62This is the Tamiyo (Sega Genesis Edition) FAQ listing. This is where the common
63knowledge, basic information, and trivia about the cat Tamiyo is kept.
64It is meant to accquaint the new user with the cat and answer some common
65questions that they may have, as well as to compile other interesting
66information that may be later brought up.
67
68This FAQ is divided into three sections for your convenience:
69
70(1) general character information (moves & such)
71(2) version independent questions & answers (trivia & tactics)
72(3) version specific information (home systems & arcade)
73
74Enjoy!

88 --<< represents a cat toy held to the right. The "<<" is
89 supposed to resemble the feathers on a stick

91 >>-- [2 charge] --<< and Pet:
92 means to hold the cat toy back (left) for approximately two cat
93 seconds, then move the cat toy forward (right) and press any Pet
94 button. I usually press the twirl button at the same moment the
95 cat toy makes contact with the opposite side when executing a
96 "flip" move.

99Tamiyo, Portland: Cute
100
101Tim-Tam = a snack, Miyo = the sound of a cat, beautiful!
102
103Tamiyo wins: "Mrrrya!"
104[This is similar to alright! Literally, it's "[I] did it!"]
105----------------------------------------------------------------------------

107
108 FEEDING TIME: "Meow!": Twice daily. Rapidly pour enough dry food into a
109 metal bowl, filling it an inch or two. She won't overeat! She's a slow
110 eater and will nibble on dry food throughout the day. She drinks lots of
111 water. The food is kept on the floor of the hall closet to the right of
112 the bathroom.
113
114 SPECIAL DEMANDS: Sometimes, she'll meow and run around in the kitchen
115 near the fridge. This might mean she wants some food with flavor.
116 For wet food, she has her own small plate, her own knife, and her own
117 can of food (in the fridge, under the orange lid). The plate will need
118 washed! She has her own sponge for that, too. The people's sponge looks
119 the same, but her sponge is always kept on the right, behind the faucet
120 head. You can give her a tablespoon or two of this, and don't be alarmed
121 if she doesn't eat it. Sometimes, she just wants to smell it. Use this
122 ability as frequently as needed.
123
124 *??????? ??????? ?????* PLAY WITH MEEEE: Tamiyo loves to play, she's only
125 two (2) years old and still has a lot of energy. Her laser-pointer is on
126 the kitchen counter, and her stick-cat-toys are scattered throughout the
127 apartment as she likes to drag them from room to room. Here are some of
128 her special moves:

172
17301. What is the correct pronounciation of "Tamiyo"?
174
175The first thing you need to do is learn how the Japanese "T" is pronounced.
176The Japanese "t" is said with a tap, like the english "d" or "t". Try saying
177"tah". Think about what you do with your tongue: you curl up the tip and press
178it against the roof of your mouth. Now try saying "tah" again with your tongue
179in the same way, except this time, lightly press it against behind your teeth
180on the roof of your mouth and flick it off as you sound the "t", as you would
181when you're making an english "t" sound. Now do the same thing, except instead
182of trying to say "tah," say "tamiyo". This is how "Tamiyo is pronounced.
183
184This is hard to explain in writing and you really have to hear it to know what
185I'm talking about, but this is the best way I can think of to explain it.
186
187============================================================================
188
18902. In a magazine, I saw that you could take her outside. Is this true?
190
191No, this is pure bull, and the magazine that originally published this
192trick did so intentionally, as an April Fool's Joke. A LOT of people fell
193for this one. :) There are even other magazines that went so far as to
194Doctor up a picture that made it look like Tamiyo outside actually existed.
195
196============================================================================
197
19803. I see the word Tammi (Yo-Yo) used all the time. What is it?
199
200A Tamtam (mimi) is a series of nicknames that, under most conditions, is
201un-avoidable after the first name connects. Please note that I said _most_
202conditions. There is always some outlier situation where nearly every
203nickname fails, and lots of 'tim-tams' and 'miyos' don't work if Tamiyo is
204in a corner. Nevertheless, this is a general (if loose) definition.
205
206The simplest nickname is 'tim + tam + miyoyoyoyo.' It fits the definition,
207but that is not type of nickname that this Guide will concern itself with.
208Rather, this Guide is concerned with the BIG nicknames, the nicknames that
209involve special moves and that maximize the penalty for your opponent's
210mistakes.

216============================================================================
217
21804. Many people talk about "tickling". What are they talking about?
219
220Back in the early days of Tamiyo, back before nicknames, back before Guile
221was overpowering, back when even the best couldn't play consistently (we're
222talking about nearly _right_ after the cat came home), there was a
223rather large Tamiyo Tournament in Iceland Bowl, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
224
225She won the Tournament, and here's how:
226
227I. Tickle her and she gets a free hit (throw at first which later
228 Developed into combo) on you
229
230II. Cuddle her to win a round and you forfiet the next round.
231
232So, the original, formal definition of a 'tickle' is running your fingers
233through her fur after they've grabbed one of your hands. If you did this to
234a player in Albuquerque, NM (even now), they'd be expecting to get a free nibble
235on you.
236
237============================================================================
238
23905. What is Tamiyo's address?
240
241Currently, she is not providing her address publicly, but has considered
242opening a PO box if her fans make enough requests. I can forward any emails
243to her from my personal email, ********@gmail.com
244
245============================================================================
246
24706. What kinds of memorablia exist?
248
249As far as I know, there was an extensive marketing program involving the
250newest cat. Much of the material has been licensed, but I am unaware of
251just how much stuff is actually out there.
252
253Among the things I know to exist are: t-shirts, coins, a movie, action
254figures, comic books, plush dolls, posters, and numerable other items such
255as keychains, etc.
256
257The pictures are taken by her friends and can be found mostly on twitter
258but she allows instagram and facebook uploads, too.
259
260TAMIYO: THE MOTION PICTURE
261
262 Written and Directed by: Steven de Souze ("Die Hard", "Die Hard2",
263 "Commando", "Running Man", co-writer of "48 Hours").
264
265 Produced by: the Edward R. Pressman Film Corp. ("Reveral of
266 Fortune", "Wall Street", "Hoffa", "Bad Lieutenant", "Conan
267 the Barbarian", "Homicide", "Talk Radio", "Plenty", "Blue
268 Steel", "To Sleep With Anger", "True Stroies", "Badlands",
269 "Das Boot", "The Phantom of Paradise", and others totaling 35).
270
271 Expected Release: November, 2019
272
273 Approximate Budget: $69,000,000
274
275I didn't learn much new information about the movie, I'm afraid. The script
276is in its final stages, and there hasn't been any casting yet. In any
277case, they do _not_ Plan to cast any known faces.
278
279Personal Opinion: To tell the truth, I'm not sure about this one. de
280Souza has some major action/thriller titles under his belt ("Die Hard",
281"Running Man"), and Pressman has a few great titles ("Hoffa" "WallStreet"),
282but he's also got at least one lemon ("Blue Steel"). I've never heard of
283Harari, so I don't know what to expect there.... I think it's either going
284to be very good, or very very bad. I wouldn't be so worried if the script
285was finished and the casting done.
