INTRODUCTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Before anything else, I'd like to thank Kao Megura for giving me permission
to use his 2000 guide as a reference and Vincent Chua (webmaster of KOF
Online) for letting me use his own lists where I was still unsure. Kao's
guide was really helpful since this is my first full movelist and I had
trouble translating certain move names. And thanks, Vincent, for letting
me check with your own movelists when I had doubts about the vailidity of
my info.
Other people who deserve a lot of credits: CJayC for being such an
understanding guy (if it wasn't for him, I would have scrapped this FAQ),
Professor Henry Moriary for allowing me to take whatever info I could find
on his website and the KOF 2001 Official Homepage where I got most of the
things found here.
A lot of thanks also go out to Jeffrey who runs an online Japanese to
English dictionary <
http://www.linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/>. This guide
would never have been possible without his dictionary for the simple
reason that I do not speak Japanese. I know a lot of words but I am not
really fluent with the language. -_-
Furthermore, most of the information here such as profiles, bios and other
stuff has been compiled by myself from the internet as well as other
sources such as guides, etc. All of these sources have been fully credited
in the "Credits" section as well as other players who stepped up and
contributed to this guide in any way. Thanks to all those guys who sent
in notes and pointed out my mistakes!

1.C TERMINOLOGY
=============================================================================
1.C.1 NEW FEATURES
=============================================================================
<---Team Set-up------------------------------------------------------------->
2001 is a huge change from 2000 which was already a _giant_ leap over '99.
The biggest change concerns without doubt the team set-ups where you can
now choose how many characters you'll control. In 2000, you could only set
a team of 3 characters and 1 striker. In 2001, you can have anywhere between
0 and 3 strikers which also means that you can have between 1 and 4 characters.
Well, as a matter of fact, The King of Fighters 2001 is a change over any
other KOF title as it abolishes the basic 3 player-teams.
Once you've picked your characters, you'll come to a screen where you have
to choose who will be the fighters and strikers.
There are 4 possible team set-ups: *4 characters and no striker
*3 characters and 1 striker
*2 characters and 2 strikers
*1 character and 3 strikers
The same screen comes up before each subsequent battle and asks you if you
want to keep the same set-up or if you'd prefer to change it.
The type of team you chose will affect other game aspects like the power
bars and how to call the strikers.
For information on how the power bars change, consult the "Power Stock"
section.
For information on how to pick whether a character will be a fighter or
a striker, consult the "Fighter or Striker" section.
For information on how to call the strikers, consult the "Striker System"
section.
Besides these gameplay changes, the team set-up also influences other
aspects of the game. The more characters you use, the more vulnerable
they are. By this, I mean that your characters will take more damage for
the same attacks if you are using say a 4-0 team.
Let's say you have a team of 2 characters and 2 strikers. Your opponent is
K' and he performs his Crow Bites. Your character will lose some life.
Now, if K' uses the same attack against a character in a 3 characters - 1
striker team, that character will lose more life although it is just the
same attack.
Similarly, a character from a 1 character - 3 strikers team will lose less
life from the Crow Bites simply because as he's fighting alone, his defense
is better.
Thus, the more characters you use, the more damage they take from attacks.
This is a nice idea because otherwise, the game would really be too cheap
and all challengers would go for a 4-character team...Without forgetting
that we would see a lot of black eyes around! ^_^
Another change concerns the length of the power gauge itself. The more
fighters you choose, the longer will be the power gauge and it will take
more time for you to get one stock.
Anyway, it is your choice as to what type of team you want to use. Of course,
3-1 seems the best one but I can assure that's not false and it entirely
depends on how good you are with a certain character. Believe me, a 1-3
Iori or Blue Mary in the hands of an expert is the worst thing you could
ever face. To make things short, stop e-mailing me to ask what type of team
you should play with.
<---Power Stocks------------------------------------------------------------>
The number of power stocks you can store now depend on how many characters
you chose.
Here's a chart of how this will vary:
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
| TEAM SET-UP | No. OF POWER STOCKS |
|------------------------------|-------------------------|
| 1 character + 3 strikers | 4 power stocks |
|------------------------------|-------------------------|
| 2 characters + 2 strikers | 3 power stocks |
|------------------------------|-------------------------|
| 3 characters + 1 striker | 2 power stocks |
|------------------------------|-------------------------|
| 4 characters | 1 power stock |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As you can see, playing with 4 characters does have its drawbacks. Since
you get only 1 power stock for the 4 characters, you do not have the
possibility to pull SDM's.
The power bar for a 4 characters-team is about 6 striker icons (from 2000)
long for those who might be interested to know. [Thanks to Greg for this
nice info.] And yes, it take one hell of a time to get full.
<---Fighter or Striker------------------------------------------------------>
Here's how to determine how a character will be a fighter or a striker as
per your needs. Once you have made your selection from the cast, you'll
come up to the team set-up screen.
Next, highlight any character you want to. By pressing UP while a character
is highlighted, the latter becomes a fighter. By pressing DOWN, he/she is
a striker. Keep pressing the UP and DOWN directions as you need to when
setting your team.
There are a few points you need to keep in mind while choosing between
fighters and strikers. Firstly, there are only 3 slots reserved for strikers
as I've already mentioned previously. Thus, if you have put the first 3
characters as strikers, the fourth one automatically becomes a fighter.
You don't have to press UP in this case since it'll already point towards
the given slot.
Secondly, the order with which you highlighted the characters and hence
placed them as strikers determines in which order they appear during
gameplay (as seen on the pics on your character's side). The first character
selected at the screen becomes Striker 1 and so on.
For information on how each striker is called, consult the "Striker System"
section.
<---Super Cancel Moves------------------------------------------------------>
The Counter and Armor modes have disappeared to give way to the Super
Cancel Moves (also known as the Super Attack Cancel feature). Basically,
your players can cancel some moves into (S)DM's. To be able to so,
they need to have a power stock. That stock will be used as they cancel
the move.
In some cases, certain desperation moves or super desperation moves can
only be performed through the Super Attack Cancel. They cannot be pulled
alone.
(Basically, this is just like the Counter Mode of '99 and 2000! In most
cases, those same moves that could be cancelled in Counter Mode are now
Super Cancel Moves.)
<---Striker System---------------------------------------------------------->
There are no striker bombs in 2001. Instead, calling a striker now costs
one power stock.
However, since you can have up to 3 strikers, calling them is no longer
so easy. For teams with more than 1 striker, you need to press a direction
along with BC to call them. By pressing that direction, you are actually
choosing one striker out of those available. The commands for each
set-up is as follows:
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
| No. of strikers | Buttons pressed to call one striker |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| 1 striker | BC |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| 2 strikers | For 1st striker: BC or f + BC or d + BC |
| | For 2nd striker: b + BC |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| 3 strikers | For 1st striker: BC |
| | For 2nd striker: f + BC or d + BC |
| | For 3rd striker: b + BC |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
To call more than one striker at nearly the same time, you just need to
quickly press the appropriate combinations but note that they don't
really jump in at the same time, it just looks as if the second one comes
in as the first is finishing his action. It is however possible to call
strikers during certain special moves such that you can then have more
than 1 on-screen. You'll have to try out and see which combinations
actually work.
Moreover, in combos that use more than one striker, the second and
third ones will deal more damage. However, getting to use all three
strikers in the same combo can be quite tedious (not to mention that
you first have to see if that combo does work) but it's relatively
easy with two strikers. The third striker can however deal mega-damage
if pulled right but note that this effect isn't observed with everybody.
As a note to those who use emulators and can access Long, Krizalid and
Gorgon, these can be called consecutively with no lag whatsoever, as Zero
will surely be very happy to show you when you meet him.
<---Cancel Striker---------------------------------------------------------->
The Cancel Striker feature is possible with any striker in any team
set-up. This features implies using the same striker over and over again
and to make him attack the opponent continuously, giving you time to place
in more hits.
In order to use this Cancel Striker feature, you need to meet certain
requirements. Firstly, the opponent needs to be on the ground as you cancel
your striker. Secondly, you need to have at least one power stock. Each
time you cancel one striker, you lose a power stock.
Obviously, this system is very balanced since the number of power stocks
vary with the number of strikers you use.
<---Wire Damage Attack------------------------------------------------------>
The Wire Damage Attacks are certain attacks that have the effect of causing
your opponent to rebound on the egde of the screen upon being hit. You
can then add more hits as the latter rebounds (kinda like in GGX). This is
a new feature to KOF.
Each character has at least one move that can be a Wire Damage Attack.
Moreover, there are 2 distinct types of Wire Attacks which can be observed
under different conditions: (i) The Critical Wire Attack; (ii) The Counter
Wire Attack.
Scroll down for a description of both!
