The Fatal Fury Special (PS2) strategy thread

Hey, guys, I was sitting around with my roommate today playing Fatal Fury Special on Battle Archives Vol. 1, and I started wondering if there was anyone else that enjoyed the game as much as we were. I’m not going to lie, here – I really don’t know that much at all about the game. I thought I’d create a thread and put up some moves lists in hopes that others might start adding their insight. I realize that there’s already a thread for this game in the XBOX Live section, but there isn’t really any talk of gameplay or strategy; it’s primarily to find others to play the game with online. If this thread ends up going nowhere, I don’t mind it getting shut down; it was worth a shot, right? I apologize ahead of time for any moves whose preferred names aren’t used. Anyway, without further adieu, here’s what I’ve got for everyone:
