The ZotGuide Series: Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls [SNES] by the Zotmeister (Adam R. Wood, zot@ccs.neu.edu) 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. 1 - Pressing L,L,L,R,L,R,L,R will: * Allow 11 attribute points per player to be distributed instead of 9 * Allow up to 6 points maximum in any one attribute instead of 5 * Turn the Shadow Master's eyes blue on the 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: * Allow 13 attribute points per player to be distributed instead of 11 * Allow up to 7 points maximum in any one attribute instead of 6 3 - Pressing right,down,down,left,up,right,L,R,L,R,L,R AFTER INPUTTING CODE 1 THEN CODE 2 will: * Allow 15 attribute points per player to be distributed instead of 13 * Allow up to 8 points maximum in any one attribute instead of 7 4 - Pressing left,right,left,right,L,L,R,R,R will: * Increase the amount of continues allowed to nine 5 - Pressing R,right,L,L,left,left,R,R will: * Disable throwing in all modes 6 - Pressing down,down,left,up,down,down,left,up,R,R,L will: * Disable dizzies in all modes 7 - Pressing L,R,up,L,L,down,R,R will: * Allow boss character selection in Tournament, Vs.
