Hey there, folks.  It's been a while since I wrote something new, but
seeing as I proudly own a title for the Gamecube, I can say with some
confidence that this will be the only complete guide on GAMEFAQs (Or at
least I hope).  It's been on the FAQ Bounty List for so long, and it's
been requested for over a year now.  Well, you got your wish.  Enjoy it
proudly, for it will give you all of the info you'll even need.

(2. Story)
\\\\////
*From the manual and opening cut-scene in the arcade mode*
During the Age of Feuding between humans and Zoanthropes, a new kingdom
was born.
Founded upon and dream of peace and equality, for both, the new land
attracted scores of Zoanthropes from far and wide.  However, the
kingdom was young, and heavily relied upon its Zoanthrope army for
security and on its special brigade of Zoanthrope mercenaries for
income.  Even more troublesome for the infant nation were rumors of
cruel experiments being carried out on Zoanthropes to uncover the
secret behing their ability to transform into fighting beasts.  Though
nearly everyone, both Zoanthrope and human alike, strongly opposed
these experiments, no one could prove that they were actually taking
place, much less who was responisble for them.
In an effort to bring the nation together and show off the power of
their Zoanthrope army and mercenary brigade, the kingdom decided to
sponsor the ultimate Zoanthrope fighting tournament.  The winner would
not only earn the title "Zoanthrope Champion," but also take home a
handsome cash prize.  If only the participants knew what was really
awaiting them...

(4. Game modes and options)
\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////
//////
ARCADE
//////
Basically you vs. the computer.  You must fight through 8 matches of
opponents to the end.  Characters cannot fight clones of themselves.  A
second player can join it by pressing start.  The first six rounds have
you fight random opponents.  The last two will depend on who you're
playing as.
You have to defeat your opponent to move on to the next one.  Time,
rounds, and Handicap can be adjusted.  To continue, simply press start
before the counter reaches zero.  You have unlimited continues.  This
mode also unlocks most of the cheats in this game.
\\\\\\
VERSUS
\\\\\\
You know the drill, pick a character, have your friend/sibling pick
another character, and battle.  The person who chooses their character
first adjusts the time, handicap, and # of rounds.  They can also
choose which stage they want, as well.
///////////
TIME ATTACK
\\\\\\\\\\\
You try to see how fast you can beat the game.  The 8 stages randomly
choose opponents for you, while you fight Cronos and Uranus as the last
two, in that order.  The time is fixed at 60 seconds and the rounds to
win are fixed at two.  You're given a Ranking at the end.
\\\\\\\\
SURVIVAL
////////
You try to fight as many opponents as you can. The time is fixed at 60
seconds and the rounds are fixed at one.  Up to 50% of your health is
refilled depending on how you did the round.  It's almost endless.
///// \\\\\
TEAM BATTLE
\\\\\ /////
3 or 5 characters can fight here.  Choose your characters and the COM
will have a random set of characters for you to fight.  Each time a
someone loses a round, they start with another character on the team.
3 player teams have three rounds to win, and 5 five player teams have
five rounds to win.
\\\\\\\///////
VS TEAM BATTLE
///////\\\\\\\
Same as above, but with a friend/sibling.  Time, handicap, and stage
can be selected.
//////////
COM BATTLE
//////////
Accessed by beating arcade mode twice, this lets you watch two CPU
opponents fight.  Not much, worth viewing if you need a time killer.
\\\\\\\\
TRAINING
////////
Practice makes perfect, and this is the way to go for practing.  Like
in all fighting games with this feature, you'll fight a dummy.  Once
you select your characters and stage, press start to bring up the
training menu.
RESUME: Unpauses the game.
ACTION: How the dummy will behave.  The actions below are as follows:
Stand: Stands still.
Crouch: Stays in a crouching position.
Jump: Keeps jumping straight up.

