1. INTRODUCTION
========================================================================
Welcome to my KoF '00 FAQ. It started off as mainly a collection of
contributions (since I hadn't played the game yet), but I've had the
chance to play the arcade version quite a bit and have rewritten the
FAQ. Everything has been 100% tested and confirmed.
If you have any comments or criticisms, or if you'd like to contribute
some info., feel free to mail me at (k.megura at eudoramail dot com).
Just don't ask about emulators or roms or anything, I don't know the
first thing about that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVISION HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.5 (November 7, 2002)
- The FAQ has been completely rewritten.
VERSION 0.4 (September 8, 2000)
- Added in the bio and proper movenames for Kula, as well as more
fantastic contributions. Thanks guys n' gals!
VERSION 0.3 (August 30, 2000)
- This is a cool update, since I got a boatload of info. sent in by
contributors. Thanks to Vincent Chua, I was able to get the official
codes for the Maniac Strikers and Kula, as well as Kula's official
moveslist and other neat info taken from his Famitsu magazine scans.
For those who are interested, KoF 2000 can be found at Sunnyvale
Golfland, according to Kenneth Cheung.
VERSION 0.2 (August 11, 2000)
- Fixed up the MAX / SDM mistake (SNK has always referred to SDMs as
"MAX" moves). I also added in some information from my KoF '99 FAQ,
and other stuff that I tested out on KoF '99 Evolution, which should
still apply. Changed some of the number translations after getting
some spellings from SNK's KoF '00 dictionary, too. There have also
been some great contributions sent in as well.
VERSION 0.1 (August 6, 2000)
- A bare-bones release; I will be adding info. from my KoF '99 FAQ in
the next update. What's here is simply what I could get from SNK
of Japan's page.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL THANKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This FAQ would not have been possible without help from the following:
NanYu Kang
- For providing the "Koko made da" translation.
Kailu Lantis
- For doing a superb job of providing all the endings you see in the
FAQ!
Visual Kreations
- For correcting me on Kula's movenames and translating her bio for
me.
DEVIL PANDA
- For notes on K', Maxima, Vanessa, Lin, Seth, Ryo, Clark, and Choi.
Vincent Chua <
http://hello.to/vincKOF>
- Vincent let me take some info. from his Famitsu magazine scans, so
the official moveslist for Kula, official commands for jumping and
throw escapes, and the names and attacks of the Maniac Strikers (not
to mention the official code to play as Kula and enable the Maniac
Strikers), have been taken from those scans, as well as some basic
comments on which attacks are overheads / low attacks.
Alexander Triste
- For _tons_ of stuff: info. on Vanessa's Puncher moves, Mary's Double
Rolling, Ryo's Gedan Uke, and Takuma's Shin Kishin Geki. He also
sent in combos for several characters, and offered notes on Vanessa,
Seth, Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Clark, Kensou, Chin Yuri, Kasumi, Kim,
Choi, Kyo, Iori, and Kula! Whew!
Kenneth Cheung
- For all kinds of stuff: comboing using strikers after a command
throw, notes on attacks for Jhun, Mary, Clark, Takuma, Choi, Kyo,
and Another Robert, and some more info. on Kula.
Jeremy (magic 8ball)
- For the alternate Maniac Striker code.
Akuma Hokoru
- For Clark's infinite and information on Joe's Ora Ora Bakuretsu Ken;
also for describing Shingo's new win pose and explaining how Lin's
SDM-only super move works.
Gunsmith <
http://kof.fighters.net>
- Also for some info. on Gai Tendou's Striker attack.
Ruhztee
- For the description of Gai Tendou's Striker attack.
GalFord
- For his translation of 'El Diablo Amarillo' and for telling me how
the Russian names work.
Patrick Hwang
- For tons of information; he told me about the Counter Mode knockdown
attack, how taunting works, how you can re-edit your teams in versus
play, and provided descriptions / info. on certain Striker attacks.
(v0.3) For notes on Throw Escapes, K', Lin, Seth, Terry, Another
Kensou, and Another Chang.
Jim Breen's WWWJDIC <www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html>
- I used this handy online dictionary to translate some of the move
names.
Jeffrey's J<->E Dictionary <
http://www.linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/>
- As usual, I relied on this site for translating some of the Japanese
move names--this is a pretty cool dictionary.
NJStar <www.njstar.com/>
- Not only does NJStar offer great Japanese word processors, you can
also look up the translation for single or multiple kanji.
Henry Moriarty MadMan's Cafe, <
http://www.mmcafe.com>
- I got the codes to unlock the strikers and mid-boss in v0.1-v0.2 from
this page, which has recently re-opened. Definitely check it out;
it's one of the best videogame information sites on the Net, and a
personal favorite of mine.
SNK of Japan <
http://www.neogeo.co.jp>
- Tons of info. was taken from their KoF 2000 Japanese and English
sites; most of what you see in v0.1 of this FAQ was taken straight
from the source, so to speak.
(v0.4) Got the official moveslist, code, and bio for Kula from their
page.

