------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING ADVANCED OR EXTRA MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KoF '98, like it's predecessor, has two basic modes of gameplay. They
are explained in greater detail below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN ADVANCED MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Block / Mid-Air Block Hold b / db (air)
Backstep Tap b,b
Dash (Running) Tap f,f (hold f to run)
Small Jump Tap ub~uf
Middle Jump Press ub~uf
Big Jump Tap d,ub / tap d,uf / dash, then jump
Emergency Evade (Forward) A + B
Emergency Evade (Backward) b + A + B
Down Evade Press A + B as you land
Throw Escape b / f + P / K as you're thrown
Guard Cancel Emergency Evade Block, then A + B
Guard Cancel Strike Attack Block, then C + D
Strike Attack Press C + D (air)
Activate Power Gauge Press A + B + C (1 point)
Cover Attack Tap A + B + C rapidly when dizzied
Taunt Press Start
- When you block against an attack, you take no damage from normal
moves and command attacks, but you do take reduced damage from
specials and (S)DMs. Throws and certain other moves may be
unblockable, though.
- You're semi-invincible during either Emergency Evade, although you
can still be hit by command throws (throws that are specific to each
character and not the b / f + C / D variety).
- Using the Down Evade makes your character leap back just as he or she
hits the ground, and land on their feet, instead of crashing to the
floor. This move can be used after knockdown attacks, or other
standard knockdown moves like most character's crouching D attack.
- The GC Emergency Evade works just like a backwards Emergency Evade,
except that you can do it while blocking against an attack. Ditto
with the GC Strike Attack. In order to use these moves, you must
have activated your Power Gauge by pressing A + B + C. However,
using these moves does not detract from the time bar, so you can use
them as often as you want until your power runs out normally.
- Someone hit by a Strike Attack is knocked down to the floor.
- The Cover Attack has several prerequisites that must be met in
order fo it to work. First, your life must be at 50% or less.
Second, you must be dizzy, _or_ be stuck in a grab or repeated
attack, such as Choi's Zujou Sashi (his C-button throw), or Chang's
Dai Hakai Nage. Thirdly, you must have an undefeated teammate
standing on-screen and nearby. Finally, that teammate must have a
neutral or friendly relationship towards you. Also note that if
your life is lower than your opponent's, you have a higher chance
of being helped by your teammates. On a personal note, I haven't
been able to get this to work yet, so I'm unsure if it's just hard
to pull off, or if the command I have listed is wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN EXTRA MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guard / Mid-Air Guard Hold b / db (air)
Dash (Quick Hop) Tap f,f
Backstep Tap b,b
Small Jump Tap ub~uf
Middle Jump Press ub~uf
Big Jump Tap d,ub / tap d,uf
Attack Evade Press A + B
Counter Attack Press P / K during Attack Evade
Down Evade Press A + B as you land
Guard Cancel Emergency Evade Block, then A + B
Guard Cancel Strike Attack Block, then C + D
Strike Attack Press C + D (air)
Power Gauge Charge Hold A + B + C until gauge maxes out
Cover Attack Tap A + B + C rapidly when dizzied
Taunt Press Start
- When you block against an attack, you take no damage from normal
moves and command attacks, but you do take reduced damage from
specials and (S)DMs. Throws and certain other moves may be
unblockable, though.
- You're semi-invincible during the Attack Evade, although you can
still be hit by command throws (throws that are specific to each
character and not the b / f + C / D variety). However, you can
also make an attack while evading--just press any button before
the Attack Evade ends and you step back into the line of fire.
- Using the Down Evade makes your character leap back just as he or she
hits the ground, and land on their feet, instead of crashing to the
floor. This move can be used after knockdown attacks, or other
standard knockdown moves like most character's crouching D attack.
- The GC Emergency Evade works just like a backwards Emergency Evade,
except that you can do it while blocking against an attack. Ditto
with the GC Strike Attack. In order to use these moves, you must
have activated your Power Gauge by pressing A + B + C. However,
using these moves does not detract from the time bar, so you can use
them as often as you want until your power runs out normally.
- Someone hit by a Strike Attack is knocked down to the floor.

