New Japan Pro Wrestling - Toukon Retsuden 2 FAQ
Introduction
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he works in the off season as a
programmer for Yukes." These were my thoughts as I played New Japan Pro
Wrestling - Toukon Retsuden 2 for the first time. The update on the original,
which was released back in the fall of 1995, has resulted in a more detailed
representation of New Japan Pro Wrestling .
No one has ever complained about the original Toukon Retsuden so Yuke's have
concentrated their efforts on making the sequel a more detailed and fuller
gaming experience. Although it can be argued that Toukon Retsuden had the best
graphics of all the Playstation wrestling games combined with solid gameplay,
it fell short in other categories when compared to other wrestling games
released in the last year. Fire Pro Wrestling was it's first competitor and
had a strong following due to it's successful series on the SNES. Although the
gameplay and graphics were good the lack of selectable wrestlers and game
testing (ie. wrestler's standing on air outside the ropes, poor collision
detection, etc :( ) ultimately doomed the game as unfavourable when compared to
New Japan Pro Wrestling. Next in line was Champion Wrestler, which to this day
is probably the best wrestling game available on the Playstation besides TR2.
Here we saw a game filled with wrestlers from various promotions and different
match modes of play (singles, tag-team, battle royal) and it supported 4
players. On top of that there was a commentator who gave play-by-play
announcing throughout the matches. The only downside to the game, and it
wasn't a big one, was it's average 2-D graphics. Otherwise we had a serious
argument brewing to decide who would be declared champion. Shortly afterwards
the newest kid on the block, Virtual Pro Wrestling, appeared. Although Virtual
Pro Wrestling had a horde of wrestlers and promotions on tap it offered little
else that we hadn't already seen in both the New Japan and Fire Pro games.
Yuke's have taken the finer points from these other games and created the best
wrestling game available on the Playstation.
"So what's new" you may ask. Well to begin all the graphics look better than
ever. The wrestlers look more detailed, there are more venues and rings, and
camera flashes light up the arenas during each move. There are now 18
wrestlers with 8 more hidden throughout the game. Each wrestler's repertoire
has been increased with more moves as you will see with the sample move list I
have supplied further on in the FAQ. Also new to Toukon Retsuden 2 is the Tag
Team and Battle Royal modes. By using a multi-tap you and 3 friends can now go
toe to toe for wrestling supremacy. Realism has always been one of the
strengths of the game and this time Yuke's acquired Kensuke Sasaki as their
advisor to the game. All these additions add up to make this the wrestling
game of choice. If you are or ever have been a wrestling fan this is the
Playstation game for you.
Now where's my damn controller ... I've got to practice my Asai moonsault :)

Strategy & Rules
Rules
The following rules are used in the New Japan Pro Wrestling federation:
A wrestler can win by either pin, submission, count out or disqualification.
When a wrestler reaches the ropes his opponent has 5 seconds to break the hold.
If he does not he is disqualified.
Wrestler's applying illegal holds have 5 seconds to break the hold or are
disqualified.
Wrestler's leaving the ring have 20 seconds to return or are counted out of the
ring and lose. Double countouts, when both wrestlers are counted out of the
ring, are deemed a draw.
For Tag Team Matches only: If a wrestler/wrestlers enter the ring without being
tagged in they are warned by the referee and have to leave the ring within 5
seconds or their team is disqualified.
Strategy
New Japan Pro Wrestling employs 3 basic attack techniques: Punch/Kick, Strength
Move and Submission Hold. Executing moves are dependent on a few different
variables. The first is your position in relation to your opponent's position
and condition. Your opponent can be in any combination of the following
conditions: facing you, with their back to you, lying prone on the mat,
outside the ring, running and/or groggy. The second variable is the use of the
directional pad. Whether this is pressed or not determines which move to
select. A combination of the 2 variables selects what move the wrestler will
execute. (For more information on each wrestler's moves refer to the section
titled "Wrestler Moves List")
New Japan Pro Wrestling also employs a priority based system similar to the
rock/paper/scissors game that we all played as kids. The priority system in
the game works as follows: A Strength Move overrides a Punch/Kick, a
Submission Hold overrides a Strength Move and a Punch/Kick overrides a
Submission Hold.
