FAQ Ver. 4.0
Here it is, the last version of this FAQ (until something new like a
third boss is found). All the moves are here and the previously
undocumented moves are as well. The only things missing are most of
the names to the Super Moves. Oh, well...Have fun and enjoy!!!
-----------------------< Toh Shin Den - Basics >---------------------------
-Each character has a throw which is done by pulling back and hitting
either Hard attack when close to your opponent.
-Normal moves vary depending on where you are in relation to your opponent.
A Hard slash will be different if you are close to your opponent than if you
were a step or two back.
-Combos work by interupting a normal attack with a Special move ala Street
Fighter.
-You can select your characters alternate color by pressing the select button
on the character select screen.
-If your character gets knocked down, try a special move when you are on
your back and your legs are in the air and you will immediately go
into the special move surprising your opponent. Was that confusing?
---------------------< Toh Shin Den - Moves list >--------------------------
The special moves are listed with ascii directions which represent one of
the eight directions on the pad (as if you didn't know this already).
All moves are listed as if facing right.
(Up)
O O O Assume that the word Slash means
\ | / either Slash. Same applies to Kicks.
(Left) O- -O (Right)
/ | \
O O O
(Down)
SUPER MOVES are special moves that can be done at any time but can
be a pain to pull off. Most are worth the effort and they look cool!
Attacks in ( ) mean that you must hit both attack buttons listed at
the same time.
DESPERATION moves are moves that can only be done when your energy
bar is flashing red. These can drastically change the outcome of a match.
They are easy to do and can take away alot of energy. Another way of
doing them is to hit the two right top buttons simultaneously

------------< Toh Shin Den - Secrets and interesting things >--------------
To fight Sho who is the games REAL last boss, you must go through the game
without using a continue and you must be on NORMAL difficulty or harder.
Sho has the moves of Kayin and Eiji and then some. You will receive the
games real endings by beating Sho.
When you beat the game on a difficulty below NORMAL, you will only fight
Gaia. If you beat Gaia, you will recieve a " DESPERATION " move. If you beat
the game on a difficulty of NORMAL or harder and reach Sho by not using
any continues, and beat him, you will recieve a SUPER MOVE. It is
alright to continue when fighting against Sho.
Camera Options - 1) Set your control config to any type that does not use
the top buttons for special moves (i.e. control type 4).
Now go to the Camera option and you will find a new view
called Yourself. With this highlighted go back to the
control configs and choose type 33 or higher. You will
notice that the top buttons are now your camera angles.
From here you can do multiple things...
a) While playing, use the top buttons to rotate the
camera angle to whatever you like.
b) Pause the game and hit all four circular buttons +
select at the same time and the Continue, etc.
menu will go away. You are still able to change
the camera angle while paused.
c) Hit the circular buttons and select again and the
power bars will now go away. Now the top buttons and
the directional pad act as zoom features. Very cool
d) If you have a conrtoller in port two, try hitting
select. You will notice that it acts as a frame
advance button.
e) Finally hit all the circular buttons and select one
last time to bring back the Continue, etc. screen.
Play as Gaia - To play as Gaia, at the title screen when the words come
sliding from the sides onto the screen, do a fireball motion-
(Down, Diagonal Down-Forward, Forward) and hit Weak slash.
Weak slash is the Square button by default. You will hear the
word "FIGHT!" confirming the code worked. Now on the character
select screen, hold up on Eiji and hit any attack button. You
can now play as Gaia.
Play as Sho - After inputting the Gaia code, choose Gaia and deliberately
lose to your first opponent but do not continue. Now for the
code to work, you must make sure you have a controller in port
two. As in the Gaia code, when the opening title screen comes
up and the words come sliding onto the screen, input Forward,
Down, Diagonal Down-Forward and hit weak slash (aka Dragon
Punch motion). You should hear "FIGHT!" confirming the code
worked. Next, on the character select screen choose Kayin
and hold down and hit any attack button. You can now play as
Sho.
Instant Super Moves - After inputting the Gaia and Sho codes, choose Sho
and loose deliberately. Make sure you have a controller in
port one for the next part to work. Take controller one and
as in the other codes, as the words come sliding across the
screen hold diagonal down-right and hit the X button. You
should hear "FANTASTIC!!" confirming that the code worked.
Also the Vs. human etc. letters should now be white. Now,
anytime during the fight, simultaneaously hit all top buttons
and the select button at the same time. This will automatically
perform your characters Super Move. (I think this only works
with a control type that uses only two of the top four buttons
for special moves. If I am wrong tell me.)
Kayin's stage - If you were wondering what the text says when you pause the
game and see the Mario type image on one off the TV's, here
is what it says. "Can you wait a minute" ; makes sense since
you are pausing. This isn't a hint to a code unfortunately.
And for those who are wondering.....
Q: I saw Ellis and Eiji dressed different and with big heads in a
japanese PSX-mag. How can I get them?
A: The big head mode isn't actually in the game itself. It's on a CD that's
included with the Tohshinden Perfect Fighting Book strategy guide (coming
out Feb. 21 from Tokuma Shoten). The CD includes Ellis and Eiji
in two styles. The two dressed in black, and the big head mode (yes
they have very big heads to give them a funny, cartoony look).
