Introduction

This is a FAQ for the awesome fighting game, Match of the Millennium.  This is
what happens when two well known companies decide to get together in order to
give their fans what they want.  There is tons of stuff included in this game.
Besides a really good fighting game in and of itself (Neo Geo Pocket has
produced nothing but high quality fighting games and this one is no exception)
there is a cool Olympic mode with mini-games and lots of other stuff.  This FAQ
will be your guide to this game.  Also, this FAQ is copyrighted by me, Z-Force.
I don't mind if you want to take this FAQ and put it on your website, as long
as you e-mail me first, mainly so I can list you under my list of places to get
the FAQ.  Do not try selling it or otherwise using it to make a profit.  Also,
I want to thank all of the people who e-mail me with info and stuff.  Also, if
you send in something, and I give credit to someone else, please do not be
offended.  I've gotten quite a lot of submissions and such, and I use the first
person that sends it to me.  Case in point with Akuma's Raging Demon and
Teleport.  A lot of people have sent me that move.  This holds true mostly
because while Gamefaqs was on vacation, I did a lot of updating without anyone
seeing the FAQ, so people aren't sure what to submit.  Again, if I put someone
else's name on your submission, please don't be offended, I'm just using the
first name that sends the data to me.

Modes of gameplay

Storyline:  M. Bison and Geese Howard have joined forces to hold the Battle
Tournament of Evil.  The title of World's Mightiest and an obscene amount of
money has been promised to the victor.  The real intent behind this event is
the creation of an "Immortal Military", whose 1st elite initiates will consist
of captured contestants.  (Note:  It's cool to me that at least they came up
with some plotline which links SNK and Capcom characters together, rather than
just a generic "Fighters from SNK and Capcom battle it out, who will be the
Victor?" type of thing)

Tournament Mode:  This is the main mode of the game.  There are 3 forms of
tournaments you can play:  Single, which is straight one on one fighting, as in
Street Fighter or Fatal Fury.  Then there is Tag mode, which is 2 on 2
fighting, like seen in Capcom's Versus series.  (Why is it that the Neo Geo
Pocket can successfully do tag battling, but Playstation can't?)  Finally,
there is Team Battle, which is 3 on 3, like in King of Fighters.  Whether you
pick an SNK character or a Capcom character changes the storyline and the cut
scenes you see slightly.  If you are playing teams, and choose a mixed team,
the 1st player you pick will determine what you see.  This is how the battles
go:  First, you will fight 2 matches against random opponents.  Then you will
see a cut scene featuring Geese and Billy if you have a Capcom character, or
Bison and Vega if you are an SNK character.  Then you will fight 2 more
matches.  Then you see another cut scene, where your character is attacked by
either Billy or Vega.  Your character's rival will appear and beat them up.
You then fight a 1 round, 1 on 1 fight against your rival.  Then, you fight in
the finals match.  After winning, there is another scene where you are abducted
by Geese and Bison.  Then you must fight 3 guards.  If you are a Capcom
character, you face Leona, Kyo, and Haohmaru.  If you are an SNK character, you
fight Morrigan, Zangief and Akuma.  This will be a Trio style battle, though if
you didn't pick team mode, you will be at a disadvantage.  After beating the
guards, you must face the G & B Alliance.  This match is really tough in
singles, because you must face them both consecutively without regaining any
power in between.  In Tag mode, it's just a regular tag match, which is still
tough as Geese and Bison are powerful opponents.  In Team mode, It's a KOF
style match, but you will have a 3 vs 2 advantage.  When you beat these guys,
your final challenge is Either Orochi Iori or Evil Ryu depending on which type
of character you are.  Once you win this fight, you win the game.

This note about fighting the rival character was sent in by [email protected]

About your Rival Characters section, depending on whether you win or lose
changes the outcome of the game. If you lose you don't have to play against
Evil Ryu or Orochi Iori, If you win, you do.  If you lose you are also not able
to get more than 1 piece for the hidden people at the end of the game.

Also, there are 3 styles of fighting: Average, Counter, and Rush.

Average:  Your attack meter increases as you attack.  You can gain up to two
levels of super meter.  If you have 2 levels, you will do a more powerful
version of your super move.  (Similar to Street Fighter Alpha series)

Counter:  When you increase your power with a special command, attack strength
can be increased and you can do a Super Impact Blast.  You also have Critical
hits that can occur with an Impact Blast.  These do greater damage.  If your
meter is flashing and you have a full meter, you can do a L2 super.  (Closest
mode to KOF or Fatal Fury)

Rush:  The power gauge is increased with Chain Combo attacks.  You can store up
to 3 levels of super energy, but can only do level 1 super moves with them.
(Most similar to Street Fighter 3 I think where some supers can be stocked
multiple times.  I'm not sure though since I hate Street Fighter 3)

Olympic Mode:  Enter your character in the Olympic mode.  See the Olympics
section for details.

