The characters in Fuun Mokushiroku
Hayate / Looks like a burlier version of Ryu but carries a boomerang
Gozu / An orange garbed ninja with a gas mask on who attacks with claws
Carol / Blonde amazon in a short yellow skirt - holds a pink sphere
Mezu / Looks like a blue-garbed version of Gozu with a pointy face mask
Eagle / Birdie from the Street Fighter game may have a twin brother
Nicola / Jumpy little guy who holds a green / blue shield and sports white hair
Chung / Tung Fu Rue revived? Holds a wicked looking walking stick and wears blue shades
Shishioh / Muscular mohawked-fighter who wears boxing gloves and armored chest plate
Gordon / Big monstrous cop with a growth on his chest that looks like the mop of a Beatle
Joker / Scrawny clown with big red nose and 4-wheel inline skates

» The default button configuration for Fuun Mokushiroku is as follows:

SQUARE / Punch
CROSS / Kick
TRIANGLE / Weapon
CIRCLE / Depth Move
R1-TRIGGER / P + K
L1-TRIGGER / K + W
R2-TRIGGER / P + K + W

» The blood runs ruddy - use Gozu to slash away at someone and witness the ejection of thick red splotches. Gozu's claws can also deflect Carol's sphere attacks or Nicolas' shield throw.

» FM is a standard one-on-one fighting game featuring 10 characters with the lead being a fighter named Hayate who swings a boomerang during bouts. Each stage is 2-tiered with a lower level and an upper level that fighters may jump onto by pressing the CIRCLE button which is called the "Depth Move." The jumping up and out of the second tier may be used for strategic offensive purposes or to vamoose from a powerful attacker. Since every fighter utilizes a weapon, a mix of melee attacks may be mashed against an opponent.

» The game runs fast and controls well enough. It's a very good Neo Geo conversion

» Nicola cries like a little girl when defeated on the battlefield.

» The characters are mostly the same as before but the art style is different and sharper. Three new fighters join the cast.

Rosa / Bandana-wearing senorita who carries a katana
Gozu / He looks the same as he did in the first game
Shishioh / Muscular mohawked-fighter who wears boxing gloves and armored chest plate
Chung / The senior citizen with moxie returns to fight with his walking stick
Hayate / Still swinging that boomerang like his life depended on it
Kim Sue Il / A jumpy bead-wearing player who wears white/blue colors and fights with a stick
Mezu / Nothing much has changed with this blue ninja with pointy face mask and slashing claws
Gordon / His color scheme has changed but he's still fat and carries a wicked electrified Billy club that's called a Stantofar.
Joker / The big red nose is gone, replaced by a purplish blue proboscis - can throw cards and hit with a hammer
Eagle / Still imposing and ripped. Carries a sword

» The default button scheme for Fuun Super Tag Battle is:

SQUARE / Punch
CROSS / Kick
TRIANGLE / Weapon
CIRCLE / Change (Tag)
R1-TRIGGER / P + K
L1-TRIGGER / K + W
R2-TRIGGER / W + C

» Fuun Super Tag Battle features alternating 2-on-2 action where fighters tag out with each other to participate in the battle. Only 1-on-1 fighting action takes place at any one time however.

» Game options are 1-Player Only game or a Player 1 & Player 2 game. In the latter, the second player controls the second fighter in the duo and is only active when the first player tags out.

» When you're in your tag zone, press the D button to tag out with your partner.

» The blood runs ruddy and splotchy. Check out the spray whenever one of Joker's cards slices into a hapless opponent.

» The language in the game can be toggled to Japanese, English, Spanish, or Portuguese. The game speed may also be adjusted from Normal, Fast, or Low.
