Special Moves

(Mash Punch buttons) (Can also be done in the air)
• Staff Strikes (Fuusetsu Zan) •
This is very similar to E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap from the Street Fighter games. You can do one of Sonson's regular moves and Cancel right into her Staff Strikes, which is handy.

Easy to combo with and difficult to counter when you're up close, great move, except your fingers will get tired from mashing the buttons all day.

(Can also be done in the air)
• Monkey Fireball (Shienbu) •
Shoots out three monkeys which travel along pretty slowly, for a projectile. Strength of button pressed controls the speed of your Monkey Fireball, with Hard Punch being faster.

(Can also be done in the air)
• Spinning Staff Uppercut (Seiten Rengeki) •
Essentially a Dragon Punch move for Sonson.

(When close)
• Kingin no Hisago (Command Grab) •
Sucks your enemy into a bottle, cooks them and shoots them out (this move takes awhile before it completes). While this is a command grab, it's blockable.

This has a good bit more range than your regular throw though and it does more damage.

• Ground Crawl •
Makes you crawl along the ground and your hitbox becomes very tiny. Pressing an attack button or executing a Special/Hyper move will stop your crawl and immediately make you do the resulting attack.

      or
• Wall Climb •
Sonson runs around the edges of the screen, if you press a Punch button she'll drop from whatever position she's at. Pressing Kick makes her do a Dive Kick attack.

or
or
• Air Dash •
Dash forwards or backwards in the air by using the commands listed above.

Hyper (Super) Moves

(Can also be done in the air)
• Giant Staff Smash (Tenchi Tsuukan) •
Sonson throws her staff into the air, and a giant end of it comes down to smash the other player. If you want to combo, you need to connect with Sonson's initial staff throw — which doesn't have much range.

• POW •
Makes the word Pow appear and travel across the screen. If it hits, your opponent turns into fruit which Sonson promptly eats and then spits out a seed... yeah, it's weird.

Big time start up on this move, making it all but impossible to combo with, but the hit box is pretty big.

• Monkey Form (En'ou) •
Turns you into a really big monkey which you can control with the joystick and buttons. This lasts for 4 seconds.

Pressing Kick makes you breathe fire and while you're doing so you can aim it up or down with the joystick. Punch buttons do various punch attacks.

Command Normals

• Gansai Hekiretsu •
