Kinniku Man 2.

[bowser123]

Just got a JAP copy of Kinniku Man 2 for the cube. It's the crazy cel shaded wrestling game.
I have a problem with it though- I don't understand any of it, not even the basics. It's proving to be the hardest JAP game for me to get into.
Does anybody know what the basic moves are?
Or maybe a site with some help on it? (There is nothing on Gamefaqs of any use).

No joy on this one I'm afraid:

Oh well, that's kinda ****ty news Mr Ono.
Tried to play it again and I really have no idea of what I'm doing.
It's (sadly) going on eBay.
Saying that, the US version of the game called Ultimate Muscle is out real soon and I'll be getting that.

I may do that as well mate.

Basic moves.

Right. Its been a couple of months. One button punches -now I think its A - usually there's a 3 combo on it. Another button jumps. You can jump in the air and press the punch/kick button and you do a sweeping dive with most characters. It's wise then to hit the grapple button. I think this is the Y button. Nice way to catch them off guard then hit them with a grapple.
The grapple can be used straight standing as well. Some opponents can be really difficult though - 'just because'. I think the B button does a really poor block. It can help shuffle you backwards and therefore out of reach though.

Holding down the punch/kick button (A) will give you a stronger but slower punch.

Level marks.
There are three level ups.
LVL1 - if you press one of the shoulder buttons (can't remember which) and punch/kick you do a special attack. Some of these you can do in mid air as well. You can jump (X) then attack (A) or mid-air grapple as well (Y).
LVL2 - is the special grapple. So shoulder and grapple (Y) will give you it.
LVL3 - then you can pull off your special - press both shoulder buttons - you have to connect as with a grapple though.

Lastly the Z button pulls off your tag partners special when THEIR bar is at full. Every character has a different one.

During special tag team matches in story mode where you can play both characters (but can NEVER TAG) you can activate a DOUBLE SPECIAL by being at LVL3 - pressing both shoulder buttons WHEN the tag partners bar is also on FULL.

Strangely gone into capitals a lot.

Erm. Think that's about it. The 'Ball machines' unlock characters. There's no skill to them though.

I also note that the instruction booklet that comes with he game lists a lot of the moves as well. - I really should start reading these instructions when I get games.
