FIRST OF ALL SORRY ABOUT MY EXPRESION (I am a Spanish boy). This is a basic faq for combos or stranges combinations. I know that it isn´t a master faq, but I think it´s enough good for iniciating at this game. Thanks to everybody that have played vs me for being there to get this faq (especialty to ACE). And thanks to SNK for doing this wonderfull fighting game. Dedicated to my brother,Luisfer,wherever you were. This faq is done by MGA (Miguel@anit.es). Garou mark of the wolves is a SNK game and he has all the copyrights propieties. Sorry if I confuse in writing,for instance qcf instead of qfc. *This faq is composed by: -Basic combos (4 per character) -Advanced & Expert combos -Other things(like infinite combos, combos that can work, advices for doing combos, etc.) -Petitions BASIC AND ADVANCED COMBOS FOR PLAYING: I´ve get all this combos by playing and playing and playing (and somethimes trying new things). It´s true that I´ve seen another faqs to view all the moves (not the combos) but I don´t want to keep anybody the merit of their faqs. This is only a faq of combos. Remember not to confuse d(down) with D(button D) and b(back) with B(button B).Here we go!: 1)4 Basic combos/player for the first time: If you have played Garou more than 2 times with each character, I´ll recommend you to go to the advanced combos.

Now we can go to more serious things. | \===========================================================================================/ 2)ADVANCED & EXPERT COMBOS: This part is planted diferent than the first one. I have done a scheme of advanced combos. Some of this combos request having the Potencial power charged. Of course there are more advanced combos than I have put here, but I played with some characters more than whit others,and some combos aren´t so effectives or interestings than others. I repeat that all the combos that are here down have been done at least one time by me. *****MARCO RODRIGUEZ***** {Good scheme for a good character} (f,d,df+C) {I call it 'Double Ko Hou'} / / qcfX2+D {beautifull, efective & very difficult} / / (f,d,df+C)(Breaked by A+B)----qcf+B (f,d,df+C) / \ \ / / \ C+D{T.O.P}--qcfX2+D / \ / \ qcfX2+C / \ / Jump+C--C--C+D{request T.O.P.} --------- \ \ \ qcfX2+D \ \ qcfX3+C {Pressing C more than 10 times the combo changes and do more dmg.} \ / ------qcfX2+C \ qcfX2+D *****ROCK HOWARD***** {I don´t play a lot whit him} Jump+C---C--C+D{T.O.P} \ \ qcfX2+C \ / ------qcfX2+D \ (f,df,d,db,b,f+A,A,A,B,B,C,C,D,D,qcb+C) {that´s a secret Potencial power} qcfX2+C {Don´t hold it} / Being cornered:360'+C(breaked by A+B)--qcb+B---qcfx2+D {Carrefull whit the side change} |\ | qcfx2+D {Carrefull with the moment to do} \ \ C+D{T.O.P}-- {it´s not obligatory to be cornered} *****TERRY BOGARD***** {I don´t like much this guy (excuse me his fans), so the scheme is very short} (f,d,df+D)(Breaked by A+B)--qcfX2+C / \ / \ Jump+C---C---C+D{T.O.P} qcfX2+D \ \ qcfX2+C \ / -- \ qcfX2+D *****KIM DONG HWANG***** {I have get a lot of combos of Dong Hwang.

I will continue trying news. / =============================================================================================== 3)OTHER THINGS: In this part I will write other combos that can work, or anothers that I read and can´t get it yet (I think they have something wrong), or some advices to get easier the advanced combos. Also I have discover one of the game´s infinite combos (surely that they are more). A) HOW ABOUT AN INFINITE COMBO? This is an infinite combo of Grant (yes, I know that is difficult to get Grant, but this combo is much more). For this combo you need to have the opponent on a corner. Grant have a move (f+C) that is called Ma-Heki.This moves can be canceled (breaked) by a Feint move (f+A+C).So the combo consists in doing: f+C(Break by f+A+C),f+C(Break by f+A+C),f+C(f+A+C),f+C(f+A+C),...etc. It´s very, very difficult to do (I can only do 4 moves of the combo), because you have to calculate the time to hit him in an exactly moment.But if someone is a Great Master of Garou can try to do it. GOOD LUCK and report me if you get it! A2) AND HOW ABOUT AN EASIER INFINITE COMBO? Oh my god!. I´ve discover an easier infinite combo for Grant than the last one. You only have to do, in a corner: f+C,qcf+D,f+C,qcf+D,f+C,qcf+D,f+C,qcf+D,f+C,qcf+D,...etc. Easier, eh? Doing this combos I´ve hit the enemy by 35 times, but it´s enough with 10 hits to kill the opponent. Note:This combo will not work if you change qcf+D with qcf+B. B) SOME OTHER COMBOS: Here are other combos that can work, or combos that I read that work,but Idon´t do it yet `cause I don´t much time to dedicate to this game. I have tried some of these, but I think they have something wrong, or They are too difficult for me, or something like that. Here are: GATO:Jump D, Dwn + A+B, QCB + B, Dwn C, QCFx2 + C KIM DONG HWANG:stand D cancelled into Fwd A+C, Jump A, QCFx2+A, QCFx2+A, DP + C TERRY: Fwd Fwd C, 3 feint cancelled stand Cs followed by a low C into QCFx2 + C! BUSTER WOLF! C) ADVICES FOR DOING EASIER THE ADVANCED COMBOS: -If you have to do (f,d,df+some button), try to the move before this one whit forward, and you only have to do qcf+button. For instance: a)...--C--(f,d,df+D)--... I recommend to do like: ...--f+C--qcf+D--... b)...--f+C--(f,d,df+C)--... like: ...--f+C--qcf+C--... -When you want to do a combo taht you need to break a move, I recommend to practice the specific breakable move breaking it before the combo, because all the characters have differente way for breaking his move (changing the time to break). Also be carrefull, because some of chars need to break very quickly his move, and others not. -When you have to calculate the time to do a determinated combo, you can do another hit that doesn´t hit the opponent but it limits you the time you have to wait for doing correctly the combo. For instance: When we want to do the combo of D. HWANG that finished: qcf+D--qcfX3+C we have to wait a bit of time to do the last move, or we´ll passed under the opponent, so what I do is: After qcf+D I do C fastly. This move don´t hit him, but if I do qcfx3+C after the last move, the combo always work. -If you have to do a combo that consist in Hold d,u+Button--Hold b+f+Button (as Kain combos) you can use one trick that I use: Hold db intead of hold d, and do u+Button--b,f+Button (without holding aby button the second time). I Know it´s difficult, but by the other way form is more difficult. You can invent some 'tricks' like those one to do easier the combo. /=============================================================================================\ | I think they are a good advices. Let´s go to the petitions | \=============================================================================================/ 4)PETITIONS: I only beg one thing: If you are going to use a part of this faq to do another one, please send me an E-mail(miguel@anit.es) to beg a permit to use that part of my faq (I will concede it with pleasure) or write in your faq that you have used one part of mine, because I´ve seen some faqs that have something exactly copied (without any change) from others. =============================================================================================== / Here finished all I remember about doing Garou combos. I will continue working on getting some\ \ new combos and doing new faqs.Thanks to all that have read this faq & sorry about my expession/ =============================================================================================== ENJOY THE GAME & THANK YOU ___________ _______ ________ __ | | | | | |\ | | \ | | | | | | \ | | \ | | | | | | \ | | \ * | | | | | | \ | | \ * *** | |______| |___ |___ | \ | | | *** * | | | | | | \ | | / * | | | | | | \ | | / | | | | | | \ | | / | | | |_______ |________ | \| |__/ ______________________________________________________________________
