Kim's Storyline:
Kim is a very kind and honorable person, as well as being a master of Tae Kwon
Do. He uses his Tae Kwon Do to fight for Justice. His goal, is to rid the world
of evil, where he sees fit! Kim has his own Dojo, where he teaches his students
Tae Kwon Do, as well for his two sons, Kim Jae Hoon and Kim Dong Hwan. Kim is
also happily married to his beautiful wife, Myun. Being the current World Tae
Kwon Do Champion, Kim enters numerous tournaments, such as The King of Fighters
to look for challenges, meeting new faces, and ridding the tournaments of
whatever evil surfaces from the shadows. Kim is great at reforming people who
were once evil. His two students/partners (Chang Koehean and Choi Bounge) for
the King of Fighters Tournaments, were once criminals. But, after some hard
training/torture, their reformed from the ways of evil. That's Kim's goals in
the KoF tournaments, reforming his students and teaching his ways of justice.
In 1994, Kim first introduced his students/partners into the team tournaments
of KoF. Since the rules changed because of the new host of the tournament,
Rugal Bernstein. After the tournament, Choi and Chang demanded prize money for
the tournament. Kim felt that he felled in training his students, so he told
them that they needed harder training for the next tournament. This is were the
torturing began. In 1995, Kim told his partners after the tournament that they
would train even harder for the next tournament. In 1996, at the end of the
tournament, Kim told Chang and Choi that they were reformed and free to go.
After all the years of torture, Kim let them go free. So Chang and Choi were
both full of joy! Each of them saying that they couldn't believe Kim let them
go. They were also saying stuff about Kim in which he overheard and got pretty
angry at them both. In 1997, the whole Orochi crisis got out of hand. But in
the end, Justice would prevail. Good always wins over evil. In 1998, it was the
year of resting and training for Kim. But, one day, Kim was visited by his old
friend/rival, Jhun Hoon. They both argued about the ways of Justice and which
methods they use to obtain it. So, Kim would train Chang, as for Jhun would
train Choi. The goal was to see who could reform the students the best. In
1999, the rules were changed once again. A new host took over the tournament.
This year, it was not 3 on 3. It was now 4 on 4. Of course 3 poeple would still
duke it out, but the 4th person would be a striker for the team. Meaning, they
could help their teamates a certain amount of times. At the end of the KoF'99
tournament, Kim and Jhun decided that they weren't reformed yet. Jhun told Choi
that he would see to him, as Kim would see to Chang. So it was time to go back
to more hard training. The torture never stops for poor Chang and Choi. A year
passed by, as Kim was ready for the King of Fighters 2000 tournament. This will
be the year of Justice, as the Korean Team gets prepared for the tournament of
the New Millennium!

Descriptions of Basic Commands:

Falling Recovery Roll- AB before hitting the ground
Whenever hit by an attack that knocks you to the ground, you can recover before
hitting the pavement. This command will only work if hit by basic attacks,
special attacks, DM's, and SDM's that knock ya on to the ground.

Throw Escape- any button when grabbed
This does not work in the air, against Benimaru, Mai, Athena, Yuri, Clark, and
Leona, since they all have air throws. GROUND ONLY!

Knockdown Attack- CD (air)
If hit by this attack, the opponent will hit the ground. Think of this as a
Fierce Attack. Not even the falling recovery roll will work after being hit by
the Knockdown Attack.

Emergency Attack Avoidance Forward/Back- AB, f + AB, b + AB
Just like in KoF'98, using this command will enable your character to AVOID an
attack from the opponent. Your character is INVINCIBLE for that breif moment of
rolling. Remember though, you can be thrown or hit after the roll.

Guard Escape Roll Forward/Back- when blocking, AB, f + AB, b + AB (requires 1
stock of the Power Gauge)
When blocking an attack, your character will roll forward or back from the
opponent. This move can be used to distance yourself, if being pressure
attacked.

Guard Knockdown Attack- when blocking, CD (requires 1 stock of the Power Gauge)
When blocking an attack, your character will perform the CD Attack, which will
knock the opponent away from you. The only problem with the attack is that it
does no damage to the opponent. Great to distance yourself from the opponent
though.

