(My Japanese Skills are very lacking) ::CPU BATTLE:: Pick anyone of the cast of fighters and defeat allcomers to gain victory! Can you reach the mysterious fighter at the end? ::VERSUS:: -START >From here, pick your characters and FIGHT! -STAGE Pick a Stage to fight on from the 9 selectable. -CONFIG Brings up the following OPTIONS Menu. - {BUTTON} Here you can setup your button config to suit your tastes. - {TYPE EDIT} Change character attributes such as Strength, Defense and Speed. - {SPEED} Choose from three speed settings to play the game at. - {GAME LEVEL} How hard do you want the CPU players to be? - {TIME LEVEL} On or Off, it's your choice. - {LIFE GAUGE} Do you want to be able to see how much energy you have left? - {BRIGHT} When this is ON, the screen will be dark until someone is hit. - {SOUND} Stereo or Mono? - {EXIT} Guess what this does? -EXIT Does what it says... ::EXTRA:: -TAG Pick two characters to fight with and take them into a battle. When you pick this option you have 6 choices: - 1P vs CPU - 1P vs 2P - 1P 2P vs CPU - 1P 2P vs 3P 4P (Break out the multitap, folks!! ^_^) - CPU vs CPU - EXIT After you pick one of these modes (Barring EXIT) you are taken to the MODE SELECT Menu. Here you can choose one of the following:- - START Start the Tag Battle here. - STAGE Pick a Stage to fight on from the 9 selectable. - CONFIG Brings up this OPTIONS menu. - {BUTTON} Here you can setup your button config to suit your tastes. - {TYPE EDIT} Change character attributes such as Strength, Defense and Speed. - {SPEED} Choose from three speed settings to play the game at. - {GAME LEVEL} How hard do you want the CPU players to be? - {TIME LEVEL} On or Off, it's your choice. - {LIFE GAUGE} Do you want to be able to see how much energy you have left? - {BRIGHT} When this is ON, the screen will be dark until someone is hit. - {SOUND} Stereo or Mono? - {EXIT} Guess what this does? :-TAG BATTLE EXPLANATION-: After you have chosen your Tag-team partners and set-up the battle to your taste, you will then enter the battle. The fight takes place on a single screen background with two flashing 'Touch!' markers at the side of the screen. The Left marker is Player 1's Tag Zone and the Right marker is Player 2's Tag Zone. When you want to tag, enter your Tag Zone and press the SELECT button. The game will pause for a second, allowing you to get ready with your next fighter. If you enter your opponent's Tag Zone, the fighter that has not been tagged in may damage you. You will take damage (Although, not an awful lot thankfully) even if you block whilst in the opposite Tag Zone, so be careful! The round is over when just one of the characters' energy bars is empty. This calls for strategic tagging! =) -SURVIVAL Misleading name for a Team Battle mode!! Pick 5 characters and defeat the other team. When you enter this mode you are presented with 4 options:- - 1P vs CPU - 1P vs 2P - CPU vs CPU - EXIT When you pick your mode (Except for EXIT), you're taken to another menu. Being on familiar grounds now, here's the menu again. :P - START Start the 'Survival' battle here. - STAGE Pick your starting Stage out of the 9 selectable. - CONFIG Brings up this OPTIONS menu. - {BUTTON} Here you can setup your button config to suit your tastes. - {TYPE EDIT} Change character attributes such as Strength, Defense and Speed. - {SPEED} Choose from three speed settings to play the game at. - {GAME LEVEL} How hard do you want the CPU players to be? - {TIME LEVEL} On or Off, it's your choice. - {LIFE GAUGE} Do you want to be able to see how much energy you have left? - {BRIGHT} When this is ON, the screen will be dark until someone is hit. - {SOUND} Stereo or Mono? - {EXIT} Guess what