X-MEN VS STREET FIGHTER. This list will also include combos and best counters
for each character. I'll also try to include the best tag teams for most or
all the characters here.Anyway, lets get started...

CHEATS IN THE GAME
==================
There is a handy little cheat you can do for this game that allows you to get
a FULL SUPER BAR, and change the game form EX to ORIGINAL game. Here's how you
get it...
1.) Go to the main menu with the BATTLE MODE/VERSUS MODE/ETC.
2.) On that screen, real quickly press T, T, L, C, L1
3.) You should get a screen to come up with 2 new options
4.) If you don't see it, you didn't do the code fast enough, do it fast
5.) You cannot save the options on the memory card
As you can see, it's not that hard to do, but as mention, you must do the code
pretty fast for the cheat to come up. Just so you know, when you select FULL
on the HYPER COMBO GAUGE option, your SUPER BAR will quickly fill up anytime
during battle so you don't have to wait to do super moves. It will work for
ANY mode you play in so you can beat the BATTLE MODE game a little more
easily. If you select the ORIGINAL for the GAME MODE option, it will not
exactly allow you to play as the original arcade game. I know that this is a
major bummer, but it doesn't exactly work that way. This option mostly works
on a 2P player game. Although it will work like the arcade, it's still far
from the original game. Here's how it works if you select the ORIGINAL mode...
1.) Start a 2P game
2.) Have player 1 select the characters
3.) Now, player 2 must select the same characters in the opposite order
4.) EXAMPLE = P1 chose KEN/RYU, P2 has to choose RYU/KEN, IN THAT ORDER
5.) Now, start the game and if you want to switch plaers, press FP + RK
6.) This will allow you to switch the player you have during gameplay
FINAL NOTE 1
============
To do a DOUBLE TEAM HYPER ATTACK, it doesn't matter who you are playing as,
and as long as you have a LEVEL 2 super bar, press this, and you can then do
a DOUBLE TEAM HYPER ATTACK...
Double Team Hyper Attack = D, DF, F + FP + RK
YOU MUST HAVE A LEVEL 2 SPECIAL BAR FOR THIS TO WORK!!!
FINAL NOTE 2
============
If you are about to be hit with a special or normal move, there is a form of
an ALPHA COUNTER which allows you to use your tag team partner to counter
attack and prevet the on coming damage. Do do this, when your about to be hit
by a special or normal move, quickly do the following...
B, DB, D + FP + RK
This will bring in your partner in to knock out the one who is hitting you.
This acts as a counter move. Another thing you can do is if your about to be
thrown or slammed to the ground is press...
F + 3P rapidly
This will counter anyone who is throwing you. May have to press the 3P lots of
times, but this will work to.
FINAL NOTE 3
============
If you would like to TAUNT your opponent during a fight, you can press the
SELECT button, and your character will do a taunt.
FINAL NOTE 4
============
If you would like to do a super jump with any character, real quickly press...
DOWN, UP
on the joystick and you will fly high and do a super jump. You must be on the
ground for this to work.
THE CHARACTERS
==============
AKUMA
=====
[I know what your thinking, "Where is AKUMA on the select screen?" Well, lets
just keep it simple, just keep pressing UP, even if it is at the top of the
select screen, just press UP anyway at the character select screen and the
curser will go ABOVE the select screen and highlight AKUMA. Yes, it is that
SIMPLE.]
[If you want to fight AGAINST AKUMA, it doesn't matter if you do a HYPER move
on your first opponent to kill the opponent, but you must finish and kill the
second opponent with a HYPER move so that the background FLASHES bright when
you win. You must do this on every battle you have. When you do this correctly
you will then be up against AUKMA and M. BISON, instead of the usual MAGNETO
and M. BISON.]
AKUMA is a very agile and good player if you are a good KEN and RYU player as
well. AKUMA is in fact a near IDENTICLE for KEN. [I'll explain later] So far
though, AKUMA is the only character with the most HYPER MOVES in the game.
This also leads to many possible counters and combos for this agile character.
ENDING = During a battle, Akuma steps in and disturbs Wolverine. Wolverine
looks at Akuma and asks him about his past. Although Akuma hears him, he tells
him that if he wants to know, he will have to kill Akuma. Wolverine gets a
hungry look in his eye and then rushes at AKUMA. They are now locked in battle
with each other, and both will like it.

