yay for triple posts!! seems like i'm the only one playing the game.
^ i found a glitch. I KO'd Natsuki, but right before that happened she sent out Duran, so I got knocked down at the same time, but not KO'd. So then I get a Mashiro. Looks like the program makes a Mashiro appear based off of the position of the character, not the status of their health.
Also, If any of you are still wondering about the special moves, there is a manual in the CD image. Just go to My Documents, right click on the drive where the game is mounted, and click Explore. Then go into the MANUAL folder and click on manual.htm. It has all the character special moves in it. If you can read katakana, you should be fine. If you can't google translate works pretty well. I still haven't figured out how to do Mikoto's child attack yet tho...
And, I answered my own question. To do the grab/throw, you go right next to them, hold down Forward, and press C.
