> 1. What are Guile’s “Handcuffs” and “Touch of Death” moves, and how, specifically, are they performed?

They are glitch moves from Street Fighter II. Specifically, the arcade version.

To do the handcuffs: Charge down for a flash kick. When your opponent is in throw range, hit Strong and kinda blend that in to the Up+Kick for the Flash Kick. Your opponent will get stuck to you. In this state, you can’t hit each other, and the game crashes once the timer hits zero. Then you have to reset the machine to get it working again.

Touch of Death: Same as the handcuffs, only you use Fierce for the throw. This will make the machine reboot all by itself.

Correct. (The quote is spoken by **The Joker** in _Batman_ right before they trash the museum. Lawrence is the big bald guy with the boom box.)

Incorrect.

Close enough. The charity in quesiton was actually the Boys’ and Girls’ Club of San Francisco.

Correct. (Although by “touch of death” I was referring to what is also known as the “magic throw”, which is slightly more complicated than you described, but you obviously know your stuff…)
