Version 1.01 - Added four combos and made some corrections Version 1.1 - Added one 100% combo,added Frequently Asked Questions and made some corrections. --Purpose of this FAQ/Guide-- The purpose of this FAQ/Guide is to show you what Rugal really is capable of. He might have some advantages over the playable characters,and therefore is considered very cheap.If you play cheap against the computer nobody will care, but do not play cheap against human players or you might get into a real one-on-one. --Rugal Bernstein's Profile-- Fighting Style: Mixture of Geese's and Wolfgang's fighting styles Birth date: February 10 Age: Unknown Birthplace: Unknown Blood Type: Unknown Height: 1.97cm Weight: 103kg Hobby: Finding ways to ressurect himself Favorite Food: None Best Sport: He is good at everything Prized Things: His evil heart Dislikes: Justice --How do I use him?-- Well,he is only playable on the home version of the game.To select him place the cursor on Yashiro and press left or place the cursor on Vice and press up or place the cursor on Goro Daimon and press down.Most likely,you will not be able to select him in your Arcades since he has a lot of advantages over the playable characters in King of Fighter 2002. --Legend-- f-forward A - Weak Punch b-back d-down B - Weak Kick u-up DP-forward,down and down-front(Dragon Punch Motion) QCF-quarter circle forward C - Heavy Punch QCB-quater circle back HCF-half circle forward D - Heavy Kick HCB-half circle back --Rugal Bernestein's move list-- ==================Throws======================================== SCORPION DEATHLOCK When close to oponent, b/f + C Comments:None SCORPION BLOW When close to oponent, b/f + D Comments:None ==============Command Moves===================================== DOUBLE TOMAHAWK f + B Comments:This move is an axe kick that does two hits. ==============Special Moves===================================== REPPUKEN QCF + A/C Comments:This move is a ground projectile.The A version travels slower where the C version travels faster. GOD PRESS HCB + A/C Comments:The C version of the move reaches the whole screen.Try to avoid using this move because it has a nasty recovery after it,and there are better moves to choose from him. KAISER WAVE f,HCF + A/C Comments:This projectile move is very quick.It also negates every other projectile in the game.Use this move a lot to get a quick and easy win. DIVINE ARROW Hold A/C for one second during Kaiser Wave, then release Comments:This move travels very quick just like the Kaiser Wave and looks similar to Igniz's projectile in King of Fighters 2001. It also will negate projectiles GRAVITY SMASH Hold A/C for two to three seconds during Kaiser Wave Comments:You don't necessarly need to relase A/C because he will fire the projetcile out by himself.This move travels very fast and is unblockable. It also negates projectiles just like the Kaiser Wave and Divine Arrow. GENOCIDE CUTTER DP + B/D Comments:This is the move you probably all know.It's just excellent against anti-air.It does great damage and has priority over alomost all the moves. DARK BARRIER QCF + B/D Comments:This move reflects projectiles. Meaning,when people fireball at you,this move will reflect the projectile back at the opponent causing damage to him/her. BEADS DESTRUCTION HCB + B/D Comments:Two kicks that hit you,and the third kick,the last one,that juggles you; but if you decide to perform this move with the D version, you won't be able to start any jugglers because he juggles the opponent by himself with a short punch. This makes it impossible for you start any jugglers.See combo section. ===========Desperation Moves==================================== GIGANTIC PRESSURE QCF,HCB + A/C Comments:It's basically a God Press that does more damage. DESTRUCTION OMEGA QCF,QCF + B/D Comments:You must perform this move next to the opponent in order to connect.If you connect and he grabs the opponent,he will do a 8 hit combo ending it with the B version of the Genocide Cutter.The damage is better than from Gigantic Pressure. ==========Super Desperation Moves=============================== GIGANTIC PRESSURE QCF,HCB + AC Comments:He performs two Gigantic Pressures that do good damage. DESTRUCTION OMEGA QCF,QCF + BD Comments:Just like the Desperation Move,you need to be close to the opponent to connect.This move does even more damage than Goro's HSDM.It does 15 hits ending it with the B version of the Genocide Cutter. ======Hidden Super Desperation Move============================= KAISER PHOENIX HCF,HCF + AC Comments:He shoots out the three versions of the Kaiser Waves randomly. When he shoots out the Gravity Smash it's unblockable.The bad thing about this move is that all of the Kaiser Waves knock the oponent down,so at least two to three of them will miss,and some of them will be blocked.But sometimes,some of the Kaiser Waves will juggle your opponent for three to four hits. --Cancels-- =================Normals======================================== Standing A Standing B Standing C Standing D Comments:None Comments:None Comments:On Comments:Only on either hit. first hit. Crouching A Standing B Crouching C Crouching D Comments:None Comments:Cannot Comments:None Comments:None be canceled =============Command Cancels==================================== Double Tomahawk Comments:Only on first hit. But it's also possible to cancel out of it. ==========Super Cancelable Moves================================ Unknown(Possibly None) Comments:None --Combos-- ==============Notations========================================= St. - Standing Cr. - Crouching --> - Cancel Into Note:The Beads Destruction must be performed with the B Version only! 1.Beads Destruction --> God Press Comments:Very easy to do,especially in the corner. Damage:35%-40% 2.St.C --> Genocide Cutter C Vers. Comments:Looks very easy,doesn't it?Stand close to opponent. Damage:45%-50% 3.Cr.B --> St.B --> Double Tomahawk(First Hit) --> Genocide Cutter D Vers. Comments:This is a combo you should do when you are in the crouching position.You can perform it anywhere but I recommend in the corner. Damage:55%-60% 4.Beads Destruction --> Gigantic Pressure(DM) Comments:Very easy to perfrom. Damage:60%-65% 5.Beads Destruction --> Gigantic Pressure(SDM) Before you do the Beads Destruction make sure you activate Max Mode. Wait a little bit until the opponent gets down from the Beads Destruction so it connects.This combo,I don't really recommend you do because the Destruction Omega DM does even more damage,and I don't have to mention the Destruction Omega SDM. Damage:70%-75% 6.Beads Destruction --> Genocide Cutter B Vers.--> Genocide Cutter D Vers. Comments:Do not perform the Beads Destruction close to the opponent because the Genocide Cutters will have difficulties to connect. Besides that,it's an easy combo. Damage:70%-75% 7.Beads Destruction --> Destruction Omega(DM) Comments:When you juggle the opponent with the Beads Destruction wait a little bit until he/she gets down so the Destruction Omega connects.This combo is rather a little bit harder than the ones above. Damage:75%-80% 8.Beads Destruction --> Destruction Omega(SDM) Comments:Activate Max Mode before you excecute the Beads Destruction. Then again,make sure you wait a little bit until the opponent gets down so the Destruction Omega connects.Damage will be very high on this combo. Damage:90%-95% 9.Reppuken --> Beads Destruction --> Destruction Omega(SDM) (Corner) Comments:This combo works ONLY in the corner.Activate Max Mode before you do the Reppuken.The damage will be very high. Damage:95%-100% 10.St.C --> Beads Destruction --> Destruction Omega(SDM) Comments:You probably guessed it right.This is obviously a 100% combo. Activate Max Mode before you do the St.C and stand close for the St.C. If you mastered all the combos above you won't have troubles with this one. Damage:100% 11.Double Tomahawk --> Reppuken --> Cr.A --> Double Tomahawk --> Reppuken --> Cr.A --> Double Tomahawk --> Reppuken --> Cr.A --> Double Tomahwak --> Beads Destruction --> Destruction Omega (Corner) Comments:CANCEL all the moves from the Double Tomahawk ON THE FIRST HIT! Now I know you're like O_O.Hey,go to Practice Mode and practice it. Actually,this is a video that I downloaded from a Chinese site,or was it a Japanese one? Anyway,the link to it is down,so I won't even bother posting it. Damage:100% --General Strategy-- It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to use him.Use the Genocide Cutter a lot because it does great damage,use all the three versions of the Kaiser Waves because they travel fast and negate the opponent's projectiles,and because I wrote this FAQ/Guide,use the combos I listed above.Now you should be unbeatable.^_^ --Rugal Bernstein's Winning Quotes-- Generic - Done your packing?

A:Probably not.Simply because he is too powerful for the playable characters, and if he was selectable everybody would use him. Q:About his HSDM,how many Kaiser Waves does he shoot out? A:12 Kaiser Waves.Sometimes for some silly reasons he stops at 5 Kaiser Waves.I really don't know the reason,if you know e-mail me.I'll give you credit in the next update/version. Q:Could you post the link for the ROM of this game please? A:No,I can't and I won't.You can e-mail me,but I cannot guarantee you that I will e-mail you back because there are sometimes too much people asking me for it. Q:I'm using WinKawaks,how do I map some of his moves to a key? A:I will not explain this to you step by step since there's a FAQ for WinKawaks(Not written by me).I will give you the macros only. Reppuken - D,DL,L1 or 3 Genocide Cutter - L,D,DL2 or 4 Gigantic Pressure(DM) - D,DL,L,DL,D,DR,R,1 or 3 Gigantic Pressure(SDM) - D,DL,L,DL,D,DR,R,13 Omega Destruction(DM) - D,DL,L,D,DL,L2 or 4 Omega Destruction(SDM) - D,DL,L,D,DL,L24 Kasier Phoenix - R,DR,D,DL,L,R,DR,D,DL,L13 What I mean by this D,DL,L1 or 3 is that you can either leave it like this D,DL,L1(Reppuken A vers.) or you can change it to D,DL,L3(Reppuken C Vers.). These macros will probably only work if you are on the left side of the screen in this game,because if you are on the right the side,the keys are reversed(D,DL,L1 on the left becomes D,DR,R1 on the right side).WinKawaks should realize this(In some games that I played it did) but in this game it doesn't realize it for a strange reason. --Conclusion-- What to say? Every King of Fighters' boss is overpowered and so is Rugal in King of Fighters 2002.Use him just to have fun kicking the computer's ass.