this does? :-SURVIVAL MODE EXPLANATION-: As I mentioned before, it's not a traditional survival mode but rather a team battle mode. Pick your options and set-up then enter the main mode and pick 5 characters to fight with. Fight to the best of your ability and try to be the team that is left standing at the end. Everytime you defeat an opponent, you gain a little energy back. Your energy is then carried over to the next round. You can use the same character in your team more than once. (In fact, you could have 5 Ryoko's on the team. Scary thought!) -PRACTICE -{EXERCISE}- Aha! So, you thought that Street Fighter EX+a on the Playstation was the first game to have a mode in which you had to satisfy certain goals to proceed onto the next task? Nope. When you enter this mode, you pick your character and proceed to a dojo background where you are given a task to do (In Japanese) which you must complete 3 times before you are allowed to move onto the next one. Completion of all of the characters tasks will reward you will normally reward you with a complex command for a rather powerful special move. **Details of each characters EXERCISE MODE tasks, are listed in their respective sections** -{FREE)- Practice your moves, combos or whatever here to your heart's content. Pressing SELECT when in this mode will exit you back the the PRACTICE menu. -{EXIT}- Go back the previous menu. -EXIT Return to the Title Screen. ::OPTIONS:: Configure the game in many ways. Customize the game to your liking. - BUTTON Here you can setup your button config to suit your tastes. - TYPE EDIT Change character attributes such as Strength, Defense and Speed. - SPEED Choose from three speed settings to play the game at. - GAME LEVEL How hard do you want the CPU players to be? - TIME LEVEL On or Off, it's your choice. - LIFE GAUGE Do you want to be able to see how much energy you have left? - BRIGHT When this is ON, the screen will be dark until someone is hit. - SOUND Stereo or Mono? - EXIT Guess what this does? <<--LEGEND-->> U = Up D = Down B = Back (Away from opponent) F = Forward (Towards opponent) UB, UF, DB, DF = Combinations of the above.

At first he seems to be a poor copy of Ryu or Ken of Street Fighter fame. But, work a little with him and you'll soon find out that he has lots of uses. --THROWS-- Face Crush = F or B+Heavy Punch Spinning Heel Throw = F or B+Heavy Kick --VARIANTS-- None --SPECIAL MOVES-- Tiger Bazooka = QCF+Punch Kou Ryuu Sai = B, DB, D+Punch Ren Zoku Keri = QCF+Kick (x5) (This move can be chained upto 5 times) Kuuchu Ren Zoku Keri = Jump, then QCF+Kick (x4) (Only after a jumping attack) Gottsui Tiger Bazooka = QCF+All 4 Attack Buttons Sho Ten Sai = B, DB, D+All 4 Attack Buttons --INFORMATION-- The Tiger Bazooka has a little lag on it's startup time so be wary that it can be seen and jumped over with relative ease. If anything, it should only be combo'd and/or used at full screen to annoy the opponent. Mizoguchi doesn't really have great anti-air moves, but a Weak Kou Ryuu Sai can be timed to work as such. I prefer to use either a Standing Heavy Kick or a Crouching Heavy Punch to keep out jumping nasties. :) Remember that the Ren Zoku Keri (QCF+Kick) is your friend. Apart from being a move that can batter an enemy to pieces, you can drop the fifth blow to carry on the combo with something else. Try to ONLY use the Gottsui Tiger Bazooka (QCF+All 4 attack buttons) when the opponent is dizzy. The damage may be great if it connects, but the wind-up time on it is freaking HUGE! Pull this off against an active opponent and you can kiss your energy goodbye as they stamp you into the ground with any combo of their choice. The Sho Ten Sai is a great move, but to get