Striker Call- BC (requires 1 Striker Bomb)
A Striker is the 4th character of the team, which is assigned to HELP/AID your
character in the fight. Strikers play a big part in battle. Each Striker has a
different ability to help the character. Unlike in KoF'99, where you could only
call out your striker when on the ground. The striker system has changed, so
that you can call out the striker when in the air, knocked down, after DM's,
attacking, or getting attacked. You are limited 3-5 striker bombs pre match.

Striker Replenish- Start (requires 1 stock of the Power Gauge)
Another new addition to KoF2000, in which you can get your Striker Bombs back.
If you have a stock on your Power Gauge, you will replace your stock with a
Striker Bomb. Only use if needed.

Counter Mode- ABC (consumes all 3 stocks of the Power Gauge)
When activated, the opponent will fall to the ground and your character will
start to flash RED for at least 20 seconds. Once Counter Mode wears off, the
Power Gauge won't come back for another 10 seconds. In Counter Mode, this is
what it has to offer.....
-Attacks inflict more damage.
-You can use DM's all ya want.
-You can use Guard Escape Rolling Forward/Back and Guard Knockdown Attack all
ya want.
-Can supercancel basic and special moves into DM's.
-Some DM's come out faster than other DM's.

Armor Mode- BCD (consumes all 3 stocks of the Power Gauge)
When activated, your character will start to flash YELLOW for 10 seconds. Once
Armor Mode wears off your Power Gauge won't come back for another 10 seconds.
You can't perform DM's in Armor Mode. In Armor Mode, this is what it has to
offer.....
-Attacks inflict more damage.
-You have Super Armor.
-Take no Block damage while blocking special moves, and DM/SDM's.
-You can use Guard Escape Rolling Forward/Back and Guard Knockdown Attack all
ya want.
-Can't be knocked down from most attacks.

Desperation Moves & Super Desperation Moves-
DM's and SDM's are your Super Moves. In order to use DM/SDM's, you must fill up
the Power Gauge to stock a DM. You can store up to 3 stocks. Only certain DM's
can be SDM's. SDM's take 3 stocks to use and must be done by presing 2 buttons,
instead of one button.



IV. Kim's Basic Moves

A (weak punch):
standing- Standard Jab which reaches out forward and hits mid-range. Comes out
fast.

crouching- Low Jab which comes out fast and can be canceled into Kuuren Geki or
Haki Kyaku.

jumping- 45 degree angle downward jab which can be used as a cross-up. The only
move that can be linked with this jab is Standing C.

close- Standard Jab which hits high. Comes out fast and can be canceled into
Kuuren Geki or Haki Kyaku.


B (weak kick):
standing- High Snap Kick that comes out fast.

crouching- Quick Low Kick which comes out fast and can be canceled into
standing A or croching A/B. This is how you'll be able to start crouching
combos with Kim.

jumping- Vertical High Kick which comes out fast. Decent jump-in to start a
crouching combo. Not much use for it though.

close- An AUTO 2-hit of a Low and High Kick which comes out fast and can be
canceled on the first hit with either Kuuren Geki, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan,
Neri Chagi, and Ryuusei Raku. It can also be canceled on the second hit with
the moves I stated above, except for Ryuusei Raku. Best followed up with B Haki
Kyaku.


C (strong punch):
standing- Mid-Range Side Kick which comes out slow. Decent poke attack.

crouching- Rising High Kick which comes out fast and can be canceled with
Kuuren Geki, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Hien Zan, Ryuusei Raku, and Hou'ou Hiten
Kyaku! Great anti-air attack as well.

jumping- Vertical Front Snap Kick. Comes out fast, but useless none the less.
Standing C is the only thing that can combo in.

diagonal jumping- Upside down kick which comes out fast and good jump-in for a
combo starter.

close- An AUTO 2-hit Mid-Range Side Kick which comes out fast and can be cancel
on the first hit either Kuuren Geki, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Neri Chagi, and
Ryuusei Raku! Another great combo starter.


D (strong kick):
standing- Spinning Roundhouse Kick which comes out fast. Not much use for this
move.

crouching- Standard Sweep Kick with great reach and speed. Can cancel Kuuren
Geki, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Hien Zan, Neri Chagi, and Ryuusei Raku if sweep
doesn't hit. Doing this will allow you to catch the oppoenet off guard, which
you can score free hits.

jumping- Vertical Roundhouse Kick which comes out fast. Not much use for this
move. Can link up Standing C to start a combo.

diagonal jumping- Standard Drop Kick and his best jump-in to start combos. This
is also his cross-up move. If you charge down while doing the drop kick, you
can perform Hien Zan immediatly after ya land. Good air to air attack.

close- Fast Axe Kick and AUTO 2-hit which can be canceled on the first hit into
either Kuuren Geki, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Neri Chagi, Ryuusei Raku, and
Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku! You can also cancel on the second hit with ONLY Hangetsu
Zan.

AB (Emergency Attack Avoidance Forward/Back)
Kim will do a cartwheel forward or back to avoid the attack. Very Fast and
Invincible at the start up of the move.

CD- (Knockdown Attack)
On the ground Kim pushes himself back for a Forward Kick. In the air, Kim does
a Snapping Side Kick. This move is best used in the air. It's safer and will
score you some hits over the opponent. Great jump-in too.

-Striker Actions
Striker Attack- Hishou Kyaku
Striker Replenish- Start
Another Striker- Kim Sue Il


Move Descriptions:

Kubi Kime Otoshi- when close, f or b + C
Kim will grab the opponent by the shoulders, then putting his legs between the
opponents neck, while slamming the opponent to the ground.

Sakkyaku Nage- when close, f or b + D
Kim will grab the opponent by the leg and shoulder, then tossing the opponent
across the screen. Great throw to distance yourself from the opponent.

Kuuren Geki- f + A
Kim will do a forward hopping kick, then finishes it with another forward spin
kick. Kuuren Geki has great reach! It goes past half screen. Kuuren Geki can
also be canceled on the first hit with either Hishou Kyaku or Hou'ou Kyaku.
This move plays a BIG FACTOR in Kim's combo's.

Neri Chagi- f + B
Kim's overhead axe kick which does 2 hits, high and low. Neri Chagi comes out
slow, so be careful. The only use for it would have to be, when your opponent
turtles a lot. If ya see the opponent ducking a lot, do Neri Chagi. This move
can be canceled from close B/C/D, but won't connect, do to it's slowness. If
you somehow hit Neri Chagi when opponent doesn't block after B/C/D, you can
cancel Neri Chagi's first or last hit with ONLY Hangetsu Zan.

Hangetsu Zan- qcb + B/D
Kim flips forward while doing an overhead hit with each foot and ending in a
split position. This move comes out fast. The B version has very short
distance, while the D version goes half screen. Hangetsu Zan can be canceled
from close C (only on first hit.) and close D (first or second hit). In Counter
Mode, Hangetsu Zan can be supercanceled into Hou'ou Kyaku!

Haki Kyaku- d, d + B/D
Kim uses his back foot to stomp on the ground, as the whole background shakes.
Both B/D versions come out fast, but the wave around the kick is how far it
goes. Haki Kyaku eats up ground projectiles, but it's the timing of the kick
that will stop them. Haki Kyaku can be supercanceled if close enough to the
opponent into Hou'ou Kyaku, with or without Counter Mode.

Hien Zan- charge d, u + B/D (Tenshou Kyaku d + D follow up after D Hien Zan)
Kim does a somersault kick straight up in the air. Decent anti-air attack, but
hard to combo off of, unless your close or in the corner. The B version has
great recovery time, where the D version doesn't. The D Hien Zan can be
followed up with d + D Tenshou Kyaku. Tenshou Kyaku is an upside down overhead
hit. This move will give ya extra damage if followed up.

Hishou Kyaku- in air, qcf + B/D
Kim does a series of bicyle kicks 30/45 degrees downward from the air. This is
a great move because the damage and recovery time. The speed is a plus as well.
Hishou Kyaku can cross-up as well. Kim also has an infinite off this move, more
on that later though. In Counter Mode, Hishou Kyaku can be supercanceled into
Hou'ou Kyaku! You can supercancel during Hishou Kyaku or on the last hit of it.
You must be fast though.

Ryuusei Raku- charge b, f + B/D
Kim will slide across the screen with one leg, and finishing with an overhead
hit with the other leg. This move comes out fast. The B version suffers range,
where the D version doesn't. The D version, Kim will slide full screen. In
Counter Mode, Ryuusei Raku can be supercanceled into Hou'ou Kyaku, but must be
done before the overhead hit comes out.

Taunt- Start
Kim gives a deep breath, while shruging his shoulders with his hands out. It's
kidda like he's telling you to come on or your boring.

Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku- qcf, qcf + B/D
Kim will do an Ascending High Kick to launch up the opponent in the air. Unlike
in KoF'99, in which Kim launched the opponent into the air than finished with a
Massive Neri Chagi. Now in KoF2000, you can follow up with anything from Hishou
Kyaku, Hien Zan, CD Attack, Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, and Hou'ou Kyaku!

Hou'ou Kyaku- qcb, db, f + B/D (air)
SDM Hou'ou Kyaku- qcb, db, f + BD (air)
Kim's classic DM since Fatal Fury 2 in which he does a long jump towards the
opponent. If connected, Kim does a series of kicks (he adds a punch at the
start), then finishes with Hien Zan. His SDM Hou'ou Kyaku will have the
background change Black and White, then Kim will do a longer version of kicks
and lifts the opponent with Kuu Sa Jin, to follow up with Hien Zan as the
finisher. Hou'ou Kyaku goes full screeen, so it covers distance. Hou'ou Kyaku
can be done in the air as well, instead of the long jump, he'll do a flying
long jump. Hou'ou Kyaku plays a big part Counter Mode, since must of his moves
can supercancel into it. Hou'ou Kyaku is extremely fast and can beat out some
moves at times. If Kim misses Hou'ou Kyaku, he gets this pissed off look and
can be hit or worse right after the opponent blocks. So be careful. :)

Striker Attack: Hishou Kyaku- BC (requires 1 Striker Bomb)
When you call Kim out, he will jump in the battle with Hishou Kyaku. If Hishou
Kyaku connects, Kim will follow up with Kuu Sa Jin. After Kuu Sa Jin, he will
ascend to the ground and taunt you before leaving the battle by leaping off the
screen. The reach for his Striker Attack is half screen, which is great. This
move juggles, so your character in the battle can follow up with anything they
want.

Striker Replenish- Start (requires 1 stock of the Power Gauge)
If you have 1 stock to use for a Striker Bomb, press Start. Kim will perform
his taunt and give yourself a Striker Bomb. Use wisely, because you can't
cancel outta a taunt like the previous KoF's.

Another Striker: Kim Sue Il
- BC (requires 1 Striker Bomb)
Another Striker is a new addition to KoF2000. Each character has Another
Striker besides themselves. So if ya pick Kim Kaphwan as your 4th person, you
have to decide will it be Kim Kaphwan or Kim Sue Il as your Striker? So your
choice is Kim Sue Il. Kim Sue Il runs out from the egde of the screen, doing
his rushing cane attack. If attack connects, he then does Hisen Zan (which is
his version of Hien Zan) and strikes a pose before leaving.

Who is Kim Sue Il?
Kim Sue Il is the Descendant of Kim Kaphwan. In 1996, Kim Sue Il starred in a
game called Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle, the sequel to Savage Reign. The
game took place in the future. Kim Sue Il is a Justice Fighting Cop, which has
Kim Kaphwan moves and Hou'ou Kyaku DM. Remember in KoF'98, Kim has Sanren Geki
(where he kicks three times). Well, Kim Sue Il had that move too. Another thing
about Kim Sue Il is his name. He is also known as Kim Young Mok in either the
American or Japanese Version of Kizuna Encounter. I think it's the American
Version.
