  1. INTRODUCTION:
      >Shao Lin is a nice game. It doesnt look as 
       great as Tekken, nor does it have specials of
       Street Fighter, but it does add a few new 
       elements in fighting games. Like fighting 
       against "8" (including yourself) in a 
       free-for-all, or the rpg elements of the story
       mode. One thing which was really missing is a
       move list in the pause menu (which is now a 
       staple in all fighting games). This faq is for 
       those who have the game and want to quick check
       the moves before fighting.

NOTE: Hung Gar is totally different from the rest of 
      the schools. Instead of having just one Qi 
      Stance, you have four stances. The style also 
      has the conventions of throws, multiple 
      attacks, and sidesteps but it isnt listed on 
      the movelist. Not only that, there seems to be 
      some mix-ups about the attacks and the stances.
      I'll put up the corrections, after I go check
      them out.

Thanks to "Theodosis Kastritsos" ,
for pointing out the buttons and the characters. I dont get 
to use the "Versus" mode much because I wanted to finish 
the Story mode first, so I didnt get to see the characters 
I unlocked.