the best results you should only use this up close as it will drag them upwards whilst combo-ing them. If you miss with the first hit then you'll carry on with the move and sail upwards, and the opponent has a chance to beat you silly. First appeared in Fighters History (Arcade, SNES) as well as Fighters History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! (SNES) and Fuunseiki (Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty 2), which only appeared on the Sega Saturn. In all three games he's hardly changed much at all.. but I don't think that's a bad thing, seeing as he's fun to use. --COMBOS-- J HK, C WK, C WK, C, HK J HK, C WK, S HK, QCF+HP J HK, C WK, S HK, BTD+HP J HK, C WK, S HK, QCF+HK J HK, S HK, QCF+HK , BTD+HP (9 Hits) J HK, S HK, QCF+HK , C WK , S HK, QCF+HK (14 Hits) J HK, S HK, QCF+HK , BTD+All 4 Attack buttons (17 Hits) **Scrubby Combo Alert!!** J HK, S HK, QCF+HK , S HK, QCF+HK , S HK, QCF+HK etc... Yes, it's a bloody infinite combo.. not that it's needed at all, but it's in there all the same. --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Standing Close Heavy Punch, Kou Ryuu Sai (D, DB, B+Punch) You must score 4 hits with the above combo. TASK 2: Standing Close Heavy Kick (2 Hits), Ren Zoku Keri (QCF+Kick) x4, Kou Ryuu Sai (D, DB, B+Heavy Punch) After the 2 hits of the Heavy Kick, only do 4 Ren Zoku Keri's and as you drop to the floor start the motion for the Kou Ryuu Sai. You must score 9 hits with the above combo. TASK 3: Gottsui Tiger Bazooka (QCF+All 4 attacks), Standing Heavy Kick (2 Hit), Ren Zoku Keri (QCF+Kick) x4, Sho Ten Sai (B, DB, D+All 4 attacks) This is best suited to the corner. Push your foe into the corner and start the Gottsui Tiger Bazooka (QCF+All 4 attacks), as soon as you see Mizoguchi retract and start to stand up, hit the Heavy Kick button to ram that axe kick home. Cancel to the 4 Ren Zoku Keri's (QCF+Kick) and as you drop from the fourth one, jam in the Sho Ten Sai (B, DB, D+All 4 attacks) for 18 hits! ::::::: <> ::::::: Name: Lee Diendo Tactical Weak Point: Knees An interesting character. No projectile attacks, but he really doesn't need any at all. He has speed, power and huge combo potential. So, there's got to be a drawback, right? Yep. For the most part, his moves are somewhat awkward to pull off, and you really need to practice with him before you can start to take people down with any finesse. One of my favourite characters. --THROWS-- Shoulder Carry = F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- None --SPECIAL MOVES-- Sen Kyuu Tai = QCF+Kick Zesshou Hou = QCF+Punch Super Zesshou Hou = QCF, B+Punch - Choshin Kou = F, F+Weak Punch (After either ZesshouHou) - Tetsuzan Kou = F, F+Heavy Punch (After either ZesshouHou) Kaen Zesshou Hou = QCB+Punch (Cannot continue afterwards) Tsume no Tora = B, F, DB, DF+Both Punches Chou Tetsuzan Kou = F, B, DB, D+Punch Leaning Shoulder Throw = (When close) B, DF, DB+Kick --INFORMATION-- The Sen Kyuu Tai is possibly the best anti-air move in the game. After the Zesshou Hou and Super Zesshou Hou you can finish the move with either the Choshin Kon or the Tetsuzan Kou, but only the Tetsuzan Kou will knock the opponent over. Mix it up once in a while and continue the assault when they expect to be knocked over. The Kaen Zesshou Hou knocks down. No move can be linked afterwards. The Tsume no Tora can negate projectile attacks, but it's tricky to just pull that out when you see someone launching a fireball at you... Chou Tetsuzan Kou, instant knockdown but covers a good portion of the screen. The Leaning Shoulder Throw can be combo'd into from regular attacks. Unfortunatly, Lee lost one of the coolest looking throws. It only appeared in