There are very few faults in this game, and none affect the game play. The graphics are superb, the movements are fluid, the sound and music are realistic and astounding, and the game play is awesome. It's surprising that many people don't know about this game. They don't know what they're missing. As one of the few people to get this game when it was first released, I intially found it to be quite difficult to get used to, and to play. But my style of game play quickly helped me to adapt to this new system of running attacks and such, and I found an easy and fun character in JURI. I quickly learned how to utilize all her moves, making me one of the best players of this game. As of yet, no one that I've played has been able to beat me (if I'm playing as Juri). That is the main reason for writing this guide. I've recieved a lot of mail from my Galaxy Fight FAQ, asking how to beat the game, and so I've decided to use my favorite character to demonstrate how this game can be played. Please note that this is my style of play, and it is sometimes difficult for some gamers to play this way. This style involves close in fighting, with a lot of quick jabs and running attacks. For those who are more comfortable using uppercuts and fireballs, don't bother reading this or it'll be a waste of your time. Now enter the world of JURI... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CONTENTS : Version History Acknowledgements Character Information Notes on Game Play Normal Attacks Special Attacks Combos General Strategies Specific Strategies Juri's Ending Info Lacking/Needed ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VERSION HISTORY : 0.5 - Initial unreleased version; author's personal notes 0.7 - First released version; slightly reorganized; more information added ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS : SUNSOFT This is too awesome a game; hoping for a sequel Jason Saddrick (jsaddrick@csufullerton.edu) He bought me the game, the gamest mook, and showed me the pics in Diehard that made me want to buy this game Kelya Saddrick (kisaddrick@csufullerton.edu) Contributing writer; first person I know who used Juri; editing ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHARACTER INFORMATION : JURI THE SPACE BANDIT -> A beautiful woman who harnesses some awesome strength. Can often outmaneuver an opponent. Background : Juri was abandoned as a young child, and cast out because of her weaknesses. She learned to live on the streets as a bandit. She used what she stole to attempt to make a normal life for herself, but was cast away by the man she loved for a woman more beautiful than her. After that, she trained herself, becoming stronger and more beautiful. She was determined to become the strongest and most beautiful woman in the galaxy. She learned about Felden's coming and set out to meet him. She wants to prove herself. Origin: Unknown Stage : LEZAAR Age : 23 Earth Years Ht. : 165 cm / 3 (?)

A lot of running is involved, as well as the fact that there are no designated buttons for punches or kicks. For more information, I suggest (as a cheap plug) checking out my Galaxy Fight FAQ which is available through me and most sites that carry video game faqs. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NORMAL ATTACKS : Close (Standing Close); Far (Standing Far); D (Down); U (Up); F (Forward); A (A button); B (B button); C (C button); # after description (Damage rating) Close A - Knee Bash (18) Far A - Straight Kick (18) D+A - Gut Punch (18) U+A - Downwards Punch (18) UF+A - Downwards Punch (18) Close DASH+A - Knee Bash (27) Far DASH+A - Straight Kick (27) DASHU+A - Downwards Punch (27) DASHUF+A - Downwards Punch (27) Close B - Shin Kick (62) Far B - High Kick (62) D+B - Crouching Straight Kick (62) U+B - Flying Knee (62) UF+B - Flying Cross Kick (62) Close DASH+B - Shin Kick (93) Far DASH+B - High Kick (93) DASHU+B - Flying Knee (93) DASHUF+B - Flying Cross Kick (93) Close C - 2 Hits/Downwards Heel Kick (62/88) Far C - Elbow Smash (88) D+C - 2 attempted hits/Sweep Kick (88) U+C - Sideways Cross Kick (88) UF+C - Downwards Heel Kick (88) Close DASH+C - 2 Hits/Downwards Heel Kick (93/132) Far DASH+C - Elbow Smash (132) DASHU+C - Sideways Cross Kick (132) DASHUF+C - Downwards Heel Kick (132) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SPECIAL ATTACKS : (The number next to the move name is the damage rating.

It can be used in a combo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laser Stroke | -O | \ + A/B/C button (48/56/64/96) (64/72/80/112) | O O ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is extremely useful, especially in a running attack. It knocks your opponent clear across the screen if it connects. It can do massive damage if done at the right time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rolling Slicer | | \ -O + A/B/C button (40/56/72) (64/80/96) | O O ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is used best as a combo finisher. It also ticks off a good amount of damage. It's quick, and can be used as a counter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somersault Kick (80) | | / O- + A/B/C button | O O ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This would be her anti-air counter, but can also be useful as a running attack. It can tick off some good damage too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Needle Shot | Jump, O- / | \ -O + A/B/C button (48*64/56*72/64*80) | O O O ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is useful in attempting multiple hits in the air.