CAMMY
=====
Cammy is one fast character in this game. She doesn't have any fireball
attacks, but has lots of cancel out moves like her Cannon Counter, or Cannon
Spike. Also watch out for her HYPER moves, she is quick, and her HYPER moves
work well with combos.
ENDING = After her battle, her head goes blank for some reason. after a while,
she wakes up to a sound of a voice who asks her to join their group called
"THE HAND". Cammy gets confused for a sec, then Psylocke quickly knocks out
all the people around cammy. She steps near cammy and then cammy asks her what
she should do. Psylocke just tells her to follow her own destiny. In doing so,
cammy goes out into the world. 3 years later, she joins a group of mercenaries
that help fight against evil. (If you have seen the ending for cammy in the
"SUPER STREET FIGHTER II" game, you would know the group)

CHARLIE
=======
Charlie is in fact GUILE in every aspect. This is the guy who was GUILEs
friend that died during STREET FIGHTER II. "So why's he still alive?" Mostly
because GUILE still doesn't come into play at this time. The only difference
about him now is the fact that when he does a Flash Kick, he also launches a
diagonal Sonic Boom type attack which counts as 3 hits sometimes. The one
thing that does make him different now is that if you throw a slow Sonic Boom
and follow it, you can in fact close in for a throw. [Since the opponent will
naturally block the Sonic Boom and not expect the throw in there]
ENDING = Charlie is taken captive to an unknown lab and starts the process of
a deadly experiment. Later on, Guile (From Street Fighter II) finds Charlie's
dog tags and vows revenge to who ever took Charlie.

CHUN LI
=======
[If you would like to play as the ALPHA Chun Li, at the character select
screen, highlight Chun Li, then hold the START button for 5 seconds, then
press any ACTION button and she will turn into her ALPHA outfit. All the moves
below will still work for her.]
Chun Li is another character that has not really changed much since her last
appearance. Although, she can now do her Lightning Leg in the air for better
air combos than ever before. Plus, her Axe Kick can now be used as a juggle
effect.
ENDING = After her battle, Chun Li is greeted by the X-MEN team and is asked
to join them and teach them about her fighting style. Some of the other X-MEN
team start to drool over her good looks.

Super Burst Kick = Best when done close, or as part of a combo.
Super Air Kick = Best used as an air counter or as part of a combo, close
CYCLOPS
=======
Cyclops is in fact a mutant version of KEN and RYU in some respect. This
character has not changed much form the X-MEN fighting game, so if you liked
him before, then you will enjoy him here.
ENDING = The X-MEN team are finally happy that the war versus Apocalypes is
over and Cyclops himself thanks Ryu for his help in the battle. Then they
split up and go their directions as the X-MAN team go to find new battles to
face, Ryu also finds himself a new challenge for himself.

DHALSIM
=======
Dhalsim is in fact a little better tuned up from the first time. He is a
little quicker and more agile than people think. He even has a few new tricks
up his sleeve to keep people at bay. This character is mostly ment for keep
away than anything else, but his move more than make up for his lack of
abilities. He still has his RK slide so he can counter fireballs.
ENDING = He is in a constant state of meditation, then he wakes up to find
himself at his home with his child and wife about to have dinner. He tries to
tell his family about his dream, but no one wants to listen. (Weird ending)

BEST PLACE TO STAND FOR HYPER MOVES
===================================
Yoga Inferno = Stand a little closer than full screen, doesn't reach full
Yoga Slam Attack = Stand close and best done when the opponent is in the air
GAMBIT
======
Gambit is actually a cool character to play. His attacks are a little bit on
the slow side, but he is a fairly average character. His moves are more of a
keep away style than an onslaught attack. Plus the fact that his FP hit is a
good ranged attack, he can play the best keep away from anyone else.
ENDING = While Rogue was sitting at the hill side thinking about how she would
love to be human, Gambit steps in and tells her that he likes her just the
way she is.

