The ZotGuide Series:
Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls [SNES]
Version 5
Joypad: D=down, U=up, T=towards opponent, A=away from opponent
two adjacent letters represents the appropriate diagonal
hold = hold the pad down in that direction for about 1.5 seconds
minimum before continuing
Buttons: P=punch, K=kick; L=light, M=medium, H=hard; R=press fast repeatedly
When no strength specification is listed, any of the three will do.
Light attack buttons execute shorter and/or slower versions
of the special moves than when stronger attack buttons are
used. When the effect is radically different, I will specify
what happens.
Notes: 1) Commas separate motions that should be done consecutively;
for example, if given D, DT, T, rotate the pad from down to towards,
going through the diagonal. Ampersands (&'s) represent moves to be
done simultaneously. [Just in case you've never played a fighting
game before.]
2) To execute an overkill, both you and your opponent must be on
the ground, and you must hit him with the attack listed by HIS
name, not yours. If it does enough damage for you to win the
match (not round, match), watch and enjoy. Overkills cannot
be performed against the computer when the difficulty is set
to Easy.
3) For those moves not mentioned in the manual, I have used literary
license to give them my own names. If you have better suggestions,
email me. My imagination wasn't with me this time around, so
I'm sure you people can make better names than my lame ones.
4) SPECIAL CODES: All special codes are inputted on the main
menu screen on the first controller. "Tournament" must be the
currently highlighted mode - if it is not, just press up or
down until it is, then input the code. If a code was properly
inputted, a sound effect will confirm it, depending on the code.

* Allow 11 attribute points per player to be
distributed instead of 9

attribute instead of 5

title screen
[This code is given to you when the game is beaten in
Story Mode on the Pro level.]
2 - Pressing up,right,down,left,down,right,R,R AFTER
INPUTTING CODE 1 will:

distributed instead of 11

attribute instead of 6
3 - Pressing right,down,down,left,up,right,L,R,L,R,L,R

attribute instead of 7
