     Ok, so I also desided to write a little thing about the man behind
 the "Ultimate Ein Guide". Well lets see here...ah I first started playing
 video games when I was 5 years old, I was playing an Odyessy2 at my gran-
 mothers house. Then you chould say I was hooked on gaming... Forever!

     After tons of diffrent types of games I played I finally desided to
 take a crack at Fighting games. I was in love! Fighting games are so much
 fun it makes sometimes look back at other games that I played and ask
 myself, how chould I have played that!? Well not really but I guess you
 get my point. :)

 [ http://www.base-9.com ]
 This is my personal domain. This mainly just has a ton of my crap on it.
 I have a little bit a gaming stuff up at the moment mainly Capcom vs SNK
 stuff. I might put up some Dead or Alive stuff though. :)

 [ http://www.doaon.com ]
 Here you will meet a really cool guy that goes by the name Wind-X. This
 is the best source on the net for every thing from Dead or Alive to
 Dead or Alive 2 (and all of its other versions). They have a really cool
 Fourm where you will meet alot of cool guys & gals. You might even catch
 me there sometimes. (^_^)

 [ http://www.virtuafighter.com ]
 This website is mantained by a wonderful person by the name of Ice-9.
 I suggest you take a look at his wonderful site.

 [ http://www.gamefaqs.com ]
 Yes! You love him, you hate him (how can you hate him?), but you will 
 never forget him. CJayC runs one of the best gaming sites on the net. 
 You can also find more of my FAQs on his site.

[ 1. Version History ] ===================================================

 The first version of the Ein Guide [v1.0]:
 Well this is the first version of the Ein Guide. In this Guide I will 
 try to basicly give you everything you will need to know about useing 
 Ein. This guide is not finished yet. But I do have alot to add to it.
 Just keep an I out on this Guide if you are an Ein lover! :) If you have 
 anything that you feel should be in this Ein Guide then send it too...
 tripleraid@base-9.com and I will add it, I will even make a new section
 if that is what I have to do! I will give you credit. Your name will be
 listed in the Credits section.

 [v1.1]
 I added a little stuff here and there, nothing big. But I am still not
 done with this guide yet. I still have alot to do.

[ 2. Introduction ] ======================================================

 Well with all the othe DOA2 movelist that I have I thought I should do
 an even better one for my favorite character Ein. Ein is a very strong
 fighter in DOA2. He is one of the strongest and at some times have moves
 that are as fast as lightning. Lets put it this way, a good Ein player
 can kick some ass! :)

 Why did I choose Ein? Well really because of his strength, and fighting
 style. Plus I think he is a cool guy. Now Ein is not my only favorite
 DOA2 fighter. I also love to play Leon, he is another cool character
 that is very strong. Also another reason I like Ein is because of his
 kick ass song! Vigaku! A matter of fact I am listening to it now! Man
 that song has some good sounding guitars in it. :) Did I say that Ein
 is just a cool dude, I mean who else's hobby whould be chopping Beer
 Bottles? :P

[ 3. DoA2 Story ] ========================================================

 At the end of the 20th century a great leader was murdered. His name was
 Fame Douglas, who was known as the sponsor of the legendary "Dead or
 Alive 1 World Combat Championship". Since his death, the world has become
 chaotic due to the lack of the presence of a great leader . In the midst
 of this choas, the "Dead or ALive 2 World Combat Championship" has been
 announced to take place. However, the true purpose and significance of
 the tournament have been lost with the death of Douglas. Even worse,
 the promoter of the "Dead or ALive 2 World Combat Championship" is
 responsible for Douglas's death. The new promoter is not just a corrupt
 being but one of pure evil. His involvement in the tournament has caused
 terror among the whole world resulting in the infamous Tengu Disaster
 that occurred at the end of the century.

[ 4. Who is Ein? ] =======================================================

 Name: Ein / The Lost Past
 Country: Unknown 
 Fighting Style: Karate
 Age: 23

 Ein was found unconscious deep in the woods of Germany. The spirit 
 of combat was instilled in his heart at an early age, and he mastered 
 Karate in record time, using it to find his inner self. He believes 
 something important awaits him at the end of his Dead Or Alive 2 battles. 
 Something far greater than even chopping beer bottles.

 SPECIAL MOVES
 -------------
 Appeal: Koi!                 B,f,b+S+P+K Taunt       0
  Ein will move his arm shouting Koi! It looks like he is telling you
   to come on and get a some of me! :)

  Ein will sling his arm (looks like a chop) to the side shouting Amai.


 TAG THROWS
 ----------
 Wind Dance - Tower Kick      [from Ayane] f,f+S+P+K
  Ayane will swing behind your opponent and kick your opponent HIGH
   into the air. As you are falling back down to the ground Ein will
   kick you hard in the gut. Ouch! :P

 Double Roundhouse            [to Ayane]   f,f+S+P+K
  Ein grabs the opponent and swings him to the side. You and Ayane both
   kick your opponent in the head. Ouch!

 Tag Firelight                [for anyone but Ayane] f,f+S+P+K
  I will use Leon as an example (you can choose whoever you want but
   Ayane for this move). So you have a team of Ein and Leon, Leon is in
   you do the f,f+S+P+K. Leon will grap the opponent and sling him to
   Ein. Ein will then chop the opponent in the back of the neck.

[ 11. Ein VS CPU opponents ] ============================================

 In this section I will write how about beating the CPU opponents. If
 you have a way of beating an opponent also that you whould like to share
 with all the other DoA2 Junkies out their then send it in to me. My
 e-mail address is tripleraid@base-9.com, please give the proper subject
 heading.
 NOTE: All of the CPU opponents are set to the VERY HARD difficulty.

 Ein vs Kasumi:

 Ein vs Gen-Fu:
 Now this is a very tough battle. The best way to beat Gen-Fu is to
 counter almost all of his attacks. Now you will need to throw in Ein's
 strong moves every chance you get. Gen-Fu is very strong (almost to
 strong). Now he will conter you some during the fight, his counter are
 very strong also. Another thing you should do is, every time you are up
 against a wall you need to do one of Ein's WALL THROWS (look at the move
 list for the move) to do even more damage to Gen-Fu. Try to stay out 
 of Gen-Fu's multi-part throws by repededly pressing the B button.

[ 12. Fun things to do with Ein ] =======================================

 Her is something that I find fun doing to my opponents. Close to the
 end of the match when your opponents life is ALLMOST gone and your next
 to an explosive wall. Do your Violent Flames (df,df+S+P) on them. If it
 K.O.'s them then everytime any explosion happends the Blurry affect will
 start making the Dreamcast slow down alot. This makes for an embarising
 slow light show. :)