Blocks every attacks which can be blocked.
Com level 1-5: The dummy fights on its own.  Obviously, the higher the
number, the stronger the dummy is.
Record and Replay Input: Press down on the C stick first to record the
dummy's actions, then press down again on C stick to stop the recording
session.  BTW, it'll only record for so long (About 20 seconds), so if
you press the C stick down after it says "Tape full", or something to
that effect, it'll perform up to that point.  Next off, press down on
the C-stick one more time to replay it's actions, and down on the C
stick again to stop the recording.
Record and Replay Input on Counter: Same as above, but for their
counterattack actions.  I personally don't see that much of a
difference...(Shrug)
Manual Control: The second player plays the dummy.
Block After Taking Damage: Will block shortly after the first hit.
QUICK RECOVERY: Stuns and Knockdowns are reduced.
AIR RECOVERY: Changes the timing on the dummy's air recovery.  It do
one after 1-7 attacks, depending on the setting.  All attack/7th attack
means it'll attack shortly after recovering in midair.
COUNTER HIT: The dummy will do counter attack damage on hits.
BEASTORIZE: Will transform into hyper beast or beast form once it's
able to.
EVADE THROWS: It will always get away from any throws you try to do.
RISING ATTACK: It'll do rising atacks.
GAUGE RECOVERY: The beast gauge will automatically be filled after
preforming a beast drive or go into Hyper-Beast mode.
H.BLOCK: If you turn this option off, it'll only do light blocks.
ALL DISPLAY: Turning this off will remove all info like the beast gauge
off.
INPUT DISPLAY: Turning this off will only remove the bar with the input
commands off.

(5. Strategies)
\\\\\\ //////
-------------
1. How to win
-------------
There are three ways to win in this game.  The most common way to win
is to drain all of your opponent's life.  The second way is to knock
your opponent out of the ring.  The third way is to have more health
than your opponent when time runs out.
If you and your opponent has the same health, you both win a round.  If
it's a tie on the last round, you'll begin sudden death. In sudden
death, you'll both start with empty health.  The first person to hit
the other wins.
------------
2. The Forms
------------
Here are the three forms each character will have in Bloody Roar:
Primal Fury.
Human Form: This is the form you begin battle in.  You have access to
most of your special moves.  Below is the beast gauge, and as you move
around and deal damage to your opponent, it'll say "Beast Change!"
That's when it's time to become the raging beast within you (Press X).
If you choose not to turn into a beast, you'll continue filling it up.
Once the beast meter flashes "Beast Change!"  You can safely turn into
Hyper-Beast mode (See below).
Beast Form:
Once the gauge says "Beast Change!"  You'll be able to become a
fighting beast.  In this state, you'll have every special move
available to you, as well as beast drives.  Once you use a beast drive,
you'll preform a powerful special move that'll drain a good portion of
health (Usually 50%).  But you'll turn back into beast form, regardless
of whether you hit with it or not, so make it count.
While you're fighting in beast mode, your meter will drain as you take
damage.  Once it's empty and you're knocked down, you'll turn back into
a human again.  You'll also recover some of your health in fading areas
of the life meter (Up to 30%).
Hyper-Beast Form:
Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  You know if an aura surrounds you, it's
potentially dangerous to stick around and fight.  You're more powerful
than in beast form, and you can perform as many beast drives as you
wish.  You'll also shift to another move from one part of a move, and
health recovers faster.  Here, the flashing gauge will gradually fade
away over time (You have about 20 seconds), and once it's empty, you're
back to a human.
To battle in Hyper-Beast Form, press the Z button or the A+X+Y buttons.
If the beast gauge isn't flashing, you'll lose up to 50% of your
health, depending on how much was filled in the beast gauge.  The more
it's filled, the less health you'll lose.  If it's flashing, you won't
lose health, and can safely transform into one.  You do not have to
become a beast first before you become a Hyper-Beast.
-----------
3. Blocking
-----------
I can't stress this enough.  Don't go in with fists flying or you'll
have your butt kicked.  There are two kinds of blocking, light blocking
and heavy blocking.  To do a light block, leave the control stick in
neutral postion, and press down to do a low light block.  Heavy
blocking is done by pressing Y, or press the control stick/pad in the
opposite direction.  For a low heavy block, press down and Y or the
control stick in the opposite direction while crouching.
---------------
4. Sidestepping
---------------
Another thing you need to do is sidestep.  Pressing L or R will let you
do this.  The downside to this is that it's kind of slow, so try to use
it when blocking isn't enough, or your opponent misses carelessly.
----------
5. Evading
----------
Press Y to avoid attacks as soon as your opponent does one.  It's hard
to pull off due to some timing.
-----------------
6. Evading throws
-----------------
Press A, B, X, or Y while your opponent starts to do one,  Not as easy
as it looks.
--------------
7. Block Break
--------------
Performing one of these will let your characters flash briefly.  Light
blocks cannot break it.  They'll be pointed out in the move lists for
reference.
---------------
8. Block Attack
---------------
QCB (Quarter Circle Forward) and or B Button
Here, preforming this will have green lighting surrounding the
character.  You can attack your opponent while preforming high or
middle ligh guard.
---------------
9. Air recovery
---------------
By pressing A, B, X, or Y, you'll recover in midair.  You'll also have
the advantage to attack your opponent easily as well.
------------
10. Recovery
------------
If your stunned or knocked down, press buttons and rapidly move the
control stick to recover.
More will be added in future updates.
----------------------
11. Beast Drive Damage
----------------------
This one's recently added as of today.  To my knowledge, the higher
your beast gauge is when you do a beast drive, the more damage it'll
do.  I'll use Bakuryu's Double Inferno as an example.  Here, If you do
this move with little power left into the beast guage or near the end
of hyper mode, it'll do crap damage.  But...if done at the start of
hyper mode or if your beast guage is full, it'll do TREMENDOUS DAMAGE.
You'd be suprized.
----------------------
12. Grabbing Opponents
----------------------
Of course, pressing Y next to an enemy will throw or slam them.
However, for all characters (Except Shina), pressing QCF (Quarter
circle forward) and Y for an alternate grab move.  All characters can
grab from behind or if the opponent is crouching.
---------------
13. Combo Rings
---------------
Long, Shenlong, and Uriko are the only three characters with combo
rings, giving them an endless variety of combos.  In order to master
them, however, you need to first do a move that'll allow you to get
access to it.  From there, it's all up to your skill.  You can do as
many moves as you like inside the combo ring and perform a finishing
move at the end.  It's possible to link all of the moves in a combo
ring with a finisher of your choice, as well.
See the move lists for the combo rings of Long, Shenlong, and Uriko.
//////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
(7. Characters and Move Lists)
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////
All characters will be listed in alphabetical order.  First off, I give
the basic info on the character and how he/she plays, as well as their
specialties and their special moves.  Next, come some other moves I've
found.  Finally, we have the ending when you clear arcade mode.
All moves assume your character is facing to the right.

