Babi had slept undisturbed in his tomb for over a millennium until he was suddenly jolted awake by a powerful force. As he struggled to regain his bearings, he realized that he had been pulled through a portal and transported to a strange old world.

Babi was a formidable fighter in his day, feared by many for his strength and brutality. He had once been a guardian of the afterlife, a fierce protector of the dead. But now, in this new world, he had no purpose, no duty but to fulfill the stemming rage and ambitions of his new summoner.

~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
In the ancient Palace Perimeter mining chamber, I observed my surroundings in the dimly lit space that had likely remained hidden for millennia. The air was thick with an otherworldly energy. Before me lay the fallen form of a combatant, one of the many warriors who had participated in the fighting palace. They were now motionless, their fate sealed by my allegiance to the Cosmic Oneness.

The asteroid's power surged through me, transforming me into a servant of favor. My mission was clear - to annihilate all who opposed the Old One's ambitions. With newfound power coursing through my veins, I felt invincible compared to my own time. The other fighters in the tournament were mere mortals, insects compared to my godliness.

Battle sounds echoed in the distance as fighters engaged in combat, but I knew I was the chosen one, the key to Froggou's ultimate ambition.

Suddenly, a disturbance in the air caught my attention. I turned to face the slender figure of a green woman, her eyes filled with fierce determination. She was my enemy, sent to thwart my mission, but I, Babi, the god of fertility and virility, could not be stopped.

I raised my stance, ready for warre, but the frogwoman remained still, her voice low and steady. "I know what you're here for," she said. "I knew what Froggou had planned. But, now that you're here? Now it all makes sense... " Her fist glowed with the same energy I had come to know on this Earth, raising it to her side.

"I didn't think anything good could come of me giving into it. Now it seems I was right. But at least now, I can finally kick your sorry ass!" She readied herself for battle, and I knew this was the resuming of a long-standing conflict.

Controls
========

Basic Controls
--------------

Babi is a 4-button fighter. Button X is his weak punch, button Y his hard punch, A for weak kick, and B for strong kick! We will use W. to mean weak, and S. for strong, regardless in this notation.

For this notation:
D - down
F - forward
U - up
B - back
x - button X (weak punch)
y - button Y (hard punch)
a - button A (weak kick)
b - button B (strong kick)

DF means diagonally down-forwards, UB diagonally up-back,
etc. If you see ab it means press button A and button B
simultaneously. x/y means hit either x or y, and so on.

Use the direction keys to move Babi. Press down to crouch,
and up to jump. Hold the direction facing away from the opponent
to guard. Babi can guard attacks while jumping, and move
when crouched.

When falling in the air, hit buttons X and Y at the same
time to recover. Hold a directional key when recovering to
move a little bit in that direction. If you are near the
ground when you hit xy, you will do a ground-based recovery
instead.

Babi has a taunt. To do it, press the start button.
