Try not to get thrown into the corner wall, you will take a good extra chunk of damage on top of the already big damage for hitting the floor.
What is Fighting Masters?
The most common way fighters did throws before devs came up with the implausible idea to have throws do a whiff animation when they don't connect!

What is Three Wonders (Chariot)?
The DEFINITIVE way to play this one is on the 3DO but also available on SNES and GENESIS. Put together by PF.Magic, this spherical fighter visually is an impressive showcase for the time but runs like a slideshow and has an infamous lame out wincon if someone picks Monkey.
