TAB Combo Generator

Before I start-- The generator got its name apparently just by coincidence when I was thinking of branding by my own initials and then ending up with adding a "THE" before it just to make it sound fancy.

I've been working on this since about a week I guess and the major part, that is, the scripting part is over. I repeat, it is OVER. The reason why I'm posting this WIP thread basically is because I need a catalog of moves which I currently don't have. I was not there when TAP's CG was up and running. I do somehow have the swf [wayback machine] but it just doesn't work offline. I opened flash and then opened the swf from there and got this message in the output panel:
Error opening URL "file:///E|/flash/others/movesXml.xml"

So, I could infer that the site's CG directory had a file named movesXml.xml from which it extracted all the moves. So, I again went up downloaded that too and placed in the same directory but still it wouldn't work. It was now clear it had complete interactions with the main server itself and there was no hope reviving it.

So, here I am designing a CG myself so that this community's needs are satisfied.
I need a catalog of moves. I wasn't there when TAP was online. So, I don't have much detailed idea about various types of moves. If anyone remembers some moves or you already know some then please post 'em up here.
[I'll credit you if you're worth it]

I've basically made 4 options
Simple | Advanced | Sword | Special
And I've added provisions for selecting a Starter move and Finisher move. I've set a Minimum and Maximum cap of 3 and 50 respectively.

The Catalog-

[30 June]UPDATE:
-Improved cheat input
-Added "Copy to Clipboard" feature
-Invokes user to use arrows keys on repeated clicking of arrow buttons
-Fixed bug which would have allowed access to insane moves even without cheat
-Fixed other minor bugs
-Right-click>Print

[7th July]UPDATE:
-Added 6 different color themes to suit your eye.
-Layout also done
-95% Finished

Screenshot (Click to Show)


I would also appreciate any other suggestions you might want to see in the generator. I've already thought of the layout design. It's going to be green and white [more white, less green]

I'm not embedding the swf in the thread itself because its dimension is too big to be properly displayed over here. So, there you go:
http://filz.us/JqP

Report me any bug that you find since this is, well, a beta test.

Oh, before I leave, here is a forbidden word that I expect someone to misuse:
"holyfuck"
Go figure out. This one's an easter egg

EDIT: I'll appreciate if you could classify the moves into their respective category and post. This will take a lot of load off my shoulders.
EDIT: For special moves, that would basically include gunshots, lasers or anything unrelated to hand-to-hand combat.

The Ashish Beck Combo Generator? Easter Egg : "Show me some Love"?
That's a creative title, and hilarious (for the Easter Egg part).

Well, here's what I thought and found for those combos :
Simple : Jab, uppercut, grab, sweep kick, flying kick, elbow, knee, counter-,
Advanced : Ground slam, throw, bone breaker, choke, charge, head-butt,
Sword : Slash, stab,
Special : Gun shot, beam,
I've checked previous BSE threads, if you wanna know how I could get those combos (for reminder, it's not all of them).
If only I could visit TAP Combo Generator when it was still there, maybe I can give you some more. I wonder how it was look like before goes down.

Good luck finding another catalogs. I totally support you, and thanks for making this CG. This is really a giant step for this community to make combo animations.
Also, maybe I'm gonna add these combos here by editing this post. So, keep an eye for it.

no no, that isn't the Easter egg. That is a section which is under construction. I'll have my social accounts linked over there. I've just made them invisible ATM.

The forbidden word is "holyfuck" and you've to figure out yourself what has to be done with it to unlock the Easter egg.

And thanks for the list. I might update them in the main thread sometime later.

Some of you are giving moves which are like a finisher because the opponent won't have a chance of survival. So, I'm making a separate section for it. And I'm not accepting every move because I find that you cannot literally pull off moves like that in between a combat. Like tsunami, meteorite and flamethrower. But if you can prove me wrong then I might add them. Convince me.

Well it is possible if you do it with some kind of comedic style where the fighter get's something completely our of nowhere. Here's a great example from Endo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBFVJNXfphM There's that GIANT sword and shotgun.

Anyway. Here's some of my list:
Simple - Ax Kick, Hook punch
Advanced - Multi kick, Brainbuster, Butterfly kick
Special - Falcon Punch, Decapitation, Shoryuken

So apparently the easter egg is that if you type in "holyfuck" It unlocks a new category for the finisher called "Let the Butt hurt Begin!." The moves are classified as insane.
As for moves I'd like to see in this:

Simple - Stomp, Push, Karate chop
Advanced - Drop kick, Kick to the nuts, PELVIC THRUST

Not every animator will be so much humorous to do that thing. People prefer intensity over comedy.

Some moves I find doesn't seem to be appropriate. BSE never had moves like these. And also shoryuken is nothing but uppercut. Sorry if I'm being too aggressive but it has to go this way.

I love this guy.
Info-You don't really have to type in the text field. It's just like how you type in computer games.

Well, you could add it in the 'Special' category as 'Comedy Attack' or 'Something Funny' or 'Freestyle' (or compile them all under the insane finishers). I also think that Simple should only have 'Punch', 'Kick' and other nondescript moves. Also, Sword: Pommel/Handle Bash, Riposte, Backwards Stab (the only move that confused me from TAP's generator)