<---Critical Wire Attack---------------------------------------------------->
This is the basic Wire Damage Attack. Upon being hit by the move, your
opponent will be sent flying towards the end of the screen and he'll
rebound after hitting it. When the opponent blocks a Critical Wire Attack,
he'll always be guard crushed. You can add additional moves, even (super)
desperation moves, once the opponent rebounds.
<---Counter Wire Attack----------------------------------------------------->
I guess this one is rather easy to guess! A Counter Wire Attack occurs when
you use that attack as a counter. The only difference is that the given
move must hit as a counter for the effect to be observed. What happens
afterwards is same as in Critical Wire Attack.
=============================================================================
1.C.2 OLDER FEATURES
=============================================================================
<---Desperation Moves------------------------------------------------------->
Desperation moves (DM) are powerful moves and in order to pull those, you
need to have one power stock. Once you have a power stock, this is stored
and you may pull your desperation move whenever you want. Each character
has between 1 and 3 desperation moves. Most desperation moves can be used
in combos.
<---Super Desperation Moves------------------------------------------------->
These are moves which are even more poweful than DMs. You need to have 2
power stocks to be able to pull one super desperation move (SDM) unless
stated. In most cases, a character's SDM is just a stronger version of one
of his DM's but some characters have all-new SDM's. Most of them can be used
in combos.
In most cases where a SDM is the stronger version of a DM, the SDM is
pulled by doing the same command but by pressing both punch or kick buttons
as required.
Eg. Terry's DM is the Power Geyser (qcb,db,f + P).
His SDM Power Geyser is performed thus: qcb,db,f + AC.
There are some exceptions though, such as Ryo's Ryuuko Ranbu.
While in the past, even SDMs had simple commands (as in Garou and the usual
qcf,qcf thingies), KOF 2001 is a drastic change (Eolith era?). There are now
SDMs which are performed à la Street Fighter and some unique ones which
you'll notice as you scroll down the movelists.
<---Guard Crush------------------------------------------------------------->
A guard crush occurs when you block too many attacks in quick succession.
When this happens, the next hit will break your guard and you won't be able
to block the following hit whether it is a normal attack or a desperation
move. You are thus vulnerable to anything and can't do anything about it.
Some special moves or (super) desperation moves have guard crush capabilities
when they are blocked. This means that if your opponent is quick enough, he
can throw in some hits that will connect after that move.
From what I have understood through '98 mostly, guard crush isn't a random
process but is actually predetermined. All the characters are given a fixed
amount of guard points. As you block successive attacks, these points will
steadily decrease. Once the points reach 0, the next attack will cause guard
crush. After one guard crush is observed, the points are restored.
<---Counters---------------------------------------------------------------->
A counter occurs when you manage to hit the opponent just as he attacks
you and vice-versa, of course. The one whose attack beats the other will
get a counterhit. This enables that character to recover faster than he
would normally do and the move does more damage.
Some moves will also only work as counters and do their maximum damage in
these situations. Otherwise, these counter moves are pretty much useless
if you use them as normal attacks.
Note that, unlike in previous KOF's, the word "COUNTER" no longer flashes on
the screen to let you know it connected. The screen will just flash quickly
and that's all there is to it. You'll thus have to pay proper attention,
specially if that move is a Counter Wire Attack.
<---Reversals--------------------------------------------------------------->
A reversal is a move that will hit only when the opponent attacks you.
Otherwise, the character may do the animation but it doesn't hit. Let's
say you performed your reversal. Your character will either go into that
move's stance or perform any other animation. If the opponent tries to
attack you during this time, you'll take no damage and instead, you'll
then attack your opponent.
Note that depending on the reversal, not all moves can be reversed. Some
will work only against low attacks while others may function only against
high attacks. Of course, a few will block any type of attack.
<---Auto-guard-------------------------------------------------------------->
Some characters have moves which have auto-guard. This can be observed during
a certain part of the move or during the whole move itself. This means that
if you try to attack that character while he's performing a move blessed
with auto-guard, the attack will be blocked and moreover, the opponent will
still perform his own action.
<---Knock-down attacks------------------------------------------------------>
A knock-down attack is one that will knock an opponent down if it connects.
Most knock-down attacks have terrible lag time and recovery. All heavy
attacks, whether standing or jumping, are knock-down attacks.
<---Overheads--------------------------------------------------------------->
Overheads are moves that hit high. Thus, you'll need to stand block to avoid
those. If you crouch-block, it'll still connect. Most overheads are also
knock-down attacks and cancellable moves. When cancelled, the moves no longer
act as overheads and their recovery times are dramatically reduced although
there are certain exceptions.
<---Roll/Evade-------------------------------------------------------------->
Note that the range of the rolls in KOF 2001 has been reduced by about 1/5
compared to 2000. The rolls also have more recovery time which means you
are quite vulnerable as your fighter gets up.
Otherwise, the command for the rolls haven't changed: b / f + AB.
<---Taunting---------------------------------------------------------------->
Pressing Start allows you to taunt the opponent. Taunts don't affect anything,
they're just present to add insult to injury. You can get out of taunts
very easily. Just walk out of it or pull a move.
<---Shortcut motions-------------------------------------------------------->
As usual, it is possible to use shortcut motions instead of the full ones if
you are having problems performing certain moves. As an example, you can just
do qcb,f + P for Terry's Power Geyser and so on. This also makes combos
easier if you're relatively new to KOF.
<---Roulette---------------------------------------------------------------->
You can randomly select your team by using the Roulette square as in the
previous editions. If you want all your characters to be randomly chosen,
move your cursor to the box without selecting anybody and all of them will
be randomly determined. If, however, you want to have a certain number of
fixed characters and the rest to change between each match, all you have
to do is to choose those you want fixed and once you're done, move over to
the Roulette and confirm your choice.
Once you're done here, you can then determine whether a character will be
a fighter or a striker as the Team Set-up screen. Note that the Roulette
doesn't affect this in any case, the team set-up is your choice.
When you make selections through the Roulette, these will change before
each match as they are randomly sorted out. Of course, it is possible to
have the same characters you got previously come up again though.
<---Continue Service-------------------------------------------------------->
Upon losing, you will get the Continue Service. A timer goes down from 9.99
seconds and by inserting another token in the cabinet to get an additional
credit, you can continue your game. Continuing your game makes you start
as from where you lost without having to fight all the teams again but it
also provides you with a determining factor which makes the ensuing battle
easier.
After pressing Start at the Continue screen, you will reach a menu with
4 options as follows:
*CPU'S ENERGY AT 1/3 - Opponent's lifebar is only 1/3 full, this affects
all the fighters of the CPU team.
*POWER GAUGE MAX - All your fighters start with a full power gauge,
regardless of the team set-up.
*STAMINA RECOVERY-UP - All your fighters gain in stamina and take less
damage.
*NO SERVICE - Self-explanatory, good for masochists. :)
The choice is obviously yours.
In the home version, since you get 4 credits, you can continue up to 3
times (as 1 credit is used up when you start the game). Unless you cheat
by messing with the dip switches, you have no other alternative than
to start from scratch again once you have wasted all your credits. Or if
you have the N*G memory card, just save your game and try again later.
=============================================================================
2. MOVELISTS
=============================================================================
Here are the movelists for the characters. The top part consists of that
character's bio. The movelist is then actually divided into 5 parts: Throws,
Command Attacks, Special Moves, Desperation Moves and Super Desperation
Moves. Underneath, I have also put some notes such as overhead moves, Super
Cancel Moves, Critical/Counter Wire Attacks and any other info that I judged
necessary. If you think that I have omitted some important info, just let
me know and I'll add it in an update. In cases where no Critical/Counter
Wire Attacks are listed, it simply means that character doesn't have such
moves.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attacks: One Inch, Second Shell.
- Super Cancel Moves: (C) Crow Bites (second hit only), Narrow Spike.
- The One Inch is an overhead attack. It also knocks down the opponent.
- The Knee Asault is also an overhead attack. You can cancel it into the
Minute Spike (normal move).
- The Blackout is a teleport move.
- The Minute Spike can act as cross-over if you perform it high enough.
- The Narrow Spike can only be pulled via the ground Minute Spike.
- When fully delayed, the Heat Drive becomes unblockable. It takes about
5 seconds to become fully charged.
- When you perform the Chain Drive, K' takes his glasses and throws them
at the opponent. The glasses need to hit the opponent for the rest of
the DM to connect. However, if the opponent blocks, K' will still rush
forward but and attempt to attack. If the opponent remains blocking, he'll
stop after the first hit.
- According to AnotherGamer, the (A) Iron Trigger _always_ knocks down such
that the follow-ups will knock the opponent higher up. In other words, more
moves may connect.
- According to |rOmz|, the (A) Heat Drive will fail to connect when both K'
and his opponent are at the extreme corner. However, holding the DM fully
makes it connect. Weird...

