* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: Subverted. Attacking a certain part of the body will cause an article of clothing to be knocked off, such as Ryoko's headband, [[Fridge Logic|the lightning bolt on Ray's shirt]] or Fei-Lin's breastplate (don't worry, she ''is'' wearing something under it). At this point, the character becomes dizzy for that round. The first game also had your characters take more damage when it was removed.