order fo it to work. First, your life must be at 50% or less.
Second, you must be dizzy, _or_ be stuck in a grab or repeated
attack, such as Choi's Zujou Sashi (his C-button throw), or Chang's
Dai Hakai Nage. Thirdly, you must have an undefeated teammate
standing on-screen and nearby. Finally, that teammate must have a
neutral or friendly relationship towards you. Also note that if
your life is lower than your opponent's, you have a higher chance
of being helped by your teammates. On a personal note, I haven't
been able to get this to work yet, so I'm unsure if it's just hard
to pull off, or if the command I have listed is wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE POWER GAUGE IN ADVANCED MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can fill up your Power Gauge by:
1. Performing special moves (whether or not they hit).
2. Damaging your opponent with anything aside from a DM/SDM.
3. Getting damaged by your opponent.
When it's full, it then empties, but you gain 1 green POW point.
You can hold:
1. Three points when playing with your first character.
2. Four points when using your second character.
3. Five points when you're controlling your last team member.
Accumulated POW points can be expended to:
1. Use the 'Activate Power Gauge' move (press A + B + C).
2. Use a DM (Desperation Move).
When you activate your Power Gauge, it turns into a timer bar that
slowly empties. While the timer bar is on-screen:
1. You can use the GC Emergency Evade or GC Strike Attack. They
can be used repeatedly without draining any power from the timer
bar or Power Gauge.
2. You can perform a SDM (Super Desperation Move). This is done
with the same command as a DM and costs an additional POW point
(just like when using a DM), but since your Power Gauge has been
activated, you'll perform the SDM version instead.
3. Your body will flash, and any attack you make does 25% more
damage.
You can lose Power Gauge energy, POW points, or your activated Power
Gauge under these conditions:
1. Activating your Power Gauge or performing a DM or SDM all cost
one point.
2. Between rounds, POW points are carried over, but Power Gauge
energy that has been accumulated is not (the gauge empties.
Even if it is almost full, you still won't gain a point).
3. If your Power Gauge has been activated, it returns to normal
between rounds.
4. If you perform an SDM, your Power Gauge returns to normal
whether or not the move hit or not.
5. If you wait too long after activating your Power Gauge, then
the timer bar empties and the Power Gauge goes back to normal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE POWER GAUGE IN EXTRA MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can fill up your Power Gauge by:
1. Charging up your Power Gauge (hold down A + B + C).
2. Getting damaged by your opponent.
The Power Gauge shrinks every time you lose, making it easier to
fill it up. It shrinks to:
1. 75% of it's normal size when playing with your second character.
2. 50% of it's normal size when using your final character.
When your Power Gauge is filled, it says 'MAXIMUM' and slowly begins
to empty. While the Power Gauge is emptying:
1. You can use the GC Emergency Evade or GC Strike Attack. Using
either one of them will completely empty the Power Gauge.
2. You can perform a DM (Desperation Move).
3. Your body will flash, and any attack you make does 50% more
damage.
If you take enough damage (if your life is at 20% or less), your
Life Gauge begins flashing red. When this happens:
1. You can perform DMs repeatedly.
2. You can use the GC Emergency Evade or GC Strike Attack. They
can be used repeatedly without draining any power from the
Power Gauge.
3. If your Power Gauge was maxed out and is now emptying, then
you can use SDMs instead of DMs. Doing so will not affect
your life, but it will empty your Power Bar completely.
Note that if your life is raised beyond 20% (this may happen if
you win the round, since you gain back some life, or if you're
using Heidern's restorative "Bringer" moes), then your Life Gauge
stops flashing and you lose all benefits of having a low Life Gauge.
You can lose Power Gauge energy under these conditions:
1. Performing a DM or SDM when the Power Gauge is full will empty
it.
2. Between rounds, all accumulated Power Gauge energy is lost,
even if it was almost full.
3. If your Power Gauge had been maxed out and is now emptying,
it returns to normal between rounds.
4. If you perform an SDM, your Power Gauge returns to normal
whether or not the move hit or not.
5. If you wait too long after maxing out your Power Gauge, then
it empties and the Power Gauge goes back to normal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING COMMAND ATTACKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three rules to keep in mind when using a command attack:
- Some command attacks are overhead moves, most can be comboed into,
and most be cancelled into a special move.
- _But_, if you combo into a command attack, it loses any special
properties it had (it won't work as an overhead or knockdown
attack, for example).
- However, for some command attacks, you _have_ to combo into
them first if you want to then cancel them into a special move.
The general idea is that, if a command attack has a special feature
(overheads or knockdowns), it must be comboed into if you want to
cancel from it. Otherwise, you should be able to cancel it into a
special move just fine (but like I said earlier, not all command
attacks can be cancelled from--see each characters's move list below
for more information).
Let's use Saishu for an example (and not just because he's one of my
favorite characters):
- Saishu's Gou Tsui (f + A) is an overhead attack. Normally, he
_cannot_ cancel it into a special move (such as a Yami Barai).
- However, if he uses a close standing C, then combos that into the
Gou Tsui, he can then cancel the Gou Tsuchi into the Yami Barai.
This 3-hit combo looks like this:
Crouching C, f + A, qcf + P
- Saishu's other command attack is the Kubu Tsuchi (f + B). This
move doesn't have any special properties. However, it can be
comboed from. For instance, Saishu could use the Kubu Tsuchi, then
the Oniyaki, like this:
When close, f + B, f,d,df + P
- If he wanted to he could even combo into the Kubu Tsuchi, like so:
Standing C, f + B, f,d,df + P
Remember that these rules apply to every command attack. Even in rare
cases like Leona's Strike Arch (which is both an overhead and a
knockdown attack), if you proceeded it with a standing C, then inputted
f + B for the Strike Arch, it would not knock down and a crouching
blocking opponent would be able to guard against it.
========================================================================
2. CHARACTER MOVELISTS
========================================================================
Each character movelist is composed of several parts: at the top is
the character's name and the team they're in, followed by a short bio
sheet, then their win quote and a short list of moves. After that comes
a longer, more detailed list of moves. Both lists are written in this
order: normal throws, command attacks, special moves, and (S)DMs. After
the detailed moveslist is a chart of cancelable attacks, although some
characters may also have a 'notes' section or a flowchart of their
special move chains.
As for specifics, the number of hits for each move was determined using
Chang as my opponent (since he's so big, you have a better chance of
discovering what the total number of hits for each move actually is).
All translations were done by me, with help from others in certain
casesm, so there may be some mistakes, as I don't know much Japanese.
To make matters even worse, the move names for the Real Orochi Team
were originally written, or at least sounded out, in Russian (just like
Goenitz's moves back in '96). While I've been able to find kana so as
to properly spell the names, I can't figure out what the move names
mean, since I don't have the kanji. If anyone has the specific kanji
for their move names, I'd love to hear from ya.

