" + " can be substituted by "and". " / " can be substituted by "or". " * " indicates that something is unconfirmed by me. All charge moves must be held for at least 2 seconds Note: Moves with a "+" mean that you have to be holding the joystick in a specific direction while you press or release the button. Here are a couple of examples; Example #1: "H6,QCDB+R6" should be read as, hold fierce low attack and rotate the joystick in a quarter circle down/back motion (DF,D,DB), then while the joystick is STILL held in the DB position, release fierce low attack. Example #2: "cB,F+3" should be read as, charge back (2 seconds) then press forward, then while the joystick is still held in the forward position, press fierce high attack. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ BUTTONS H = Hold c = Charge R = Release 1 = Quick High Attack 2 = Medium High Attack 3 = Fierce High Attack 4 = Quick Low Attack 5 = Medium Low Attack 4 = Fierce Low Attack +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ JOYSTICK B: Back c: Charge F: Forward DF: Down Forward D: Down DB: Down Back QCB: Quarter Circle Back (D,DB,B) QCT: Quarter Circle Toward (D,DF,F) HCB: Half Circle Back (F,DF,D,DB,B) HCT: Half Circle Toward (B,DB,D,DF,F) QCDB: Quarter Circle Down/Back (DF,D,DB) QCDF: Quarter Circle Down/Forward (DB,D,DF) +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ CONNECTORS Moves within a combo which hits the opponent multiple times and keeps the combo going. Connectors will sometimes end the combo after a certain amount of hits. Column 1: The motion for the connector move. Column 2: The number of hits the connector move produces. Column 3: The move(s) that the connectors can be performed after. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ENDINGS Moves used after connector moves which end the combo. It is sometimes possible to juggle opponents after an ending move. If the energy bar line is flashing when you juggle the opponent, some characters will receive two additional juggle hits. Endings can be used after ANY connector moves. Column 1: The motion for the ending move. Column 2: The number of hits the ending move produces. _ + end : You cannot juggle the opponent after the ending move. _ + air : You can juggle the opponent after the ending move. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ COMBOS normal: The combo has nothing special about it. shadow: The combo is a shadow combo. stun: The combo stuns the opponent. ultra: The combo is an Ultra Combo. ultimate: The combo is an Ultimate Combo. wait: Indicates that you are about to perform a juggle move. Example: cB,1,F+2,wait,QCT+1 Charge back while you press 1, then press forward+2 to perform the charge move. This charge move happens to end the combo and knock your opponent into the air. Wait for your opponent to start falling then press QCT+1 to juggle your opponent with your juggle move. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ PARENTHESIS (crouching): The opponent must be crouching. (flashing line): Your energy line must be flashing to perform this combo. (midair): The move has to be performed in midair. (standing): The opponent must be standing. ########################################################################## ########################## Individual Combos ########################### ########################################################################## CINDER ========== CONNECTORS ========== cF,B+1 2 hits N/A 4 2 hits after F,F,1 (midair) 1 3 hits after F,F,2 2 3 hits after cF,B+1 or Jump6 ======= ENDINGS ======= F,F,2 4 + air F,QCT+5 4 + air F,QCT+6 4 + air ====== COMBOS ====== Normal 11: Jump6,2,F,F,1,F,QCT+6,wait,F,F,3 15: F,F,2,cF,1,B+1,2,F,QCT+5/6,wait,F,F,3 Ultimate 11: F,F,2,cF,1,B+1,2,HCB+5 Ultra 29: F,F,2,cF,1,B+1,2,F,F,3,wait,F,F,3 ************************************************************************** TJ COMBO ========== CONNECTORS ========== cF,B+1 2 hits N/A 5 3 hits cF,B+1 or cB,F+4/6 ====== ENDING ====== cB,F+2 3 + air cB,F+6 3 + air cB,F+3 4 + end cB,F+1 4 + air ====== COMBOS ====== *** - |ndicates that the roll must hit the opponent 3 times.

Keep holding 1+2+3+right until the game starts. This will make the fight go super fast for one fight only. You performed this trick correctly if you hear a "swoosh" sound. High Scores Table: During the demo mode, press up on one of joysticks to view the high scores. Change Character Color: At the character selection screen, pressing up or down will change the color of your character. You cannot choose the same color your opponent chose. Random Select Character: At the character selection screen, hold up and press start. A random character will be chosen for you. Combo Breaker: During the animated sequence before the fight, hold down+start on both controllers. The effects of this trick are unknown during a 2 player game. However, when playing one player, this trick will allow the computer to perform shadow moves without doing a combo breaker. You performed this trick correctly if you hear the announcer say "combo breaker". Stage and Music Select: When you are at the character selection screen, holding up or down on the joystick and pressing a button will choose either the stage or music from a specific stage. If you are the first person to choose your character, you get to choose the stage. If you are the second person to choose, you get to choose the music from a stage. The joystick direction and buttons needed for each stage are listed below: Wooden Bridge: D+1 Bloody Alter: D+2 Lava Bridge: D+3 Chicago Street: D+4 Room w/fireplace: D+5 Small Sky Arena: D+5 (both players) Factory: D+6 Ice Temple: U+1 Infinite Caves: U+2 Ice Sculpture: U+3 Castle Roof: U+4 Roof in Chicago: U+5 Desert Roof: U+6 or D+S Skeleton Room: ??? Tiger Shrine: ??? Boxing Gym: ??? ########################################################################## ############################## Glitches ################################ ########################################################################## TJ COMBO Midair Ultra Combo: Play on any of the rooftop stages and make sure your opponent is in the corner when they have just a little bit of energy left. Do the Double Backfist (CF,B+1). Immediately perform the Ultra Combo after the Double Backfist. The Double Backfist will knock the opponent off the roof but TJ Combo will start to do the ultra as they are falling. The opponent will mysteriously start flying upward and they will be spitting blood all over the place while in midair. ************************************************************************** FULGORE Mini Fulgore: When playing on the Desert Roof stage (U+6 or D+S), get the opponent into the edge and perform this combo: B,F+6,B+5,B,QCB+4 and when Fulgore appears on the other side of the opponent, he will be half his normal size. ************************************************************************** GLACIUS Stuck together: Play Glacius verses Glacius on any nonscrolling stage. Get both Glacius's in the corner next to each other and have them do the Puddle Teleport at the same time. They will both appear in the same place and they will be stuck together. You can get unstuck by jumping. No Ultimate: Perform the Ultimate Combo with 6 hits or more and when the opponent is about to be engulfed by the puddle, they bounce away and remain dizzy. it still counts as an Ultimate Combo but the opponent doesn't die. ************************************************************************** ORCHID Frog No Mercy Glitch: Perform the frog No Mercy (D,F,B,4), then hold up and tap any attack button rapidly. Orchid will leap into the air and hit the frog. The frog will turn into the normal character except they will look all green and distorted. Stuff to do after the No Mercy Glitch: 1) CB,F+2 and Orchid will start her Ultra Combo. 2) Press 6 and Orchid will disappear then reappear. 3) Rooftop Stages: knock them off the roof with a special move. ************************************************************************** SPINAL Midair Morph Combo: Perform a combo with Spinal then do the opponent morph move. Immediately after pressing the button tap up and Spinal will perform the morph combo while in midair. The actual motion is: D,D+_,U Stay Morphed as your Opponent: If you perform a specific Midair Morph Combo against certain players, Spinal will stay morphed as the gray opponent after missing them with the combo. Spinal will be able to perform all of the opponent's moves (including finishing moves) while he is morphed. Spinal can block moves, but if he gets hit or jumps he will morph back into Spinal. Also, when you are morphed as your opponent, Spinal's name changes to the opponent's name. 1) D,D+4,Up (vs. Jago) 2) D,D+1,Up (vs. Chief Thunder) ************************************************************************** CHIEF THUNDER Missing Firebird: Perform the Firebird Throw (QCT+4), then quickly hold the joystick back. Chief Thunder will stick out his hand but nothing will come out. ########################################################################## ############################## Credits ################################# ########################################################################## ******************** ** SPECIAL THANKS ** ******************** Phillip Ervin.........................................................none Henry Ha...............................................ST5O1@Jetson.UH.EDU Matt Hoppa.......................................71333.1060@compuserve.com *********************** ** OTHERS WHO HELPED ** *********************** Grant Bugher...............................................Vylanis@aol.com Joey Carter.......................................pinhead@merlin.nando.net Jesse Kindwall...................................kindwallj@picard.msoe.edu Doug McClendon......................................dmcclend@nyx.cs.du.edu James Polak...........................................JLP149@PSUVM.PSU.EDU George Samuelson...........................................Ladisla@aol.com Brian Smolik...............................................floyd@ripco.com Slycer AKA Lush Fan.........................................Umbors@aol.com Craig.....................................................TheGoofy@aol.com Tim..............................................74031.3657@compuserve.com ???.....................................................FreakofNIN@aol.com ???........................................................Matt00Z@aol.com Where you can find this FAQ in the future: 1) Posted in rec.games.video.arcade. 2) Available through FTP at ftp.krl.caltech.edu 3) In the file libraries at Video Games Forum on CIS. 4) In the file libraries at the Video Games area on AOL. ************************************************************************** --- cut here ---.
