Well, this isn't a big FAQ, but it's a very fast reference to know
the Super cancel moves for each character in KOF 2001. We try than this
FAQ be totally confirmed. We have seen each super cancel in this FAQ in
video or where we play, if not, it will be marked.

Version 1.8
- WOOOOOW! Por fin! We're ready for the first relase in April!
Sorry about the spelling mistakes! Correct us!
Version 2.2

Also the Chin section was update, maybe some names are wrong
correct us!!
Version 3.0
- Corrections (Maxima, Kyo) and combos. Well, this is embarrasing,
there's a mistake in Clark supercancel, the Gattling Attack
(charge b, f + A/C) can't be canceled for any reason, maybe
was cancelable in a BETA version, but is our fault publish it in
the FAQ without absotule certain. We don't have proof of the
Goro, Chang and Choi's supercancels.
Check the notes on them.
Version 3.1 >> FINAL VERSION
- We hope this is the last update. Added Yuri, Chin and Seth
combos. Notes in Chang, Choi and Goro sections. Corrections
in Athena
Thanx to Vorapat!