- During a Short Jump, your character will usually do the attack
animations for a Vertical Jump, even though you you can Short
Jump diagonally. The same thing applies to the Running Short Jump.
- Also note that during either type of Short Jump, there are some
mid-air command attacks that cannot be used. However, you can
still perform mid-air throws and aerial special moves or (S)DMs
while in air.
- During the Emergency Evade moves, you are immune to attack while
rolling, but not as the roll ends. Also, you are vulnerable to
being thrown at any point during the roll.
- The Blow Away Attack will knock down a hit opponent. You cannot
use this move while crouching.
- The "Guard Cancel" moves require 1 stock of your Power Gauge to use.
- Furthermore, you are totally invincible during a Guard Cancel roll.
- The Guard Cancel Blow Away Attack does no damage. Furthermore,
it isn't cancelable like some CD attacks are.
- Taunting can be canceled shortly after the taunt has begun, simply
by moving around.
- If you have at least one stock in your Power Gauge and are missing
a Strike Bomb, taunting will use up the stock but give you another
Strike Bomb in return.
========================================================================
3. TEAM MOVELISTS
========================================================================
Moves are listed in this order: normal throws, command attacks, special
moves, DMs, then SDMs. Afterwards is a list of super cancels, and
Striker attacks (if no hit is listed for the super cancel, assume that
the move is super cancelable on any hit). Following that are some notes
on that character's moves and abilities. Translations for the move
names can be found at the end of Section 6. More detailed information
on how to play can be found in Section 4.

will be open to attack until he recovers.

standing opponents (like Chang).
- The (A) Bunker Buster is an overhead attack. Either strength can
hit an opponent who is lying on the ground. Furthermore, this move
has autoguard as it begins and ends.
- The (C) Bunker Buster will always make Maxima fall just behind his
opponent. With proper timing, both versions can combo for 2 hits,
though.
- Maxima's standing close and standing far C have autoguard, as does
his crouching C and his standing CD attack.
- The Maxima Lift, Dangerous Arch, Blitz Cannon, and Maxima Revenger
are all unblockable.

- During the Puncher Weaving, Vanessa is immune to all attacks except
low hits and throws.
- According to Triste: "Vanessa's Crazy Puncher is almost the same as
Iori's Ya Otome--it can go through Iori's Yami Barai, and it ignores
almost everyone's hits." Personally, this doesn't seem to be the
case, but it could just be my bad timing ;)

- The Joudan Uke and Gedan Uke cannot normally hit anyone. Instead,
if you are attacked during either move, you will automatically block
the attacks and continue forward. The Joudan Uke will block high
attacks and jumping attacks, while the Gedan Uke will stop low
attacks, but not if they're too low (like most crouching D sweeps).
Since the Gedan Uke's command is d + B, you have to hold db or df

- If you cancel into the Hisha Otoshi, it becomes cancelable. This
move can negate projectiles that hit once [even if they are (S)DMs].
- The Keima Uchi is a knockdown attack, unless you cancel into it (in
which case, it becomes cancelable). This move can hit opponents who
are lying on the floor.
- The Mouko Burai Gan no longer drops an opponent's guard. However,
this move still has autoguard.
- You can juggle your opponent after the (D) Hien Shippuu Kyaku. You
can even follow with a (C) Haou Shikou Ken!
- The Shouran Kyaku is an unblockable attack.
- You can delay the Haou Shikou Ken to increase the amount of damage
it does.
- Although the Shin Kishin Geki can only be done from up close, it's
possible to have the hits miss. Now, though, only the first hit
makes you drop your guard, so afterwards you can block the rest of
the attacks.
- From Triste comes this neat combo: standing C, f + A, Haou Shikou Ken.

- The Strike Arch is both an overhead and a knockdown attack. It
loses both properties if canceled into, but becomes cancelable.
- The Heart Attack won't hit unless it's done from up close, but
it can be blocked. When this move is used, Leona plants an
explosive on her opponent. It will shine for a few seconds
before exploding (or, you can use the Kibaku command to make it
automatically explode).
- What's more, Leona recovers before her opponent does, so you can
combo off of this move.
- Although the bomb can explode at any time (even when your opponent is
lying on the floor), that doesn't necessarily mean it will hit for
damage. For example, if your opponent is in the middle of getting
up off the floor, the explosion will do no damage.
- If you're hit by the Heart Attack, the only way to remove the bomb
is to score a successful hit against Leona, or if Leona throws you.

while charging this move, you cannot use any special moves or DMs,
and are limited to using normal attacks, normal throws, and the AB
roll or CD knockdown attack (depending on what button you're holding).
- The Galactica Phantom is unblockable. This move has autoguard once
Ralf is fully crouching, and it lasts until the frame where he
actually strikes.

a Napalm Stretch (and can then follow with the Flashing Elbow).
- The Napalm Stretch only catches airborne opponents.
- Don't forget to follow the Mount Tackle with a followup throw, as
it does no damage itself. This move can catch people out of the
air.
- You can use the Flashing Elbow after the Napalm Stretch,
Frankensteiner, Super Argentine Backbreaker, or Sleeper Lift.
If your opponent is too far away, you'll run up but won't elbow
them; if they're close and you do it to soon, you'll attack the
ground instead of your enemy :)
- Except for the Stomping, Gatling Attack, Mount Tackle, and Flashing
Elbow, all of Clark's moves are unblockable.
- Clark's crouching C is a different frame, but still has

- The (C) Strings Shot hits low on the 2nd hit, while the (A) Strings
Shot is an overhead on the 2nd hit.
- The Strings Shot A through C can actually be supercanceled out of
just before the first hit connects.
- It's possible for the 2nd hit of the Boomerang Shot to miss, but if
it doesn't Whip will fling her opponent across the screen.
- The Assassin Strike can hit on the way up, and on the weay down.
The button used for this move determines where you come down (A is
closest, D is furthest away). Keep in mind that this is relative to
your location, so if you're in the far corner of the screen, using
A-D all put you in the same place.
- The second hit of each Strings Shot has a special property. Type A
(Yuuetsu) is an overhead attack, while Strings Shot B (Chikara) drags
your opponent closer to you. Finally, Strings Shot C (Shouri) is a
low-hitting attack. You can delay any of these moves by holding down
the proper button, and can cancel them by pressing D while delaying
any Strings Shot.
- Whip's crouching A can hit someone on the floor, if you've got your
spacing right. It works well after a crouching D sweep, or a normal
throw.

