I. Why Duo Lon?
=======================================================================
I'm pretty sure that anyone that played this game seriously, know what Duo Lon
is all about. I'm suprised no one created a FAQ for Duo. Even though it's been
over 2 1/2 years since this game came out, the man deserves some type of
explaination for people who want to learn his broken gameplay.

-------------------------------
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- when grabbed, f or b + C/D
If done correctly, you're character will push away the opponent about 3 steps
away from you. Throw Escapes do not work in the air, against Benimaru, Tizoc,
Gato, Mai, Athena, Yuri, Clark, and Leona, since they all have air throws.
GROUND ONLY! Throw Escapes don't work against command throws either, except for
Clark.
-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. This year, you can roll while crouching (db+AB/df+AB). 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
Power Stock)
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 Power Stock)
When blocking an attack, your character will perform the CD Attack, which will
knock the opponent away from you. Great to distance yourself from the opponent
and keeps the pace going. Inflicts no damage to the opponent.
-Multi-Shift- BC or CD
A new addition to KOF2k3. KOF has finally added a TAG SYSTEM to their game.
Multi-Shift is when your character can tag in another character on your team.
You can't tag out whenever you want. You must wait for the words above your
Power Guage to flash, "CHANGE OK". When performed, your character that is
switching out will do a taunt/pose, as he/her disappear with the words "CHANGE"
in yellow. As the character that has been tagged in, will then jump where the
last character was positioned. Once you Multi-Shift, you must wait 5 seconds to
Multi-Shift again. But there's one flaw to Multi-Shift...... You can be hit out
of it, so it's not really safe unless you knockdown your opponent.
-Multi-Shift Attack- qcf + BC/CD (requires 1 Power Stock)
When performed, your character will throw out a normal attack and leap out.
Then the character tagged in will leap in with a attack. If connected, it will
stun you opponent for a brief moment. With the stun on the MSA, you can then
follow up with a combo. If you peform the MSA while the opponent is in mid-air,
the opponent will be knocked into the air, where you can now juggle them. The
tagged character will land in the same position that the switched character was
located. You can also combo MSA from the STUN off some attacks, off juggles
from special moves/DM's, and command throws (Iori and Duo Lon). You can also be
hit out of a MSA if you not careful. You'll lose the power stock, but the
"CHANGE OK" message will remain.
-Multi-Shift System-
I'll try to explain the MS System, so that you can understand how to get the
character you want in the during battle.
Note: Name of character with CAPS LOCKED is the person in battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:
________________________________
-> |____________LEADER______________|
|________________________________|
|________________________________|
KIM
Jhun
Kyo
OK! I have Kim in, so I want to replace him with Kyo, so I would hit CD.
CHANGE
________________________________
|____________LEADER______________|
|________________________________|
-> |________________________________|
Kim
Jhun
KYO
OK! So I have Kyo in so I want to replace him with Jhun, but this time I do a
Multi-Switch Attack (qcf + BC).
CHANGE
________________________________
|____________LEADER______________|
-> |________________________________|
|________________________________|
Kim
JHUN

Kim is back in battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So in closing for TAGS, Character 1 = BC for C2
= CD for C3
Character 2 = BC for C1
= CD for C3
Character 3 = BC for C1
= CD for C2
-Leader System-
While choosing a character in the Character Select Screen, the 1st character
you choose, will be your LEADER Character. This only means that they will be
assigned the LDM. While playing, you can indicate who your LEADER is by the
BLUE COLOR GAUGE.
-Desperation Moves- (requires 1 Power Stock)
DM's are your Super Moves. In order to use DM's, you must fill up the Power
Gauge to stock a DM. You can store up to 5 stocks. Each character has there own
number of DM assigned to them.
-Leader Desperation Moves- (requires 2 Power Stocks)
New addition to KOF2k3. LDM's are replacing the previous SDM's. It baiscally
the same as a SDM, but only the LEADER can use the SDM. LDM's take 2 Power
Stocks to use. SDM's must be done by presing 2 buttons, instead of one button.
There will be a RED Aura around the character to indicate that you successfully
pulled off the LDM.
-Super Cancels- (requires 2 or 3 Power Stocks)
This feature is back from KoF2k2. Super Canceling allows you to cancel special
moves into DM/LDM's. In order to Super Cancel, you must have a least 3 Power
Stocks at the most. 1 Power Stock to Super Cancel and 1 or 2 Power Stocks to
perform the DM/LDM. When the words on the screen flash "S.CANCEL", this
indicates that you have successfully Super Canceled.
-Counter Wire Attacks-
This feature from KoF2k1-2k2 also carried unto Kof2k3. These are attacks based
on counter hits. Counter Wire Attacks occur during a counter hit, in which the
opponent goes flying towards the wall and will be bounced back after hitting
the wall. You can follow-up alot of stuff with this move. This is something to
watch for in the future.
=======================================================================
IV. Duo Lon's Basic Moves
=======================================================================
A (weak punch):
-standing-
High snake fist punch. Not cancelable, but the speed is quite fast. Not much
use for this move.
-crouching-
Low backhand strike. Very fast and cancelable into his specials and desperation
moves. Best crouching combo starter off his qcf + P chains. The distance
travels inside sweeping range. You can also link a MSA after this attack.
-jumping-
45 degree angle downward knife edge chop. Not much use for this move either.
-diagonal jumping-
Downward knife edge chop. A overhead attack on crouching opponents. Useless
move as well.
-close-
Mid backhand strike. Very fast and cancelable into his specials and desperation
moves. Use crouching A over standing A.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B (weak kick):
-standing-
Mid snap kick. A quick attack that has two different distances depending on how
the opponnet guards the attack. It can hit outside sweep range on crouched
opponents, and inside sweep range on standing opponents. All in all, it's a
great zone attack.
-crouching-
Very fast low kick which is cancelable into Duo's specials and desperation
moves. Second best crouching attack next to crouch A for qcf + P chains. You
can link a MSA off crouch B as well.
-jumping-
45 degree angle downward side kick. A overhead attack on crouching opponents.
Decent air-to-air attack.
-diagonal jumping-
45 degree angle downward snap kick. Probably his second best jump-in attack.
-close-
Quick high knee attack. Cancelable into Duo's specials and desperation moves.
Useful after teleport dash (qcf + K).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C (strong punch):
-standing-
Slow lunging forward palm strike. Moves forward while lunging. This move can
hit from about half screen distance. Decent zone attack, but that's all it is.
-crouching-
Rising uppercut rake which is cancelable into Duo's specials and desperation
moves. This attack can hit inside sweeping distance. Decent anti-air attack.
Not very useful though.
-jumping / diagonal jumping-
45 degree angle downward palm strike. The diagonal version is best for short
jumping.
-close-
Double palm strike. Great standing attack for qcf + P x3 after a jump-in attack
or mistake punisher.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D (strong kick):
-standing-
High spinning roundhouse kick. Comes out fast, but recovers very slow.
-crouching-
Low spinning sweep attack. Becomes cancelable into specials and desperation
moves when the sweep is blocked or connects. This attack can hit from inside
half screen distance as well.
-jumping-
A somersault kick. A decent air-to-air attack.
-diagonal jumping-
Snapping 45 degree angle downward kick. Great priority over all air-to-air
attacks and a great jump-in attack as well.
-close-
High rising knee attack. Great standing attack for qcf + P x3 after a jump-in
attack or mistake punisher.
AB (Emergency Attack Avoidance Forward/Back)
Duo Lon does a sliding crouch dash forward / backwards to avoid the incoming
attack. The roll itself can travels a bit out of half screen distance.
CD (Guard Knockdown Attack)
Duo Lon performs a double palm strike that sends the opponent flying back full
screen distance. The opponent is unable to recovery roll after being hit by
this attack.

-Super Cancels-

-Counter Wire Attacks-

------------------
Move Descriptions:
------------------
-Suishu: Shoukou- when close, b or f + C/D
Duo Lon grabs the opponent and performs a shoulder ram. You can switch sides
with the throw depending on the button you use. Duo Lon's throw sends the
opponent full screen distance, unless in the corner.
-Sankaku Tobi- near the wall while in air, uf
While in the air near a wall, Duo Lon will propel himself off the wall
diagonally up into the air. Just you standard triangle wall jump. You can get
more height and escape certain attacks when cornered.
-Hika Tenshi- jumping uf + B, D
After up forward jumping B, Duo Lon shifts his body forward to unleash a
mid-air roundhouse kick. The follow up attack after up forward jumping B. You
can only use this move during "NORMAL JUMPING", because quick / short jumping B
cancels out the follow up.
-Fuuka Tenshi- df + D
>Raika Tenshi- D (follow up after Fuuka Tenshi)
Duo Lon does a spinning sweep attack followed by a standing roundhouse kick.
Fuuka Tenshin is a faster and safer version of Duo Lon's crouching D. Fuuka
Tenshi does advance forward like Duo Lon's standard crouching D. Raika Tenshi
is also a faster and safer version of Duo Lon's standing roundhouse. Raika
Tenshi cannot be recovery rolled when the move connects. The downside of this
move is that it's uncancelable with special attacks on both Fuuka / Raika
Tenshi. At least that changes in KoF XI.
-Genmu Kyaku: Naiga- f, d, df + B/D
Duo Lon slightly lifts his broken foot off the ground, then before his foot
touches the ground again, a fast image of his foot appears and shoot up near
the opponent a distance away and disappears as his foot touches the ground. If
the attack hits the opponent, they will be launched forward into the air for a
juggle of some kind. The speed on these attacks are quite fast. The B version
hits outside half screen distance, as the D version hits from outside full
screen distance. The D version doesn't launch as high as the B version. This
attack also serves as a great zoning out the opponent. Too bad it doesn't off
the ground like KoF XI.
-Genmu Kyaku: Gaiga- b, d, db + B/D
Duo Lon slightly lifts his broken foot off the ground, then before his foot
touches the ground again, a fast image of his foot appears and shoots up near
the opponent a distance away and disappears as his foot touches the ground. The
same properties as Naiga, but instead of the foot image shooting forward, it
shoot backwards. This causes the opponent to be launched towards Duo Lon if the
the attack hits. So you can juggle the airborne opponent all you want. The only
problem with this attack is you have to position yourself at the right distance
between you and the opponent. Because if you do Gaiga from full screen distance
as the opponent is that far back, Gaiga will come out as Naiga. Basically, you
have to be close enough to the opponent for Gaiga to hit the opponent from
"BEHIND". This is key! That's the only way the reverse foot image will appear
from Gaiga.
-Himou Kyaku- qcf + B/D
Duo Lon performs a fast forward crouch dash. This teleport is very fast, but
you are vulnerable during the warp. It's also a safe move for both B and D
versions. You may also cancel into another teleport if the move doesn't cross
up the opponent. The B version travels outside of half screen range, as the D
version travel outside of full screen range.
-Jaki Juuryuu- qcf + A/C x3
Duo Lon performs a lunging elbow strike, lunging shoulder strike, and a upward
palm strike. All three attacks are high level. This chain combo attack is a
"HUGE" part of Duo Lon's gameplay (more on that later). The last move on this
chain attack launches the opponent into the air for a free juggle. Also, the
last hit is cancelable into all of Duo Lon's special attacks (except for
Suishu: Makyakuho). The recover time is horrid on the last hit, but canceling
into his other moves creates safety around this move. Just like Kyo's Aragami
and Dokugami chains, Duo Lon has some follow ups after his qcf + P x1 / qcf + P
x3. I will list them after his standard follow up.
>Onpei Ryuujin Ha- f + K (follow up after qcf + P x1)
>Shiryou Hassei Kin- qcb + P (follow up after f + K)
Duo Lon performs a high rising knee attack, then finishes with a double palm
strike. This chain has a great stun ability which makes it safe on block and
opens up for another combo or additional attack.
>qcf + P x1, f + K, qcb + P (standard chain)
>qcf + P x1, f + K, df + D
>qcf + P x1, f + K, df + D, D
>qcf + P x1, f + K, qcf + K
>qcf + P x1, f + K, f, d, df + K
>qcf + P x1, f + K, b, d, db + K
>qcf + P x1, qcf + K
>qcf + P x3, qcf + K
>qcf + P x3, f, d, df + K
>qcf + P x3, b, d, db + K
>qcf + P x3, qcb + K
-Genma Hishou Keikou- qcb + B/D
Duo Lon's turns around as his body turns into a skeleton, and breaks down into
molecules and disappears into the ground. Then he reappears as the molecules
reconstruct his body as he performs a spinning drill kick. Not a useful move at
all. Though it's appearance looks cool, it's rather slow on start up. However,
it has invincibility as the the skeleton starts to breakdown. But even during
this time, the opponent is still able to throw you out of this attack. The
distance of the drill kick varies on the button thats pressed. The B version
travels inside sweep range, as the D version goes full screen. In KoF XI, this
attack has lost the teleport animation and is now a aerial drill kick attack.
-Suishu: Makyakuho- when close, hcb, f + A/C
Duo Lon grabs the opponent's arm, pulls them forward, then pushes them back
while they remain in a breif stunned state. A command grab thats very abusive.
During their stunned state, you may follow up with an additional attack or
another hcb, f + P. You can use this command grab outside of close range. The
command grab also has a follow up.
>Suishu: Ransaiki- qcb + A/C (follow up after Suishu: Makyakuho)
As Duo Lon pulls the opponent forward, he tosses them behind himself, while
they are left in a breif stunned state. This command follow up allows you to
switch side with the opponent and still giving the same properties of the
command throw.
-Multi-Shift Attack- qcf + BC/CD
Duo Lon will perform a double palm strike. This action can be performed only
when the words "CHANGE OK" are above your power gauge. Does a bit of damage and
has invicibility start up. If Duo Lon is tagged in by the MSA, he'll leap in
with his jD attack animation. Remember though, Duo Lon can be countered /
punished if he's tagged in.
-Taunt- Start Button
Duo Lon grabs the lower part of his robe and waves it forward. You may cancel
in between his taunt as soon as he grabs his robe.
-Hiden: Genmu Juon Shikon- qcb, hcf + A/C
Duo Lon crouches as a ghostly aura trails behind his head. Just as Duo Lon is
lunging his body forward, his ponytail shoots out and releases a projectile of
the mosaic of souls towards the opponent. This is a fireball type desperation
move. When connected, the projectile does 2-hits and knocks down. Both versions
travel full screen. The A version has slow start up and a slow release, as the
C version has slow start up and a fast release. This desperation move negates
normal projectiles. With the slow start up on both version, it's wise not to
use this desperation move unless S.CANCELing off qcf + P x3.
-Hiden: Genmu Onryou Heki- hcb, hcb + A/C
Duo Lon turns around facing the background, while he lets loose ghostly skull
heads that swirl around Duo Lon's body. If the opponent is hit, the ghostly
skulls that surround Duo Lon's body start to attack from different angles for
multiple hits. The skulls can hit up to 24-hits. This is Duo Lon's best
S.CANCEL desperation move. The distance covers inside sweep range. The chip
damage is a joke when all hits are blocked. But, it does deal out great damage
when connected. It can also negate normal projectiles and desperation move
projectiles (Ash's Thermidor, Ryo's Haoh Shoukou Ken, and Terry's Power
Stream). So it's pretty much a defense barrier: a SHEILD!
-Ougi: Tajuu Genmu Ankei- A~C~B~D (LDM)
Duo Lon stands straight up and shoots off a glowing ghostly aura that summons
the ghostly skulls to surround his entire body. There, he stands as the aura
starts to disappear and reappear as a duplicate trails behind him. This LDM is
somewhat like Custom Combo's from the SFA series. The opponent can be hit the
glowing aura during the activation of this LDM, if close enough while standing
or airborne. Following the activation, whatever attack you perform, the
duplicate will do as well. You are able to hit the opponent in multiple strikes
with normal attacks. Just as you start hitting the opponent, you'll notice that
Duo Lon will begin to glow. As soon as the glow hits five counts, the LDM will
end. The attack damage is also reduced to HALF during the LDM. Duo Lon's LDM
eliminates the push back factor, which you normally get while hitting the
opponent. Furthermore, special move properties change during the LDM. One last
thing, some of Duo Lon's qcf + P chains tend to miss the opponent on random.
Overall, I wouldn't reccommend Duo Lon as your leader. At least they improved
this LDM "Big Time" in KoF XI, where you could almost compare it to Yun's
Gen'ei Jin SA3 from SFIII: 3S.

push back factor doesn't hurt your chances out of connecting qcf + P. ;)

INFINITE Combos
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
Infinite Combo 1:
-----------------
If the opponent is in back turned animation while in the corner, Duo Lon is
able to perform qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P chain until the opponent life gauge
reaches zero. There are quite a few ways to set this up, but the easiest way is
to backing yourself into the corner while the opponent is next to you. Start by
MSA Duo Lon, which he'll cross up the opponent while coming in battle. After
you land behind the opponent, perform.....
cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K,
qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, etc.
You may also do a semi infinite if you desire. Here's an example combo.....
cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K,
qcb + P, cA, qcf + P x3, qcf + K, uf + B, D
or semi infinite into another tag combo.....
cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K, qcb + P, cA, qcf + P, f + K,
qcb + P, MSA Benimaru, cB, cB, qcf + K, qcf + K(SC), qcf, qcf + P/AC
After the third loop, the CHANGE OK will appear, so you may MSA one of your
characters in battle. Also, the third loop adds a power stock for a Desperation
Move or Multi-Shift Attack.
-----------------
Infinite Combo 2:
-----------------
Duo Lon can do a infinite loop off his Suishu: Makyakuho (command throw).
Basically it's like this......
cA, hcb, f + P, f, f, df A, hcb, f + P, f, f, df A, hcb, f + P, f, f, df A,
hcb, f + P, f, f, df A, hcb, f + P, etc.
Just punch, command throw/reset, punch, command throw/reset. Of course you may
combo after the command throw into cA, qcf + P x3 or whatever of your choosing.
He can also loop the command grab itself over and over and over again. Of
course it won't deal any damage but you could use it for amusement or a time
over victory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
VII. Strategies
=======================================================================
-------
Offense
-------
Duo Lon has the best offensive game in KoF2K3. His Jaki Juuryuu (qcf + P x3) is
what makes him so damn powerful. Even when Jaki Juuryuu is blocked, he can
Himou Kyaku (qcf + K) off the last hit or push back the opponent with Genmu
Kyaku: Naiga (f, d, df + B). His jump-in game imvolves jump D (which has great
proirity) If the opponent blocks the incoming jump attack, you can hit them
with Suishu: Makyakuho (hcb, f + P). This works great, until they pick it up
and start to jump away. Once that happens, stick to back jump B/D or sC, qcf +
P x3, qcf + K / f, d, df + B. If you combo qcf + P x3 (Jaki Juuryuu), you
should use Himou Kyaku (qcf + K) to cross up the opponent and hit them while
airborne with C/D into another qcf + K, then sC/D or cA/B to apply pressure as
they land to the ground. His crouch D has good distance and is cancelable into
any of his special moves. This is where you can use qcf + K to advance towards
if the crouch D connects or not.
