ver. 1.5 - Finished data on all Easy, Hard, and Extra Missions, filled in
more data for characters.
ver. 1.0 - First draft
Now, before I begin, note that none of the movelists in this faq really
go in-depth with what to do with each of every fighter's moves. However,
upon requests, if I get enough of them, I'll add in in-depth strategies for
each and every fighter in this faq. But, that's up to you guys if you want
to see that.

IV. Basic Game Information [BGI01]
This section is to familiarize yourself with the game's system.
Some things, such as how to perform a Super Cancel and Guard
Cancel, are not explained in the manual, so use this section to your
advantage.
Light Punch (Square) - Does a weak punch move, but you can chain
many of these (oftentimes) together.
Strong Punch (Triangle) - Does a strong punch move, but cannot chain
them together like with the Light Punch.
Light Kick (X) - Same as with the Light Punch.
Strong Kick (O) - Same as with the Strong Kick.
Sabaki (L1) - This move is used to counter an opponent's move and
allows you to counterattack. However, you must time it at the moment
that the opponent would hit you. Note that it works against some
Super Specials as well. There are two variations of Sabaki: Low and
High. Use the Low Sabaki to counter Low attacks, and the High
Sabaki for High and Mid attacks. Once you perform a Sabaki, you
can immediately chain a SP or SK to counterattack.
Counter-Sabakai - This is simply countering your opponent's Sabaki
by performing a Sabaki against their attack.
Blow-Back Attack (R2, or Triangle + O, or SP + SK) - This move
knocks the opponent far away from you, and deals a decent amount
of damage.
Super Cancel (Takes 2 Power Guages to use) - This is used to cancel
out of moves and directly into a Super Special. However, note that
it takes 2 Power Guages to perform this, along with the Power Guage
for the Super Move. Therefore, you'll most likely never pull off a Level
2 Super Cancel, unless you have 5 Power Guages.
Guard Cancel (While guarding, hit R2, or Triangle + O, or SP + SK) -
This move allows you to go into a Blow-Back Attack in the middle
of a guard. However, keep in mind that it takes 1 Power Guage to
perform this, and must be done while guarding.
Guard Crash - This happens when your Guard runs out and you
keep getting attacked. If you guard while you have no Guard Bar (the
bar under your health bar), the first attack will be blocked, but any
other attack in a combo will hit you regardless, and you are left
vulnerable.
Sidestep (R1, or Square + X, or LP + LK) - This allows you to step to
the side of the opponent and allows you to attack. If you perform a
Sidestep and do a SP or SK during the Sidestep, you can knock your
opponent away. To do a Sidestep towards the screen, hit Down + R1.
Emergency Evasion (Forward or Back + R1) - This allows you to
escape moves unharmed, unless you roll into an attack. Great for
zoning purposes.
Small Jump (Down, then Up slightly) - This can be used to trick your
opponent and allow you to land a few sneak attacks.
Hyper Jump (Down, then Up quickly and forward or back) - This is
great for jumping quicker and moving farther than a normal jump. To
see if you performed it correctly, look for shadow images of the character.
Provacation (L1) - This will make your character do their taunt. Nothing
special about it except to annoy your friends.
*Pushing the Select button during a match will bring up the Skills List
for a character.
**Pushing the Select button while in a menu in a battle will allow you
to use a camera.

V. Character Movelists [CM00]
Now, for the big part of the faq....the characters!
*Note that for moves, English names will be first, while the Japanese
names for those moves (san some characters) will come underneath
the English names.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Alba Meira [CM01]
One of the main characters from Maximum Impact returns for his second
game, and this time, he's gotten a couple new moves. Still plays the
same as in the previous installment. A bit overpowered though
compared to the other characters....

--First Impression--
Considering that Alba did well in the first game (and that he was one
of the more overpowered characters in that game), my first impression
was that he was going to be the exact same as he was then. As it
turned out, I was quite correct....
--Final Analysis--
Alba's Stylish Moves are pretty easy to pull off, and they can confuse
the opponent (and even you) at any given time. His Surreptitious
Punch of the Thundergod and Hallowed Slug of the Heavenly
Conqueror (why would you need names that long for an attack anyways?)
are amongst the best that he has. I wouldn't bother with Celestial
Slam of Odin too much, as you have to be next to the opponent for it
to even connect. Most of Alba's Special Moves do require him to be
in close to the opponent, but his Luminescent Lash is a great way
to fight long range (but not recommended). More based around
combos than anything else.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Armor Ralf [CM02]
The most powerful and cheapest character in the game. You can hit
Armor Ralf until the cows come home, but he can walk through virtually
any attack and strike back at a moment's instant. Expect a tough fight if you
manage to find a really good Armor Ralf player!

--Final Analysis--
Two words: Very cheap. Even his Provacation does a ton of damage, and
his ability to shrug off all attacks and attack himself is insane. The strongest
fighter in the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Athena Asamiya [CM03]
The Psycho Soldier Idol singer returns yet again, and sports yet another
outfit. Her voice is a little annoying at times in this installment, but she's
still one of the top contenders in this game, and even has some nifty new
moves to boot.

-Super Cancelable Moves-
-Psycho Ball Attack
-Psycho Shoot
-Psycho Sword
-v Psycho Reflector
-Phoenix Arrow (Strong Only)
--First Impression--
Considering all of the other games that Athena appeared in (and
being close to top-tier in most of them), my thoughts were that
she'd retain her title as top-tier in this game. After all, her moves
can be pretty damn good, if used right.
--Final Analysis--
Athena turns out to still be good in this installment. Her Psycho Ball
and Psycho Shoot works wonders at any range (except that Psycho
Shoot isn't nearly as good at close-range). Psycho Sword is Athena's
only real Anti-Air move (aside from Psycho Shoot) and her Phoenix
Arrow is by-far her best move that she has. She still is by far one of
the top-tier fighters in this game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Bonne Jenet [CM04]
Returning from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Bonne Jenet can actually
put up quite a fight if you let her. However, her moves aren't that
great unless you constantly hammer the same move over and over.
I consider her to be mid- to low-tiered.

-Super Cancelable Moves-

--First Impression--
None...
--Final Analysis--
I wasn't impressed with Jenet at all. Her moves are decent, and she
has decent speed, but all in all, she's easily beaten if studied right.
All of her moves can leave her wide-open if blocked, and none of them
are outstanding by any means. Mid-tiered at best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Billy Kane [CM05]
Returning from KOF 2002, Billy isn't nearly as great as some of the other
fighters, but certainly not one of the worst. You just have to be able to
use his moves at the correct time.

20) (During Hades Heave) B-D + SP
-Super Cancelable Moves-
Except for Soaring Crackdown Cane, all of Billy's Super Moves are Super
Cancelable.
--First Impression--
Seeing as how Billy wasn't all that good in previous KOF titles, I figured that
he wasn't going to be that much better in this installment. Not much else
to say about Billy.
--Final Analysis--
Billy turns out to be better than what he appears in this installment. You can
make good use of most of his attacks, and several of them tend to be Super
Cancelable. This gives him more options than most fighters, AND he has
better range than most fighters (though you still have to be close up to really
hammer them).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Chae Lim [CM06]
Kim's disciple returns, and is better than before. However, she's still not one
of the best fighters (as opposed to others), but can still fight with the best
of them. Learn combos and chains and you should be fine.