BEST PLACE TO STAND FOR HYPER MOVES
===================================
Royal Flush = This can be done anywhere, as long as it connects.
JUGGERNAUT
==========
Juggernaut, I have to admit, is a great character. Anyone who says differently
probably doesn't know the fact that he can be if you know how. Let me explain.
You see, even though he is a big character and a big target, he has his up
side to. Lets just say, I am Juggernaut, and you are attacking me with a jump
kick. At the same time, I am doing the Earthquake Attack. Even though you kick
me, the kick will NOT cancel out the Earthquake Attack, so you just kicked me
for the fact of taking more damage for yourself, than I did. If any of you
meet me in real life, and want to find out how Juggernaut is a cool character,
just let me know and I'll show you PERSONALLY how Juggernaut is a great
character. Plus, for as big as he is, he is rather fast and agile, but he lags
a lot after his moves go off.
ENDING = After he beats Apocalyps, he stands over his fallen body and lets him
know that he is not as dumb as people believe he is. Juggernaut then continues
to bore Apocalyps to DEATH with all his stories about how he outsmarted some
characters in his life.

========================================================
Head Crush Attack = D, DF, F + 2P
BEST PLACE TO STAND FOR HYPER MOVES
===================================
Head Crush Attack = Best if done close or as combo, but will go full screen
KEN
===
Ken is just as best as Ryu is, but there are a few noticable differences in
Ken and Ryu. Ken is best for his multi hit Hurricane Kick and Flaming Uppercut
when you use the FP. The only new thing is that his air fireball is fired at
an angle like Akuma's is. Now he is just as agile as Amuka, and the moves are
not that much different from each other.
ENDING = Ken and his son are playing the same game you are, X-MEN VS. STREET
FIGHTER. The boy tells Ken that he is lousey at this game, Ken replies by
asking him how he knew so much, the boy says by watching you. Then the mom
calls them to dinner and they leave the game for another time.

M. BISON

M. Bison is very strong and doesn't have MUCH of a lag, but there is some lag
when he performs a special move. M. Bison can be cheap, but can also be an
easy target if you are not careful of the moves you perform.
ENDING = Bison stares down at Magneto, laughing at him. He tells Magneto that
he is nothing compared to Bison's power and warns him not to cross Shadowloo
again. The world warriors are together again.

MAGNETO
=======
Magneto is a little different from his X-MEN counter part. He has lost a lot
of the moves he had in that game. Although he is a nice character, he does lag
a little at times. Best used as a keep away character using his E-M Disruptor
or his Air Blast Beam.
ENDING = After he beats M. Bison, Magneto warns him that his powers are
nothing compared to his. After that, Magneto is greeted by Sagat, Vega, and
Balrog from the World Warriors and asks Magneto if they could join him in his
quest for World Domination. Magneto agrees to this and now the world fears a
NEW World Warriors Champions - Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and now Magneto.
MOVES FOR MAGNETO

MagneticShockwave = Will go full screen, but more effective up close
*Magnetic Tempest = Best if done very close and opponent is dizzy
ROGUE
=====
Rogue is a very agile and quick character to play, although she has no
personal projectile attack. Most of her arsenal of attacks are multi punches
and kicks with a special Kiss Stealer which she is able to steal opponents
special moves like fireball abilities and uppercuts, and get a new HYPER move
from one of the characters. Here is a list of what powers she can steal after,
and ONLY after, she does her Power Drain...
Akuma = Light Of Death Hyper move [Must use the same move as Akuma's]
Cammy = Cannon Drill
Charlie = Sonic Boom
Chun Li = Fireball
Cyclops = Optic Blast
Dhalsim = Yoga Flame
Gambit = Kinetic Card
Juggernaut = Earthquake
Ken = Flaming Uppercut
M. Bison = Psycho Shot
Magneto = Hyper Grab
Rogue = What's the point, your just making her weaker, that's it
Sabretooth = Berserker Claw
Storm = Typhoon
Wolverine = Berserker Barrage
Zangief = Spinning Piledriver
ENDING = After her fight, M. Bison confronts her and tells Rogue that he knows
how to make her human and asks Rogue to join his team. Rogue knows that Bison
cannot be trusted and just tells him that is his team not human anyways. Later
on, she sits by a hill side with Chun Li. Rogue asks Chun Li what it's like
to be human. Chun Li doesn't understand the question and says that if you call
throwing fireballs a human. (For those of you who don't understand, Rogue is
cursed with the power to absorb peoples energy and minds, she cannot control
the abilities that well, that is why she kisses you in the game. Kissing
someone will drain a character of some or most of their abilities and energy
for a while, she does not know how to keep her powers under control. That is
why she asks this question. If you want to know more about Rogue, go rent the
X-MEN cartoon series and/or read the X-MEN comic book series and find out more
about her.)
MOVES FOR ROGUE
===============
Throw = [Close to opponent] F + FP
*Fury Punch = D, DF, F + #P

BEST PLACE TO STAND FOR HYPER MOVES
===================================
Hyper Fury Punch = Best if done up close and as part of a combo
RYU
===
He has been in Every STREET FIGHTER game so far, just like Ken has. Ryu has
finally mastered a new Fireball technique wich is twice the size of his first
firebell he used to do. Although he can do the Fireball in the air, it will
only go straight across the screen and not at a downward angle, but his HYPER
move can be done in the air though, so he gains an advantage at the same time.
ENDING = Cyclops thanks Ryu for his help with the battle and they both hope
to meet each other again. But Ryu, at the moment, decides to search for a
better challenge, one that will allow him to reach his destiny.

SABRETOOTH
==========
Sabretooth is like Wolverine, but does have one advantage over him. He has a
projectile move, so this makes him more deadly. He is not quite as fast as
Wolverine is, but his strength makes up for that. Play this character like
Wolverine for best results, keep the opponent guessing at every moment.
ENDING = Sabretooth and Birdie manage to kill everyone in the end, except for
one who he intended to keep and save for last, which is Wolverine.

Hyper Gun Birdie = Stand anywhere, as long as it connects
Weapon X Dash = Best when used as part of combo, stand up close
STORM
=====
Storm is a nice character to have with almost any team. Her attacks are mostly
multihit. Although she has learned a few more tricks from the X-MEN game, she
is not that much different now. She still has the ability to float in the air
and can still do her air moves like before. She also still has both her HYPER
moves from the first game. The only problem is that her Hailstorm is not as
powerful as last time and doesn't last as long as before either.
ENDING = During a battle, Storm notices Forge hurt in battle. Storm rushes to
his rescue and helps him up. Forge returns the kindness with his thanks and
a smile. But as they are about to (kiss?), a creature of unknown power rises
and they choose to wait until they can beat the creature to get back to what
they were doing.

WOLVERINE
=========
Wolverine is a great character. He is very agile and has great reach with his
claws. Okay, so he lacks a projectile move of some type, but his speed and
agility more than makes up for that. For those of you who know how to play as
Wolverine from the X-men game, he has a few modifications in this game. First
off, his Berserker Barrage is now a normal move for him. That's right, he will
do automatically 9 hits on you if he connects. One thing to remember about the
Berserker Barrage is that when you execute the move, press the punches rapidly
in order to do 9 hits, regardless of the fact that the opponent blocks. Also
remember that he will be left open for a shot after the move is finished, so
be ready for that.
ENDING = Jubilee steps in on Wolverine and asks why he let Ryu go. Wolverine
responds by saying that Ryu is a respectable person, with the dignity and
honor of a great warrior. After that, Jubilee and Wolverine both head off to
seek new adventure.

Claw Stab = [Close to opponent] F + FP
Berserker Barrage = D, DF, F + #P [Press punch rapidly for more hits]

BEST PLACE TO STAND FOR HYPER MOVES
===================================
Hyper Barrage = Stand close, best used as part of a combo
Weapon X = Stand close, best used as part of a combo
ZANGIEF
=======
Geez, what a slow and useless character. This guy is a push over when it comes
to easy targets. Even when he executes a move, he LAGS big time. Only use him
if you are bored and don't know who else to play when you beat this game about
50 times. For those of you who are Zangief masters, then you will love him in
this version. He has an air Spinning Lariat and some really cool new moves to.
Plus, some of his moves can't be knocked out all the time, like when he is
doing his spinning piledriver. Sometimes fireballs have no effect on him
either.
ENDING = There's a weird blizzard in the land of Russia, and at the same time,
Omega Red is going on a rampage in Russia. Zangief asks Colossus for help in
disposing of Omega Red. Colossus gladly helps Zangief out.

APOCALYPS
=========
GEEZ, this guy is a CHEEZE BALL, although, at the same time, he is a push over
compared to the other bosses that CAPCOM has come out with. This guy cannot
block at all, so all you have to do is hit him with everything you got. Of
course at the same time you have to block his other CHEEZE moves like the
FLAMING SMASH, LASER SATELITES, POWER CANNON, MACE POUND, and the ever so
deadly HYPER DRILL. One thing I forgot to mention, HE HAS NO ENERGY BAR, SO
STAY ON THE ATTACK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THANK YOU. What follows is some tips
on beating this MAMMOTH GIANT.
1.) Pick characters that have a mix of multi-hits or play with characters you
know combos to. This will be the real key to beating this character.
2.) Power is everything, build your SUPER bar up quick and use them right away
on him. Of course make sure you are close enough to him to hit with this move.
3.) If necessary, use the DOUBLE TEAM HYPER ATTACK to do even MORE damage to
this character.
4.) As mentioned, use characters that have HI power, multi-hit, or combo based
system on this BIG guy. The PERFECT team to go against this guy is Chun Li and
Wolverine for the Lightning Leg, and the Berserker Barrage attacks, then save
the HYPER moves for the FINAL BLOW on this BIG guy. With these 2 characters,
he will go down fast.
5.) If you see a crosshair aiming at you, BLOCK right away. He will attack
with his should cannons. If you see satilites, jump or super jump and destroy
them, they are also responsible for those blue beams you see now and then. If
you see his giant hand turn into a giant drill, SUPER JUMP OUT OF THE WAY, DO
NOT BLOCK THIS MOVE!!! If you block this move, he will SUCK YOUR ENERGY BIG
TIME. THIS MOVE TAKES OFF ABOUT 40%-60% OF YOUR HEALTH IF BLOCKED!!! If he
connects with the giant drill, HE WILL DRAIN YOUR ENERGY TO ABOUT 70% IF YOU
HAVE FULL, BUT DOWN TO NOTHING IF YOU TOOK DAMAGE!!! This is the one thing to
look for when you fight this big guy. Yes, you can tell if he is gonna use the
giant drill if you see he hands change and he is backing up at the same time.
This means he is going to ram the drill in you if he connects it to you. Once
you see him do this, SUPER JUMP at the right time (best if done while he is
off screen) and you will jump over him while he is using the drill on you.
6.) Do watch out for his FLAMING SMASH. This move is a more advanced version
of Juggernauts Earth Quake Attack, only it does more damage, and the flames
rise out of the ground and can hit you in the air.
7.) Most of the time, the best place to stand is behind him. He does not turn
around to face you, but he can slide left and right while in that position.
So, when you have a good chance, get on the other side of him. This way, his
FLAMING SMASH cannot connect to hit you, nor will the HYPER DRILL.
8.) One thing that you can't do with some characters is use their HYPER moves
on this guy. Mostly because some of the characters have hyper moves where they
have to literally get close and touch them and do like a 10-15 hit HYPER move
on this GIANT. Here is a list of who can't use their HYPER moves on this
guy...
ROGUE = All she has to do is touch someone, so why can't you use it?
ZANGIEF = How do you piledrive someone who's several times taller than him?
WOLVERINE = Why can't you use his Weapon X attack on this GIANT?
DHALSIM = How do you multislam a guy as big as the boss?
SABRETOOTH = Somehow you can't use either of his X dashes?