Sparring:  A Practice Mode where you can practice the various moves.

Setup:  Configure various game options here, such as difficulty, etc.

Vs. Mode:  You can Link up with another NGPC to battle it out with a friend.
Also, you can link up with Cardfighter's Clash to send your card completion
data over, which I would assume unlocks certain secrets.  You can also link
with Dreamcast's SNK vs Capcom title (which isn't out yet) but I have no idea
what this will accompish.  According to Faust, you can send data over from
Cardfighter Clash which will help to unlock secret characters based on the card
% you have achieved.  Also, it doesn't flip over panels you have already
uncovered, so if you have access to another NGPC, it can be a good way to
unlock some secrets.

You can also link this game up with the game Capcom vs SNK:  Millennium Fight
2000 (for Dreamcast)  This allows you to transfer VS points you have gained in
Olympic Mode to the DC game.  This is very helpful, as it allows you to get
lots of points to unlock secrets in a much shorter time.  Unfortunately for me,
I no longer have my DC Link Cable : (

The following info was sent to me by Tom Sharp.  When he tried to link between
his CFC and MotM, he had 84% of the cards in CFC (which is an impressive feat
as you know if you play the game, since it's tough to get that high)  All he
got was 400 Vs. points and 5 hidden character squares.  In other words, it's
probably not worth the effort that much.

This was sent in to me by Ron McRae.  If you have 100% completion on
Cardfighter Clash, and you transfer the data over to MOTM, it will unlock ALL
of the hidden guys and also give you 5000 VS points.

Entry Mode:  You can personalize your own character, tag team, or trio.  You
pick the members, the team name, and also a saying for them to say when they
win.  This is a pretty cool feature to have, though you can only do one single
character, one tag team, and one 3-person team.  You can also pick that
character's background music.

OLYMPIC MODE

First you must select a team, either the SNK Team (coached by Rimururu), or the
Capcom Team (coached by Karin, from SFA3)  You can then choose which events you
play in.  As you compete in the events, you earn medals and points.  When you
get enough points, you can unlock new special moves for each character.  Make
sure you use the talk command to get advice from your coach or to hear such
exciting things as Nakoruru and Rimururu's Comedy act, or Karin's endorsements
for Cardfighter Clash.

Universal Events

Survival:  To win, you must beat 100 foes.  You only get one life gauge.  Most
of the foes are much weaker than normal in this mode.  After about 40-50 wins,
the opponents get tougher.

Time Attack:  See how fast you can defeat 5 opponents.  There is a 7 minute
time limit, which ends the event.

First Blast:  You face 10 opponents, and whomever gets the first hit wins.  You
fight the next opponent, win or lose, and your score is based on win
percentage, winning moves and time taken.

SNK only Events

Target 9

You must shoot down the saucers that appear by moving the cursor in their
direction then pressing A to shoot.  You only have 6 shots, but you can reload
by pressing B.  If you are too late, you will be hit and lose some life.
Occasionally, a red saucer will appear.  If you hit it, you get some life back.
Game ends when you run out of life.

Blade Arts

This event features Jubei from Samurai Showdown.  You must slash straw dummies
by pressing the proper button for the direction they are in.  Different colored
dummies are worth different amounts of points, and if you get 5 in a row, you
get a bonus.  Game ends when the timer on the top expires.  Red dummies are
worth the most, but also disappear quickly.  Yellow dummies are worth 300
points, Green ones are worth 600 points, and Red ones are worth 1200 points.

Capcom only Events

Ghost Trick

You get to play as Arthur (from Ghosts and Goblins) and the object is to jump
to the platforms to gather treasure while avoiding the gargoyles.  You get
points at the end depending on the amount of treasure you get.  Game ends when
you run out of time or are hit by a gargoyle.  You gain 50 points for jumping
to a platform, 1700 for grabbing a money bag, and 5000 for getting a treasure
chest.  They don't pop up very frequently.  Also, you gain 1 versus point for
every 100 points you gain in this event, not sure if this is how it works for
the others.  At 30000 points, this event becomes much tougher.

Cat Walk:

In this event, you play as Felicia, from Darkstalkers.  You must watch the
commands that appear and press the buttons at the proper time (Much like
Parappa the Rapper, actually)  If you do it right, Felicia dances and the
Boogie Gauge increases.  If the gauge is at Max when all commands have been
inputted, you clear the stage.  If you miss, the gauge falls.  If it hits zero,
the event ends.  There are 6 songs you can choose from.  Later ones earn higher
scores, but are tougher.  So far, I've only been able to complete the first 4.
The 5th and 6th ones are super fast and nearly impossible.

The following info was sent to me by OLLIVER about the Cat Walk event.