- The Mongolian is an overhead. You need to have cancelled into in first
if you want to follow with a special move or a (S)DM.
- The Vapour Cannon has auto-guard.
- The Dangerous Arch is unblockable.
- If you execute the Centon Press too fast, it will miss and will leave
Maxima open for anything because of the ulrta-lame recovery.
- The Bunker Buster has auto-guard during the opening animation
before Maxima goes up and after Maxima has come down, while he appears
to be in the background. The button pressed determines where he'll land
with (A) version making him land in front of the enemy while the (C)
version will have Maxima land behind the opponent and can thus be used
as a cross-up.
- The Maxima Revenger is unblockable. Watch out for the recovery time if
you miss though.
- According to Toxic, many of Maxima's moves have auto-guard (as usual)
and these are: the Mongolian, his far standing C, close standing C,
crouching C, close standing D, his heavy attack (CD).

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Boomerang Shot "Code: SC".
- Counter Wire Attack: jump CD.
- Super Cancel Moves: Boomerang Shot, String Shots (except Type D, first
hit only).
- You can stop the Whip Shot after any hit.
- Whip can hit the opponent as she goes up and when she comes down during
the Assassin Strike. The button you pressed determines the range of the
move, i.e. where she'll land.
- Her crouching A will hit downed opponents too. Use it after a throw.
It can also hit after the Strings Shot Type A "Code: Yuuetsu".
- Note that the Assassin Strike "Code: BB" ends with a taunt which can be
cancelled into a special move or her (S)DM.
- According to Penguin, Whip's Desert Eagle now deals some damage. Moreover,
you can reload the gun after the 8 shots by inputting b,f,df + P again. As
usual, the Desert Eagle will also hit any downed opponent. Best used after
a throw.
- Still concerning the Desert Eagle, |rOmz| pointed out that, although the
gun can be fired 8 times, around 3 shots will connect and the following
ones will miss.
- The Strings Shot Type C "Code: Shouri" will connect against grounded
opponents too as the whip slashes out.

Hizoku Ougi Ranbu Dokugi qcb,hcf + AC
Hizoku Ougi Senshuu: Rakansatsu d,d,d + AC
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: (A) Tetsuzan-bu Rasatsu, (C) Kasumi (third hit).
[In order to get the (C) Kasumi as a Counter Wire Attack, only the third
hit must connect as a counter. The first 2 hits must either be blocked
or blatantly miss.]
- Super Cancel Move: (C) Tetsuzan-bu: Rasatsu (first and second hits).
- Lin's Dakai is an overhead.
- The Benkatsu Ken is always an overhead, even when you cancel into it.
- The Higi Hakkyoku Ken: Dakai can hit a grounded opponent.
- The (D) version of the Hiten Kyaku will juggle the opponent (combo-starter)
while the (B) versions knocks the opponent down.
- The Hike Kyaku is a teleportation move. The button pressed determines
the range.
- The button pressed during the Jato Tsuga determines where Lin will appear
again and thus, where he'll slash out. Toxic reminds me that the (D)
version is a feint; only the (A), (B) and (C) versions hit. The range
increases from A to C. Moreover, according to AnotherGamer, if Lin's hand
emerges from behind the opponent during the move, he'll stab your foe in
the back. This causes the opponent to be thrown towards Lin as in a mere
juggle.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Super Cancel Moves: 100: Shiki Oniyaki (not as follow-up), (B) 427: Shiki
Hikigane.
- The Goufu You is an overhead attack when it is used alone. If you cancel
into it from a normal move, it changes to a 2-hit attack but is no longer
an overhead. It can be cancelled into a move after only 1 hit though.
- The 88 Shiki hits low twice and must be crouch-blocked in each case.
- The Aragami and the Dokugami have auto-guard.
- It is possible to connect the Oniyaki after the (B) Hikigane since it is
a juggle. The (D) version has invincibility at the start.
- The 75 Shiki Dai is a juggle. Moves you can connect after it if you are
quick enough are the Oniyaki, the (B) R.E.D. KicK and the Orochi Nagi.
- During the SDM Orochi Nagi, Kyo's body is on fire. If the opponent touches
him while he's burning, he'll be juggled and the full 3 hits of the move
will combo in if you know when to release the button. Moreover, Kyo cannot
be hit by projectiles during this time; they will be negated as they touch
his burning body.
- The Kamukura will not connect against some crouching opponents (Choi...).
- According to Penguin, qcf + A -> hcb + P -> hcb + K makes Kyo grab grounded
opponents.

------------------------- [Super Desperation Moves] -------------------------
Heavenly Blast Flash qcf,qcf + AC
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Handou Sandan Geri.
- Counter Wire Attack: Iai Geri.
- Super Cancel Moves: (C) Shinkuu Katategoma (after second hit), (B) Handou
Sandan Geri.
- The strong Raijin Ken comes out at an angle of 45° (which thus makes it
an effective anti-air).
- Subsequently, the strong version of the Heavenly Blast Flash (DM only) too
holds the same properties.
- The Handou Sandan Geri is a follow-up. Moreover, it should be noted that
as Super Cancel Move, only the weak version allows normal comboing.
- The Flying Drill is an overhead and also a cross-over move.
- The Jackknife Kick can be cancelled into a special move or a DM/SDM.
- According to The King of Chickens Forever, the Shinkuu Katategoma will
push the opponent away after 5 hits. And this is a drawback because the
opponent will actually recover before Benimaru and can hit him. Of course,
this doesn't apply in situations where the opponent is cornered. Penguin
also pointed out that the fifth hit will knock the opponent down.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: jump CD.
- The Tama Tsubushi knocks down the opponent.
- The Zujou Barai is cancellable.
- The (A) Jiraishin is a feint.
- The Kumo Tsukami Nage hits high while the Kirikabu Gaechi hits low.
Actually, "Hit" is not the real word here since it's a grappling move
but you get the idea, right?
- The Kirikabu Gaechi makes Goro grab grounded opponents, so you can pull
it after the opponent is knocked down if you are close enough. Attacks
after which the Kiribaku Gaechi works well are his stand CD, crouch C
and the Tama Tsubushi.
- The Jigoku Gokuraku Otoshi is an unblockable (S)DM.
- The Nekko Nuki is an unblockable (S)DM.
- The Zoku Kirikabu Gaeshi and the Bukko Nuki Ura Nage/Zoku Tenchi Gaeshi
don't actually require power stocks although you see the usual light
effects when you perform them.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: Shingo Kinsei Ore Shiki: Gecchuu.
- Super Cancel Move: 212 Shiki: Kototsuki Mikansei (first hit only).
- The Goufu Kakkodake is an overhead. It may be cancelled into a special
move or a (S)DM after the second hit.
- His Gecchuu is an overhead and will counter all high attacks and
desperation moves.
- The Shingo Kick no longer knocks down a standing opponent.
- The Nie Togi now juggles only if all the 3 hits connect or if it hits
in the corner. It is also an unblockable move.
- The Kake Hourin causes guard crush when blocked. Moreover, only the SDM
enables juggles now. According to Penguin, you can even follow with
another SDM (and if you have infinite stocks, rack up those hits).
However, the DM now has greater priority and comboability.
- During the (D) 101 Shiki: Oboro Guruma Mikansei, Shingo randomy falls
on his face to make the move hit thrice. This third hit is an overhead.
- Shingo will face on his face after the last hit of the Mu Shiki (this is
Shingo for god's sake, you gotta expect things like that :)). This
animation is in fact his recovery time and does not actually connect.

the Ya Atome
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: Ura 108 Shiki: Ya Sakazuki (his striker action).
- Super Cancel Moves: Hyaku Shiki: Oniyaki (first hit only), 127 Shiki: Aoi
Hana (first and second hits only).
- Needless to say, Iori's Super Cancel Moves make him quite powerful and
plain awesome if he is the only fighter in your team. Think about it:
jump D -> stand C -> Aoi Hana -> Aoi Hana ->Oniyaki -> Ya Atome -> Yami
Barai.
- The Yumebiki can be cancelled into a move or (S)DM on any hit.
- The second hit of the Goufu In Shinigami acts as an overhead and can
be cancelled. Doing so also cancels its overhead properties.
- The Yuri Ori only hits opponents who are behind Iori as he jumps.
Consider it a cross-over move. It can also be followed with another attack
once Iori lands.
- The Kuzukaze is unblockable and also does no damage. It is only a
cross-over move and can be followed with any attack, special move or DM.
- The Yami Barai is a follow-up to the Ya Atome. Moreover, it costs only
one stock but since it's a follow-up to the DM, consider that it requires
2 power stocks.

