     This is an updated moves list. I like AoF more than that cheesy World
Heroes, and it has more variety than MK (1 of just a few faults).  SFIICE
where I usually play has the Stupid Chip in it and game balance is blown to
hell, so until things improve this is a pretty good temporary diversion.
I like the nice touches like showing head damage (now if we can just emulate
the rest of the body) and knocking John's sunglasses off.  Zooming in and out
may look confusing at first, but after you play it, it doesn't do anything
to affect game play. 
     Also, try experimenting with the Strong moves like pressing C and (A or B)
Also if you've already hit A or B, pressing C when in throw range will
execute a Strong move of the same type as your last button press 
(e.g. if you've already hit A and later hit C, a Strong Punch will come out).

     O ,/ , A

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also from  v066pz78@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (COMPUTER BLUE):

just another note:  use D often to taunt your enemy and decrease
their ability to do special moves.

also, all characters except Jack and Mickey can jump off the wall
and do a "triangle jump-kick".  Use this attack often and you can
easily beat the last guy without decreasing your magic power.
Then see if you can "Haow-ken" him at the end.

[Also helped update my list]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, about the Off the Wall kick.  Jump backwards, when you touch the side
of the screen, hit C to jump off.  Hitting up and C will give you greater 
range when jumping off.  After you jump off, A will punch(most characters),
B will kick(ditto), and C will allow you to attack in the opposite direction.
I'm not sure if you have to press backwards before you hit C in order to 
attack backwards.  Any extra tips, moves, or comments  can be mailed to me.
