----------------- Normal Moves ----------------- Primal Rage has only four buttons and a joystick. The first column of buttons are "Quick" attacks. The second are "Fierce." Both buttons pressed together are "Strong." Player 1 side joystick and button configuration: Up-Away Up Up-Toward Strong (UA) (U) (UT) ___|___ O O O | | \ | / Quick Fierce Away (A) O-- --O Toward (T) O O / | \ O O O O O Down-Away Down Down-Toward (DA) (D) (DT) Key: O = button pressed . = button not pressed U = Up T = Toward A = Away D = Down Full = Do a full circle Toward = full circle clockwise when facing right (T-D-A-U) Away = full circle counterclockwise when facing right (T-U-A-D) (think of a wheel rolling "away" or "toward" you're opponent) ? = Unknown A hyphen (-) represents a fluid motion. So you have to roll the joystick. For example: D-T is | \ --O which is Sub-Zero's (MK) freeze motion O O or Ken's (SF) fireball motion.

O ----------------- Special Moves ----------------- In most other games, a special move is performed by moving the joystick and then followed by the button(s). In PR, it's the opposite. The buttons you hold down determine which special move to perform, and moving the joysticks determines when that move comes out. Remember to HOLD down the buttons until you are done with the joystick movements! Some moves last longer if you hold down the buttons like Diablo's Torch. All Special Moves listed work on a 1.7 machine. * indicates 'Finishing Move' NOTE: These can be done from ANYWHERE but don't stand too close or you'll hit your opponent while trying to hold down the buttons! For those 'two-part' fatalities (Chaos, Vertigo ones), hold the first two buttons, then do the first set of joystick movements, press the remaining buttons WHILE STILL holding the first two buttons, and finish the remaining joystick movements. Easy enough? ** indicates 'Chomp a human, get more life' ///////// /ARMADON/ ///////// (The Hollows) _____________________________________________________________________________ | Bed-O-Nails: Armadon balls up like a porcupine with spikes sticking out | | of him. | | | | .

You can even volleyball your opponent twice in the air! Combos are easy to execute. Any time you connect with a hit (provided that there isn't much of a delay). You can immediately hit a button for a stronger attack which will commence immediately. You can do this in the air to achieve two hits in the air. And there's a bonus! Thunder claps the number of hits-in-combo. This only happens if you do at least 4 hits _and_ at least 35% damage. If you haven't seen it, the thunder and lightning are incredible. Especially when you're not expecting it. (but I guess you are now. =) The maximum number of claps is ten even though the number of hits may be higher. Key: (1) (2) Numbers are for which buttons are being pressed. (3) (4) The words 'in air' in parentheses (in air) means to hit the buttons while you are still in the air. Some damages are listed in parenthesis after the combo. ///////// /ARMADON/ ///////// o 3 Hit: Jumping 1, 1, Gut Gouger or Leaping Uppercut o 4 Hit: Jumping 3, low 1+2, low 1+2, low 1+2 o 4 Hit: Jumping 2, 2, 1, 2 o 4 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 1, 2, Leaping Uppercut (48%) o 5 Hit: Jumping 2, 1+2 (in air), 1+2, 1+2, Rushing Uppercut o 5 Hit: Jumping 4, 3+4 (in air), low 3+4, low 3+4, Spinning Death (52%) ////////// /BLIZZARD/ ////////// o 3 Hit: 1, Ice Geyser, jumping 1, 2+3(air throw) o 3 Hit: Jumping 3+4, ducking 1, ducking 3+4 o 4 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 1, Ice Geyser, jumping 1, 2+3 o 4 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 2, 2, low 3+4 (48%) o 4 Hit: Jumping 3+4, low 3, low 3+4, Mega Punch (45%) o 5 Hit: Jumping 4, 1+2 (in air), low 4, low 3+4, Mega Punch (short) o 5 Hit: Low 3+4, Ice Geyser, jumping 3, 1+2 (in air), Air Throw o 5 Hit: Jumping 3, 3+4 (in air), low 4, low 3+4, Mega Punch o 6 Hit: Jumping 3, 3+4 (in air), low 1, 1+2, Ice Geyser, jumping 1+2, Air throw o 6 Hit: Jumping 3+4, low 1, low 3+4, Ice Geyser, jumping 1+2, Air Throw (59%) o 8 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 1, Ice Geyser, jumping 3+4, 1, 1, low 3+4, Mega Punch (long) (61%) o 8+ Hit: Cold Breath, Punching Bag, jumping 2, 2+3 (35%+) /////// /CHAOS/ /////// o 4 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 1+2, 1+2, Battering Ram (47%) o 5 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 1, 3+4, Battering Ram, 2 o 5 Hit: Jumping 4, 1+2 (in air), low 4, low 3+4, Battering Ram //////// /DIABLO/ //////// o 4 Hit: Jumping 1+2, low 3, low 3, Hot Foot o 4 Hit: Torch, 1, 2, Hot Foot (50%) o 4 Hit: Torch, 2, 2, Hot Foot (60%) o 5 Hit: Jumping 4, 3, 1, 2, Hot Foot o 5 Hit: Jumping 4, 3+4, 3+4, 3+4, Hot Foot Hot Foot can be replaced with the Mega Lunge if done quick enough. //////// /SAURON/ //////// o 2 Hit: low 4, Cranium Crusher o 5 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 1, 1, 4, Cranium Crusher (48%) /////// /TALON/ /////// o 3 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 1, 1+2 o 3 Hit: 1, 4, Frantic Fury o 3 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 2, Jugular Bite o 3 Hit: Low 4, low 3+4, Frantic Fury o 5 Hit: 1+2, 1, 1, 4, Frantic Fury o 5 Hit: 1+2, 1, Pounce and Flip o 5 Hit: Jumping 2, 1, 1, Face Ripper, Frantic Fury o 5 Hit: Jumping 3+4, low 3, 1, 1+2, 4, Jugular Bite o 5 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 1, 1, Double Slash, Frantic Fury (49%) o 5 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 1, 1, Double Slash, Pounce and Flip (50%) o 6 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 2, 1+2, Pounce and Flip (50%) o 7 Hit: Jumping 3, low 1, low 1, low 1, Pounce and Flip o 7 Hit: Low 1, low 1, low 3+4, 1+2, Pounce and Flip (51%) o 10-13 Hit: Jumping 3+4, low 1, low 1, low 1, Double Slash, low 1, low 1, low 1, Jugular Bite or Pounce and Flip ///////// /VERTIGO/ ///////// o 2 Hit: low 3+4, Scorpion Sting o 3 Hit: low 3, low 3+4, Scorpion Sting o 4 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 1, 1, Come Slither, 12 (27%) o 4 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 2, low 2, Scorpion Sting (28%) o 4 Hit: low 1, low 1, low 1, 2 o 4 Hit: Come Slither, 1, 2, Scorpion Sting (27%) o 4 Hit: Jumping 1+2, 3, low 3+4, Scorpion Sting (44%) o 5 Hit: 2, 1+2, 2, 1+2, Scorpion Sting (42%) o 5 Hit: Jumping 3, 3+4 (in air), 2, 1+2, Scorpion Sting o 6 Hit: Jumping 2, 1+2 (in air), 1+2, 1+2, 1, Scorpion Sting o 6 Hit: 2, 1+2, Come Slither, 2, 1+2, Scorpion Sting o 7 Hit: Jumping 3+4, 2, 1+2, Come Slither, 2, 1+2, Scorpion Sting o 7 Hit: Jumping 4, 3+4 (in air), 1, 1, Come Slither, 1, 2, Scorpion Sting o 8 Hit: low 1,low 2,1+2,Come Slither, walk, low1, low2, 1+2, Scorpion Sting
