Ok, here we go again! This is my second FAQ, but again, I hope I have
made a decent job. Thanks for reading my FAQ

Now, Why a Heidern FAQ? Like on my FAQ about Yamazaki, here there are
a few reasons...7, to be specific:


1. He is an excellent character, and he can be REALLY nasty!
2. He teached the Ikari team how to fight!
3. He is the coolest of the Ikaris!
4. He is the Ikari team's commander and boss!
5. He can be REALLY cheap if you need or want to be (hehehah)
6. He is part of the Oyaji team (Big deal?! That team could eat the
  others for breakfast!)
7. He can gain energy back!!!

As you see, there are a ton of reason to use this guy in your team combos,
since he is a great fighter, who can save your butt on the last round with
his life gaining abilities (yeah, you can hear your opponent yell: "That
pig lives forever!!") so, lets get serious, and lets go kick some Rugal's
butt!

About Heidern:

Heidern is a expert soldier, cold and calm on the fight. He met Ralf and
Clark on a mission long ago, when he saved them from a wild leopard. The
three quickly became friends, and ended up under Heidern's command, and
learning Heidern's assasination techniques as well. On one of his missions
he found a little girl...bathed on blood. After founding that her entery
family was dead, he took the girl with him, and raised her as his own
daughter, Her name was Leona. By that time, he had already lost his own
family at the hands of the evil Rugal, on a fight long ago...When Heidern
was about to defeat Rugal, he took advantage of the presence of Heidern's
family, slaying them to gain time to escape, full of hatred and need of
justice he seeks to destroy Rugal's empire. When Rugal "died" on KOF '95
he found peace and left the tournament, leaving his trusted team, along
with Leona to investigate the Orochi events on KOF '96 and '97. But...on
KOF '98 the evil Rugal raises again...Now is time for Heidern to destroy
Rugal....forever!

========================================================================

Heidern special moves are excellent! He has moves meant to deal with any
possible situation, from defending an air attack, to jump over fireballs.
Master his techniques, learn when to use them, and you will be the King
of Fighters!.


K E Y   T O   T H E   M O V E S
------------------------------------------

f   = Forward
b   = Back
d   = Down
u   = Up
df  = Down-forward
qcf = Quarter circle forward
qcb = Quarter cirle back
hcf = Half circle forward
hcb = Half circle back
(x2) = Input the command twice
X = Weak punch
Y= Hard punch
A= Weak kick
B = Hard kick
DM= Desperation Move (you need a super bar to do this)
SDM= Super Desperation Move (you need to power up in advanced mode, or be
                            weak and have a super bar in extra mode)


U N I Q U E   M O V E S
--------------------------------

Lead Spewer
When in close, b or f + Y

Backstab
When in close, b or f + B

Critical Drive
When in close and in the air, b or f + Y or B

Shooting Narnagel
Press f + A

Notes about Shooting Narnagel: It's pretty simple. An overhead attack that
will crush a crouching opponent's guard and hit them twice. Heidern moves
forward one step when he does this move.


S P E C I A L   M O V E S
---------------------------------

-Moon Cutter
Charge D, u + any punch

Notes about Moon Cutter: A great move. This one is quick, swift and more
important surprising and effective. This move works great against jumpers
and it can be used to surprise an unexpecting opponent if you are close.
Since it is so quick, you must learn its timing in order to use it effec-
tively against jumping-in opponents, but its nothing too complicated. Be
careful when you use it as surprise attack, though, because you will be
vulnerable if you opponent blocks it.


-Cross Cutter
Charge B, f + any punch

Notes about Cross Cutter: Nice move. This a fireball type move, not as
quick as it was on KOF '95, but it still has a decent speed and is one of
the few fireball that still have a full-screen range. It can be used to
confuse your opponent, since it's two speeds are quite hard to get used to.
Heidern has a decent recovery time and also a decent "shooting speed". If
your opponents jumps at you, give a nice welcome with a Moon Cutter. Be
careful of fireballs fights...You may lose if you lose the beat even for a
second.


-Storm Bringer
When in close, hcb + any punch

Notes about Storm Bringer: Great move! This one can be used in many ways!
You must be close to use it, but who cares! It's quick and effective, and
since it works as a "throw move" it can't be blocked. You can use it to
surprise the opponents when close, or roll behind the opponent and use it
afterwards. It also lets Heidern regain some life! ^o^ On the bad side of
the things, Heidern will have a "miss" animation if you fail to connect.


-Neck Roller
Charge D, u + any kick

Notes about Neck Roller: Good move. This one is good against fireball
freaks, and can be used against unexpecting or inexperienced opponents.
You must be careful when you use it, since if it is blocked by your oppo-
nent it will leave you very vulnerable. But you can use the two strengths
of the kicks, since Heidern will jump back if you use hard kick and he will
jump forward if you use weak kick. Use it to confuse the opponent.


-Killer Bringer
hcb + any kick

Notes about Killer Bringer: Good move. Now, this is one counter that does
require practice to use it. It will counter high and jumping in attacks...
but it has a very short countering frame, so you will have to learn its
timing very well in order to use it effectively. A good advantage is that
once you master it, you will very happy that you did so, since it will let
you regain a small amount of energy. It looks cool too! Beware of low hits
and throws!


D M  (S D M)   T E C H N I Q U E S
-----------------------------------------------


-Heidern End
qcb, hcf + any kick

Notes about Heidern End: An ok DM. Well, there's not too much you can do
with this one. It has a great damage (specially if you use it as SDM) and
it has a good reach, but you have to be patient to use it, since your oppo-
nent can block it, or in some cases duck under it, easily. Use it when your
opponent misses an attack or DM. You can use it against inexperienced oppo-
nents to surprise them, but, generally speaking, use this move carefully.


-Final Bringer
qcf (X2) + any punch

Notes about Final Bringer: A good DM. It doesn't has great science, but it
is a good DM. You can use it against fireball freaks, and if you anticipate
your opponents moves, you can use it against jumping opponents. If you hit
the opponent with it, you will regain a lots of life(specially the SDM). Be
careful if your opponent blocks it...You will be as vulnerable as a puppy.
