Why can't I perform Hannahs Quick-rise special move?
It's mentioned in a number of different places online that Hannah has a quick-rise (or quick-recovery) special move that's performed by inputting 666 whilst getting up. After a large amount of testing, it has not been unable to be recreated or performed to any degree.
TLDR; Because it's not real.

Is there anything missing from this wiki?
Due to the fractured, and unfortunate history of this game, there exists very little documentation on it, and most of the documentation that does exist is incomplete (for instance, there are at least 5 special moves listed within this wiki that are not documented anywhere else online). With that in mind, even with the vast amount of in-game exploration that’s been done, there may still remain undiscovered things within the game. This, unfortunately, will more than likely remain the case until the game gets datamined.
If and when new things are discovered, they will be added to this wiki.
TLDR; We don’t know.
