Part 1: Updates
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Version 0.3 12/21/99:
Put in the Parental Lockout Code in the 'Frequently Asked Questions'
section. See my Expert FAQ or Secrets FAQ for details on it.
Version 0.2 12/12/99:
I haven't done much, since I covered about everything there is, so I
just added two things to the Special Thanks section. But I did add a
new 'Moves' Damage' section. Similar to the 'Move Analysis' section of
my Raekwon and Method Man, as well as my Ehrgeiz character guides,
Guides, this section lists the damage for each move, but it doesn't have
a move analysis.
I was also asked another question by some people about my high scores
and stuff. Check that out in the Frequently Asked Questions section. It
seems I'm not getting any mail relating to stuff I need, I just get
people asking me for the Parental Lockout Code, secrets, or telling me
how excellent I have done with these FAQs, even telling me things that
are already in my FAQs as well.
Version 0.1 12/01/99:
First version

Part 2: What's Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style? (General Details)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now, I don't know everything about this game, or even individual
characters. If you want to know, I'm still trying to find out all of
Wudi So's moves, I'm missing quite a few. If you want to help with it,
then just E-mail me.
Okay, this game is a [up to] four-player fighting game. It's based on
the fighting engine of Thrill Kill, which was being made quite a while
back. Each character has their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
There are a lot of secrets to get, and to get those secrets, you have to
play through the Story Mode with every single character and get all of
the Chambers (36 of them).
This guide is just for one character: Wudi So.

means these aren't my BEST juggles, but the average Joe Schmoe Wudi So
juggles. I would like to list my best ones, but...I'm not going to
spread my secrets over the world. You might not be able to execute them
anyway, since they require some good timing and stuff. Sorry about this.

Part 5: Strategy, Hints, and Tips
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Basic Strategy:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you're playing against someone who can do Tech Rolls really easily,
which can be done really easily anyway, then OTG combos usually don't
work on people like them.
Now, you'll need some basic knowledge of this game. You can find some
of it in the Basics section of this FAQ. You will also need some basic
survival tips. If you want to learn the hard way, which I had to, then
you'll play through Story Mode and find out yourself, if not, I'll tell
you some tips.
- Evasion: you'll need to avoid enemy attacks, especially when they
jump you, as well as Raged and/or cheap enemies
- Defense: you'll need to block a lot, especially when you're getting
jumped or fighting against a Raged enemy; block until they're open
then attack them with something quick and strong that'll knock them
down
- Offense: you'll need to attack a lot as well, but be careful with
what attacks you use, don't risk doing a high-powered, slow move that
would leave you open for a wide period of time, otherwise you can get
killed; also, if you fight against someone who just keeps on blocking
forever, keep doing really, really quick attacks (quick start up and
recovery) and just do that forever, if that doesn't work...
- Throwing: throw them, if you're fighting against someone who just
loves to block and waits for an opportunity to attack, then just
throw them while they're blocking, that'll teach 'em
- Sneaking Up: if you're on a team, try sneaking up behind an enemy and
attack/throw them to give an opportunity for your partner(s) to
attack
Survival Tips:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you really want some survival tips, they're above. To have
individual survival tips for each character, just play through Story
Mode with each character. You'll learn what it takes to survive with
the character you are using. I can't really help you out here, except
with Wudi So. But they can be described above and throughout the Story
Mode Walkthrough. Although you can't play Story Mode using the rivals,
you can use the original character since the rivals are similar to them.
Mix-Ups and Juggles:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Mix-Ups...what the freak is that!? Well, if you read one of my Ehrgeiz
Character Guides, you'd know what it is. A mix-up...is exactly what it
is, a mix-up. You have some moves that you trade off between that have
different start up and recovery times that might trick your opponent
into doing something you can attack them. You "mix" between them and you
should be able to attack your opponent if you use it correctly.
As for juggling, Wudi So is pretty good, and you should be able
to think of some your own and if you think it's worthy/good enough, send
it to me and I'll think about it. If I already know it, then I won't
list it, maybe I will. It depends on what I feel like doing.

Part 6: Moves' Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this section, I shall give the damage for each hit of each move in
its corresponding order.
Damage may vary depending on position of your character and your
opponent. The damage of each move is based on normal damage, no Rage,
and done with the opponent trapped against the wall. Number of hits may
vary as well if not done with the opponent trapped against the wall.
Gut Punch@: P1 or P2 |7
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Low Sweep@: K1 |10
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Spinning Back Kick@: K2 |11