In the Cat Walk Olympic event, it's possible to get a Platnum medal (Nakoruru's
level or higher), as well as get a Crystal and then Master medals (only on
Chun-li's level).  These came as a bit of a surprise to me.
Also, if you select the level with the option button instead of the A button
Felecia will be in her alternate colors (red and white), and the scrolling
icons (arrows and letters) change.  The Arrows are now represented as mice
facing in different directions, the "A"s are now fish, and the "B"s become
bells ^_^  it doesn't seem to have any affect on the scoring, however it adds a
new challenge to play it this way.

Personally, I can't even beat this event the normal way... :P


Moves You can gain in Olympic Mode.  As far as I can tell, Olympic Secret moves
require a level 2 Super Meter to use.

These are my current records for Olympic Mode, and the medals I have earned
from them, as well as the character I used if applicable.  This will help you
when determining what score to shoot for to earn a medal.

TARGET 9:  65500 (Gold)
BLADE ARTS:  78000 (Platinum)
SURVIVAL:  93 wins (using M Bison) (Platinum)
TIME ATTACK:  0'44"18 (using M Bison) (Master)
FIRST BLAST:  93200 (using Evil Ryu) (Master)
GHOST TRICK:  84350 (Platinum  I think you need 60000 to reach gold)
CAT WALK:  45800 (Gold)

Reader High Scores:  These are the top scores as sent to me by others.  If you
have a high score, send it in.  I'll post the top 3 scores for each event that
I have.  That way, it can be a sense of personal pride for those who have high
scores, as well as a way for me to feel bad when I realize that my records all
suck when compared to everyone else's :P.  By the way, I'll only post one score
per person.  In other words, if you already have a record, and send me a new
score, it will replace your old score.  For survival, I'll list all the people
who attained 100 wins, then the two people behind them.  Also, please note that
I assume you are being honest in the scores that you send me.  If you send in
an illegitimate score in, you are proving nothing to anyone.

U = up
D = down
F = forward
B = back
Df = Down forward
Uf = Up forward
Ub = Up Back
Db = Down Back
Qcf = Quarter Circle Forward (d, df, f)
Qcb = Quarter Circle Back (d, db, b)

Hcb = Half Circle Back (f, df, d, db, b)
Dp = Dragon Punch Motion (f, d, df)
Rdp = Reverse Dragon Punch Motion (b, d, db)
360 = 360 degree rotation on joystick (aka the spinning piledriver motion.
This motion can also be done with hcb, then ub))

SNK Character Movelists

Kyo Kusanagi

Personally, I don't think Kyo is a very good character, compared with some of
the others.  He lacks a real projectile attack, and most of his moves are
similar to Shoto-clone moves, but aren't as powerful.  His super attack is good
though, as it covers a wide range and does good damage.

Terry is a good all around character.  He has a lot of powerful moves at his

connects, although it's fairly easy to block.

blocked.  However, for 2 levels of super energy, it doesn't do much damage.
[qcf + K]

Iori Yagami

Iori is somewhat like Kyo, but better IMO.  He has an actual projectile move,
as well as some others that are pretty powerful.  His super is devastating at

Ryo Sakazaki

Ryo plays a lot like Ryu, but is somewhat different.  He has an air projectile
which is a nice plus.  His Hurricane style Kick is different than the
Shoto-clones as well.    His Fireball Super is devastating if it connects.  The
Zan Retsu Ken is also a good surprise move.

Mai is one of my favorite characters on the SNK side.  She's fast, and has

En Bu for some solid damage.  Her Swan Dive is also very effective as a counter
to projectile attacks.

*** FLAME ATTACK SPIN qcb x2 + P  Mai leaps up and comes down in a blaze of

for getting big damage off this move, sent in by Raven.  Mai's flame spin super
will take a lot of damage only if the person is in the air or if the person is
onthe corner.It takes about 40% to 75% damage if done right.  [qcb + P]

I don't think either of the SS characters are that great compared to some of

sword provides good range and can stop a lot of attacks.   He only has one
super (not counting his Olympic move)  Basically, he's powerful, but lacks a
variety of attacks.

Nakoruru

Nakoruru is the better of the two SS characters IMO.  She's a little faster and
also has a greater variety of attacks.  Her attacks with Mamahaha are useful
when used in the right situations.  Also, she does almost as much damage as
Haohmaru, but is also faster.

Athena Asamiya

Athena can't do much block damage with her Pheonix Arrow in this game (in KOF,
that was a very useful attack)  but she's still a pretty good character.   She
has a lot of attacks at her disposal, and if you mix them up well, you can

Ryu is Ryu... If you don't know who he is, you shouldn't even be reading this.
Anyway, Ryu's a good all around character for getting into the game.  He has
powerful moves and some good super attacks.  Still, once you learn him, you may
be better pressed to play as Ken or Akuma, as both of them are more powerful.