Chae Lim and Kim are one and the same pretty much. Read the section on
Kim for info on Chae Lim. Simple as that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Clark Still [CM07]
Still one of the worst fighters, IMO. You have to rely on Grappling with Clark
to really win, as he doesn't have that many combos and not that many good
Special moves. You'll really have to learn to get in close and work with
single-strike moves to win.

--Final Analysis--
I've never liked Clark. And this game gives me more of a reason to hate him.
The CPU makes him seem really good, but when you try to do half of what
the CPU does, it doesn't work. And his moves are ridiculously horrible. I'd
put him in low-tier in this game compared to the rest of the cast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
8) Duke [CM08]
The former boss of Maximum Impact returns as a regular fighter, and isn't
nearly as broken as he was in Maximum Impact. However, he is one of the
best fighters in the game, as he relies on constant rush-downs and combos
to win.

--First Impression--
After playing Maximum Impact, I was wondering if Duke would still be as
broken in this game as in that one. However, it turns out I was wrong on
that.
--Final Analysis--
As stated before, one of the best fighters in the game. Utlilize his Stylish
Moves and Specials wisely, as some of them will leave you open if you don't
watch it. Constantly attack your opponent!

--Final Analysis--
Fio is rather decent, but most of her moves are easily countered, and she
isn't that good in any circucmstances. Definently low-tiered if anything else.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Hanzo Hattori [CM10]
A warrior from Samurai Shodown makes his appearance in the KOF world.
He plays very similiar to Nagase, so if you can use her, then you can pretty
much use Hanzo. Combos are the key for victory with Hanzo along with
mind-games.

--Final Analysis--
Hanzo's pretty fast and all, but his attacks don't do much damage unless you
learn how to combo them together and chain an endless stream of attacks.
Otherwise, he has a lot of options for attackind and defending, depending
on how you want to play Hanzo. Mid-tier at best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
11) Hyena [CM11]
The guy who told you about Mephistopheles and the tournament in
Maximum Impact is now a playable fighter in this installment, and let's
just say, he's not to be taken lightly...

-Super Cancelable Moves-
Except for Hyena Gyro, all of Hyena's Special Moves are Super
Cancelable.
--First Impression--
"...What....the.....hell?"
--Final Analysis--
At first, I thought to myself, "Oh goody....we have a Dan-type fighter."
Then I started using him and.....well.....he's actually pretty damn good.
His attacks aren't overly powerful until you learn to harness his Grovel
Fest and Hail "Bloody Mary" Punch, but they're still pretty good. Most
can be used to pressure the opponent, while the others are great for
mind-games. His Grovel Fest is the best way of building up Super Meter
as well, so use it well. Mid-tiered at best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
12) Iori Yagami [CM12]
Kyo's old rival makes a comeback in this installment with some rather
nifty moves. Though you can pretty much still play Iori as in the previous
titles, you may want to try some newer strategies with him this time around.

--First Impression--
None...
--Final Analysis--
Iori's definently one to fear, especially with his new Calamitious Zephyr
move, which makes him move twice as fast as long as he has Power
Guages. All of his attacks are pretty powerful, but you'll have to watch
for them being blocked, as some of them will leave Iori wide-open to
punishment. Mid- to top-tiered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
13) Jivatma [CM13]
The final boss of this game isn't really as tough or as powerful as most
of the other fighters, though he has the best reach of them all. His Level
2 and 3 Super Specials are killer, if they connect.

--First Impression--

--Final Analysis--
Jivatma's not bad, but not that good. He has a limited amount of moves
that he can use, and his Stylish Moves aren't that great. Still, he has
the best reach, and his Level 2 and 3 Super Specials are very powerful.
Mid-tiered at best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
14) K' [CM14]
One of my favorite fighters, just because he's a badass fighter who can
take what comes to him, and dish it out even worse. K' is definently one of
the top contenders in this game, and with his new Crimson Starload Super
Special, he's ready to take on anyone.

--Final Analysis--
K' is no doubt top-tiered. He can counter basically anything that's thrown
at him and more, his combos wreck massive havoc on life, and all of his
moves are very powerful. Plus, he has that badass factor going on, and add
all of this together, and you have the makings of a great fighter.

--Final Analysis--
As said earlier, you'll need to learn all of Kim's combos and what attacks
can chain into what. Don't bother with Kim's Feints, unless you know how
to do mind-games. Not much else to say...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
16) Kula Diamond [CM16]
After her first appearance in KOF 99, Kula's become of the more powerful
fighters in the series (though still not nearly as powerful as some others).
However, she stacks up to the best in this installment, and some of her
newer moves prove to be quite deadly.

24) Fx2 + SK, SKx2
-Super Cancelable Moves-
Except for the Counter Shell and the Ray Spin follow up Rest,
all of Kula's Special Moves are Super Cancelable.
--First Impression--
Since her first appearance in KOF '99, Kula's been a rather interesting fighter.
She's almost nothing but a clone of K', minus some moves. Add to the fact
that she doesn't neccesarily combo that much, and she takes damage rather
badly, and you have a mediocre fighter at best.
--Final Analysis--
After playing as Kula, I've come to the conclusion that she's a little better,
but not as much as in the previous installments. She has some newer moves,
and can combo a lot easier, but that's about it. She still takes damage easily,
and she doesn't neccesarily do that much damage unless you do combo with
her, which can be countered pretty easily. About mid- to low-tier in this game
at best. Still a fun character to use, nonetheless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
17) Kyo Kusanagi [CM17]
One of the main heroes of KOF returns for yet another tournament. Except
this time, he's packing a lot of heat with some older moves and a couple
newer ones. He relies heavily on combos though, so you may want to
try and practice some before you attempt to use this beast.

--Final Analysis--
Kyo Classic is just as powerful, if not stronger, than Kyo himself.
His Stylish Moves are pretty much the same as Kyo's (as are a lot
of his moves), but some of his own unique moves are strong, and his
Provacation, when held down, builds up Power Guage. Mid- to
top-tiered.

Leona's combos are not the greatest, and her attacks aren't much better.
However, if you can play strategically and utilize her attacks as more of
counters, you should be able to survive long enough to pull off a victory.

Leona's not bad.......but not good either. You have to know strategy and how
to use Leona in order to stand a chance with her.

20) Lien Neville [CM20]
Lien returns, and this time around, she's packing a lot more heat than in
the previous installments like the other returning fighters. How does she
stack up then? She's really based around strategy more than anything else,
so you'll have to learn when and how to time and use each of her different
attacks to make her remotely effective.

--First Impression--
Lien wasn't all that great in Maximum Impact, but as with everyone else, I'd
thought she'd be better than in the previous installment.
--Final Analysis--
Lien is more practical to use in this game than in Maximum Impact, but still
isn't one of the greatest fighters to use. In fact, she's probably mid-tiered
at most. Her moves just aren't that great at all, and some even leave her prone
to attacks. More for the strategic player than anyone else.

--First Impression--
N/A
--Final Analysis--
After using Lilly for a brief time, I found out that she's a little different
from Billy, but not that much. In fact, she has less Stylish Moves than
Billy, and does a little less damage than Billy. Her Super Specials are
pretty much the same as well, with the exception of her Level 3 Super
Special, which is nice, but shouldn't be used that much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
22) Luise Meyrink [CM22]
One of the newest characters to come into the KOF world. Mostly
relies on combos and getting in close to deal damage though, so you'll
need to practice on rushdown tactics to use her successfully. Also,
baiting works well with Luise.

