SR> DON'T they? Unless you're talking about real life tanks... ML> I am talking real tanks. I love the control. You've controlled a real life tank??? ML> It's really cool. I got 1st place on all but one on this game, and ML> got 2nd and 3rd place on B-techVR. SR> I take it you're pretty good... :) ML> Not as good as most, compared to few. So 2nd and 3rd place is pretty average? SR> I saw their web page, what are the Sunderprime and Mantis like? ML> The Sunder Prime on Btech is a tough monstrosity, with loads of ML> ammo. Its main drawback is it is slow, and heats up quickly. The ML> Mantis on RP is similar, but is a medium speed (280 approx. MPH). If I were ever to plar Red Planet, I think I'd take the "Bug Type" vehicle with the most weapons... ML> Do ML> you have the Web page (for when I actually get on the Internet)? Sure. It's real easy to remember, actually: www.virtualworld.com SR> And what happens when you die? ML> The screen blows up! :) Nah, the screen flashes red, and after 5 ML> sec, you're back in. And you have infinity lives? At that price, you'd BETTER have infinity lives... :) SR> I think so. I'm just not sure if the game was called Virtual On. SR> Do you point the joysticks away from each other to jump? ML> Yep, that's the one. Awesome game. SR> You bet! I lost MISERABLY the 1st time (and only time) I played... :) ML> hehehe, I like the only female robot on there (adds comedy to ML> power). Where does the comedy come from?

This has gotta be one of the best fighting ames I ever played! This was even better than the MK series, and a lot more interesting than trying to find Rain in UMK3 This is even better than Tekken IMHO. Smoother graphics, better speed and easy control make this a must-play! New Additions: Removed some false stuff. Added new move like behind the back throws and h! Basic Moves: G=Guard Button H=Hold direction and/or button A=Horizontal Attack Up=Up B=Vertical Attack Dn=Down K=Kick Fw=Forward Aw=Away Up O Up+Aw | Up+Fw | A B K Aw /|\ Fw \ / G Dn+Aw Dn+Fw Dn Footwork: Fw,Fw : Step In Aw,Aw : Step Back Dn,HUp: Step Left Dn,Dn : Step Right Up+Fw : Jump Towards Up+Aw : Jump Back Up : Jump Straight Up Fw,HFw: Run While On The Ground: U : Roll Left And Get Up A or B: Get up and attack mid-section D : Roll Right And Get Up K : Get up and kick lower section Aw: Somersault Back And Stand G : Tap rapidly to recover quicker Fw: Somersault Forward And Stand When Opponent Is On The Ground: U+B, U+A : Small jump and land on opponent HU+B, HU+A: High jump and land on opponent Throws: G+A or G+B: Combinations with joystick possible as well! Guard Impact System: Try pressing Guard when you are hit: You could stun your opponent for a moment, leaving them oppen for an attack or combo 3-D Guard/Attack: Try an attack during 3-D guard(Stepping Left or Right) Dn,Dn or Dn,HUp + A, B, or K If you and your opponent get your weapons locked, try to predict their move: A: Attack upper section (Beat mid attack) B: Attack mid section (Beat low attack) K: Attack lower section (Beat high attack) Other Stuff: Slide: (From Half-Screen)Fw,HFw,and when near opponent, press K Critical Edge: A+B+K This is a special attack, that wipes out a good portion of your weapon nergy. It only obtains maximum effect if you use it to finish an opponent off. It can be blocked as well, and if you don't use it to finish someone off, it ill leave you dazed for a moment, so use it with caution! Fighter's Moves: NOTE: if a move description is followed by an (?) it means its unconfirmed. If a move is marked by 'H', it means hold that direction. EXAMPLE: Taki's Flying kick is Fw,HFw,K, that means tap forward twice, and on the second time, continue to hold forward and then tap kick. If a move has a '+' it means do both actions at the same time. 'QC' or 'HC' followed by a move means 'Quarter-Circle' or 'Half-Circle' 'WC' dentoes that a move is executed while crouching. TAKI Weapon: Ninja Sword Country: Japan BGM: Future Dancin' Description: Great speed, fast weapon combos, and suprising strength make her one of the best players in the game IMHO. Great for beginners to use.

To make matters worse, the stage you're in is a swaying deck, that moves up and down at the sides, making the whole scene tilt(Hope ya don't get vertigo easily ). In one of his win stances, he crosses his arms while his Swords fly around him. Creepy guy! Soul Edge: Gee, wonder whot this game is about? I dunno much, I never actually got to fight him(Cervantes kicked my a$$), but I've seen his portrait at the Quarters, Inc. Homepage(http://www.quartersinc.com/soul.htm) He appears to be a flaming skeleton. I dunno what weapon he has either. Hope I find out soon, of course! You could always mail me and tell me too .
