1. INTRODUCTION
====================================================================
Real Bout Special: Dominated Mind (RBS:BM)is finally out for the
PlayStation!
The PS version has a lot of features removed from it, such as the
twin plane fighting system, special moves, fancy combos, and lots of
frames of animation for the characters.
However, SNK has added some new features exclusively for the PS
version. This includes a new character Alfred, movies, some new moves
for the older characters, the Quick Approach, and also, most attractive
of all, the Final Impacts.
The Final Impact is something new to the Fatal Fury series. It is
actually very similar to the Super Cancels from those Capcom games that
we are all so familiar with.
In RBS:DM, you can perform certain moves, and when they conncect,
you can cancel them midway into either a Super Move (S.Power) or a
Potential Super Move (P.Power).
However, unlike the typical Capcom fighting game, you cannot
repeatedly cancel your Super Moves one after another.
In this game, you are limited to canceling a move into either a
Super or a Potential Super, and it ends there. Furthermore, in RBS:DM,
the moves that you can use to start and end a Final Impact are all
fixed. This somewhat limits the player when it comes to performing the
respective character's Final Impact cancels.
Furthermore, the way of canceling your moves in this game is very
different. In Capcom's fighting games, you can super cancel by doing
the motion for the move, then followed by the Super Move.
However, in RBS:DM, Final Impacts are done by using "shortcut"
motions whereby you have to perform the commands for both moves for
your Final Impact in just one motion. Sounds pretty complicated, right?
Hence, I have written this FAQ to help those who have problems
adjusting to this new system in the game, and to assist them in pulling
off the Final Impacts for each character. I hope you will find this FAQ
useful! ^_^
====================================================================
2. FINAL IMPACT GUIDE
====================================================================
This guide will state the Final Impact Starters and Enders for each
character, so that you will know which moves can be used in a Final
Impact cancel.
Note that most of your Final Impacts will only work when you cancel
the move during the FIRST hit when it connects.
Try using them in combos for plenty of hits, and major damage!