Translation: Hermit's Mental Energy Emission
Move Command: When close, qcf,qcf + P
# of Hits: Light 5 / Heavy 5 (DM)

animation.
Move Name: Niku Man o Kuu
Translation: Eat a Meat Bun
Move Command: qcb,qcb + P
# of Hits: Light 0 / Heavy 0 (DM / SDM)
Comments: When the DM version is used, Kensou gains back a bit
of lost life. The SDM version works in the same way,
but after a while, Kensou will choke on the bun, and
lose any of the life he had regained. This makes the
SDM version seemingly useless, although way back when
'97 came out in the arcades, I remember someone saying
that you could use the Senki Hakkei if your enemy tried
to hit you out of this move. I've never been able to
do it myself, though.

# of Hits: Light 11 / Heavy 11 (DM)
Light 17 / Heavy 17 (SDM)
Comments: The SDM version of this move will Guard Break a blocking
opponent. Chang randomly performs a finishing blow at

backflop, standing body blow, forward roll, upward roll,
or his standing B kick. Anyone seen any others?

Light 1 / Heavy 1 (SDM)
Comments: In the DM version, Chang runs forward before doing his
belly flop if you use the (C) button; this can get two
hits if you're close enough. In the SDM version, Chang
can not only hit while falling, but also when he hits
the ground, it shakes, and you take damage no matter
where you're standing. However you can crouch-block
both his fall and the ground shake. Any version of
the Tekkyuu Dai Assatsu can hit on the way up as well as
on the way down.

Move Command: qcf + P
# of Hits: Light 1 / Heavy 3

# of Hits: Light 1,1 / Heavy 1,1
Light 1,3 / Heavy 1,2 (Shadowed and performed twice)
Light 3 / Heavy 3 (Shadowed and performed once)
Comments: When you perform this move a second time, qcb + A is an
overhead attack, and qcb + C is a low-hitting attack.
When done normally, you must finish with qcb + C to make
the hits combo. When Shadowed, you can finish it any
way you like to have it combo. Furthermore, the
Shadowed version, if done twice, ends in either a R.S.D.
(if qcb + A is used), or a Blast Upper (if qcb + C is
used).

