Prerequisites: Punch 4, Athletics 3, Head Butt
Power Points: Boxing 4, Any 5
Description: This explosive move was practically invented by Birdie (although some people say someone from his gang actually developed it). When the fight starts, he would dash across the ring and blast his opponent with a devistating headbutt before the opponent realized the fight had begun. The move is considered by many to be a typical Birdie cheep shot, but it won him a lot of matches.
Note: Yes I did rip this off almost word for word from SF:STG's description for Balrog's Dashing Punch. I think that this is fitting, considering that Birdie (this version at least) is basically a Balrog rip-off.
System: Use the modifiers below.
Cost: 1 Willpower
Speed: +0
Damage: +4
Move: +4
Prerequisites: Punch 4
Power Points: Boxing 4, Any 5, Headbutt
Description: This hard headbutt is one of the most potent Special Maneuvers available to a warrior. The warrior craftily works his way around the ring, setting up his opponent for a powerful blow. The warrior actually turns his torso away from his opponent and then twists all the way forward as he slams his head down. This turning body motion gives the punch it's power.
Note: See note on Bull Head System: At the beginning of any combat turn, a player can play his fighter's Bull Horn Combat Card. This shows that his character is beginning to size up his opponent in preparation for a Bull Horn. During that same turn the player can use any other maneuver he wants, but the move has a -1 penalty to speed, damage, and move because the warrior is concentrating on setting up the Bull Head.
This can continue for up to four turns total. The player continues to use any maneuver he chooses, but all maneuvers have penalties of -1 to speed, damage, and move. At any time, including during the very first turn he played the Bull Horn card, she can choose to execute the Bull Horn instead of playing some other combat card. The modifiers for the Bull Horn depend on how may combat turns the warrior was allowed to prepare the Bull Horn:
| Combat Turns | Speed | Damage | Move |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | -1 | +4 | -3 |
| 2 | -1 | +5 | -1 |
| 3 | -0 | +6 | +1 |
| 4 | +1 | +7 | +3 |
This move can be used to dodge projectiles.

System: The Fighter chooses another technique that is level 4 or higher and one maneuver from that technique. The maneuver can be a special maneuver, Roundhouse Kick, or Fierce Punch. The Maneuver has no game effect and is only used for flavor. The technique chosen is used for calculating damage. The chart below shows the alpha counter maneuvers chosen by different styles.
| Brawling | Bull Head, (Birdie) |
| Bushin | Foot Sweep (Guy) |
| Ler Drit | Soul Throw (Rose), Fierce Punch (M. Bison) |
| Muay Thai | Roundhouse Kick (Adon, Sagat) |

If the attacking maneuver does multiple hits, then only the first one actually connects, the rest are lost when the Alpha counter interrupts. Even supers can be countered in this way.
Note: Only one Alpha Counter can be used per round, if multiple opponents attack a fighter, only one can be countered per turn. However, if your block interrupts their moves, then you still get full block soak against them.

Description: Probably the most powerful (and definitely the most bizarre) non-super maneuver in the Mad Gear's arsenal. The fighter runs forward, Jitte extended. He catches his opponent's shoulders between the blade and prong of his Jitte, flipping him over, and then runs back the way he came, pushing his inverted victim's head along the ground. While the opponent is getting his hair rubbed off, the fighter is filling the opponent with chi, which then ignites and the fighter drops his burning victim.
System: The fighter drags his opponent at least two hexes, although he can drag them up to his athletics +2 if he so chooses. The opponent suffers three hits (the catch, the dragging, and the burning) and also suffers a knockdown. The final hit's damage is computed with the focus technique.