Chun Li

Chun Li is somewhat like Mai, fast and a good variety of offensive attacks.

The man is here, and he's just as powerful as he was in the Street Fighter

needs more offensive variety since he only has two moves.  I say he only NEEDS
his 2 moves, and is perfectly capable of whipping some ass with them.  Also,
his regular moves are quite effective.

*** NASH'S LEGACY: Charge b, f, b, f, K  This is Charlie/Nash's super from the
Alpha series.  It can connect from just about anywhere, but is most effective
up close.  It also looks real cool, because Guile adds his own twist to the
move by knocking the opponent in the air with a big uppercut, then catching
them with the air backbreaker. [b, f, b, f, K (no charge needed)]


Zangief

Zangief is one of my favorite guys in this game, mainly since it's one of the
only 2 games where I can consistently pull off the SPD.  (the other being
Street Fighter EX)  Anyway, this move alone does mass damage and can grab most
foes out of their moves.  (you can even grab M. Bison out of his teleport)  His
spinning lariat is good for defense and can juggle foes for nice damage as
well.  The Final Atomic Buster is devastating if you can pull it off.

Dan sucks... in a fun way.  He's like a cross between Ryu and Ryo, with a
rotten egg thrown in :P  His moves aren't very good but he can TAUNT!!!  Best

Here's some comments on Dan from readers.

Sent in by BamBam: his Shinku Gado-Ken comes in two different versions,
depending on what command style of fighting you choose: 1) with RUSH, the
"Capcom-Style" of play, his super is just like his super in the Alpha series.
An extended fireball. 2) with AVERAGE and COUNTER, the "Mixed-Style" and the
"SNK-style," Dan's super looks exactly like Ryo's Haoh Sho Koh Ken. Of course,
this is obviously meant to mock Ryo even more.

Dan down to a sliver of his life.  A fun move to do (it functions like the Shun

doesn't do much damage. [b, f, b, f, P (no charge needed)]


Sakura

Sakura is like a crummy version of Ryu.  She doesn't have that great of moves,
and isn't even as fun to use as Dan.  I'd steer clear of her if I were you.

Secret Character Move Lists

Akuma

Akuma is as mighty as he's ever been.  One problem with him is that his air
fireball isn't very useful.  He usually practically hits the ground before he
shoots it.  Ryo and Morrigan pause in the air to shoot their fireballs, making
them more useful.  One new addition is the difference in the Shun Goku Satsu
move.  It is now a charge super, making it much easier to use in a combo.
Definitely one of the most powerful characters in the game.

Geese's Raging Storm (naturally, it has the same button command)  It looks

motion)

Yuri Sakazaki

Yuri is a pretty good character, but not the best.  She has some moves of Ryo
combined with some of her own.  Her Fire Barrier attack is very good for
defense, and she has a good variety of super attacks.

though it has even less range.  (You must be right next to the foe to connect)
However, it does HUGE damage, around 60%!
[qcf + P]

B.B. Hood

B.B. Hood may not be the most powerful character, but she's a lot of fun to use
with all her crazy weapons and stuff she can throw.  Her supers do a lot of
damage if they connect, but getting them to connect can be a problem.  Her jump
kicks and low kicks shoot out land mines which knock down the foes, giving you
an edge.

P.  The doll will take a small bounce then explode.)  Very damaging and fun to
use, but not very useful since the opponent can see it coming from a mile away.
[qcb + P]

Akari

Akari is another fun but silly character to use.  Her moves are pretty
formidable, though I don't know what use falling asleep during the fight does
(maybe it's a taunt move.)  Her demon attack super does a lot of damage and
looks real cool as well, but you must be close to use it.  Overall, she's a
pretty good character to use, and is very cheap and effective against the CPU.

screen away from the opponent or closer to connect with it.  [don't know]

Geese Howard

Since Geese is one of the bosses, naturally he is pretty cheap.  His Raging
Storm is VERY powerful and almost impossible to counter.  Basically, if you are
jumping at him when he does it, you're pretty much screwed.  His fireball
(Reppu Ken) is also very powerful.

M. Bison

Bison is pretty much exactly the same as he is in Street Fighter Alpha.  As

Evil Ryu is the most powerful of all the Shoto-clones.  He's got all of Ryu's

Combos Section

What I'm going to do for this section is take submissions that people send in
to me and put them here.  I'll list each contributor, then his/her section for
combos that they sent me.  Thus, there may be some overlap if more than one
person sends me combos for the same character.

