This is my very very first FAQ at anything so you know, be gentle ;).
I want to give the lowdown on the characters movelist and some other
info too. I know there're some other people who can do FAQs way better
than mine (Chris you're the GOD) so I hope this can be useful
and shed some light unto you ^_^, for any correction, flame, rant,
contribution, request, etc email me at

FAQ Notation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll take elements from the typical notation found in most Kao Megura's
FAQs, hey they are the easier for reading after all and I won't come up
with some intrincate FAQ notation system that only I can understand,
IMHO Chris McDonald refined the art of the notation, so in nutshell it
can't get better than this (heck even himself switched to another
notation for his KOF 2001 FAQ and had to comeback to this "classic"
notation when he did newer FAQs as KOF2K2 and SVC:Chaos)

CHOU HISSATSU WAZA
qcb,db,f + P Power Geyser
qcf(x2) + P Buster Wolf
LEADER HISSATSU WAZA
qcb,hcf + AC Power Stream
NOTES:
- D hits twice, same as in Garou
- Rising Upper can be comboed as in Garou but the range was shortened
from previous KOFs
- df + D is fast and very comboable
- Power Dunk can be breaked only if it connects, not when blocked or
whiff
- After the Breaking you can juggle the opponent
- Power Charge and its Follow-Ups can be delayed a bit
- Crack Shoot (B) is overhead but (D) isn't
- Power Charge can be Super Cancelled after the second hit
- Power Geyser is a lot faster now but there's not "aftershock" in the
sense that after the explosion, the move won't hit any more. In previous
KOFs, the Geyser would still hit as it's disappearing
- If Buster Wolf 1st hit is blocked Terry doesn't follow it up
- Power Stream is like Terry's version of Raging Storm. Terry is
invincible once the beam of light appears during the Power Stream

NOTES:
- Sliding can't be comboed into Bakuretsu Ken anymore

- The first hit of Screw Upper (the white hurricane) has low priority:
you can hit Joe during this time and cause him to abort the rest of his
Screw Upper
- Shijou Saikyou noi Bakuretsu Straight!!! is like Ralf's Galactica
Phantom, coming out slow but unblockable but it has short range though

NOTES:
- f + B is slower now
- If Kouryuu Koukyaku Geri comboed into, it is cancellable into Hien
Ryujin Kyaku, and possibly his LDM as well
- Robert throws Ryuugeki Ken with his feet now and the projectile is
very fast
- Ryuu Zanshou is back again
- Gen'ei Kyaku is slower now
- Hien Shippu Kyaku returns as in KOF98, but is a manual move this time
around, by the way it's really fast
- Robert can hold and charge his Haou Shou Kou Ken increasing the damage
dealt to the opponent. When uncharged, though, it's fast enough to be
chained into
- His LDM's, in spite the different names, are just very fast and
powerful version of his Hien Ryujin Kyaku.they just vary in the angle of
attack, very fast and powerful version of his Hien Ryujin Kyaku
B version goes downwards like the normal Ryujin Kyaku, D version goes
straight forward

- f + B is an overhead attack that can be cancelled only with
Suzumebachi (Taikuu), but that's in the corner only
- If Malin hits her opponent during the Kagerou and she gets hit as
well, her opponent will be juggled, but she won't follow up with the
multi-Onigumo. In this case, you can follow up with another attack
instead

- He can freely swich from one stance to the other without further
trouble, while in stances he can do only 1 of his DM/LDM moves and is
interesting to note that while his LDM requires AC to be pressed, while
he's in Ryouko Stance it can be done pressing only C
- LDM hits low, then juggles opponent. You can follow up after that

* Rou-Ga is an illusionary Katsu-Ga, after it Gato hops back
- The first part of the Ten-Ryuu Retsu-Kiba LDM depletes 2 levels of the

LEADER HISSATSU WAZA
qcf(x2) + BD Shingo Kinsei Ore Shiki: Gou Hinokuruma
NOTES:
- Both Aragami and Dokugami are super cancellable
- Dokugami can cast a little spark near Shingo's fist from time to time,
it'll cause the move to have a bit more reach and hit twice, after it
Shingo will be surprised and glancing around furtively in amazement
- Shingo Kick is now aerial too, can be made from backdash
- Nie Togi is super cancellable too
- Idouyoke is a rolling evade like Ken's (from SF) or Goro's
- Some people think "stand C, f + B, Aragami/Dokugami" resulting in an
Oni Yaki instead is a bug, but it isn't, you just have to tap f + B
very quickly so the game doesn't recognize the "f" as part of the "qcf"
motion needed for Aragami/Dokugami thus ending in an Oni Yaki, but it
doesn't matter much though, because "stand C, f + B, Aragami/Dokugami"
doesn't work anymore :/
- Nie Togi range is shorter now: if you chained into this move, it's
possible for the 2nd and 3rd hit to miss
- Burning Shingo animation changed: It starts with an Aragami now
- LDM is a more powerful version of Oboro Guruma Mikansei and is named
"Chariots of Fire" so yes, one might guess it burns the opponent with
actual flames at the end, some people claim to have seen this and that,
and they say it's only a random ocurrence. I haven't see it myself
though...

- Heaven's Drive is like Ken's Shouryu Reppa and its invincible since
start to the end of the first Crow Bites
- Chain Drive is very fast this year, so fast that it can be used as an
anti-air (he doesn't wait as long between the glasses hit and the elbow,
and the elbow now juggles into the rest of the auto-combo, so no more
"missing" Chain Drive)

- 88 Shiki reach is shorter than before
- If the first hit of the 88 Shiki connects but the second hit misses,
Kyo's opponent will recover first. Avoid using this move when away from
corners
- Aragami chain follow-ups are done with A only (for punch moves)
- Dokugami chains follow-ups are done with C only
- Timing to follow up his 75 Shiki Kai changed
- Orochinagi has longer period of invincibility now: Kyo is immune to
certain attacks once he finishes lifting/igniting his hand
- Orochinagi timing is also tricky this year: if you just press P the
move will come out very slow (almost as slow as in KOF99) so it won't
combo, BUT if you just hold P a little longer Orochinagi will come out
VERY fast (the fastest ever in the history of the move)
- 182 Shiki is about the same as in KOF2000
- LDM can be comboed and it has some sort of "vacuum" effect, that means
that if one hit connects all other hits coming after it will connect
too. Kyo's body is on fire while doing the move so even if you touch him
you'll be dragged into the blitz!!

Notes:
- Yumebiki is faster (similar to KOF97), but still chainable with
Yaotome. The timing is different though
- Kototsuki In is faster and covers more lenght this year, it's easily
comboable and if blocked Iori skips the second hit
- Oni Yaki has better priority this year. C version "slides" forward
- First and second hit of Aoi Hana has longer recovery time now
- Kuzukaze now grabs immediatly, so no more using it as an anti-air
- Ya Sakazuki is faster than the KOF 97/98 version. You still can't
chain it however
- Saika can only be done when Iori is the Leader, although it isn't a
LDM per se
- Iori's LDM is the same as Orochi Iori's EXCEED in SVC: CHAOS, but this
time around the flame turns red before the end, it's also an overhead
attack and its range is much better than in SVC

- LDM is Orochinagi. Both DM and LDM Orochinagi is faster than Kyo's and
chainable from 75 Shiki Kai
- Oniyaki has longer autoguard frames than Kyo's. If both Kyo and
Kusanagi launch their Oniyaki at the same time, Kusanagi's will connect
- 212 Shiki: Kototsuki You is similar to Iori's: it's faster, goes
further and stops on the first hit if blocked, it can't be comboed off
"stand C, f + B" as in previous years
- He's basically his 2002 version without the Mu Shiki

