_ Basic Play Guide __________________________________________________
| O O O A Weak Punch |
| \ | / B Weak Kick | Moves in this FAQ are given in the
| O- N -O C Strong Punch | standard "right facing", (where your
| / | \ D Strong Kick | opponent is on the right side of the
| O O O (N = "neutral") | screen) mirror-image the notations
|_____________________________| for left facing. Joystick control
follows "standard" fighting game
control conventions (up=jump, back=guard, etc...) With modifications:
_________________________
| air O- air defense | Air defense provides protection from
| O N short jump | normal attacks and projectiles. Short
| | | jump is self explanatory; and may also
|_________________________| be applied to forward & back jumps.
_ Special Movement and Oversway _____________________________________
| -O -O Dash |
| O- O- Backdash | Dash makes you quickstep towards
| Dash O Dash Jump | your opponent, pushing upwards
| / | lets you to dash jump. Quick-
| \ N Quicksway | sway allows you to dodge attacks
| O | to the upper body (your legs are
| Quicksway C Quicksway Attack | still vulnerable.) Pressing C
|__________________________________| during quicksway allows you to
_____________________________ strike back.
| AB Oversway to Foreline | Fighting takes place on three planes
| BC Oversway to Backline | (unlike the two of previous games)
|_____________________________| Most action takes place on the main
line, movement to the fore and back
lines may take place at will (or unwillingly too). Dashes may be done
on auxiliary lines (but no jumps), moving the joystick towards the
main line will return you (though you will return automatically after
a short time).
________________________________
| AB Attack to Foreline | Attacking between lines have two
| BC Attack to Backline | different modes depending on where
|--------------------------------| you stand. If you're on the main
| A B C D Attack to Mainline | line, AB or BC will strike out to
|________________________________| the auxiliary lines. If you are
the person in oversway, any button
will produce an attack towards the main line. Special moves may not
be performed across lines.
_ Other _____________________________________________________________
| Guard -O A Defensive Attack | Upon guarding an opponent's
| far N C Tease | attack, press forward and A to
|__________________________________| perform the Defensive Attack.
Teases are performed far from
your opponent with the joystick centered. Unlike in the Art of
Fighting series, the tease has no effect on gameplay (yes, I know
about Mai) other than screwing with your (real-world) opponent's mind.
_ Feint Moves _______________________________________________________
Some moves have feint motions available, any move listed with
button combinations in parenthesis are feints. Certain use alternate
motions to perform them, they are marked as so.
_ Additional Notations _____________________________________________
air do motion in air
near do motion near opponent (i.e. special throws)
back hit knocks opponent towards back line
fore hit knocks opponent towards fore line
_ (Cho)ChoHissatsuWaza _______________________________________________
Now a staple element, (from it's introduction in Art of Fighting)
the ChoHissatsuWaza (supermove) is a high-damage move usable anytime
when your strength drops low. (Your strength meter will flash.)
While not grounbreaking FF3 now sports "ChoChoHissatsuWaza" (you
may figure out what that means =^) These require activation; at the
"GO!" graphic, press ABCD+Start, (CDROM users, use ACD+Start) your
name should turn green. (Even if it doesn't it still may have been
activated.) Once it has been activated, it will remain on until your
game ends.
They are usable once per round when your strength is low and your
name flashes (green/white). Conditions for the flash vary for each
character (see corresponding character entry for more information)
_ Boss Selection ____________________________________________________
Boss characters (Yamazaki and the brothers) are selectable on _home_
units:
1. Save after clearing SHIN (Elder Brother).
2. Load the data and select "NEW GAME".
3. When selecting a character, press (B) button over each of following
characters in this order. (an audio cue will signal correct entries)
Terry, Hon Fu, Mai, Geese, Bob, Sokaku, Andy, Bash, Joe, Mary.

excepted) they may be sent flying back. If an obstacle stands in the
way, they will strike it instead.