It does massive damage and comes out fairly quickly. Not much recovery time either. Very good in combos or for spectacular finishes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ COMBOS : - Jumping C, Crouching C - Crouching A, Somersault Kick - Standing Close A, Standing A, Crouching A x2, Rolling Slicer - Standing Close A, Crouching A x2, Crouching B, Rolling Slicer - Standing Far C, Galactica Cyclone - Standing Close A, Crouching B, Garing Elbow ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ GENERAL STRATEGIES : Basically, this is an offensive game. You don't last long playing turtle, especially with Juri. Running attacks are her specialty. She is the fastest character in the game, and has some pretty mean attacks. All of her attacks are useful. She's especially good in close-in fighting. Her jabs have priority over all other attacks. The best strategy is to knock your opponent down somehow, then switch off between crouching and standing A attacks as they get up, and as soon as they make a blocking mistake, combo them. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SPECIFIC STRATGIES : VS ROLF - Rolf can be annoying as he is the only person capable of the upper- cut, fireball combo. However, the CPU never uses him that way. Keep the fight close-in, because Juri lacks the fireball to counter those of Rolf. He frequently uses that hurricane kick type move, so block and use the crouching C when he lands. Then use one of the Rolling Slicer combos continuously. Against human players, stay close-in as well to prevent cheap fighting. Watch out for Rolf's jabs, because they are fast and setup for some nasty combos. Don't jump too much because his uppercut is very fast and he has his bomber move that does massive damage. VS KAZUMA - His fireball isn't as fast to come out as Rolf's, so there's not much to worry about in the fireball, uppercut thing. He likes to run and attack a lot, so interrupt his attack while he's still running at you with a crouching B or C (preferably B). When knocked down, go into the Rolling Slicer combo, then wait for him to run at you again. Against human players, watch out for a running attack, because most likely they are attempting the Ninja Death Tornado. Use the same techniques above for preventing such attacks. VS ALVAN - He's the biggest cheeser in the game next to Felden. He continually throws fireballs. Keep the fight close-in to prevent him from doing so. Remember, his fireballs take a while to come out, and you can attack the fireball. Use Jumping C, Crouching B or Standing A to setup for combos. Against human opponents, keep the same thing in mind, but watch out for the Super Alvan when his meter bar is flashing, because he can easily turn the game around with two moves. VS JURI - N/A vs. CPU (See Yacopu). Against human opponents, get ready for a quick game of hit and run attacks. Watch for combo set ups. That is the main thing most Juri players look for. VS ROOMI - Play defensively against her, because it pays off. Wait for her to attack first, then counter by running up and peforming a combo. Use the Crouching C or Galactica Cyclone when she runs at you. Watch out for her quick jabs which lead to some combos. Against human opponents, watch out for frequent air attacks and quick throws. Interrupt attacks with Crouching A. VS GUNTER - Against CPU, jumping straight up with C most of the time will easily beat him. But for those who care to try other things, just stay away from him as much as possible. His holds are deadly. Be careful with the Rolling Slicer, because if he blocks, he'll counter with a throw. Against human opponents, remember that Gunter is the second slowest in the game. Use your speed to take advantage. VS G.DONE - Keep using jabs and the Somersault Kick. It's hard to pull off combos because of his dodging ability. Watch out for frequent air attacks. Try not to let him get behind you either, because he has a lot of throws to choose from. This strategy is good for both human and CPU opponents. VS MUSAFAR - He's the slowest character in the game. Use your speed to beat him. Run in with A and use it to set up combos. Watch out for his jabs though, because they are second in speed to yours, and he can perform about seven hits before your out of range. Strategy is good for both human and CPU opponents. VS BONUS KUN - I'll just say one thing : He can't block! VS YACOPU - The only moves that will hit, are her crouching attacks, Needle Shot (if he jumps), Galactica Cyclone, the low hitting parts of the Rolling Slicer, and the Somersault Kick. Use the Crouching C frequently. When he changes, get ready to counter your own attacks. Use the same basic techniques against Rolf for this one. VS FELDEN - The best opening move is to jump with B as soon as the round begins. If he blocks, block his uppercut and counter with Crouching C. Always use the Needle Shot or B if you attempt an aerial attack. When you knock him down, immediately run up and perform Standing A's, moving into the Rolling Slicer combo. Occasionally, you can run up to him and perform this same combo, but it is relatively difficult because of his fireballs. Watch out for his plasma ball, because it dizzies usually. Also remember to block up when he jumps at you with his flying elbow. VS ROUWE - Block until you get an opportunity to knock him down, then do the Rolling Slicer combo continually. (That's the only way I've ever beaten him. If I never knock him down, I lose.) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ JURI'S ENDING : She says she thought Felden was immortal, but he was weaker than her and one must be both beautiful and strong to survive. For if you are weak, you will be destroyed and ugly, cast aside, so she vows to become more beautiful and stronger and someday good fortune will be hers. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INFO LACKING/NEEDED : - Anything you think may be missing (more combos/strategies) \\/// [ 0-0 ] =========================================================ooO=U=Ooo========== END OF JURI STRATEGY GUIDE/FAQ (C)1996 JGPALANCA ============================================================================