Fighters History, but the animation is still in the game as the Tsume no Tora. He grabbed the opponent and planted his palm into their stomach as he blasted them across the screen with a pulse of energy emitting from his palm. Apart from that, Lee has done nothing but gain moves that have made him into a really fun character to use as well as real combo monster. --COMBOS-- J HP, C HP, QCF+HP, (F, F+HP) J HP, C HP, QCB+HP J HP, C WK, QCF+HK J HP, C WP, C WK, C HP, QCF+HP, (F, F+HP) J WP, S WK, (B, D, BD+HK) J HP, C HP, (F, BTD+HP) --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Crouching Heavy Punch, ZesshouHou (QCF+Punch) This should score 2 hits on the the combo meter. TASK 2: Jumping Weak Punch, Crouching Weak Punch, Crouching Weak Kick, Heavy Sen Kyuu Tai (QCF+Heavy Kick) This should score 5 hits of the combo meter. TASK 3: Tsume no Tora (B, F, DB, DF+Both Punches) x2. The only way to do this is to back the opponent into the corner then use the Tsume no Tora which will get you 5 hits, now time the next Tsume no Tora very carefully so that you execute the move just as you finish the first one. Being impatient will get you a Zesshou Hou instead. This should score 10 hits on the combo meter. ::::::::: <> ::::::::: Name: Ryoko Kano Tactical Weak Point: Headband Uses Judo, but could teach Zangief a few things about throwing! Can use her throws in combos as well as having some of the best moves in the game. Learning to use Ryoko well will help you win a LOT. Again, one of my favourite characters. --THROWS-- Side Throw = F or B+Heavy Punch Tomoe Nagi = DF+Heavy Punch - Submission = D, D+Punch during Tomoe Nagi Kyuu Raku = F or B+Heavy Punch (In Mid-Air) --VARIANTS-- Rising Chop - D+Heavy Punch --SPECIAL MOVES-- Zen Ten Ukemi = CBF+Kick Cho Yama Arashi = HCF or HCB+Punch (When next to opponent) Ippon Seoi = HCF or HCB+Punch (When near to opponent) KuuChu Ippon Seoi = HCF or HCB+Punch (When next to opponent in midair) Kata Guruma = F, UF, U, UB, B+Punch (When next to opponent) Tenshi Cho Yama Arashi = HCF, D, DF+Weak Punch+Weak Kick (When next to opponent) --INFORMATION-- To get the Submission to work, just use the Tomoe Nagi (DF+Punch) and as Ryoko falls back to throw them, input the command and she'll twist over to lock their neck in a stranglehold. The Zen Ten Ukemi (CBF+Kick) can be used rather cheaply. Use it when up close and as you come out of it, use the Ippon Seoi (HCF or HCB+Punch when near to opponent) and you'll dash in afterwards to throw the enemy. Seeing as they can't really block a throw, it's kind of annoying if it's done to you a few times. :) The Cho Yama Arashi (HCF or HCB+Punch when next to opponent) can be combo'd into from most normal attacks. If you're out of range for it then you'll get the Ippon Seoi instead, so it's not all bad. The Kata Guruma doesn't damage at all, but it throws the opponent skywards so you can either jump attack them, use the Kyuu Raku Mid-Air Throw or the Kuuchu Ippon Seoi to cause damage. The Tenshi Cho Yama Arashi is a VERY cool move, but it has the most awkward motion to pull of. The only thing you can really combo it off of is a Close Standing Heavy Kick. Ryoko may rank as one of the cheapest characters in this game, but she's so much fun to use it's untrue. She's not changed much at all from the previous games but she was fun to use in the first game and it's still evident here. --COMBOS-- J HP, S HP, HCB/HCF+HP J WP, S WP, HCB/HCF+HP J WP, S HK (2 Hits), HCB/HCF+HP J WP, S WP, (F, UF, U, UB, B+Punch), Jump then HCB/HCF+HP in Mid-Air J WP, S WP, (F, UF, U, UB, B+Punch), Jump then F+HP in Mid-Air S HK, (HCF, D, DF+Weak Punch+Weak Kick) --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Standing