--First Impression--
None...
--Final Analysis--
Luise is based more around confusing your opponent and punishing
them on mistakes more than anything else. A lot of her moves leave
her far too open if blocked, and not all of them are that great to being
with. If you're going to try and learn how to use Luise, then you'd
better learn EVERYTHING that you can. Mid-tiered at best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
23) Mai Shiranui [CM23]
The sexiest ninja to ever bounce onto her way into the fighting
genre returns yet again, and this time around, she's packing a lot of
heat. Mai gets some of her old moves back from previous games
(some of which have been gone for quite some time, like Solar Flash
Dance), and even has a couple new moves to boot. Don't underestimate
her at any given point in a fight; otherwise, you may end up being
KO'ed rather quickly.

-Super Cancelable Moves-
-Folding Fan Fandango

-Heavenly Serpent's Tail Swing
-Solar Flash Dance
-First Impression-
At first glance, you'd think she was only there to distract the male
players with her bounciness and beauty. She looks weak, and her
attacks don't look astounishing to any extent. However, anyone who's
played her in any of the previous games that she's been in knows
better. She is by far the quickest of the cast, and even though her attacks
do low damage, she can chain them together to create a wave of mass
destruction to her opponent. However, she lacks defense, and suffers
a lot from attacks. One would think she'd be mid to low-tier.
-Final Analysis-
I already knew that Mai was good, but once I got a hold of her in this
game, I saw that she had been vastly improved upon from the previous
games, and that she was by far one of the most broken characters in
the game. Most of her Stylish Moves are simple and easy to pull off,
and they deal a crap load of damage and can be looped almost infinitely
into other Stylish Moves and her dreadful Solar Flash Dance.
A pretty powerful character, and a good starting character to use.
I'd say she's mid- to top-tier in this game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
24) Maxima [CM24]
A juggernaut who can really deal damage when he gets his combos going.
However, you'll need to learn timing in order to get the combos to come
out right. Single-strikes are good, but you'll want to use all of Maxima's
Super Moves to get you through.

--First Impression--
None.....
--Final Analysis--
Maxima is extremely powerful, and his Level 2 and 3 Super Specials are
perhaps a little overpowered. A lot of his normal Specials are strong too, and
add on the fact that Maxima has a little higher stats compared to the rest of
the cast, and you have your juggernaut (though Armor Ralf still outranks him).
----------------------------------------------------------------------

--First Impression--
Mignon was a little impressive in Maximum Impact, but she wasn't that great
by any means. As with everyone else, I thought she'd get a little better.
--Final Analysis--
Mignon did indeed get better, but is still lacking behind some of the better
fighters, and is probably one of the low-tiered fighters of the game. Still,
as with Seth, it's still possible to win with her. Most of her attacks are
ranged, so you'll want to make good use of those. She's not one for up-close
fighting, so don't use her for that. Instead, focus more on turtling to win.

26) Mr. Karate [CM26]

his Power Guage just by simply holding the Provacation button down.

--Final Analysis--
After seeing Nagase for the first time, I wasn't very impressed. And after
hearing that she was modeled after the guy who made her.....I was a little
disturbed. However, I gave her a chance, and well......she's a rather tough
fighter to use. You have to utilize her combos and mix-up her Specials often.
Getting in close isn't as much of a priority with Nagase as you would think;
playing mind games is what you want to aim for. However, don't expect to
win that much against more experience players using those tactics.

28) Nightmare Geese [CM28]
The original final boss of Fatal Fury, and the originator of the King
of Fighters tournament, makes another return to the KOF scene. He
still plays the same as with every other incarnation, but some of his
moves can be really overpowering, like his Raising Storm and
Rashomon. You'll need to make the best use of his Body Slam moves,
as those are going to be key to beating your opponent silly.

--First Impression--
Considering that Geese was amongst the strongest of the KOF cast in
previous titles, there was no doubt in my mind that he still is one of the
best in this installment. Raising Storm was by far his most overpowered
move, and his countering abilities proved to be quite problematic.
--Final Analysis--
After using Geese in this installment, I've come to a rather inconclusive
analysis. Geese is still as good as he was back in the previous titles,
but with the coming of newer fighters (Alba and Soiree in particular),
Geese's power has dropped a bit. Still, his Body Slam counters make for
a great defensive fight, and his variety of ranged moves can keep most
opponents from even getting near him. On offense, he's like a raging
demon that can't be stopped. Most of his Stylish Moves are insanely
good, and comboing them into moves like Raging Storm and Rashomon
are simple enough to do. A great fighter to use, but more for the
advanced players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mignon's little sister makes her first appearance here, and she plays better

--First Impression--
At first, the only thing I though was that Ninon was going to be an exact
copy of Mignon with very little changes done to her.
--Final Analysis--
Well.......let's just say that Ninon doesn't play EXACTLY like Mignon...just a
bit like her. She has her own teleport move and a couple new Super Specials
that Mignon doesn't have. Other than that....not much else is truly different
from her and Mignon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
30) Ralf Jones [CM30]
The leader of the Ikagi Team is back once again. Ralf's not too bad, but
isn't one of the best in the game. You'll have to focus on using single-strike
attacks a lot, and utlizing Sabaki and other defensive tactics to win with this
one.

Ralf's just as I've said earlier.....you'll need to use him defensively to win.
You can try and go on the offensive, but odds are, you won't last long
against some of the more powerful fighters (Alba, Terry, Mai, etc.). Learn
to counterattack, and you'll do fine with him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
31) Richard Meyer [CM31]
Richard returns from Fatal Fury for the first time in the KOF series. He's
gotten pretty good now, and is probably one of the better fighters in the
game himself. You'll need to try and use him somewhat like Soiree, but a
little different.

--First Impression--
None.....
--Final Analysis--
Richard's good..........REALLY good, especially if you know how to use him
right. His Wild Dance is a little tough to pull off due to tight conditions, but
it's still very powerful. The rest of his moves are also strong, and he's great
at combos. Definently mid- to top-tier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
32) Rock Howard [CM32]
The son of Nightmare Geese comes back again, and this time around,
he's no pushover. His Neo Raging Storm and MAX Version Shining
Knuckle do their fair share of damage, and his normal Raging Storm is
just overpowered. Rock is by far one of the most balanced fighters in
the game, being able to go on the offense or defense in a pinch. Utilize
all of his moves to maximize your use of Rock.

-Super Cancelable Moves-
Except for New Double Cyclone Punch, Rising Tackle, Shifting Rage

Super Moves are Super Cancealable.
--First Impression--
I've only seen Rock in 2 other games (Capcom Vs. SNK 2 and KOF:
Maximum Impact), so I'm still rather fresh on him. In the previous
instalmment, Rock wasn't really all that great. His moves were rather
easy to dodge, and his Stylish Moves were a bit lacking. My first
thought of him in this game was that he was going to be even worse.
--Final Analysis--
It turns out that Rock plays better in this installment than in the last.
His new DOA Thrashing moves are very nice, but other than that, not
much has been done to him. You can play him almost like Terry or Geese
still, but he's nowhere near their level of play. However, he is one of the
most balanced fighters in this game, that much I can give him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
33) Ryo Sakazaki [CM33]
The one who really begun SNK's series way back in Art of Fighting returns
for what, his 60th+ game? And he's still as good (or bad, whichever you want
to take it) as he's always been.

Ryo's been the same in just about every game that he's been in, with the
exception of some moves taken out or put in. I thought it'd be just the same
deal here.
--Final Analysis--
As with my first impression, I was right. The only thing that was really added
in was Kyokugen Raging Rumba and Wild Tiger Thunder Clap. Still the same
good ol' Ryo Sakazaki that we all know and love.

--First Impression--
Of course, you look at Seth and probably automatically think that he sucks.
And if you've played previous KOF games and used him, you'll probably
think that here too. However, in the previous installment, he did redeem
himself a bit.
--Final Analysis--
Seth actually can put up a hell of a fight. His combos wreck havoc on life, and
his mind-games and mix-up strategies are top priority. Other than that, there's
not much else to say about him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
35) Soiree Meira [CM35]
The second main character from Maximum Impact also returns and
is just as annoying here as he was then. He even has a few new

them....). Quick attacks and constant combos are the key to winning
with this fighter!

--First Impression--
From his first appearance, I figured that Soiree would still one of the more
overpowered fighters in the game (as he was in the previous installment).
Not much else to say here about Soiree.
--Final Analysis--
After using Soiree....I found out just how annoying he's become. He's still
like he was in Maximum Impact (minus a couple moves), but compared to his
previous incarnation, he's better. That's about all that can be said about him.
Use him as he was used in Maximum Impact, if you've played that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
36) Terry Bogard [CM36]
The original King of Fighters is back for, what, his 30th game? Meh.
Nobody can get enough of good ol' Terry anyways. He's just as good
as he was in every other game; average in all aspects and able to
counter basically anything thrown at him. Don't expect much mercy
from Terry players, especially if they know how to utilize his Stylish
Combos into his Buster Wolf or Triple Power Geyser combos.

-First Impression-
I knew that Terry was still going to be the big bad ass that he
was back in the days of Fatal Fury. It's hard to see him not being
good anytime soon. Anytime I see Terry in a game, I think "Yes....now
we have a character who can counter basically everything. What a
badass!" He fared well in Maximum Impact, so I figured that he'd fare
pretty well in this installment.
-Final Analysis-
After seeing some old moves return from KOF 2002/2003 and the
addition of some newer ones, it was obvious that Terry was around
mid- to top-tier in this game. Not to mention that he has some really
nasty combos, and add to the fact that he can counter everything, and
you have the makings of a great character. Very balanced in all aspects.
However, his Stylish Moves lack recovery and startup times in most
cases, so using them may prove to be Terry's downfall. If you're going
to use them, be sure you know that they're going to hit.
________________________________________
37) Wild Wolf [CM37]
Terry's counterpart from KOF 2003 returns, and is even better than Terry
himself. His Super Specials are very powerful, and his Specials are just as
powerful as Terry's, if not a little more. If you can use Terry, you should
be able to use this fighter.

--First Impression--
Well, since I've played 2003, and since I remember seeing this fighter from
there, I figured that he'd be the same as then. Same moves and everything.
Nothing else to say here...
--Final Analysis--
Wild Wolf is clearly NOT the same as in KOF 2003....at all! He seems to have
moves that Terry had from SvC Chaos and from KOF 2003, along with a
couple other moves. He's also a bit faster and stronger than Terry.

38) Yuri Sakazaki [CM38]