Combos sent in by Mizuhara  (His combos work Average style unless otherwise
stated)

Key for his combos:

SiB's are Super Impact Blast moves
u = up
d = down

f = forward
b = back
df = Down forward
uf = Up forward
ub = Up Back
db = Down Back
p = Punch
k = Kick
p+k = Punch and Kick simultaneously
QCB = Quarter Circle Back
QCF = Quarter Circle Forward
HCB = Half Circle Back
HCF = Half Circle Forward
Anything in {}'s are optional or interchangable when noted
Any directions or buttons in CAPS means to HOLD or CHARGE(where applicable)

Note: WHen hitting your opponents DEEP as you jump in (meaning hitting them in
the knees or waist) your opponent cringes instead of reeling back so it's
easier to hit with some jabs or light kicks.  I've also noticed that jumping in
with A instead of B causes your opponent to cringe as well.  A standing A or B
always makes your opponents reel...watch the animations you'll see the
difference.
ALL combo's listed assume that you are hitting your opponent DEEP as you jump
in.

Kyo:
----
1.Jump in K->P->QCF+k,k->{HCB+K} or {b,d,db+P: lotsa damage} or {Any of the
Aragami combo's. Note: second hit doesn't connect in combo 1...the K never
connects in combo 2, combo 3 connect VERY well}
2.Jump in K->P->QCF+k,k->Serpent Wave (Level 2) {You can use kick too did you
know that?} Note: The later you hit your opponent with the Serpent Wave as
he/she's falling causes more damage or so it seems.
3.Jump in K->d+k->f,d,df+P
4.Jump in P->P->{any Aragami combo}
5.Jump in P->P->{Any SiB...Serpent wave is okay but watch how long you charge
it}


Terry: {my fav}
------
1. {Jump in K->P or K->}HCF+K->QCB+K->D,u+P (Works mainly in the corner...if
you start hitting your opponent with the crack shoot LATE you have a better
chance of landing the Rising Tackle)
2. HCF+K->D,u+P {Bland bleh..does lotsa hits...damage is mediocre though}
3.Jump in K->P->QCF+P
4.{Jump in K}->HCF+K->QCB+K->f,d,df+K {I've connected with this ONCE you might
have to just use k instead of K on the dunk}
5. Jump in P->p->HCF+K->HCB+P (looks cool...worthless though)

Iori:
-----
1. Jump in P->d+k->p->f,d,df+K{cancel into Deadly Flower}
2. Jump in P->d+k->p->QCF+P
3.Jump in P->P->QCB+P{x3} {Deadly Flower motions have to come out RIGHT after
the P connects...as Iori's hand is coming down else the opponent can block
after being hit by the P}
4.Jump in P->P->HCF+P->Maiden Masher {Opponent is pushed too far after the Scum
Gale to be hit by anything unless it's the maiden masher...while Iori's head's
down he can do anything but it has to be quick or the opponent will
recover...that's why when you use the Maiden Masher it comes RIGHT out and he
dashes forward so he doesn't waste much time...anything else your opponent will
and can block)
5. Jump in K or P->HCB+K {This combo sucks...reason being the Dark Crescent
move sucks.  He takes a split second to start running so it gives the opponent
time to jump or block.  Only if you are UP CLOSE can this move start and
connect with no delay...So do it in the CORNER}
{One ANNOYING thing I've noticed with Iori is that when you want to go in a
dark thrust from a standing p, it comes out as another a!!!

Ryo: {Boring}
----
1. Jump in K->p->K->QCF+P {Basic}
2. Jump in K->P->f,b,f+P {Corner only...the fierce A pushes both parties back
TOO far}
3. Jump in K->p->k->HCB+K
4. Jump in K->d+k->HCB+K
5. Jump in K->P->Raging Holy Blow{Lvl 2 Only}{Auto Dizzy}->{Whatever combo or
SiB you want}
6. Jump in K->P->Haoh Shyo Koh Ken{Lvl. 2 does nice damage}

Mai: {Aka JigglyPuff}
----
1. Jump in K->{d+k}->QCB+K->QCB+P {Note: The d+k is sometimes bad because the
Night Plover takes a bit to come out, therefore your opponent has time to
recover so the plover cancel into the Ryu En Bu would most likely NOT
connect...}
2. Jump in K->K->QCB+P {Cool combo but strange: the Ryu En Bu delays yet always
connects...it's a true combo in the sense that it's "fluid" but the delay makes
it look strange...like a canned combo}
3. Jump in P->{While in air}->d+P {Whee.}
4. Jump in K->d+k->Lotus Storm{SiB} {If you're good, you can connect a standing
p->d+k into the Lotus Storm...good luck though}
5. Jump in P->K->Super Deadly Ninja Bees {What a name...the Lvl 2. SiB does
great damage with this combo...almost 3/4 of the opponents life bar!}