to Forward)
HCB: Half Circle backward (Forward to Down Forward, to Down, To Down
Backward, to Backward)
x= # of times you hit button (Or execute motion)
Throw = Throw (Press the Block button up close)
----------------
Alice the Rabbit
----------------
Alice is a good character to start for first timers.  She's well
balanced and is a good for beginning players to jump into the game.
Some of her moves are tricky to execute (The triple somersualt for
instance), but is easy to get used to in time.
It's little surprise to anyone that she's more agile in her beast form,
she jumps higher and does more damage, and is more agile, but you
already knew that of course.  But her huge bounding leaps are an
advantage for her, because she can evade her opponents easily.  Some
other moves have some nice perks-her Rabbit Spiral can juggle opponents
in midair, for example.

Notes:
Alice does not face Cronos as the final opponent in arcade mode.  She
faces Long instead.
Her rabbit spiral can juggle her opponent to a combo of up to 15 hits.
Her Triple somerault is hard to connect sometimes.
Spring Kick does good damage, and is a great attack to use towards
dashing opponents.
Ending: After defeating Long, he comments on how great her preformance
was.  She sees Yugo holding Cronos, smiles, then walks up to him and
slaps him.  She blames him for dragging her into this tournament
(Because they could've been killed) and cries.
----------------
Bakuryu the Mole
----------------
Quick and speedy isn't even the half of what Bakuryu is.  He's quite
the trickster and can easily fool opponents with ease, making him
deadly with a master.  His smoke bomb can confuse opponents, and more
importantly, can take your opponent by surprise.  This goes without
saying the this and his Smoke Spiral Kick can be mixed to provide a
wonderful mind game for your opponents.  If they start to wise up, lay
off.
But being quick, don't expect any hard hits from him.  Both his punches
and kicks are fast, but he doesn't hit hard.  It's only through means
quick movements that'll cause the damage to rise.  Some of the more
interesting moves I've found were not on the special move list (See
other moves , and it's only then that his bag of speedy tricks can be
quite the annoyance, provided you keep them guessing.
Spiral Shadow Blade: P x4 F, P
Flowing Shadow Circular Kick: DF, P, K
Gale Cresent Moon Drop: F x2 K x3
Poisonous Claw Machine Gun: F, Be x5
Flying Line Drop: B, F, P (Opponent must try to hit him or it won't
work)
Triple Spiral Kick: P x2 D, K
Shadow Bound: P (when ducking)

