2. THE SYSTEM
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= Basic System =-
------------
Terminology:
f - forward b - back
u - up d - down
(forward refers to the right if your character is facing right, and the left
if your character is facing left; back is the opposite direction)
ub - up-back uf - up-forward
db - down-back df - down-forward
qcf - quarter circle forward (d,df,f)
qcb - quarter circle back (d,db,b)
hcf - half circle forward (b,db,d,df,f)
hcb - half circle back (f,df,d,db,b)
A - Light Punch C - Heavy Punch
B - Light Kick D - Heavy Kick
Start - Taunt/Provocation.
Press ub, u or uf rapidly to perform a hop.
Press ub, u or uf holding the button for a short while to perform a jump.
Press db,uf or df,ub to perform a high jump.
Press ub while running to perform a high jump.
f,f : Run (keep holding f to keep running).
b,b : Backstep.
b while being : Block. This greatly reduces the damage an enemy does to
attacked you, but you cannot be performing any other action while
blocking, and it cannot be done in the air.
b/f + C/D while : Throw escape. Note that only normal throws can be escaped,
being thrown and you must use the same button that the opponent used to
throw you.
AB : Emergency Evasion (your character rolls forward; he/she is
almost invincible while rolling, being only affected by
throws).
b + AB : Emergency Evasion (exactly like the normal one, except that
your character rolls backwards).
AB while : Guard Cancel. Your character will cancel the blocking
blocking animation and roll back for his/her safety. This will cost
one power stock.
AB after being : Recovery Roll. You roll instead of being actually knocked
knocked down down. It saves time. Note that it can't be done after
certain moves (moves with the hard knockdown attribute in
the movelist).
BC/CD : Tag. When you perform it, your current character will leave
the screen after performing a taunt, to be replaced with
another member of your team, who jumps in. If your current
character is hit during the taunt, however, the Tag will
not be performed. You can only tag when the message
'Change OK' is being displayed on top of your power bar.
qcf + BC/CD : Tag Attack. Works like a tag, but instead of your current
character performing a taunt, she performs an attack (that
looks like that characters' old stand CD attack, in most
cases). Performing a Tag Attack costs one power stock. The
new character, instead of simply jumping into the screen,
will fly in with an attack, regardless of the Tag Attack
hitting the opponent or not. But if it hits, the tagging
in character will combo his attack and set the opponent up
for a juggle opportunity.
CD while : Guard Cancel. Your character will cancel the blocking
blocking animation and counter the opponent with a CD attack. This
will cost one power stock and knock the opponent down.
A note on tagging: to determine which character will come out when you tag,
keep in mind that, excluding your active character's name, BC will summon the
"top" character and CD will summon the "bottom" character.
Example: on a team consisting of (in that order):
TERRY
BENIMARU
GATO
. If your active character is Terry,
- press BC to summon Benimaru;
- press CD to summon Gato.
. If your active character is Benimaru,
- press BC to summon Terry;
- press CD to summon Gato.
. If your active character is Gato,
- press BC to summon Terry;
- press CD to summon Benimaru.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= What is changed from KOF2002, in the system: =-
--------------------------------------------
- MAX Mode is gone, and MAX Mode Canceling is obviously gone with it.
- A match now consists of one single round. When a character is defeated,
another comes in to replace him/her almost instantly, and the round
continues (the winner doesn't recover any health).
- There is a Tagging System implemented in the game now. You can tag in or out
members of your team during the match, as long as certain conditions are
met.
- Each team starts every match with 3 full power gauges now.
- CD attacks are gone for most characters.
. Characters that still have their ground CD moves:
- Terry Bogard (performed with df + D)
- Athena Asamiya (performed with f + AC)
. Characters that still have their air CD moves:
- Chang Koehan (performed with f + C in the air)
- Leona Heidern (performed with CD in the air)
- Billy Kane (it became a ground move, performed with df + A)
- Blue Mary (performed with CD in the air)
- Whip (performed with CD in the air)
- Chizuru Kagura (performed with CD in the air)
- Guard Cancel with CD no longer damages the opponent.
- Roll buffering from moves is no longer possible.
- Dizziness is back (a character will be dizzy, being unable to move for a
few seconds, if she receives too many attacks in a small fraction of time).
- Now, each character only has one type of regular throw, performed with
either C or D. All the characters can still use the special effect that
the D throw used to have (you change sides with your opponent). However,
which button triggers the throw that changes sides depends on the
character (for some it may be C, and for others, D).
- The SDMs are now called LDMs (Leader Desperation Moves). When your leader
performs one, he/she spends 2 power stocks at once.
- The first character you select for your team will be your team's leader.
The leader will be the only one who can perform LDMs, he/she will cause
a little more damage and take a little less damage (the difference is
very minor, almost not noticeable, but it's there).
- In the fighting screen, the life bars from the 3 characters of each team
are visible at the same time. The active life bar (that is, the one from
the character that is fighting at that moment) has a small arrow pointing
to it on the side, and looks solid. The lifebars of the characters that are
not fighting at the moment are slightly transparent. The leader's life bar
is blue, while the others are yellow. When a character is defeated, both
her life bar and her name vanish from the screen.
- HSDMs are gone.
- The life meter of your character will no longer flash when she's about to
be guard crushed.
- During CPU matches, you can no longer choose one of two teams to fight
against.
- The special flashes when a character perform DMs and LDMs have changed.
Now, the flash is a white ring that appears around the character and
rapidly diminishes being directed to the character herself. The edges
of the white ring are blue for DMs and red for LDMs.
- The 'Counter' message is written in much bigger letters. Also, in the same
place where it's displayed (the side of the screen, under the characters'
names), other messages can also be displayed: 'Down' when a character of
that team is defeated, 'Change' when a tag is performed, and 'S. Cancel'
when a Super Cancel is performed.
- Some messages that have changed: in the beginning of the match, it's
'Ready, go' once again instead of 'Round X, fight'. And the combo display
writes 'Rush XX' instead of 'XX hits'.
- 'KOF style buffering' is gone. In the older KOF games, you could start
inputing the motion for a move much before the time when you "had" to, so
you had a much easier time performing combos than now. And also, you could
cancel whiffed normals into special moves, and the removal of that feature
makes it much harder to perform button tap motions (like Yamazaki's LDM,
which is performed as A,A,f,B,C).
- Characters now have a different animation for when they are defeated by
block damage (ala Street Fighter 3), where they fall on their knees before
collapsing to the ground.

