2. HOW DO I GET SKILLS?
well according to the www.neogeo.co.jp site, each time you complete
a stage you get a percentage increase in finding a rare skill, base
on the difficulty setting. If you are plaing on easy, you get 0
points, normal 3, and hard gets 6 points. These points are the
percentage of you obtaining a rare skill for the round. Not exactly
sure how this works, but I have two ideas:
let's say we are fighting at hard difficulty...
you play against 4 people in the sunken ship stage, so you get a 24%
chance of winning a rare, whereas you play 10 people in the ship
graveyard, and so you get a 60% chance of getting a rare???
or you get 6% increases for each stage you play until you get a rare,
and then it will reset to 0. Can't quite tell, since I've gotten a few
streaks where three boards in a row give me rare skills.
3. WHY GET ALL THE SKILLS?
It may sound pathetic, but snk is promoting the KoF r-2 with a little
competition, in which 100 special seiko watches will awarded to the
people who complete making mode. I only need three more. I haven't
heard anything, but I think one of them is called scrap... :-/
Anyhow, It's also kind of fun when you get all the transformations to
have Mai dressed as Rugal, talking to Kasumi about how Andy belongs to
her... I guess I'm just a bit twisted here. Actually, some of the skills
are a hoot. HIPITY is one of the most interesting, as it gives anyone a
unique counter that draws from 5 of their moves. Basically, it's a 5 hit
combo, but it seems to use different motions for each character...
4. HOW CAN i KILL OF MY ENEMY FASTEST, WITHOUT GETTING HURT?
Some characters have a combo setup that will take advantage of the CPU's
startup lag. The CPU takes about 2-3 seconds to actually start its
attack, but in case you throw a projectile, or certain specials, it'll
startup right away. Anyhow, here are a few ways too annihilate your foe
without worrying about which skills you are holding.
These are not really combos, but more like routines.When you see a part 1
and a part 2, you should do part 2 after the opponent is dizzy, as it is
the more damaging combo.
Chris (normal or orochi)
jump A/B, stand A, forward+B, jump A/B, stand A, forward+B, QCB+A
this will dizzy any opponent, unless your faint rate is altered.
you can follow with:
jump A/B, stand A, forward+B, QCB+A
or more powerful (for RYO or IORI, who have higher intrinsic defense)
jump A/B, stand A, forward+B, HCF+B
and then:
jump A/B, F,QCF+A. (should kill)
or any DM/SDM
SHERMIE (normal)
(part 1)jump A/B, stand A, forward+B
(part 2)jump A/B, stand A, forward+B, HCB+A, QCF+B
follow with part 2 again.
note:watch all the hits, and then look at the hit count on the screen.
Even though the shermie whip hits twice, it is a throw and the hits are
not counted. :-\
SHERMIE (orochi)
(part 1)jump A/B, stand A, forward+B
(part 2)jump A/B, stand A, forward+B, HCB+B, QCB+A
follow with part 2 again.
RUGAL
jump A/B, stand A, jump A/B, stand A, HCB+A, walk close and QCF+A(hold)
this will create the electricity ball, when the enemy gets up, it will
either get ticked to death, or attempt to roll past, which is just as
futile :) The second standing A should hit twice, otherwise, the combo
routine won't work, so try to be close in the second punch.
YASHIRO
(part 1)jump A/B, stand A, forward+B
(part 2)jump A/B, stand A, forward+A, HCB+A
keep doing HCB+A right as CPU is getting up,
even on difficult it is too stupid to block.
IORI
(part 1)jump A/B, stand A, forward A(two hits)
(part 2)jump A/B, stand A, forward A, QCF+B(or F,QCF+B)
QCB+Ax3
SHINGO
(part 1) jump A/B, stand A, QCF+B
(part 2) jump A/B, stand A, QCB+B
BLUE MARY
just kidding :) I wished that she was here, along with Yamazaki and Billy...
5. IMPORTANT POINTS:
-> Any skill with the fifth box
containing something like "'99 kyo" or "'99
anyone" means that the skill is from the
dreamcast link. Keep in mind that some of
these are attainable without the link.

8. FINAL REMARKS:
special thanks to:
->Faust,
[email protected], who makes the full KoF R-2 faq. If not for him,
I doubt I'd have bought a dreamcast. :)
->NeoGeo DHP mailing list, for giving me a good laugh, and a modicum of KoF info.
->SNK for sticking with the black and gold neogeo system and continually making it
better
no thanks to:
->The development team that brought us "Metal Slug: 1st Mission," they muffed a great
chance at a great game.
->Anyone that intends to emulate the NGP, it's cheap, easy to find, and worth buying.