close Heavy Punch, Cho Yama Arashi (HCF or HCB+Punch) This should score 2 hits on the combo meter. TASK 2: Jumping Weak Punch, Standing close Heavy Kick (2 Hits), Ippon Seoi(HCF or HCB+Punch). The trick here is to allow the Heavy Kick to connect twice, otherwise you'll get the Cho Yama Arashi and not the Ippon Seoi. This should score 4 hits on the combo meter. TASK 3: 2 Weak Punches, Kata Guruma (F, UF, U, UB, B+Punch), KuuChu Ippon Seoi (HCF or HCB+Punch). Kinda tricky. Bat your foe around the head twice and then throw them skywards with the Kata Guruma. As they are falling to the ground, jump to meet them and input the command for the Kuuchu Ippon Seoi. This should score 4 hits on the combo meter. :::::::::: <> :::::::::: Name: Liu Feilin Tactical Weak Point: Armoured Breastplate Beautiful, graceful and in need of a challenge, Liu Feilin steps up once again to prove her worth as a fighter. --THROWS-- Sparrow Drop = F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- Wheel Kick = F+Heavy Kick (At the same time) Hishou Kyaku = Jump, then D+Heavy Kick --SPECIAL MOVES-- Touroh Zan = QCF+Punch Kuuchu Touroh Zan = Jump, then B, DB, B+Punch Hakkaku Soubi Ken = CDU+Punch --INFORMATION-- Unfortunatly the Toroh Zan cannot be sucessfully combo'd from any normal attack. You can cancel into it from most attacks, but if the opponent blocks straight afterwards, then the Toroh Zan will meet their defence. The Kuuchu Toroh Zan however, is a great move. Use this after a very deep hitting jumping Heavy Punch to float down next to the foe. This allows you to carry the combo on. The Hakkaku Soubi Ken (CDU+Punch) is a good anti-air and also quite good in combos. Abuse it to annoy the life out of the opponent. Feilin hasn't changed at all from the prequels. She still retains her good Heavy Kick that is great for hitting people out of Mid-Air, as well as her Kuuchu Toroh Zan that is just a cool combo opener! She seems to be a Guile ripoff until you realise that she has different uses than pinning an opponent into a corner and chipping away at their energy whilst you make sure that they can't move. She has enough speed to help confuse an opponent as well as her best asset, the Kuuchu Toroh Zan. This move pushes you away as you fire it off, and you can harrass people silly with it too. One thing that you should be aware of about using Feilin, she's got fast normal attacks that can be chained to each other quite well. Abuse this to make her one of the best harrassment characters in the game. --COMBOS-- J WP, C WP, C WP, CDU+Punch J HP, BTD+HP, C WK, CDU+Punch --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Jumping Heavy Punch, Heavy Kuuchu Toroh Zan (B, DB, B+Punch) Make sure that the Heavy punch is done fairly late, then cancel into the Toroh Zan to complete the task. This should score 2 hits on the combo meter. TASK 2: Jumping Weak Punch, Standing Weak Punch, Standing Weak Kick, Crouching Heavy Kick. This should score 4 hits on the combo meter. TASK 3: 2 Crouching Weak Punches, Crouching Weak Kick, Heavy Hakkaku Soubi Ken (CDU+Heavy Punch) This should score 4 hits on the combo meter. ::::::::: <> ::::::::: Name: Zazie Muhaba Tactical Weak Point: Headband A African powerhouse with a soft spot for animals, he pounces like a Tiger! --THROWS-- Hell Driver = F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- None --SPECIAL MOVES-- Vulcan Hook = Press Punch repeatedly Hellfire = B, DB, D+Punch Sliding = F, F+Kick (Press F+Kick again for another Sliding) Hop Back = F, B+Kick Hell Heel = D, U+Weak Kick Hell Axe = D, U+Heavy Kick --INFORMATION-- The Vulcan Hook isn't a bad move, just one that you'll try not to rely on. Hellfire is great anti-air as well as