Haohmaru:
---------
1. QCF+P {If connects}->b,d,db+p {If you do the earthquake slice with P instead
of p it wont connect...the earlier you start the motions the better}
2. QCF+P {If connects}->f,d,df+P {Now to connect this move Haohmaru has to
swing his sword ONCE as your opponent is CARRIED UP...as the opponent falls the
sword has to have been swung once around, then the last two hits will connect
but the timing is very critical...sometimes the last hit will not connect very
iffy}
3. Jump in P->d+k->df+K
4. Jump in P->p->f,d,df+p {use p instead of P because you'll have a better hit
percentage if you use the weaker p.  Note: You HAVE to start the button pushing
as he connect with his jumping P...else you'll push yourself back after the
standing p...this goes for any combo of Haohmaru's or anyone else's: START the
combos EARLY}
5. Jump in P->d+p or {d+k}->Heaven Constraint Blast {Reason why I put d+p
instead of P or K is because both push you back TOO far}

Nakoruru:
---------
1. Jump in P->p->d+p or {P}->b,db,d+P
2. Jump in K->p->d+k->QCF+P
3. Jump in P->p->d+k->d+P->d+K {the d+P does her little roll which throws most
ppl off...although it's not a good move in a chain because nothing can really
follow that up without giving the opponent a chance to counter or block}
4. Jump in P->p->b,d,db+P
5. Jump in P->p->d+k->P->Elelyu Kamui Risse+P {Tricky move...seems to only work
in the corner unless you hit the person REALLY deep as you jump in...instead of
doing an Elelyu Kamui Risse, try QCF+P or b,db,d+P}

Athena: (Rush seems to work best for her..bleh.)
-------
1. Jump in P->p->K->QCB+P
2. Jump in P->p->HCF+P->{Jump towards} {in air} f,d,df+P {jumping towards the
person especially in the corner gives you all 8 hits...always 6-8 hits.  Make
sure you're jumping at the person's butt when you're going to do the Psycho
Sword, else you'll end up hitting their feet for a hit count of 3-4...aim for
the ass ;)} Note: Make sure you do the Psycho Sword early else you'll end up
with an air throw (which isn't too bad if you screw up)
3. Jump in P->p->HCF+P->{Jump towards} {in air} {Jump straight up} Arrow of
Phoenix Fang {must be timed right}
4. Jump in P {Hit EARLY}->{in air} QCB+k {must be k}->F+K{this double hit is
NOT guaranteed and most times will come out as a throw}->HCF+P {must be
buffered else it'll whiff}->->{{jump towards} {in air} f,d,df+P {Youch}} or
{{Jump straight up} Arrow of Phoenix Fang {must be timed right}}
5. Jump in K->p->K->HCF+P->{Jump towards your flying opponent}->{in air} QCB+K
{Corner works best it seems}
6. Jump in K->p->d+k->HCB+k {the K comes out too slow but the k comes out
fairly quickly and has nice range}
7. Jump in P->p->k->F+K->HCF+P->Shining Crystal Bits or {{Jump straight up}
Arrow of Phoenix Fang {must be timed right}}

Leona: {Rush works best}
------
1. Jump in P->d+p->d+k->Moon Slasher+P {Must be charging down at the d+p}
2. Jump in K->p->k->P->Grand Saber->G.S Finisher {G.S has inconsistent
execution time it seems...unless you have fast fingers..only then can this
combo work really well and be guaranteed after the jumping K}
3. Jump in P->{in Air}Flame Sword Slice
11. Jump in P->p->k->P->Revolver Spark

**{Note: I would recommend using RUSH for everyone on the capcom team...Average
seems to NOT work combo wise for them...except for Zangief who works under any
mode.}

Sweep or a throw if your close enough but nothing's guaranteed}
3. Jump in K->p->K->P->QCF+P
4. Jump in K->p->k->K->P->f,d,df+p {for most of these combo's I would suggest a
dragon punch with p since's it's a guaranteed knockdown...you dont want them
still standing after you're done} {Corner only combo}
5. Jump in K->p->d+k->Shoryuu Reppa
6. Jump in K->k->d+p->ShinRyu Ken {Note: If you knock someone out of the air
with the hurricane kick whether you're using Akuma or Ryu or Ken, you can
always air combo when you land...so knock someone with an air hurricane kick
and follow it up with a Shinryuu Ken...it's guaranteed :)}

they block the banishing hand, you have a good chance of catching them with the

4. Jump in K->Quick Double Lariat+K->Arial Russian Slam {you HAVE TO interrupt
the lariat with the SiB as your opponent is at a 45 degree angle to you coming
down...meaning: your russian slam has to come out as the person is coming down
so you grab them at an angle...seems to work 100 percent of the time in the
corner}

Combos sent in by Komejin

Dan:  (unless otherwise noted, these combos only work in Rush mode)
-----
- jump-in real close, LK, d+ LP, d+ HP, qcb + HK (7 hits)
The jump-in has to hit deep; this is the reason I don't use HK as my jump-in.
You also have to cancel the d+HP really fast, otherwise the Dan-ku-kyaku won't
combo.