Snow Light Line Drop: QCF, P
Smoke Bomb: QCF, K
Smoke Spiral Kick: QCB, K
Rising Scrape Up: QCB, Be
Poisonous Claw Shadow Blade: P x4, Be x3
Dancing Lunge: F, Be x4 DF, P, QCB, Be
Other moves:
Triangle Jump kick: D, U, K
Triangle Jump Slam: D, U, P
Claw Drill: QCF, Be
Midair Grab:  F, Throw (You and opponent must be in midair)
Charge Punch: QCB, P
Beast Drives:
Double Inferno QCF x2, Be
Magic Spear QCB x2, Be
Notes:
There are two variants to his wall jump grab.  If he does it from
behind, he'll slam the enemy backwards.  If done from the front, he'll
do his normal grab move.
Magic Spear can be done from anywhere.  See, if you're far away from
your opponent, he'll spring up to where they are.  It can be avoided,
but probably not blocked.
In order for Bakuryu to do his Flying Line Drop, someone must attack
him first.
Snow Light Line Drop must have his enemy in air to actually do the
move.
Bakuryu doesn't face Cronos in Arcade mode, he faces Yugo as the final
opponent instead.
Ending: Bakuryu beats Yugo, and is proud to see how much he's grown up.
He gives him a noogie and reminds him that he's the boss around here.
----------------------
Busuzima the Chameleon
----------------------
Busuzima is easily dissed.  Many of his moves lag, he's somewhat slow,
and he's ugly.  But as the old saying goes, appearances can be
deceving, as he's more powerful and tricky than you'd otherwise expect
him to be.  Many of his moves are easy to preform, as they usually
consist of simple button combinations and movements.  This seems to
make up for some of his faults.
Plus, in beast form, he can turn invisble on his own on in hyper
mode(Though your character can see him), and some of his attacks have
long range, giving him a better advantage.  While in human form, use
his punches, they don't lag as much as his kicks.
Busuzima Kick F, P, K
Back Attack: DF, P, DF, P, B, P
Chopping: K, D, K, P x2
All Open Transparent Kick: P x3, K, D, K
All Open Upper Punch: P x3, Be
Busuzima Head Butt: B, F, Be
Grand Elastic Punch: B & Be x4 (Press Back and Beast 4 times)
Heaven Elastic Punch: U & Be x4
Busuzima Punch Combination: F & P x6
Busuzima Punch Combination: F & P x4, K
Hooligan Fake Kick Combination: F & K x2, F, P
Tongue Lash: F, B, Be
Super Tongue Lash: F, B, Be, QCF, Be
Busuzima (Poison Island) Serious: QCF, K
Serious Punch: QCF K, P x3
Serious Kick: QCF, K x3
Dokujima Exercise: QCB, K x6
All Open Hell Attack: P, K, P x3, K, B, K
Other moves:
Turn Invisible: QCB or QCF, Be
Kangaroo Kick: (Facing away from opponent) D, K
Countergrab: B, F, P (Opponent must preform leaping attack)
Side Switch: U, P
Taunt: D, U, K
Head Bonk: QCF, Throw
Tongue Trip: QCB, Throw
Head Smash: QCF, P
Beast Drives
Ultimate Die Through QCF, Be
Busuzima's Mandala QCB, Be
Notes:
For Busuzima's countergrab, someone must do a leaping attack towards
him.  Leaping attacks are attacks like Gado and Shina's pounce moves.
Do tongue trip, then very quickly do his Dokujima Exercise for a 16-hit
combo.
In hyper mode, he'll turn invisible.
For "Busuzima's Mandala", his hits can easily miss, and can be hit or
even grabbed out of it (It happened to me once).
There are rumors of him having a 3rd beast drive.
Busuzima doesn't not face Cronos as the final opponent in arcade, he
faces Stun instead.
Ending: After beating Stun in a fight, he takes the fruits of the
experiments, but Stun gives him a good punch to the gut before he even
carries out his plans.
------------------
Cronos the Phoenix
------------------
While Cronos is a Phoneix, he has a second beast form as well.  A
penguin.  Yep, a harmless penguin.  Or so it looks like through first
impressions.  In reality, he can be an annoying character when you take
all his forms into account.  Add to the fact that he has 3 beast drives
instead of the usual 2 and you'll see his true potential.
His penguin form isn't very powerful, it doesn't do many of his moves
as good as his human and Phoneix counterparts, his attacks are weak,
and he can only do one of his three beast drives. But the postives can
easily balance them all out.  His small body has him easily avoid high
attacks and some middle attacks, which means people will have to duck
down for a chance to touch him.  The fact that he attacks low as well
can give him a cheap advantage too.  Not only that, but he can't be
grabbed, and his winning pose is sure to put people in embarrassment.
Then there's his Phoneix Form.  Not only is he very powerful, but he's
quick, he can fly, and has a hidden beast drive for his form only.  His
attacks are done very well like his human counterpart.  The obvious
downside to this is that it's in hyper-beast mode, so enjoy it while
you can.

