3.1  1ST IMPRESSION

     [Ramble ON]

     What's with the Japanese arcade fighting game
programmers' current fascination with the names Christie and
Vanessa?
     New characters in DOA3 and Tekken 4 are named Christie,
and new characters in KOF2000 and VF4 are named Vanessa.
     There must be a conspiracy somewhere in this.

     Given the 3D fighting games of DOA3 (Tecmo), Soul
Calibur 2 (Namco), Tekken 4 (Namco), and VF4 (Sega), I'm now
more interested in the development of Soul Calibur 2.

     For convenience, the technique names below are
transliterated into English alphabets by the more
common Hepburn convention, instead of the more precise
Kunrei convention.
     Warning: To sabotage non-Japanese game mag writers who
cowardly steal materials from non-Japanese game FAQs that
are deposited at Websites and don't honestly credit the
authors of those materials, plus just for fun, some of the
technique names are in fact items from the menu of a local
Japanese restaurant.
     (No, I'm not as creative as the great Jirawat Uttayaya.)