--First Impression--
After seeing Yuri in action in previous KOF titles, I saw her as somewhat
mid-tier. Sure, she has some nice moves and all, but they were all easily
countered, and she didn't quite do very much damage with her attacks.
In the previous installment, she seemed rather bland compared to her
earlier incarnations.
--Final Analysis--
However, this installment seems to have made Yuri rather formidable.
Her new Yuri's Triple Super Upper and Yuri's Finishing Upper were a
nice twist, and her new Rising Conquering Crunch does a good deal
of damage. She still can be countered easily, but now that she has more
speed to back her up, along with her Stylish Moves, she can present
quite a challenge to those who use her well enough.
________________________________________
VI. Extra Stuff [ES01]
1) Time Attack [TA]
Your objective here is to beat the opponent's with as fast of a time
as you can get. However, there is also another objective to this;
beating Time Attack with every character will get you a new color
for them. Nifty, eh?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Survival Mode [SM]
Here, you must win 200 battles to complete Survival Mode. How hard
is it, you ask? It can get very gruesome, especially once you get past
Round 50. Here's some data for you on this Mode:
Before each fight, you will be able to see who your opponent for the
next match will be. Now, here's the key: Underneath the graphics for
your opponent will be a section that'll tell you specific things about
that fighter. This is used for every 10 Rounds, so keep an eye on it!
Now, you'll be able to do several things before each fight, such as
recover health or time. You'll need points to use these bonuses however.
How do you get points? You earn them from each round you fight.
15 for each regular fight, 30 for every boss fight. Spend these points
wisely!
Here are the different bonuses that you can use throughout Survival
Mode:
Time - Restores 60 seconds to the time. You start with 5 minutes, and
if you let the time run out, you lose. Keep this above 3 minutes at all
times! Costs 5 points to start with, but later on, it'll cost 5 more points
every 50 rounds.
Life - This is key! You do not recover life after fights, so use this whenever
you run low on health, as it fully restores your health. However, you
start with a limit of 15 uses, and after that, you'll have to wait until
Round 50 before you get 15 more uses. Round 100 is where you get 45
uses. This costs 10 points a piece.
Attack Up - You get this option after Round 50. You start off by adding
on up to 25% more attack (later on, it'll increase to 50%, then 75%). This
costs 5 points per 5%.
Life Up - As with the Attack Up, you get this option after Round 50.
It's the same as with the Attack Up, but instead of increasing Attack,
it increase Life for that fight only. Costs 5 points per 5%.
Life Recover - This allows you to regain life during the current battle
only. A nice feature, and you get it late in Survival Mode (past Round
160). Costs 300 points to use.
1 Power Guage - Costs 100 points to use. This adds on an extra Power
Guage to use in a fight. However, I wouldn't recommend using your
points on this at all.
Max Power Guage - Costs 300 points. This gives you a full Power
Guage for a fight. However, as with the previous option, don't waste
your points on it.
Ressurection - You only get 2 of these throughout the Mode, so use
them with caution! What this does is when you are KO'ed in a fight,
you return to the Battle Screen with what you had before the fight.
The upside is that you get a second chance, but the downside is that
anything that happened in the previous fight is negated. Therefore,
don't expect to go back into a fight with the opponent injured. These
cost 350 points a piece. You get this option after Round 100.
Character Change - This costs no points, but you can only use it
twice throughout the entire Survival Mode. Basically, this option allows
you to switch out your current fighter with another fighter. Though, I
wouldn't waste time with it, as you should be good enough with the
first person you choose.
Now, once you get past Round 100, you'll see that you'll have 5 Power
Guages instead of 3, so keep this in mind. Next, I'll explain the bosses
that you fight every 10 Rounds, and try to give you strategies for
beating them.
(Note that I used Mai for my Survival Mode, and I also spammed some
of her combos and moves)
Billy Kane (Round 10)
Status:
Life 100%
P. Guage 0/3 + Recover
Attack 100%
This fight shouldn't be too hard for you. You can easily beat Billy by
constantly pressuring him with close-up attacks. Nothing hard here at
all. After all, he IS the first boss of the mode, right?
Mai Shiranui (Round 20)
Status:
Life 80%
P. Guage MAX
Attack 100%
Unless you're new to this game and don't know how to use your
fighter, or you're just having a hard time, this fight shouldn't be too hard
for you. Just focus on spamming constant combos, and don't worry
about Sabakis. You should come out of this fight with about 75% of your
health left intact. Try to mix up mid and low attacks to get through her
defenses.
Ralf Jones (Round 30)
Status:
Life 100% + Recover
P. Guage 0/3 + Recover
Attack 100%
In this fight, you'll want to focus on constantly pushing Ralf back. All
of his attacks have to be done while close in on you, so as long as you
can keep him away, you won't take much damage. However, doing it
this way will waste precious time that you'll want to keep, so your
best bet is to get in there and rumble with him. Show him what a real
man is like!
If you're good with Sabaki, try using it in this fight a lot to counter
Ralf's moves when you see them. Otherwise, stick to Stylish Moves
(Mai's xxx Stylish Move works very well here).
Lien Neville (Round 40)
Status:
Life 180%
P. Guage 0/3 + Recover
Attack 100%
This fight isn't too hard, but it's not going to be that easy either. Watch
for Lien's close-ranged combos, and try to Sabaki them. Counter with
your favorite Stylish Moves and Custom Combos, and if you have
to, spam some moves that the AI doesn't block that well (i.e. Burning
Knuckle, Burning Mai).
K' (Round 50)
Status:
Life 50%
P. Guage MAX
Attack 170%
Alright, this fight you'll HAVE to watch out for! The most deadly attack
that K' can do to you (which can instantly kill you) is Crimson Starload
(his Counter Stance Super Special). Also, watch out as he'll use a lot
of combos (and spam a couple moves a lot). Black Out is also a problem,
as he tends to use it at the moment that you go to use a Super Special.
However, doing a Aerial Blowback attack seems to work everytime
against him.
Ryo Sakazaki (Round 60)
Status:
Life 150%
P. Guage 0/3 + Recover
Attack 150%
This fight is where it does get very difficult. Watch for Ryo's Level 3
Super Special, as that'll take you out in one blow. Furious Fandango
and Conquering Crunch are also very hazardous here, so watch out
for them. Whiplash Bash will actually do some real damage too, so
try and Sabaki it, but don't counterattack from it, as you'll only end
up getting in a Sabaki war. Ryo will try to constantly hammer on you
with several moves (one being his Special kick move, the other being
his Stylish combo). Keep your cool and try to spam Anti-AI moves
on him, or try and use some Stylish Moves (just not ones that have
bad startup and recovery times on them).
Soiree Meira (Round 70)
Status:
Life 250%
P. Guage 0/9
Attack 50%
This fight will just take a lot of time. Soiree is just as annoying as he is
in any other mode, so you can just fight him as you do in those modes.
As always, watch for his crouching kick combos and his little surfboarding
attack move.
Jivatma (Round 200)
Status:
Health: 400%
Attack: 150%
This fight is pretty hard, especially if you didn't have enough points
to use on Attack Up and Life Up (both at 50% perferrably) and at least
one Ressurection, just in case. Jivatma fights just as he does in Story
Mode, so fight him as you would there. This fight will take a while, so
hopefully your time is almost maxed out as well.
Once you've beaten Survival Mode, you'll unlock 3 new stages, 6
new colors, and the Hidden Soundtrack for every character!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Easy Missions [EM]
There are 10 levels in this mode, each with 10 missions. And after
beating a mission, you unlock a new color for a character. So, in all,
you can unlock 100 colors, and a new stage, if you complete all 100
missions. Also, once you've beaten Easy Mission, Hard Mission will
become available to you. Let's go through each mission seperately
and see how we can beat them.

