The translation was done in a hurry - I'm pretty sure some mistakes crept in,
since my Japanese pretty much sucks. So if you spot any, please let me know so
I can correct them in the next version of the guide. Thanks to SPOTLITE for his
help on the translation.

There were two elements I couldn't translate... they're marked with [???]s.

I. REQUIREMENTS EXPLANATION
===========================
I'll try to describe the combos' requirements in greater detail in the next
version of this FAQ; as for now, the following must do.

Hit requirement:
- back hit: opponent must be hit in the back (note: can also refer to hitting
  your opponent after he or she bounces from the wall)
- MC: interrupt opponent's move, also after the first (setup) move, like throws
- crouching: opponent must be crouching
- hopping: opponent must be ascending / descending from a hop or a jump

Works on:
- lightweights: Aoi, Lion, Pai, Sarah and Shun
- middleweights: works on Akira, Jacky, Kage and Lau
- heavyweights: works Jeffry and Wolf
- super-heavyweights: works on Taka and Dural [sometimes ]
Also characters' names can be listed; keep in mind that this requirement may
differ between arcade and DC versions of the game (eg. a combo that works on
Pai & Aoi in arcade, will usually work on all the girls in Dreamcast version).

Positioning (self-explanatory I think):
- character's back to the wall;
- opponent's back to the wall;
Some combos require the opponent to bounce at a specified angle or height; I'll
describe this in more details in the next version of the guide.

Ground elevation:
- downslope: opponent must travel (float) downslope
- upslope: opponent must travel (float) upslope
Sometimes, an ANGLE is required.

   closed stance:            open stance:
