*****************************************************************************
Version 6.0 - I've completely re-designed the FAQ, making it look a bit more
mature and deleting all my comments. I basically wrote this
guide when I was 15, I'm almost 18 now. :P The format should
really make it easier for people to find things now. I'll
format the other 4 characters when I get back(Bison, Karin,
Ken, R.Mika) from Sydney.
Version Last - I think I've covered everything in the game, if there is
something missing(besides the button sequences for the
color uniforms, there's other guides for that), let me know.
I've added the Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper movelists as
well as refurbished some of the older lists.

=============================================================================
----------------------------- [ Introduction ] ------------------------------
=============================================================================
I've completely re-designed the guide including re-editing(a lot of
corrections to the game as well as move descriptions) to the guide as well.
I was very unhappy with the guide for about a year after realizing how
sloppy the guide had looked and how immature the guide had sounded as well.
So basically less immaturity can be found in the guide with a much better
looking and easier to read format. I've also decided to add in my
Miscellaneous SFA3 guide to this guide as well, instead of having people
click on multiple guides to find information.
Deleted from the Misc. guide were the information about character
appearences as well character 'ratings' since I really thought it was just
useless stuff and I based my facts on opinions(which is a no-no).
There will probably be one last update to this guide however, and that's
the inclusion of the Gameboy Advance characters and extras...potentially.
Once I get my copy of SFA3 Advance, I'll be sure to update the guide ASAP.
- [ Using this guide ] -
This guide was specifically designed for all levels of experience. The
character's movelist is located at the top, while the 2nd portion of the
movelists is that character's set of supers.
Below it are move descriptions encased in boxes to help out those new to
the game. Kao Megura also wrote a stunning guide on SFA3, you should check
it out at www.gamefaqs.com
Also, I won't answer any emails with help in Street Fighter Alpha 3, sorry
but I've done all I can in this guide, if you can't find the information
you are looking for in this guide or at GameFAQs, then I don't know what to
say.
=============================================================================
--------------------- [ Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper ] ----------------------
=============================================================================
There have been a few chances to the Street Fighter Alpha 3 version on the
GBA. For one, there are only 9 or so stages in the game, with the critical
ones(like Vega's Spain stage or Bison's boss stage) intact. Not all poses
are in the game, nor are all the pre-battle introductions either. Mid boss
introductions and post battle reactions are gone.
All characters have the same ending except Evil Ryu. The announcer is
absent. Some of the music has been taken out, while the rest are digitized
to midi quality. Some characters share the same voices. World Tour Mode is
no longer available.
Now, aside from the long list of minuses, there are a few list of pluses.
Three new characters are included: Eagle, Maki, and Yun. You can convert
the game's controls to Simple Mode to perform supers easier. Final Bison
is available, which is good news for those who only owned the Playstation
version.
The game, despite it's short comings, is still a very good game to play.
Though the difficulty is almost unmatched, you will find this especially
true in Boss Survival Mode or 50 Battle Survivor Mode. The game itself
in terms of controls, graphics, and gameplay is almost completely true to
it's console counterparts that it is almost remarkable. The extras itself
should warrant some fans to pick up a copy though.
=============================================================================

=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Adon ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Adon ] - Warrior in Sagat's Shadow
Jaguar Teeth - B,D,DB+K(A-ISM and V-ISM)
Jaguar Teeth - B,D,DF+K(air)(X-ISM)
Jaguar Tooth - F,DF,D,DB,B+K
Jaguar Knee - F,D,DF+K
Jaguar Crunch - F+SP
Jaguar Varied Assault - D,DF,F,D,DF+(?)P(A-ISM and X-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b
Jaguar Varied Assault(P) - D,DF,F,D,DF+3P then P(A-ISM and X-ISM)(Level 3)
Jaguar Varied Assault(K) - D,DF,F,D,DF+3P then K(A-ISM and X-ISM)(level 3)
Jaguar Revolver - D,DF,F [x2] +(?)K(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
- [ Jaguar Teeth ] -
Basically good surprise move against fireballers. The short version will
have Adon going in an arc form but has little horizontal range, the Foward
version goes at a lower arc but has more horizontal range, while the
Roundhouse version has a lower 180 degree arc but has alot of horizontal
range, try to figure out when to use each version to psych out the opponent.
- [ Jaguar Teeth ] -
This move is pretty much the same except that it can only be done in the
air.
- [ Jaguar Tooth ] -
This attack will have Adon leave off the wall behind him and come down with
a rather quick surprise attack against the opponent at an angle. You can
counter this if you time your jumping attack to go over Adon just as he
reaches you.
- [ Jaguar Knee ] -
His anti-air attack has good priority and can hit twice if up close to the
opponent.
- [ Jaguar Crunch ] -
Ducking opponents cannot block this, watch for the start up, it starts out
slow and leaves Adon vulnerable to attacks.
-- [ Jaguar Varied Assault ] --
This is a quick attack against the opposition, but range is extremely
limited. It'll combo well and go through projectiles initially through
the first frames of animation.
-- [ Jaguar Varied Assault ] --
After a series of quick ground attack, Adon will hit the opponent in a
Hundred Hand Slap like motion. To do this, press punch during the super at
level 3.
-- [ Jaguar Varied Assault ] --
Pressing k when doing the level 3 version of this super will result in a 3
hit Jaguar Knee after the ground attacks.
-- [ Jaguar Revolver ] --
A series of Jaguar Teeth attacks, won't hit a close crouching opponent
however.
=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Akuma ] ---------------------------------

Shun Goku Satsu - JP,JP,F,SK,FP[level 3 only](A-ISM and X-ISM)
/F,B+a+b
- [ Gou Hadouken ] -
The fireball that rivals Ryu's. Going at good speed it burns the opponent
with purple flames but like all Shatoken's it has a recovery delay and
opponents can easily jump over it, so use it on opponents who are far away
or use it in an effective two-in-one combo.
- [ Gou Shoryuken ] -
Basically identical to Ken's because it hits multiple times and chips pretty
well. But Akuma is open to attack after he lands. This is also an excellent
anti-air attack which can deliver good damage and can keep opponents away.
- [ Zankuu Hadouken ] -
Just the air version of his fireball except it comes down a forty-five
degree angle and Akuma should use it often even when he comes in for an
attack because this can stop alot of anti-air attacks.
- [ Tatsumaki Zankuu Kyaku ] -
Much like a hurricane kick except it hits multiple times. It's also
comboable and juggle friendly.
- [ Zenpou Tenshin ] -
The useles fireball from Street Fighter Alpha 2. It has huge start-up delay
as it is easily seen but it hits three times and the damage is just little
more than his regular fireball. Also a single fireball can nullify this
projectile making it useless as keep away. But you can use it on opponents
who have just gotten up so you can at least chip away a good amount of life.
- [ Tenma Kuujin Kyaku ] -
I find this move hard to do sometimes because it only works while Akuma is
jumping foward. Basically Akuma will come down with his Roundhouse kick at a
sixty degree angle and come down really fast at the opponent. This is
basically a surprise attack and nothing else.
- [ Zugai Hasatsu ] -
Basically the anti-turtle move as you call it, because it is unblockable low
but has a start up delay so use it on opponents woh just block low all day
and use it on opponents when they have just gotten up from a knockdown.
- [ Senpuu Kyaku ] -
This is another one of this overhead counters. It comes out a bit slow so
it's usually easy to read. He'll hop over most low attacks when he does
this, making it a great, but tricky, counter to use against sweeping
opponents.
- [ Ashura Senkuu ] -
Basically his teleport, he can move through anything with this as he is
totally invincible but he does have a recovery delay from this and will get
countered if you are not careful when using this.
- [ Hyakki Gou Shou ] -
Well this move is rather useless because you have to be close to your
opponent to actually connect. After Akuma flips into the air press P right
before you hit your opponent and he will sorta grunt while he hits the
opponent with his fist. I wouldn't use this much at all.
- [ Hyakki Gou Sai ] -
This is an excellent anti-air attack because it comes out quick and does
some serious damage. What Akuma will do is jump up into the air and if the
opponent is in the air with him he will grab his opponent and then slam him
down. This has good priority and comes out quite quick, but the recovery
time is horrible so don't pull this out of nowhere.
- [ Hyakki Gou Sen ] -
Well what Akuma will do is flip into the air and perform a full collision
body drop right on top of his opponent's head dealing good damage. However
this will not hit in the air, but as it comes down it has good priority as
well. But if Akuma misses he will be left open for an attack.
- [ Hyakki Gou Tsui ] -
Basically the same as Akuma's Hyakki Gou Sai, it will grab the opponent out
of the air and slam the opponent down doing good damage and having good
priority. But if Akuma misses he will be left open to attack.
- [ (Ground Roll) ] -
Well not much for this move though. You can roll through opponents with this
move which is good for crossing up opponents but the roll is rather slow and
doesn't really have much distance. This has no offensive purpose whatsoever
and Akuma can be knocked down from it.
-- [ Messatsu Gou Shoryuu ] --
Just like Ken's its invincible during start-up and will beat out anything.
After the first Dragon Punch he is vulnerable to certain attacks, but this
is easily comboed.
-- [ Messatsu Gou Hado ] --
While the motion is a little hard to pull off, the damage result isn't too
disappointing. While it is comboable, there is significant start up delay
to give most human opponents a clue on when to jump or when to block.
-- [ Tenma Gou Zankuu ] --
This isn't really too effective since it's easily avoided. It does well
as block damage, but my best advice as to when to use it is when your
opponent is in the air, so you'll have to time your jump and execute the
attack quickly as this attack cannot be blocked in the air.
-- [ Shun Goku Satsu ] --
This is only useful when you've gotten your opponent dizzy or when your
opponent is about to get up from being grounded. Using this move is a bit
gutsy due to the fact that it travels slow and cannot be comboed. It moves
about half a screen's distance and while it is unblockable, your opponent
can easily knock you out of it. I would really try to avoid using it unless
you're into it for flash since it'll use up your entire meter.
=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Balrog ] --------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Balrog ] - Savage boxer who knows no rules.
Dashing Straight - B(charge 2 sec.)F+P
Dashing Uppercut - B(charge 2 sec.)F+K
Dashing Ground Straight - B(charge 2 sec.)DF+P(A-ISM and V-ISM)
Dashing Ground Uppercut - B(charge 2 sec.)DF+K(A-ISM and V-ISM)
Turn Punch - 3P or 3K(charge 2 sec.)
Final Punch - 3P or 3K(charge 3+ sec.)
Buffalo Head - D(charge 2 sec.)U+K(Counter Hit only)
Crazy Buffalo - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)P(A-ISM and X-ISM)/
D,DF,F+a+b
Gigaton Blow - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+3K(A-ISM)(Level 3)/
D,DB,B+a+b
- [ Dashing Straight ] -
This is a quick horizontal attack with high priority against most attacks.
You can also combo in this move, but watch for recovery delay.
- [ Dashing Uppercut ] -
Another excellent move that Balrog has because this is a very nice anti-air
attack and what Balrog will do is dash extremely fast with an uppercut that
will easily knock opponents out of the air. This is also an excellent
counter for missed Dragon Punches alike and missed supers and will trade
hits with fireballers most of the time but you must be close to your
opponent just like his Dashing Punch. If Balrog misses he will be left open
to attack.
- [ Dashing Ground Straight ] -
An excellent attack because this is only blockable low. Its comes out just
as quick and deals alot of damage and is an excellent counter for missed
supers and Dragon Punches alike. Also the range on this move is shorter than
his regular Dashing Punch. But if he misses he can be countered by low
attacks or supers.
- [ Dashing Ground Uppercut ] -
A good counter against missed supers and Dragon Punches alike. It deals good
damage and is highly comboable. But this move will not hit low even if the
opponent is blocking high and the range is less than his regular Dashing
Uppercut. This will also trade hits against fireball users but only if you
are up close otherwise you will just eat a fireball during the middle of
your dash towards your opponent and if he misses he will be left open to
attack.
- [ Turn Punch ] -
What this move does is have Balrog charge a bit and then release a powerful
punch to the opponent. However, it cannot be comboed and is often easily
blocked. It will go through projectiles however and does quite a bit of
damage to the guard meter. Depending on which set of attacks you hold, you
can attack regularly using the attacks that are not charging.
- [ Final Punch ] -
Much like the Turn Punch except you can charge for up to 60 seconds and
knock off as much as half of your opponent's life bar away. However, this
will not go through projectiles...and to charge for this move, you must
charge at least 3 seconds...anything under that will result in a Turn
Punch instead.
- [ Buffalo Head ] -
This is a pretty good anti-air attack that's easily comboable and comes
out very fast. The recovery time is minimal and will go through some
projectiles.
-- [ Crazy Buffalo ] --
What Balrog will do is do a Dashing Punch into a Dashing Uppercut that does
alot of damage and depending on the level used in A-ISM mode Balrog will do
multiple Dashing Punches and Dashing Uppercuts, but if Balrog misses he will
be left open to attack.
-- [ Gigaton Blow ] --
A very strong attack that deals a good amount of damage. This is an
excellent counter for missed supers and Dragon Punches alike and has pretty
good priority. This move chips a ton and can seriously damage that Guard
Meter due to the fact that he rushes at you with his fist that hits multiple
times, but if Balrog misses he is left open to attack.
=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Birdie ] --------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Birdie ] - Tough guy with hidden intelligence
Bull Head - B(charge 2 sec.) F+P
Choke Chain - 360 Degree Motion+P(up close)
Bandit Chain - 360 Degre Motion+K(up close)
Bull Horn - 2P or 2K(then hold and release)
Bull Drop - F+RK
Body Crash - D+FP(air)
The Birdie - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)P(A-ISM and X-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b or
D,DB,B+a+b
Bull Revenger - D,DF,F [x2] +(?)P or K(A-ISM)/B,F+a+b
- [ Bull Head ] -
A good surpise move that has alot of range and good priority. This also
comboes nicely but if Birdie misses he will be attacked. This is also a good
counter against missed supers or Draon Punches alike.
- [ Choke Chain ] -
This move does equal damage to Zangief's Spinning Pile Driver and has good
range for a grab move. This is excellent for people who have missed a super
or Dragon Punch if they are right next to you but try not to do this from a
distance because if Birdie misses he will go into his miss pose and will be
left open for an attack.
- [ Bandit Chain ] -
Birdie will grab his opponent and slam his opponent down three times doing
good damage and it will throw the opponent to the opposite side of the
screen. This is not as strong as his Choke Chain but its funnier to watch.
But like his Choke Chain if he misses he will go into his miss pose and will
be left open for an attack.
- [ Bull Horn ] -
This is similar to Balrog's Final Punch because he can charge infinitely and
the more he charges the more damage he does and charging it for about 60
seconds results in 70% of your opponent's lifebar gone. The only problem is
is that its hard to connect when you want it to connect because it has a
start up delay but this will do alot of block damage for a single hit and
can easily knock away that Guard Meter. Also Ed has some very valuable info
on this move as well:
"Also, with Birdie's Bull Horn, you only have to charge 2P or 2K. Because of
this, you can charge more than one at once as long as you always hold down
at least one punch or kick. For example, if you hold all three punches you
can release JP to do one Bull Horn, then while still holding SP, you can
release FP to do a second. This can allow you to do two high level Bull
Horns in a row. Besides all this, you can still attack with punches if
you're charging kick or vice versa."
- [ Body Crash ] -
This is an overall fair jump in attack because it comes out quick but the
priority of this move is not all that great. Practically almost any anti-air
attack can counter it so becareful when you are using it.
- [ Bull Drop ] -
This is Birdie's overhead counter, it comes out a bit quicker than most
normal overhead counters, but it can't be comboed.
-- [ The Birdie ] --
A good super that has tremendous range and it comes out quite fast as well.
This is a good chipper and can counter missed supers and Dragon Punches
alike. This will also juggle the opponent while they are in the air so all
the hits will connect even if they are in the air, also if Birdie misses he
will be left open for an attack. NOTE: On a level 3 after 3 hits Birdie will
dizzy the opponent, you cannot escape the dizzy, then he will follow up with
another two Bullhorn after he taunts.
-- [ Bull Revenger ] --
Well this is not a good super to use at all because of the fact that its
hard to connect and you can also control the distance by moving the
controller back or forward. If Birdie connects on level 1 it will look
exactly the same as his regular Choke Chain and does the exact same amount
of damage so unless you plan to use this make sure its a level 2. What
Birdie will do is jump in the air and attempt to grab his opponent in his
chain when he lands, while Birdie is jumping he is highly vulnerable to
attacks because he cannot grab the opponent out of the air and a simple
anti-air attack will knock Birdie out of this super, in my opinion a
practically worthless super.
=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Blanka ] --------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Blanka ] - Creature of the Amazon, imbued with the power of electricity
Rolling Attack - B(charge 2 sec.)F+P
Vertical Rolling - D(charge 2 sec.)U+K
Backstep Leap - B(charge 2 sec.)F+K
Electric Thunder - P(rapidly)
Amazon River Run - DF+FP
Surprise For./Bac - F+3K or B+3K/RK+JP or B+RK+JP
Ground Shave Rolling - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)P(A-ISM and X-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b
Tropical Hazard - DB(charge 2 sec.)F,B,UF+(?)K(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
- [ Rolling Attack ] -
An excellent surprise attack that does good damage and has tremendous range.
The only problem is is that he is vulnerable to fireballs, Dragon Punches,
and other torpedo attacks like Bison's Psycho Crusher and E.Honda's Sumo
Headbutt and knock Blanka out of it easily. If Blanka misses the opponent
has a considerably ample amount of time to attack because he bounces off the
opponent and into the air falling down unable to block. The Jab version goes
extremely slow but can be used to psych out the opponent and Blanka can even
land not hitting the opponent and immediately go into a throw.
- [ Vertical Rolling ] -
Basically the same as his Beast Roll but this can be used as an anti-air
attack and it also has alot of priority as it can knock people out of the
air even if they come down with a special move. Like his Beast Roll if he
misses the opponent will have all the time in the world just to attack him.
This can also hit opponents that are on the ground as well.
- [ Backstep Leap ] -
This move will have Blanka flip back and arch at the opponent with a
Rolling attack. However, this move comes out too slow to ever be fully
effective and leaves him very vulnerable to counter attacks if he misses.
It was meant to sail through projectiles but it travels too slow to even
catch the opponent before the block in time and the timing of this move
is extremely tricky, having rare occurances of you even going over the
projectile.
- [ Electric Thunder ] -
A fairly decent anti-air attack. Blanka will run all his electric currents
through him as he becomes a giant block of electricity shocking all incoming
opponents that touch him. The only problem is is that he can be swept out of
hit but only if the opponent is a certain distance away and he is also
vulnerable to fireballs. But he practically has no recovery time from doing
this move.
- [ Amazon River Run ] -
What Blanka will do is glide with his fist and actually duck under most
fireballs. Try to use this move within sweeping distance of the opponent,
most likely you'll knock the opponent down before they even have a chance
to recover, however only Dee Jay will be able to defend in time.
- [ Surprise Forward/Backward ] -
What Blanka will do is dash back or forward travelling only about 1/3
screen's distance. Blanka cannot attack while he dashes though but it can be
used to psych out the opponent sometimes I guess. This will go through
opponents, making it a good set up for combos.
-- [ Ground Shave Rolling ] --
A good move that does good damage and it can also be used as an anti-air
attack. Depending on how many buttons you use Blanka will either let out
multiple hitting Beast and Vertical Rolls. If Blanka misses, he'll be left
vulnerable to attack due to a rather lengthy recovery.
-- [ Tropical Hazard ] --
This move comes out very slow but can chip a good deal of damage. What
Blanka will do is hop to a corner and drop a ton of fruit ot the floor and
ramming the buttons makes him drop more fruit and afterwards you are
wlecomed to knock around the fruit that is left. This super does good damage
but really can't connect often because of its slow speed.

- [ Spiral Arrow ] -
Well this is an excellent surprise attack because it has some speed and
range and is also excellent for countering missed supers or Dragon Punches.
This can do quite a bit of damage but if the opponent blocks this your in
for some heat because just like it was in Super Street Fighter 2 you can be
tripped afterwards or be eating a super. The Roundhouse version will hit
twice if up close though.
- [ Cannon Spike ] -
An excellent anti-air attack move because it comes out quick and does good
damage. Always use the short version unless the opponent is far away because
this has extreme range potiential. Her Short Version will basically leave
her safe because even if the opponent blocks this she will be pushed away
and land safe enough to block afterwards. But if she comepletely misses she
will fall unable to block.
- [ Spin Kunckle ] -
Well I love how Capcom has left this move alone since Super Street Fighter
2. In Super Street Fighter 2 it was an excellent counter against up close
fireballers, and this move can pass through projectiles. Also its really
good for is block damage. Despite the fact that this hits two times it can
really chip away at the lifebar and also if it connects its also really
powerful. She basically has no recovery time from doing this but she can be
swept when she is in the middle of this move.
- [ Cannon Strike ] -
Well you remember this move from XSF right? Well its an excellent jump-in
attack because it comes out so darn quick and its extremely hard to knock
her out of it because it just has alot of priority. But if blocked she will
be opened to attack so try not to be so predictable.
- [ Cannon Revenge ] -
Well this is also her anti-air attack but doesn't seem to connect too often
against low attacks. I would stick with the Cannon Spike instead because it
has more range. But what Cammy will do is flash a little and if the opponent
attacks Cammy during this move she will counter attack with a Cannon Spike
and also this does not apply to jumping opponents, just remember this move
from XSF.
- [ Hooligan Combination ] -
This has got to be one of the most confusing(and useful) tactics in the
game. What Cammy will do is roll herself into a ball and spin at your
opponent, when she lands she will do a slide kick that will immediately
knock down an opponent. She can't hit in the air with this and this move
cannot be comboed. Also the opponent has loads of time to attack her and its
also a dead giveaway when she rolls into a ball. What you can do is go into
her patented Frakensteiner by pressing F or B+2K and she will immediately
slam the opponent. You can cancel this out by pressing a kick button anytime
you want as well.
-- [ Spin Drive Smasher ] --
One of the more effective supers in the game, this super represents the
Shoryuu Reppa somewhat. This is as easily comboed as Ken's Shinryuken or
Shoyuu Reppa, it chains off practically all of her noraml attacks and is
also a good counter against missed supers or Dragon Punches. Basically its a
Cannon Drill into the Cannon Spike so if she misses she will fall unable to
block.
-- [ Reverse Shaft Breaker ] --
This has got to be one of the coolest and best looking supers in the game.
This can be used as anti-air attack and it also does alot of damage. Ramming
the buttons results in more hits and significantly more damage, the trick is
to hesistate for a second after the move starts and then ram the buttons.
But you should wait until the opponent is close to you when they are jumping
in so you can get more hits out of it. This doesn't have the vortex effect
like Ken's Shinryuken so its horizontal range is pretty poor.
-- [ Killer Bee Assault ] --
Boy I cannot believe they have a crossover super in here! This super comes
out almost three times faster than it did in the crossover series and but it
hits only five times but it still ends in her patented Frankensteiner. Your
opponent will have a hard time predicting when this super will come out
because it comes out so fast almost like Shin Bison's X-ISM Psycho Crusher
that counters anything.

Crossfire Blitz - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)K(A-ISM)/B,F+a+b
- [ Sonic Boom ] -
This move should be used often, because this projectile comes out fast and
has almost no recovery delay! Charlie can immediately block after throwing
this so there is no need to worry.
- [ Somersault Kick ] -
This move is one of Charlie's prime weapons but leaves him open to
a Roundhouse trip or a super. This is also one of the best anti-air attacks
in the game since it does alot of damage. If you catch the opponent in the
air, it'll juggle them and depending on how low you catch them in the air
will determine if they take the entire super or part of it.
- [ (Thrust Kick) ] -
Well this is the best thing to use after you have thrown your Sonic Boom
cause this comes out very quickly with a small lack of start-up delay. This
also has good priority so it can beat out alot of moves. But the problem
with this move is that the range has been drastically shorten since Alpha 2.
Also note that while it may look like the normal standing roundhouse, it
isn't. It moves a bit as you hold the direction and Charlie doesn't make
the grunt, in the GBA version at least.
- [ (Leap Kick) ] -
Charlie's anti-crouch counter. It comes out quicker than most anti-crouch
counters and has little recovery delay.
- [ Knee Bazooka ] -
This knee bazooka is a somewhat of a weak attack, but if canceled quickly
enough after his Sonic Boom, it will connect for a combo. The range is
pretty good and while Charlie does hop to do the knee, he can be tripped
in sequence of the duration of the move.
- [ (Dash) ] -
Well this move is new to Charlie in the Alpha series. It pretty much a basic
dash and Charlie can follow up with a quick attack during his dash by
pressing any of the attack buttons. Use the dash to give all your regular
attacks a dashing attribute.
- [ Backfist ] -
The backfist is quick attack that can be followed after a Sonic Boom, though
comboing it in is rather tricky since the Sonic Boom's small delay still
puts Charlie in a position to use the Knee Bazooka instead, though the
Backfist does more damage and requires you to be a little farther away from
the opponent than the Knee Bazooka if you wish to combo it in.
-- [ Sonic Break: B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)P then P(A-ISM)
Well I wouldn't use this too much because it because tend to block it too
often. It comes out fast but alot of people sometimes forget to hit the
extra punch button to throw out another Sonic Boom. But Charlie can follow
up with some other attacks though, like a forward roundhouse or a backfist.
-- [ Somersault Justice ] --
This hits multiple times doing good damage but is also an excellent chipper
but should be used sparingly unless you are positive it will connect.
Although it comes out quite fast I myself sometimes have trouble doing this
motion. Charlie does have recovery time from this as he can be tripped on
the way down.
-- [ Crossfire Blitz ] --
An excellent surprise move and also good for missed supers as well. Charlie
has basically no recovery time coming from this so feel free to use this
because its an excellent chipper as well and is invincible during start-up.

Hazan Tenshou Kyaku - DB(charge 2 sec.)F,B,UF+(?)K(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
- [ Kikouken ] -
Well her projectile is pretty good but far from being the best. Her fireball
has a bit of a start-up delay and is barely comboable. It does good damage
in its own rights. But like all other fireballs she has a recovery time from
this and opponents can easily jump over this.
- [ So Hakkei ] -
Well there is one disadvantage to this move and that is that it is not a
projectile! Although it might have Chun-Li go into her fireball stun motion
it can still hit the opponent, but it lacks alot of range but it can be
comboed and does good damage but I don't think it can trade hits with
projectiles though, but the recovery time is pretty good making it hard for
opponents to counter.
- [ Spinning Bird Kick ] -
Well this move is almost identical to Ryu's Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku but
except she spins upside down with her legs spinning around. This can hit up
to multiple times doing good damage, but opponents can easily duck under
this move. Well I wish the move was the charge down motion instead because
she had the ability to control whether it was low Spinning Bird Kick or a
High Spinning Bird Kick. She can do this in the air but she must bounce off
a wall to do it because she won't have enough time to charge for the move
unless she bounces off the wall.
- [ Tenshokyaku ] -
This is Chun-Li's anti air attack but it really isn't that strong and she
will curve at a 60 degree angle but this will catch opponents basically 99%
of the time. What Chun-Li will do is rise into the air kicking her opponent
three times(depending on which kick button used). If she misses she is open
to attacks and supers but she can pick opponents off the ground with this.
- [ Senenshu ] -
Well this is her anti-crouch attack but this is her strongest special move,
this move is similar to Adon's Jaguar Teeth because her Short version will
go into a high arc while the Roundhouse version is used to attack crouchers
from long distances(or was it the other way around?). She basically has no
recovery time from this so feel free to use it.
- [ Hyakuretsukyaku ] -
This is mainly the bulk of her offense, but she needs multiple hits to
really rack up the damage because a single hit is rather weak. But this can
really chip away at the life bar and can attack the guard Meter quickly. She
has basically no recovery time from this but the range is serverely limited
as she cannot move while in the middle of this move.
- [ Yosou Kyaku ] -
This is basically the stomp kick from the older games. It hits only once
(I had it hit twice on Sagat before) and doesn't knock down an opponent.
It does have decent priority and will beat out most regular anti-air
attacks. I had up to three hits in the air against Sagat with this move.
It generally hits twice while you and the opponent are in the air. If
she misses once and the opponent blocks she'll just bounce off them,
prompting you to land or to do another Yosou Kyaku.
- [ Kaku Kyaku Raku ] -
Well this is also her anti-crouch counter but it moves really slow but
sometimes it confuses your opponent because she flips around and someimes
the opponent will block the wrong way. This move does good damage but
becomes extremely predictable after just a few uses so watch out.
- [ Kohou Haiten Kyaku ] -
This is is basically a flip kick that does two hits up close. It looks like
a suitable anti-air attack but it has relatively low priority, though it
can be comboed if timed right.
-- [ Kikoushou ] --
This move will have Chun-Li encase a idle fireball around her palms. It
does good damage and is almost guaranteed to catch a jumping opponent.
However, the range is lacking and the move is barely comboable, I would
mainly use this to catch up close opponents who try to throw projectiles
since the Kikoushou will absorb projectiles.
-- [ Senretsu Kyaku ] --
This move is strictly horizontal, so any air opponents will be able to
easily knock her out of the super. However, it does come out very fast
and is comboable off anything that she has. It does good damage and good
block damage with decent range. The initial frames of animation will go
through projectiles...even most projectile supers.
-- [ Hazan Tenshou Kyaku ] --
While the Kikoushou is a good counter measure against airborne attacks,
it isn't her best. The Hazan Tenshou Kyaku has complete priority over
ANY airborne attacks...including the Killer Bee Assualt. The initial
frames of animation will go through projectiles, not to mention the fact
that the move can be comboed in. However, the horizontal range is
extremely limited to just a short distance in front of her and if he
misses, she'll be vulnerable to counter attacks.

Final Destruction - D,DF,F,D,DF,F+(?)P(A-ISM and X-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
- [ Criminal Upper ] -
What Cody will do is do an uppercut that sends a miniture tornado spinning
just in front of him. This tornado is as big as he is but is a very poor
anti-air attack. But this is easily comboed and the recovery time is next to
zero. Really try to avoid using this to counter air attacks, it's priority
isn't too high and Cody takes a while to recover from it.
- [ Bad Stone ] -
Well this is on the borderline of being a true projectile. What Cody will do
is pick up a rock and throw it at the opponent in an upwards arc. This is a
pretty good anti-air attack since it travels in a pretty high arc and this
is also not good for countering projectiles because you simply cannot win
because of the bit of start-up delay. This does do good damage and will
connect most of the times against opponents who are far from you.
- [ Ruffian Kick ] -
Well using either button makes Cody do a foot sweep, head height kick, or a
mid side kick. The best version has got to be the Short version since his
foot slide can counter practically anything because it comes out so fast and
its also comboable. Although the range is pretty fair it can trade hits with
most projectiles and fireball supers as well. Although the Roundhouse
version might look like an anti-air attack, its basically a worthless move
against air attacks and lacks alot of range, which is unusual for Cody.
- [ Bad Spray ] -
Well like Sodom's Tengu Walking, this is a counter when Cody has been swept
by a knockdown attack. Although the damage is very little this will knock
the opponent away from you, however, you cannot use this immediately after
you have gotten up like the Tengu Walking.
- [ Knife Pickup ] -
Well this is far from being a true projectile because what Cody will do is
pick up the knife after looking at it for a while and then hold it in his
hand. All of Cody's punches will change giving him a bit more range and more
attack power, but he drops the knife after taunting or after the Final
Destruction. You can throw the knife by performing the Hadouken motion
(D,DF,F+P) once you've picked it up, though it starts up pretty slow and is
easy to avoid and does half-decent damage.
- [ Crack Kick ] -
Sorta like Ryu's Hop Kick, Cody will hop a little over most crouching
attacks and smack the opponent. Cody can go into a combo afterwards, because
he basically has no recovery time making this both a safe and an effective
move to use against opponents.
- [ Sakeru ] -
Well with this Cody can dodge alot of attacks, and most supers thus allowing
him to escape chip damage and Guard Meter damage, a highly useful move and
its so easy to do except he can't dodge low ground attacks like crouching
kicks or punches.
-- [ Dead End Irony ] --
You should probably treat this super like the Crossfire Blitz. The move
is strictly horizontal but has good range and is very comboable. The
priority is decent and the roundhouse version will have Cody go up in the
air after a few kicks. At the end of the super you can juggle the opponent
with his (hop kick).
-- [ Final Destruction ] --
Although the first couple hits of the super are melodramatic, the super
itself does plenty of damage to satisfy the player. It's a semi-quick
super that has Cody rush towards the opponent and when he connects, he
begins an auto combo that can hit as much as 18 times. The range is pretty
much like the Shun Goku Satsu but moves a little quicker than it, but
unless you're trying to combo in the super...stick with the Dead End Irony.

Chouhatsu Shinwa - D,DB,B,D,DB,B+Select then any button(A-ISM)(level 3)
- [ Gadouken ] -
Don't even bother using this. It has no range and unlike in MSHSF this is
not one of the strongest projectiles. I would sorta call this Dan's S.Fierce
with good range, but extremely poor range if you want to use it in a
projectile.
- [ Kouryuken ] -
The Kouryuken is a very powerful anti-air attack, but it lacks a lot of
horizontal range unlike his Shadtoken counterparts. It'll combo easily up
close and has a lot of priority. If Dan flashes during the duration of
this sequence, he is completely invincible from any attack.
- [ Dankuu Kyaku ] -
Short-A short Knee Hop
Foward-A short Knee Hop with an extra kick
Roundhouse-A short Knee Hop with two extra kicks
Basically the same Gale Kick he had since his last Alpha encounter. An
excellent move to counter miss supers and Dragon Punches. This is also a
powerful 3 hit combo(Roundhouse version) that can drain your opponent's
lifebar very fast. This is also an excellent chipper but sometimes Dan will
land on the other side of the opponent, so try to keep note of that to
prevent yourself from being crossed-over.
- [ Kuuchuu Dankukyaku ] -
Basically the same as his Dankukyaku except he can finally do a special
attack in the air. This move can also be used as an excellent air escape
tactic because Dan floats so high while doing this move and he also has some
significant hang time while doint this move as well, but as he comes down he
can be attacked. This is an all around good attack to jump in with if you
use the Short version since Dan comes down very quickly and has decent
priority.
- [ Saikyo Defense or Saikyoryuu Bougyu ] -
Well this isn't exactly Push Blocking like in the crossover series, but it
does push the opponent back. You should use this immediately once your being
attacked, unless you want to fight up close.
- [ Chouhatsu ] -
A taunt...basically. It'll hit if you are in X-ISM, but you must be a
jab's distance away for it to hit.
- [ Zenten Chouhatsu ] -
A rolling taunt. Timing on this is tricky, in X-ISM you can use this to
hit if you land a jab's distance away.
- [ Kouten Chohatsu ] -
A backwards rolling taunt. This will hit in X-ISM, but the timing is tricky.
You must land about a jab's distance away for this to connect, doing this
close will warrant just a taunt.
- [ Shagami Chouhatsu ] -
You can attack with this in X-ISM. It's basically a crouching taunt.
- [ Tobi Chouhatsu ] -
An air taunt.
-- [ Shinkuu Gadouken ] --
Well even though his Gadouken has no range whatsoever, on a level 3 this
super can go up to 3/4 screens distance. Depending on which level you use
will determine the range of this super(as well as strength). It does do alot
of damage though, even more than other projectile supers. This can be a good
ample chipper as well, so use it just before your opponent gets up.
-- [ Kouryuu Rekka ] --
If you want to use this super, use it when your at level 3. Level 1 has
basically no range just like in MSHSF. Level 3 is just a brilliant super as
it will easily chain off his C.Short. Level 3 can deal a ton of damage and
it has pretty good range, but as usual...if he misses, he'll be a target
for counter attacks.
-- [ Hisshou Biraiken ] --
This is an automated super that does not require Dan to make contact with
the opponent. However, it does do a lot of damage and block damage and is
very comboable. The major problem with this super is that if Dan doesn't
connect, he will continue the animation for the super until the end, giving
the opponent as much as 4 seconds to attack. The range is really limited,
both vertical and horizontal.
-- [ Chouhatsu Densetsu ] --
I would definitely advise against using this super. It has Dan taunting for
seconds and leaves him open to attack. At times opponents can build their
own meter as Dan does his taunts. Only for show.
-- [ Chouhatsu Shinwa ] --
His taunt is much longer than his other one and this will cost you all of
your super meter. Each button you press will have Dan perform a different
vocal taunt. I would really try to avoid using this, it's strictly for
embarrassment or stupidity.

- [ Knee Shot ] -
This is a decent basically. It has decent priority and does moderate
damage. You can combo off it if you can land right on the opponent's
midsection with this move.
- [ Air Slasher ] -
An excellent projectile that has less recovery time than any other
projectile that I have seen in this game. Even Charlie and Guile has
recovery time from their projecetiles, but Dee Jay's just rocks. He can
either immediately block or follow up with a combo and can even go into his
Carnival Hook Kick. This is an excellent projectile to use all around
because it does good damage and travels quite fast.
- [ Double Rolling Sobat ] -
This move will have Dee Jay perform one or two kicks, however, often at
times the 2nd hit has trouble connecting after the first hit is scored.
I would mainly use this in combos since the start up delay and priority
is very minute.
- [ Machine Gun Uppercut ] -
This can be used as an air counter but it hits the opponent for really weak
damage making it a not so impressive anti-air attack. What Dee Jay will do
is do rapid upercuts real fast back and forth. If you have a Turbo Button
Controller you can get up to 4 hits dealing decent damage, but you must
be up close for the opponent to feel the effect. However this has alot of
priority up close and will cancel out other moves, in the sequence of the
initial frames of animation Dee Jay is invincible.
- [ Maximum Jackknife ] -
What Dee Jay will do is jump up at a 60 degree angle with a kick that can
hit up to multiple times dealing good damage and is also an excellent air
counter for opponents who like to jump in alot and this move is very similar
to Chun-Li's incase your wondering what it looks like. You can also juggle
the opponent with this. However if Dee Jay misses he will be left open to
attack.
-- [ Sobat Carnival ] --
This is an all around excellent super because of its ability to combo and
short the recovery time that it has. Also it is excellent for missed supers
and Dragon Punches alike and it can also be used to chip away alot of life
and take down a little bit of the Guard Meter. Basically what Dee Jay will
do is multiple Double Dread Kicks in a row causing good damage and having
good priority.
-- [ Climax Beat ] --
Well this is the super version of his Hyper Fist and it is also his
strongest super because it produces alot of hits depending if you have a
Turbo Button Controller. This will also chip alot of life and can easily
take down that Guard Meter. The recovery time on this super is practically
non-existant making it a safe move to use when up close otherwise don't use
it from a far distance, and also it combos practically all of Dee Jay's
standing and crouching attacks.
-- [ Sunrise Theme ] --
This is an excellent move to use in combos, juggles, and as an anti-air
attack for those opponents who tend to jump in way too often. This will hit
multiple times doing good damage and I do believe it is unblockable in the
air as well. But like most anti-air attacks if he misses he will be left
open for an attack or be eating a super.

- [ Yoga Fire ] -
His basic projectile move. It does good damage but travels slower than most
projectiles. Like all projectiles, it should be used when far away from the
opponent and should be avoided when near the opponent. You should use it
when they get up so that they can take some block damage.
- [ Yoga Flame ] -
I'm not really sure why this was in the game, but it does do more damage
than his Yoga Fire and is a bigger than his Yoga Fire but has very poor
horizontal range making it useless for keep away. Try to avoid this move.
- [ Yoga Flame ] -
Basically the same move except its a different motion to do in X-ISM mode
and it also does more damage and chipping damage as well.
- [ Yoga Blast ] -
This is his anti-air attack that deals quite a bit of damage. But if blocked
opponents can tend to come in for an attack. Do not use this when your near
your opponent because it'll most likely miss him or her. This also lacks
alot of horizontal range as well.
- [ Yoga Blast ] -
Again basically the same move except this is the motion in X-ISM mode and it
does more damage and chipping damage as well.
- [ Yoga Spear ] -
Short-twenty degree angle, has alot of horizontal range
Forward-forty degree angle, has moderate horizontal range
Roundhouse-eighty degree angle, extremely poor horizontal range, but good
surprise attack
Baiscally his attack that is used air borne and has good priority as it will
cancel out alot of normal attacks use against him.
- [ Drill Zutsuki ] -
The same as his Short Yoga Spear except that it has more horizontal range
and it moves quicker.
- [ Yoga Teleport ] -
He can also use this in the air as it will leave him safe to block because
this has almost no recovery delay. Depending on which motion and which set
of buttons you press, you will land either far away and behind your
opponent, close and behind your opponent, far away in front of your
opponent, or close and in front of your opponent. You should teleport right
behind your opponent after you have thrown your Yoga Fire and immediately
throw him or her as they are still in their block stance.
- [ (Yoga Warp) ] -
Just like Sodom's Jitte Counter. After you have been knocked down you can
safely avoid being pressured by an opponent by teleporting out of the way.
- [ Drill Kick ] -
Well Dhalsim only has one Yoga Spear in this version but it has a fourty-
five degree arc this time. Good for a jump-in attack.
-- [ Yoga Inferno ] --
This super really lacks some range, but it can deal out multiple hits doing
good damage and block damage. This thing will sorta drag the opponent into
it forcing them to take block damage. This super has sorta of a vortex
effect that brings the opponent in giving it a little more range. When your
opponent is low on energy you should use this and just chip him or her to
death. On level three this thing seems to take forever because it deals out
so much hits!
-- [ Yoga Strike ] --
Ouch! Even on Level 1 this thing hurts! This is obviously his strongest
super but the opponent must be in the air for this to work even if the
opponent is right next to Dhalsim he will miss. But this is an incredibly
effective anti-air attack, but on level 3 this thing deals out a ton of
damage as he slams the opponent down three times! But opponents can still
hit Dhalsim out of it even though they are in the air but they often miss
because this thing comes out so fast. I don't think this can be tech hit out
of like in the crossover series because I tried and to no avail.
-- [ Yoga Stream ] --
This attack is only blockable low. Dhalsim will breathe fire on his
opponent's feet. This is an excellent surprise move and you should use it
just when the opponent gets up because they will most likely block low.
-- [ Yoga Tempest ] --
Well like it was from the original Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, its almost
identical to his Yoga Inferno but this does a ton of damage and can chip
pretty nicely but it looks more like a super version of his Yoga Flame
attack.

--------------------------------- [ Eagle ] ---------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Eagle ] - The English street brawler with a flair to his style
Manchester Black - D,DB,B+P
Canterbury Blue Low - D,DF,F+FP(hold P to delay)
Canterbury Blue Mid - D,DF,F+SP(hold P to delay)
Canterbury Blue High - D,DF,F+JP(hold P to delay)
Oxford Red - B,DB,D,DF,F+K
Liverpool White - D,DB,B+K
St. Andrews Green - F,D,DF+P
Manchester Gold - D,DB,Bx2+(?)P/D,DF,F+a+b(A-ISM, X-ISM)
Union Jack Platinum - D,DF,Fx2+(?)P/D,DB,B+a+b(A-ISM)
- [ Manchester Black ] -
Similar to Zangief's spinning lariat, this has Eagle spinning around,
making it a great horizontal counter and is a great combo finisher. It'll
juggle the opponent into the air, but the recovery time doesn't allow Eagle
to combo afterwards.
- [ Canterbury Blue Low ] -
This move allows Eagle to counter attack the opponent, it's actually quite
effective. You can also delay the move if you hold down the punch button
afterwards. This is good for those sweeping attacks. What's nice about
this is that it blocks supers and projectiles, making it the ideal move
to use, but it only blocks until he cannot delay any longer(usually the
delay lasts from 1-2 secs).
- [ Canterbury Blue Mid ] -
Much like CBLow, this counters mid section targetted attacks. This will
block supers like the CBLow.
- [ Canterbury Blue High ] -
Similar to the other two CBs, this is an ideal anti-air attack.
- [ Oxford Red ] -
This flashy move does quite a few hits and it's also very comboable. It does
great block damage but its only setback is that it comes out slow and is
also slow to recover, usually the FK and RK versions anyways.
- [ Liverpool White ] -
This is a pretty useful move to have. It'll have Eagle jump over opponent's
projectiles and then just attack from above. It's not a great move to use
against those without projectiles since he is vulnerable to attacks
momentarily after landing. The stronger the kick used the farther it goes.
- [ St. Andrews Green ] -
It's actually a better anti-air attack than it looks. Even when you connect
with this on the ground the opponent will fly into the air, but the
recovery time doesn't allow any time to follow up with another attack.
-- [ Manchester Gold ] --
Similar to the Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku, it'll have Eagle create a
bit of a whirlwind and have him spin his sticks around multiple times. It
does great block damage and is an excellent air defender, but it hits only
a few times against airborne opponents. This will combo and it will even
hit crouching opponents. However you can't add any extra attacks to it at
the end, despite the opponent being thrown into the air, due to the
recovery time.
-- [ Union Jack Platinum ] --
This is another dashing super, but a bit flashier than most others. It
does a ton of block damage and a ton of hits, it's a great combo finisher
and has little recovery delay. This should definitely be his primary
super as it has tremendous horizontal range, and when timed right it can
knock airborne opponents out of the air.
=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ E.Honda ] --------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ E.Honda ] - His big body is dwarfed by a bigger spirit
Hiza Geri - F+FK

Fuji Drop - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)K(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
Orochi Crush - 720 Degree Motion+P(A-ISM)(level 3)/B,F+a+b
- [ Hundred Hand Slap ] -
A tremendous chipper and also does a ton of damage, but this is Alpha 3 and
its been towned down alot. This is still an adequete chipper and can deal
some pretty good damage. E.Honda can move a little bit while he is in this
but he is still left open to projectiles and a few jump-in attacks unless
Honda stops, he can block safely as he has almost no recovery time.
- [ Sumo Smash ] -
On its way up it goes through pojectiles but on its way down it will sit on
top of the opponent. This is an excellent move to use against constant
fireballers as it can deal some good damage. But E.Honda has a small
recovery delay afterwards and can be tripped when he comes down if your
opponent is quick enough.
- [ Sumo Headbutt ] -
An excellent all around attack because its very fast and does an excellent
amount of damage. Do not bother using the Jab version because it goes way
too slow to really fool the opponent. Also E.Honda has little to no recovery
time from doing this move, but he can be hit by Dragon Punches or
projectiles and opponents can hit him from above.
- [ Oicho Throw ] -
Although not as strong as Zangief's Spinning Pile Driver this does alot of
damage but the move must be done up close. This is really funny since
E.Honda smash the opponent onto the ground and squashes him/her! I haven't
found a way to combo this in yet nor do I think its possible, this is
unblockable and opponents who turtle often should watch out.
-- [ Oni Musou ] --
A super version of his Sumo Headbutt, it does a good deal of damage and is
also good for countering missed supers as well. This is a nice chipper as he
does two headbutts that hits multiple times. E.Honda is still vulnerable to
projectiles and high hits and Dragon Punches but E.Honda should be quick
enough to counter before the opponent has time to react.
-- [ Fuji Drop ] --
Basically the super version of his Sumo Smash. It does pretty good damage
but like the Sumo Smash the range is limited so use it on fireball happy
triggers and smash him/her. Also E.Honda is still vulnerable to getting
tripped or supered on the way down if he so happens to miss completely.
-- [ Orochi Crush ] --
This super is basically a grab super, much like the Final Atomic Buster.
Once caught, E.Honda will slam the opponent on the ground and basically
squash the opponent multiple times. It's a powerful super, but not as
powerful or effective as the Final Atomic Buster.

Ryuu Shin Yassai - D,DB,Bx2+(?)P(A-ISM)(fierce punch distance away)/
F,B+a+b
- [ Rekka Ken ] -
I simply loved this move in SSF2 because it did a ton of damage and it was
so easy to combo. This is also a nice confusion tactic because you can
control whether you do one, two, or three Rekka Kens! When you do three
Rekka Kens in a row opponents start to notice a patern then you can mess
them up by doing two Rekka Kens in a row then throw him/her! If Fei Long
manages to do all three Rekka Kens and he misses he will be left open for
attack because the last Rekka Ken he poses while shaking his fist.
- [ Shien Kyaku ] -
Boy this has got to be the coolest looking anti-air attack move in the game!
What Fei Long will do is knock the opponent to the ground on fire with his
burning foot that causes a great deal of damage. The Roundhouse version will
hit twice as well. But you should consider using the short version because
it almost has no recovery time(except when your opponent is blocking up
close) and Fei Long should be able to land and block safely.
- [ Rekkukyaku ] -
This attack is like his roundhouse animation except that it hits mulitple
times and does good block meter damage and guard meter damage. This combos
pretty well, but with the awkward motion involved it rarely does. the start
up delay is pretty minimal while the recovery time isn't really all that bad
making this a safe move to use.
- [ Engekishu ] -
What Fei Long will do is a hop kick that will hit twice. Although it has a
bit of a start up delay it can be comboed and will often psych out
opponents. Try using this in some combos because the kick is pretty strong
and will push opponents away even if they block.
- [ Chokka Rakushu ] -
Well this is Fei Long's anti crouch counter as hit barely has start up delay
and often connects. Its an awkward kick but yet its also advantageous as
well because this will hop over practically all low attacks and basically
has no recovery time from it.
-- [ Rekka ShinKen ] -
A very fast starting super that will beat out alot of moves because it has
high priority and can also be comboed after Fei Long's S.CLSE.Fierce. A nice
chipper to go along with as well. But if Fei Long misses he will definately
be eating a super if the opponent has a super to spare.
-- [ Shien Hiryuu Kyaku ] --
An all around excellent anti-air attack. This easily chains off Fei Long's
C.Short and is also his strongest super. You should use this whenever you
use Fei Long's C.Foward because it just chains so perfectly, but if he
misses he will fall unable to block so watch out.
-- [ Ryuu (Shin) Yassai ] --
This is Fei Long's auto super that does excellent damage as Fei Long sticks
out a fist and if it connects he will continue to pummel the opponent with
his fist on fire and end with a flaming kick. If you can connect at the peak
distance of this move(meaning you are as far back away as possible while
being able to connect), Fei Long will perform an auto 8 hit combo that does
significantly more damage than his default version. The range isn't too
good but the super can be comboed.
=============================================================================
---------------------------------- [ Gen ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Gen ] - Aged warrior, seeker of Akuma
* NOTE: You cannot switch styles in X-ISM, his attacks will be mixed
- So Style: 3P/JP+RK(GBA)(A-ISM and V-ISM) -
Hyakurenkou - Press P rapidly
Gekirou - F,D,DF+K then K
Zan'ei - D,DF,F,D,DF,F+(?)P(X-ISM and A-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b
Shitenshuu: - D,DB,B,D,DB,B+(?)P(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
- Ki Style: 3K/SK+FP(GBA)(A-ISM and V-ISM)
Jyasen - B(charge 2 sec.)F+P
Ouga - DB(charge 2 sec.)UB or UF+K(A-ISM and V-ISM)
Kyoretsu - SP(up close)
Low Strike - FP(close)
Saizu - Jump over opponent, FK
Counterpunch - D+FP
Satsu Jin - D+SK
Ukon - RK, RK(air)(A-ISM and V-ISM)
Jyakouha - D,DF,F,D,DF,F+(?)K(A-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b
Kouga - D,DB,B,D,DB,B+(?)K(A-ISM)(Air)/D,DB+B+a+b
- [ So Style ] -
Well as you all know Gen has two different fighting styles and he can switch
whenever he wants like when he's in the air or after a knock down. Having
two different styles in his possesion makes him a very versatile player
because each style plays comepletely different from each other as all his
normal attacks, special attacks, and super combos are completely different.
In this mode Gen is an all around combo master. He can successfully chain
combos in a ZigZag motion like Jab, Short, Strong, Foward, Fierce,
Roundhouse or even a reverse ZigZag(like Akuma in X-COTA) Short, Jab,
Foward, Strong, Roundhouse, Fierce. But he can most likely chain up to four
hits, but his attacks are really weak and it will take quite a bit of time
and attacks for him to cause any real damage.
- [ Hyakurenkou ] -
This is exactly like E.Honda's Hundred Hand Slap, except Gen cannot move
while in this. This does good damage and is way too easy to combo in. This
also serves as an excellent chipper as well so feel free to knock that Guard
Meter down.
- [ Gekirou ] -
This move juggles the opponent and does up to 7 hits. Once Gen connects he
will kick the opponent and after a few hits he will do sorta a Lui Kang
Bicycle kick diagonally in the air. This does alot of damage and will also
catch ground opponents and also serves as an excellent anti-air attack
because Gen practically has no recovery time from this. This is also a good
chipper and can really knock down the Guard Meter.
-- [ Zan'ei ] --
What Gen will do is the souped up version of his Hyakurenkou as he barrages
his fist that ends with him pointing his finger at his opponent. When it
connects not only will it do a great deal of damage, it can steadily drain
your life bar away with each count of the countdown above the opponent's
head. When the counter reaches "0" the opponent automatically becomes
dizzy(if he hasn't hit Gen during the duration of this timer) allowing you
to do this trick all over again. Just way too cheap and it also takes a ton
of the Guard Meter, rediculous! Capcom should have made this a complete
level 3 super because of all the benefits it has. Also Gen players will also
try to play keep away with you as well so just don't let this thing connect
because the damage is herendous and it can be accomplished over and over
again until your defeated.
-- [ Shitenshuu ] --
What Gen will do is glide across the floor and if he connects a series of
internal explosions will explode inside the character causing massive
damage. But if Gen misses he will can easily recover and also despite the
opponent is blocking or not Gen will land on the other side of the opponent.
However, the super does no guard damage towards the opponent.
- [ Ki Style ] -
Like his Preying Mantis Style he can switch different styles whenever he
wants whether he is knocked down or in the air. This style is completely
different from his preying Mantis because he can not chain combo as easily
and often relies on one attack button to combo, the Roundhouse button. He
can chain up to four consecutive Roundhouses in a row causing alot of
damage. In this mode he also has alot of normal moves that leaves him open
to attack but he is also a little stronger than in Preying Mantis mode.
However whether your in Snake Style or Preying Mantis Style Gen will remain
in that style until you lose the entire match or you decide to switch. Gen
will always be in Preying Mantis style whenever you start a fresh battle,
also you can notice which style Gen is in by his standing pose. When he is
in Preying Mantis Mode he walks normally with his hands in a clamp form.
When he is in Snake mode he will sorta stand on one leg.
- [ Jyasen ] -
Boy this has got to be the move that sets Gen apart from being lousy in his
Snake Style. What Gen will do is roll into a ball and roll across the ground
hitting up to five times for tremendous damage. This is too powerful of a
move it easily equals the damage of most level 1 supers. This is also a
really heavy chipper and can easily knock away that Guard Meter. It has a
tiny bit of start up delay that is barely noticeable making it uncomboable.
This is an excellent counter against missed supers as well as Dragon Punches
alike. Gen is practically safe even if the opponent blocks.
- [ Ouga ] -
Sorta like the Cajun Strike and Jaguar Tooth combined. Gen will hop onto to
a wall and you can do a ton of things while he is on the wall:
-Don't do anything and Gen will do a jump kick towards the opponent
-Press B to comepletely stop the move
-Press F to have Gen do a longer jump kick towards the opponent
-Press U to have Gen move towards the top of the screen
-Gen does a head stomp when you do nothing when in ceiling
-Press UB or UF and Gen will completely stop the move
-Press F or B and Gen will do a dive kick
Well this is sorta confusing but with a little practice and memory you can
master this and confuse opponents in no time flat.
- [ Kyoretsu ] -
Basically this is Gen's anti-crouch counter. You'll have to be close to the
opponent to pull it off, but like most crouch counters, it's a little slow
and has a short recovery delay.
- [ Satsu Jin ] -
This is primarily used as a set up for his super Jyakouha. You must cancel
quickly though. It can also be used to set up other attacks, especially
in the corner where you can follow up with the Gekirou.
- [ Low Strike ] -
Not much to this move, it can be used as an overhead counter though, but
the slow start may ward you off from it. In X-ISM this is a low strike,
while in other ISMs it's just a regular attack.
- [ Saizu ] -
This kick is a bit odd. It's actually a regular attack that really requires
no special motion. To perform this move jump over the opponent and his
back leg will kick the opponent.
- [ Counterpunch ] -
Not much to this move, other than the fact that it comes out a bit slow and
is primarily used against close opponents who have just used their
projectiles.
- [ Ukon ] -
When Gen is in the air he can perform two consecutive Roundhouse kicks in a
row. This is an all around excellent move to use because it can set up alot
of combo possibilities. Sometimes the opponent blocks the first hit and then
low blocks the second hit, but instead you cannot low block air attacks and
thus making this a confusion tactic as well. Gen can immediately go into his
S.Roundhouse after this as it will result in a nasty and powerful four-hit
combo.
* NOTE: It is much harder to pull this off on the GBA version. Your best
chance of success is against Sagat, and even then you would have
to aim high for the two hits to come out.
-- [ Jyakouha ] --
This is an excellent and also an extremely powerful air counter. This is
similar to Dhalsim's Yoga Strike as Gen will grap the opponent with his feet
and then stomp on the opponent. This doesn't have much priority all it
really has is speed. But do not worry about the priority part because this
thing travels very fast and can catch an airborne opponent most of the time.
But moves like T.Hawk's Condor Dive or Cammy's Cannon Thrust Gen can be
easily knocked out of the air by these. This is also easily comboed off his
C.Short because it bounces the opponent into the air and is the perfect
setup for this move.
-- [ Kouga ] --
Boy this is an all around worthless move. This is sorta like the Maximum
Spider except for the fact that it won't juggle the opponent or do extreme
damage. Each hit though is very powerful but the opponent always or mostly
blocks the second hit. This super cannot combo within itself but is good for
a surprise attack against fireballers and missed supers or Dragon Punches
alike. This will however drain the Guard Meter down extremely fast and can
chip pretty nicely but Gen can be hit out of it as he bounces off the walls.
=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Guile ] ---------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Guile ] - Justice binds his will to fight
Sonic Boom - B(charge 2 sec.)F+P
Somersault Kick - D(charge 2 sec.)U+K
Knee Bazooka - F+SK
Spinning Backfist - F+FP
Rolling Sobat - F+FK
Reverse Spin Kick - F+RK(close)
Sonic Hurricane - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)P(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
Somersault Strike - DB(charge 2 sec.)F,B,UF+(?)K(A-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b
- [ Sonic Boom ] -
The sonic boom is much like Charlie's, but Guile has picked up some
recovery time from his last appearence. It's very comboable and does good
damage but it's one of the slower projectiles in the game.
- [ Somersault Kick ] -
Looks just like Charlie's and does good damage and can be easily comboed.
This is a very good anti-air attack because the flash part of the kick gives
Guile so much range. But if Guile misses he will be left open to attack.
- [ Knee Bazooka ] -
Well if Guile needed something to attack quick after his Sonic Boom this
would be it. Actually Guile can practically chain anything after his Sonic
Boom. This can also be used as a surprise attack since the fact that it
comes out so quick, this also has good range because Guile hops forward a
little. Did I mention this goes over low attacks and has basically no
recovery delay? Such a simple move to do has alot of advantages.
- [ Spinning Backfist ] -
This can also be used after Guile has thrown his Sonic Boom for a quick
attack. Although this might look like a regular attack this has alot of
advantages to a regular attack. This attack comes out quick and will either
beat out or trade hits with projectile throwing opponents up close. The
recovery time is pratically non-existant making it a safe move to use.
- [ Rolling Sobat ] -
Well just like charlie's it has no recovery time and is good for using it as
a crouch counter. Guile will just hop up a little and do a jump kick that
goes over low attacks, which is good for overhead counters.
- [ Reverse Spin Kick ] -
This will have Guile turn upside down and kick, while it usually goes over
most crouching opponents, it usually does go over many low attacks.
-- [ Sonic Hurricane ] --
The Sonic Hurricane is much like Chn-Li's Kikoushou from the Vs. series.
A giant sonic wave will encircle Guile, it'll fill up 1/3 of the screen
and is very comboable. It does good damage and can catch air opponents,
but it has poor range and is easily avoidable.
-- [ Somersault Strike ] --
Pretty much a Guile version of the Shouryuu Reppa(or vice versa). This
move comes out very quick, is very comboable, and does very good damage.
The only problem is with the recovery delay.
=============================================================================
---------------------------------- [ Guy ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ Guy ] - A modern day ninja seeking truth

Bushin Musourenka - F,DF,D,DB,B,F,DF,D,DB,B+P(A-ISM and X-ISM)
- [ Hayagake ] -
Well this is Guy's run and you can't pull off any normal attacks while in
this stance and you cannot stop in the middle of it either, but hitting any
other kick button will result in a different special move attack. You can
canel this run if you press short kick.
- [ Hayagake: Kage Sukui ] -
A good surprise move that can easily tag opponents from screen distance and
does a good amount of damage as well, the recovery time is excellent and you
can also chip away at some life too, not to mention chipping away at the
Guard Meter as well.
- [ Hayagake: Kubikari ] -
This is Guy's crouch counter that pops out of nowhere when the opponent
least expects it. This does alot of damage but opponents see it coming way
too often and the ability to combo it is non existant. The recovery time is
pretty good though and the priority of this move is pretty high.
- [ Bushin Senpuu Kyaku ] -
Well as far as I can tell this is Guy's only special anti-air attack. While
being far from being the best anti-air attack the move as alot of priority
up close and does good damage while juggling the opponent in the air. The
Roundhouse version basically misses all ground opponents but hits three
times in the air, while the Foward version easily chains off his C.Forward.
What Guy will do is do a Shatoken like Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku except his
version has basically completely vertical range while lacking alot of
horizontal range, also if Guy misses he will land back to the ground and be
unable to block, so try to use this sparingly unless you are sure it will
connect.
- [ Izuna no Hiji Otoshi ] -
After you have performed the Bushin Leap hit punch and Guy will do an Elbow
Drop that does good damage and the recovery time on this is pretty good
since its so hard to counter. But I don't think this will hit crouching
block opponents though.
- [ Bushin Izuna Drop ] -
Well this has got to be one of the most intimidating moves Guy has. After
you perfrom the Bushin Leap wait until you are close to your opponent and
then hit F+P and Guy will suplex the heck out of the opponent doing alot of
damage. Guy can also catch opponents out of the air as well. The only
problem with this move is the timing, but if you give it a little practice
you should easily pull it off.
- [ Hozanto ] -
Well this move does do alot of damage and it can be comboed even though it
has a bit of a start-up delay it can still surprise opponents. What Guy will
do is spin a little on the ground and then suddenly pop up with an elbow,
and I think this either goes through projectiles or under them, I'm not sure
because I have done this several times and have sometimes gone through
projectiles. The recovery time is practically non-existant as well.
- [ Kubi Kudaki ] -
Well this is Guy's crouch counter and like most crouch counters this has a
bit of a start-up delay and it can't be comboed. This anti-crouch counter
only hits once but that hit easily matches up to Ryu's two hits and it comes
out faster than Ryu's as well. Try not to be too predictable with this even
though it comes out fast because when Guy starts this move anybody can
easily sweep him.
- [ Kamaitachi ] -
A good attack that does decent damage and can also be used as an anti-air
attack, but the priority of being an anti-air attack is fairly low. This can
be used as a good surprise move and this will push Guy back leaving him safe
to block incase he misses.
- [ Hiji Otoshi ] -
This is an air elbow that is similar to the Izuna no Hiji Otoshi except that
it comes straight down. It's a great set up move for combos, but it's hard
to connect on an active opponent.
-- [ Bushin Hassou Ken ] --
This is an excellent anti-air attack because its unblockable. Despite this
being an anti-air attack this has tremendous ground range and can catch most
standing opponents from 1/3 screen distance! What Guy will do is perfrom an
auto-juggle air combo that does alot of damage, but it will not catch
crouching opponents and if he misses he can easily be countered, so don't
just pop this up out of nowhere and expect it to connect.
-- [ Bushin Gou Rai Kyaku ] --
Well if there was a cool super award, Guy would definately be a top
contender. What Guy will do is come at the opponent with a series of attacks
and ends the a thrust kick. This chips very nicely at the life guage and can
bring down the Guard Meter real easily. This is also good for countering
missed supers of Dragon Punches alike. Becareful when using this though,
because right before Guy does that last kick he can be thrown out of the
super, if the super is blocked though.
-- [ Bushin Musourenka ] --
This is one of the more flashier supers in the game. Once connected, Guy
performs a 10 hit combo in pitch black as streaks of lighting forms from
his strikes. While the damage is respectable, the range is not. This move
is a throw move and is not blockable...you must be very close to the
opponent to connect and this move has virtually no priority, so you'll
really have to time your attack or get lucky.

- [ Sniping Arrow ] -
Well I would not call this an excellent move, but it is a good move even
though its uncomboable except through juggling because it does good damage
and has excellent range. You can use this to tag opponents from as far as
screen distance. There is a downside to this move though and that's the fact
that she has a huge start up delay making it uncomboable. The good news is
that once she starts this move there is no stopping her because it has very
high priority and the recover delay is next to nothing! So if your opponent
misses a super from a distance you can surely counter with this!
- [ Cannon Spike ] -
An overall excellent anti-air attack that does alot of damage. This anti air
attack has excellent priority and has very mean range, I mean it probably
has as much range as Dan's Roundhouse Dankukyaku, horizontally or course!
This can tag practically any jumping attacker and is also very comboable and
is perfect for missed supers and Dragon Punches alike. But like all anti air
attacks if she misses she will fall back unable to block.
- [ Axle Spin Knuckle ] -
Well unlike Cammy's this does not go through projectiles and should only be
used as the opponent gets up so they are forced to block and this move can
chip away alot of life and take away some heavy Guard Meter damage as well.
This move has a start up delay but if she hits a blocked opponent she can
recover in time to block.
- [ Falling Arc ] -
Surprisingly this move does not have much start up delay like most anti
crouch counters. This move does good damage and can fool the opponent
sometimes if you don't use it much because it doesn't even look like it
attacks over the head even though it does, but its a matter of opinion
though. Again try not to be too predictable with this move because you can
be countered.
- [ Psycho Charge Beta ] -
Well Juni must be near her for this move to work successfully as it will
restore quite a bit of Health on the damage meter giving you the upper hand
advantage, but the problem is that it leaves her open to attack for a full
three seconds. Make usre Juni is near otherwise it will not work.
-- [ Spin Dive Smasher ] --
This is an all around excellent super because it deals out alot of damage
and has extremely high priority. Its sorta like a multi hit Cannon Drill
into a multi hit Cannon Spike. This comboes off anything and it can reach up
to 2/3 screen distance making it practically a perfect counter against
missed supers and Dragon Punches alike. Also this is one of the rare supers
that you can air block, but if she misses she will fall unable to block.
-- [ Reverse Shaft Breaker ] --
This is also an excellent super and is mainly used as an anti air attack. If
you ram the buttons you can get more hits, significantly more hits! The
trick to doing this is that you must hesistate for just a second after the
move starts then ram the buttons to get more hits out of it. This also
comboes easily as well and is un airblockable. But if she misses she will
fall unable to block.
- [ Psycho Rolling ] -
Well I'm not sure this is a good idea to ever use this super because it does
very little damage and you must be near Juni to perform this move. This can
also be used as an anti-air attack as both Juni and Juli form a ball
together and hit the opponent multiple times. The recovery time is not bad
but its not good either so you might want to save your super meters for
the...
- [ Death Cross Dancing ] -
If this connects both Juni and Juli will start to pummel their opponent at
the same time and end with each of them doing a Sniping Arrow kick. A truely
impressive 16 hitter, but there are many downsides to this move. First off
it is blockable, it can be Tech Hit out of, and it does pitiful damage for a
level 3 super, probably a third of the damage of Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu.
The good part about this super is that either Juni and Juli can do this move
and they do not have to be near each other. The recovery time is not bad and
the start up delay is pretty good making it a good counter for missed supers
and Dragon Punches alike, and this super is extremely comboable.

- [ Cannon Drill ] -
Well this move is exactly like Cammy's except for the fact that you have to
charge for the move. The Roundhouse version hits twice and this move is also
very comboable and has practically no start up delay. Also it is good to
point out that it can also be used to counter missed supers and Dragon
Punches alike incase you don't have a super on ya. Also if blocked or missed
she will have a bit of recovery time leaving her open to attack.
- [ Cannon Spike ] -
Exactly like Juli's and Cammy's it has a load of range and can be easily
comboed. Also it serves as an excellent anti air attack and can deal out
alot of damage and the combo possibility is pretty high. Once again its that
charge down move making it difficult for you to use it whenever you please.
But then again like most anti air attacks if she misses she will fall unable
to block.
- [ Cannon Thrust ] -
An excellent jump in attack that deals good damage and has very high
priority as well. This often catches opponents by surprise because due to
the fact that it comes out so quick and most people don't even know that she
even has it! The recovery time is practically non-existant making it a good
move to use, but it is counterable by Draon Punches alike and anti air
supers.
- [ Hooligan Combination ] -
This move is basically very similar to Cammy's Hooligan Combination. She
will sorta flip into the air towards her opponent, if you don't do anything
during the duration of this move she will go into her Razor Edge Slicer, if
you press the punch or kick button away from the opponent she will cancel
the move altogether and when up close if you press either a punch or kick
she will go into her Cross Scissor Pressure(low) or Fatal Leg Twister(high).
Basically a surprise attack and should be used sparingly.
- [ Earth Direct ] -
This is a very painful move that is visually impressive as Juni will pick up
her opponent and then rise high into the air and slam the opponent down.
Since this is a throw it lacks alot of range but it is unblockable making it
useful against turtlers. If she misses she will go into her missed pose
leaving her open to attack.
- [ Psycho Shield ] -
Well in X-ISM she can only do this on the ground, but right after you block
an attack Juni will sorta push block her opponent similar to Dan's as well
as to the crossover series. An excellent move to use when you are trapped in
the corner and should be used often unless you plan to punish a mistake.
- [ Mach Slide ] -
Well when I first saw this in the manual I thought it was an attack, but
little did I know its her teleport. I think this is the first time Capcom
has ever put a quarter circle motion into a teleport. The strength of the
kick button will determine how far she will go, and she is completely
invincible during this move but after she comes out of it she is left open
to attack.
- [ Falling Arc ] -
Just like Juli's it can hit up to three times and can cause alot of Guard
Meter damage as well and does good damage. This move doesn't quite have the
start up delay like Ryu's Overhead Punch but it still has a start up delay
and she will yell whenever she does this move making it even more
predictable. Use this on crouch blocking opponents only or non blocking
opponents, but like I said she can be attacked before she actually performs
this move.
- [ Psycho Charge Alpha ] -
Well Juli must actually be near her for this to work as she will restore
some lost Super Meter or Custom Combo Guage. However if she does this from a
distance hopefully Juli can back her up because this will leave her open for
a full three seconds leaving her open to attack so make sure it connects!
- [ Psycho Streak ] -
What Juni will do is give a salut and M.Bison will perform either level of
his Psycho Crusher depending on which punch button strength you have used.
This has a start up delay and its also a dead giveaway when she saluts, but
it cannot be blocked while the opponent is in the air making it a good air
counter. Also it doesn't really do much damage and also if you are too close
to your opponent M.Bison will appear on the other side of the opponent not
even attacking your opponent leaving Juni open to attack, but it can take
down the Guard Meter very quickly and does good chipping damage and the
recovery time is not half bad, but its not half good either.
- [ Spin Dive Smasher ] -
Well just like Cammy's and Juli's its a multi hitting Cannon Drill into a
multi hitting Cannon Spike that does alot of damage and this is obviously
Juni's strongest super. This is an excellent counter for missed supers and
Dragon Punches alike as it will reach up to two thirds screen distance, but
this is one of the rare supers that you can air block though. This also has
a high combo ability factor, but the recovery time is quite bad as before
Juni lands she will fall unable to block.
- [ Psycho Rolling ] -
Well I'm not sure this is a good idea to ever use this super because it does
very little damage and you must be near Juni to perform this move. This can
also be used as an anti-air attack as both Juni and Juli form a ball
together and hit the opponent multiple times. The recovery time is not bad
but its not good either so you might want to save your super meters for
the...
- [ Death Cross Dancing ] -
If this connects both Juni and Juli will start to pummel their opponent at
the same time and end with each of them doing a Sniping Arrow kick. A truely
impressive 16 hitter, but there are many downsides to this move. First off
it is blockable, it can be Tech Hit out of, and it does pitiful damage for a
level 3 super, probably a third of the damage of Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu.
The good part about this super is that either Juni and Juli can do this move
and they do not have to be near each other. The recovery time is not bad and
the start up delay is pretty good making it a good counter for missed supers
and Dragon Punches alike, and this super is extremely comboable.

- [ Guren Ken ] -
Well this is like Fei Long's Rekka Ken except for the fact that it comes out
just a bit slower and the combination of attacks she can add are huge. The
above moves that have the motions in brackets are the moves she can perform
after the the initial GurenKen.
- [ Houshou ] -
Well I'm not sure what this move is for but it basically sucks. What Karin
will do a knock her fist against her opponent and knock the opponent down
everytime. This move has very small range but it has excellent priority and
can easily trade hits with fireballers. Also she has a lengthy amount of
recovery time after this move as well while having practically no start up
delay.
- [ Mujin Kyaku: ] -
Well what this move will do is do a two hit combo that jacks the opponent up
a bit. The range is fair while the damage is pretty decent. You can set up
juggle combos with this move but I doubt that you can get alot of hits
afterwards or if any.
- [ Ressen Ha ] -
Well this funky move can deal good damage and also be used as a jump in
attack as Karin swirls her fist at her opponent. This is also a good anti
air attack and will most likely beat out or at least trade hits with normal
and special moves. Also the recovery time is barely noticeable and the start
up delay is practically non-existant making this move a safe move to use
without the fear of being counter attacked.
- [ Arakuma Inashi ] -
Well this move is rather weak for a 360 degree motion move but if she
catches her opponent she will hit the opponent twice and then throw the
opponent. Not actually the best looking move in the game though it does weak
damage for a 360 motion like I said but its also unblockable, but the throw
range on this move is not all that great.
- [ Yasha Gaeshi(high) ] -
Well not exactly the best move in the game, but a very useful move. Treat
this like you would Rose's Soul Reflect, getting the timing down to pat and
hopefully you can predict if you opponent will hit high or low. If the
opponent hits her high while she does this move she will perform a counter
attack that knocks your opponent back that does good damage. This move is
unblockable low and try not to use this on jumping opponents because you
will rarely connect with this. Also if she does this move an the opponent
doesn't strike they can't wait until after and she also cannot counter
projectiles either.
- [ Yasha Gaeshi(low) ] -
Well not exactly the best move in the game, but a very useful move. Treat
this like you would Rose's Soul Reflect, getting the timing down to pat and
hopefully you can predict if you opponent will hit high or low. If the
opponent hits her low while she does this move she will perform a counter
attack that knocks your opponent back that does good damage. This move is
unblockable high and try not to use this on jumping opponents because you
will rarely connect with this. Also if she does this move an the opponent
doesn't strike they can't wait until after and she also cannot counter
projectiles either. Okay so I copied this from the first one, but its
basically the same move except its a low attack counter.
- [ Ressen Chou ] -
What Karin will do is attack her opponent with her elbows into a two hit
combo. The range isn't really all that great and must be used in close
ranged combat and also the recovery time is a bit noticeable amking it
counterable. A good attack to put in combos though.
- [ Elegant Kick ] -
This is her basic anti crouch counter. It comes out quite fast for an anti
crouch counter and it does good damage as well. Surprisingly this can take
away alot of Guard Meter damage as well, but there is still a bit of a start
up delay so she can be attacked before she attacks the opponent.
-- [ Kanzuki-ryuu Kou'ou Ken ] --
This is her rushing super and you should use this to counter missed supers
and Dragon Punches alike also it can do good Guard Meter damage and can chip
pretty decently as well. This super has practically no start up delay and
recovery time and can be comboed. The recovery time can be countered by
something quick as well though.
-- [ Kanzuki-ryuu Shinpikaibyaku ] --
Basically what this is, is an anti air attack and also its her strongest
super. You should wait until your opponent is just above you so you can get
the most hits out of the super. Also this has high priority and the start up
delay is practically non-existant, but this will not hit standing opponents
even if they block and also if she misses she will fall unable to block.

- [ Hadouken ] -
Just like Ryu's fireball but not as fast. Use this whenever your far away
from the opponent and use it just when they get up so you can chip that
extra bit of life. Just watch out when opponents jump over this projectile
and come in for an attack which makes Ken vulnerable. Try to use this often
in an effective two-in-one like those old Street Fighter 2 days.
- [ Shoryuken ] -
Virtually the best anti-air counter in the game. This Dragon punch is very
powerful as it hits multiple times doing good damage as well as block
damage. He has less recovery time than that of anyone else's anti-air
attack. The stronger the button used the more hits will come out.
- [ Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku ] -
This version of the hurricane kick is mainly for combos rather than for
priority over other attacks. The hits are relatively week, but it can hit
up to five times and is very combo friendly. It does good block damage and
has minimal recovery delay.
- [ Inazuma Kakato Wari ] -
Ken's crouch counter that has a start up delay and can be seen miles away.
Just use it on people who constantly block low and when opponents just get
up from a knockdown. It becomes predictable after a while, so try to use it
as a surprise move.
- [ Ushiro Mawashigeri ] -
Well basically what this is a kick going forward having a lot of horizontal
range. But I'm not really sure what this is here for. It has a huge start up
delay even longer than the Axe Kick and you will barely connect with this.
If you want to use this for missed supers time it real early otherwise you
will miss.
- [ Forward Roll ] -
Well not much for this move though. You can roll through opponents with this
move which is good for crossing up opponents but the roll is rather slow and
doesn't really have much distance. This has no offensive purpose whatsoever
and Ken can be knocked down from it.
- [ Forward Collapse ] -
This is much like Ryu's fake fireball, it doesn't really do much good other
than play mind games with your opponent(obviously human opponents). The
recovery time is slow and leaves Ken open to attack for just over a second.
- [ Shoryuu Reppa ] -
One of the best supers in the game. This will beat anything out during
start-up. He is practically invincible during start-up as he rushes towards
the opponent with multiple Dragon Punches. After the first dragon punch he
is vulnerable to some attacks. Try using this in combos because it is very
combo friendly and it does pretty good block damage as well.
- [ Shinryuken ] -
Same as the Shoryuu Reppa, its invincible during start-up and is a great
anti-air attack because it cannot be air blocked and like all of his supers,
they are easy to combo and follow up on. Also, to get extra hits out(you
can have as much as 30 in some special cases) wait until just a split second
after it starts and then ram the buttons, if you're fast enough and if you
time it just right, you can end up pulling away almost 70% of your
opponent's life guage.
- [ Shippu Jinrai Kyaku ] -
It's a bit similar to the Shoryuu Reppa in terms of motion and range, but
it's a bit more difficult to combo and does less block damage. If Ken
actually connects on the first hit without the opponent blocking, he'll
proceed to do the entire super, regardless of whether the opponent blocks
or not which is bad for Ken, but against blocking opponents, Ken will stop
just before he does his hurricane kick.

Psycho Crusher - B(charge 2 sec.)F,B,F+(?)P(A-ISM)/D,DB,B+a+b
- [ Psycho Crusher ] -
You can only use this as a regular move in X-ISM. The Psycho Crusher can't
combo too well, but it comes out rather quick and can be used as a surprise
attack. It hits up to three times and does good block damage. However, you
can be knocked out of the move by a projectile.
-[ Psycho Shot ] -
This is basically Bison's projectile but its one of the worst projectiles in
the game despite the fact that it goes screen distance. This fireball moves
slow and has a bit of a start-up delay and a long recovery delay. Unless
you're trying to chip your opponent to death I suggest you try to stay away
from this move.
- [ Double Knee Press ] -
This is basically Bison's offensive move. It has good range and does good
damage and comes out quite quick and quick enough to be comboed as well.
This hits twice and will knock the opponent down and can easily hack away at
the guard meter. But if Bison misses he will be left open to attack.
- [ Head Press ] -
This is a good surprise move because its Bison's anti-crouch counter except
it really isn't all that effective because it takes him quite a bit of time
to connect since he launches himself in the air. But it comes out quick and
does alot of damage.
- [ Psycho Fist ] -
This is a follow up move from Bison's head stomp and it cannot be comboed
but it can be pretty confusing since it looks like he jumps away and then he
suddenly comes in at you, this is also a crouch counter but Bison can just
steer the other direction if he does not want the chance of getting hit.
- [ Somersault Skull Diver ] -
This practically looks the same as his Psycho fist but instead Bison flies
over the opponent and comes down in a little arc. This is not a combo tactic
but more of a surpries move because sometimes the opponent blocks the wrong
way. But it can also be countered by anti-air attacks because this does not
have the greatest priority.
- [ Bison Warp ] -
This is Bison's teleport move and it can be useful because it takes him out
of sticky situations. F,D,DF+2/3K will have you move behind and far from
your opponent. F,D,DF+2/3P will have you move behind and close to your
opponent. B,D,DB+2/3K will have you move in front of your opponent while
B,D,DB+2/3P will have you move close in front of your opponent.
-- [ Psycho Crusher ] --
The super has a lot of range, but it still cannot absorb projectiles.
It has great combo ability and does a lot of damage. The Final Bison version
has the same combo attributes, but he is virtually invincible during
the move and it comes out extremely quick, even if you do not connect with
the Final Bison version, it still connects with block damage since you
cannot escape from it unless an opponent teleports or pulls off a quick
super (like the Shoryuu Reppa) to avoid block damage and such.
-- [ Knee Press Nightmare ] --
This is a heavy chipper and it also comes out fast doing solid damage and
hacks away at the guard meter real nicely. This also has alot of range and
can tag missed supers or Dragon Punches alike, the only problem with this is
is that Bison has considerally a ton of recovery time so an opponent can
easily counter.

- [ Short Stick ] -
Not much of a move. This will have Maki come down with her stick. It
comes out pretty fast but has virtually 100% vertical range.
- [ Genko ] -
This move will have Maki lunge forward as she knocks her opponent down with
her right arm. It does pretty good damage and can be used as a combo
finisher, however her recovery delay makes her vulnerable to attacks if
she misses.
- [ Hayagake ] -
This is basically running, what you hit afterwards will determine what she
does. This is the offensive part of her running.
Kyuteishi - Stops run
Chuu De Wazaga Hassei Sliding - It's a bit of a trick move, this will
have her slide and tackle the opponent
Kyou De Wazaga Hassei Stamping - Like above, but must be blocked high
- [ Saka Hayagake ] -
This is a backwards run. This has more defensive tactics than her forward
run.
Kyuteishi - Stops run.
Front Jump - She jumps a half screen forward.
Back Jump - She jumps backwards.
- [ Hassou Kyaku ] -
This will have her jump forward off a wall, you can even do this against
your opponent's wall.
- [ Hassou Kyaku Modified ] -
This has Maki just drop straight down, like her Hassou Kyaku above, she
can't attack while she does this.
- [ Reppuu Kyaku ] -
Much like Zangief's Spinning Lariat, except she loses some health while
doing this move. She can't kill herself using it though. This is a great
anti-air attack since it has so much priority and it has good combo
ability. It's a pretty strong attack that can hit up to three times.
-- [ Bushin Gouraiha ] --
A rush super that does a lot of damage. It deals good block damage and
has great combo ability. The only drawback of this super is that it
leaves Maki vulnerable to counter attacks if she misses. This super has
great priority and will travel through projectiles through the first
few frames.
-- [ Tesshin Hou ] --
This super is a bit tricky to use at first. I know some people make it
a habit to just use the super and not press anything afterwards, but if
you fail to press the kick button you'll have wasted the super. This super
has a ton of range and is a great combo finisher. Try connecting this
up close for more hits. It's similar to Sagat's Tiger Genocide. Recovery
time is minimal.
-- [ Ajara Tengu ] --
This is a really tough move to pull off, and on top of that, it has short
range and can only be done in the air. Kudos to those who can successfully
connect this against a moving opponent in Classic Mode configuration. What
this move does is have Maki grab her opponent and slam them across the room
until she finally gives them a giant drop to the middle of the floor. It's
quite a crowd pleaser, but like I said, it is very difficult to connect.

- [ Flying Peach ] -
Well the odd thing about this move is that it is similar to the Shooting
Peach except this one has a bit of a start up delay. This move is
uncomboable and the good thing about this move is that it has no recovery
time at the end. This move does good damage and can be used to punish
mistakes if you can time it ahead of time.
- [ Shooting Peach ] -
This move is also odd because it is completely comboable and the start up
delay is nearly non-existant. This move does good damage and is an excellent
counter against missed supers and Dragon Punches alike. There is a
disadvantage to this move though and that is that it has poor recovery time
and the opponent has a full second to attack you. So you sorta have to mix
these two up and confuse the opponent in order to use them successfully.
- [ Wingless Airplane ] -
This move is incredibly strong but the only problem with this move is
that your opponent must be in the air along with you and near you to
successfully connect with this move. Treat this like you would an air
throw(because that's basically what it is), catch your opponent right before
they come down. If she misses she will fall unable to block so watch out.
- [ Daydream Headlock ] -
Well this move deals out a ton of damage as R.Mika repeatedly jerks at the
opponents neck and then slams down her opponent. This move is unblockable as
you expected but despite the fact that it is a throw/grab move it has decent
range and can sometimes pull the opponent from some amazing distances. Do
not use this move far from your opponent because she will go into her missed
pose leaving you open to attack.
- [ Paradise Hold ] -
This move can act like Zangief's Running Bear Grab because it has tremendous
range for a throw and surprisingly the priority of this move is exceptional.
What R.Mika will do is flip torwards her opponent and then if she connects
she will clamp her opponent and slam him/her down causing servere damage.
Excellent against missed supers and Dragon Punches alike. Also I'm not
really sure if she is invincible to projectiles as well.
- [ Rainbow Body Drop ] -
This move is an excellent move for jump in's because it has good priority
and can set her up for some of her throws. Also try not to get too
predictable with this move because smart opponents can and will use their
anti air attacks or anti air supers.
- [ Knee Drop ] -
This is a more quicker way to get the jump and surprise on your opponent,
while it doesn't really cause much damage it can set up for her throws more
easily than her Rainbow Body Drop. Again try not to be too predictable and I
can't stress that enough because I find myself doing that all the time and
my brother constantly counters.
- [ Jumping Rainbow Slash ] -
Well I'm not sure what this move is for because it looks exactly like her
regular S.Forward but she moves forward a little while yelling. This can be
useful for jumping and attacking your opponent over low attacks though and
that's about it. Not really much use with this move.
-- [ Rainbow Hip Rush ] --
This is her rushing super but it really doesn't have that much range like
other rushing supers but it can still counter missed supers and Dragon
Punches alike. This is also quite comboable and can deal good damage and
Guard Meter damage at the same time. She really doesn't have any recovery
time after this move but its still something to watch out for.
-- [ Heavenly Dynamite ] --
Well this is her grab super and it deals out a ton of damage and is
obviously her strongest super. This is also unblockable as she will grab the
opponent and start hammering away and after the last hit she will drop the
opponent in either way depending on which level you use. On level 3 a ring
comes out of nowhere as she climbs on top and takes her opponent down on the
pavement. Level 3 is visually impressive and can deal out major damage.
However if she misses she will go into her miss pose and also have wasted a
level(s) of super leaving her open to attack.
-- [ Beach Special ] --
Once you activate this move she will go into R.Mika fury as I would
like to put it and then you control and after you have ran after your
opponent she will automatically grab your opponent then you can press either
K or P to grab or attack your opponent. You can do numerous moves while in
this mode and also she can jump off her ring and Elbow Drop her opponent,
but try this in training mode and see what happens and also this super is
rather weak even for a level 3 because you probably hit your opponent twice
before your R.Mika fury ends.

Steel Rain - D,DF,F,D,DF,F+(?)K(A-ISM)/B,F+a+b
- [ Spike Rod ] -
This move isn't really useful for attacking, but it is useful for moving
around. Once you're in the air you can keep doing this move as Rolento
will bounce off the ground and all over the place.
- [ Fake Rod ] -
Despite it's name, this move will hit up close. It's similar to his Spike
Rod, but he can't hop around in it.
- [ Trick Landing ] -
This move is similar to the Mekong Delta Attack, except you can do it in
the air. But you can't attack afterwards. Just before Rolento lands press
the button motion and he will leap backwards just after he touches the
ground.
- [ Patriot Circle ] -
A good attack that should only be used up close. This move will do alot of
chipping damage as Rolento spins his staff around. You can repeat this move
up to three times in a row for a total of 11 hits. This move does alot of
damage if it connects as it will knock the opponent down if the move is
repeated three times in a row. If its block it totally uncounterable since
the fact that it pushes the opponent back, but if he does not connect with
this the opponent has loads of time to attack. This is also god for taking
down that Guard Meter because it will bring down that Guard Meter very fast.
- [ Stinger ] -
Well this is Rolento's projectile but he can not win fireball fights with
this move because it has a huge start up delay and also that the fact that
his knife can be knocked away with a simple punch or kick. What Rolento will
do is jump up into the air and hold out his knife, but you must hit kick
button again to throw the knife. The one key advantage is that he can aim it
at practically any angle he wants because he can throw the knife anytime he
wants as long as he is in the air. Each kick button used at the start of
this move will make Rolento throw it at a different angle. However if it
does connect it will do alot of damage and can sometimes be considered as
the strongest projectile in the game. He can be knocked out of it on the way
up and also if he comes down and misses with the knife, he is left open for
an attack.
- [ Mekong Delta Air Raid ] -
This is both a surprise attack and an escape tactic. What Rolento will do is
jump backwards and put himself a good distance away from the opponent. If
Rolento performs this move and he presses the punch button again he will
automatically flip towards his opponent with a quick staff attack that does
good damage and practically no recovery time afterwards making it a safe
attack.
- [ Mekong Delta Escape ] -
This is an extremely excellent escape tactic because Rolento can put himself
a great distance between him and the opponent, if you move either back or
forth you can control where Rolento lands. Also Rolento has basically no
recovery time from using this move but he cannot attack either and can be
attacked while he is in the air.
- [ Mekong Delta Attack ] -
This is also another one of Rolento's escape and attack tactics. What
Rolento will do is flip backwards sorta like Vega putting a good distance
between the opponent and him, but however he is not invincible while doing
this move. Then press any punch button, but after he has finished the flip
and Rolento will roll towards his opponent with a quick attack and then
bounce off hs opponent. This has almost no recovery time and the opponent
must be close to you to counter effectively.
- [ High Jump ] -
Well he can't fly off the screen like in the crossover series but this is
higher than your average jump. What Rolento will do is do a high somersault
into the air either over his opponents head or to the wall behind him. This
can be very useful for getting you of corner trap situations.
-- [ Minesweeper ] --
This super causes tremendous damage if it connects but it cannot be comboed
and has huge start up delay due to the fact that Rolento rolls before he
lets out the grenades. This will drag the opponent towards Rolento if it
connects but he cannot attack the opponent while they are in the air, this
also sets Rolento a good distance away from his opponent, but this does only
a pixel of block damage and can't even push down the Guard Meter much.
-- [ Take No Prisoners ] --
Well this isn't the best of supers and its also one of the corniest looking
supers in the game. This move cannot be comboed and but travels extremely
quick and often connects because it catches opponents by surprise. However
you can only block this move low and this is one of the strongest supers in
the game as a little blade of some sort glides across the floor very slowly
and if it connects the opponent is lifted into the air as he is hung by one
of Rolento's men and then dropped. Not very much range either.
-- [ Steel Rain ] --
Well this super is a little odd and it also has a start up delay. What
Rolento will do is drop a bunch of knives from the ceiling or sky I guess,
and if they connect they will do major damage and excellent Guard Meter
damage. Its also very hard to escape from this super because it sorta follow
you, and probably only teleports will escape this move, also if Rolento is
hit during the duration of this move the knives will still fall.

Soul Illusion - D,DF,F,D,DF,F+(?)K(A-ISM)/B,F+a+b
- [ Soul-Piette ] -
This move will have Rose lunge forward with her leg in a semi circle. It's
a quick attack and covers great range for a normal attack.
- [ Soul Spark ] -
Basically the same as all other projectiles. Use this when your far away and
use it when opponents are just getting up. Don't use this up close cause
otherwise opponents will jump over this and attack you from above. The
recovery time is horrible like all fireballs.
- [ Soul Reflect ] -
Jab-Absorbs fireball and quickly refills SC meter.
Strong-Reflects opponent's projectile
Fierce-Reflects opponent's projectile upwards
This is overall one of the best moves in the game. When your close to an
opponent the opponent will have an extremely slim chance at blocking if they
throw a projectile and Rose uses her Soul Reflect. But when she reflects her
opponents' projectiles they hit the opponent but at half the damage that the
projectile would normally do. Her Jab Soul Reflect is an excellent way to
quickly gain your Super meter, her Fierce version can also be used as an
anti-air attack because sometimes opponents tend to throw a fireball from a
distance then come in and jump in at you, incase you suspect it use the
fierce version because its practically uncounterable! I don't think you can
reflect super fireballs though.
- [ Soul Spiral ] -
An excellent move to use when your opponent is low on energy. This hits
multiple times and does good damage and is also an excellent chipper.
Although this has a start up delay it can still be comboed in an effective
two-in-one. The recovery time is horrible so don't use it too often.
- [ Soul Throw ] -
The Soul Throw is exactly what it says. It's a throw, meaning any attack
can out-prioritize the throw. However, the attack is actually extremely
fast and will usually catch an airborne opponent. However, any opponent
on the ground will completely avoid the attack.
-- [ Aura Soul Spark ] --
Her fireball super goes extremely fast as it will eat other projectiles that
are weaker than it. But each projectile it eats it gets weaker. Try to use
this up close and it is comboable in an effective two-in-one combo.
-- [ Aura Soul Throw ] --
Her level 1 super is her Aura Throw which is just a bit stronger than her
Soul Throw. While Level 2 and Level 3 are purely for ground combos. On these
levels she will move an attack in awkward fashion as she does a flipkick and
a bunch of other attacks and ends the combo with a Soul Spark on level 2 and
on level 3 she ends the combo with a Aura Throw. This super is good for
punishing mistakes.
-- [ Soul Illusion ] --
This super will have Rose create multiple images of herself, resulting in
multiple attacks with one press of a button. She has virtually no recovery
and start up delay on this move, allowing her to create some uber-cool
combos.

- [ Hadouken ] -
The basic projectile...combos well and comes out fast. The recovery time
is decent...but the projectile is easily avoidable.
- [ Shoryuken ] -
The basic anti-air attack that is a great defender against air-borne
opponents. This is a strong attack that can be used in combos but if he
misses he will be left open to attack on the way down.
- [ Tatsumaki Senku Kyaku ] -
Ryu veers off as he lifts off the ground while spinning one leg in a
helicopter motion and any opponent who gets hit will suffer moderate damage.
This move only hits once but that one hit can equal the damage done by Ken's
5 hit or Akuma's 3 hit hurricane. This is basically a safe move to use but
don't use the roundhouse version from a distance or opponents will throw
projectiles to counter and also don't use it against opponents who are
ducking because Ryu can be hit by a regular anti-air attack like Ken's
C.Fierce.
- [ Senpuu Kyaku ] -
Basically a short kick that is overlooked. This kick comes out quite fast
and also goes over low attacks and has practically no recovery delay
afterwards.
- [ Sakotsu Wari ] -
Don't use this too often because it has a long start up delay. Use this when
opponents have nothing to do but crouch block all day. I would use this just
as the opponent is coming up so they can't counter it(only by Alpha counters
of course) if they block low and it is only blockable high.
- [ Seichu Nidan Tskui ] -
This move is much like the Overhead counter except it comes out faster and
doesn't hit a low blocking opponent. It can be used as a small dash, but
there really isn't much to using this move much.
- [ Shakunetsu Hadouken ] -
I don't really see any effect to this projectile other than the fire and
the close knockdown. It's basically a more complicated way to do the
Hadouken.
- [ Hadouken Fake ] -
This move will have Ryu fake a Hadouken, it's more to psyche the opponent
out more than anything else. It would be more useful as a tactic if it
didn't carry recovery time.
-- [ Shinkuu Hadouken ] --
A 3-5 hit Hadouken is basically what this is. It comes out fast and is very
comboable. It'll do a good deal of damage and absorb projectiles but at the
cost of the overall strength. However, you must be really close to make this
move more effective since it's easy to jump over.
-- [ Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku ] --
The hyper version of his hurricane kick goes as he pummels the opponent back
and forth. This has absolutely no horizontal range whatsoever unless you are
near the opponent. This move can possibly knock down an entire Guard Meter
Guage and its also Ryu's strongest super because it does a ton of damage.
You can easily chip alot of life out of the opponent when your near them
though but if the opponent is far away they can throw a projectile at you.
Don't worry this has practically no recovery time.
-- [ Metsu Shoryuken ] --
Not that super that you would prefer to use because for a level 3 super it
has to do more damage than what this does. This thing does about as much
damage as a level 2 Shinkuu Hadouken. Settle for the Shin Shoryuken instead.
Well this super's damage can get higher as you are farther away, when your
up close to your opponent this move does pitiful damage not even worthy of a
level 2, but if your too far away you'll either miss your opponent or go
into the Shin Shoryuken(which is the better alternative).
-- [ Shin Shoryuken ] --
Try to perform this about 1/3 screen distance away from your opponent. This
has huge damage potiential but its only his second strongest super. If you
perform this super from 1/3 distance away Ryu will rush forward against his
opponent with his elbow and if it connects he will continue on with a four
hit powerful Dragon Punch and also try not to waste this because its a level
3. You must do this move so if it connects the tip of Ryu's elbow will
barely connect, this causes Ryu to go into a four hit combo as Ryu finishes
it off with a frontwards Dragon Punch(just like the one on the introduction)
instead of a backwards Dragon Punch like his Metsu Shoryuken. Remember the
timing is the key because I find this very difficult to connect with
sometimes.

Tiger Charge - D,DF,F+Select(A-ISM)
- [ Tiger Shot ] -
One of the most feared projectiles in the game. This projectile is extremely
fast and can easily counter missed supers. But sometimes opponents will duck
under this because all opponents can duck under this and can avoid chip
damage, but its very hard to jump over but if you like to use it on turtlers
you can try the...
- [ Low Tiger Shot ] -
Same as above except this one goes low and opponents can easily jump over
this. Just watch out when opponents jump over this because Sagat has alot of
recovery time from this just like the Tiger Shot above.
- [ Tiger Flow ] -
This is one of the more unqiue anti-air attacks that does a lot of damage.
Once connected Sagat can hit the opponent up to seven times and the move is
very comboable. It'll do quite a bit of block damage for a special attack
but it's recovery delay is unavoidable.
- [ Tiger Uppercut ] -
Sagat's old move hits once or twice but still deals out the same amount of
damage(or more) to the opposition. That's pretty much the only difference
to this move other than the name with the Tiger Flow.
- [ Tiger Knee ] -
A great anti-air move that does good damage and leaves him extremely safe to
block. One of the more better anti-air attacks in the game, but this one has
alot more horizontal range than his Tiger Flow though. In X-ISM, the move
double hits if you use the roundhouse version and if you are up close to
the opponent.
-- [ Tiger Cannon ] --
A souped up version of his Tiger Shot, but it has one major flaw, he uses
the high version, so opponents can easily duck under this one and easily
escape block damage. It's seldom that this super is effective when your
opponent is on the ground, save it so you can time it to attack the
opponent as they just about reach Sagat's head.
-- [ Tiger Genocide ] --
This move is like the Shouryuu Reppa but with shorter range. It does a lot
of damage and can deal out a lot of hits as well as do solid block damage,
but it's priority after the initial Tiger Knee becomes another issue. Sagat
can be easily tripped out of the super after the first Tiger Flow is timed
correctly and the recovery delay is rather lengthy.
-- [ Tiger Raid ] --
Sagat veers up as he unleashes a lighting fast jump kick and flys towards
the opponent dealing a good amount of hits. It's a very horizontal attack
that is comboable and very quick, recovery time isn't too much of an issue
since the opponent will have enough trouble countering the attack if they
decide not to use an Alpha counter. However, the problem with this is that
this super has no anti-air protection, so jumping opponents can easily
knock Sagat out of the move before they touch ground.
-- [ (Tiger Rage) ] --
This super will have Sagat power up his Tiger Flow, but it can only be used
once. I personally would try to avoid using this since the damage on the
Tiger Flow isn't increased significantly and Sagat is left completely
vulnerable to attack in the sequence of the duration.

Midare Zakura - D,DF,F,D,DF,F+(?)K(A-ISM and X-ISM)/B,F+a+b
- [ Hadouken ] -
Well her projectile is pretty good but make sure you don't keep pressing the
button afterwards because she will charge for her bigger fireball and it
will take alot more time to bring out and it will have considerably less
range but it will do more damage but its not too much more because the extra
damage is barely noticable. Like all fireballers she has some recovery time
after she has thrown it so watch out.
- [ Shououken ] -
Well this isn't exactly the best anti-air attack because she will glide
across the floor before she actually goes into the Dragon Punch motion, but
her Jab version is excellent for anti-air attacks. This can hit up to six
times by itself and is highly comboable and does a good amount of chip
damage as well as normal damage but if she misses she will fall back down
unable to block.
- [ Shunpuu Kyaku ] -
Well unlike the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku this goes in sorta of an awkward arc
but the short version barely goes the distance while the Roundhouse version
goes full screen in a 180 degree arc. This is barely comboable despite the
fact that it has practically no start up delay so I guess the fact is that
Sakura doesn't really have any attacks that will stun the opponent long
enough for this move to connect. But if she misses she will be free to
safely block because this move practically has no recovery time afterwards.
While in X-ISM mode Sakura can do this in the air.
- [ Sakura Otoshi ] -
Well her only new move is quite awkward because its uncomboable and it
leaves her in the air doing nothing if you do nothing. After you have done
this motion and while Sakura is in the air hit the punch button rapidly and
she will do a three hit combo. Basically its probably a confusion tactic
rather than a surprise attack.
- [ Flower Kick ] -
Basically this is her anti-crouch counter but it has a bit of a start up
delay making it uncomboable. But it can be used often just as the opponent
just gets up from a knockdown so they have no chance of countering it unless
they decide to waste a super and use an Alpha Counter.
-- [ Shinkuu Hadouken ] --
Just like Ryu's Shinkuu Hadouken, it comes out pretty fast, is highly
comboable, and does a good amount of damage. She can not continously hit the
punch button for a bigger fireball to come out though and this also has
recovery time just like all other fireball supers.
-- [ Haru Ichiban ] --
A wicked funky ground based Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku kick that has Sakura
spinning on the ground and coming fast towards her opponent hitting multiple
times and causing good damage and a ton of chipping damage. This is an
excellent super against missed supers or Dragon Punches alike even if the
opponent is a half-screen distance away. USe this whenever you can because
it is extremely comboable and has basically no recovery time.
-- [ Midare Zakura ] --
This is pretty much a Shoryuu Reppa done in Sakura-like fashion. It does
about the same amount of damage with the same amount of distance and such.
It'll come out quickly and is a good measure against air attacks, but like
the Shoryuu Reppa, the recovery delay is quite long if she misses.

- [ Jigoku Scrape ] -
A nice surpriese attack that can easily counter missed supers or Dragon
Punches alike. each punch version you use will result in a different slash.
Tehy all have the same qualities though except the Jab version can be used
as an anti-air attack, but these are all comboable after his C.Fierce. The
Fierce version will hit twiced if blocked, but it will leave Sodom open to
attack.
- [ Butsumetsu Buster ] -
The damage that this thing does is pretty fair, it will do as much damage as
his Jitte Strike, but its good because for a throw it has alot of range and
will beat out alot of normal attacks. What Sodom will do is grab you and
then slam you down in an emphatic way. Use this on people who tend to turtle
often but if he misses he will go into his miss pose just like Zangief so
watch out.
- [ Daikyou Burning ] -
This move will have Sodom run at the opponent with his Sai(or swords) and
literally burn them across the floor. It does good damage and hits up to
six times but unfortunately it is blockable and leaves Sodom vulnerable to
attack.
- [ Shiraha Catch ] -
This is more of a tactical move than anything else. If your opponent can
catch Sodom at the apex of his catch, he'll immediately grab his opponent
out of their attack and throw them. It does good damage and can even take
a few characters out of their supers. However, actually catching your
opponent with this move is another story since timing is extremely tricky.
- [ Tengu Walking ] -
Joseph Parise's guide tells you that you can use this move as you come
down, and he's right. It has a bit of a start up delay but its a great
counter to attacks and will definitely surprise your opponent.
- [ Yagure reverse ] -
Well this is a shorter version of the Tengu Walking judging by the name of
it and will probably hit once if the opponent is close. But Sodom cannot use
this or his regular Tengu Walking after he has Tech Hit.
- [ Tengu Walking(get up) ] -
Much like Tengu Walking accept you must perform the motion for this move as
you immediately get up. It'll act as a good suprise attack that has little
recovery delay.
-- [ Meido no Miyage ] --
Well this is the super version of his Jitte Strike as he will do all thre
versions of his Jitte Strike into one combo, on level 2 each strike hits
twice while on level three he knocks the opponent up into the air and Slam m
down with his Sai. This is also excellent if you want to balance your
opponent up in the air. This is a good chipper but will leave you open to
attack if miss.
-- [ Ten Chuu Satsu ] --
Well this is two Betsumatsu Busters combined into one while on level three
he will do a Jab Betsumatsu Buster followed by a Fierce Betsumatsu Buster
and then a Roundhouse Daikyou Shien. This has twice as much range than
Zangief's Final Atomic Buster and can deal almost the same amount of damage!
But he will waste levels of super if he misses.

Canyon Splitter - D,DF,F [x2]+(?)P(A-ISM)/D,DF,F+a+b
- [ Condor Dive ] -
A very powerful jump in attack that has alot of priority and comes out
extremely fast. The only thing that will counter this are anti-air attack
specials and some normal anti-air attacks. If T.Hawk misses he has a little
bit of recovery delay as he will bounce off the opponent. Use this often to
peck away at some life.
- [ Tomahawk Buster ] -
An excellent anti-air attack that has alot of range I mean it has more range
than Ken's Shoryuken! This attack is quite powerful and will double hit with
the Fierce version when up close. This is also a fairly good chipper but if
he misses he will fall down unable to block.
- [ Mexican Typhoon ] -
This move will have T.Hawk grab his opponent by the neck and slam them
hard after spinning the opponent 360. It does just as much damage as the
Spinning Pile Driver and has just as much range. However, if T.Hawk performs
this move out of range, he'll go into a miss pose leaving him open to
attack.
- [ Condor Spire ] -
Well this is a move that tends be to overlooked because it does alot of
damage as T.Hawk will sorta jump up in the air and give a little hack at the
opponent's head. This is T.Hawk's anti crouch counter as it can also be used
as a surprise attack, but you simply cannot combo it due to the fact that it
has a start up delay. This also has high priority against certain anti-air
attack moves like Guy's Bushin Senpuukyaku.
- [ Body Press ] -
An air borne attack with good priority against all standard non-special
ground attacks.
-- [ Raging Typhoon ] --
This super will have T.Hawk slam his opponent multiple times using multiple
Mexican Typhoons. It does a lot of damage but it cannot be comboed. Worst
yet, when he misses he goes into his miss pose and loses his super guage.
Your best bet to using this is to attack with the Body Press and as soon as
you connect begin the motion for the super and cancel into it as you touch
the ground...blocking opponent or not.
-- [ Canyon Splitter ] --
This super will have T.Hawk perform the Condor Spire into the Tomahawk
Buster. It's a slow super to begin with and does very little damage.
Personally, I really don't know what it's here for other than to give
T.Hawk another super. It will hit low blocking opponents...but it comes
out too slow to prove effective.