- The Parrying Puncher has auto-guard during the opening animation. It can
be used to negate projectiles.
- Her Puncher Straight causes guard crush when blocked.

whne timed right. Same goes to the Puncher Vision.

- Counter Wire Attack: (B) Rolling Sobat.

(The Recovery must be cancelled _before_ it hits.)
- You must be fairly close to the opponent when your perform the Rolling

- The Tiger Head Spin is an unblockable (S)DM.
- According to Penguin, by holding down the C button during the Feint Step
(which is a fake move), this will enable Ramon to run back and forth.
- Still according to him, (A) Tiger Neck Chancery does significantly less
damage than the strong version. Go figure. Of course, it also has less
lag and recovery but that's still very strange.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Super Cancel Move: Gliding Buster.
- The Strike Arch is an overhead. It is cancellable into a special move
or a (super) desperation move once you cancel into it from a normal move.
- The Ground Saber can go under certain projectiles (even Ignis!) - Leona
good against the final boss, does that ring a bell? ^_^
- It is possible to combo the V-Slasher (both DM and SDM) after Leona's
jump D. Of course, you have to be quick enough for it to connect. The
X-Calibur will also connect after a jump D.
- The Earring Bakudan is no longer a juggle. It is still possible to combo
in another move if you manage to catch up with the earring before it
explodes though.
- The Heart Attack is now comboable.
- During the Heart Attack, Leona will throw an earring towards the opponent.
If you do not pull the Explosion, the earring takes 8 seconds to explode.
Even if the opponent blocks, the earring will still stick to them and will
explose after the 8 seconds or when you pull the Explosion. The only way
to prevent it from exploding is to hit Leona. Moreover, it is better to
let the earring explode once the 8 seconds have elapsed rather than to
pull the follow-up because the Explosion makes Leona takes a pose which
has a lame lag.

Baribari Vulcan Punch qcf,hcb + AC
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Galactica Phantom.
- Super Cancel Move: Gatling Attack (second hit only).
[I have received a lot of questions about Ralf's Super Cancel Move, so I'll
explain. BOTH versions of the Gatling Attack are Super Cancel Moves.
However since the (C) version normally hits the opponent further away,
it is difficult to successfully cancel it.]
- Ralf has no command attacks. He never had and I don't think he'll ever
get even one.
- The (C) Galactica Phantom has auto-guard during storing (not the first
frames though). It is also an unblockable move. One way of avoiding it
is to sweep Ralf (but that's still risky) or to throw him.
- The Ralf Kick will absorb certain projectiles.

- Super Cancel Move: Gatling Attack.
- The Napalm Stretch is effective only against air opponents. It will make
Clark throw the opponent.
- Note that the Mount Tackle does no damage by itself. This is why it is
essential to use the follow-ups if it connects.
- The Ultra Argentine Backbreaker is an unblockable (S)DM.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: stand CD.
- Super Cancel Moves: (A) Moon Slasher.
- The Shooter Narnagel is an overhead on the second kick. If you cancel into
the command move, the second hit no longers acts as an overhead and you
may cancel into a special move on any hit.
- The Cross Cutter can enable juggles.
- Tap the button during the Killing Bringer to have Heidern deal more damage.
- If you are intent of cancelling the Moon Slasher into the Final Bringer,
you need to corner the opponent to do so. Otherwise, the Final Bringer
will miss.
- The weak Killing Bringer will counter high/air moves while the strong
version will counter low moves. (The King of Chickens Forever has pointed
out that he has never succeeded to counter DMs though -_-).
- The Storm Bringer, the weak Killing Bringer and the Final Bringer will
heal Heidern by 1/2 the damage the move caused.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: Ougon no Kakato.
- Super Cancel Move: Tiger Kick (first hit only), Shijou Saikyou High Kick,
Bakuretsu finish.
- The Low Kick is cancellable into a special move or a (S)DM if you cancelled
into it beforehand.
- The Sliding hits low and needs to be crouch-blocked.
- The Bakuretsu Finish differs depending on the version. (A) version is an
elbow attack while (C) version in a flying kick.
- The Shijou Saikyou Low Kick hits low and needs to be crouch-blocked.
- Thanks to The King of Chickens Forever for pointing out that the Shijou
Saikyou High Kick ISN'T a follow-up as I had mistakenly put before.
Moreover, it deals more damage as the opponent is closer to Joe when he
pulls the move. Being so quick to come out, the DM will also hit airborne
opponents for full damage.
- Nice stuff from The King of Chickens Forever - Interesting Trivia: if you
watch the SSHK (Shijou Saikyou High Kick) DM as it connects, you'll notice
that it's actually paying homage to how the Tiger Kick looked and moved
back in Fatal Fury 1. All it needs is a tiger's face and this 'easter egg'
is complete.

Rose.]
- The Hammer Arch is an overhead. You can cancel into it but by doing so,
it is no longer an overhead but you can finish with her DMs then.
- The second hit of the Double Rolling needs to be crouch-blocked.
- The M. Head Buster counters standing attacks.
- The M. Reverse Facelock counters air attacks.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: (A) Zanretsu Ken.
- Super Cancel Moves: Kohou Shippuu Ken, Kohou.
- The Hyouchuu Wari is an overhead. You can cancel into it and it no longer
acts as an overhead. Note, however, that it isn't possible to follow-up
with another move although you have cancelled into the Hyouchuu Wari.
- The Joudan Uke counters middle and high attacks while the Gedan Uke
counters low attacks.
- The Kohou Shippuu Ken and the Tenchi Haou Ken do 2X damage off a counter.
- To pull the Ryuuko Ranbu effectively, press C quickly and then A after the
command.
- AnotherGamer pointed out that the Ryuuko Ranbu must not necessarily be
pulled close to the opponent (as I said earlier). However, performing
it from a distance almost always results in a mere far standing (since
it will override the input). To avoid this, try pulling it after a whiffed
A or B attack or after a jump.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Kyokugen-ryuu Renbu Kyaku.
- Super Cancel Moves: (C) Ryuuga, Kyokugen-ryuu Renbu Kyaku.
- The Kouryuu Koukyaku Geri is an overhead attack. It no longer acts as an
overhead when cancelled into though.
- The Ura Kobushi juggles the opponent.
- The Ryuu Hanshuu is a cancellable attack.
- The Nidan Sokutou Geri hits low and must be crouch-blocked. When used
alone, it is a knock-down attack.
- The Kyokugen-ryuu Renbu Kyaku causes guard crush on the last hit. Since
this move is also a Super Cancel, the ideal thing would be to cancel
into the Ryuuko Ranbu if the Kyokugen-ryuu Renbu Kyaku is blocked as the
(S)DM will be a sure hit!
- The Haiga Ryuu is practically the same as Yuri's Shin Shoryuken. In the
same way, you need to be fairly close to the opponent for the DM to
connect effectively. Once the backfist connect, the opponent will be
drawn in for the entire move.

Shin Yuri Satsu A,A,f,B,C
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Super Cancel Moves: Kuuga, Shin Chou Upper (cancel into Shin Yuri Satsu on
first or second hit).
- The En Yoku is an overhead. It doesn't act as an overhead if you cancel
into it.
- The Senkai Kyaku can be cancelled after the second hit.
- The winding part of the Hien Shippuu Ken can now juggle the opponent
and even combo in the real move (similar to Kyo's Orochi Nagi).
- The Hyakuretsu Binta is unblockable.
- Apparently (and then confirmed by The King of Chickens Forever), it is no
longer possible to put the Hien Senpuu Kyaku in combos because of the
recovery time. Moreover, the move now goes higher up, meaning it won't
connect against crouching opponents if you're not close enough.
- The Shin Yuri Satsu is unblockable. And it also has quite high priority.
Yuri's new SDM may also cause critical hits and if it does so, it does
2X damage.
- According to AnotherGamer, Yuri has an alternate Shin Yuri Satsu endpose
where she turns round and looks down at the opponent. This happens if
the move yields critical hits and just in case you were spare by the
SF craze, that winpose belongs to Gouki (but of course, Yuri dones't
quite have that evil look which suits Gouki so well). As a reminder, the
normal endpose is the one where Yuri does a double V-sign similar to
Zangief's original SFII winpose. Gah, too many references! :)

- The Mouko: Burai Gan is a counter but it can still hit on its own. It
will do 2X damage as a counter though.
- The Shouran Kyaku is unblockable.
- The Hien Shippuu Kyaku will juggle the opponent.

- Super Cancel Move: Kachou Sen, Ryuu Enbu.
- The Koku'en no Mai is an overhead. Once cancelled into, it no longer
acts one.
- The Sachiyo Dori can be cancelled into the Ryuu Enbu but by doing so,
the Ryuu Enbu is no longer a Super Cancel Move.
- The Benitsuru no Mai hits low and needs to be crouch-blocked.
- It is possible to cancel the Yusura Ume into the Musasabi no Mai (Kuuchuu)
if the first move is pulled alone (i.e. don't use it as a follow-up to the
Musasabi no Mai (Chijou).
- The Hou'ou no Mai does more hits against an airborne opponent.
- The Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi (both DM & SDM) does more hits as the
opponent is closer to Mai when she pulls the move.

Gasshou Hineri close to opponent, hcf,hcf + BD
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Hatakikomi.
- Super Cancel Moves: Kaburi Yori, Kateguri.
- The Kagekuri hits low and needs to be crouch-blocked.
- The start-up frames of the Yorikiri have invincibility. Hinako is safe from
throws too during this time.
- The Tsuika Otoshi has auto-guard.
- The Kaburi Yori allows Hinako to grab the opponent so she can pull another
move. So, you need to pull another special move or DM once it connects.
Otherwise, the opponent will seem to counter it and get out of it. It is
thus a Super Cancel Move (thanks to debourge eric for indirectly pointing
this out).
- Thanks to The King of Chickens Forever for pointing out that the Gasshou
Hineri (both DM & SDM) is not an unblockable attack. Also, note that
Hinako does a small jump before starting the move. According the Penguin,
Hinako will grab airborne opponents as she does so.
- The first hit of the Oo-ichiban must connect for Hinako to pull the
whole move.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Chou-Pai Long.
- Super Cancel Moves: Ekisupo, Tenpou Zan.
- The Shou Shouda is an overhead but no longer is one if you cancel into it.
You will, however, have the possibility to cancel into a special move or
a (S)DM from it.
- The Kyuuho: Kusentai can be cancelled into to make it cancellable and hits
low, meaning it must be crouch-blocked.
- The Fukuho: Kusentai also needs to be crouch-blocked.
- The (C) Nanpa juggles the opponent but it is relatively hard to follow with
another move unless the opponent is cornered.
- The Senri Chukou is an unblockable move.
- The Senri Chukou: Shisaisa is also an unblockable move.
- The Banhaku Kou'en is unblockable and makes Xiang Fei switch place with
her opponent.
- The (B) Tenpou Zan now has quicker recovery time. The King of Chickens
points out that Hinako wanna-be masters should thus use it in combos
instead of the Nanpa for obvious reasons.
- The Majinga changes when done close to opponent and in this case, it is
a powerful unblockable attack with does 100 hits for the DM and 102 hits
for the SDM.
- Concerning the Chou-Pai Long, the move does 3 hits. AC is for the first,
b,df + C for the second, and b+C for the third and last hit. This last
hit causes the Critical Wire Attack and if you fail to pull it correctly,
you won't get the CRW effect.

- The Slider Shoot hits low and must be crouch-blocked.
- If timed right, the Counter Shell will reflect regular projectiles.

Honey Bee qcf,qcf,qcf,qcf + BD
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Counter Wire Attack: jump CD.
- Super Cancel Moves: Planunium, The Silver Moon, Wood of Knowledge (any hit).
- The Seven Metals is an overhead. Once cancelled into, it becomes cancellable.
- The Honey Bee SDM is a new kind of move. If the move is blocked or just
misses, Foxy commits suicide afterwards and you'll thus lose. Don't pull
it unless you are sure it will connect. Moreover, Foxy is invulnerable
during the whole move and thus, it cannot be countered. (To be used against
a certain Ignis!)
- The Tree of Beginning hits low and needs to be crouch-blocked.
- According to Penguin, The Seven Cycles and The Seven Evaporation (notice
a pattern? :) are parrying moves and can block even desperation moves.
- According to The King of Chickens Forever, the Horn of the Unicorn has a
horrible start-up time. However, if it connects, the opponent will be
stunned for about 3 seconds which gives you enough time to combo with
something damaging.
- The follow-ups to the Poetry of Cygnus need to be pulled as Foxy dashes
towards the opponent. They will replace the move.
- Your opponent must actually block in the opposite direction when the Prayer
of the Planet is pulled or they will get hit by the wave which comes from
behind (remember Aps from FFVII?). If he is close enough to Foxy, he can
roll behind of course. In other words, don't pull the Prayer of the Planet
when she is close to the opponent.
- The last frames of Foxy's crouching B are unblockable. Check the "Bugs"
section for more in-sight on this.

------------------------- [Super Desperation Moves] -------------------------
Power is...losing control...UWAAAAH!! d,f,df + ABCD
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: his striker action.
- Super Cancel Moves: Shut Up! (first 3 hits only), Get In There!, Split!.
- You can have K9999's jump C do more hits by tapping the button as soon
as he jumps.
- K9999's close (D) is an overhead and can hit grounded opponents. Try this
for a combo: close D, D (thanks to Penguin!).
- The (A) Get In There! has very little recovery time. In fact, you can even
link the Shut Up! onto it.
- The (C) versions of Split! and Moon... have invincibility during their
start-up frames.
- K9999's crouch C knocks down the opponent (thanks to AnotherGamer for the
correction).
- According to The King of Chickens Forever, Get Lost Too! is an instant hit
long range move which hits multiple times. Use it against jumpers and it
should connect just as their feet leave the ground. You can also use it
against players who abuse projectiles (Takuma :)) since it will negate these
(but not DM projectiles.) AnotherGamer also pointed out that the move
can hit 9 times instead of the usual 5 hits. The damage is slightly bigger
when the move does 9 hits (thanks to |rOmz| for clarifying this). Which
version will come out depends on the distance between K9999 and his
opponent.
- The damage done by the Sheer Power! is bigger if the opponent is closer to
K9999 when he pulls out the move.
- It is possible to combo the Power is...losing control...UWAAAAH!! after
any of K9999's throws. UWAAAAH!!
- As everybody must know by now, K9999 purposedly looks like Tetsuo. However,
it's not just about the physical appearance. Just playing with him shows
that someone at SNK must really like Tetsuo. Anyway, make sure to look
at the Power is...losing control...UWAAAAH!!, it will clear all your
doubts about whether this was done on purpose or not.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: crouch C.
- Counter Wire Attack: Crown Under The Sky.
- The Senseless Chatter can be cancelled into a special move after the
second hit.
- The Important Symptom can hit grounded opponents.
- The Unidentified Victim Consciousness is a Counter DM. The move is
different depending on whether the attack being countered is a ground or
an air one. On ground, it is is a juggle. In the case of an air attack,
the move deals more damage.
- The Repun Kamui causes guard crush when blocked.
- The Mad Roulette is a juggle.
- The Full-Moon Evening is an unblockable move.
- Here's a brief explanation on how to use the Chain Circle Moves. If you
want to use more than one Chain Circle Moves in a combo, the next move
you pull must be opposite in type to the previous one (eg. a punch move
after a kick, etc...). The direction pressed too must oppose the previous
one. As long as you follow these rules, it is possible to pull long
chains involving all the moves. Of course, it is also possible to finish
with a DM as shown in the movelist.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Super Cancel Move: Gouen Shourai: Kai.
- The Suiho Hyoutan Shu is an overhead. Once cancelled into, it becomes
cancellable into another move but no longer acts as an overhead.
- The Hyoutan Geki may allow Chin to avoid certain projectiles. Same goes for
the Kaiten-teki Kuutotsu Ken.
- The Bougetsu Sui will make Chin lie on the ground. While in this position,
Chin cannot be hit by certain projectiles but he can still be thrown or
swept and is vulnerable to any low attacks. The Rouja Hanshou will make
Chin jump forward for an attack while the Rigyo Hanshou allows him to
roll back and avoid attacks. The opening can hit the opponent though.
Moreover, you can have Chin move about while he's lying on the ground
by pressing forward/back. It should also be noted that Chin cannot lie
down indefinitely, he'll stand up after some time.
- The Gouran Enpou makes Chin blow fire with his mouth. The weak version
goes diagonally (up) while the strong version is horizontal. Weak version
will never hit against some characters (Choi, Bao...). As SDM, it just
spreads everywhere.