- During the (A) Suikan Kan'ou, Chin is immune to mid- and low-level
attacks. During the (C) version, he is immune to high and mid-level
attacks. However, he can still be thrown during either version.
- Using the Bougetsu Sui makes Chin lie on the ground, so he can only
be hit by low attacks. This also allows him to lie under (or move
under) most projectiles. He is not invincible though, and can still
be thrown.
- The Gouran Enpou can negate (S)DM projectiles. The (A) version
travels upward, while the (C) version moves horizontally. During
the SDM version, the flames spew out in all directions.

the basic formula is this: if you perform a move with a light attack
(A or B), then Bao fires a projectile. If you perform it with a

4. SECRETS AND TRICKS
========================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAY AS KULA
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taken straight from SNK of Japan's page:
- Put the cursor on Whip, press Start.
- Put the cursor on Vanessa, press Start.
- Put the cursor on Seth, press Start.
- Put the cursor on Maxima, press Start.
- Put the cursor on K', press Start.
- Put the cursor on the roulette box (the one with a question
mark in it), then press Start.
- Now press up, down.
If you enter the code correctly, then once you press down, you'll hear
Kula say, "Wakatteru...." The roulette picture will then change to a
picture of Kula. You have to re-enter the code every time you want to
use her, though.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAY AS ZERO
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing Zero requires that you have the Debug BIOS installed in your
Neo*Geo. Hold down the second player pause button and press C on the
2nd player side to enter the BIOS, then pick the bottom option (Game
Debug Bios).
To use Zero, turn dip switch 1-3 on (so it reads 1 instead of 0). Then
start the game. Not only is Kula enabled, but if you hold down Start on
the first player side and press Down while highlighting Kula, then Zero
will appear.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANIAC STRIKERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This code is courtesy of Famitsu Magazine:
- At the Striker Select Screen, highlight 'Another Striker',
- Press up, left x3, right x3, down
These characters have Maniac Strikers: Ramon, Ryo, Kasumi, Choi, Chang,
Kyo, Iori, and Kula.

