	OH NO!  I'm an Art of Fighting Junkie! (well, at least it's not
SFII I'm hooked on =^)  Anyways, here's some moves I've compiled so far
for this Neo*Geo winner.  I can't personally gaurantee the moves of the
other characters as I've never had the chance to play against another
person, only been playing the story mode (only Ryo and Robert are
selectable.)

	But first, some questions of my own:
1)  Does the speed in which you pull off your (special) move and length
  of button press affect the speed and strength of your move?
  (i.e.  slow/fast energy balls, powerful attacks, etc...)
2)  How much Ki does each move require?  (just curious)  ...in the case
  of the Haow-ken, I know... ALL =^)
3)  What do the various characters say during their moves?  Sounds
  like King says something like (phonetically) "nihon-keek!" with her
  fireball kick.  And I know John says something during his "sonic boom"
  move.
  
	NOW, the moves. =^)

	As with most move lists, it assumes right facing.

Ryo Sakazaki "<grunt>" and Robert Garcia "yeeeeeahhhh!"

        For the other characters, I've listed their names, and what
they say (if anything) during their "tease move" and "victory cry".
Dots indicate unknown (to me), or "nothing".

Final Notes:
        I noticed some of the moves are in this format:  /  O  X
                                                        O  /
But I was thinking maybe it shoud be:  /  -O  X  since that's how the
                                      O
Heinshipu-kyaku is done (that's what the game tells the player.)
Though I kinda wonder about John's Helicopter, the first format does
seem more appropriate as he does fly UP (and forward).  Well, we'll
eventually figure it out...
