			 FAQ version 1.03, 24 June, 1997
			    By Christopher Harback
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the initial version of the Power Instinct 2 faq. As far as I
know it's the only one of its kind, so I'll try to make it as complete as
possible. At present, it includes only a movelist and supermove
descriptions, but I hope to include character costume colors, storyline,
and endings in a future version. One final note: this faq is mainly
intended for use with the import Sony Playstation version of PI2, but
presumably the moves (except those listed as "team battle only") will work
in the arcade version a well. I'm not too sure because, like just about
everybody in the US, I've never seen the arcade game.

New to this version is a much better layout, actual motions for the supermoves, 
and a few move corrections, and some stats for the characters. Unfortunately I 
am hindered by my severe lack of skill in reading Kanji. Otherwise there would
be much more information in this faq. PI2 is apparently somewhat popular in 
Japan.

				Standard Moves
                               ----------------

Standard directional controls (a la SFII) apply here. In otherwords, hold
away from your opponent to block, up to jump, etc.

Double tapping toward or away from your opponent will cause your character
to dash, or roll, or hop in the appropriate direction. Most characters
have unique attacks while dashing.

All characters can double jump by tapping up, up left, or up right while
jumping.

A throw or grapple is performed by pressing forward and Hard Punch while
near your opponent. Some characters may also throw by using Hard Kick.

Square-- Light Punch
Triangle--Hard Punch
X--Light Kick
Circle--Hard Kick

L1 + R1--Supermove shortcut (when supermeter is fully charged)

A note on the layout: A "." listed in a move's motion denotes a charge time. 
For instance, the following,

		O- . -O + punch

would mean, charge back for a few seconds, then press forward and a punch 
button.

|Team Battle Characters
|----------------------
|
|The characters listed below are usable in Team Battle mode only. Pochi and 
|Super Kurara are significantly different from their Arcade mode equivalents. 
|In addition, Kintaro and Kurara can not transform in Team Battle Mode. To
|compensate, they have each been given additional powers, listed above in 
|their individual entries.

|
| Chuck

|
|Chuck, the final boss from the Japanese arcade sequel to PI2, Goketsuji
|Ichizoku 2: Chottodate Saikyu Retsuden, is only usable in Team Battle mode
|through the use of a code. At the Player select screen, enter the
|following:

                           Storyline
                          -----------

The Gohketsuji clan is the third richest family in Japan, with vast holdings
worldwide. An unusual method is used to determine who of the vast number of
family members will lead the family: every ten years, a tournament is held. 
To win, the goal is to defeat the entire family, including the current clan 
leader.
In 1992, Gohketsuji Oume, leader of the clan for 50 years, was defeated by her 
sister Otane, who had run away from home years ago. Otane then replaced her 
sister as head of the clan.
However, in 1995, Otane went missing. As a result, a new tournament is being
held. All of the previous tournament's competitors have returned, along with
five others.

As it turns out, Otane was kidnapped by her older sister Osima, who bribed the
Kurokos to throw Otane into the ocean. Osima then opened the new tournament,
figuring that she could easily defeat all comers.
Otane survived though, and returns to challenge you after you have defeated
Osima.

                                 -----------------

A quick note on the faq and its updates:
	I'll continue to post major updatates to the faq at 
	http://www.gamefaqs.com, but an absolutely current version may be found 
	at my homepage: http://www.bcpl.lib.md.us/~karasu/pi2.txt


Version 0.01 - March 21, 1997
	Due to a glaring lack of a faq for PI2, I resolved to write one. The 
        first version was rough and served mainly as a means to help me keep
        track of the moves.
Version 0.9b - May 1, 1997
	I decided to loose my faq on an unsuspecting world. Still very rough,
	but pretty much complete, moves wise.
Version 0.95b - May 9, 1997
	An updated version including all confirmed moves and codes. Still has 
	bad old style layout. Posted to www.gamefaqs.com.
Version 1.01 - May 19, 1997
	Lots of additions. First "official" release. A snappy new layout, all
	confirmed moves, as per the official player's manual, including actual 
	supermove motions. 
Version 1.03 - May 24, 1997
	Assorted tweaking has resulted in a mini-update. Not much new, just some
	corrected typos and layout fixes.