CLARK'S INFINITE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one comes straight from Akuma Hokoru: "Joe's striker can pick the
opponent up off the floor...case in point...do the HCF+B/D grab after
Clark slams them to the ground; call out Joe, he does the Ora Ora
Bakuretsu Ken. Before Joe does the uppercut, Clark can dash up and do
standing C to the HCF+B/D grab again into another Ora Ora Bakuretsu
Ken. Lather, rinse, repeat."
========================================================================
5. GAMEPLAY NOTES
========================================================================
This section explains some of the KoF basics (listed in alphabetical
order).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARMOR AND COUNTER MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To activate "Armor Mode," you have to have three stocks already built
up (see the entry on the Power Gauge for more information). Then press
BCD. The same thing applies to "Counter Mode," but you have to press
ABC instead. When you activate either mode, your character will pose
for a brief moment, and an opponent who is standing too close to you
will be knocked down (although they take no damage, this attack is
unblockable).
Once you have activated either mode, your Power Gauge is replaced by a
gauge reading either "Armor" or "Counter" that slowly drains. Once it
has completely emptied, the effects of either mode disappear. After
either mode ends, your Power Gauge will not reappear for a few moments.
This means that you cannot earn Power Gauge energy during this time.
While in Armor Mode, your character flashes yellow. Not only does
their attack power increase, but they gain "super armor," a feature
that prevents them from being counter hit. For example, if you were
making an attack and your opponent hit you, you would either be
knocked out of your attack, or both characters would be hit. However,
while in Armor Mode, your character will merely flash when hit and
continue with their attack. Keep in mind that you still take damage
when hit, though.
However, the "super armor" feature doesn't work while you're in air,
and if you're not making an attack when you get hit, you'll go into
a "hit animation" as you normally would. Furthermore, you cannot use
any move requiring stocks while in Armor Mode (like Guard Cancel rolls
or DMs).
While in Counter Mode, your character flashes red. Not only does their
attack power increase, but they gain the ability to "super cancel"
certain moves into DMs. For example, you could enter the command for
Takuma's Ryuuko Ranbu during his Mouko Burai Gan, and he would cancel
into the DM while still in the midst of his special move. You can
only super cancel an attack if it hits or is blocked; if you do a move
that misses and enter a command for a DM, nothing will happen. See
section 3 for a list of what moves can be super canceled out of.
One easy way to perform supercancels is by abbreviating the required
commands. As an example of this, let's look at Ryo. One of his
supercancels involves the Ko'ou Ken and the Tenchi Haou Ken. To
perform this, you could enter the commands like so:
236+P -> 236236+P
However, an easier way to do this is to combine both commands into
one smooth motion. In regards to the example above, this command
would also work:
236+P -> 236+P
This is possible because the computer interprets your Ko'ou Ken input
as the first part of the Tenchi Haou Ken, so all you need to do is
put in the remaining commands and press P.
For another example, let's look at Joe's Tiger Knee super cancel.
This move can be canceled on the first hit into a DM. Let's say you
want to cancel into his Bakuretsu Hurricane Tiger Kakato. This would
mean inputting the following:
623+K (1st hit) -> 2363214+P
Which is practically impossible to pull off, given that you have
to enter the whole thing before the 2nd hit of the Tiger Knee takes
place. A faster way to accomplish this would be to do the following:
6236+K (1st hit) -> 3214+P
By combining the required "236" motion into the Tiger Knee command,
you're still able to pull off the first move, but only have to enter
the remaining "3214+P" command to get the Knee to super cancel.
Although you can use DMs as often as you like while in Counter Mode, you
cannot use other moves that require stocks, like SDMS or Guard Cancel
rolls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTOGUARD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autoguard is a nifty little feature that lets you defend against an
attack while you're in the middle of performing a move. This may seem
kind of cheap, but in most cases, the autoguard can only be "triggered"
during a particular animation frame (or series of frames). For example,
Ryo's Joudan Uke only has one frame of autoguard, while Maxima's Bunker
Buster offers autoguard during the entire time that the move is
beginning, and as he recovers from it upon landing. Even if you hit
him with multiple attacks, they will all be blocked.
As an example of autoguard, let's look at Maxima's standing CD. If
an opponent attacks him, the autoguard will only come into effect if
he is hit at a particular moment. In this case, it's either when he
is holding his arms directly behind him horizontally, or in the next
frame, when his arms are held at a downward angle. If the autoguard
is triggered, then there is a brief pause as the incoming attack is
blocked, followed by the rest of the CD animation.
Another feature of autoguard is that your guard won't drop during an
automatically blocked attack, nor does it contribute to your chance
of getting your guard dropped. However, you still take block damage
from autoguarding against a special move or (S)DM.
However, autoguard is not perfect. It is entirely possible for your
opponent to trigger your autoguard, but still hit you even after it's
been triggered (usually this occurs when they're using an attack that
hits more than once).
Keep in mind that some moves have no effect except to provide you with
autoguard, like Ryo's Gedan Uke [however, in this case, if autoguard
is triggered, you can cancel into a special move or (S)DM].
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLOCKING ATTACKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways to defend against attacks; by blocking them, or
by using autoguard. Autoguard is explained in a previous entry (see
above).
Blocking attacks is as simple as holding back to block while standing
(also known as blocking high), or holding down-back to block while
crouching (also known as blocking low). When you block an attack,
you take no damage from it. If you block a special move or (S)DM,
then you take greatly reduced damage with each hit. Normally, you
can't block a throw attempt, but some throws will not connect (or
will miss entirely), if you block them. Note that if you block too
