After two defeats at previous Tournaments, Lion returned home doubting his 
own abilities. Proud of his son despite his losses, Lion's father encouraged
him to return to training and helped him regain his pride. A few months
later, the invitation for the Fourth World Fighting Tournament arrived. With
renewed confidence, Lion left home, claiming, "I am the only one who will
win the championship!"

[lowercase] indicate player should only TAB the directional pad/stick towards 
the specific 
direction, whereas [UPPERCASE] indicate a player should HOLD the 

directional 
pad/stick towards the specific direction.

7 8 9  There are also some FAQ uses the numbers on a keypad as shown at the
 \|/   left to indicate movement direction.
4-o-6
 /|\   Since the numbering system is more for advanced player and
 not so 

1 2 3  suitable to be used on this FAQ, I would use the direction abbreviation.
