Move list and FAQ by KageKaze

Version 2.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there!

This game is one of the most inovative games I've ever played.  It's a very
interesting and a rather fun fighting game played entirely in cinematics.
You'd have to play it for yourself to really understand what it's like.  I
liked the fact that this game allows for alot of things to happen.  Things
such as counter-attacks and repelling projectiles and so on and so on.  You
get the picture.  I still don't know the limits of this game.  I really
began enjoying this game once I stared to understand it, so I became
determined to make an FAQ/Move list so others might enjoy this game as much
as I do!  I hope I've succeeded.  Any spots that I've noted as rough
translations are moves that I've tried to translate myself.  I'm self taught
in reading Japanese (Hirigana and Katakana, I don't know Kanji) so I may not
be able to translate some areas and some areas can only be guessed at.
Let's just say that my dictionary isn't very good.  Becides, dictionaries
are just general and don't go into japanese sentence structure and such.  I
hope to update this FAQ with the actual move names from the game.  We'll
just have to see!  Well, enough of this, on to the FAQ.

SPECIAL THANKS--

Kyo Kusanagi <[email protected]>:

       Supplied me with the character names, and helped me with some of the
       Moves and their effects, also corrected me on Karasu's blonde hair
       state.  I originally thought this state was permanenet.  Anyhow,
       without Kyo-san's help, I may never have been able to make version
       1.00.  Thanks!

<anonymous>:

       Helped to give me details on doing the Demon Fire Dragon Absorb
       and originally told me about this technique.  Even though this
       person wants to remain anonymous, I had to write some kinda
       thanks anyways.  Thank you very much and I'm glad you like my
       FAQ, friend.

Aldi Haryadi <[email protected]>:

       Also gave me Dragon Absorb hints but also gave me the secret code
       I've been looking for, for so long!  Now the secret characters are
       active and their moves posted.  Thanks very very much.  I though I'd
       never get this code.

Jacob Poon:

       Gave me alot of corrections and additions.  I'd love to list them
       all, but I'd just be retyping the entire update text for this
       version. =)  Thanks alot, friend.

"Domo arigatou gozaimasu!"

SNK's King of Fighters games. If a character wins, he/she recovers a portion
of life and moves on to the next character.

TOURNAMENT MODE--(one or two players)
All characters fight it out for the #1 position.  Great place to watch CPU
battles

TOTAL BATTLE MODE--(one player only)
Select your character and go against all the other fighters.  You will also
fight 3 extra opponents.  You will fight "Yohko" Kurama, Young Genkai, and
Toguro Otouto at 100% power.  You will fight a mirror match last.  In this
mode, you will also see the ending credits after you've won all the battles.

KEY--

->  -- Joypad Right
<-  -- Joypad Left
/\  -- Joypad Up
\/  -- Joypad Down

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

STANDARD CONTROLS--

NOTE:  <- and -> are reversed for the right player.

-> + X/A      --  Overhanded/Underhaned Punch (respectivly)
-> + Y/B      --  Multiple Overhanded/Underhanded Punches (respectivly)
<- + Y/X/B/A  --  Block
/\ + X        --  Jump (can be disabled)
/\ + Y/B/A    --  "Defensive" Specials (can be disabled)
\/ + Y/X/B/A  --  "Offensive" Specials
Y/A           --  Use Power Boxes/Orbs

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

POWER BOXES/ORBS--

RED     --  "Ai" = "Love --  Gives HP
YELLOW  --  "Rei" = "Spirit"  --  Gives power to "special" meter
BLUE    --  "Ki" = "Air/Spirit/Mind"  --  Restores "K.O." meter

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE "MOVE" BAR--

There is a bar directly underneath your character.  This bar is your "move"
bar.  when you press a direction on the control pad this bar will charge up.
Pressing a button when the bar is barely charched will make your attacks
fail more often than not.  Waiting for a full charge leads to the best
results.  In short, this bar determines the accuracy success rate of all of
your special moves, be it defensive or offensive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE "KO" BAR--

The blue bar just below the "move" bar is the "ko" bar.  This bar depletes
as you take damage.  Once this bar reaches zero, your character will be
knocked down to the ground and be vulnerable to attack.  Some attacks only
affect this meter.  You can be knocked down instantly by being hit as you
start a jump.

NOTE:  This meter represents 'touki', which means 'fighting spirit'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE "SPECIAL" BAR--

Below the "move" and "KO" bars is the "special" bar.  This shows how much
power you have to preform special moves.  Each special move (and jump) will
take power from this bar.  If you don't have enough power for a specific
move, your character will not respond when you try to activate it.  You gain
power as you attack your opponent (the "flames" in the orb in the
center/bottom of the screen will be transfered to your 'special' when you
preform moves.  This orb will sometimes have the power boxes/orbs instead of
flames wich will be transfered to the most effective technique preformed).
When this bar is null, you can do nothing but punch and block, so BE
CAREFUL!!

NOTE:  This meter represents 'rei', meaning 'spirit'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

MOVE EFFECTS--

BLIND--  Opponent cannot see what you are doing

DISABLE--  Opponent cannot Jump or use "deffensive" specials

KO--  Do damage to your opponent's "ko" bar

ABSORB--  Damage will not be taken or will be reduced if this isdone at the
         right moment

YELLOW AURA--  Increase damage of specials or change their effect
             (most visual and effect changes are marked by parenthesis "()")

RED AURA--  Increase Punch Strength (guess based on rough translation)

SPLIT IMAGE--  A defensive state where, for the round this move is
              preformed, you cannot be harmed (if used soon enough, that
              is) and the attack will miss totally.  Very useful technique
              against powerful attacks such as the 'Demon Fire Dragon'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A QUICK NOTE ON PROJECTILES--

When projectiles collide, several things can happen.
Here is a list of what might happen.

    1>  Projectiles collide and Both dissipate from the impact
    2>  Projectiles collide and your's continues on
    3>  Projectiles collide and your opponent's continues on
    4>  Projectiles collide and both will continue on

Also, KO attacks may cause projectiles to dissipate in mid air.

*To get Blonde Hair, you must be knocked down once so your mask falls off,
  then do the Yellow Aura motion.  Instead of the Aura, your hair will

  rounds or after taking 3-4 hits, whichever comes first..  Each move
  listed after the forward slashes "/" are when you have blonde hair.  I
  believe this state makes you stronger, and it gives you the potential to

  active.

HIEI'S DRAGON ABSORB TECHNIQUE--

In the rare event that Hiei's 'Demon Fire Dragon' is actually reflected back
to him, he can absorb it and restore his energy, even making him more
powerfull.  First, make sure the Dragon is reflected back at you (well,
duh...) then prepare by holding <- (away) to make sure your "move" bar
charges as the dragon reflects.  Once your "move" bar is full, absorb the
dragon by blocking with '<- + A'.  Hiei will take the energy, restore a TON
of life, fill up his KO bar, and have a fast "move" bar.  This is a very
difficult trick and doesn't work all the time.  The best timing seems to be
to hit the 'A' Button a second before the dragon hits the front of the
screen.  Good luck.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECRET CODE--

If you've ever wanted to play as "Yohko" Kurama, Young Genkai, or Toguro
Otouto at 100% power immediately and permanently, well now's your chance!
As soon as you start or reset your game QUICKLY press B, A, B, Y repeatedly
up untill the opening cinematics start playing.  Start the game and when the
character screen comes up, highlight Kurama, Genkai, or Toguro Otouto then
press either L or R.  Thier picture should change to their alternate form.
To use their original form you must move the cursor off the character then
place it back, the picture will have reverted to it's original form.