Opponent: Luise Meyrink
Conditions: None
-Alba Meira
Work on getting Alba's Power Guage maxed out, then hammer on a
Celestial Slam of Odin first, then follow that up with Winds of Pain and
Luminescent Slashes to win.
-Armor Ralf
Use Gung-ho Galactica Phantom, then end it quickly with his DPF + P
move.
-Athena Asamiya
Try getting her Power Guage maxed out, then fire off three Phoenix
Fang Arrows at Luise. Follow up with Psycho Sword or a Stylish
Move.
-Bonne Jenet
Max out her Power Guage, then fire off 3 Tempest of Torpedoes. Try
using Die Hinder afterwards.
-Billy Kane
Use his Mighty Whirlwind, then go from there with Whirlwind
Cudgel until you can fire off a Super Fire Wheel (don't hold it down
for too long).
-Chae Lim
Use 3 Phoenix Heaven Kicks, then try and go with Climbing Kick or
Swooper Kick. Finish it off with another Phoenix Heaven Kick if you
can.
-Clark Still
This one's tough. Don't bother with MAX Version Ultra Argentine
Backbreaker or Running Threes. Use 3 or 2 of Ultra Argentine
Backbreaker, then try and finish it quickly with some Super Argentine
Backbreakers.
-Duke
Use Duke's Stylish Move 1 and combo it into Sledgehammer. Ground
Zero is nice if you can get to it, but chain a Svived Gun off of it and
go into a Sledgehammer from there if you can.
-Fio
Fio Fio Time! is probably your best bet here, but it takes too long.
Go with SPECIAL MISSION: Swing Tomahawk or SPECIAL MISSION:
Double Machine Gun instead. Don't use K.A.M.I.K.A.Z.E. at all!
-Hanzo Hattori
Stylish Move 1 or 2 a couple times combined with True Shrike Dash
twice or Forbidden Encompassing Destruction should do the trick here.
-Hyena
If you can manage to get Hyena's "Hail Mary" Punch! to hit and go
with This Century's Most Wildest Sucker Punch!, it should be more
than enough to finish this mission. If not, then try and tack on a
Hyena Gyro afterwards.
-Iori Yagami
You can try and use Elemental Art of the Trinity, and then try to tack
on infinite Blue Blossoms, though you may want to use Calamitious
Zephyr, which doubles Iori's speed. Great for when you're using moves
like Blue Blossoms afterwards.
-Jivatma
Hell's Standard is good enough to finish this mission if you can get
two of them off in a row. If not, then try to use one, then go with
Divine Folly or Flames of Fate.
-K'
If you somehow got Crimson Starload to work, then you can easily
finish this one off by using Chain Drive or Heat Drive afterwards.
Otherwise, just focus on using 3 Heat Drives and then combo into
K's The Trigger combo.
-Kim
Go with Phoenix Kicks and Scorching Flame Attack to win this one.
-Kula Diamond
Freezing Execution is nice, but instead go with Diamond Edge or MAX
Diamond Edge to win this fight. Add in some Diamond Breaths and
Critical Cold, and you should easily get this one with Kula.
-Kyo Kusanagi
Heavenly Force to Repressed Serpent of the Kusanagi works wonders
here, as do 3 Repressed Serpents. Try comboing Wicked Chew combos
after one (or all) of the previous to finish this mission.
-Kyo Kusanagi Classic
Spontaneous Final Judgment should be your main concern here, then
combo into Plover Picker to Exorcism. Use some of Kyo Classic's
Stylish Moves if you don't think you can make it in time.
-Leona
Don't bother with Grateful Dead or Rebel Spark, as they take too
long to use. Gravity Storm moves quickly, but takes 3 Power Guages
to use. You'll need to rely on fast, regular moves after a Gravity Storm
to pull your weight with Leona in this one.
-Lien Neville
It is unknown whether or not this is possible to do with Lien....
-Lilly Kane
Just as with Billy, you'll want to use Mighty Whirlwind and Super
Cold Wind Wheel along with Whirlwind Cudgels to win this one.
-Luise Meyrink
Fanfare of Hope is your best bet to winning this along with Requiem
for a Moth.
-Mai Shiranui
This is an easy one for the Ninja Babe. Use her Stylish Move 6, combo
it into a Solar Flash Dance, then end it with a Blossom Blizzard. Simple
as that.
-Maxima
Try comboing a few Bunker Busters off of System 1-2: Maxima Scramble
to Double Bomber to Bull Dog Press. If that doesn't work, you can
always try to combo a MZ Maxima Beam off of that combo, then use
a Bunker Buster when you are close to Luise.
-Mignon Beart
Don't bother with Heartful Present or Thunderbolt. Instead, use
Meteo-Strike and Explosion, then follow up with some of her Stylish
Moves. That's all there is too it.
-Mr. Karate
Initiate's Genuine Demon God Jab is pretty powerful, but stick with
Ultimate Conquering Crunch. Follow those up with Shrike Gales and
Demolition Uppers, and you should be able to take her down before
she fully heals. Don't bother with Initiate's Furious Fandango, as it
takes too much time to use.
-Nagase
As with Hanzo, use Nagase's biggest Stylish Move that she has, then
follow up with Punishment Mode-Type: Maximum Spirals or Punishment
Mode Type: Mirage Assault.
-Nightmare Geese
If you can pull off 3 Raising Storms, then you can kill Luise pretty
quickly afterwards with Evil Illusion Slams. If not, then go for a
Rashomon and then try to go with Evil Illusion Slams.
-Ninon Beart
As with Mignon, try to use her Rage of the Demiurges, but also use
her Ebony Moon of Hecate. Demiurge Thunderbolt helps a lot here
too, along with Stylish Move 1, 2, or 3.
-Ralf Jones
Galactica Phantom is the way to go here, if you can manage it. Two
of these badboys should be just about enough to finish Luise off.
If not, then go for the gusto and try tacking on some Gatling Attacks
or Vulcan Punches.
-Richard Meyer
It is unknown whether or not it is possible to do this with Richard...
-Rock Howard
Try using Neo Raging Storm, Shining Knuckles, or Raging Storm,
then tack on some Rising Tackles or Cyclone Punches. Don't bother
with too many of Rock's Stylish Moves, as they aren't all that great
here.
-Ryo Sakazaki
Shrike Gales and Conquering Crunchs are great here, but if you can
nail a Kyokugen Tiger Blast or even Conqueror's Blast during the
process, you should be able to handle this one easily.
-Seth
It is unkown whether or not it is possible to do with Seth....
-Soiree Meira
It is unknown whether or not it is possible to do with Soiree....
-Terry Bogard
Buster Wolf, Power Geyser, Triple Geyser, Burning Knuckle, Rising
Tackle. What more to say here?
-Wild Wolf
Same as with Terry.
-Yuri Sakazaki
For Yuri, you'll want to try and use Conquering Crunch and Hardcore
Super Upper to win this one for you. Don't bother with anything
else really, unless you can really nail Yuri's Stylish Moves.

4) Hard Missions [HM]
This is unlocked once you've beaten all 100 Easy Missions. And when
they say "Hard" Missions, they mean Hard. As with the Easy Missions,
there are 10 levels, each with 10 missions. However, unlike Easy Missions,
you are not able to choose your fighter. Instead, you're forced to use
certain fighters for each mission. And don't think that it stops there;
the missions can also have absurd requirements to them, such as
"Beat so-and-so in 15 seconds with so-and-so", amongst others. Let's
take a look at these missions and try to beat them with simple strategies,
shall we?
Here's the format for this section:
Player: The character that you have to use
Conditions: The conditions that'll affect what you have to do (ex.
Power Guage increases, Power Guage decreases, Life decreases, etc.)
Opponent: Who you will fight.
Conditions: Their conditions that'll affect what you have to do
**Note that all -10 missions are all ? missions, with the exception of
Mission 5-10 and 10-10!
--LEVEL 1--
1-1: Win in 15 seconds!
Player: Alba Meira
Conditions: Power Guage=Falls
Opponent: Luise Meyrink
Conditions: None
Try using Alba's Surreptitious Punch of the Thundergod as soon as
you get it, and don't bother with any other Super Special Moves of his.
Focus more on using his Stylish Move 5 or 9 to Surreptitious Punch of
the Thundergod to win this one.
1-2: Power Guages keeps falling. Win in 30 seconds!
Player: Terry Bogard
Conditions: Power Guage=Falls
Opponent: Lien Neville
Conditions: None
Your best bet here is to constantly hammer away with Burning Knuckles,
Power Geyser, and Rising Tackle. If it comes down to it, jump right on in
there and start hammering away with everything you've got!
1-3: Win in 30 seconds after using a Provacation!
Player: Lilly Kane
Conditions: None
Opponent: Athena Asamiya
Conditions: None
Simple one really. Just use a Provacation after you've hit Athena with a
Super Cold Wind Wheel, then finish it from there.
1-4: Guard Crash enemy in 10 seconds while lasers shoot from
satellites above!
Player: Fio
Conditions: None
Opponent: Yuri Sakazaki
Conditions: oo Life
All you really need to do is focus on just using Fio's SPECIAL MISSION:
Double Machine Gun and Stylish Moves 1, 2, and 3 to win this one.
1-5: Cannot guard. Win in 30 seconds!
Player: Clark Still
Conditions: Locked=Guard
Opponent: Soiree Meira
Conditions: None
1-6: Earn $5000 in 10 seconds!
Player: Soiree Meira

Focus on using Soiree's Stylish Move 17 or 27 the whole time to win this
one.
1-7: Win with a Throw in 10 seconds!
Player: Mignon Beart
Conditions: 1% Life
Opponent: Clark Still
Conditions: 1% Life
1-8: Defeat enemy with a series of combo attacks!
Player: Ralf Jones
Conditions: None
Opponent: Kyo Kusanagi Classic
Conditions: oo Power Guage
Here's a little strategy, credits to Phil Major:
Step 1: Run towards Kyo to push him close to the corner, without
striking him yet.
Step 2. With your first strike, hit him with your Level 3 Desperation,
charge enough so that when you actually let go and hit him, you
will have two stocks of energy.
Step 3: I then hit him with a ducking HP (by mistake, actually) and
then let loose with Ralph's level 2 Desperation. I doubt that the
ducking HP was necessary, given that Kyo would not have had
much life left since I charged the uppercut enough to get to level 2.
It's all in the timing.
If anyone is having troubles initiating Ralph's follow up uppercut
after his Level 3 Desperation attack here are some pointers:
You only have a very small frame of time to input the motion for the
uppercut. You must BEGIN imputing the command AFTER Ralph
has knocked the opponent up and yelled, (do not start it before
Ralph has smacked her or him away) yet you must have finished
the motion and hit HP WHILE THE OPPONENT IS STILL ON HER
OR HIS WAY UP, in other words, BEFORE the opponent has
reached the apex of their flight.

