LEGEND:

The basics for this game have remained unchanged since the start of the 
vs. series, only you now have 4 basic buttons and 2 assist buttons. You 
can select the character's assist at the select screen.

To get a strong, you have to press jab, then jab to get a strong. For a 
forward, press short, then short. This only works in combos, however.. 
And you can cross these up as well, like jab to forward, or short to 
strong. The assist buttons call out your other two characters for an 
assisted attack. 

This is the layout:

Joystick------  Jab     Fierce    Assist 1

                Short    Forward   Assist 2

And the key to the moves and combos:

Superjump; SJ; SJump - quickly press down, then up

U- Up
UF- Up-Forward
F- Forward
DF- Down-Forward
D- Down
DB- Down-Back
B- Back
UB- Up-Back

D, DF, F - lists like these tell you to roll from down to forward in one 
motion, then apply the button presses.

XX- cancel (XX into is cancel into)

OTG- on the ground. Means that you can use a combo/move/super while the 
enemy is on the ground.

ASSIST- One of two buttons that will call in your other partners for a 
special quick attack.

SNAPBACK- D, DF, F + Assist button. Tired of your main opponent? Then 
force him out by doing a snapback. Assist 1 will bring in the 2nd 
character, while assist 2 will bring in the 3rd.

DELAYED HYPER COMBOS- This is also the first game where you can cancel 
supers into other supers. For instance, you use Venom Web, then cancel 
before Venom's finished into Tron's Lunch Rush. Both supers will 
connect, and Venom will switch out to Tron. You can also use 3 
supers/characters for this. Experiment with different teams to find a 
Delayed Hyper Combo that suits your characters.

DOUBLE/TRIPLE TEAM- Press both Assist buttons to activate all your 
characters supers. The super the character uses depends on which assist 
you picked. This move uses 2 or 3 bars of the super meter, depending on 
how many characters you still have, or how much super bar has been 
charged.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory, and if you really don't know how to 
play one of these games by now, then this probably isn't the place to 
start with.... :P

HISTORY:

-Who is Tron Bonne? - Tron first appeared in the first 3-D Megaman game 
called Megaman Legends (or Rockman Dash in Japan). She is the only 
sister of the Bonne clan of pirates.. Her older brother Teisel and her 
younger brother Bomb (also known as Baby Bonne). She's precocious, 
tempermental, and a bit vain.. She never goes anywhere without her Kobun 
helpers present.. She is 15 years old, and will return for Megaman 
Legends 2 and currently stars in the Misadventures of Tron Bonne. She 
also has a secret crush on Megaman, and had somewhat reformed at the end 
of Legends, but don't expect her to remain on the side of good for 
long.. ;) This is her first appearance in a VS game, or a fighting game, 
for that matter.


TAUNT:

- For the DC version, hold short and press start. Tron's mech stands 
still as she steps out of the driver's seat. She puts her hand on her 
cheek, with the other on her hip, and starts laughing at you. The Kobun 
jumps up and down laughing as well.

- For the arcade version, just press the start button.. Duh. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------

BASIC ATTACK LIST:

- Tron's basic attacks involve morphing and transforming her mech into 
weapons of destruction...

stand Jab - Poking Mech arm. Fair priority.

crouch Jab - Crouching Mech arm poke. Fair priority.

jumping Jab - Downward fist thrust. Good priority.

stand Strong - Stonebreaker multi-hit thrusting arm. Hits multiple times 
(4 hits max). Great priority. Pulls enemy in.

crouch Strong - Crouching satellite beam. 3 hits. Good priority. Pushes 
enemy away.

jumping Strong - Backhanded energy ball. Hits high. Good priority.

stand Fierce - Double spinning lariat punch. Hits twice, but only in 
corner. Knocks enemy away. Good priority. Has bad recovery if you use it 
outside of a corner.

crouch Fierce - Crouching Firewall. Insane priority and anti-air.

jumping Fierce - Air spinning lariat. Good priority. Good as a combo 
starter and finisher.

stand Short - Double shovel sweep knockdown. 2 hit knockdown, but can be 
interrupted after first hit. Good priority.

crouch Short - Crouching chainsaw blades - backs of arms become 
stability pillars. Great priority. 3 hits max. Can be interrupted.

jumping Short - Jumping double chainsaw blades. Hits diagonally down. 3 
hits max, and can be interrupted. Insane priority, great as a jump in.

stand Forward - Giant diagonal flamethrower. 3 hits max, and can be 
interrupted. Good priority.

crouch Forward - Double spiked yo-yo launch. Lifts up opponent. Good 
priority.

jumping Forward - Giant shovel push. Good priority.

stand R.house - Giant rock scoop and throw. Hits twice, if you activate 
close to enemy. Hold button down to hold rock, release to throw, or just 
press r.house once. Priority range differs on where opponent is.

crouch R.house - 4-legged spinning knockdown. Can move a bit while 
activating. Good priority.

jumping R.house - Enormous Rock Piledriver. Hits diagonally down. Good 
for jump ins and combo ending. Great priority.



TRON'S ASSISTS:
 
Alpha: Throw. Has short to medium range.. slow recovery time if missed, 
but is unblockable. Tron jumps out to throw the enemy. She basically 
appears where you were last standing, and tries to throw you. Good for 
starting up a small combo.

Beta: Flamethrower. Comes out fast, and in a diagonally upward stream 
for 3 hits. Great anti-air move. Useful for starting a combo as well.

Gamma: Satellite Beam. Slow to come out, creates a small, short pulse at 
waist below level. Has the ability to stun for about 1 real-time second.


