Special Skills Explained

[krendall2006]

I found this post explaining the special skills for Fire Pro Returns. They should work the same for this game since the names are the same.

Just so people know, the official game manual is located here: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/564230/manuals/FPW_en_0707.pdf

You can also find it on the Fire Pro Wrestling page on the Steam client. Oddly, the Steam website doesn't have a link to it. I found the link to the manual on the FPWW English blog. Anyway, the special skills are detailed in the manual, along with pretty much everything else.

Game manuals on Steam are kind of hidden in plain sight. Which is a shame, really. The manual for this game has so much vital information for newcomers. (As well as vets who may have forgotten what the terms mean.)

Yeah, I saw the manual, but it doesn't really explain how those skills work.

I suppose not. The manual isn't perfect, but it's still a decent resource.