Light 5 / Heavy 5 (when used after Shadow)
Comments: When used, Heavy D! throws some punches and taunts.
After this move has been used once, all of his special
moves are enhanced (even the Shadow itself), and will
hit more times, but once any special move is performed,
the Shadow effect ends and you must perform another
Shadow to enhance your moves. Note that doing a
enhanced Shadow will not enhance the other moves--only
a normal Shadow can do that.
Move Name: Dancing Beat
Move Command: When close, f,d,df + P
# of Hits: Light 5 / Heavy 5
Light 6 / Heavy 6 (when used after Shadow)
Comments: An unblockable attack. This move has no 'missed'

you can charge d,uf to make her fly to the wall in front

4. SECRETS AND TRICKS
========================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAY AS THE HIDDEN CHARACTERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To play as a hidden character, just highlight their counterpart, hold
Start, then press any button. The characters with hidden counterparts
include: Kyo, the Fatal Fury Team, the Art of Fighting Team, Mai
Shiranui, Billy Kane, the Orochi Team, and Rugal Bernstein (you
can only select Omega Rugal in the home versions, though).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING THE ROULETTE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To pick a random character, go to the roulette (the box with a question
mark in it between Rugal and Shingo). You can select a random character
for one, two, or all of your team's characters. Afterwards, you'll get
a new character to fight with in each battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIGHT SHINGO YABUKI
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To fight Shingo Yabuki alone, you have to fulfill one of these
requirements:
- Prior to the fourth match, you have to have over 200,000 points.
If you do this, Shingo challenges you on your 4th match. If not,
read below:
- Prior to the fifth match, you have to have fulfilled the first
condition (over 200,000 points), as well as having gotten a
perfect victory in the previous rounds (i.e. one character is
never hit). If you do this, Shingo challenges you on the 5th
match. If not, read below:
- Prior to the sixth match, make sure that you've fulfilled the
previous requirements (over 200,000 points and one perfect victory),
and make sure that none of your fellow members die (get a straight
win) during the previous match. If you do this, Shingo challenges
you on the sixth match.
To be honest, though, I always end up fighting Shingo no matter what I
do. Maybe he's not that hard to get to.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHOOSE YOUR WIN POSE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, when you win, you perform a random win pose. However, if you
hold down any button (A through D) right after you win the round, your
character will do a specific win pose.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHOI'S SPECIAL WIN POSE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid to say I don't really know what the heck this is. I guess
these two people (Takeshi and Mika) who were in some sort of KoF audio
drama or something, will ride by on a bicycle? Anyway, you can see it
by doing the following:
- Fight on the Korea stage?
- Make sure you're on the third round, and using Choi.
- Make sure there are 30 seconds or less remaining.
- Kill your opponent with a special move (SDM?)
- Hold the D button for your win pose.
Er, hey, that's just what I read at Ura no Ura, dunno what it's
supposed to be. I've tried this trick on all of the stages, using
either of Choi's DMs (and SDMs), and having it so that the third
round was the last round for both my team as well as for my opponent's
team, but I can't get the trick to work. Anyone who can, I'd love to
hear how you did it. I've had people write into me before explaining
how to do this but I never could get it to work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HIDDEN SURVIVOR MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the home version, you can activate an harder Survivor mode by
highlighting 'Survivor' in the menu and pressing A + C.
=========================================================================
5. MISCELLANEOUS
=========================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTITUDE INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knowing how your characters are feeling is important because it
determines the chance of them helping you when you attempt a Cover
Attack. In addition, if you're using Advanced Mode, it affects the
number of POW points you have. I haven't noticed any effect that it
has if you're using Extra Mode. The faces and their meanings are
as follows:
Yellow, happy-looking face:
- You're more likely to be helped / Advanced users gain 1 point.
Gray, bored face:
- You might not be helped / No change in points for Advanced users.
Angry, red face:
- You'll never be helped / Advanced users lose all points.
Unlike KoF '97, a character's attitude does not change depending on
his or her partners--it just represents that character's attitude
in general. In the arcade version, each person's attitude changed
daily, but in the home version, each person always has a specific
attitude, listed below:
Happy characters: Billy, Chang Koehan, Heavy D!, Iori, King, Saishu,
Shingo, Sie Kensou, Takuma, Terry Bogard, Vice.
Angry characters: Choi, Chris, Heidern, Joe Higashi, Kim Kaphwan,
Leona, Lucky, Mature, Rugal, Ryo Sakazaki.
Bored characters: Everyone else.
To see the attitude of your characters, select your team. Then, when