- The Rikatsu Shuu can hit a downed opponent.
- Attack: Front now travels only half-screen.
- Bao can cancel his Psycho Ball Crash moves into each other.
Here are the combinations which I know off (there may be more):
* Raise -> Air Front
* Air Bound -> Reflect
* Air Bound -> Raise
* Air Bound -> Front (both Attack and Crash)
In the cases where the first move is Air Bound, you just need to perform
the next move as Bao touches the ground.
- You can perform additional hits while the Psycho Ball Attack: MAX connects.
You need to be quick though. You may even follow with the Psycho Ball
Crash: SP.
- After you perform the Psycho Ball Attack: MAX, you need to keep AC pressed
until the small projectile reaches the opponent. If you release the
buttons earlier, the projectile instantly explodes and may thus miss.

- Critical Wire Attack: Tekkyuu Dai Bousou.
[The Tekkyuu Dai Bousou is a CRW when Chang finishes it with a weak stand
kick. Don't worry, you can't miss it! According to |rOmz|, you can
even follow with DM's, and SDM's to kill the opponent right away.]
- Super Cancel Move: Tekkyuu Funsai Geki.
- The Hiki Nige hits low.
- The Tekkyuu Dai Kaiten can be cancelled by pressing ABCD.
- The wind-up of the strong Tekkyuu Funsai Geki will hit tall opponents
who try to roll behind Chang when he performs the move and he swings
his iron ball. Note that the move doesn't have auto-guard now.
- The Dai Hakai Nage is unblockable (and very damaging!).
- The Tekkyuu Taiko Uchi has 2 outcomes. The first one will make Chang
sneeze for some negligible damage but Chang is invulnerable as he sneezes.
The second one will make Chang perform a powerful Hien Zan - the Hien Zan
will be performed after 3 successful counter-attacks. (Note: Hien Zan =
see Choi)
- The Tekkyuu Dai Bousou has seven random finishing attacks: a standing
weak kick (which is his Critical Wire Attack), a forward roll, an upward
roll, a sliding attack, a Hien Zan, a slower attack where he jumps and
a standing attack where he uses his stomach to inflict damage.
- The SDM Tekkyuu Dai Assatsu will still affect an out-of-range opponent
who isn't crouch-blocking. The latter will be hit by the earthquake
which Chang causes when he lands on his belly. The whole move also has
auto-guard which makes it is extremely useful.
- Changs owns all your favorite characters for $0.00.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Super Cancel Move: Hishou Kyaku.
- The Mukuro Zuki is an overhead. Once you cancel into it, it no longer
functions as an overhead but you can put a move or a S(DM) after it.
(eg. stand C -> Mukuro Zuki -> Hou'ou Kyaku)
- The Toorima Geri is an overhead. It becomes a cancellable attack if you
cancel into it.
- You can press back or forward during the Shin! Chouzetsu Tasumaki Shinkuu
Zan to make Choi move around and trap the enemy.
- According to Penguin, holding the Zan! Saru Tsukiwa fully makes the last
additional hit become unblockable.
=============================================================================
2.J.4 MAY LEE
=============================================================================
May Lee is very different from the other characters in that she has 2 modes
of play and depending on which mode you chose, her moves change.
The 2 Modes are STANDARD and HERO modes. To change between the modes, press
ABC. You always start with STANDARD mode and can switch mode whenever you
want.
If you lose track of what mode May Lee is in, just try to block or roll.
May Lee cannot do either in Hero mode.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Godly Beast Kick.
- Super Cancel Moves: Triple Kick, Counter Kick, Three-Strike Kick: Low.
- The Flying Forward Kick is an overhead.
- The Heel Drop is an overhead.
- The TSK: Low hits low. Obviously.
- The TSK: Reverse has auto-guard during the opening animation (it is very
quick though).
- The Counter Kick works against only standing attacks. Morever, it will
juggle an opponent if it successfully counters your opponent.
- The (D) Triple Kick automatically makes May Lee switch to Hero mode.
- Only the weak version of the Reverse is comboable. Strong version takes
too much time to come out.
- By effectively using the Triple Kick, you should be able to link it
with the TSK: Heel Drop or TSK: Low. This holds for only the (B) Triple
Kick though.
- The Godly Beast Kick is a Critical Wire Attack but because of the long
recovery, it's quite difficult to follow-up after the rebound. However
it is possible to switch to Hero Mode after the last hit connects and
doing so allows you to effectively follow up since it cancels the recovery
time (thanks to both airthrow and happy feet for this). You can even
follow with her Hero Mode May Lee: Dynamic.
- May Lee doesn't have any super desperation moves while in her Standard
Mode. Refer to the Hero Mode notes for more info on how to use both modes
effectively.

