- with me.

- The uppercut is the best move in the game. Period. It's easy to do, fast
- to execute, knocks the person down, and does a lot of damage. Most people do
- not realize the full potential of the uppercut. Against a novice it is very
- useful in that it can be used to stop a jump attack. Simply crouch down and
- wait for the jump, then hit low or high punch. Now for the really useful juicy
- stuff. I am now going to tell you how to beat anyone in a n uppercut fight,
- EVEN JOHNNY CAGE! Its easy; When your opponent goes for an uppercut do NOT wait
- for him to crouch back down. This is assuming that you're guarded when your
- opponent is doing the uppercut you are defended. It takes some timing, but once
- you get it down, it becomes automatic. This creates a very nifty little move
- that annoys the HELL out of the other guy. For those people who crouch down and
- wait for you to jump, and then do an uppercut, what you do is hit the kick
- button real early in the kick. That way if they try the uppercut before you
- land they get tagged on the top of the head. If they do not get hit, meaning
- they are still defended, they will probably go for the uppercut right after you
- land. Here`s what you do : Hit the defend button right after you start your
- kick. That way, you`ll be defended when they try to uppercut you. Then you tag
- them before they can crouch down again, as above. BAM! You can do this many
- times in a row before the players figure it out, if they ever do. WARNING! :
- the moves above are only for human players! This does not work against the
- computer. T defeat the computer I suggest the following universal moves. The
- Computer is a sucker for the jump kick. You can get a lot of mileage out of
- going for one jump kick right after the other. Eventually the computer will
- start to block, but you can get several hits off depending on how far into the
- game you are. If the computer does block the jump kick, here`s what you do; do
- a foot sweep, and get as close as you can to him and press low kick. This is
- the knee that all players have, and will knock your opponent down. Then you can
- begin the jump kick cycle over again. If the computer blocks the knee, then it
- will almost always do some sort of high attack move, like a standing kick, and
- you can uppercut the dude. These moves do not works against Gorro. DO NOT SWEEP
- GORRO! EVER! Also, one more computer tip, until it gets pretty far into the
- game, the computer will walk right into rapid low punches. So, in the first few
- battles, start out by pressing low punch rapidly. You will have to develop your
- own timing as to when to stop punching. That`s it for now, gammers! Have fun!