Although unseen, all the wrestlers have Hit Points. The hit points are split
into 2 categories: Main HP and Sub HP. Main HP are depleted by doing
Punch/Kick or Strength Moves. Sub HP are depleted by executing
submission
holds.
When in a submission hold press the directional pad in the direction of the
nearest ropes and press any button repeatedly. Your wrestler will move towards
the ropes, which will result in your opponent having to release the hold. (see
the section titled "Rules" for more information)
There are also times when, due to the crowd's influence, a wrestler will become
stronger and receive a brief advantage over their opponent. This "rush" mode
happens once the wrestler has been on the receiving end for a while and has not
been able to execute an offensive move. "Rush" mode is indicated for a
wrestler when the crowd's cheers become louder and the wrestler's name begins
to flash. This "rush" mode also enables you to perform the hidden moves for
each wrestler.

New Japan Pro Wrestling - Toukon Retsuden 2 FAQ Version 1.0
author: Wayne Baker wbaker@wimsey.com
contributors: Craig Freyer Cfreyer815@aol.com
Brad Thiessen Soupboy1@aol.com
If you have any comments, suggestions, corrections or additions please contact
me at wbaker@wimsey.com
Questions For You!! (And maybe even a prize :))
I am still looking for more info on this great game. If anyone could provide
additional info on the following it would be greatly appreciated:
1) A translated manual. I do not speak or read Japanese, but if someone has
or can translate the manual I would be interested to hear from you. Of
particular interest would be sections within this FAQ that remain
untranslated.
2) Codes. I'm not sure if there are any more hidden wrestlers, but it wouldn't
surprise me. If you know of any other codes please let me know so I can update
the FAQ. Appropriate credit will be given.
3) Different Colours. Is there any way to change your wrestler's other than
in the practice mode? If you know how plaese let me know
4) The manual mentions the button combination of L1 + R1 + D-pad + X. Does
anyone know what this does. I have tried in game, menu screens, etc.,
but have no idea what it does.
5) Rush Moves. If you find any please let me know. I'm working on version
2.0 and would like to include the hidden moves for each wrestler. To make this
interesting and promote finding all these moves I have decided to hold a
competition. Everyone who sends me a rush move for a wrestler will be entered
into a draw to win a compilation video tape of New Japan Pro Wrestling. The
more rush moves you send me the more entries you will have into the prize draw.
There will only be one winner and the closing date will be March 23, 1997. The
winner will be announced the following day, March 24, 1997. BTW, I can make
the tape NTSC, PAL or SECAM so don't be discouraged if you live outside North
America. I don't know if anyone has ever given a prize away along with a FAQ
so this might be a first, and last if I don't get enough response.
Special Thanks To:
Brad - For the hidden wreslter info
Craig - For all the input and keeping me on my toes to make sure this thing got
out on time... well sort of on time :)
Joe @ Tronix - Thanks for getting the game to me so quickly during the busy
Christmas period and putting up with all the phone calls between
October and December that started with "Do you have a date for
Toukon Retsuden 2 yet??"
And a big NO THANKS To:
Activision - Besides the fact that they ruined a great game by
"Americanizing" it. Next time you want to copy stuff out of one of my
FAQ's you could at least ask. It's embarassing to you manual writer
and your company when there are passages of text that have been lifted
directly from someone else's FAQ. The least you could do is give me
credit for it.
For those who don't understand what I'm talking about read my FAQ for
the original Toukon Retsuden then read Activision's manual for Power
Move Pro Wrestling you'll get a strange feeling of deja-vu at certain
points. BTW, Just for the record my FAQ was written and published
during January 1996. Power Move Pro Wrestling came out November 14,
1996. I'll leave the rest to you.
