RANMA ½
BATTLE RENAISSANCE FAQ
Version 1.0

Story:
From what I can tell of the introduction of the game and the
beginning of the story mode, the gang take a trip. Its a typical day at
the Tendo training hall and while everyones chasing everyone else around,
Kuno offers them the idea of going on a trip. (I believe the story line
is similar to the Ranma ½ The Movie 2. But, Im not exactly sure.) Kuno's
family probably bought the island and are building an amusement park
there. Then some oni (goblin or Japanese troll) is haunting the island
and involves itself with the group. From here, each character has their
own little story that unfolds (for example Ranmas story line is that
Akane is kidnapped by the oni and he has to go and rescue her).
Game Play and Control:
The game play is very similar to Tekken 2.
Each character has the typical moves:
Right Punch (RP)
Left Punch (LP)
Right Kick (RK)
Left Kick (LK)
Some characters can rotate themselves in the z-plane.
Here are some typical moves for everyone.
Downed Opponent:
D+RP
D+LK
Ultimate Techniques:
To do certain special attacks certain conditions must be met
Power Gage Desperation (PD) Your Power meter full to execute this move.
Life Desperation (LD) Your Life meter flashing to do this move.
Super Desperation (SD) Your Life meter flashing and Power meter full.
You can fill your Power meter anytime by holding down any attack button.
Characters are also able to do taunts that will lower the opponents Power
meter. But taunts will leave your character defenseless.
Taunt (LP+RK)
Ranma Saotome
Story:
From what I can figure, Akane is kidnapped from the group by the
oni. Of course Ranma has go to save her. In order to defeat the oni, he
must travel around the island destroying special magical markers that
will help him defeat and locate the oni. Of course I cant understand or
read Japanese, so Im only guessing here.

Akane Tendo
Story:
Apparently, the oni has somewhat seduced Ranma away. Of course,
Akane could care less about Ranmas flirtatious attitude, but of course
she wont let him go that easily. Akane seeks out the oni to give a
little payback to the oni and Ranma of course.

Of course, Ranma is shunning Shampoo as usual, but then the oni
kidnaps Ranma and takes him away. Its up to Shampoo to save Ranma and no