B,F+a+b
- [ Ushiro Geri ] -
This isn't much of an attack, Vega leaps forward with a lateral kick that's
a bit slow to start, so it's uncomboable. This covers good distance for a
normal attack, but often you'll find yourself pulling this move by accident.
- [ Triangle Jump ] -
Not much going here. This allows Vega to jump the wall and then jump forward
after launching himself from the wall. This can be used as an escape tactic.
- [ Roling Crystal Flash ] -
This is one of Vega's prime weapons and is a very heavy chipper and is a
good counter for missed supers or Dragon Punches alike. This move has alot
of range and does alot of damage. But Vega can be swept while doing this and
he is vulnerable to projectiles, but it comes out so quick that opponents
wouldn't have much time to do the motion for the projectile. What Vega will
do is roll into a ball and while he rolls he attacks the opponents multiple
times while ending with a very powerful claw to the opponents stomach, but
Vega does have recovery time afterwards and it can also bring down the Guard
Meter very quickly.
- [ Sky High Claw ] -
This is either a confusion move or a surprise attack because when Vega leaps
back to the wall sometimes opponents think he is just Wall jumping so they
wait until he gets close to knock him with their anti-air attack, but then
Vega bounces off the wall and comes at the opponent real fast and attacking
the opponent horizontally doing alot of damage. If Vega misses he is
relatively left safe to block, but he can be knocked out of it if your close
to him and if you are quick enough.
- [ (Wall Leap) ] -
Well what vega will do is jump towards either wall depending which direction
you used and leap off of it giving you the option to do two different types
of attacks as you may choose, but this move alone has no attack abilities
whatsoever.
- [ (Fence Climb) ] -
Well what Vega will do is climb the fence in his home stage and move around
and jump off, but also you can do two different moves as well. Its hard to
control Vega while he is on the fence unlike when he was in SF2T where
controlling him was a snap. Vega is also vulnerable to attacks while in this
mode though so don't just pull it out of nowhere.
- [ Flying Barcelona Attack ] -
After the wall leap Vega will perform a diving slash in sorta of an arc form
that does fair damage. This move is uncomboable obviously but it is a good
surprise attack and will leave Vega safe to block after he lands from this
attack.
- [ Flying Barcelona Izuna Drop ] -
An excellent move to use because its very quick and does a ton of damage.
After the wall leap wait until Vega gets close to his opponent and the do
the throw motion, this tactic works just like Guy's Bushin Leap. But while
not attacking until Vega is close to the opponent leaves Vega open to alot
of attacks. Also Vega can do this when the opponent is in the air as well,
but then again the opponent can jump towards Vega with an attack and knock
Vega out of it.
- [ Short Backslash ] -
An excellent escape move because Vega is invincible while doing this move,
but the downside is that he can be hit at the very end of the flip, but the
opponent has to be real quick about it, but sometimes an opponent can
predict this move by throwing a Jab version projectile ahead of time. Also
Vega cannot move forward with this move making it very difficult to escape
corner traps, so doing this while your trapped in the corner just puts you
at an even worst position.
- [ Backslash ] -
This puts Vega a good distance away from the opponent but then again
opponents can time a projectile ahead of time. Vega is still invincible
while doing this move, but a crucial downside is the fact that Vega cannot
go forward with this move giving him a huge disadvantage for those players
who can't seem to get out of corner traps.
- [ Scarlet Terror ] -
Well Vega's new move is truely amazing! Not only will it do good damage, and
can combo, but it also serves as Vega's first true anti-air attack. Use this
whenever you can if the opponent tries to jump in.
- [ Scarlet Rain ] -
Well a rather odd move for Vega has he takes a hop forward and performs a
jump kick. This kick has huge start up delay and anybody can counter before
he actually connects with this move. I'm not even sure if its an anti-crouch
counter or not because I rarely connect with it.
-- [ Rolling Inzuna Drop ] --
Well this is only a set up move as Vega will jump towards the wall and jump
off. This move alone does no damage whatsoever but like his regular Wall
Leap it sets up two options you can decide what to do. Also Vega is
invincible during the start-up move because he flashes.
-- [ Barcelona 'Fence Climb' ] --
Basically his fence climb except he is invincible while during the start-up
of this move as he flashes. This move however will do no damage on its own
though but just like his Fence Climb he has two different options to decide
which move he will use or not.
-- [ Rolling Izuna Drop ] --
What Vega will do is slam the opponent multiple times doing a ton of damage
and this move is unblockable, but Vega is easily knock out of this move
though. But don't rely on this move to often to pull you victories because
the priority on this move is very low.
-- [ Rolling Barcelona Attack ] --
The super version of his Barcelona attack that does good damage while
hitting the opponent multiple times. A better option to the Barcelona Suplex
because this has more priority and will connect more often then his
Barcelona 'Suplex'.
-- [ Scarlet Mirage ] --
There really isn't too much to this move, though it is comboable and can
be used as an anti-air attack. It doesn't travel very far or high on damage
but it does do a decent job on block damage and has good priority on the
ground.
-- [ Red Impact ] --
Well a rather odd super, but what Vega will do a give a good swipe at his
opponent with his claw and if it connects the opponent will then be tossed
into the air and the opponent falls back onto Vega's lifted claw. Does good
damage but since its blockable and does pitiful block damage I wouldn't
waste a level three for it unless you are well in the lead.

Sourai-Rengeki - D,DF,Fx2+(?)P/D,DF,F+a+b
You Hou - D,DB,Bx2+(?)P/B,F+a+b
- [ Rolling Kyaku ] -
This move, although looks like an overhead counter, is not. It's much like
Vega's Ushiro Geri, not much to this move except it covers good distance for
a regular attack.
- [ Raigeki Shu ] -
This move is a bit hard to pull off sometimes as you MUST jump towards your
opponent to pull it off. This move comes down pretty quickly, but it's hard
to form a chain combo from. This is mainly a peck and run type of move since
it does fairly moderate damage. It comes down at such a sharp angle so
quickly that it can catch your opponents off guard.
- [ Zesshou Hohou ] -
A bit of an odd move, it's actually a close range move, but it can cover
large distances quickly. It combos nicely with virtually any of the medium
to small regular attacks and has great priority. Recovery time is almost
non-existent but Yun is still susceptible to porjectiles.
- [ Tetsuzankou ] -
Yun will wave his arms a bit into the air with this move. This attack
looks like an ideal anti-air, but it really doesn't have much priority
and doesn't juggle the opponent. It's a quick move that's a much better
ground counter than an air counter, though it's recovery delay and lack
of chain ability will ward you off from using it too much.
- [ Kobokushi ] -
This is a definite close range move. It knocks down every time and has
great chain ability. One thing about this move is that it's a great
counter, it comes out fast and has almost no recovery delay when you
don't connect(basically when the opponent doesn't block and you miss).
- [ Senkyutai ] -
This is one of the few anti-air attacks that doesn't involved the standard
dragon punch or charge motion. It's a great move since it has excellent
anti-air capabilities and it can be easily comboed. Though you are
vulnerable to attacks on the way down.
- [ Zenpu-Tenshin ] -
This is another one of Yun's close moves. When performed Yun will flip to
the other side of his opponent, leaving them momentarily stunned. This
allows you to quickly pull in a combo, especially against those turtlers.
It's a good move to use since it cannot be blocked and recovery time is
virtually absent.
-- [ Sourai-Rengeki ] --
Similar to the Cross Fire Blitz, it's a rush super of quick physical attacks
that's a great combo finisher. It does good block damage, but it leaves Yun
open if he doesn't connect. It will go through projectiles with the first
initial frames of animation, but it must be very early.
-- [ You Hou ] --
This super can only be done up close. This will knock the opponent into the
air and during that time you can either quickly throw them in mid-air
(if your timing is good) or finish off with a Senkyutai. It's not a good
super to use since it lacks range and recovery time leaves Yun open to
attacks. Although you can combo with this, it's usually better you stick
with Yun's other super.

Aerial Russian Slam - D,DF,F [x2] +(?)K(A-ISM)
Final Atomic Buster - 360 Degrees [x2] +(?)P(A-ISM and X-ISM)
- [ Double Spinning Lariat ] -
An excellent anti-air attack as Zangief spins his arms wildly hitting his
opponent smack dab in the face. However despite this is a very strong attack
it will not hit opponents that are low to the ground. Zangief can move while
doing this but only back and forth and he is vulnerable to low attacks.
- [ Spinning Lariat ] -
Well this is exactly the same as his Spinning Lariat except this last
twice as fast and the chances of any opponent knocking him down are very
minimal. This isn't as good a anti-air attack move as his Spinning
Clotheline but he can recover quicker from this though.
- [ Flying Power Bomb ] -
This is an extremely powerful move that can easily match the damage of most
level 1 supers. Zangief will run and grab his opponent and drop him/her in a
powerful flying motion. Zangief can reach 1/3 screen distance with this but
its a little slow, but when up close its practically uncounterable. This is
unblockable and the only way an opponent can escape is either by jumping or
hitting Zangief quickly while he dashes at you.
- [ Atomic Suplex ] -
Zangief delivers a major headache with this one. He will slam the opponent
two times, this is about 30% stronger than his Siberian Bear Crusher and can
be easily comboed after his J.DWN.Foward.
- [ Screw Pile Driver ] -
This is probably the strongest special move in the game. You can easily
decimate your opponent with this, but it must be used up close otherwise
Zangief will go into his "missed" pose leaving him open for attack. I
haven't found a way to combo this in yet, but its strong enough on his own
as it can easily match the damage of some level 2 supers.
- [ Banishing Flat ] -
A pretty good move if used up close because Zangief has almost no recovery
time from using this and it can eat fireballs and still hit the opponent in
fireball stun motion at the same time. Do not use this much because it has
very limited distance.
- [ Banishing Flat ] -
Basically the same as the one above except this is the motion for the
X-ISM mode.
- [ Double Knee Drop ] -
A good jump in attack that can set up Zangief's Siberian Bear Crusher
combos. However it is not dominating so try not to use it too often.
- [ Body Press ] -
An excellent jump in attack because it has more priority than his Knee Dive
and is also very powerful, but it will push the opponent too far back for
any of his special grabs to connect.
- [ Gut Crunch ] -
This move is an air attack that's a good counter to other air attacks,
though you must connect when you are really close to the opponent.
- [ Gut Crunch ] -
Much like his other move, this move can be done on the ground but he can
only do it in X-ISM mode.
- [ Headbutt ] -
It has Zangief lunging forward a bit, it has slow start up but minimal
recovery time. He can only do the air version in A-ISM mode.
-- [ Aerial Russian Slam ] --
Well this is almost as equally as damaging as his Final Atomic Buster. Level
1 has him doing a grab similar to Rose's Aura Throw, Level 2 has him doing a
piledriver which equally as damaging as most level 3 supers, and level 3 his
extremely powerful as he will doing his Siberian Bear Crusher in the air.
This should only be used while the opponent is above you and while they are
in the air because it will not pick opponents off the ground. Zangief is
left with a hefty amount of recovery time so try to be careful when using
it.
-- [ Final Atomic Buster ] --
The only problem with this move is the range. While it has tremendous
priority against most attacks, the problem is connecting with it since it
has just about as much range as his jab...or even less. Once connected,
Zangief will do a combination of his special grabs resulting in heavy
damage to the opponent. However, if Zangief misses, not only will he
lose part of all of his super guage, he will go into his miss pose and be
vulnerable to attack.

=============================================================================
Note that the combos done in this section all function on the Playstation
version of the game. However, these combos may or may not work with other
versions due to the increased number of animation on the Dreamcast, Saturn,
and Arcade versions. So if you've practiced and it still hasn't worked,
either you're not good enough or the combo simply cannot be done on another
machine besides the Playstation.
Also note, that for the GBA characters Maki, Eagle, and Yun that you may
have to reconfigure your controls to pull off some of these combos. The
combos listed here all work for all platforms unless otherwise noted.
* NOTE: While there are plenty of combos listed here, there are still many
more combos in the game. I haven't found all of them yet, but I'll
see if I have any and add them here. Feel free to send me combos.
Also note that some attacks are hard to cancel off of, especially
cancelling into regular attacks(E.G. S.Jab, S.Fierce). They take a
bit of practice to do, but most combos listed could be done with
little effort.

1. J.Jab \/ Electric Thunder
2. C.Short --> Rolling Attack/Vertical Rolling
3. J.Roundhouse \/ C.Forward --> Vertical Rolling/Rolling Attack
4. J.CU.Fierce \/ C.Forward --> Electric Thunder
This combo is tough to execute, mainly with the jump in attack, it takes
a lot of practice to time the J.Fierce to cross the opponent up. Try to
make your fierce hit as late as possible while at the same time cross up
the opponent. Remember, practice is the key!
-----
X-ISM
-----
1. J.CU.Fierce \/ C.Forward --> Electric Thunder/Ground Shave Rolling
Just like number 4 above except you can add the Ground Shave Rolling

Its an odd combo but effective, just don't hold onto the Ground Shave
Rolling, otherwise you will mess up the combo.

Universal Combos
1. S.Jab --> Cannon Spike
2. J.Roundhouse \/ S.Jab S.Short --> Cannon Spike
3. J.CU.Short \/ S.Fierce --> Cannon Spike/Spiral Arrow
The only tricky part about this combo is that you must be close to your
opponent so that she does her close fierce punch, her close fierce
punch will cancel into either attack, if her does her far fierce
animation you did the combo uncorrectly! You must cross up the opponent
with your jumping short kick to make the combo successful.
-----
X-ISM

1. J.Fierce \/ S.Forward --> Knee Bazooka
2. J.Roundhouse \/ S.FWD.Forward --> Any Super
This combo is difficult to master because you must go forward during
the middle of your charge, but then again with practice this will be
very easy to execute.
-----
V-ISM

-----
X-ISM
-----
1. S.Jab --> Senretsu Kyaku
2. J.Fierce \/ S.Fierce --> Hyaku Retsu Kyaku
You must be close to your opponent when the second fierce comes out
so she does her close fierce animation. If she does her far fierce
animation you will not be able to cancel into the Senretsu Kyaku.
3. DF.Roundhouse --> Hyaku Retsu Kyaku/Senretsu Kyaku(juggle)
4. In corner: Whirlwind Kick, S.Strong(juggle)
-----
A-ISM
-----
NOTE: All of Chun-Li's X-ISM combos work in A-ISM except for the last one
which is pretty obvious since she has no Whirlwin Kick in A-ISM.
1. DF.Roundhouse --> Tenshou Kyaku/Hazan Tenshou Kyaku/Hyaku Retsu Kyaku/
Kikousho/Senretsu Kyaku/Kikoken(juggle)
Yep, that's right. She can juggle any one of her special attacks
including any other of her regular attacks.
2. DF.Roundhouse --> Tenshou Kyaku, Any attack(juggle)
Yes you can pull off any normal attack as long as you are in distance
but you will most likely be using a super instead right?
3. J.Fierce \/ C.Short --> Hazan Tenshou Kyaku
-----
V-ISM
-----
1. Custom Combo requirement: any
In corner: Forward Tenshou Kyaku, etc.
That's it, just like Charlie's cheap combo this cannot be averted once

2. J.Short \/ Short Hyaku Retsu Kyaku
Well Chun-Li can no longer juggle the opponent with her Hyaku Retsu Kyaku
after knocking them down like she could in Street Fighter Alpha 2,
but she can still drain a lot life with this combo even if blocked.

-----
X-ISM
-----
1. Final Destruction, J.Roundhouse \/ S.Jab, S.Jab, S.Jab, etc.(juggle)
Well once you start the Final Destruction Cody goes into "Final Fight"
mode, in which he cannot block and all his regular attacks become
those street attacks in Final Fight. The J.Roundhouse will knock the
opponent up, also it does not matter what attack you use because they
are all the same kicks. On the ground just hit any other attack button
and you should juggle them. Sometimes Cody might go into his 4 hit
combo as he did in Final Fight and if he does that will completely mess
up the combo, I'm not sure exactly what to do to get this combo
accomplished, but it does work, but only until the Final Destruction
mode wears off.

NOTE: All of Cody's universal combos work in A-ISM as you can expect but
this time he can either throw in a Final Destruction of Dead End
Irony instead of his regular and special attacks.

1. S.Jab --> Air Slasher
2. C.Jab --> MAchine Gun Uppercut
3. Jab Air Slasher /\ J.Roundhouse \/ S.Jab --> Air Slasher
This works best in long distances obviously and its one of the most
sweestest looking combos you will ever see, I remember Guile being
able to do a similar combo back in the old Street Fighter days but
now Guile sucks and Dee Jay is the only one who can put two projectiles
in one combo with out the help of a Super Alpha Cancel.

1. Custom Combo Activation: (JP+SK)

will literally create a volleyball effect and bounce your opponent
around like a giant volleyball!
2. Custom Combo Activation: (JP+SK)

to pull off.

The C.Roundhouse is the set up for the combo, you can't juggle them
like you could in Street Fighter Alpha 2. After you knock your opponent
down, just hope that they are real stupid and not block as they get up.
Afterwards use your Hyakurenko and your trail images will repeat what you
do, while your trail images keeps them stunned, jump into the air and
perform a style switch and perform the double kicks, then quickly switch
and perform the Hyakurenko as you land. While the combo does not last
throughout the entire Custom Combo its safe to say that this combo is
too cool!

The hits in combo can range from 9 hits to 11 hits. This combo is quite
possibly the biggest combo in the game. It involves chain hits and a
juggle afterwards, just hit a jab after the roundhouse knocks them into

the Bushin Hassoken or the Bushin Goraikyaku.
1. J.Roundhouse \/ S.Jab --> Bushin Hassoken/Bushin Goraikyaku
2. J.Roundhouse \/ S.Short, S.Jab, S.Strong --> Bushin Hassoken/Bushin
Goraikyaku
3. J.Roundhouse \/ S.Short, S.Jab, S.Strong --> Bushin Senpuu Kyaku,
Bushin Hassoken(juggle)
This combo is simple, make sure you jump straight up while performing
the roundhouse so that he goes into the flip kick and continue the combo
from there.
4. J.Roundhouse \/ S.Short, S.Jab, S.Strong --> Level 3 Bushin Hassoken,
S.Fierce --> Bushin Izuna Drop(juggle)
This combo is just unbelievable!

-----
1. Custom Combo Activation: (JP+SK), (SP+FK)

1. ISM Plus Requirement: Alpha Combo
J.Roundhouse \/ S.Short, S.Jab, S.Forward, S.Strong, S.Fierce,

Guy is the only character who can chain in all 6 hits on the ground!

1. S.Jab --> Cannon Spike
2. J.Roundhouse \/ S.Jab --> Cannon Spike
3. J.Fierce \/ C.Jab, C.Short --> Cannon Spike

This Sniping Arrow will only combo off of her fierce.

1. S.Short --> Reverse Shaft Breaker
2. J.Fierce \/ S.Fierce --> Reverse Shaft Breaker
3. In corner: Spin Knuckle, Reverse Shaft Breaker(juggle)

This works best if you are far away from your opponent and if your
opponent is in the corner, then balance them with your Spin Dive Smasher

6. J.Forward \/ S.Jab, S.Short --> Mujin Kyaku, Mujin Kyaku(juggle)
7. Mujin Kyaku /\ Any throw(juggle)
This combo is odd, but effective. I do like how Capcom has included
throws as the number of hits in this game though, and you should get
three hits out of the combo and yes the throw counts as a hit.