many attacks in a short period of time, you will experience "dropped
guard" (see the entry below for more information on this).
Blocking high will protect you from any kind of jumping attack, and
most standing attacks (although some character's standing kicks can
hit below the belt and must be blocked low). However, you are left
vulnerable to low attacks. Blocking low protects you from low attacks
(like crouching kicks, etc.) and most standing attacks. However, you
are left open to jumping attacks and overheads.
An overhead is any move that cannot be blocked low, but it's most
commonly used to describe moves that look like they should be able to
be blocked low. For example, Terry's Hammer Arch is a standing punch
attack. It looks like you could crouch and block it, but in fact, it
will hit you unless you block while standing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COUNTER HITS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A counter hit occurs when you are damaged while making an attack of some
sort. This can occur if you're hit while your attack begins, as it is
being performed, or while you recover from it. Any time a move connects
on a counter hit, it does slightly more damage than usual. Some moves
do significantly more damage, like Ryo's Kohou Shippuu Ken or Tenchi
Haou Ken.
If a Blow Away Attack (more commonly known as the CD attack) counter
hits, then you can juggle your opponent afterwards. For example, if
you jumped in with a CD that hit, doing an Oniyaki upon landing would
not do anything. However, if the CD counterhit, then the Oniyaki would
actually connect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DROPPED GUARD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dropped Guard" refers to those instances when, while in the midst of
blocking an attack, your character suddenly stops blocking and goes
into a sort of "stunned" animation for a split second. There are two
ways that this can happen:
The first is by Guard Crush. This happens when you block too many
attacks in a brief period of time. For example, if Terry were to
quickly attack Lin with 12 close standing (D) attacks, then on
the twelfth one, Lin would stop blocking. However, after you are
Guard Crushed, the chance of getting GC'd "resets", so he could block
nine more of the same attack before getting Guard Crushed again.
Every character can resist a different number of hits before being
GC'd (for example, in the above example, Bao would be GC'd in only
eleven blocked hits).
The second method involves special moves that have the special ability
to block an opponent's guard. There's nothing special here--some moves
can just do that, like Shingo's Kake Hourin or Zero's Zanpuu Enpa.
These moves will drop your guard every time, no matter what.
So, what's the significance of all this? Well, if your guard drops,
that means that you're left open to attack for a moment. If, for
example, Kyo GC'd you with a close standing C, he could cancel it into
the Aragami, and that would hit you before you recovered and resumed
blocking. The same applies to moves that drop your guard; if you
try to block Jhun's Taikyoku Ha, your guard would drop, and he could
supercancel it into the Hou'ou Ressou Kyaku, which would combo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
POWER GAUGE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Power Gauge will gradually fill up as the following requirements are
met:
- You perform a special move that misses (including special throws).
- You perform an attack that is blocked.
- You perform an attack that hits [excluding normal throws and
(S)DMs].
- You are hit by an opponent's attack (excluding normal throws).
Each time the Power Gauge is filled, it will empty, and a "stock" (a
little yellow dot) will appear beneath the gauge. You can hold up
to three stocks at at time.
Once you earn a stock, the only way to lose it is to either end the
battle (meaning all of your opponents are defeated), or expend your
stock(s) on one of the following moves:
- A Guard Cancel roll (press 4/6+AB while blocking)
- A Guard Cancel attack (press CD while blocking)
- A Desperation Move (DM) (command varies)
- A Super Desperation Move (SDM) (command varies)
- Counter Mode Invoke (press ABC)
- Armor Mode Invoke (press BCD)
- Strike Bomb replenish (press Start)
Guard Cancel moves, DMs, and the Strike Bomb replenish all cost one
stock to use. SDMs and the "mode invoke" moves all cost three stocks
to use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVERSAL MOVES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reversal moves have the ability to "catch" your opponent's attack and
respond with an attack on your own. Some of these reversal moves cannot
hit unless the "reversal" feature is triggered (such as Kasumi's Messhin
Mutou, while others can actually hit your opponent and only reverse
attacks as a secondary function (like Kyo's Nue Tsumi).
All reversal moves have a certain animation frame (or frames) in which
the reversal can be triggered. Otherwise, if your opponent attacks you
and you're not in that particular frame, you'll just get hit. For
example, Blue Mary's M. Head Buster can only be used as a reversal if
she is attacked while holding her arms in front of her.
Not all reversal moves can "catch" the same attacks. Here are the types
of attacks you can reverse, depending on who you're using:
Jumping - an attack your opponent makes while in air.
High - an attack that hits above the waist.
Mid-Level - an attack that hits below the waist, but doesn't
hit the lower legs or feet (such as most crouching
punches).
Low - attacks that hit the feet (such as most crouching
kicks).
special moves - Includes non-projectile and non-throw special moves.
(S)DMs - Includes non-projectile and non-throw (S)DMs.
Note that an opponent's "attack" refers to any move that has a hit
animation that is not a special move or (S)DM. So a jumping CD attack,
standing B, or a command attack (like Leona's Strike Arch) could all
be reversed. Ryo's Joudan Uke could not, because although it is a
command attack, it has no hit animation.
If a character can reverse special moves or (S)DMs, then they can
"catch" those moves even if they are unblockable (such as Ralf's
Galactica Phantom). A character who can reverse special moves still
cannot reverse blockable throws, even though they have a "hit"
animation. Also, just because you can reverse a particular type of
attack doesn't mean that you can reverse _all_ of them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THROW TYPES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not all throws function in the same way. Throws can be put into one of
three categories; those that are unblockable (anybody's normal C or D
throw, for example), those that are blockable (Maxima's Blitz Cannon)
and those that miss entirely if you block them (Hinako's Yorigiri).