asked to arrange who fights in what order, hold Start and the faces
will be displayed. To understand how the faces work, I'll make up a
mock example of a certain character line-up:
- Goro is going first and has a bored face.
- Leona is going second and has an angry face.
- Shingo is going third and has a happy face.
In this setup, Goro will never be helped by Leona, since Leona has an
angry face and so will never take part in a Cover Attack. Let's say
Goro loses and Leona is now fighting. If he attempts a Cover Attack,
Shingo will always try to help her since Shingo has a happy face (he
likes everybody, even psychos like Leona). If Leona loses and Shingo
is fighting, he cannot use a Cover Attack. This is simply because
there are now no more undefeated teammates left.
On the other hand, if, for example, Shingo went first and Goro went
second, then Shingo would sometimes get help from Goro, and sometimes
not. This is because Goro has a neutral face and so he doesn't really
feel like helping Shingo all the time.
Now, let's use the same characters, but this time we'll look at what
happens to your DM points if you're in Advanced Mode.
- Goro is going first and has a bored face.
- Leona is going second and has an angry face.
- Shingo is going third and has a happy face.
Goro amasses enough power during the round to earn 2 POW points, but
he's defeated before he can use them. Leona, who's up next, will
have those 2 POW points, since Goro is netural and there is no change
in points. However, if Leona loses with 2 POW points still remaining,
then Shingo will start off with nothing, because Leona is angry and
is probably hoping Shingo will lose.
However, let's say Shingo was the second character and Leona was
third. Shingo would still have those two points that he earned from
Goro. If he's defeated in battle, then Leona will start off with
three points, since Shingo's a happy fellow and wants to help her
out.
Got it? Yep, I know it's confusing! You can check out Section 1
(FAQ Notation) for more information on using Cover Attacks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENDING PICTURES LISTING: RANDOM PICTURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listed here are the fifteen ending pictures you can see when you beat
the game (they're shown at random). I'd like to thank Hisamatsu Iuchi
for most all of the information in this section.
- Benimaru and Goro are fighting in the background. In the
foreground, Yuki is stitching up Kyo's jacket while looking up at
him with a look that can best be described as adoring. Of Kyo
himself, all that's visible is his arm and gloved hand.
- Terry and Andy are practicing in Joe's preparation room, while Joe
himself watches from a bench.
- This is done in an unusual style--very angular lines, and a 45-
degree perspective (i.e. that's the tilt of the floor). Anyway,
Ryo is shown splitting a stack of ice panels with his hand, while
Robert and Yuri watch with VERY worried expressions.
- A shot of a military report signed by Ralf Jones. You can see
Heidern's hand as he applies his signature to the document.
- A shot of Athena and the (former) invalid from KOF '97 apparently
studying together. Curiously, Athena is in her battle uniform.
- A shot of a newspaper front page anouncing that Chizuru, Mai, and
King have reached the finals (headline: It's a Woman's World!).
King is in the center of the group photo, holding Jean.
- A picture of Koehan and Bounge in their '94/'95 outfits, apparently
dancing. Clearly supposed to be a child's work, since it's done in
_crayon_ (there's even a butterfly between the two ex-convicts!).
The Korean symbols in the lower left, though, are done in either
pencil or pen.
- The CYS in casual clothes, practicing for their next concert.
Yashiro, with a guitar pick in his mouth, is looking over his
shoulder at Shermie, while Chris looks on.
- Ryuji, Mary, and Billy on a police lineup (no, there are no prison
plaques). Don't ask me what Mary is doing there...
- A shot of a broken compact (Mature's?) lying on the ground. In the
broken, bloodspecked mirror. Iori, apparently undergoing the Blood
Riot, can be seen.
- Heidern and Saishu are relaxing in an onsen (hot spring). Takuma,
however, isn't--he's too busy chasing a pair of snow monkeys who
have stolen some of their clothes.
- An overhead shot of a beach, with the Sports Team walking along it.
- Rugal's panther, looking down at one of his discarded gloves.
- Shingo, fresh out of a bath or shower, with a towel on his head, has
his notebook in hand. He's looking over his shoulder at Kyo, who's
currently snoozing on a bench.
- A shot of Saishu training a young Kyo and another character.
Apparently, he's a character from the Japanese KOF: KYO manga
series.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIFIC LINEUP PICTURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pictures described here are only shown if you're playing with
certain characters in your team:
ANDY BOGARD / BENIMARU NIKAIDO / ROBERT GARCIA
- Benimaru and Robert are holding each other by the neck, ready to
hit each other. Andy is standing in the background, shrugging.
BILLY KANE / CHANE KOEHAN / JOE HIGASHI
- All three of them are close together with very tough looks on
their faces.
CHANG KOEHAN / CHIN GENTSAI / CHOI BOUNGE
- The trio are shown within a little picture frame with Choi in the
middle blowing a kiss. On the frame there is a double overlapped
heart that says "CUTE" on it.
CHIZURU KAGURA / IORI YAGAMI / KYO KUSANAGI
- Chizuru is standing between Iori and Kyo, who have turned away from
each other.

