Primal Rage 4-button joystick movelist

Note: all moves & fatalites do work on SNES Primal Rage, though some are
very hard to do without a C&L arcade-quality joystick. Chaos' Churl &
Golden Shower fatalities are censored in SNES PR. Chaos doesn't do
anything during the Golder Shower and a censor sign appears. In the Churl,
Chaos doesn't suck his puke back in.

"Version 2.3 only" moves & fatalities are not in Genesis PR.

All moves & fatalities listed here work for the IBM PC version if you're
using a four-button joystick. If you're using the keyboard or a two-button
joystick, many of the moves are different. See the PR for IBM PC FAQ for
keyboard moves.

There is a separate movelist for Game Boy/Game Gear PR, and we're still
missing Diablo's fatality.

  There are three types of jumps in Primal Rage that can be done by any
characters.  First, to do a standard jump, just press up or diagonally up.
Pretty easy, eh?  The second type of jump is the long jump.  To do a long
jump, tap down, then do a "normal" jump immediately afterward.  This jump
will be higher and faster than the standard jump, and it will go much
farther. No more characters whose only jump is a drifter...  The third
type of jump is the most difficult, and most surprising jump in any game. 
It is a "hop jump" and you do it by pushing the direction you want to jump
(T or A), then down, then do the standard jump (i.e. T, D, UT, or A, D,
UA).  Additionally, the "hop jump" can now be done straight up, just tap
forward (or backward), down, and straight up!  Finally, unlike in Primal
Rage v1.7, you can execute Hop Jumps during matches with the computer (and
the computer can use them against you, too!) so your strategy will not
have to change quite as drastically.