-------
Defense
-------
Honestly, Duo Lon should never be on the defensive end. Turtling isn't going to
help him much. But his zone game off Genmu Kyaku: Naiga (f, d, df + K) / Genmu
Kyaku: Gaiga (f, d, df + K) is pretty damn good. Even when you connect the
move, you can use qcf + K to shift back into offense. If you do get locked down
somehow, use Guard Knockdown Attack (while blocking, CD) following with qcf + D
to pursue the opponent. This will set you right on top of the opponent. The
only real weakness against Duo Lon is Malin. Malin is able to avoid Duo Lon
with her annoying run away game of Suzume Bachi Kuuchuu. You just have to play
smart and safe against her.
-------------------
Poke Attack Strings
-------------------
Duo Lon has a several strings which can keep the opponent at bay. His strings
are based on how he gets to the opponent, with using his qcf + K, or running /
short jumping towards them with a jC/D. This will also INCREASE your Power
Gauge for Power Stocks. Here's a list of the following poke strings.
cB, cB, cB, sB
cB, cB, cA, sB

jD, sC/D, qcf + P, f + K, b, d, db + B, uf + B, D - 6-hits
----------
Recovering
----------
When Duo Lon is knocked down, you have a few options as the opponent advances.
Using qcf + K can shift you back into offensive mode. Multi-Shift Attack can be
used to upon wake up to switch out Duo Lon or score a free hit. His hcb, f + P
command grab will get you back into the mix as well. Back dashing also works,
since you have breif invinciblity frames. Plus you can get out of throw set ups
this way.
---------
Anti-Airs
---------
-crouch C-
This is a great attack against cross-ups and normal jump-ins. You may also
cancel into qcf + K if you land this attack on the airborne opponent. This way
you'll end up behind the opponent before they even land. Great offensive set up.
-Genmu Kyaku: Naiga (f, d, df + B)-
Works best against deep jump-in attacks.
-Himou Kyaku (qcf + K)-
Use this to excape the incoming attack. This way you are able to position
yourself behind the opponent before they even land.
----------
Air-to-Air
----------
-diagonal jumping D-
This owns the air game big time. This attack has great priority and rarely
trades hits in mid-air.
-Hika Tenshi (uf + B, D)-
This is a great attack while anticipating the opponent jumping. Basically has
the same priority as jump D. You can also set up a few things following this
attack. I'll get to that in a while.
----------------
Cross Up Attacks
----------------
-jumping A-
This works great on all standing characters.
-jumping D-
His best cross up attack. Works great on all characters, as well as crouchers.
-------
Baiting
-------
Another way to have the opponents come to you is to bait them out with attacks.
Just do a series of random attacks to have them confused enough to be like
"WTF?" and come right to you.
Example 1: cB, cB, cA, cA, f, d, df + K, b, d, db + K
Example 2: b, b, f, f, b + AB, f, d, df + K, b, d, db + K
You can also bait out wake up attacks. Just run / advance towards the opponent
while they wake up, then as they perform their move, start to backdash. This
will leave the opponent opened for a mistake punisher attack. Whatever you
throw out at the down opponent is entirely up to you. For instance, throwing
out jabs works well.
-------
Running
-------
Running is a another part in Duo Lon's offensive game. Using it when you
knockdown the opponent with f, d, df + K / b, d, db + K can be very effective.
You can run and use f, d, df + K or sC when close to the opponent. If sC links
or not, end it with qcf + P x3, qcf + K, or just qcf + K. But, be careful doing
this on characters who have uppercut attacks. Also, be ready to break throws
too. You may also use poke attacks like running far standing B / C. This at
least puts you in a safe position. If you anticipate a attack while running,
you may roll and retaliate. Running and jumping D sets up a potential cross up
attack. Just running and doing a jumping D into a sC / sD is good enough. You
can follow up with stuff of your own.
--------
Pressure
--------
-Jaki Juuryuu (qcf + P x3)-
While the opponent is blocking a crouch A/B or stand C/D, do qcf + P x3. This
move is absolutely safe when canceled into qcf + K / f, d, df + K after the
last hit of Jaki Juuryuu. The only real drawback of this move is it's lack of
Guard Crushing.
-Onpei Ryuujin Ha- f + K (follow up after qcf + P x1)
After following up with f + K, you may use qcf + K to advance towards the
opponent and start a new attack string or f, d, df + B, b, d, db + B. The f, d,
df + B follow up works great in the corner because the opponent can only jump
from Duo Lon's relentless attacks. So this way if they do jump, you can out
prioritize them with a jumping D or jumping forward B, D. If your quick enough,
you can connect his command grab (hcb, f + P) too.
-Suishu: Makyakuho- (when close, hcb, f + A/C)
A big part of his pressure game. This move alone can score free hits and offer
set ups after jump C/D, crouch A, or standing C/D. One I use often is cA, cA,
qcf + P x3, qcf + K, cA, hcb, f, + P into whatever you want. So tick throwing
Suishu: Makyakuho is essential. The cool part is, that the opponent can block
and still get hit by the throw. That is until they figure out to jump away from
it.
-Multi-Shift Attack (qcf + BC/CD)
If you can incorporate this into the attacks strings and have your secondary
character continue where Duo Lon left off on the pressure. I'd usually do a MSA
right after Duo Lon's crouch A / B. It works wonders. The worst that could
happen is that you might trade hits with the opponent if they have good
reflexes and retaliate.
---------------------
Building Power Stocks
---------------------
Aside from attacks strings, there at least 2 ways to build up power stocks.
-Suishu: Makyakuho- (when close, hcb, f + A/C)
If you distance yourself from the opponent or knock them down, you can throw
out Suishu: Makyakuho. The easiest way of throwing out Suishu: Makyakuho safely
would have to be AFTER a throw. You are at least guaranteed to get TWO off. But
after throwing, I'd normally just stick with qcf + K into attack strings.
-Genmu Kyaku: Naiga (f, d, df + K)-
-Genmu Kyaku: Gaiga (b, d, db + K)-
If theres a large distance between you and the opponent, you may throw these
attacks out one after the other. It not only builds meter but can also be used
to zone out the opponent.
---------------
Playing It Safe
---------------
-Jaki Juuryuu (qcf + P x3)-
As I said earlier, this move is absolutely safe when canceled into qcf + K / f,
d, df + K after the last hit of Jaki Juuryuu. So you should know by now that if
on a blocked stand C/D, you should qcf + P, qcf + K / f, d, df + K.
-Genmu Kyaku: Naiga (f, d, df + K)-
-Genmu Kyaku: Gaiga (b, d, db + K)-
When zoning with this move, you are able to immediately throw out another f, d,
df + K / b, d, db + K. But this only happens when you go from weak to strong
(f, d, df + B, b, d, db + D). If the D version hits of either moves, qcf + K to
advance close to the opponent or simply continue soing them out with the Genmu
Kyaku's.
-Pokes- (far standing B / C)
Poke attacks can be used for both offense and defense. Far standing B is a safe
attack. It's also his best zoning normal attack IMO. Far standing C is the type
of attack that should be used for zoning, or a run and poke tactic. Standing D
suffers from bad recovery time when blocked. Just go with whatever one is
comfortable. Far standing B is probably the best choice.

Mind Games after qcf + P x3, qcf + K
----------------------------------------------------
A nice thing to do when you hit with qcf + P x3, qcf + K is doing mix-ups! What
you do is hit with qcf + P x3, qcf + K, then stand C/D or jump towards the
airborne opponent and hit them with uf + B, D. The opponent can not recovery
roll. With connecting with stand C/D, you're able to CANCEL into ANY of his
Special Moves. This tricks the opponent when they land and recover from the
stand C/D juggle. Here's some nasty set-ups after Himou Kyaku (qcf + K).....
sD, qcf + D, sC, qcf + P x3, qcf + K, cA, cA, qcf + P, f + K, f, d, df + B, b,
d, db + D
sD, qcf + D, cA, hcb, f + P (command throw set up)
sD, qcf + D, sC, qcf + P, qcf + K, qcf + BC/CD (MSA set up)
sD, qcf + D, cA, cA, qcf + P x3, qcf + K (This continues the pressure right
after the opponent lands from the juggled stand D)
uf + B, D, hcb, f + P (command throw set up)
uf + B, D, qcf + K, sC, qcf + P x3, qcf + K, cA, cA, qcf + P, f + K, f, d, df +
B, f, d, df + D
uf + B, D, f, d, df + B, b, d, db + D, qcf + K, attack strings
uf + B, D, qcf + K, sC, qcf + K, sC, qcf + P x3, qcf + K, attack strings
One common string among expert Duo Lon players is.....
cB, cB, qcf + P x3, qcf + D, sD, qcf + D, cB, cB
This string is able to cross up the opponent before landing, causing them to be
in backturn position. Meaning as they land from the stand D, Duo Lon can attack
the opponent from behind with crouch B. This can set up alot of mix ups or even
the infinite if the opponent is close enough to the corner. The stand D is what
makes everything possible, so juggling the attack is critical timing.
------
Throws
------
Duo Lon can get throws off easily by simply "Tick Throwing". Tick Throwing is
done by hitting a opponent with a cA/B, then walk up and throw. While waking up
from a opponent's attack, you can get a throw in. You may do a "FEINT" Short
Jump, then Tick Throw. You can "WHIFF" jump C towards your opponent. When the
jump C Whiffs, you'll land right next to the opponent and be able to get a FREE
Throw in. But you must attack with jump C real late to WHIFF the attacks
animation. Ticking Throwing is a ABSOLUTE MUST LEARN Tactic! Works very well
against defensive players.
-------------
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
-Throws- (f or b + C/D)
Since 2k3 has one throw per character and the recovery is insane on the throws
too. You can JUST FRAME a throw on recovery. Easy way to do this is to
knockdown, then throw out a close sA. Once the sA WHIFFS, this should put you
can the right frame to throw the opponent again. With Iori doing his f + C
throw in the corner works great, because he'll still be near the opponent to
throw them again. All ya gotta do is switch up the buttons (C/D) on the throws.
You can do it infinite times until the throw is broken, depending on the
character and the throw. Cheaty, but effective!
-Back Dashing (b, b)-
While doing a back dash, you're giving a breif second of invincilbilty. So you
can hop over fireballs or excape a single attack in the corner with b, b.
-Command Throws-
Certian command throws and even Desperation Move throws can connect right after
you beat one of the opponents characters. As soon as you see or hear DOWN, get
next to where the character was defeated. Just as the new character lands where
the defeated character layed, simply do you command grab and BAM! INSTANT HIT!

Both characters appear in the opposite places. Benimaru stands with his hand
over his mouth in disbelief while saying, "Koitsu, masaka..... NUUOOOO! ("It
can't be, impossible.....NUUOOOO!), then does his sliding Gen'ei Hurricane
punch towards a back turned Duo Lon. As Benimaru approches Duo Lon, Duo Lon
teleports out of the way by falling apart as a skeleton and disappearing into
the ground, only to appear on the opposite side of Benimaru. Benimaru misses as
he says, "Chi!"("Damn!"), then Duo Lon resurfaces as Benimaru looks from behind
and says, "yaharina" ("As expected"). After that, they both go into their
fighting stances.
-Entrance 3- (Duo Lon vs. Shen Woo)
Duo Lon has his back turned to Shen Woo while saying, "Misete morau? (Show me
what you've got?)". As Shen has his back turned with his fist clenched, saying
