From: lordbbh@aol.com (Lord BBH) Newsgroups: rec.games.video.arcade Subject: Re: ===KOF'95 Combo FAQ is where?=== Date: 23 Feb 1996 02:58:08 -0500 I'm the compiler of the Combo FAQ. Here's the latest version... (insert fancy ASCII right here) The Unofficial King of Fighters '95 Combo List Compiled by BBH Version 2.0 REVISION HISTORY 2.0 (February 3rd, 1996) - Some more combos in, and now damage levels for combos at MAX level are in. 1.5 (January 20th, 1996) - A few modified combos, and added in a symbol to show if the combo will dizzy or not. 1.0 (January 14th, 1996) - First "Official" release. Onaje Everett helped correct a lot of things... thanx! Damage levels for main combos added. Dodge and projectile combos added, as well as standing far interruptable moves. 0.1 (January 6th, 1996) - First version. Some combos missing, not all combos confirmed. Damage levels and dodge combos not in yet. INTRODUCTION Welcome to the unofficial combo guide for what is (in my opinion) the best fighting game ever, King of Fighters '95 by SNK! It can be played at an arcade near you (hopefully), or on the Neo-Geo home cartridge or CD systems. Why a combo guide? Why not? :) Seeing how there's already a great, well- written FAQ by Joseph G. Palanca out for it, I wanted to write something, but I wasn't sure what. But this has a purpose besides the "main" combos, it provides a rough amount of damage that each combo does, as well as which dodge combos will actually connect, and which normal moves can be interrupted into another special move, though not necessarily combo. Also included are projectile combos, which is following in a porjectile with another special move and comboing the hits. I personally verify every combo and I have done each and every one that is in this guide. Everything is possible, if you are having problems doing a specific combo, practice until you get it. The problem might be in doing a special move motion, work on getting the motion down so that it will come out as fast as possible. Each combo is unblockable once the first hit is landed. Also note that not all the combos can be done when the Power Bar is at Maximum. When the Power Bar is at Maximum, your hits will knock the opponent farther back, and so all combos can not be done then. Every one of these combos will work on an unfilled bar, although there are some Desperation Combos that can only be done when the life bar is red, though they might work if the Power Bar is at Max instead. The combos that do work when the bar is filled are marked though. In just about every instance, a combo can still be done by leaving out a hit in the combo, such as the jumping attacks. But this brings down the number of hits and its damage level, but it's still a combo. This guide pretty much shows you which combos you can do for the most hits and damage. Feedback, comments, and criticisms are all welcome. And of course, should I be missing anything (which I probably am, this is a deep game) feel free to email it to me at either lordbbh@aol.com or kensou@aol.com. NOTATION d = down u = up b = back f = forward df = down-forward db = down-back uf = up-forward ub = up-back A = A button B = B button C = C button D = D button AB = A and B together CD = C and D together etc. A/C = A or C B/D = B or C etc. tap = Tap the button until the move comes out, must be done fast charge = Charge the direction for a couple seconds, then push the other direction specified + = Means it's possible to get more hits, the number given is just a minimum, or in some cases it means that a bunch of hits are automatically counted. * = Desperation Combo. Life meter must be flashing red for the combo to work. @ = Dizzy combo. USUALLY (for some reason it won't happen every time...) will end up dizzying the opponent and set them up for some more punishment. # = This means that the combo will work when the power bar is at MAX, but instead of a normal jumping attack, you must start it with a crossup instead. MAIN COMBOS All damage levels are used assuming the character is NOT powered up. If they are, the damage might increase, but by the same token, the combo might not be possible since your hits knock them further back. That being said, on to the characters!

All C+D attacks can be interrupted too, and Joe Higashi, Ralf, Clark, Chang Koehan, and Billy Kane can interrupt any normal move with their rapid button press moves.

If the projectile hits, the special move will connect too for bonus damage. If the projectile is blocked, the special move will most likely be blocked. Some must be done from certain distances. (far) - Means must be done from full-screen, or close to that. (3/4) - Means it must be done around three-fourths of the screen away. (1/2) - Means it must be done from somewhere near half the screen away. All projectiles are slow ones. Oh yes, the opponent must be in the corner too... there are some exceptions, but in most cases, you NEED them in the corner. Kyo Kusanagi - Fireball followed by.....