- K' slides forward. If his opponent is in the air, he does an (A)
Crow Bites instead.
MAXIMA Maxima Gallows

them for a few moments. The grab is blockable, and your opponent
takes no damage from any of the attacks.
RAMON El Diablo Amarillo Ramon
- Ramon leaps to where you are and dashes forward. If he gets near
an opponent while dashing, he does a 6-hit series of attacks.
VANESSA Hard Puncher
- Vanessa dashes all the way across the screen and does a series of
rapid punches when close to her opponent.
BENIMARU NIKAIDO Electrigger

them for a few moments. The grab is blockable, and your opponent
takes no damage from any of the attacks.
SHINGO YABUKI "Yacchatte kudasai!"
- Shingo dashes forward and then lunges at his opponent's feet, holding
them in place for a brief moment. Both the dash and the lunge can
combo together for 2 hits.
LIN Hirai Kyaku
- Lin leaps out with a flying kick and does the end of his (D) Hiten
Kyaku if the first kick hits. The two will combo for 2 hits total.
SETH Final Agent
- Seth leaps in with a flying kick. If it hits, he does a 2-hit Sho-
Yoh upon landing (this can combo for 2-3 hits). If the kick misses,
he walks forward and does a 2-hit Sho-Yoh when close.
TERRY BOGARD Dunk Geyser
- Terry dashes out and does a Power Geyser. If he hits someone
while dashing, he does a Power Dunk into a Power Geyser, that
will combo for anywhere between 3 to 5 hits.
ANDY BOGARD Shippuu Zan'ei Ken
- Andy leaps to where you are and does a long-range Zan'ei Ken.
JOE HIGASHI Ora Ora Bakuretsu Ken
- Joe leaps to where you are with a kick and does his '95-style
Bakuretsu Ken. If it misses, he doesn't do anything, but if it
does hit, he follows with an uppercut for 6 hits. This move
can combo with the leaping kick for 7 hits total. The leaping
kick can hit an opponent who is lying on the ground.
BLUE MARY Rapid Spider
- Mary slides on-screen using her Straight Slicer, then does an M.
Spider. If the Spider misses (and it can be blocked) she doesn't
do anything else, but if it hits, she launches her opponent into
the air. Note that the Slicer and M. Spider will not combo, and
that none of these attacks do any damage.
RYO SAKAZAKI Kuuchuu Ko'ou Ken
- Ryo leaps into the air and throws a mid-air Ko'ou Ken. This
move can hit an opponent who is lying on the ground.
ROBERT GARCIA Ryuuren Moushuu
- Robert leaps wo where you are and dashes forward. If he hits
someone before his dash ends, he does a 7-hit series of attacks
ending with a flip kick. It's possible to have some of the
attacks miss, depending on Robert's location.
KING Trap Rush
- King dashes out and does a sliding kick (which must be blocked
low) that goes to the other end of the screen. If it hits, she
follows with a 5-hit Silent Flash. The two attacks can combo for
6 hits.
TAKUMA SAKAZAKI Chou Hissatsu: Tengu Shikou Ken
- Takuma (in his Mr. Karate mask) dashes on-screen, charges for a
moment, then throws a SDM Haou Shikou Ken across the screen
(although the projectile only hits once).
ATHENA ASAMIYA Psycho Healing (Psycho Repair)
- Athena leaps to where you are and does her SDM Shining Crystal
Bit pose. Once she lands, she can hit a nearby opponent, and will
knock them down. If you are missing any life, then you will regain
some of it when Athena poses, no matter where you are on the screen.
SIE KENSOU Meat Bun 4 U
- Kensou leaps to where you are with a Ryuu Sougeki attack that can
hit once. Upon landing, he eats a meat bun. If you are missing
some life and are standing in front of Kensou, he will not eat
the bun, and you get some life back, instead. However, you have
to be careful to not be too far away or too close to Kensou, or
else nothing happens.
CHIN GENTSAI Hourai Raku'en
- Chin rolls on screen and looks around for a bit, then does a 5-hit
Ryuurin Hourai. If your opponent is standing in front of Chin when
he finishes rolling, he will instantly go into the Ryuurin Hourai.
BAO Psycho Ball Attack MAX ~Striker MiX~
- Bao dashes onscreen and fires a Psycho Ball Attack MAX across the
screen. The dash can hit an opponent, and if so, the two attacks
will combo for 2 hits.
LEONA HEIDERN Killer Touch
- Leona dashes forward a certain distane. If she touches her opponent
while dashing, she plants a bomb on them that explodes for 2 hits.
RALF JONES Galactica Phantom
- Ralf dives into the middle of the screen using a Kyuukouka Bakudan
Punch, then does a Galactica Phantom. Both hits can combo. Note
that the Galactica Phantom is blockable.
CLARK STEEL Flashing Launcher
- Clark leaps to where you are with a kick attack, then attempts to
grab his opponent and throw them. The kick and the throw attempt
can combo, but the throw may miss if the kick hits. Both moves
do no damage.
WHIP Valkyrie Killer
- Whip leaps out. Upon landing, she does a fast version of her Whip
Shot that can hit twice. She can hit an opponent as she lands, and
if she does so, she does a 1-hit Boomerang Shot instead (although
the two attacks can combo).
MAI SHIRANUI Sakura Fubuki
- Mai dashes out, then taunts. If she hits someone while dashing,
she does a 6-hit Hana Arashi.
YURI Hien Rekkou
- Yuri dashes out, then taunts. If she hits someone while dashing,
she does a 6-hit Hien Rekkou.
KASUMI TODO Katsu
- Kasumi leaps out with a kick, then taunts. If she touches someone
during the beginning of her taunt animation, she throws them aside.
Both the kick and the taunt can combo together, although neither
move does any damage. Kasumi's taunt drains an opponent's meter
by six parts (an entire level's worth).
HINAKO SHIJOU Teppou Hinako
- Hinako leaps to where you are, then does a crouching C into a 4-hit
Tsukidashi attack.
KIM KAPHWAN Hishou Kyaku
- Kim leaps out and does a Hishou Kyaku. If it hits, he does a
one-hit Kuu Sajin, then taunts upon landing.
CHANG KOEHAN Tekkyuu Dai Kourin
- Chang leaps into the middle of the screen, or into your opponent,
whichever one is closer. Upon landing, he flops forward. This
does a fair amount of damage if blocked.
CHOI BOUNGE Chouhatsu Zanmai
- Choi leaps in and does one of three taunts. The "one leg" taunt
drains your opponent's Power Gauge by three parts, while the