- jump-in, LK, d+LP, qcb x2 + HK
(forgot the hit count, but 3 hits before the super, super takes up to 10 hits)
It's hard to get all the hits on this one because the first hits of the super
may hit the opponent too far away. It's easier to land all of the hits if the
opponent is in the corner. Also, I like this one in Rush mode because the Super
version of this Impact Blast has a stupid ending, as opposed to the normal
version, which ends in a Koryuken.

- jump-in, LK, LP, qcf x2 + HP
(3 hits before the super, I think the super gives 5 hits)
Basic jump-in to super-fireball super. This combo works better for Dan than the
Sakazakis, of whom Dan is a parody, as the startup lag for their fireballs is
worse than Dan's, and Ryo's fireball actually appears a little in front of Ryo,
instead of right in front of him, and so you might miss the opponent with his
super fireball.

- jump-in, LK, LP, qcf x2 + HK
(3 hits before the super, super gets 5-6 hits, don't really remember)
This one should never be used in Rush mode, since the normal version of this
Impact Blast sucks; you only get 2 Koryukens, and Dan doesn't run forward.
That would work for Ken's Shinryuken, but Dan's normal Impact Blast doesn't
suck in the opponent. The Super version of this Impact Blast, is much better,
as you get 3 Koryukens as well as Dan's forward movement, much like Ken's
Shoryu-reppa.

Quick notes:

I'm pretty sure you can exchange the LK and LP in my follow-up to my jump-in in
all of these combos. However, I do LP second because I like to go d+LP so I can
buffer in a d+HP more easily. If d+LK was my second hit after the jump-in, I
might accidentally buffer in a d+HK, which would still be a combo, but I
couldn't finish it with a super.

You can do a standing LP/LK just as easily as a d+LP/LK as followups to the
jump-in. I usually go d+LP/LK so I can start the qcf/qcb x2 motions much more
easily.

You can initiate these combos from the ground by eliminating the jump-in. You
just lose that one hit. Problem is, it's real hard to get that close to an
opponent on the ground unless they've blocked a light Dan-ku-kyaku (qcb+LK) and
haven't retaliated yet.

Morrigan:
- - - - - - -

- jump-in, Valkyrie Kick (d+HK in air), LP, LK, hcb+HP (6 hits + the throw)
I am not sure if you cancel a jump-in with the Valkyrie Kick in Average or
Counter mode. If not, then you'll lose 3 hits, but it will be much easier to
land the throw. Also, always do the Vector Drain with HP. This way, if you
didn't cancel the LP into the LK fast enough, at least you'll get a standing HP
which still takes off some damage.

- jump-in, Valkyrie Kick, LP, LK, qcf x2 + HP (6 hits before the super, 20+
hits with the super)  This can be done in any mode, not just Rush mode (you may
not be able to cancel into the Valkyrie Kick, but you can definitely combo the
super without those extra 3 hits from the Valkyrie kick). This is the only
super you can really combo. Abuse it. It looks cool. Only thing is that LP must
be
cancelled

- jump-in, Valkyrie Kick, LP, LK, dp+HP (should be 7 hits, maybe more)
Basic jump-in to Shoryuken combo. Um, I'm not sure if the HP Shadow Blade will
hit multiple times if preceded by jump-in. If you want to ensure that that
happens...use Ken or Akuma. 8)

Combos sent in by Jonathan Winkler

Terry Rush Combos:
deep jump-in, p,K,P,f+K,hcf+K,qcb+K, (D, u+P)<--rising tackle only works in
corner
deep jump-in, p,K,P,f+K,qcb,hcf+P

Ryo Stupid-Ass Combo:
from full screen, qcf+p, qcf,hcb+P

Other Combos

M. Bison:  Jump in WK, standing WK, Scissor Kick (4 hits)  There are a lot of
variations of this combo.  For instance, you can start the combo with a
standing WK instead of a jumping one.  If you're good, you can also replace the
Knee Press Nightmare for major damage.  This combo works very well in Time
Attack and Survival modes

Rival Characters:  These are the characters that show up in the character's mid
section and ending.  They beat up Billy or Vega when they show up in cut
scenes.  For the most part I think they go both ways, in other words, if you
take Ryu, Ryo will be your rival and vice versa.  Also, this is the character
you get to fight one on one in the mid point of the game.