Conditions: Power Guage=Falls
Opponent: Richard Meyers

For this one, you'll want to try and avoid using any of Lien's Super Specials,

just bashing on your opponent with regular attacks.
2-2: Your life constantly decreases. Win in 30 seconds!
Player: Mai Shiranui
Conditions: 25% Life

Player: Maxima
Conditions: Locked=Fallbreaker
Opponent: Chae Lim

to win this one.
3-2: Guarding against enemy's attacks lead to Guard Crash. Win in 20
seconds!
Player: Ninon Beart
Conditions: 0% Guard
Opponent: Wild Wolf
Conditions: None
For this, try getting Ebony Moon of Hecate or The Silence of Mercurius

Lillith's Temptation, as that won't help at all in this mission.
3-3: Knock enemy down 5 times, then win in 20 seconds!

3-4: Land mines are set. Survive for 20 seconds!

3-5: Cannot hurt enemy with attacks other than Super Special moves.
Win in 30 seconds!
Player: Richard Meyer
Conditions: None
Opponent: Billy Kane

This one's hard. You'll need to get the first hit, so that you get the extra
Power Guage. Use only Rolling Armadillo to hit Billy, and use whatever
you can (preferably Stylish Moves 16 or 23) to get at least a Power Guage
back. You'll be cutting it real close in this mission regardless of what you
do.

twice to get Clark down enough to where you can win with the Power Guage
at MAX. Be careful that you don't accidentally use any Super Specials when
you go to kill Clark!
4-4: Knock down enemy 3 times first in 20 seconds!

Player: K'
Conditions: None
Opponent: Athena Asamiya
Conditions: oo Life
For this, you'll HAVE to get the first hit and HIT Athena with both of them.

back up immediately, and the last Requiem will connect.

Here's a strategy for this mission, credits to Phil Major:
Step 1:
Simply use your level 2 desperation, the one that charges you up.
Do this before you get hit, as it helps if you get the first attack for
the free charge level.
Step 2: Just hold down and spam HK. You can hit Mignon TONS
of times in your charged state while she's down.
The first time I tried this strategy, to my surprise, I took her down to
about 15% health. If you did got the first hit, you should be able to
repeat. If she's still not dead after that, you will have a good 20
seconds just to work back 2 more levels of energy and there's no
way she'll survive a third onslaught.
7-6: Items with unknown properties drop into the arena. Win in 30

