot kick & backward roll (KD)
b+K (in air) Back double foot kick & forward roll
d+P (just before landing) Rushing low punch (KD)
d+K (just before landing) Sweep
While getting up:
direction Roll in direction pressed
K Kick-up attack
Beast mode:
- Underneath the stamina bar is the "beast bar" (again, I have no
idea what the proper name of this is). When there is a "B" at
the end of the bar, then by pressing the "B" button, the
character transforms into its beast form. A little energy is
healed when this happens.
- Any combos in the movelist with a "B" can only be used when your
character is in beast mode (otherwise you'll turn into a beast if
you can).
- In the beast form, the moves do more damage, but the character is
slightly slower.
- Also, in this mode, it is possible to jump off the walls.
Counter-attacks:
- Bloody Roar does not have reversals in the Tekken sense, but it
is possible to dodge an attack and execute it almost immediately.
This is true even if the attack is blocked; the delay time is
dramatically reduced and your counter-attack will come out almost
immediately.
- To counter an attack, you have a fraction of a second AFTER the
opponent's attack has taken place, to press FORWARD. The
opponent's attack may or may not be blocked, as long as it
doesn't hit you. If it is executed correctly, you will flash and
step to the side. You can then enter into your favourite combo
immediately.

Combos:
- The combos are arranged with a starting combo (eg. P, P, P,)
followed by possible combinations. In most groups, there are
four combos: two combos which are mirror images of each other,
a normal finishing move and a beast finishing move. The finishing
moves are listed at the end of the combos.
- The finishing moves are split into two main types:
(i) normal finishing moves (marked as "finishing")
(ii) beast finishing moves (marked as "beast finishing")
Obviously, the latter can only be performed in beast mode. Also,
the beast finishing moves need slightly more precise timing.
- Under every mid chain (ie. after the starting combo), it is
possible to break the combo at any time and execute a finishing
move (or "B, beast finishing move" if in beast mode).

(i) Omake section:
- This menu under the options menu allows access to extra
options when certain events are achieved.
- Menu Method
- Big arm type Finish with no continues
- No gauge mode Finish with Yugo
- Camera mode Finish with Alice
- No lighting mode Finish with Long
- No guard mode Finish with Gado
- No wall mode Finish with Mitsuko
- Wall display off Finish with Fox

- Slant move Finish Time Attack Mode under
10 minuntes.
- Afterimage mode Finish game on level 4 with
all characters.
- Sailor Alice Finish with Alice on level 6
difficulty without continues.
- Most of these are self explanatory. However, a couple of them
aren't so obvious:
- Big and Small stages: these two stages are accessible in
Practice mode after unlocking these Omake.
- Slant move: characters can move into and out of the screen
(Toshinden style) by pressing L1 or L2.
- Afterimage mode: removes background images and instead shows
motion-blur effects on a black background as the characters
fight.
- Sailor Alice: dresses Alice up in Sailor Moon clothes.
(ii) Miscellaneous stuff:
- Pressing the following buttons when selecting a character will
make the character "deformed":
L2: equivalent of "Big Head" character type.
R2: equivalent of "Kids" character type.
L2+R2: equivalent of "Big Arm" character type.
- Pressing SELECT during the knock-out replay will play the replay
again at another camera angle. This can be repeated indefinitely.