Part 7: Using Wudi So & Against Wudi So
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
______________
|Using Wudi So:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
He's almost exactly like Inspectah Deck. Actually, most of the stuff
here is from Deck.
_____________________
|Close-Range Fighting:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow the standing P1 with:
============================
1. (P1 links)
2. B, D, F+K1 (to B, D, F+K1 links)
3. Dash attack (mix-up with all of them)
4. Launcher (to juggles)
5. K1+K2+P1
6. Crouch+P1 or P2
7. Crouch+K1 or K2
8. Grab
Notes: The P1 links have a wide variety.
Follow the standing P2 with:
============================
1. P2
2. P1 (to P1 links)
3. Dash attack (mix-up with all of them)
4. Launcher (to juggles)
5. K1+K2+P1
6. Crouch+P1 or P2
7. Crouch+K1 or K2
8. Grab
______________________
|Medium-Range Fighting:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Wudi So is a close-range fighter. If you get too far, you'll get hurt
because you can't do anything (or much). To close the distance, just
try taking a step and blocking, or just dash in with an attack.
Either way is good, it just depends how you do it.
____________________
|Long-Range Fighting:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Same as above.
__________________
|Crouching Attacks:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CR+K1 works pretty well against standing/grounded opponents. The
crouching middle level attack of choice is CR+P1.
_______________________________
|Countering Opponent's Mistakes:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It is really easy to counter opponent's mistakes with Wudi So. The
start-up times for most of his moves are quick, so all you have to do is
get in and attack, usually with a Dashing attack if you're at medium or
long-range. If you're close range, you can still do the same thing, but
you can also just do a regular attack.
______________
|Miscellaneous:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Overall, most of Wudi So's attacks have quick recovery times so you
can use that to your advantage: you can keep the offensive while still
doing mix-ups in order to hit your opponent. It will seem ordinary, but
your opponent won't be able to block and evade everything. The start up
is also quick as well. Use everything to your advantage.
Wudi So's P1+P2 shortly stuns the opponent.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
________________
|Against Wudi So:|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Watch out against his quick attacks. He will sometimes go into a Low
Counter State. So try attacking using middle level attacks.
________________________________________________________________________
Part 8: Basics
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you don't know how to move, block, crouch, and/or attack, then you
need some common sense and/or knowledge. Well, here are some basic stuff
you can do.
Dash:
To dash, push in any direction twice on the D-Pad/Joystick
Tech Roll:
When you are knocked into the air, right before your body lands on the
ground push the [Block] button (you can hold it if you wish)
Blocking:
If you stand in a neutral position, you will automatically block high
and middle attacks. To block low attacks, you must crouch and hold block.
You can also just hold block as a backup, but sometimes its better to
stand neutrally.
Flip Up:
When you are on the ground, push the [Block] button and you'll flip
up.
Activate Rage Meter:
When your Rage Meter (the red power bar under the green one) is full,
push all attack buttons simultaneously, damage you do is now doubled.
Roll:
When you are on the ground, you can roll in four different directions.
Which direction you roll is relative to the camera angle, so when you
push Up, it might be a forward/back roll or a side roll. The same thing
with the other directions.
Wake-Up Attacks:
When you are on the ground, you can push one of the attack buttons to
get up and attack.
Rising Attacks:
To do a rising attack, you must be crouching. Let go of the crouch
button and right after letting go, push an attack button, that is a
rising attack. But only some attacks differ when it's a rising attack.
Juggling:
The opponent can only be launched three times, including the original
launcher. So you can only relaunch twice during a juggle, then there's
an opportunity to do an OTG anytime during the juggle.
Miscellaneous Stuff:
For moves that require you to push a direction (L, R, U, or D), you
can change the direction of each movement to its opposite (L with R,
U with D) and do the move like that and it'll still come out normally.
Also, if you hit the opponent while they are on the ground, the damage
they take is reduced a lot.

Part 9: Frequently Asked Questions
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1. What is your best record with any character for each type of record?
___________
|Story Mode:|

Raekwon 00:17:10:35 ALL ALL
The other records don't matter. I played through all of the stages,
never continued, never played the same stage more than once, and got all
of the chambers. I wonder what I'd get if I skipped all of the bonus
stages...for Time Attack.
2. What's the Parental Lockout Code?
The Parental Lockout Code is...
/\ O X X [] /\ O []
If you think I copied PRevolution's FAQ, I didn't. I bought this game
the day after it came out. Be forewarned, if you already have secrets
for the game without the Parental Lockout Code, then you can't have the
Memory Card with your file in Slot 1, otherwise it would load that data
and you'd never get a chance to put the code in. If you put the code
in, then you'll be losing the stuff you earned. It's on you.
These paragraphs below are of my previous response.
Sorry, I'm not going to tell you. If you don't have
the instruction manual, then it could mean you got the game illegally,
even if you didn't, so I'm not going to tell you. I want to respect what
Paradox Entertainment did, and that's not distributing the code to
whoever doesn't have the manual. It wouldn't be fair to people who had
to get the instruction manual. If you got a burn of this game, well,
that's just how it is for you, isn't it?
Actually, if you want the code, check out the GameFAQs Message Board.
3. What are some of your "best" juggles?
Like I said before, I'm not going to tell my secrets to the whole
world. I did that once with Ehrgeiz, and I'm not going to do it again.
Have any questions or if you can help me answer any questions that
need confirmation, then E-mail them to lbdangc@aol.com
