This game still gets consistent play. This and Guardian Heroes are my favorite beat 'em ups.

Same. This game has a ton of moves. I even made a list, but damned if I can remember what I did with it.

Found it:

NORMAL ATTACKS

Shin Kick: Down + B
Jump Kick: Jump + B
Headbutt: Towards+A+B
Downward lunge kick: Jump, Down+B
Jumping Back Kick: (enemy behind you), Jump, back+B
Wall Jump: Jump towards a wall, press jump again when near the wall

RUNNING ATTACKS

Run: Toward x2
-> Clothesline: Run, then A
-> Powerkick: Run, then B
Dragon Spin Kick: Run, B+A
Hurricane Kick: Run, jump~B+A

SPECIAL ATTACKS

Standing Hurricane Kick: jump~B+A
Flurry Kicks: (Enemy stunned while vulnerable to a grab), get close, then down + B

WEAPON ATTACKS

Weapon throw: A+B (bat and ax)

ENEMY DOWN OPTIONS

Pounce Stomp: B+A (can do repeatedly)
Mount: (enemy down) Down+B+A
-> Punches: Press A rapidly after successful mount
(The best way to take full advantage of a downed enemy is to: (1.) Knock the enemy down, (2.) follow up with a pounce stomp, then (3.) Go into the mount, and (4.) finish up with the mounting punches.

DUCKING ATTACK OPTIONS

Duck: B+A
-> Uppercut: A
-> Knee: B

NOTE: The ducking uppercut can be use as a wake up tactic.

Back Kick: back+ B (while holding onto an enemy, kicks behind you)

Cool. This one was on my list when I still had a list of games I wanted. I found Astro Boy on clearance for 8.99 at Sam Goody the other day, that shit's hawt.

Guess the GBA is on its way out. The summer of 2001 seems like a lifetime ago.

Add these to your list:

Downward lunge kick (down+B while in the air),

Flurry kicks: when enemy is stunned (able to be grabbed) press down and B at the same time.

The air-launching kick from a grapple ala Double Dragon 2. Press up/foward and B simultaneously after two knees during a grapple.

Not sure if this counts, but if you jam on A+B at the same time, you can use the ducking attacks as a wake up attack after being knocked down. Bunch of enemies in front of you? Wake up with the ducking uppercut then go right into the ducking knee.

Anyone else know of any moves that haven't been mentioned.

It's only $10.00 now? Damn. I love this game and I lost my copy on vaction or something. Looks like it's time for a new one.

Thanks. I've been trying to figure out how to do those flurry kicks for a while now. I did them by accident once or twice and could never do them again. They are added to the list now.