N/A N/A
Notes:
- No code has been discovered that allows you to play as Maki, only way
to get her is through DIP switches
- f + A: Jokatsu: Sousou (Zheng Zheng) (This move is a launcher)
- 108 Katsu: Tamayura no Shitsune works differently depending on the
button used to do the move, if A she teleports once and does the reflect
attack, if C is used she teleports twice [if you are mid-to-far from
your opponent she teleports twice forward, if you are close, she
teleports once forward and once backwards] and do the reflecting attack
- 100 Katsu: Tenjin no Kotowari works like Chizuru anti-air, but if it
connects she does 3 follow-ups hits
- qcb + P works different depending on the button too, if A, she does
her feared 11-hit combo, it's blockable, but if she connects the 1st
hit, she'll do the full combo ending on a final blow once you're on the
ground. The last hit is an overhead and it's escapable/blockable. If you
use C button, she does a fast dash to the other side of the screen that
knocks the opponent down, it's REALLY fast
- qcb + B is a simple forward teleport that returns her to the original
spot she was standing on, For distracting purposes
- For the d,d + P / K attacks, here's a little table:
* d,d+A: She sends a shadow forward in a "leaping" manner
* d,d+B: She teleports forward. Same as above except this time its her
* d,d+C: She leaps into the air and does a cross-over kick
* d,d+D: Her shadows leaps into the air and heads towards the opponent
Hits low, very fast
- For Rimen 85 Katsu: Reigi no Ishizue, Chizuru comes out and to the
"sealing", it seems Maki can't do it herself ^^U

- df + C is the high kick that use to be Rugal's CD attack
- After any Tokushu Waza you can follow up with a Reppuken motion
(qcf + K), with B version Adel does the normal Reppuken (but it's funny
that the Reppuken doesn't hit you, just the kick), with D version Adel
does an axe kick and throw a Reppuken,
- Dark Barrier can reflect any projectile attack
- B Genocide Cutter comes out instantly, with C version Adel slides
across the screen and do it at the end.

BOSSES INFO
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After your third match, a small cut-scene is shown where a priestess
cast a spell, after it you get to fight with Kusanagi (the Kyo clone
that we first saw in KOF2002)
The way you defeat Kusanagi affects you further progress in the game.
- If you defeat Kusanagi with a normal/special move:
You have another match and after it another cutscene is shown, this time
the priestess is talking to you, she reveals herself as this year's KOF
sponsor...and nothing more, she says you'll be tested, after it, Rugal's
portrait is shown briefly and you find yourself in an air-carrier, it is
then revealed that you're in the Sky-Noah and your opponent will be none
other than Rugal's son himself: ADELHEID BERNSTEIN, his sister Rose is
in the background playing the piano.
If you win, another cutscene is shown, Adelheid is laying in the floor,
his sister seems very pissed off and claims for vengeance, Adel then
tells her to let it be, "Defeat is defeat, sister" are his exact words.
It seems the son is a better sportman than his father ever was ^^U
- If you defeat Kusanagi with a DM/LDM:
You have another match and after it a cutscene is shown, this time the
priestess reveals that you were being tested and you passed the test.
She reveals herself to be Chizuru Kagura (you can see some weird
"black threads" behind her), the sponsor of this year's KOF, after that
another figure resembling Chizuru is shown, it turns out to be, that
other person is nothing more than Maki Kagura, Chizuru's sister who was
killed in 1986 by Goenitz!! Those two proceed to fight you after that.
If you defeat Kagura Sisters, another cutscene is shown, a strange
figure appears, it's named Mukai and it's a servant of a greater power.
After the fight, he claims that his masters's time has come, and leaves
alive, then a image of him and 4 other more servants is shown, and it's
interesting to see that they are on the palm of a gigantic hand, one can
stop to wonder "who they are?" and "who's the owner of that hand?"
It seems KOF 2K4 will be full of surprises!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECRET CODES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far only the codes for Kusanagi and Chizuru Kagura are out:
- Chizuru: Up, rotate counter-clockwise to up-right, then clockwise to

- Kusanagi: Down, rotate clockwise to up-left, then counter-clockwise
