If Jumping backwards, attacks from the air can be guarded. Attacking repeatedly over a guard can cause a guard break. Counters can now be done against normal moves as well. A member can be selected with the roulette option which changes them every fight.

Extra Mode ---------- Extra Mode POWer meter shortens by every character Lost. Dodge attacks can be canceled to a combo. ================================================================= SECRETS=====---- --==FriendShips==-- Press Start in the Order Select Screen to check the friendship between characters. --==Alternate Characters==-- Press Start when selecting the floowing characters to play with their alternate versions. Kyo, Mai, Billy, Fatal Fury Team, Art Of Fighting Team, Orochi Team --==New Victory Pose==-- Press D after beating the Opponent to see a character's new victory pose. --==Color Select==-- In the select Character screen, the Character's colors can be selected with the A-D button. ================================================================= ADDITIONAL INFO=====---- --==Kyo's Infinity==-- Kyo has an infinity in Extra mode. Do [Image]+ C from Hop(Dash) over and over. This move is reccomended only against the Computer. --==Autoguards on DMs==-- Ralf's Galactica Phantom and Goro's Root Grabber DM now have autoguards. Since the autoguard lasts uintil the move is executed, they can be strategically used when opponents are jumping in. --==Last Boss is Rugal==-- The last boss is different from the Player's Rugal or Omega Rugal, has a new stage and a new move. ================================================================= ADVICE FROM THE MADMAN Here are some personal advice on Yamazaki and Rugal from the Madman, Henry Moriarty. --==Yamazaki==-- Yamazaki is not much different from 97'. He still has his nice priority jump kick and punch, his Snake Arm is still fast and can be used for quick power up with the Snake Fake. His Guillotine is now like CrazyGlue- it rarely lets go of the opponent in the second hit, so use it and abuse it. His Sand sweep can be done with only the D button now- the B button changes it into the new Foot Cruncher. However there probably will not be much of a use with his old sand sweep anyway since it now pushes the opponent far away in a hit. The Foot Cruncher hits two times- on its way up, and on its way down. The second hit is unblockable while crouching, and it can be used in combos. Although it may seem like the Foot Cruncher has quick recovery time, it in fact can easily be countered with a feirce attack so use it with caution. --==Rugal==-- Do not overestimate Rugal- he is nowhere as strong as in 95', and definitely not a character for beginners. Rugal is at his strongest in a middle-distance. Since his attacks are long but slow, once an opponent is close up to him he has a hard time getting loose -so, always try to be on the offence. Basically, Rugal should not rely on his special moves and try to use them mostly in combos. His Reppuken comes out slow, his Kaiser Wave is big but comes out slower, his Godpress can easily be countered after a guard and his Dark barrier does not have the insane zero recovery like in 95'. His Genocide cutter is not a total anti-air but it can be usedful: just keep in mind that it should be used with B when insterting in a combo, and used with a D as an anti-air. The Gigatec Pressure is also pure suicide when guarded, so it should be done only in combos or when the opponent is hit with a counter- for example, right after a Genocide cutter that has switched damages with an opponent. His other Dm- the DeadEnd Screamer, is unguardable but too obvious a move and will easily get dodged by an opponent. Thus, try to use it to jump over an opponent when they are about to shoot a projectile. ================================================================= SPECIAL MOVES ================================================================= F- Forward D- Down BD- BackDown QCF- Quarter Circle Forward QCB- Quarter Circle Backward HCF- Half Circle Forward HCB- Half Circle Backward UCM- UpperCut Motion DHU- Down (Hold), Forward BHF- Back (hold), Forward MID-Aged Team Heidern Cross Cutter BHF + P Moon Slasher DHU + P Neck Rolling DHU + K Storm Bringer HCB + P Near Opponent Killing Bringer HCB + K --Final Bringer --QCF x 2 + P --Heidern's End --QCB, HCF + K ---------------- Takuma Sakazaki Tiger Projectile QCF + P Illusion Punches F, B, F + P Dashing Knees HCB + K Flying Double Kick BD(Hold), F + K Guard Shot QCB + P Haoh- Shikou Ken F, HCF + P (Hold To Power Up) --Demon's Death Shot --QCF x 2 + P Near Opponent --Dragon's Dance --(Command Uncomfirmed) ---------------- Saishu Kusanagi Darkness Sweeper QCF + P Flaming uppercut UCM + P God's Flair HCB + K Broken Wheels UCM + K Overflame QCB + P (can be repeated) --Orochinagi --QCB, HCF + P --Combo Flamer --QCF x 2 + P ================================ Yagami Team Iori Yagami Darkness Slayer QCF + P Demon Fryer UCM + P Nail Gale UCM + K Hazy Fists QCB + P (Can be done 3 in a row) Scum Gale HCB, F + P Near Opponent Darkshine Explosion HCB + K --The Forbitten Yaotome --QCF, HCB + P --Demonic Slayer --QCB, HCF + P ---------------- Mature Death Claws QCB + P (Can be done 3 in a row) De Side HCF + K Metal Massacre QCB + K Despair QCF + P Sacrilege UCM + P Ebony tears QCF, HCB + P --Nocturnal Lights --QCF x 2 + P --Heaven's Gate --QCB, HCF + P ---------------- Vice Outrage QCB + K Leivnas QCB + K in air Gore Fest HCB, F + P Near Opponent De Side HCF + K Black End HCF + P Near Opponent Mayhem HCB + K Mithen's Robe QCF + P after Mayhem or Black End --Withering Surface --QCF x 2 + P --Negative Gain --HCB x 2 + K Near Opponent ================================ USA 94' Team Heavy D!
