STEVE

Stage
Outside Zuni's, in the middle of the day.  There are customers 
inside the restaurant alternating between looking out from the 
windows and eating lunch.  There are a couple of crowds, including 
the regular Zuni's crew, standing nearby and watching / cheering the 
fighters on.  Occasionally a pedestrian wanders by, sometimes 
stopping to watch for a while.  Also occasionally, Tsu wanders on 
and tries to force someone to the KnK.
   Some or maybe all of the other Zuni's staff share this stage.  
The Zuni's staff in the background change according to who's 
fighting.

Entrance
Steve is standing there casually, his hands in his pockets, and 
looking up at the sky.  He looks down at his opponent, as if just 
noticing them, and asks "So, shall we fight then?", takes his hands 
out of his pockets and goes into his regular stance.

Special Entrances
 - Steve / Ann
   Steve:  Me?  Ann?  FIGHTING each other?  This sucks.
   Ann:    But there's nothing we can do.  Shall we fight then?
   Steve:  (Sighs)  Oh well...
   They bow and then go into their fighting stances

 - Steve / Ryuu-ou
   Ryuu-ou:  (Standing in an arrogant arms folded pose)  Show me
             what you have learnt, my student!
   Steve:    (Going into his stance)  That is SO cliched.
   Ryuu-ou:  (Following a moment later, grumbling)  Kids these
             days...

 - Steve / Hitomi
   Hitomi:  YOU!  I'll KILL you!
   Steve:  (sigh)  Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Victory Quotes
"If you play with Fire then you WILL get burnt!  ...sorry, just had 
to say that."
"Sorry about that... you alright?  Okay, I just walloped you into 
the ground, but apart from that."
(To Ann)  "...sorry, sis...  If only we didn't have to fight..."

Taunt
Brings his thumb to his teeth and flicks at forwards, and says "I 
bite my thumb at thee.  So nyah."

Advantages
 - Good combo ability
 - Very useful super moves.
 - Has remote 'auto tracking' specials.

Disadvantages
 - Relatively few special moves, and has significant startup time on
   one of them.
 - Has significant startup time on some of his moves
 - If there are Fire-less stages, then he loses access to a couple
   of moves in them


Command moves
 - Ryuenken
   F+HP
   Charges his fist with an energy flare and strikes outwards.  The 
flare makes the hit stronger, can cancel regular projectiles, and 
does block damage.

 - Kouryuenkyaku
   F+HK
   Steps forwards slightly, doing an axe kick with an energy flare 
around his foot.  This will hit a crouching opponent, whether 
they're blocking not - it has to be blocked high.


Special moves
 - Chaining
   If not allowed for in the game engine, he can chain normal moves 
together, in a basic weak to stronger sequence, and can also chain 
normal moves into command moves (Ryuenken and Kouryuenkyaku).  He 
can also chain air moves.

 - Ryuenba
   D, DF, F + P (can be done in air)
   A basic fireball move, the button used determines the direction.  
This can also be used in the air to fire downwards at an angle.

 - Shouryuenken
   F, D, DF + P
   A jumping uppercut type move, with energy flares around his 
fists, and lower to the ground than most.

 - Ryuengebakuhatsu
   D, DF, F + K
   Causes a small explosion to come from the ground.  Button 
determines position and direction - either right in front of his 
feet, going forwards;  close side of his opponent, going forwards;  
or far side, going backwards.  The right-by-the-feet one comes out 
very quickly, the other two versions take a while to come out.  If 
hit, the opponent is stunned for about a third of a second - if fast 
enough you can hit them during this stun period.


Supers
 - Chouryuenbashira
   D, DF, F, D, DF, F + PPP (can be done in air)
   Extends a hand towards the ground, and THEN there's the Super 
Move 'ching' and flash.  After that he gestures upwards and a large 
column of ki bursts upwards from the ground immediately below the 
opponent.  If it hit, then the opponent is flung up into the air and 
Steve can then follow up with any other move, including another 
Chouryuenbashira.
   To offset its incredibly good advantages, it has two big 
disadvantages.  One, there's a fair bit of startup time, and so is 
very hard to put into a combo (though it will combo readily off the 
right-by-his-feet version of the Ryuengebakuhatsu.)  Two, it doesn't 
do that much damage on its own.

 - Chouryuenba
   F, B, DB, D, DF, F + PPP (can be done in air)
   A large instant travel beam, much like the Shinkuu Hadouken in 
the VS games, with a very short startup time.  Can be done in the 
air, in which case it still travels horizontally.

 - Chikara Agari no Ryuen Ranbu
   (Increased Power Dragonfire Dance of Mayhem - I much prefer it in 
Japanese...  ^^;)
   D, DF, F, DF, D, DB, B + PPP (Level 3 only)
   A KOF style autocombo move, basically - he goes into a power up 
pose for a very brief moment (the Chikara Agari), then charges very 
quickly across the screen.  If he connects, he then goes into a fast 
and furious combo of energy-flared strikes.