Level 5: Destroy tank in 99 seconds!
Condition: Mines, lasers
-Alba Meira
Alba has it easy compared to some of the other fighters. Use
Surreptitious Punch of the Thundergod or Hallowed Slug of the
Heavenly Conqueror for your Super Specials (Hallowed Slug of
the Heavenly Conqueror is the preferred move, as it hits more and does
more damage than Surreptitious Punch). For regular attacks, try using
Stylish Moves 5 or 9. You'll need to either Super Jump or Side Step to avoid
the lasers.
-Armor Ralf
Armor Ralf is even easier to use here. Gung-ho Galactica Phantom is his
most powerful attack (if you use it before any lasers show up), and Gung-ho
Vicious Vulcan Punch works just as well, if you don't want to use Gung-ho
Galactica Phantom. Gung-ho Buffalo Ralf and Gung-ho Vulcan Punch works
well here too, but stay away from his Provacation, as you don't want to
waste too much time and life by doing something needless.
-Athena Asamiya
This can be hard for Athena. You can use Phoenix Arrow to escape lasers
and damage Metal Slug, but try and stay away from Phoenix Fang Arrow
if you see lasers. Guardian Crystal works well here if you can pull it off,
and Healing Athena helps if Athena's life gets too low. Stay far away from
Shining Crystal Bit, as it takes too long to use. Psycho Sword is a nice
alternative, but not needed. Stylish Moves 1, 2, 3, and 16 works well here
too, as long as Metal Slug doesn't use its cannon on you in the middle
of them.
-Bonne Jenet
Tempest of Torpedoes is the only Super Special move that you'll want
to use against this beast. Die Hinder and Buffles help here, but use Harrier
Bee to escape lasers. Don't bother with any of her Stylish Moves, as they
aren't that great here.
-Billy Kane
Mighty Whirlwind is your best bet here, as Super Fire Wheel takes too
long to use, as does Whirlwind Cudgel. Soaring Crackdown Cane is nice,
but don't use it that often. Stay away from Mid-Section Club Cruncher,
as it's not strong enough to be of any use. Dropping Sparrow is a decent
move to use, if you feel bold enough to do so. Stylish Moves 2, 3, and 5
are your best bet to hammering away at the metallic monster.
-Chae Lim
Phoenix Kick and Smothering Phoenix Kick are useless here, so don't
bother with them. In fact, you may not want to bother with Super Specials
at all, unless you want to try and use Heaven Phoenix Kick. Climbing
Kick is good, and can even lead to escaping lasers, if you do it over the
Metal Slug. You'll be using mostly Stylish Moves to win this one with
Chae Lim.
-Clark Still
This may be the hardest one to win with, and it's probably due to Clark's
lack of techniques that AREN'T grappling. You may have to resort to
nothing but regular attacks and Stylish Moves to survive this one, if that
is even possible to do.
-Duke
Stylish Move 1 is your best bet to hammering away at Metal Slug, but
don't forget Power Axe and Seismic Impact! Tall Hammer works well
here too, as does Ground Zero and Gravitational Wave. You'll be
forced to either Super Jump or Side Step to avoid lasers.
-Fio
This one could be easy or hard, depending on how you decide to go about
this. You can try to fight Metal Slug from far away with Terrestrial Machine
Gun and Grenades, along with SPECIAL MISSION: Double Machine Gun,
but you may not be able to deal enough damage within the time limit to
really win that way. If you go close, try using SPECIAL MISSION: Swing
Tomahawk the moment you get it (or when the opportunity arises) and
Stylish Moves 1-3 and 14 to win this one.
-Hanzo Hattori
This is a little hard, but not by much. You can easily escape lasers, but
they're really problematic when you're in the middle of Hanzo's Stylish
Moves, which are a must for him to survive and win. Forbidden Encompassing
Destruction is your only Super Special that'll even damage him, so use
that whenever you get it. Cicada Larva Slice and Flying Cicada Dance
are your best bet to escaping lasers if you're far away, but won't help
against the cannons. Stylish Moves 1-3 and 5-11 are your best bet to
hammering Metal Slug here.
-Hyena
Oh boy....this one's tough. Hyena Gyro helps to escape lasers and deal
damage, but not enough so in the damage department. Ignore all of
Hyena's Super Specials except for Hyena's Ultimate Event!, and focus
more on using Stylish Moves 1 and 4, and ignore everything else. You'll
have to get extremely lucky to win this one for sure.
-Iori Yagami
You'll most likely be spamming Blue Blossoms and Bloom of the Wolf
here, but you'll want to try and use Calamitious Zephyr to make Iori's
attacks faster than normal. If you step on a mine, immediately jump so
that Iori doesn't take any damage, and make him either Side Step or Super
Jump over the Metal Slug to avoid the lasers and cannon.
-Jivatma
Don't bother with any of Jivatma's Specials, and only use Hell's Standard
as his Super Special. You'll want to stick to Stylish Move to win this one,
but be careful! It'll be tough to win with Jivatma.
-K'
If only Chain Drive would work here.....oh well. For this one, try using
Heat Drive as your Super Special of choice, and use The Trigger to
Second Shell as your regular Special. Crow Bites helps tremendously
to escape the lasers. Stylish Moves 3, 4, 5, and 10 are your best bet
to win here.
-Kim
For Kim, ignore Phoenix Kick, Smothering Phoenix Kick, and Heavenly
Phoenix Dancing Stomp in favor of Phoenix Heaven Kick and Scorching
Flmae Attack. Stylish Moves 1-3 and 15 are the best way to get around
this, but you'll have to use either Side Step, Super Jump or Flying Kick
to avoid the lasers.
-Kula Diamond
MAX Diamond Edge is your weapon of choice, but Diamond Edge works
just as well. Try mixing in some Ray Spins and Stylish Moves 1-4 for the
best results.
-Kyo Kusanagi
The Wicked Chew combo is your best friend here, but don't neglect New
Wave Smash, as that can both damage the Metal Slug and get you away
from the lasers and possibly the cannon. Heavenly Force is what you'll
want to use as your Super Special Move.
-Kyo Kusanagi Classic
Don't try to play Kyo Classic like Kyo himself. He doesn't have nearly
half of what Kyo can do, so listen up! For Kyo Classic, try using
Nebulous Cyration for escaping lasers and damaging the Metal Slug
at the same time, and use Spontaneous Final Judgment for your Super
Special. Stylish Moves 1-6 are your bread and butter for surviving this
beast.
-Leona
This one's tricky. You'll want to avoid any of Leona's Super Specials aside
from V-Slasher. Most of Leona's Stylish Moves will work here, but you'll
want to make sure that some mines are cleared out before attempting them.
Grand Saber to Gliding Buster is nice and all, but don't use it that much.
You may be cutting it very close with Leona in this fight.
-Lien Neville
This one is probably another one of the hardest ones to win with, considering
that most of her moves are grappling, and some of them just won't work
here. You'll want to go for her Assault Type: Shaula combo, if you can,
and just stick to her Stylish Moves to survive this one. Side Step and
Super Jump are your only hope from the lasers.
-Lilly Kane
Do exactly what it says for Billy for Lilly.
-Luise Meyrink
Fanfare of Hope is your best bet for a Super Special, while Quartet of
Oblivion is your best choice for a Special. Requiem for a Moth is nice,
but it leaves you open to both lasers and the Metal Slug's cannon.
Don't bother too much with Luise's Stylish Moves, unless you know some
that won't take too much time or won't leave her open.
-Mr. Karate
Whiplash Bash and Shrike Gale are your two best weapons here. Only
use Ultimate Conquering Crunch as your Super Special, and go with just
those three alone. If you feel brave enough, go ahead and try to do some
Stylish Moves. It may not hurt you that much.
-Mai Shiranui
For Mai, use Flying Squirrel when a laser is about to connect to the ground,
or if you think the Metal Slug is about to fire its cannon at you. Otherwise,
stick to using only Stylish Move 6 and Phoenix Dance to win this one.
-Maxima
You'll be spending most of your time using the System 1-2: Maxima
Scramble combo, but also use Bunker Buster the moment you see the laser.
Shouldn't be too tough with Maxima.
-Mignon Beart
Here, you'll want to have Mignon focus on Stylish Moves while at the
same time using Meteo-Strike and Explosion. Heartful Present is only
useful if you aren't being tracked by lasers or being shot at by the Metal
Slug. You'll be cutting it close with Mignon here.
-Nagase
As with Hanzo, you'll be spending your time with Nagase's biggest
Stylish Moves. Don't bother with ANY of her Super Specials, as none of
them will matter here. You'll be cutting it very close in this one.
-Nightmare Geese
Deadly Rave rocks Metal Slug's world, but so doesn't Metal Slug's cannon
and lasers. Raising Storm is the better choice, unless you know you can
pull off all 10 hits of Deadly Rave without being interrupted. Evil Illusion
Slam and Whirlwind Slam are your choice for Specials here, while Stylish
Moves 1, 2, and 12 are your choice of weapons.
-Ninon Beart
Ninon should be played just like Mignon, except you'll want to use
The Silence of Mercurius or, better yet, Ebony Moon of Hecate as your
Super Specials.
-Ralf Jones
For Ralf, try tacking on numerous Vulcan Punches and Vicious Vulcan
Punches. Also, Galactica Phantom works well here. Ignore Ralf's Stylish
Moves, and just go for the gusto with these moves. Hopefully, that'll
be enough to suffice. If not, then try using Buffalo Ralf, Gatling Attack,
and Dive Bomber Bop with those moves.
-Richard Meyer
Just as with Geese, try using Richard's Wild Dance if you think you can
hit with all 10 hits. Otherwise, stick to Rolling Armadillo, Wild Fang, and
Rolling Tomahawk. Use all of Richard's Stylish Moves that DON'T make
him go into his Dragonfly stance.
-Rock Howard
Once again, use Neo Deadly Rave ONLY if you think you can hit with all
10 hits. Here, Neo Raging Storm and MAX Version Shining Knuckle are
your best bet as Super Specials, while Cyclone Punch and Rising Tackle,
along with Hard Edge and Dunking Rage Run, will be your Special choices.
For Stylish Moves, use only Stylish Move 1, 2, 3, or 7.
-Ryo Sakazaki
Try using Ryo like Mr. Karate, and use Whiplash Bash and Shrike Gale
as your Specials, while you use Conquering Crunch, Kyokugen Tiger
Blast, and Conqueror's Blast as your Super Specials. All of Ryo's
Stylish Moves work here, as long as you have enough sense to jump
when a mine is flashing red and to avoid lasers and Metal Slug's cannon.
-Seth
Seth is going to have a lot of problems here. If you're going to try and use
him, then try to use Floating Moon to Slide to Two-Fisted Rising Sun. Don't
count on Seth doing very much damage with any of his attacks, so if you're
planning on trying to win with Seth, you're going to have to give Metal
Slug your best shot with everything that Seth's got!
-Soiree Meira
Try using Soiree similar to Richard, if you've used Richard yet. Big
Mittwoch and Extreme Leidenschaft are what you want to aim for as
Super Specials, while anything else that DOESN'T go into Capricious
Style works fine.
-Terry Bogard
Buster Wolf, Triple Geyser, Burning Knuckle, Rising Tackle, and Power
Dunk are all you really need to win with Terry. However, try using what
Stylish Moves don't have lag time on them to deal even more damage. You
may cut it close with Terry here, so don't be surprised if you end up losing
with him.
-Wild Wolf
Play Wild Wolf the same way that you'd play Terry.
-Yuri Sakazaki
Yuri has problems beating the Metal Slug, as her attacks don't deal enough
damage, and she takes a crapload of damage. Don't bother with her Yuri
Super Upper combo, and instead go with Hardcore Super Upper and Stylish
Moves. Conquering Crunch is nice, as long as you're not in the way of
Metal Slug's cannon or lasers.
