In this guide, I'll show some of her moves and strategies listed here so sit back, relax, make yourselves comfortable and enjoy! ---------- 2. Basic Controls ---------- This is how you will use the "directional pad"... 7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3 Instead of using the numerical key for the movelist, I'll use the directional pad method... db- down backward (1) d- down (2) df- down forward (3) b- back (4) n- neutral (5) f- forward (6) ub- up backward (7) u- up (8) uf- up forward (9) A- Weak Attack B- Medium Attack C- Strong Attack D- Parry Blood Heat Mode- during Heat Mode: d,d,d+D (PC Mode) press ABC (AC Mode) Dash- tap f,f Backward Dash- tap b,b Air Dash- in air, tap f,f Backward Air Dash- in air, tap b,b High Jump- d then ub or uf Double Jump- jump then ub,u or uf Guard- b or vice versa Low Guard- db or vice versa Air Guard- ub or vice versa Throw- f/b+C (close range) [PC Mode] f/b+AD (close range) [AC Mode] Interruption- while blocking, d,df,f+D Shield Counter- after a successful parry, d,db,b+D Tactical Recovery- tap f,f/b,b or u,u when knocked down to the ground Air Recovery- tap A,A when knocked in the air ---------- 3. Summarization of Moves (Shion) ---------- Note: The C Button in most movelist is referred as "Kyou" (Strong) like in Namco X Capcom. My translation is poor. Special Moves Air Launcher df+B Etherlight Air f,d,df+A or B Etherlight Air (Kyou) f,d,df+C Etherlight Ground d,db,b+A or B Etherlight Ground (Kyou) d,db,b+C Slide Air In air, d,db,b+A or B Slide Air (Kyou) In air, d,db,b+C Cutting Sink b,d,db+A or B Cutting Sink (Kyou) b,d,db+C Ikaku Shageki d,df,f+A,B or C (Warned Fire Shots) Reload d,d+D Heat/Blood Heat Moves Black Barrel Replica b,db,d,df,f+C Last Arc (During Blood Heat Mode) Black Barrel Replica:Obelisk Parry attack in middle or crouch stance 3a. Explanation of Moves Etherlight Air- f,d,df+A,B or C Shion does an uppercut with the use of her Etherlight. Reminds me of KOF Kyo Kusanagi's Oniyaki. Combo: A- 2 Hits B- 7 Hits C- 8 Hits Etherlight Ground- d,db,b+A,B or C Shion ensnares her opponent's leg then trips them down. After the last hit of C version, you can combo/combo cancel it. Combo: C- 4 Hits Slide Air- In air, d,db,b+A,B or C Shion dives down then she will do a somersault throw when she grabs the opponent. During the C version, tap f or b. Combo: C- 6 Hits Cutting Sink- b,d,db+A,B or C In the A version, she will do a dash crouch. In the B version, she will do an arc kick that juggles the opponent in the air. In the C version, she will an arc kick at the air. Combo: B- 2 Hits C- 4 Hits Ikaku Shageki- d,df,f+A,B or C Shion fires her handgun at the ground. Combo: B- 3 Hits C- 5 Hits Reload- d,d+D Shion reloads her handgun. Her handgun contains 13 rounds and when all of her bullets are used up, she will also automatically reload it but it starts out slow. Black Barrel Replica- d,db,d,df,f+C Heat Mode: Shion flips a bullet then fires it vertically. Tap the buttons for multiple hits. Blood Heat Mode: Shion runs, does a launcher and flips a bullet then fires it vertically. Tap the buttons for multiple hits. Combo: A- 11 Hits B- 11 Hits C- 16 Hits (17 if lucky) Black Barrel Replica: Obelisk- During Blood Heat Mode, parry opponent's attack in middle or crouch stance Shion crouches down, aims her handgun then fires it horizontally and the opponent slams in the corner. Can you say KOS-MOS' X-BUSTER? XD Combo: 11 Hits+Wallslam ---------- 4. Arcade Mode Strategies ---------- In this mode, there are 4 (2 sub-boss, 2 main boss if you don't lose a battle) bosses and this was tested on Normal Difficulty. Well, I'll list 'em down! 4a. Yumizuka, Satsuki She loves to use her throws as her first attack (if you get close to her) but the deadly part is that she can dish out some heavy damage by performing a combo (or worse, her wind-up punch can super combo cancel to her strong version of wind-up punch!). Her disadvantage is that she always pulls out her throw moves, which slows her down. The simple way to do is this: try a combo of A,B,df+B,Etherlight Air or A,B,d+B,df+B,Etherlight Air (it may not work sometimes). If not, try pulling out Etherlight Air or Ikaku Shageki and a little luck would be your best bet. 4b. Tohno, Shiki He's a total idiot to deal with but don't underestimate him! He will combo you until he uses his super move that sends you flying in the corner. Get close to him and perform an A,B,d+B,df+B,in air A,B,f+C then pull out a combo then Etherlight (Kyou) to knock him down. If you didn't lose a battle once, you will encounter the last 2 bosses. 4c. Shiroi Ren Size DOES matter......anyways, the annoying part is she likes to crouch (that turns her into a cat) and she will do a A combo (sometimes she will cancel it to Fleur Freeze). The cheap way is to get close to her and use Etherlight Air over and over. Slide Air A version works well on her. 4d. Aozaki, Aoko Two words on her: TOO CHEAP!! If you try to avoid her, start defending now because she will abuse her "Soul Strike" moves (I like calling it Soul Strike) that will either bounce on the ground or richochet in the screen so get close to her and perform a combo then Etherlight Air or if you're feeling confident, slap her with the Black Barrel Replica (Blood Heat) and she's done! ---------- 5. The Seiyuu behind her? ---------- Shion's seiyuu is none other than Natsuki Rio! I'll also list her other characters she took part. Digimon Adventures 02 Miyako 'Kiyo' Inoue El Hazard Series Nanami Jinnai Full Metal Panic Eri Kagurazaka Getbackers Dakkanya Hevn Tokko Ryouko Ibuki Zoids Shinseiki Zero Naomi Fluegel Kingdom Hearts 2 Fuu Final Fantasy X/X-2 Lulu ---------- 6.
