NOTATION
========
f,b,d,u   joystick motions (forward, back, down, up); hold if capitalized
db...     diagonals (db,df,uf,ub); again, hold if capitalized
P,K,G     press punch, kick or guard buttons, respectively
+         buttons must be pressed together
,         move separator 
FC        execute from crouching position
OTB       \'on the bounce\', opponent is hit after he bounces from the ground

PKG       the senbon punch (P,K,G-cancel)
db+PKG    Kage\'s senbon swipe (db+P,K,G-cancel)

R:        requirements to hit

As usual, damage is standardized to Wolf\'s giant swing being 100 points.
A combo requires 200 damage points to drain the whole lifebar. Some of the
combos requires dashes / crouch dashes for the respective move to connect;
I didn\'t list those places but you should be able to find out by yourself :)