"facing away" taunt drains by four parts. The rarer "facing
the screen" taunt drains five parts. If Choi's opponent gets
close to him, he does a 2-hit Tatsumaki Shippuu Zan.
JHUN HOON Fukuko Shuugeki
- Jhun dashes in and does a Hiko Geki (this is an overhead attack).
If he hits an enemy while dashing, he does a 3-hit Kuu Sajin instead
(but the Kuu Sajin does no damage).
KYO KUSANAGI Ura 108 Shiki: Orochi Nagi
- Kyo leaps out and does an SDM Orochi Nagi that hits three times.
If an opponent touches his body before he attacks, he instantly
fires the Orochi Nagi, which either results in a 4-hit combo,
or results in the Orochi Nagi missing.
IORI YAGAMI Ura 108 Shiki: Ya Sakazuki
- Yagami dashes onscreen and throws a Yami Barai. If he hits someone
while dashing, they are knocked down, and the Yami Barai won't hit
them.
KULA (CANDY) Candy Spin
- You cannot use Kula as a Striker. Instead, you can summon Candy, a
robot who will spin around like an ice skater when summoned.
ZERO None
- Zero jumps on-screen, then jumps away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANOTHER STRIKER LIST
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section lists each character, the name of their Striker Action,
and what they actually do when summoned. Characters are listed in
alphabetical order.
ANOTHER BENIMARU Raijin Ken
- Benimaru leaps to your location and does a blade-like Raijin Ken. If
his opponent is too close, the Raijin Ken will miss entirely.
ANOTHER K' Narrow Spike
- K' leaps in and does a long-range jump kick that leaves him lying on
the floor.
ANOTHER ROBERT Chouhatsu no Ken
- Robert leaps to your location and taunts, which removes 3 parts (or
about half a level) from your opponent's Power Gauge. If he's close
to his opponent, he does a 2-hit Ryuuga instead.
ATHENA Fire Sword
- Athena leaps to your location and swings her sword, sending out a
swath of fire that hits one time.
BAIJANG Gororin Panda
- Baijang runs in, poses, then rolls forward. A hit opponent will be
knocked to the floor.
BILLY KANE Rengeki Ensatsu Kon
- Billy runs on-screen and does his "Dai Kaiten Geri." Upon landing,
he then does a short "Sen'en Sakkon." If either hit of the Dai
Kaiten Geri connects, he will immediately go into the Sen'en Sakkon,
which will hit three times instead of two (for four hits total).
CHIZURU KAGURA Boukatsu: Hatei no Reifu
- Chizuru leaps to your location and dances for a while. The finishing
pose of the dance can hit your opponent for a 2-hit combo, and when
she finishes dancing, you will get a little of your life back, if
you've lost any (this works no matter where you in relation to
Chizuru).
CHRIS Shooting Dancer
- Chris runs on-screen. If his opponent isn't close enough, he does
an overhead stomp. If they are, he does a crouching attack, then
a sliding kick (both attacks combo, but only the slide must be
blocked low).
COSPLAYER KYOKO 75 Shiki: Kai 2
- Kyoko comes in with a R.E.D. Kick. If it hits, she taunts. If it
misses, she follows with a 2-hit 75 Shiki: Kai.
DUCK KING Windmill
- Duck dives in with a "Flying Head Spin" attack that hits once, then
starts dancing as soon as he lands. The last hit of the dance will
knock an opponent away. However, _none_ of the hits of any of these
attacks will connect (although the dance animations randomly combos
for two hits).
DUKE EDWARDS Submarine Screw
- Duke walks on-screen, then does a rising uppercut. If his opponent
is close by, he will do the uppercut when he's close enough.
EIJI KISARAGI Kasumi Giri
- Eiji appears next to you, vanishes in a cloud of smoke, then dashes
forward and slashes. He will slash as soon as he is close to your
opponent.
FIO Parachute Kunka Konren
- Fio flies in and falls to the ground, atop your opponent. The
falling animation can hit twice. She then stands up and salutes, or
if her opponent is close enough, she pushes them aside.
GAI TENDOU Wheel Combo: Maxi Edge
- Gai leaps in with a kick which will knock down a hit opponent. Upon
landing, he takes off his hooded robe, then does a 2-hit heel kick
followed by a lunging kick. The jump kick won't combo with the other
hits, but the heel kick and lunge kick will combo together for three
hits.
GEESE HOWARD Shinkuu Nage
- Geese dashes on-screen via a Jaei Ken. After he stops, he points at
his opponent, and then taunts. The Jaei Ken can hit (in which case
he does nothing), but if the "pointing animation" hits, then Geese
will do his "Shinkuu Nage" instead. None of these attacks do any
damage, and the taunt will drain four parts (about 2/3rds) of a full
Power Gauge level.
GOENITZ Yonokaze
- Goenitz leaps to your enemy's location, and does his "Yonokaze" pose
before disappearing. As soon as he's gone, a giant whirlwind shows
up.
GORO DAIMON Tenchi Gaeshi: Olympic Version
- Goro runs on-screen a ways, then taunts. If he touches his opponent
while running, he does a "Tenchi Gaeshi" instead.
KAEDE Fukuryuu
- Kaede rolls in from off-screen, then does his Fukuryuu attack. A
hit opponent is launched into the air.
KANG BAEDAL Ko Neppuu
- Kang leaps to your location and throws two hurricanes by swinging his
legs around. Since Kang moves forward while attacking, it's easy for
this move to miss if your opponent is too close to you.
KAORU WATANABE Powerful Miracle Tackle
- Kaoru runs in, poses, then races forward and tackles her opponent.
If the tackle is blocked, her opponent drops their guard. She then
claps her hands together, which gives you 3 parts (about one-half)
of a Power Gauge level back.
KENSOU Psycho Space
- Kensou leaps in and comes down with a glowing palm attack. Upon
landing, his opponent is bounced upward a moment later by an unseen
force.
KIM DONGHWAN Shiden Kyaku
- Kim leaps on-screen. Upon landing, he can hit an opponent, and this
can combo into his 2nd attack, which is a electricity-producing kick.
However, it's possible for the two hits to not combo. If the
"landing attack" misses, Kim does his "Ponpe Odori" dance instead,
which drains your opponent's Power Gauge by three parts (about 1.15
levels)!
KIM JAE HOON Ryuusei Raku