=============================================================================
3. THE MOVELIST
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Before the actual section with the movelists, this section will explain in
detail how the movelists are divided:
First, after the character's name, there is her bios. Then, the actual
basic movelist (listing the moves and the commands to perform them).
After each character's movelist, everything that has changed on them
from KOF2002 (or their latest KOF game) to KOF2003 is listed. That includes
changes in the movelist and other aspects (outfit, effects, voice, etc.).
The box may also include other notes about the characters (such as informing
that a certain character is able to triangle jump), or not exist at all in
some cases.
Under that list, there is a box showing the cancelable normals of that
character. The box lists all of the character's normal moves (stand A,
crouch A, etc.) that can be 'canceled into' a command. If a normal is listed
with a number in front of it, it means that it can only be canceled in that
hit (this is only applicable for normal moves that hit more than once,
obviously). And if the normal is listed with an asterisk in front of it, it
means that the normal hits more than once, but can be canceled during any of
those hits.
Example:
_____________________________________________________________________________
| [ CANCELABLE NORMALS ] |
| stand A(*) stand B stand C(2) stand D |
| crouch A --- crouch C crouch D(1) |
| far A far C far D |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
On this example, the character has a multi-hit stand A that can be canceled in
any hit. He can only cancel his stand C on the second hit, and his crouching D
on the first hit. All of the other normals are 1-hit only. He cannot cancel his
crouch B at all, since it's listed with '---'. And he doesn't have a far B,
since it's not listed at all.
OBS: like in the above example, some characters don't have a far A or far B
that is different from their stand A or stand B. In those cases, those normals
will not be listed at all in the Cancelable Normals box.
Under that box, there is a Command Cancelability box. It lists all of the
character's command moves, with symbols to indicate if they can be 'canceled
into' and/or 'canceled from'. That is, if you can cancel a cancelable normal
move into that command, and if, after doing that, you can cancel that command
into a special move or a desperation move. Or, in some cases, cancel the
command directly into a special/desperation move, without canceling into it.
The symbol that appears before the name of the command indicates if it can be
'canceled into' (that is, linked from a normal move into the command). There
are two types of symbols:
-> means that you CAN cancel a normal move into that command;
means that you CAN'T cancel a normal move into that command.
The symbol that appears after the name of the command indicates if it can
be 'canceled into' a special or desperation move. There are three types of
symbols:
-> means that the command CAN be 'canceled into' a special/desperation move,
but ONLY if you have canceled a normal move into it;
=> means that the command CAN be 'canceled into' a special/desperation move
at ANY time; that is, you don't need to cancel a normal into it before
canceling the command, but you can do that too if you want;
means that the command CAN'T be 'canceled into' a special/desperation
move under any circumstance.
Example:
_____________________________________________________________________________
| [ COMMAND CANCELABILITY ] |
| -> Command 1 -> |
| -> Command 2 => |
| -> Command 3 . |
| . Command 4 . |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
On this example, the character can cancel a normal into Command 1, Command 2
or Command 3, but can't cancel into Command 4. Also, he can cancel both his
Command 1 and his Command 2 into special/desperation moves, but the
requirements to do so are different: for Command 1 he needs to have canceled
into it first, while for Command 2, there are no requirements, he can do it at
any time, being 'canceled into' or not.
There are some special cases though. Duo Lon and Terry have commands that
must be connected after normal moves, and Duo Lon also has a command with a
command followup. In those cases, the special requirement for the command
will be listed before it's name on the chart, instead of the usual arrow.
NOTE: Ralf and Mukai don't have any commands, so they don't have this box on
their movelists.
And finally, the Attributes of the moves are listed, in a similar fashion
to the movelist itself. The attributes are the special properties that some
moves might have. Note that the Command Moves have some unique attributes that
cannot be found on other types of moves. The next section will describe those
attributes in detail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= Command Move Attributes: =-
------------------------
- Overhead: a crouching opponent cannot block this command.
- Hits low: a standing opponent cannot block this command.
- Parry: this command is used to block incoming attacks (even projectiles);
you will take no damage if attacked while performing it.
- Knockdown: this command will knock the opponent down. This attribute will
only be listed for commands, since many special moves have it, but it's
rarer to be found in command moves.
- Hard Knockdown: this move will knock the opponent down with a special
effect, not allowing him/her to use a Recovery Roll.
- Autoguard: this command has some frames where it cannot be interrupted by
enemy attacks. Your character automatically takes block damage if attacked
during Autoguard frames, and her command doesn't stop (normally hitting the
opponent after that).
- Cross Up: this command will successfully connect while your character is
jumping over the enemy, hitting on his/her opposite side. It works as an
excellent combo starter.
- Super Cancelable: you can perform a Super Cancel with this move. Super
Canceling consists into interrupting a move and starting a DM or LDM
instantly. When you do that, your character flashes white, the animation of
the move she is performing is canceled and she starts the L/DM at the exact
time, while the message S. Cancel flashes at the screen. The cost for doing
that is 1 stock added to the normal cost of the L/DM (so that it adds up to
2 stocks for super canceling into a DM or 3 stocks for super canceling into
a LDM).
NOTE: whenever a command is 'canceled into' (you link a normal into it), it
loses all of its attributes. There are some exceptions to this rule: Gato's
Sai-Gaku, Hinako's Ketaguri and Whip's Whip Shot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= Other Move Attributes: =-
----------------------
Other moves are Normal, Special, Desperation and Leader Desperation moves.
- Overhead: a crouching opponent cannot block this attack.
- Hits low: a standing opponent cannot block this attack.
- Unblockable: this attack cannot be blocked at all.
- Counter: when you execute this move, your character will be in a certain
stance for a few seconds. If the enemy hits her during that stance, your
character will take no damage and immediately counter the enemy attack with
an attack of her own.
- Autoguard: this move has some frames (usually in the beginning) where it
cannot be interrupted by enemy attacks. Your character automatically takes
block damage if attacked during Autoguard frames, and her move doesn't stop
(normally hitting the opponent after that).
- Invincibility: while performing this move, your character (or just a part of
her) becomes totally invincible against enemy attacks, except throws.
- Counter Wire: during counter hits (when your move hits the opponent while
he is also attacking you), this move will make your opponent be launched to
the opposing wall and bounce back, allowing you to perform additional
attacks.
- Mobility: you can move (in a limited fashion) while performing this move.
- Hard Knockdown: this move will knock the opponent down with a special
effect, not allowing him/her to use a Recovery Roll.
- Knockdown Projectile: this projectile will knock the opponent down.
- Reflects Projectiles: if a projectile hits you while performing this move,
it will be reflected back to your opponent.
- Negates Projectiles: this move makes enemy projectiles vanish.
- Recovers life: this move makes you recover some life energy back.
- Guard Crush: if this move hits a blocking opponent, it will drop his/her
guard, leaving him/her open for attacks for a few moments.
- Super Cancelable: you can perform a Super Cancel with this move. Super
Canceling consists into interrupting a move and starting a DM or LDM
instantly. When you do that, your character flashes white, the animation of
the move he is performing is canceled and he starts the L/DM at the exact
time, while the message S. Cancel flashes at the screen. The cost for doing
that is 1 stock added to the normal cost of the L/DM (so that it adds up to
2 stocks for super canceling into a DM or 3 stocks for super canceling into
a LDM).

--======================--[ COMMAND MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--=====================--
Hika Tenshi : can only be performed after a jump-in B (that is,
the aerial B performed during a forward jump, so it
can't be performed while jumping straight up); will
only hit airborne opponents
Raika Tenshi : hard knockdown
--======================--[ SPECIAL MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--=====================--
Shaki Juuryuu (3rd hit) : super cancelable; can be followed with any move
Onpei Ryuujin Ha : can be followed with Fuuka Tenshi, Hishou Kyaku,
Genmu Kyaku: Uchikiba or Genmu Kyaku: Sotokiba
Shiryou Hatsu Seikin : super cancelable
Suishu Makyakuho : only performed at close range; unblockable; can be
followed with any move
Suishu Ransaiki : perform while Duo Lon is pulling his opponent
towards him (at the beginning of Suishu Makyakujo);
makes Duo Lon and the opponent switch sides; can be
followed with any move
--====================--[ DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--===================--
Hiden: Genmu Onryou Heki : invincibility; only does block damage on the last
hit; the stock is spent before this move starts, so
if Duo Lon is hit before he turns around, the stock
will be totally wasted
--================--[ LEADER DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--================--
Ouji: Tajiuu Genmu Ankei : this move will create a shadow copy of Duo Lon that
will last for about 6 seconds, and do whatever the
real Duo Lon does (but the timer will keep on
counting even if you tag Duo Lon out, so the
effects may run out while he's off-screen). Also,
the activation of this move can hit the enemy if
he/she is too close

Since he doesn't have a qcf + B/D move, it will work as a regular kick, which
will be chained into the DM of your choice.

--======================--[ COMMAND MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--=====================--
Tenrenshou : overhead; startup frames are reduced if performed in
a combo
Fusen Kyaku : will track the opponent (hitting the opposite side
if the opponent rolls past Shen); if held, the move
will be canceled (working like a fake move)
--======================--[ SPECIAL MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--=====================--
Geki-Ken (A) : super cancelable; hard knockdown if held (even if
only for a while)
Geki-Ken (C) : super cancelable; hard knockdown if held for more
than one second; unblockable if fully held
Saikouhou Geki : if performed at close range, guard crush; otherwise,
it reflects projectiles
--====================--[ DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--===================--
Setsu! Geki-Ken : counter wire; invincibility when Shen's fist is
already outstretched; there's an interesting bit:
the A version of this move is immune against Mukai's
Rising Pillar, while the C version is immune against
his Falling Pillar
Kohyou Rengeki : invincibility in the beginning
--================--[ LEADER DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--================--
Bakuma! : invincibility while activating; after performing
this move, Shen will deal more damage with any
attack for about 6-8 seconds (but the timer will
keep on counting even if you tag Shen out, so the
effects may run out while he's off-screen). Also,
the activation of this move can hit the enemy if
he/she is too close

Brake : this move will cancel the Power Dunk, and must be
performed at the very beginning, before the 2nd hit;

Power Geyser : negates projectiles / invincibility until the geyser
comes out
Buster Wolf : the 2nd part of the move is not performed if the 1st
part is blocked; can fly over certain ground
projectiles (all except Iori's Yami Barai and
Robert's (C) Ryuu Geki Ken)
--================--[ LEADER DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--================--

- He has a brand new outfit, and a new animation for his neutral stance.

And even though Robert performs this move off the ground, he can still be hit
by ground projectiles during it.

them hits the opponent, he'll stop (if it hits, though, he performs the move

make him be pushed back a little after throwing it now.

