Stick with pure grappling, concentrating primarily on basic holds and strikes from an Irish whip. STRIKES Because his punch and kick stats are low, you really don't want to use Mascaras' basic strikes. Instead you should grapple and whip your opponent into the ropes to use the running strikes, where he has a Specialty Move and his Finisher, the Flying Cross Chop. GRAPPLES As expected, Mil Mascaras has a solid set of moves he can perform from a grapple. Follow the basic Fire Pro strategy of weak-to-strong and you will get results with Mil. You have to love the fact that Mil Mascaras has the Back Switch as a regular grapple move. This means he can switch to a front grapple to a back grapple with the press of a button, something most of the other wrestlers cannot do. You will want to use this to your advantage. Last but not least, don't forget to use the Romero Special when the opponent is face down on the mat and use the Diving Body Attack off the top turnbuckle. ====================== ==SECTION 5: CLOSING== ====================== In closing, I would like to thank: * ViperMask, who borrowed my formatting for his great Tiger Mask FAQ.