- Kim dashes in with a slide attack, then does a hopping kick. The
two attacks will combo for 2 hits, and the slide attack can hit
an opponent who is lying on the floor.
KIM SUE-IL Hisen Zan
- Kim slides in and taunts. If the slide hit, he does a two-hit
rising attack with his pole. The hits can combo for 3 hits total.
LILY KANE Lily no Ouen
- Lily runs on-screen, pants, then begins waving. This will give you
about 80% of a Power Gauge level back.
LI XIANGFEI Dai Kokuchou
- Xiangfei leaps to your location and taunts. Unbelivably, this
drains your opponent's meter by all 3 levels!
MATURE & VICE Decide
- Whoever comes out is random, but they both do the same thing--a
leaping attack that can hit. Upon landing, they do their Decide
attack, which can combo with the previous hit. While the leaping
attack does damage, the Decide does not.
NAKORURU Daichi no Megumi
- Nakoruru leaps in to your location. If you're nearby, Nakoruru
glows briefly--this can hit an opponent and will restore some of your
life, if you've lost any of it. However, if you're not near Nakoruru
when she leaps in, she simply gives a confused look and leaves.
ROCKY Atomic Burn
- Rocky slides in, then stands around while his chest unlatches and
a gun stored inside of it comes out and fires a projectile. It
takes some time for Rocky to actually attack once he's onscreen.
RYUJI YAMAZAKI Kubi Sarashi
- Ryuuji leaps in with a jumping punch. Upon landing, he does a Bai
Gaeshi-type arm swing. If it connects, he picks up his opponent by
the neck and holds them there. It's easy for the jumping punch and
Bai Gaeshi to not combo, and none of Ryuji's attacks do any damage.
SHERMIE Shermie Spiral Hold
- Shermie leaps to your opponent's location, and attempts to grab them
(this is blockable). If she's successful, she holds them on the
ground for a moment. Her attacks inflict no damage.
SHISHI-OU King Rush
- He runs in and does his "King Straight" (a straight punch). If he
hits someone while dashing, he does a 4-hit combo (for 5 hits total).
SHO KIRISHIMA Sexual Charisma Dynamite: Remember KOF
- Sho dives into the midst of the screen. If the dive misses, he does
a taunt that drains your opponent's Power Gauge by three parts. If
the dodge hits, he follows with a straight punch that can combo for
2 hits (it can also miss, though).
YASHIRO NANAKASE Missile Might Bash
- Yashiro leaps to where you are with a Sledgehammer attack (although
this is not an overhead). He then does a short version of his
"Million Bash Stream."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANIAC STRIKER LIST
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section lists each character, the name of their Striker Action,
and what they actually do when summoned. Characters are listed in
alphabetical order.
ANOTHER IORI 311 Shiki: Tsumagushi
- Leaps in with a forward-facing Yuri Ori and follows with a Tsumagushi
attack. Both hits can combo together.
COOL CHOI Shissou Hishou Zan
- Dashes in with a three-hit slash attack. If the dash animation hits,
only one of the slashes will hit for 2 hits total.
G-MANTLE G-Mantle Shot
- Leaps to your location and throws three roses at the floor, which
can combo for 3 hits.
NEO & GEO Countdown Three
- Leaps to your location and counts down to zero before they both
explode. Can be blocked.
RUGAL BERNSTEIN Genocide Cutter
- Leaps to your opponent's location and does a 2-hit Genocide Cutter.
SAISHU KUSANAGI Kusanagi no Jin
- Saishu leaps in and throws a Yami Barai. If your opponent is in the
air, he does a 2-hit Oniyaki instead.
SMART CHANG Tekkyuu Dai Kaiten
- Chang leaps in with his iron ball (this can hit). Upon landing, he
spins the iron ball around while advancing forward (this can hit
multiple times, or combo for a 2-hit combo). He then slams his ball
into the ground, which can hit an opponent who is on the floor (and
can combo from the ball spin).
UNKNOWN Unknown
- Ryuhaku Todo leaps to your location with a jump kick, then performs
a "Kasane Ate." Both hits can combo. It's Todo, afterall, what did
you expect him to do? He only ever had one move!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLITCHES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backstep Jump
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When using Iori, tap 44 to backstep and hold 4 while pressing B. Not
only will Iori do the Yuri Ori, but he'll jump back much further than
he would during a normal backstep.
This trick can also be done using Kyo's Naraku Otoshi or Mai's Dairin
Fuusha Otoshi, although they won't move back as far as Iori will. You
need to input the command as soon as possible for it to work well, so
try entering the command as 4412+A (for Mai) or 4412+C (for Kyo), so
that the backstep command smoothly interrupts into the attack animation.
Gain Power Gauge Energy From Throws
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy retains his old throw glitch from '98. Normally, using normal
throws does not earn any Power Gauge energy, but once you've gained any
amount of power in your Power Gauge, Andy's (C) throw starts earning
energy on the "ground kick" part of his throw. This effect ends if
your Power Gauge is emptied (but you can earn more power to start up
the glitch again).
Other simple glitches involve Ralf's (C) throw earning Power Gauge
energy when it connects, and Ramon's Tiger Spin DM earning Power Gauge
energy if it misses.
Short Input Command
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In previous KoFs, some commands could be shortened to make them easier
to perform. The only one that is still in 2000 is the shortened "Hou'ou
Kyaku" input. Instead of using "21416+K", you can simply use "246+K."
This can also be applied to Terry's Power Geyser.
Unblockable Psycho Ball
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a few characters had "unblockable fireball" tricks in the previous
KOF games, but now only Athena can still do this. Throw an (A) Psycho
Ball Attack at your opponent, then do either version of the Psychic
Teleport as soon as you recover. Your opponent will stop guarding just
as the projectile reaches them.