to see an ASCII interpretation, check out the logo for my KoF '97
FAQ, which can be found at the same places this FAQ can).

6. AUTHOR'S NOTE
========================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSLATION NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Japanese move names were mainly translated by myself, so there are
probably a few mistakes or misinterpretations. Feel free to drop me
a line and let me know what I slipped up on should you spot anything.
Regarding the move names; SNK originally gave generic names to some of
the new moves in KoF '98, then went back later and came up with the
real, "offical" names. In the KoF '98 booklet that was being sold with
the home version of the Japanese Neo*Geo cart, the temporary move names
were simply crossed out, and the real ones written nearby. However,
the handwriting is near impossible for me to make out (plus I was
reading it from a scanned photo, since I don't own the book nor the
Neo*Geo home version myself). As a result, I don't have the official
name for Shingo's "Hiji Otoshi", and I can't be entirely sure of some
of the other move names (I'm pretty sure Omega Rugal's "Gravity Smash"
is wrong as well). If I don't have the official or temporary name for
a move, it's written in parentheses, in lowercase.
In other cases where I'm unsure of a translation, a question mark
appears in the brackets. This is mainly due to the fact that a kanji
character written in kana could mean just about anything--all you
know is it's spelling, and you have to make educated guesses. (Then
again, in the case of the Orochi Team, I'd rather have all the moves
in hiragana than in Russian, as they were originally written!)
Also, some moves have more than one name (for Kyo and Yuri, in
particular). SNK just gave the same move two different names, they're
not for the different button strengths, as far as I know. Go figure.
Finally, although his name is spelled 'Saisyu' in the game, it's
spelled here as "Saishu". It's not incorrect, just a different (and
a little more pronouncable) spelling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVISION HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.6 (July 11, 2000)
- Another update; the entire moveslist was rewritten using more
current info. from my KoF '99 FAQ, and personally translated all
the bios from SNK of Japan's page. I wasn't able to get all of it
because the original text was taken from these little bio movelists
that had really squished kanji. Since it wasn't text, I couldn't
look it up in a Japanese text reader, either. I have this game for
the PSX, so I was able to double-check everything in the FAQ as
well.
Version 0.5 (March 21, 1998)
- I know, more changes! Yay! Aside from being upgraded to FAQ
status, you may have noticed that every last little thing has
been translated, tested, and so on. Quite a bit of stuff
remains to be added (example combos, quotes, move information,
etc.), but that'll have to wait for later revisions. Since a
friend of mine is getting the import PSX version at the end of
March, I'll be able to add info. about that version of KoF '98
into this FAQ as well.
I still need help with quotes (especially translations, since I
suck at them), so if anyone would like to write in with move
quotes, win pose quotes, intro. quotes, whatever, it'd be really
appreciated.
Version 0.4 (December 10, 1998)
- The list is now back in it's handy shorthand format. It's the
last big change (for a long time), I swear! ;) I'll stick notes
and translations into the next revision, I wanted to get this up
because I've been saying I would for a while now :)
Version 0.3 (November 28, 1998)
- Lots of info sent in this time around, which is nice considering
that this game is getting a lot less attention then I would have
thought (play it, it's got Takuma, for goodness' sakes!) Even
better is that most of it came from the same people who helped me
so much with the last KoF FAQ. Mostly additions and a few general
corrections, otherwise.
Version 0.0 started a long time ago (I forgot!) ^^;
------------------------------------------------------------------------

a bit of new move info. from here as well.
