============================================================================
CART/CD OPTIONS :
Survivor Mode :
Select one character and take on all tournament characters. Race to
defeat all characters in the fastest time possible. The shorter the
clear time, the more points you get (CPU battle).
Play Time :
Set the match times for five different settings (1 slowest, 5
fastest)
Stage Select :
You can enter 2-player competition on any game stage.
Demo :
You can see the Kagura/Goenitz Intermissions and Endings of Teams
with which you've beaten the game without losing on level 3 or
higher.
Note : The endings in the cart have some extra frames in them. In the CD
version, there are some frames missing...go figure...
============================================================================
BOSS CODE :
Arcade/Cart -> The only known way to play as the bosses is to change the dip
switches (for a cart, this means having a modified system). See
below.
CD Code -> Press and Hold Start, then press Up + B, Right + C, Left + A, and
Down + D
============================================================================
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS :
1-1 Sprite Debug: This one lets you examine all of the specific
animations for any given character. You have to hold down
start to control anything about the sprite onscreen. The setup
is like this:
Joystick - controls placement onscreen
A - cycles to next animation routine
B - cycles to previous animation routine
C - next character
D - previous character
The palette is locked down to that of player 1.
1-2 Coordinate Frames: During play, you will see little "frames" around
the characters. These dictate the characters' "hit areas," and
is actually pretty useful for getting down a character's range.
1-3 Stop Timer: Self-explanatory, but also leaves some funky hex
coordinates just above the power meters. BIG BONUS! Activates the
boss code if turned on before the character select screen appears.
2-2 Data Menu: This one's FUN. With some REALLY minor tinkering, you can
COMPLETELY change how player 1 moves. Word of warning... do NOT
choose "SAVE DATA" or "LOAD DATA" from the menu. It will corrupt
your card and you'll have to reformat it.
1-5 Debug Info: Just a bunch of coordinates in hexadecimal below the life
meters. I can't figure out what purpose it serves, if any.
1-6 Stuck in the Red: Both characters are invulnerable, but are treated
as if their life meters are in the red. Ie. supers can be done at
any time, without charging up. If you charge up to do a super, you'll
get the SDM.
1-7 Nothing (?)
1-8 Glitch: Weird shadows over the whole screen.
2-1 Edit Menu II: More editable parameters, but I haven't finished playing
with this one. I did notice there's one option for adjusting the AI.
2-2 CPU Takes Over: The CPU takes control of human-controlled characters.
2-3 Human Invulnerability: You're invincible, the CPU is not. 'Nuff said.
2-4 Nothing (?)
2-5 Frame Information: A column of hex coordinates for every action that
the computer takes. Very strange.
2-6 Menu: No idea, wasn't able to do anything with it.
2-7 Control CPU: Turn this on when fighting the CPU and suddenly the 2P
controller can control the CPU. This is a bit odd, as the damage
P1 inflicts on P2 will show up on P1s life meter. Also, charging up
raises your opponents power meter, but actually reflects your own
power. Kind of interesting, but not too useful.
2-8 Nothing (?)
============================================================================
BASIC PLAYER MOVEMENT :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key :
u = Up, d = Down, l = Left, r = Right, f = Forward, b = Back
A = A button, B = B button, C = C button, D = D button
P = Punch, K = Kick, A/B = A or B, B*B = B then B again
x2 = do movement twice, AB = A & B together, ! = POW special
QCF = quarter circle forward, QCB = quarter circle back
HCF = half circle forward, HCB = half circle back
jump = jump then perform move
close = must be close to opponent
hold = charge for two seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Movements :
CD = Knockdown blow
ABC = Charge up
AB = Roll backward
f + AB = Roll forward
AB while blocking & in MAX = Roll backward
f + AB while blocking & in MAX = Roll forward
AB when knocked down = Instant recovery...roll backwards
AB or d + A/B when being thrown = Hold break (against normal throws)
f, f = Dash forward (hold to keep going)
b, b = Defensive evasion
f, f, ub, f/df = Run back (hold to keep going)
Jump while dashing or QCFuf or QCBub = Hyper Jump
tap d then u = Hyper Jump
hold u = Normal Jump
tap u = Hop
d, tap u or dash, tap u = Hyper Hop
AB after air block = reverse jump back to original position
hold bk while jumping = air block
BC = taunt
d + ABC = Team Assist
bk + AB = instant recovery from taunt
ABCD = cancel for moves that are noted below
After a certain amount of attacks to a blocking enemy will result in
a guard crush
BCD = Dodge (for Goro & Clark only)
There is a rumored dodge that may just be a glitch in certain versions, that
if you hold down-back and AB at the right moment, fireballs will go
through your character. The character doesn't actually dodge, but
the fireballs pass through harmlessly. Hasn't been tried with other
attacks yet.
Some moves, such as Chan's Breaking Iron Ball and Kasumi's Snow Peak Punch
have an autoguard.
Characters with Triangle Jump : Mai Shiranui, Athena Asamiya, Choi Bounge
Multi-hit moves :
Normal punches, kicks, and CD attacks can be made into multiple hit
moves by cancelling them into special attacks. This can be done at
anytime. (i.e. Do the following : d, neutral, CD, HCF + C, repeat
HCF + C continuously)