Phoneix Fury: QCB x2, Be
Phoneix Fireball: F+DF+D+DF+F x3, K, P, Be x2, K x2 (Hyper Mode only)
Notes:
An easier way to do his third Beast Drive is to rotate the control
stick three times and press X.
If you do his Super Hyper punch, he can still finish off the combo with
a punch, kick, or his beast attack.
His counter moves always consist of a kick.
Phoneix Fury can only do damage while he's a phoneix.  If he's a
penguin, he'll just drain the enemy unconcious, making it totally
worthless.
Cronos cannot face himself in arcade mode, so he'll face Uranus as the
final opponent instead.
Ending: King Orion says a new round of experiments have been ordered,
but Cronos doesn't want to have anything to do with this.  He tries to
kill himself, but King Orion stops him.  He tells Cronos the
experiments must continue if humans and Zoanthropes must live together.
-------------
Gado the Lion
-------------
I like this character very much.  He has good speed, good strength, and
great variety of moves.  Being well balanced, he's very easy to get a
grip on, and his moves are powerful, even in human form.  Beast form is
even deadlier, as a more fierce opponent lies under the surface.  With
lots of mastery, he'll become one of the best characters for you to use
in the game.  The only gripe I have with him is G-Bomber Beast drive.
It looks great, but does crap damage, but that's probably from my
experience.

Other Moves:

Beast Drives:
G-Bomber QCF, Be x2
G-Cannon QCB, Be x2
Notes
G-Bomber looks great, but does crap damage.
The final part of "Pressure of Tyrant" can be charged for more damage.
For some comedy, try this with G-Cannon.  Take your opponent and push
him/her toward the wall you're facing (About 3/4 away, though arenas
vary.  Then do the move like normal.  Your opponent will fall on top of
you!
For some cheapess, do Talk to the Fist or Absoulte Fire at the start of
a round/match.
Ending: He signs a pact with King Orion at a meeting.  Gado's job now
is to ensure peace between humans and Zoanthropes.  Someone is secretly
viewing the meeting and walks away.  Who that figure is, we'll never
know...
--------------------
Ganesha the Elephant
--------------------
Ganseha isn't an character anyone can take to.  First off, if you want
someone with combos, avoid him, for he cannot link any of his hits
together.  Don't get him if you despise slow characters either, for
he's the slowest character in the game.
While it's his main weakness, his strength is what makes him incredible
and feared, and it'll undoubtedly take a long time before he becomes a
must play for anyone.  Being strong, he can send opponents crashing
through walls with little effort, becuase of his weight.  However, his
weight can work against him, as opponents can easily send him through
walls as well.
He has a variety of slam moves, and some can be linked together to
bring major damage (See move list, of course).  However, the timing for
this is tricky, as you can to quickly input the command and press throw
at a certain time.  It helps to repeat those particular motions over
and over so you can get a good idea on how to make the most of them.
Just don't rely too much on grabbing and play defense,  and try hit
your opponents once or twice, then back off.