TRON'S TEAM SUPERS:

-Tron's team supers depend on which assist you picked-

A: Lunch Rush - Probably the best one, because of it's massive chip 
damage.. and that's basically what you want if you've just pressed the 
Assist buttons together..

B: King Kobun - Still has a slow startup, and isn't too effective unless 
you comboed in the super before you pressed the Assist buttons..

G: King Kobun - See B.


TRON'S MOVES:

Kobun Launch: F, D, DF + P (fires a Kobun from out of the mech, 
parachutes down.) One hit move. Slow to connect. Basically an anti-air 
move, but only good at a distance. Jab throws it lower and close, while 
fierce throws it higher and farther. This can also be used in a combo, 
but beware the recovery.

Aim and Attack: D, DF, F + P (punch pressed determines angle of beam) 
has short range.. If the sight and beam connects, two Kobun will appear 
and attach to the enemy, holding them in place for a few seconds, 
allowing you to do a follow up attack. Jab is a straight beam, Fierce 
fires it at a 45 degree angle. The Kobun will retreat with red energy 
crystals which basically do nothing to help Tron. Best used to trap the 
enemy for a super/combo.

Bonne Strike: D, DF, F + K (kick pressed depends on how long it lasts) 
can be done in mid air.. Tron's Mech sprouts a drill arm, which drills 
the enemy while moving forward. If it connects, it hits multiple times. 
Good for comboing into, or for decent block damage. Can be a little 
cheap, though.. Press the buttons for more hits. Try to end all your 
combos with this move.


OTHER MOVES:

Throw: F+P: Tron's mech turns around and throws the enemy in the other 
direction. Pretty good priority in midair, but the ground one has worse 
priority.

Air Dash: F, F in midair. Good for suprise attacks or evasion 
strategies.

Rock Throw: Standing r.house. Tron's mech produces a boulder, and then 
throws it. You can hold the button to delay the throw, but it will 
eventually throw the boulder. Good wake-up hit, if you connect the 
start-up hit.

Moving Knockdown: Crouch r.house. You can move a short distance while 
doing this move. Use a super or Bonne Strike after this move.

Spining Punch: stand fierce. Hits once, then hits again. Most people 
forget that it hits twice. Use that to your advantage.

Launcher: Crouching Fierce. Tron's mech slams a fist down, which creates 
a pillar of fire, launching the opponent. Great priority.

Snapback: Standing Fierce animation. Still has the recovery time of a 
normal standing fierce.


TRON'S SUPERS:

Lunch Rush: D, DF, F + 2P 
Tron fires a gun into the enemy; her main Kobun whistles, and about 40-
75 Kobun come marching in over the opponent in a lunch rush.. Has close 
to medium range. If it misses, then prepare for a world of hurt. Best 
used in a combo. Notice that Data is among the hungry Kobun. The earlier 
Data appears, the more damage the super will cause. (pointed out by Kao 
Megura)

King Kobun: D, DB, B + 2P 
Tron's main Kobun grows to titantic proportions, and smashes the enemy 
repeatedly with a giant hammer. You can use the first hit from the 
Kobun's growth like Roll or Megaman's Hyper supers, knocking the enemy 
into the rest of the hits... Also best used in a combo. Can be used as 
an anti-air, but it is a bit tricky..

STRATEGY:

-Tron is slow but powerful. Most of her moves chain directly into 
others, so try different combinations. Her reach is pretty good, but you 
might be beaten by someone faster than you, so be careful. Her priority 
is great, except when executing a jump in combo, so try to superjump 
beforehand.. Her Bonne Strike can be done in mid-air, and she has an air 
dash forward, so utilize that... Use confusion tactics, and try to use 
everything at your disposal.. Her fierce punch hits twice, and not many 
know that. Use her knockdown (crouching r.house) to set up massive 
damage combos and supers.. but don't use the C.rhouse XX into King Kobun 
too often! Your opponents will expect it and will roll out of the super! 

The best way to use her is as a strategy character. Follow up anything 
that stuns your enemy with a sure fire Bonne Strike or a Super that fits 
in with the combo. Tron's jumping fierce is her best offensive advancing 
move. You should either land a throw, or start a combo that can be 
finished on the ground. Pester the hell out of everyone by using Bonne 
Strikes whenever possible.. works wonders on their concentration!! ;)

Omit some hits in the super-jump combos when facing characters that are 
smaller than Captain Commando, because the enemy will fall before you 
can finish the combo. For example, try to just use the weaker hits and 
XX into a Bonne Strike. Speaking of falling characters, use her jumping 
r.house as she falls to possibly stun the enemy again, followed by, you 
guessed it, a Bonne Strike! :D KEEP THEM GUESSING!!

TRON vs. ABYSS:

1st part- Block accordingly, and use the Bonne Strike as much as 
possible. Also, you can try using jumping short, and jump back and forth 
over Abyss' head, but be careful about his charges and supers...
Use her multi-hit moves behind him when he uses his beam super.

2nd part- Use jumping short a lot, and avoid a lot... Use the short 
Bonne Strike if you have time.. Try King Kobun for some decent damage.
Block often, and don't get caught by the bubbles. Use her jumping 
fierce, jab, or short to pop the bubbles.

3rd part- Avoid until you get a clear hit, and use the Bonne Strike and 
King Kobun if you have time.. Jumping fierce works too, but be careful 
of the lag time.. Jumping short works as well, and if you can follow 
anything up with a r.house Bonne Strike, which should put you out of his 
reach..