X-ISM
-----
1. J.Forward \/ C.Jab, C.Short --> Shinpi Kaibyaku
2. J.Forward \/ C.Jab, C.Short --> Mujin Kyaku, Shinpi Kaibyaku(juggle)
This combo is a bit risky because some times the opponent falls too
early and that gives them enough time to counter.
3. Ressenha, Shinpi Kaibyaku(juggle)
-----
A-ISM
-----
1. J.Forward \/ C.Jab, C.Short --> Mujin Kyaku, Kouoken(juggle)
2. Level 2 Shinpi Kaibyaku, S.Jab --> Level 1 Kouoken(juggle)
This combo is a bit tricky to do, you must cancel quickly otherwise
your opponent will fall and then you cannot juggle after the jab.
-----
V-ISM

J.Forward \/ C.Jab, C.Short --> Gurenken --> Shinpi Kaibyaku
3. ISM Plus Requirement: Super Alpha Cancel
J.Forward \/ C.Strong --> Gurenken(x2) --> Kououken
Thanks to Aya Brea for amazing combo! Here is Aya's explanations:
"Jumping forward, low strong (substitute in anything you like),
Gurenken x2 then either the Palm thrust or double elbow ender -> her
kick super. You have to be kinda quick though, or they'll fall to the
ground."
"What's better with this combo than linking the kick super after her hop
kick ender is that Karin will be closer to the opponent therefore, does
more hits/damage."

3. J.CU.Forward \/ C.Short, C.Jab --> Fierce Shouryuken
4. Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku \/ S.Jab, S.Short --> Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku
This combo is a bit tricky, you must aim the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku
at the very top of the opponent's head, then land and continue the
combo on from there.
5. J.Fierce/J.Roundhouse \/ S.Fierce/S.Roundhouse --> Tatsumaki Senpuu
Kyaku/Hadouken/Shouryuken
The only trick to this combo is that your fierce or roundhouse must
be close to the opponent, this way Ken will go into his close fierce
or roundhouse animation and thus you can cancel. If your hits were
not deep enough Ken will go into his far fierce and roundhouse
animation and thus you will not be able to cancel.

you can replace his Shouryuu Reppa super with either his Shinryuken
or his Shippu Jinra Kyaku supers if you wish.
1. J.Fierce \/ C.Forward --> Level 1 Shinryuken, Level 2 Shinryuken(juggle)
This combo is pretty straight forward, the one thing you must not do
during this combo is ram the buttons to get the extra hits out during
the first Shinryuken, otherwise the opponent will fall quicker. You
can also switch the levels meaning you can start off with a level 2
Shinryuken and end with a level 1 Shinryuken instead.
2. J.Fierce \/ S.Fierce --> Level 1/Level 2 Shinryuken, Level 1/Level 2
Shouryuu Reppa(juggle)
Basically the second fierce must have Ken go into his close fierce
animation, otherwise you will not be able to cancel.

Well this isn't exactly a true combo, the Sakura Otoshi will hit multiple
times if you are in the corner.
2. J.Roundhouse \/ C.Strong --> Shunpuu Kyaku, S.Jab --> Forward Sakura

you land.

-----
V-ISM
-----
NOTE: I haven't found any true and effective combos for Zangief in V-ISM but
he has a MUCH more easier time comboing in his throws, don't worry
play him in V-ISM, turn on your Custom Combos and you will see what
I mean.

ISM Plus Combos

1. ISM Plus Requirement: Alpha Combo
J.DN.CU.Fierce \/ S.Jab, S.Strong, C.Roundhouse
=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ ISMs ] -----------------------------------
=============================================================================
- [ A-ISM ] -
This mode refers to the original Alpha style mode, you know the basics in
Alpha 2, Alpha Counters, Tech hits, 3 levels of supers, characters having at
least 2 different supers, taunt, and ground recovery. The damage guage on
this mode is average, and there is also a Guard Meter which will be
discussed later on. In this mode there is a Guard Meter underneath the life
bar and that meter's length varies upon characters. Also I found it that
this mode takes the longest to build the super meter, and I'm not sure why
people were so easily confused that X-ISM mode gained your level the
slowest. Also there are very few cancellable attacks, basically limited to
Jabs, Shorts, and Strongs.
- [ X-ISM ] -
This mode is refered to classical mode. Thus meaning all characters play
exactly like they did in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. This also goes the
same for characters who were not in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. You cannot
ground recover in this game, have Alpha cancels, and players are limited to
only one level of super. Also you cannot Taunt in this mode with the
exception of Dan and you can also air recover and tech hit as well. I don't
know why they have a Guard Meter in this mode since Super Street Fighter 2
Turbo never had a Guard Meter, but the Guard Meter in this mode for everyone
is very high and thus making it harder to Guard Crush anyone and also the
damage done in this mode is significantly higher than in other modes. Also
the Supers in this mode look exactly like a level 3 A-ISM super like for
example Ken's Shoryu Reppa is three waves instead of two waves like it was
in the original Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Also the super meter builds
significantly more quicker than in A-ISM, but less quicker than in V-ISM.
Also you have more cancelable attacks, like Ryu can go from a crouching
fierce into a Hadoukenm unlike him in A-ISM version.
- [ V-ISM ] -
This mode allows the character to perform custom combos, basically having
a character with increase speed(but decreased strength) and allowing him or
her to chain in virtually any attacks in any patterns. However, unlike
Alpha 2, you cannot throw out more than 2 projectiles at once. Custom
combos last for up to 7 seconds and you can infinitely juggle your opponent
but unless you're using a special grab, chances are...your attacks will
only do a few pixels to one pixel of damage per attack. In V-ISM however,
your defense is higher than that of other modes but your attack power is
weaker, also certain moves can only be done in this mode as well.
---- [ Bonus Modes ] ----
Well these are modes that can be combined with any other ISM modes. There
really isn't anything special about these modes except for Classical which
will be discussed below. These modes can either hamper or improve your
performance.
- [ Normal Mode ] -
This is the default game mode.
- [ Mazi Mode ] -
More like a double edged sword, this mode will boost your attack power
signifcantly but your defense takes a deep plunge. Not only that, your
guard meter is brought down quicker as well.
- [ Saikyou Mode ] -
This mode is a little odd. This will decrease your Guard Meter defense power
making it easier for opponents to Guard Crush you. So if you were to block
attacks it'll probably take a few seconds for the opponent to Guard Crush
you! Also this is a weaker version of Mazi mode but is stronger than X-ISM
mode alone. Also I found it extremely hard to cancel in this mode and I'm
not sure if you can even cancel, so it is questionable whether I was having
a bad controller day or something. Also this mode is a bit stronger than X-
ISM mode alone meaning that your damage is little lower than than Mazi mode
and your defense is higher than X-ISM mode alone, but in X-ISM mode alone
your attack power is weaker but your defense is higher, see what I mean?
Well to clarify things up here goes the nifty chart I made:
- [ Rank(Power) ] -
1.Mazi+X-ISM
2.Saikyou+X-ISM
3.Normal+X-ISM
- [ Rank(Defense) ] -
1.Normal+X-ISM
2.Saikyou+X-ISM
3.Mazi+X-ISM
NOTE: 1 means its the strongest defense or attack power and 3 means its at the
bottom. I'm only using this to refer to X-ISM mode though.
- [ Classical Mode ] -
This was the special mode I was referring to. This mode is more like the
Super Street Fighter 2 type of play that was on the SNES and GENESIS if you
all remember those good old memories. Sometimes your characters attacks may
differ from Alpha mode because it refers back to before the Alpha series
ever came out. In this mode, you are also given no super meter and no guard
meter. Your attacks are a bit stronger than from X-ISM mode, but your
defense is also weaker.
=============================================================================
------------------------------ [ Game Engine ] ------------------------------
=============================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blocking: B(while being attacked) Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is your basic defense strategy. You probably won't win much battles
without blocking so just block! Although you are blocking you can still
recieve minimal damage from special move attacks and Super combos, and no
damage from regular attacks. Just be warned throws are unblockable as well
as other certain moves. You cannot block overhead hits or jumping attacks by
blocking low but you can block these certain attacks by blocking high. Also
you cannot block knockdowns or other low attacks, but you can block these
attacks by blocking low. Also you will always be in proximity blocking mode
which means you can actually move before the projectile hits you, instead of
standing in your block stance long before an attack or projectile hits you
like in previous SF games(Street Fighter 2, etc.).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air Blocking: B(while being attacked in the air) Mode: V-ISM and A-ISM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you jump in you might not always want to attack because of the high
priority of your opponent's anti-air attacks. Thus you can jump in while
blocking. However you sometimes cannot block anti-air supers for some
reasons, I don't know. Also launchers are un-airblockable like Ryu's
Crouching Fierce or Chun-Li's Standing Roundhouse.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alpha Counter: F+P+K(same strength) Mode: V-ISM and A-ISM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you are blocking an attack you can counter attack while either
consuming one level of your Super Meter or 50% of your Custom Combo guage.
This is an extremely quick attack and most likely your opponent will not be
able to block it. They should have made it B,DB,D+P or K like in Street
Fighter Alpha 2, but I guess they thought that the Alpha counter was done by
accident too often. Each character has a certain Alpha counter in each of
the two modes, and its up to you to find out when to use each counter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taunt: Select Mode: A-ISM, V-ISM, X-ISM(Dan only)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taunts in the game are by no means meant to give you the upper hand in
battle. They're mainly used to tease the opponent. Use it at your own
risk. Note that only Dan is able to taunt in X-Ism.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guard Meter: (under life bar) Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is new to the Alpha series, and you will see a small guage under your
character's life bar. This is known as the Guard Meter(I actually hate this
idea) and it will slowly decrease as you take a hit while blocking, and the
max amount will decease by one bar if you happen to use an Alpha counter. If
your Guard Meter goes down to 0 your character is then "Guard Crushed"
meaning that the opponent is dizzy until his or her Guard Meter guage
refills. Also if you take serveral hits and then avoid contact with the
opponent your Guard Meter guage will slowly regenerate itself. Also try to
stay away from opponents if they are on V-ISM mode because it is known to
hack away at that Guard Meter real quickly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throw: B or F+2P or 2K Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You use throws, you must be close to your opponent. Note that all characters
have air throws, but if you miss with your throw, your character will be
stuck in their "miss" animation for a short while.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tech Hit: B or F+2P or 2K(after thrown) Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If an opponent throws you you can cut the damage in half by performing the
same motion as a throw to cut damage in half and the character will flip
into an upright position and be able to air block or ground block. Grabs
like Ken's knee bash the damage can be reduced completely if you anticipate
it before it happens. This goes the same for all throws and grabs, you must
perform the motion the instant you are thrown or a split second after you
are thrown otherwise you will take the full effect of the throw.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reversal: Special move after knockdown/blocked attack Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This move can be done by anybody with any move as long as the move is a
special attack like a Dragon Punch or a projectile or even a super. For
example, when Charlie is knocked down he can still charge for his Somersault
Kick, as Charlie gets up he can immediately press U+K and the opponent
cannot counter unless the opponent is blocking. Even Ryu can perform his
Dragon Punch motion in advance while he is knocked down. Also after you have
blocked any one of an opponent's attack you must perform a special attack
immediately, this is what I call the "2nd Alpha Counter." Only special moves
are quick enough to counter before an opponent even recovers from a Jab.
This is a much better use than the normal Alpha Counter because you do not
need to consume one level of Super or 50% of your Custom Combo guage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ground Reverse: 2K(after knockdown or before it) Mode: A-ISM and V-ISM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use this whenever you are knocked down or when you can anticipate
it. Your character will roll to safety and avoid being attacked when you get
up. You can sometimes cross the opponent with this move sometimes and have
the upperhand in some battles also you can use this after a throw knocks you
down, like Chun-Li's ground throw.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guard Crush: Continous blocked attacks Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this being new to the Alpha series, it takes away all the pride and joy
of being a turtler. When you continuosly block an attack you take Guard
Meter damage, when your Guard Meter empties out you are momentarily stunned
for about a second while falshing blue. Afterwards one block of your Guard
Meter is permanently down until the next round or battle. However the
opponent can only knock down the Guard Meter until he or she has one block
left, which makes it hazardous to block attacks. Also when your in Classical
mode you don't have a Guard Meter, so you can block all you want and also
when your fighting against two opponents at the same time like against Juni
and Juli.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guard Crush Advance: Block just prior to attack Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right before an opponent attacks you block, so that your Guard Meter will
not be reduced. But often this proves fatal due to the fact that its hard to
instantaneously block most supers, since supers come out so fast. But I
myself have had trouble doing this sometimes because I'll always get hit
before I block, so its better off you try to avoid being attacked instead.
If you have done this correctly your character will flash blue.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damage Escape: Ram buttons and shake control pad Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can reduce the damage of attacks if you 'go crazy' on the controller.
While the damage reduced isn't really too favorable, chances are, it'll
save you from defeat once in a while. Your character will flash red if you
successfully performed the move.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Counter Hit: Attack before/after opponent attacks Mode: All Modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well basically if you hit an opponent before they begin their attack you
will recieve a message "counter hit." If you counter hit an opponent you
will cause twice the damage that move normally would. Also Counter hits
happen very often in a game even if you don't intend to do so. Also if you
counter hit each other or if you or the opponent performs the counter hit to
late you will both suffer twice the damage that move would normally would.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air Escape: F or B+2P or 2K after being launched Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still don't know why they have this here either. Once your knocked into
the air you should stay their until the opponent attacks you or if the
opponent just lets you go. This is sorta like a Tech Hit, but it is only
done in the air, after you have been launched by certain attacks do the
throw motion and your character will flip out of his or her stun animation
and be ready to perform a counter attack or just block before the opponent
can continue to juggle the opponent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variation: P+K(of same strength) Mode: V-ISM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Custom combos have really taken a back seat since Alpha 2. Once initiated
your character will have a series of shadows follow them(they also count
for hits) and depending on the strength of the buttons used...your
character's shadow will delay its attack. You can pretty much juggle your
opponent infinitely during this sequence but note that the amount of
projectiles you can throw out is limited to just 2-3. Your character cannot
block during the custom combo but unlike Alpha 2, he or she can turn
around. You can begin to use custom combos at 50%.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Combos: Special Motion+P or K Mode: X-ISM and A-ISM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These attacks drain your super meter(the guage at the bottom of the screen)
and you can vary the amount that is drained as well as the strength of the
super depending on the strength of the punch or kick used in the attack.
In X-Ism however, your character will only be given one super.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juggle: Continous attack Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically a form of a combo, as you attack sometimes you will get your
opponent in the air...and assuming they don't pull off an escape, you can
attack them again as they come back down. Note however that often at times
you are limited to a set amount of consecutive juggle attacks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launchers: Normal move anti-air attack Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launchers in this game cannot be blocked and can only be done if you attack
your opponent of the air. Usually these 'launchers' are the stronger punches
and kicks. You can add a juggle combo afterwards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Projectile strength: Fireball move that travels Mode: All modes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The strength of your projectiles depends on distance, the closer you are the
more damage it will do. Far opponents taking the effects of a projectile
won't take much damage, this is probably Capcom's response to the 'keep-
away' tactics employed by so many before.

select your win pose.
- Then in that mode that you have selected defeat your opponent.
- Immediately when you have knocked out your opponent(in can be between
rounds) hold the select button.
- When you hold down the select button hit any other attack button you
wish to see the win pose for.
Below is a list of all 36 characters in the game, all these characters
will include a listing of what win poses each character has depending on

and explodes on them!(What a funny guy!)

at least 350 lbs instead. However, these are Capcom's official bios
and not mines. Also, the bios for Shin Akuma, Evil Ryu, Classic Balrog,
and Final Bison are all the same for their equal counterparts.

=============================================================================
---------------------------- [ Misscellaneous ] -----------------------------
=============================================================================
In this section below are just small tidbits of info in Street Fighter Alpha
3 that I've picked up myself as well as various sources that have spread by
the mouth.
- Acquiring Shin Bison can be done by using the Gameshark, the code can be
found at the highly resourceful www.cmgsccc.com - Shin Bison is enhanced
with a stronger fierce attack and his 'super' Psycho Crusher attack.
- There are 'Shadowloo-ism' type characters in the game, but you cannot use
them unless you have a Gameshark 2.4 or above. These characters are mainly
the boss characters like Sagat or Vega and can use pretty much any super
they wish in 'X-ism' mode, doing more damage than they normally do as well
as taking less damage from attacks.
- 'Evil' Sakura is not in the game.
- Shin Akuma's ending is exactly the same as Akuma's, as is his storyline.
- The manual in the U.S. version(Street Fighter Alpha 3) has mistakenly put
Bison's official move names with Juni's movelist. Her Cannon Spike is
placed as "Psycho Shot" and her Spiral Arrow is placed as "Psycho Crusher."
- I think Chun-Li is the only character in the game with two alternate fight
screen pictures. What I'm talking about is that in the top left and right
corners of the screen during every battle is a small portrait of the
character. Chun-Li's X-ISM picture is different than her A-ISM and V-ISM
portrait.
- The characters T.Hawk and Dee Jay carry their old Street Fighter moves list
names. You can see their bios in arcade mode, instead of the Mexican
Typhoon T.Hawk's name for that is the Storm Hammer, exactly like it was in
Super Street Fighter 2. That goes the same for Dee Jay, so instead of
Machine Gun Uppercut its called a Hyper Fist in his bio. Intentional or
not, that's for Capcom to decide.
- What really are the official names for the characters' move lists in the
game? I mean I saw the bio for R.Mika and it said Daydream Slam instead of
Daydream Headlock along with other different moves other than listed in the
manual.
- I wonder, is it just me or is it that if Cammy is supposedly a clone,
wouldn't she have the same blood type as Bison? I mean I'm no geneticist,
but I think if you were to clone somebody they would have the same blood
type. I could be wrong though.
- The US box has a screenshot of Street Fighter Zero 3 on the back, the one
where Dee Jay is shown attacking Sodom. The "Z-ISM" is a clear indication
of that.
- In the GBA version, when Maki performs her special throws, you can hear
Sagat like grunts that goes along with her throws. It's probably just a
minor error.
