This move is a simple demonstration on how to make completely new moves without altering the default moves available in the game.

Name: Tongan Death Grip

Replaces: Unused Move 08CA (4449/444A)

Description: Meng's/Haku's finisher, a nerve pinch pin; basically a pinning choke.

Notes: I know it's supposed to be a choke, but I went with the animations from the Mandible Claw because it has a "Submit" section whereas the Choke Takedown does not.

Further Notes: I'll provide a 2-lined simple version of the code after the guide.

**Give your player the Burning Combo as a Front Special, the first 2 lines will change it during the match**

And now the guide...

This is more to give people a general idea of EVERYTHING that goes into making a move.

You'll need to consider a minimum of 4 things:

1) Toki Mods 1

2) Toki Mods 2

3) Animations/Toki Mods 3

4) Damage Mods

I'll use the above move as the example.

My Tongan Death Grip *is* a pinning Mandible Claw.

As a demonstration, I'll select and alter an unused move - move 08CA with animations 4449 (P1) and 444A (P2).

To start, I'll put the ENTIRE Mandible Claw over this Unused Move (Toki Mods, Animations and Damage Mods).

I won't post all of the work but here's what to look for:

Animation for Mandible Claw: 37F0 (P1) and 37F1 (P2)

Toki Mods 1 for Mandible Claw: 23 lines for P1 and 23 lines for P2.

Toki Mods 2 for Mandible Claw: 2 lines for P1 and 2 lines for P2.

Toki Mods 3 for Mandible Claw: 2 lines for P1 and 2 lines for P2.

To find Toki Mods 3: (37F0)(4) + 8033DA5C = The 2 lines for P1
~ These work like Toki Mods 2, add 4 to P1's first line to get P2's first line.

Damage Mods for Front Special Slot: 23 lines for P1 and 23 lines for P2.

We're only interested in the values here. We'll transfer these values over to the Unused Move, *except* the Damage Mods (they apply to the move slot, not the move).

Transfer the Toki Mods 1, 2 and 3 for the Mandible Claw over the Unused Move. We'll worry about the Damage Mods later.

Now you tweak the Toki Mods 1 however you want (change the sounds, etc...). I personally added a few extra crowd noises and changed the *SLAP* sound to more of a *thud*.

After this, follow my guide on making pin moves and use Grapple Mods to change the default linked pin to 0687 (the Claw's repeating/break/submit section).

Use any conditions you want (ID, Grapple Mods, etc...) in order give your character the move.

Now the Damage Mods. You need the move to pin instead of submit. Take the Damage Mod for your Front Special, make it start with 81 (instead of 80), add 22 and make the value 2300.

Tweak the Damage as you want.

Make the Damage Mods specific to when the player has the Unused Move and there we go, we're done.

Of course you don't have to go through all that *just* for a pinning Mandible Claw...

Here's the super-condensed version: No Toki Mods, no outrageous conditions, just a simple Grapple-specific Damage Mod.

Name: Pinning Mandible Claw

Replaces: Mandible Claw

Description: (see Name)

Notes: I only changed the default move into a pinning move, nothing else has been altered.