9.) If you see some satiellites flying around near you, you can take them out
by hitting them a few times. In fact, it's a good Idea to do so because he
needs 2 of them to fire his laser at you constantly. So, if you see something
flying around near you, destroy it as soon as possible to avoid even more
damage to you.
10.) There is a way to play as this boss in a 2 player game. Yes, there is a
catch to doing this. Here is a step by step method of being able to play as
the huge boss in this game...
A.) Set the difficulty to any level you want then start a normal 1P game
B.) Get to APOCALYPS without using a continue
C.) Beat APOCALYPS and your tag partner in the final match
D.) If you got all the way through without using a continue, start a 2P game
E.) Highlight AKUMA and hold the SELECT button for about 5 seconds
F.) Now, press any attack button and you will now play as APOCALYPS
Just so you know, either player 1 or 2 can play as APOCALYPS, but only one
player can play him, not both players. Just so you know, once you are able to
play as APOCALYPS, you can save the info on your memory card and save it for
later. The next time you want to play as the boss, just load up the file and
there you go.
CLOSING COMMENTS ABOUT THIS GAME
================================
To be totally honest with you about this game, I am actually disappointed in
the way the PSX version was made. Here are my PRO's and CON's and will rate
this game as I see fit. Keep in mind that you may have a different opinion
about what I might say, so please do not E-mail me saying you disagree about
what I might have said. Here we go...
PRO'S
=====
1.) Near arcade translation with a few excaptions
2.) All sound effects are in the game, this gives it a plus
3.) CD quality sound and music
4.) All the secrets from the arcade are in the game so this is a major plus
CON'S
=====
1.) What's with that slowdown during the game?
2.) Some of the animation is sluggish and yucky
3.) What happened to the SWITCH PARTNERS during gameplay feature like arcade?
4.) The introduction is a little different from the arcade
5.) I thought this was suppose to be an ARCADE translation?
RATING
======
Here is my rating for this game, it's rated from a scale of 1-5, 5 being the
best...
GRAPHICS = 3
SOUND = 4
CONTROL = 3
UNIQUENESS = 2
OVERALL = 3
DIFFICULTY = ADJUSTABLE
GRAPHICS = Geez, what were they thinking or programming when they made this
game? The animation was choppy at times and there was a LOT of slowdown during
certain parts of the game. a 32-BIT system should NOT have this much slowdown
at all. I mean, come on, look how well STREET FIGHTER EX and KING OF FIGHTERS
plays on the PSX. Sorry people, but in this area, the game just sucks when it
comes to animation. If the game was a little faster, and the animation was
less choppy, I would have given it a better rating. It really needs to be
fixed up big time. I just hope that MARVEL VS. STREET FIGHTER will be better
than this.
SOUND = Well, maybe the graphics are poor, but the sounds were great. All the
sounds from the arcade were in thie game. Plus, the music is CD quality and
great to listen to either during a game or just for listening.
CONTROL = Well, all the moves were there, moves were easy to pull off, but
my playablilty was poor due to that slowdown during gameplay. Sometimes, I
wasn't sure who would get off the move first because of the slowdown. There
were just times when I would be playing a normal game at normal difficulty,
but seem to feel as though I was playing the super hard difficulty.
UNIQUENESS = Sorry, but when you removed that SWITCH PARTNERS from the PSX
version, that just really makes it a NOT SO PERFECT translation. When I heard
that this game was coming out for some systems, I was expecting the SWITCH
PARTNERS ability, but now that I notice that you can't do that, it just sucks
even worse than the animation. Although I have this game, I am not real proud
to even own it. I just keep it because it's part of the STREET FIGHTER
collection, and THAT'S IT.
OVERALL = I am sad to say that this game was not what I was expecting when I
first heard that it was coming out for PSX. I really expected a LOT more for
this game. All I can say to you is that if you do get this game, only get it
because your a STREET FIGHTER fan and you want this game as part of the
collection of other CAPCOM games.
SOME CLOSING NOTES TO KNOW ABOUT

range of possible teams to play with. So, this does add some replay value to
this game at the same time. If you would like to contact me, you may do so at