- His Hishou Kyaku is back to its pre-KOF2002 style (hits while going down),
and its command has been changed to d + B/D. It actually became a command now,
as it can even cross up.
- His Followup 1 and Followup 2 can only be performed with B now.
- He got his Ryuusei Raku move back, but it's slower, and the first hit will
send the opponent too far for the second hit to connect from it (unless its
done on the corner).
- Many of his moves became super cancelable (mostly the ones that were
cancelable in MAX Mode in KOF2002).
- His Hou'ou Kyaku DM can be performed in the air again.
- His LDM is his old Hou'ou Kyaku SDM, but it can be performed on the ground

- She lost her Orochi Mode.
- Her stand D can only be canceled on the first hit now.
- She still has her jump CD, as a command.
- Her (B) Ground Saber became super cancelable, but for some reason, ONLY at
her LDM (and it will only connect at the corner).
- Her Gliding Buster is now super cancelable.
- Now, once she connects her Earring Bakudan 2 at the opponent, it will not
vanish if Leona takes block damage anymore (only if she's actually hit for
regular damage). Also, it can be followed with any normal in the corner, and
it will combo. However, it will vanish if she hits her opponent with a DM.
- Her (D) Rebel Spark has more startup, being impossible to be used in combos.
However, Leona has invincibility in the beginning.
- Her LDM is a different version of the V Slasher SDM she used to have: you
perform it on the ground, and then she jumps at the opponent (like in her old
Grateful Dead DM). If she hits, she performs the V Slasher (in a similar
fashion to how her X-Calibur move used to be before KOF99).

- His Flashing Elbow has been improved in which it will always connect in the
corner (except from the Napalm Stretch). However, the timing is more strict
(to connect it after a Super Argentine Backbreaker, you must input the
command as Clark throws his opponent to the floor, not when he catches them
like in previous games).

or Chain Drive anymore.
- His far C is now cancelable.
- Many of his normals have changed in animation, usually becoming more
effective.
- His One Inch has the overhead attribute now. However, when 'canceled into',
it will push the opponent too far, meaning that most moves won't fully connect
from it.
- His Knee Assault no longer has the overhead attribute. However, it no longer
needs to be 'canceled into' in order to be 'canceled from' either.
- He recovered his Blackout followup to the Iron Trigger.
- His Second Shoot and Second Shell come out much faster.
- He has a new move, the Air Trigger.
- His (C) Crow Bites doesn't fly as high or as far as it used to.
- His Narrow Spike takes longer to come out now. It can still be chained at
the corner (or close to it), though.
- He lost the DM version of his Chain Drive.
- His (C) Heat Drive DM now chains in the open from strong attacks, while the
(A) version doesn't.
- He has a new DM, the Heaven's Drive. It will hit less times if chained into.</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
- His LDM is the old SDM Chain Drive, with a new finishing move.

However, during your match against Kusanagi, if you finish him off with a
DM, LDM, or with a Tag Attack (1st hit), after two more matches you'll be
challenged by Chizuru, alongside an illusion of her dead twin sister, Maki.
And only after defeating them will you be able to face the game's real last
boss, Mukai, instead of Adel.

"You burn like paper! I thought you were better!"
Kusanagi is an edit character, selectable only via a code. However, Kusanagi
will challenge you after you defeat the third team. He is an illusion created
by Chizuru Kagura's mirror of Yata. If you defeat him using a DM, LDM, or the
first hit of a tag attack, you will proceed to fight Chizuru and Maki after
you beat two more teams, and then the last boss, Mukai. Otherwise, you'll
fight the alternate last boss, Adel, after you beat two more teams.
To select Kusanagi, on the character select screen, press:
d,db,b,ub,b,db,d,df,f,uf then press any button.

Maki Kagura is Chizuru's twin sister who was killed by Goenitz before KOF96.
The one who challenges you alongside Chizuru is an illusion created by the
mirror of Yata. Even though she has a similar movelist, she is stronger than
Chizuru.
There is no "official" way to play as her. She is only selectable by messing
with the arcade DIP switches.

"You fought me well. Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
Adelheid Bernstein is presumed to be Rugal's son. He has a sister named Rose,
and they fly in the Sky Noah, a dark blue airship. You can face him after the
fifth team as the last boss if you don't finish Kusanagi off using a DM or LDM
(and thus, Chizuru and Maki don't challenge you). He'll be the game's "fake"
last boss, and defeating him doesn't earn you an ending.
There is no "official" way to play as him. He is only selectable by messing
with the arcade DIP switches.

