Hidden Characters 3.0
^^|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|^^
~~~
Dan 3.1
~~~
Name: Dan
Counter Pattern: RRRRRR
RRRRRR
RRRRRR
RRRRRR
Pros: He is the optimal character to practice your power gems against.
Cons: When playing as him you deliver big packages of reds for power gems.
Win Quotes: "Amateur! Go home and practice Dragon Punches."
"I'm going to make you cry like I did when my daddy died!"
"I thought I taught you well! You know nothing! Dummy!"
"Yeah! I'm the strongest there is! Just don't tell Sagat..."
Player Skill: Anybody who wants a *HUGE* challenge.
Extra Note: Play against him if you want a huge power gem.
~~~~~
Akuma 3.2
~~~~~
Name: Akuma
Counter Pattern: RYBGRY
YBGRYB
BGRYBG
GRYBGR
Pros: His attack pattern is hard to setup chains against.
Cons: If you use a Diamond and his diagonal pattern is penetrated, and
his attack is crippled. (See Note)
Win Quotes: "I am Akuma! Also the master puzzler!"
"Evil is what I am. Death is what I bring."
"You are a pathetic example of carbon based wastage!"
"To beat you is not enough, I must destroy you!"
Player Skill: Expert
Extra Note: I say the best level of player to use Akuma is an expert
because he has to first be unlocked which requires at least a Normal
player and he is best used by an expert. He only does 1/2-2/3 of normal
attacks so he is weakened down to make his less powered.
~~~~~~~
Devilot 3.3
~~~~~~~
Name: Devilot
Counter Pattern: YRGBYR
BYRGBY
GBYRGB
RGBYRG
Pros: She has the best attack pattern.
Cons: She also has a crippled attack, I like Akuma better though.
Win Quotes: "Don't you recognize me? Cyberbots is Capcom's 1 game."
"I know you want me, but can you handle it?"
"Let the gems hold you as I plan for your death."
"You've been very bad. Now off to the gas chamber."
Player Skill: Normal-Expert
Extra Note: She has the best attack pattern, yes better than Akuma,
because even though her attack pattern is just switched her counter
pattern is harder to penetrate and Diamond Gems are not as effective as
they are on Akuma.
I say she is Normal-Expert because even the people who have played for
about 4-10 hours can be good with her, and Expert just know how to use
her in a better way.

Notes 4.0

Notes/Strats/Ect 4.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stratagies:
I always like to stack the blocks on the left hand side of the screen and
then switch stacking sides to unleash chains of weak attacks and when I
get a Diamond Gem. After I get the Diamond gem I look around and estimate
which block I have the most of, the mass destruction of blocks will often
trigger chains which will dramatically increase your chances of winning.
On "Easy" mode you will have to fight three opponents, the strategy I
recommend is building up power blocks and using crash gems on the rest
of the blocks. When using this strategy I recommend dropping the blocks
at a faster pace than your opponent so you can get little combos to add up
because the opponents do not push the blocks down as fast as possible so
you can add up small blocks to make medium-large combos.
On "Normal" and "Hard" mode you can use my strategy that I mostly use.
If you have any other good strategies contact me and I will put them up
if I see they are worthy of using, this of course gets you credit in this
guide.
Notes:
Diamond Gem Damage-
Usually the Counter Gems are worth less than one ~0.5, but all other gems
are worth 1, non-differential if they are regular, crash, or power gems.
For example, if you have a 3x3 Power Gem you should save it for a crash
gem because it will give you an attack of ~22 in comparison to a weak 9 if
the power gem is destroyed with the use of a Diamond Gem.
