Version 1.00 ======================================================== ******INTRODUCTION****** ======================================================== In 1995, Bullet Proof Software entered the realm of Wrestling Video games with it's eye set on making the best Wrestling game possible. That game was Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling. Released only in Japan back in 1995, Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling featured a staggering, encyclopedic 129 Wrestler roster, plenty of modes to choose from and a insanely customizable array of options to set up match types that was unseen in any other Wrestling game at the time. The Wrestlers featured in Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling span across a multitude of different Wrestling promotions With a diverse cast of recognizable faces all disguised under different aliases including Wrestling Legends, Mixed Martial Artists, Shoot Fighters, Puroresu Megastars, and even Mexican Luchadors not featured in any Fire Pro game (up to 1995, at least). Yet, Gekitou's greatest features were marred by one simply unavoidable conflict which prevented the game from attaining critical acclaim and a respectable series of future installments. Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling looked and felt much too similar to the Fire Pro Wrestling series. Everything from Gekitou's gameplay, modes and even the graphical style of the Wrestlers themselves bared a striking resemblance to the Fire Pro Wrestling series (especially, Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special which was released one year prior to Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling...in 1994). But, even with this very glaring incovenience, Burning Pro Wrestling is still an interesting and worthwhile experience for the hardcore wrestling fanatic looking for an alternate take on the Fire Pro Wrestling series. Afterall, Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Now, on with the FAQ! ======================================================== ******THE CONTROLS****** ======================================================== -While standing: Approach enemy: Lockup y: Punch/Light Strike B: Medium Strike A: Dropkick/Strong Strike X: Run {Note: not every Wrestler can run} Up + Back + X/Up + Forward + X/Down + Back + XDown + Forward + X: Run in a diagonal direction While grappling: X: Irish Whip Y: Light Grapple B: Medium Grapple A: Strong Grapple Directional buttons + X/Y/B/A: additional grapples B: Cancel Pin (after certain grapples have been applied) Up + Back + X (Irish Whip opponent to the top left turnbuckle) Up + Forward + X (Irish Whip opponent to the top right turnbuckle) (Irish Whip opponent to the bottom left turnbuckle) Down + Forward + X (Irish Whip opponent to the bottom right turnbuckle) While near a turnbuckle: Up + Left + Y: Climb the top right turbuckle Up + Right + Y: Climb the top left turnbuckle Down + Left + Y: Climb the bottom left turnbuckle Down + Right + Y: Climb the bottom right turnbuckle While on the turnbuckle: Down: Climb down from the turnbuckle Y: Light Turbuckle Strike B: Medium Turnbuckle Strike A: Strong Turnbuckle Strike {Note: It is also possible to climb the turnbuckle when an opponent has already done so.

Escape: In specific matches, when a Wrestler tries to break free of a submission hold by reaching for the ring ropes. If the Wrestler reaches one one the ring ropes, an "Escape" will be called forcing the submission hold to be broken up. An Escape also deducts one point in specific match settings. If a Wrestler escapes with only one point left, they will lose the match under a "T.K.O.". Also in spefic conditions, if the submission hold is not broken out of after an Escape is called, the Referee will issue a 5 count warning. If the submission hold is not broken up by the count of 5, the Wrestler who applied the submission hold and refused to break from it, will be disqualified and lose the match.

The computer opponent will just stand there and wait for you to stop running. Continue running until the opponent's rage goes away and they return to their normal colour. -Dropkick Technique: Defeat computer opponents easily by using a Wrestler with a good Dropkick/Powerful Strike (Misawa for example). The computer opponent will always head towards your direction without stopping or being able to block leaving an excellent opening for Dropkicks/Powerful Strikes. Once your Dropkick/Powerful strike has connected, attempt to pick up your opponent (the more damage your opponent has taken, the less hassle they'll be to pick up) and follow up with another Dropkick to keep the chain going in order to gain a serious advantage in the process! ======================================================== ******FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS****** ======================================================== Q: Why does every Wrestler a weird name in this game? A: This is a common practice in Japanese Wrestling games. These weird names and altered looks are aliases put into place so the developers of Gekitou would avoid paying royalties to the actual real life Wrestlers or avoid being sued in the process. Q: Are there any secret characters to unlock? A: No, but, you can create them using the game's Edit mode. Q: Is there a playable english translation to this game? A: Yes, there is. You can find a fan made and very useful translation with a little bit of looking around online. Q: Why did you write a FAQ for this game? A: There was no FAQ for this game, so, I wrote one hoping to clear up any confusion and provide enough information, tips and tricks for players to get the most out of Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling. Q: Why did my Wrestler charge up on his own like a Super Saiyan? A: That's called Rage Mode. It happens when a Wrestler receives too much damage and wants to make a comeback before being defeated. Q: How can I turn on Rage Mode? A: You can't. It happens on it's own. ======================================================== ******SPECIAL THANKS****** ======================================================== I would personally like to thank: {Nintendo} for creating the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo systems. {Bullet Proof Software} for releasing Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling. {HUMAN Entertainment} for introducing me to the exciting world of Puroresu video games and creating the finest wrestling game series possible ...the Fire Pro Wrestling series. {GameFAQs} for creating and continuing to host the greatest FAQ website of all time. {TheSuicidalDragon} for their informative "Top 10" video series on Youtube. {cagematch.net} for their extensive and thorough Wrestling database. {PuroGeek} for inspiring me to write and contribute my own FAQ.
