Flyers & command sheets

These are research notes, written to keep track of evidence. They're precise but dense. The AW-NET and game pages tell the same story in plainer language.

Detailed research notes. Quoted source text may be machine-translated.

An English guide to AW-NET flyers, posters and command sheets. Key labels are translated and the relevant content is summarised.

2004 spring campaign: A4 and A3 editions

Original A4 PDF · A4 preview · Original A3 PDF · A3 preview

The poster advertises the April 28 website redesign, a 1,500-shared-point offer for existing members and newcomers registering by May 31, and member prizes. It explains that points can buy Isuka EX characters, EX colours and mobile wallpapers. One hundred members could win a special Roger plush; a poster design is also illustrated. A tiny redesigned-homepage thumbnail preserves login controls, but most text inside it is unreadable. The carrier-menu diagram is translated in the image gallery. This preceding campaign should be distinguished from the later June extension and the separate 3,000-point promotion.

Geese Howard: promotional command sheet and compact command card

Original promotional PDF · Preview · Original compact card PDF · Preview

The promotional sheet announces playable Geese, adjusted for versus play. Its usage box specifies AW-NET membership, an AW card, and a purchase through NEOWAVE's character-edit content for 3,500 shared AW points. On character selection, put the cursor on K′ and confirm while holding Start. This is stronger evidence of Geese's price than a later fan-guide estimate. The compact version mainly reproduces the move list and printing/cutting instructions.

NEOWAVE Fight Money / ring event poster

Original PDF · Preview

Two event types reward special titles: Fight Money and ring collecting. The poster gives the first two November–December 2004 schedules and describes carrying balances into the second event. It states that an empty ring holder regains three rings after clearing CPU play, whereas the earliest web rules say one. Detailed dates, stakes and thresholds are explained in English in the history overview.

Kenju system sheet and character-command strip

Original system PDF · Preview · Original command-strip PDF · Preview

These are unreleased-game reference materials, not proof of a commercial Kenju AW-NET service. The system sheet illustrates joystick movement, four attack buttons, throws, Route Combination, Air Drive/air combos, boosted specials, guard counters, Dramatic Strike, an awakening mechanic, quicker recovery and Impact Defense. The narrow strip contains per-character move names and inputs. Its numerous proper move names are left in the original; the translations below explain its common notation and system headings.

Japanese English
ジャンプ / 移動 / しゃがむ Jump / move / crouch
弱パンチ / 強パンチ Light punch / heavy punch
弱キック / 強キック Light kick / heavy kick
投げ技 / 投げ抜け Throw / throw escape
ルートコンビネーション Route Combination
エアドライブ / エアコンボ Air Drive / air combo
始動技 Combo starter / launching move
ストライクゲージ Strike gauge
ブースト必殺技 Boosted special move
ガードカウンター Guard counter
ドラマティックストライク Dramatic Strike
拳獣覚醒 Kenju awakening (literally “fist-beast awakening”)
プレッシャーゲージ Pressure gauge
ダウン短縮 Shorten knockdown / faster recovery
インパクトディフェンス Impact Defense
技名 Move name
空中 In midair
同時押し Press simultaneously

The sheet shows an Air Drive starter requiring one-third Strike gauge and heavy punch + heavy kick, followed by a launcher hit and an upward jump into an air combo. Its bottom rows describe pressing down on landing to shorten eligible knockdowns and moving the joystick toward an incoming attack for Impact Defense, with down used against low attacks. Other special-case mechanics and character move lists should be read from the original diagrams rather than inferred as website features.