Iori - Akuma
Ryu - Ryo
Ken- Terry
Chun Li - Mai
Morrigan: Nakoruru
Zangief: Haohmaru
Guile - Leona

Felicia - Akari
Geese - M. Bison
Evil Ryu - Orochi Iori

Character Rankings

These rankings are based on my opinion on who is powerful and who isn't.  Feel
free to disagree with them if you wish.  One nice thing about this game is that
since it uses generally the best characters from both companies, there aren't
any truly weak characters, but this list represents who my personal favorites
are.  Also, the character ratings listed above don't necessarily determine this
list, these are my personal favorites more or less.  (Even though I like using
Dan a lot more than his rating shows :P)

25  Felicia
24  Sakura
23  Leona
22  Dan
21  Kyo Kusanagi

Secrets

The following are the hidden characters included in the game.  There are 4 for
Capcom and 4 for SNK.  They will be unlocked in this order

Akuma                                                  Yuri Sakazaki
B.B.  Hood                                            Akari
M. Bison                                               Geese Howard
Evil Ryu                                                Orochi Iori

Vega and Billy Kane make appearances but are NOT playable to anyone's
knowledge.

The following details how to unlock the hiddens.  Thanks to Jzone, Fuma, and
whomever else sent me the info

Each time you win tournament mode, regardless of whether it's single, tag, or
team, you will see a panel.  Several squares will be flipped from the panel,
depending on the difficulty level you are playing on.  The higher the level,
the more squares flipped over.  If you lost the mid-game battle to your rival,
the # of squares flipped is significantly reduced.  Sometimes, the squares that
you already had are flipped over, accomplishing nothing.  Once you get all 9
squares, the character revealed is yours to play.  It can be frustrating when
you only need one more square, but you beat the game several times and it just
doesn't want to flip that last square.  Also, the 3rd string characters (Bison
and Geese)  make it so less squares are flipped over, and it decreases again
for Evil Ryu and Orochi Iori.  This means that you'll generally have to win the
game more to get these last 4 guys.   AkuMaxo14 also sent me this info
regarding hiddens. About the flipping panels thing... It matters that you do
well too, on a regular bases, if you choose Normal mode and keep dying, they'll
end up only  flipping up one panel. Also in getting Evil Ryu and Orochi Iori,
they don't  flip one out of the normal number they take out usually. Like in
Gamer mode, the most you can get is six, but they only flip five.

Fuma also sent in that you can select the alternate color for your character by
pressing and holding the A button when you pick them.  You will see them flash
and change to a different color.  Also, this info was sent in by AkuMaxo14.
You can do this trick with Nakoruru, and her expression will change on the
select screen.  Also, she will have different win quotes.

(Sent in by Goumodi)  If you put MotM in a Black and White NGP, you can't play
the game, but you can see some artwork.  This is unconfirmed, mainly because no
one I know (including Goumodi, I presume) owns a B&W NGP.

This trick was confirmed by EX Andy.  He sent the following info to me.

I have a black & white NGP; if you put in SNK/CAP, it shows one of various
pictures, like Jubei (wearing the brown suit from www.neogeo.co.jp) and
Genjuro; or Xiangfei Li (from Real Bout 2 and Wild Ambition) and Chun-Li, or K'
(from KoF '99) and Alex (from SF3), or Kaede (from Last Blade) and Morrigan. In
any case, the message says "This cartridge is for NEOGEO POCKET COLOR only. It
will not work with this unit." You get one set of pictures each time you turn
on the power. If you want to see a different image, turn off the black & white
NGP, then turn it on again.

(Sent in by Goumodi)  In Target 9 of Olympic Mode, if you press the option
button during the intro, you can play as Fio instead of Marco.

This is an Olympic Tidbit sent in by BamBam: If you have Ryu as any one of the
record holders in the Olympics, view your records and you'll see a nice little
exclusive picture reminiscent of  Ryu's SF2 ending, in which you'll see a Sagat
Cameo! While every other character stands on the platform in a winning pose,
Ryu stays true to character and doesn't really care for the glory. Not a really
big thing, but it does show how high the production values were in making this
game, because they looked at almost every little detail!

This trick was sent in by Neo Gutsman.  It is also listed under command attacks
which were sent to me by Q. Harjo, so you'll se it listed there as well:
Choose Felicia in sparring mode, and any opponent.  Now, jump so that you land
squarely on the opponent's head.  You'll land right on their noggin, and they
will pose for you as you perch on them!  It's really cute, and though it does
nothing for you but look neat, it's still fun to do.   Noteworthy poses are
Dan, Zangief, Iori, Haohmaru, and Felicia herself!

I've heard that if you press Option at the SNK vs Capcom splash screen, you can
access a mode where you can view all of the endings and stuff, but I've never
gotten it to work.  This needs to be unlocked, but no one is sure how.  Some
ideas are:  Beat the game with every character, combination of fight styles and
tournament modes.  Fight 1000 matches, is automatically unlocked when game is
put into a B&W NGP.  One thing is known, you know you have unlocked it when you
beat the game, and see pics of both Capcom and SNK guys during the credits.

Chris Palafox sent in that you can make most of the text in the game into
Japanese and Kanji characters if you change the language setting on the system
to Japanese.

writing FAQ's (as you can see by the sporadic updates my FAQ's have seen) but
there are (or will be) plenty of other FAQ's for this game in the near future.