---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attacks: stand CD, (C) Full Swing Chop.
- Counter Wire Attack: (A) Full Swing Chop.
- Super Cancel Moves: May Lee: Chop, May Lee: Kick.
- Extremely important note about the HERO MODE contributed by The King of
Chickens 2001: May Lee cannot block or roll in this mode (hence the name?).
- The Full Swing Chop is an overhead and causes guard crush when blocked.
- Her stand CD is her Critical Wire Attack and is unblockable. But the
attack has a slow start-up and recovery time though so you can't abuse
it. However, according to Airthrow, there's a way to use this to your
advantage. Switch back to Standard Mode once the attack connects and you'll
thus be able to follow-up. It should also be possible to perform the Hero
mode CD attack once, nullify the recovery time by going into Standard mode,
and then go back to Hero mode so you can follow-up with special moves.
- Moreover, according to happyfeet, almost all of May Lee's moves can be
chained into a mode change as long as you are quick enough to tap ABC as
that move is still hitting. The only exception to this is the (D) Counter
Kick [Standard Mode].
Here's a small example of how this works (thanks to happyfeet for this):
[Normal Mode] qcf + B (1 hit) -> hcb + B -> ABC -> d + C ->...
The first ABC will make May Lee go into Standard Mode. As d + C is a
launcher, you can follow up when it connects.
The mode change also works for normal moves.
From the example above, you can press ABC again as the d + C connects
which will bring you back to Normal Mode and follow up with other moves.
=============================================================================
2.K BOSSES
=============================================================================
2.K.1 ORIGINAL ZERO
=============================================================================
(Original Zero and Igniz movelists were compiled by AnotherGamer and The
True Warrior.)
--------------------------------- [Throws] ----------------------------------
Nage close to opponent, b or f + C/D
----------------------------- [Command Attacks] -----------------------------
Jagai Kusetsu f + A, hold (both)
------------------------------ [Special Moves] ------------------------------
Zankaze Enpa: Hankyou qcf + A
Zankaze Enpa: Satsuma qcf + C
Zankaze Enpa: Ouga f,d,df + A
Zankaze Enpa: Shouha f,d,df + C
---------------------------- [Desperation Moves] ----------------------------
Gokusa Zanjin qcf,qcf + P
Hakura Messhou qcf,qcf + K
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Striker Long (f + C).
- Counter Wire Attacks: stand CD, jump CD.
- It should be noted that Original Zero calls his strikers in a different
way. According to 'The King of Fighters 2001 Arcadia Mook', these should
be considered as real special moves but I'll be listing them here for
the purpose of this FAQ :
Krizalid : f + A
Gorgon : f + B
Long : f + C
(You can find these Mook scans at www.orochinagi.com along with some cool
artwork).
- Also note that Original Zero, being the cheap badass that he is, can
call all 3 strikers consecutively quite easily.
- Like most SNK bosses, Original Zero cannot crouch but he still has low
attacks (Igniz does not). He can however still crouch-block, as recently
pointed out by Penguin.
- The Jagai Kusetsu is an overhead. Also, since the move uses the same command
as calling Krizalid, it's hard to pull. Most of the time, Krizalid tends to
come out first and this immediately cancels the input.
- The Hakura Messhou does much more damage as the opponent is closer to
Original Zero.
- All of Zero's special moves cause guard crush when blocked.
- I suppose everybody is familiar with his favorite technique now (as CPU):
call Long and Black Hole DM. To avoid get caught in the DM, avoid or hit
Long before he performs his attack. Don't just block though, Long's
attack is unblockable. Penguin also pointed out that it is easier to
emergency evade after taking the first hit if you have a power stock.
=============================================================================
2.K.2 IGNIZ
=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [Throws] ----------------------------------
Blue Noah close to opponent, f or b + C
Red Noah close to opponent, f or b + D
------------------------------ [Special Moves] ------------------------------
Chain-Blade Trans-Axial Slice qcf + P
Chain-Blade Sagital Slice f,d,df + P
Divine Arrow: High qcb + A
Divine Arrow: Low qcb + C
Nega Genesis qcf + K
Void Genocide qcb + K
---------------------------- [Desperation Moves] ----------------------------
Idom Blade qcf,qcf + P
Chaos Tide f,d,df + K
------------------------- [Super Desperation Moves] -------------------------
Brutal God Project qcf,hcb + AC
---------------------------------- [Notes] ----------------------------------
- Critical Wire Attack: Void Genocide.
- Counter Wire Attack: Nega Genesis (first hit only).
- Super Cancel Moves: Chain-Blade Tranx-Axial Slice, Chain-Blade Sagital
Slice, Nega Genesis.
[The Chain-Blade Trans-Axial Slice is a Super Cancel Move. Moreover, Igniz
can go on cancelling the (A) version into (C) version and vice-versa. And
obviously, that's an infinite which is even cheaper if you consider how
Igniz doesn't rely on power stocks.]
- But wait, that's not all. SNK really surpassed themselves with Igniz. The
(C) Chain-Blade Trans-Axial Slice is also a juggle and Igniz can just
go on pulling this move as much as he wants. And he does like pulling it
when he's close to dying. Goenitz? Who's Goenitz?
- The Nega Genesis is a reversal.
- If the first frames of the Void Genocide miss (i.e. what causes the Critical
Wire), the last frames of the move knock the opponent down if they magically
connect (i.e. when Igniz's cape quickly sways vertically). If the whole move
is blocked, it will cause guard crush.
- The Chaos Tide will negate any projectiles.
- Like most SNK bosses, Igniz cannot crouch. What should hence be crouching
attacks are his mere normal standing counterparts.
- The Idom Blade is a juggle. You can keep on hitting the opponent with
anything except the Chaos Tide. "99-hit combo in yo face, sucka!"
Actually, the Chaos Tide too can connect after a single Idom Blade but
you cannot follow up afterwards. Obviously, the Brutal God Project too
will end any combo you attempt to perform.
- Igniz certainly has the cheapest infinites you'll ever see in a
fighter. And he doesn't even have a power gauge, which means he can pull
any of those whenever he wants (which he does if you are about to trap
him).
=============================================================================
3. MISC
=============================================================================
3.B STRIKER ACTIONS
=============================================================================
(Thanks to Penguin for sending in most of the Striker Actions.)
The striker cast in 2001 is just as in '99, i.e. each character holds one
striker. So, no more Another Strikers or Maniac Strikers; you only have your
characters coming in now (except O. Zero who is helped by 3 strikers but
since he isn't selectable...). Anyway, most of the actions are similar to
those of 2000 but there are some changes.
The list is in alphabetical order.
Character: Andy

Description: Andy hops in and performs his Zan'ei Ken. This attack can be
a real pain in the ass to avoid if you're not careful.

Description: Angel slides in and performs a Beyond The Flames attack.
Character: Athena
Striker Action: Phoenix Arrow
Description: Athena jumps in and performs her Phoenix Arrow ('94 style) and
ends with a kick which juggles the opponent. She doesn't
perform the last action (the kick) if the Phoenix Arrow misses

Psychic Attack which juggles the opponent before rolling away.

you enough time to hopefully pull a DM or whatever.
Character: Clark
Striker Action: Gatling Attack
Description: Clark jumps in with his CD attack and performs his Gatling Attack.
Character: Chang
Striker Action: Tekkyuu Dai Kourin
Description: Changs comes in with his Tekkyuu Dai Assatsu. Not much to say
about this one, his striker attack is the same as the 2000 one.
Character: Chin
Striker Action: Kaiten Hyoutan Shuu
Description: Chin comes in and takes his winning pose where he fiddles with
his sake jug. If the jug hits the opponent, the latter will be
knocked up. Go figure.
Character: Choi
Striker Action: Geketsu Tsuki
Description: Choi jumps in and attempts to throw the opponent (the one where
he goes behind him and pokes his butt :).
Character: Foxy
Striker Action: Tree of Freedom
Description: Foxy executes the Tree of Freedom and finishes with the Silver
Moon.
Character: Gorgon
Striker Action: Roar
Description: Gorgon jumps in with a claw attack and roars upon landing.
Character: Goro
Striker Action: Tenchi Gaeshi

successfully grabs the opponent, the latter will be juggled.
Character: Heidern
Striker Action: Moon Slasher

that eerie pose) before performing his Moon Slasher.
Character: Hinako
Striker Action: Teppou Hiyoko
Description: Hinako runs in and quickly performs a Tsukidashi attack.
Character: Iori
Striker Action: Ura 108 Shiki: Ya Sakazuki
Description: Iori runs in and performs his Ya Sakazuki (his other DM in '98).
The opponent is juggled as the Ya Sakuzuki connects. The Yu
Sakazuki is also a Counter Wire Attack.
Character: Joe
Striker Action: Shijou Saikyou Low Kick
Description: Joe jumps in and performs his Shijou Saikyou Low Kick before
running away..
Character: Kim Kaphwan
Striker Action: Hishou Kyaku
Description: Kim jumps in with his Hishou Kyaku and if the attack effectively
connects, he'll follow up with his KuuSaJin.
Character: Kensou
Striker Action: Sen Shippo
Description: Kensou jumps in and performs a Sen Shippo attack.
Character: King
Striker Action: Trap Rush
Description: King appears on-screen with a sliding attack and if the latter
connects, she does a move similar to the Silent Flash.
Character: Krizalid-1
Striker Action: Negative Anguish
Description: Krizalid-1 comes in and performs the Negative Anguish (qcf + C
as Krizalid in '99) which can absorb projectiles.
Character: Kula
Striker Action: Crow Bites

Striker Action: Narrow Spike

gameplay conditions. If the opponent is on the ground (standing
or crouching) when he is called, he comes in with a sliding
attack which knocks the opponent down. If the opponent is in the
air, he will jump in and perform a weak Crow Bites.
Character: K9999
Striker Action: ???
Description: K9999 jumps in with an attack before slowly walking away. The last
hit of the attack is a Critical Wire.
Character: Leona
Striker Action: Killer Touch
Description: Leona runs forward and if she hits the opponent, she will place
a bomb on the latter which juggles him upon exploding.
Character: Lin
Striker Action: Hiten Kyaku
Description: Lin jumps in with his Hirai Kyaku. He comes in with the attack
in this case -- most characters jump in, stand and then perform
their striker action but Lin just comes in with the move.
Character: Long
Striker Action: ???
Description: Long _appears_ next to the opponent and performs an unblockable
attack. Once he's finished, he'll just desintegrate. His attack
can be avoided by hitting him beforehand or by rolling back
(although this second option still presents risk as Zero always
unleashes his DM after calling Long and you'll be caught in it).
Character: Mai
Striker Action: Mizudori No Mai
Description: Mai comes in and performs her Mizudori No Mai ('98 DM).
Character: Mary
Striker Action: Rapid Spider
Description: Mary comes in with the Straight Slicer and continues with the
M. Spider which will juggle the opponent.
Character: Maxima
Striker Action: Maxima Gallows
Description: Maxima jumps in and grabs the opponent by the neck. The move
itself does very little damage but gives you enough time to
throw in a move or a (S)DM. Combos are hard to connect since
the opponent is not on the ground.