Belly Bounce: QCB, HCF, Throw
Beast Drives:
Elephant Power Toss: QCF x2, Be
Elephant Suplex QCB x2, Be
Notes:
His grab combos are hard to connect.  You have to preform the motions
and press the button before he slams them to the ground.
His midair trunk snatch must have his opponent in the air or it won't
work.
He has to do the Elephant Suplex up close or it won't work.
His Belly Bounce doesn't seem to do much damage or have any moves
linked into it.
Ganesha cannot face himself as the second-to-last opponent, so he'll
fight someone else.
Ending: He beats Cronos and tells him one day he'll understand why he
had to do this, but he sees Cronos's Phoenix form and suddenly blacks
out.
-------------
Jenny the Bat
-------------
Jenny is one of the quicker females, and many of her moves are kick
based.  Punches are rarely used as they cause her to slap, but mixed
with her beast attacks, she can become deadly.  Her kicks mainly cover
a wide variety of areas, high middle and low, they're very fast, and
can become annoyance trying to block them all, especially the middle to
low ones.
And in beast form, she'll become even more annoying with her added
agilty, a wonderful way for you to blend your moves into a fighting
machine.  Some of her midair attacks are especially deadly and can
easily overwhelm you.

Grimson Glider  QCF x2, Be
Notes:
To change which leg she'll use for the Twisted Explosion, press Down
and the Punch Button.
During the Twisted Explosion or the Downward bicycle kick, you can see
up skirt if you pause at the right time (I know you're out there,
perverts...).
The finishing button you press for the Drill Talon affects the power
and distance of the attack.
She faces Gado as the final character instead of Cronos in Arcade mode.
Ending: During her fight with Gado, Stun grabs her from behind and Gado
comes to the rescue.  She blacks out, but eventually wakes up to see an
exhausted Gado lying next to her.  She thanks him for saving his life.
--------------------
Kohryu the Iron Mole
--------------------
It's easy to call him  a clone of Bakuryu, which, in a way, he is.  For
the most part, his a little more focused on power instead of speed, but
he can be just a as quick and tricky as Bakuryu.  Almost all of the
moves from him are from Bakuryu's move list (Except for the Flying line
drop), but some new ones have been added to his beast couterpart.
But if you've mastered Bakuryu, it shouldn't take you any longer to get
him down.

Fist Launch: QCF, Be
Beast Drives:
Chamber of Doom: QCF x2, Be
Missile Crusher: QCB x2, Be
Charge Punch: QCB, P
Notes:
As stated eariler, he doesn't have all of Bakuryu's moves, just a
majority of them.
For his smoke bomb tricks, hold the control pad in one of the 4
directions while doing the Smoke Bomb Sprial Kick.
Missile Crusher can be done from anywhere like Bakuryu's Magic spear,
but it cannot be blocked.
Kohryu is one of two characters that does not have any involvement in
the game's plot.  The other is Uranus.
--------------
Long the Tiger
--------------
Long can be one of the trickiest characters, because he has a combo
ring.  The only other two characters that have this are Shenlong and
Uriko.  This gives him almost an endless variety of combos for him to
use in basically any situation.  It's a tad complex, so study it for a
few minutes.
In order to start it off though, you need to do your punch combo before
you even do any of the moves below.  From there, it's all up to your
skill.  By mastering this combo ring, and linking the moves together,
this will completely annoy your opponents, as you can be as
unpredictable as you like.
Just remember that you have other moves beside your combo ring, so
don't be too reliant on it, now, and only bust out your combo ring once
his/her guard's dropped.  If this happens, than by all means show NO
MERCY.

Cartwheel Kick: QCB, Be x4
Heavy Push: QCB, Be, P x4
Beast Drives:
Course to Heaven: QCF x2, Be
Ferocious Tiger Laceration: QCB x2, Be
Notes:
The rumors at the Bloody Roar Primal Fury Boards are false.  There is
no 3rd beast drive for Long.
For his "Course to Heaven" Beast Drive, he must do it up close.  If it
doesn't work, the shockwave will do minor damage.
Because of Long's Two combo rings, you can use one combo ring or
another in beast form, making it far more unpredictable on what to use.
Ending: As he carries an unconcious Cronos, memories of him as one of
the expermients are replayed in his mind.  Nothing more.
------------------
Shenlong the Tiger
------------------
"Don't tell me...he's like Long, right?"  To answer your question, yes.
However, his combo ring isn't as complex as Long's, but is just as
dangerous.  He also has two ways to go into the combo ring instead of
one.  He also has several more special moves outside of the ring than
Long, as well.
But that doesn't mean the strategy isn't the same though.  Complete
mastery of the combo ring can mean trouble for whoever's fighting you.
More importantly, using some of your special moves as well as your
combo ring can make a deadly pair of moves and a formidiable opponent
in the process.

