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) ============================================================================ TEAMS AND THEIR SPECIAL MOVES : CHARACTER INFO : Name of Character Quotable description (from manual) Style of Fighting 1st Round Opening Pose (not all characters have this) Opening Pose Opening Pose vs. certain characters (not all characters have this) Taunt Pose First Round Win Pose Second Round Win Pose Third Round Win Pose Pose when Loss due to time Pose when Draw (if fighter is still standing; if none, it's same as Loss to time pose) Pose when character is left alone (not all characters have this) Sayings after fight's over Example Combo to try Possible Bug or Interesting Move Note (not all characters have this) Move List Japanese Name (English Name) - How to perform move Note : All POW special moves that use the QCB, HCF motion can be done with HCF x2. The same goes for QCF, HCB. They can be done with HCB x2. They can also be reduced to d, HCF/HCB motions. +++JAPAN'S STRONGEST FIGHTERS+(Hero Team)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ * KYO KUSANAGI * "The Burning Young Noble" Style : Magatama Opening : Raises hand, brings it down and says, "Ikuze!"

THE STORY IS ABOUT TO END HERE...AN END UNSEEN...THE FINAL CURTAIN. *Goenitz raises a hand and disappears in a burst of wind* *Screens darkens showing the following text* [SNK] GOENTIZ DISAPPEARED ALONG WITH THE WIND. AND ALL FREED FROM HIS SPELL, EACH WENT BACK TO SEARCHING FOR THEIR OWN DESTINIES. *Image of Kagura* [KAGURA] THE WIND...IT'S STOPPED! THANK YOU, SIS! NOW YOU CAN REST IN PEACE. -= KAGURA/KYO/IORI =- *After defeating the Boss team* *A Kagura replica appears* [REPLICA] CONGRATULATIONS. A WONDERFUL MATCH. [KYO] HUH? [REPLICA] I'M THE ONE HOLDING THIS TOURNAMENT. IT'S TOO BAD. I THOUGHT I'D SEE THE POWER THAT DSTROYED RUGAL! [KYO] WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS A JOKE, KAGURA? [IORI] ...? [KAGURA] I DON'T KNOW. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE! [KYO] WHO ARE YOU? *Kagura replica changes power up* [REPLICA] MY NAME IS KAGURA. THE GUARDIAN. [KYO] THE GUARDIAN? [REPLICA] I WANT TO SEE YOUR TRUE POWER. BUT IF YOU'VE DONE YOUR BEST, WE'LL PART COMPANY NOW. WHAT DO YOU SAY? *After defeating Kagura replica* [REPLICA] I THOUGHT SO. YOU'RE MY SISTER. CHIZURU, YOU MUST LEAD KUSANAGI AND YAGAMI. *Kagura replica disappears* [KYO] WHAT'S GOING ON? WHO WAS SHE? [KAGURA] SHE WAS MY DEAD SISTER. WE ONCE PROTECTED THE OROCHI POWER TOGETHER, UNTIL... [KYO] SO WHY DID SHE FIGHT WITH US? WHAT WAS THE POINT? [KAGURA] SHE WAS TESTING US TO SEE IF WE ARE WORTHY OF DEFEATING THE OROCHI POWER. [KYO] THE OROCHI POWER? [KAGURA] YES, RUGAL TRIED TO SEIZE IT BUT FAILED. OUR STRENGTH IS NEEDED TO IT OFF FOR GOOD. [IORI] OH, BROTHER! [KAGURA] WE HAVE LITTLE TIME. I FEEL HE'S COMING. [KYO] WHO'S COMING? [KAGURA] THE ONE WHO TOOK RUGAL'S RIGHT EYE, BROKE THE SEAL AND KILLED MY SISTER! [KYO] WHAT? THIS WIND...WAAAH! *Very strong wind blows* [KYO] WHAT HAPPENED? *A shadow appears* [GOENITZ] AS I THOUGHT, NO MORE THAN A FEW FLIES IN MY WEB. [IORI] WHO IS HE? *Wind blows again revealing Goenitz* [GOENITZ] AT LAST I FOUND YOU, KAGURA! SO YOU PLAN TO SEAL OFF THE OROCHI POWER WITH THESE DWEEBS? I'LL GIVE YOU A CHOICE: DIE WHILE FIGHTING OR BE KILLED QUICKLY! [KAGURA] THAT'S SOME CHOICE, UGLY! [KYO] THE ANSWER TO BOTH IS, NO! YOU'RE WORN-MEAT, GOENITZ! *Goenitz eyes changes* [GOENITZ] HAH! NONSENSE! *After defeating Goenitz* [GOENITZ] I GUESS I UNDERESTIMATED YOU. I NEVER THOUGHT...BUT THIS ISN'T THE END FOR YOU. [IORI] HAH! [KYO] EAT THIS, PAL! *Kyo and Iori finish Goenitz off* [GOENITZ] GYAAAH! WHY? WHY IS THERE NO WIND? GYAAAAAH! *Goenitz vanishes* [IORI] WOW! I NORMALLY DON'T BLAST CRIMSON FLAMES! WILD! [KAGURA] KUSANAGI DEFEATS. YAGAMI DISPOSES. YOU HAVE RELIVED THE EVENTS THE 1800 YEARS BEFORE! THE EVIL SERPENT HAS BEEN SEALED OFF BY THE CRIMSON FLAMES OF YAGAMI, DEFEATED BY KUSANAGI! THE CRIMSON FLAME OF YAGAMI CAME FROM A PART OF YOUR LONG-REPRESSED TRUE ESSENCE. [IORI] NONSENSE! I DON'T BUY THAT FREUDIAN GARBAGE! [KAGURA] THE BLUE FLAMES YOU CONTROL COME FROM THE OROCHI POWER FLOWING WITHIN YOU. THE REASON FOR YOUR BLOODLINE'S SHORT LIFE IS THIS OROCHI POWER. IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE THAT POWER, YOU, TOO, WILL... [IORI] DIE? WHO, ME? I'M YAGAMI! HUH? *Suddenly there's blood on Iori's eyes* [IORI] GAH! DOWAAAAH! [KAGURA] GET A GRIP, YAGAMI! THE KUSANAGI-YAGAMI FEUD IS POINTLESS. GIVE IT UP AND DESTROY THE OROCHI POWER WITH KYO KUSANAGI! WE NEED YOUR STRENGTH. [IORI] SHUT UP! I LIVE ACCORDING TO MY WILL. NO ONE ORDERS ME AROUND! [KAGURA] ARE YOU THE SAME, KYO? [KYO] HMMM. THE BATTLE IS NOT BETWEEN THE KUSANAGIS AND YAGAMIS. IT'S BETWEEN HIM AND ME. I KNOW NOTHING OF THE PAST. IF THE OROCHI APPEARS BEFORE YAGAMI, HE WILL DESTROY IT. IF THE OROCHI APPEARS BEFORE ME, I'LL DESTROY IT TOO. SO LONG. *Kyo and Iori walk off in opposite directions* [KAGURA] KUSANAGI, WE HAVE WATCHED YOUR BATTLE OVER THE YEARS. WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO FAVOR ONE OVER THE OTHER. WE KNOW THIS BATTLE IS INEVITABLY SENSELESS. YAGAMI, YOU, TOO, WILL SOMEDAY REALIZE THIS! AND YOU, KUSANAGI...YOU ARE DESTINED TO FACE THE SAME FATE!