Description: May Lee runs in and performs 2-hit combo.
Character: Ralf

Power Charge and finishes with the Power Geyser. If the opponent
is far away, he only performs the Power Geyser.
Character: Vanessa
Striker Action: Hard Puncher

and if she hits the opponent, she continues with a move similar
to the Machine Gun Puncher.
Character: Whip
Striker Action: Valkyrie Shot
Description: Whip drops next to the opponent and performs her Strings Shot
Type B.
Character: Xiang Fei
Striker Action: Chou Pai-Long

gives you enough time for practically anything..
=============================================================================
3.C BUGS
=============================================================================
While all the other sections are complete now, this Bugs section has just
been added and is thus currently under construction. If you want to contribute
your own discoveries, just e-mail me and I'll add them later. Please tell
me exactly what should be done and under one conditions so I may try them
first.
KYO VS. ANGEL
(contributed by Dark Angel)
According to Dark Angel, Kyo has a new infinite which is very easy to pull
since it involves just hitting away with the 75 Shiki Dai continuously.
Apparently, the move is now such that they will keep on hitting against
Angel. It also appears that this works only against Angel -- it doesn't work
against other opponents. At least, I couldn't get it to work against the
likes of Clark or even Goro.
BAO'S CHEAP INFINITE
(contributed by Penguin)
Once the opponent is knocked down, just keep performing Bao's Rikatsu Shuu
(df + D) and there ya go. You now have an ultra easy infinite to abuse since
the move can hit downed opponents. Note however that sometimes, the opponent
can escape. This seems to work against Igniz too, I relied on it to beat
the crap out of him once.
IORI'S HOP
(contributed by |rOmz|)
- This bug has been in KOF since Iori got his Yuri Ori. To get Iori to
hop back further, tap b,b + B. What happens is that, instead of merely
jumping, Iori also do the Yuri Ori as you must already have guessed.
The nice thing about this is that the bug allows Iori to jump back
further.
FOXY'S WEAK KICKS
- As stated in the movelists, the last frames of Foxy's crouching B are
unblockable. It is also possible to make it always unblockable such
that it iwll connect against any opponent forever. To achieve this,
simply press C quickly after inputting the crouching weak kick command.
KIM VS. KULA
(contributed by Penguin)
- I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a bug but its cheapness has
convinced me to include it here. It is possible to keep pulling Kim's
Haki Kyaku (d,d + B) against Kula, thus hitting her repeatedly without
her being able to do anything against it.
=============================================================================
3.C SECRETS
=============================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHOOSE YOUR WINNING POSE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To choose your winning pose, press a button immediately after beating the
opponent and before the "You Win" mark appears. Each button gives a
specific winning pose. Not much of a secret anymore since this has been
in KOF from the beginning. I'm not sure if the special winposes can be
obtained through this cheat. I do know that Shingo now sings a new song
though. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL INTROS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As in previous KOF titles, some match-ups will yield special intros.

There are also special dialogues after specific match-ups but the list is
quite exhaustive. I'll let you find out by yourself (or you can check
the Quotes FAQ at GameFAQs).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL WINPOSES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are special poses which you get after a certain character defeats a
specific opponent. All of the special winposes have been sent in by Penguin.
- Benimaru beating any female fighter (except Xiang Fei, Angel, Foxy, May Lee)
- Shingo beating Kyo
- Ramon beating Vanessa
- Foxy beating Igniz
- Heidern beating Igniz
- Original Zero beating Lin (weird!)
- Original Zero beating K'
- Kensou beating Athena (and vice-versa)
- Leona beating Iori
- Leona beating other Ikari team members
- K' beating Kula
- Takumi beating Ryo, Robert, Yuri
- Whip beating N.E.S.T.S. and Ikari team members
- Whip beating K', Maxima, Ramon
- Lin beating N.E.S.T.S. team members, Original Zero, Igniz
- Mary beating other Fatal Fury team members
- King beating Art of Fighting team members
- Kula beating Foxy
- May Lee (in Hero Mode) beating N.E.S.T.S. team members
- An Art of Fighting team member beating another one (no mirror matches)
- Seth beating Vanessa (and vice-versa)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECRET ENDING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get the secret ending, beat the game with an edit team but the following
characters must be absent from it: K', Maxima, Whip, Kula, Angel, Foxy.
This alternate ending shows up after Igniz's base blasts off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORIGINAL ZERO SELECTABLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No code has yet been released to confirm that Original Zero is selectable
(and his strikers) but there should be one since mid-bosses are always
selectable in KOF games. Or it could be that Eolith wants to change the
tradition. If a code _is_ released, I'll add it in the next update.
Anyway, those who have the Neo-Geo carts can just mess with the dip
switches and a trainer has been released for the dump (this allows
Igniz too to be selectable, among other equally cheap features).

4.B CONTACT INFO
=============================================================================
If you want to mail me for contributions, comments, feedback or you want to
send me some hot Angel and Mai pics, feel free to do so. The address is
found at the top of this FAQ. Note however that I will only accept certain
types of e-mails and I will ignore the rest. Here's the list of those:
· Please put the name of the guide as the subject. If you don't even say
what game it is all about, how the hell am I supposed to know? I have no
psychic powers!
· Do not ask me about roms and where you may find them. I don't give a fuck
about how poor you are. A KOF 2001 game requires only 1 token for around
15 minutes of play if you are moderately good. I don't consider this as
expensive.
· I only accept e-mails in English since this is an English guide. Plain ol'
English and no stupid messages of the type "hey dOOd, whassa teh!!111!!1".
If I can't understand what you are trying to say, your e-mail will directly
go to the trash. PoINtleSS CaPItalIzAtIOn WiLL bE IgNoReD To0. 1337 too is
fucking annoying.
· No flashy colors, don't send me executables, files. In short, type whatever
you wish to say and I will read it. If you're sending me info through an
attachment, rest assure that I will never read it, let alone reply.
· I'm tired of people requesting help on how to play with certain characters
and asking for tips. Please don't send me such e-mails, this is only a FAQ
and not a strategy guide. There are a lot of guides at GameFAQs and if that
isn't enough, just seek for help at the message board.

Version 4.10 on July 6, 2002
----------------------------
· Some corrections thrown in. A couple of bugs were also added.
Version 4.00 on June 20, 2002
-----------------------------
· Brushed up some sections and tweaked the format a bit. ASCII representation
of KOF 2001 was removed, another will possibly be added later if I feel
like it. Oh yeah, Zidane sucks!
Version 3.90 on June 6, 2002
----------------------------

instead!
Version 3.85 on June 4, 2002
----------------------------

Also brushed up some other sections. Striker notes and Secret Ending
added.
Version 3.75 on May 28, 2002
----------------------------
· A few corrections thrown in and some notes edited.
Version 3.70 on May 10, 2002
----------------------------
· Tweaked the format a bit (regrouped Super Cancel Moves and the rest) and
added various notes. I also intend on adding a "Bugs" section in the
next update since there seems to be a lot of those in 2001. Feel free
to send those you've encountered yourself meanwhile.
Version 3.60 on April 29, 2002
------------------------------
· Some useful info added as well as notes, corrections, etc...Foxy's Striker
Action was at last added and all the credit for it goes to Penguin! I
also added special winposes under the characters' notes since he sent
them those. These are definitely worth checking out! Also changed e-mail
addy!
Version 3.50 on April 25, 2002
------------------------------
· Notes added and some pointless ones removed! :)
Version 3.40 on April 24, 2002
------------------------------
· Minor corrections and some Super Cancel Moves added.
Version 3.30 on April 21, 2002

sections to make them clearer than Casper and added some contributions.

other sections. And for God's sake, stop asking me where to find the
ROMS!!

------------------------------
· Loads of new stuff added!
Version 2.75 on March 24, 2002
------------------------------
· Added a lot of striker actions sent in by Penguin. As the most observant
may have noticed (or the guys who contributed to this guide), I have
removed the e-mail addresses in the Credits section. This is because
some people find it funny to run spam programs in guides. Hope nobody
minds!

---------------------------------
· Working on it as from now. Not much - K' and Maxima woefully done with
notes and all. I'll be updating often as from now. Feel free to send me
your contributions and comments about the game, all will be welcome!

4.D CREDITS
=============================================================================
As of version 3.00, the credits list really became too long and was beginning
to take too much space. So, I changed its lay-out and scrapped the exhaustive
notes which I used to include beforehand and which nobody ever read.

Kudos also to AnotherGamer for compiling the bosses' movelists on the
KOF 2001 GameFAQs message board, complete with notes and to The True
Warrior for posting the move names beforehand.
If I somehow forgot to properly credit someone, please just let me know.
I've been getting a shit-load of e-mails for this guide and sometimes forget
to add names here even though I intended to. ;)
The best KOF websites have already been listed above for your information (I
think Orochinagi is now only a forum though). Don't forget to check them out.
That's all, folks! Thanks for reading!