Double Tomahawk : overhead (2nd hit)
Futtobashi : knockdown
Beads Destruction : overhead (2nd hit)
--======================--[ SPECIAL MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--=====================--
Dark Barrier : reflects projectiles
Reppukyaku (B) : if it's comboed into, it'll work differently: Adel
will perform a hop kick while launching the
Reppukyaku. But the kick will hit the opponent
before the actual Reppukyaku does. And in that case,
the move will have the super cancelable attribute
Reppukyaku (D) : if it's comboed into, it'll work differently: Adel
will perform a hop kick while launching the
Reppukyaku. In this case, the 2nd hit will have the
overhead and hard knockdown attributes
God Press : unblockable
--====================--[ DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--===================--
Genocide Cutter (D) : hits low (1st hit)
--================--[ LEADER DESPERATION MOVE ATTRIBUTES ]--================--
Gigantic Pressure : this move can cross-up against an opponent who is
getting up (this happens when Adel's hand has passed
his opponent); allows juggles (although there's only
one way to juggle with it: launching a (B)
Reppukyaku from a distance and immediatly following
it up with the Gigantic Prssure; in that case, the
Reppukyaku will hit the opponent as they're
landing); if performed in the corner, the opponent
must block the whole move, or will end up being hit

"How does it feel, becoming a living statue?"
Mukai is the game's real last boss. You'll only face him if you managed to
defeat Chizuru & Maki, after finishing Kusanagi off with a DM/LDM/1st hit of
a Tag Attack. Only by beating him will you be able to watch the game's actual
endings.
There is no "official" way to play as him. He is only selectable by messing
with the arcade DIP switches.

- His moves cause much more guard meter damage than normal (so you might get
guard crushed when blocking his multi-hit moves). His "Falling Pillar" can
even guard crush you and then keep hitting while you're defenseless.

-= Music information =-
-----------------
Once again, the music system has changed (it's closer to the way it was
before KOF2002 now). First of all, since there are no more rounds, it's obvious
that only one theme will play during the entire match. Also, stage themes are
gone, with two exceptions: Chizuru and Maki's stage will play Maki's theme, and
Adel's stage will play Adel's theme preceded by a special Piano intro. Other
than that, you will once again hear the team themes when you are fighting the
CPU.
On VS. mode, the theme playing will be that of the character who was
selected as a leader by the challenger.

** when he fights in the Sky Noah, his theme is preceeded by Chopin's Etude
in C minor, Op.10 No.12 'Revolutionary', played by his sister Rose, on the
piano, in the background. After the piano part ends, Adel's actual theme plays.
The piano part is skipped when he fights on other backgrounds (which is not
possible "officially", by the way).

5. CREDITS AND OTHER INFO
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
First of all, I'd like to thank SNK Playmore for being alive and kicking,
and for making this game. Also, CJayC for the site, and for hosting the FAQ
in first place.
. Very Special Thanks to:
- Kao Megura for allowing me to use move names from his amazing FAQs on my
KOF2002 FAQ, that ended up being carried to this one; and also for the move
names for Chizuru's new attacks, and some CD attacks, that were used in this
FAQ. And, of course, for showing not only me, but every FAQ writer in the
world, how to write a great FAQ. Thanks a lot, Chris.
* I will not change these words because of his passing away. I'll leave this
as I had originally written it, as a mark of how much I already admired him
before he left us. He may be gone, but his legacy is eternal. *
- Vincent Chua (www.kofonline.com) for allowing me to use move names from the
KOF2001 and KOF2002 movelists on his site (mostly on my KOF2001 FAQ/movelist,
that ended up being carried to this one). Thanks a lot, Vincent.
- Juan Acevedo (MGohan) for allowing me to use some of the move names of the
new characters from his excellent KOF2003 FAQ. And Saotome Kaneda for actually
providing those move names to him, from the Arcadia Magazine. Thanks a lot to
both of you!
- Alfredo Alejandro Catalan Segovia (Toxico) for pointing out that Ash uses
special bubbles, and not flames, unlike what SNK NeoGeo USA wants you to think,
and for some more info. Thanks a lot.
- Mycah Leonhart for some Jhun corrections.
- Kung Tjoffe for pointing out that Shen's Saikouhou-Geki can reflect
projectiles.
- Feitclub for pointing out a mistake about Rugal/Omega Rugal on the chart of
characters.
- Blue Flash for some info on Duo Lon and The Griffon. Thanks!
- Tracy Smith for telling me the name of the song Rose plays on the piano
when Adel fights.
- Judgment Day for providing the names of the new songs at the Neo-Geo.com
forums. Thanks a lot.
- Tel for providing me with a LOT of information, on several characters.
Thanks a whole lot for your contribution!