Notes:
Shenlong does have a third Beast Drive, but...because of the insane
button mashing you have to go through, as is the timing I've only seen
it once.  Here's how it goes (As I'm too lasy to put it in the move
list):  PUNCH x3, FOWARD+KICK, DOWN+PUNCH, KICK, FOWARD+PUNCH,
DOWN+KICK, PUNCH, DOWN x3+BEAST.  Whew...perform the final part of the
move when you see red electricity flowing through his body.
He has two ways of entering his combo ring.
While he faces Cronos, it's at the Indian Palace instead of the Evil
Laboratory where you usually face him.
Ending: As he walks out, he sees Long, after an exchange of words, they
proceed to fight.
-----------------
Shina the Leopard
-----------------
Shina is in the same boat as Gado, but is a little more agile than him.
Her moves back quite a punch, and like Cronos, she has a third beast
drive.  It doesn't have to be in hyper mode, but you need to do do a
grab move first when your opponent crouches, though, and the timing is
EXTERMELY HARD.
If given the time, Shina can become quite the powerhouse.  But her Mad
Trap beast drive isn't that reliable unless your opponent is very
gullible.  Not only that, but her flying drop is hard to pull off, so
you need to have fast fingers. More importantly, her "fake" moves can
easily trick opponents, allowing you to play some mind games with your
opponents.

Beast Drives:

Cross Blade Zapper: QCB x2,Be
Chaotic Midair Attack: Swirling Toss (See other moves), B, P, B x2, K
x2
Notes:
Her third beast drive is hard to pull off.  In order to time it just
right, you need to press the commands above VERY QUICKLY shortly after
throwing them.  It'll be easy to do in time.
For Shina's Countergrab, someone must try to kick her first.
Someone must attack Shina during her "Mad Trap" Beast drive.  Very low
or high hits are the only ones that don't cause her to counterattack.
The first three hits of the "Cross Blade Zapper" must connect or she
will not do the rest of the move.
Angry Crow Judgement does WHOPPING damage-almost 1/3 of an oppoenet's
health!!
Ending: A party is held in honor for her winning the tournament, and
even Cronos is having a good time.  After the celebration, Cronos wants
her help uncovering the Zoanthrope mystery, but she says she has to go
on.
---------------
Stun the Insect
---------------
Stun seems to be the wrestling type.  Like Ganesha, he has several grab
moves to use on his opponents.  He's a little on the slow side (Except
in Hyper Mode) and some his attacks are hard to pull off.  His grab
moves aren't as powerful and damaging like Ganeshas, but the fact that
his other moves are combos can make this small unfortunate flaw up.
But his grab combos are just as hard to pull off like Ganesha's,
meaning you'll have to practice with him a bit.  They have better
reach, though, so you'll have something to take advantage of.  His
moves do show a little lag in them, though, so watch it.

Notes:
As with Ganesha, his slam combos are hard too pull off. The only
difference is the fact that the motions aren't as complex as Ganesha's.
The Horn Ram can carry someone out of the arena.
His speed is insanely fast in hyper mode.
Ending: In the labratory, a group of soldiers proceed to fire at Stun,
but he turns into a beast and kills basically everyone with his awesome
strength.  King Orion can only stand there with a stunned look...
------------------
Uranus the Chimera
------------------
ABSOLUTE CHEAPNESS.  These two words best describe Uranus.  She's
quick, she's powerful, and she's cheap.  She's the whole package.  Not
only are many of her moves easy to pull off, but they do incredible
damage as well.  Can we say overpowered?
But you'll need to figure out how she works, first.  For staters, in
Beast Mode, if you press Punch or Kick, she'll pound the ground and
turn into a beast again.  This however, has two advantages for you.
The meter will be near filled to where you can turn into a beast, and
it does a fair amount of damage.  To stay as a beast, use the beast and
block buttons ONLY.
It's only in Hyper mode that both can be combined into the ultimate