being nicely combo-able. Sliding as a few uses, it goes through most projectile attacks (With timing), advances across the screen quite fast and allows you to get closer to the opponent to either Vulcan Hook/Hellfire/Hell Heel/Throw them to death. The Hop Back does exactly that. Apart from that however, it makes you jump forwards straight after as well. It's a good way of feinting in hope that your foe will throw and attack and miss... but I suck at using this move. Zazie was introduced for Fighters History Dynamite. While not being the most original character ever, he does have some original moves. He makes up for his lack of attacking specials with a good repetoire of evasions and diversions. --COMBOS-- J HP, S HP, (D, U+HK) J HP, S WK, BTD+HP J HP, C WP, C WK, C HK --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Standing Weak Kick, Hellfire (B, DB, D+Punch) This should score 3 hits on the combo meter. TASK 2: Jumping Weak Punch, Standing Weak Punch, Vulcan Hook (Press Punch repeatedly) This should score 5 hits on the combo meter. TASK 3: Jumping Heavy Kick, Standing Weak Kick, Standing Heavy Punch, Hellfire (B, DB, D+Punch) This should score 4 hits on the combo meter. ::::::::::: <> ::::::::::: Name: Liu Yungmie Tactical Weak Point: Waist Sash Out to prove that Tae Kwon Do knows no equal! Yungmie cannot lose! --THROWS-- Tomoe Nagi = F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- Phoenix Fall = Jump, then D+Heavy Kick --SPECIAL MOVES-- Wall Jump = At screen edge, then press opposite direction and any button Aura Smash = HCB+Punch Kuchuu Aura Smash = Jump, then QCF+Punch Kaen Kyaku = Any 2 attacks repeatedly (Can then move forwards) Nerichagi = F, DB, DF+Kick Foot Rush = D, DB, B+Kick --INFORMATION-- Make good use of Yungmie's Wall Jump, as it can get you away from annoying corner traps and/or take you straight in for the attack. The Aura Smash is a good projectile but has a little wind-down on it, so be careful when flinging these around. The Kuuchu Aura Smash is good for annoying the life out of people as you can launch one just above head-height the jump in to attack! Don't forget that you can also cancel into this from a jumping Heavy Kick, giving you more time to combo things in! I'm not really fond of the Kaen Kyaku, as I always tend to pull it off by accident when I'm comboing. It's quite good as a deterrant against foes who jump-in a lot.. but you have the... Nerichagi instead. It hits on the way up, and sails down with a hit too, meaning that attacking her while she falls is a bit of a no-no. Her Foot Rush special is a nice combo ender, but be warned that although it looks nice, you can duck it. >_< Yungmie was introduced in Fighters History Dynamite, and has appeared in two other games: Fighters History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! (SNES) and Fuunseiki (Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty 2)(Sega Saturn). In all three games she has been changed slightly, but still retaining her speed and high-grade annoyingness with her rapid weak attacks! --COMBOS-- J HK, QCF+HP, C WK , C HK J HK, S HP, QCB+HK J HP, C WK, S HP, HCB+HP, (F, DB, DF+HK) J HP, C WK, S HP, HCB+HP, S HP, HCB+HP, QCB+HK (Corner Only) --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Jumping Heavy Kick, Heavy Kuuchu Aura Smash (QCF+Heavy Punch) Not that hard, but getting the Kuuchu Aura Smash to connect can be tricky. This should score 2 hits on the combo meter. (But I always get 3 due to the fact that the Jumping Heavy Kick hits twice) TASK 2: Jumping Heavy Kick, Heavy Kuuchu Aura Smash (QCF+Heavy Punch), 3 Crouching Weak Kicks, Crouching Heavy Kick. Ok.. a little more tricky. The Jumping Heavy Kick MUST hit for 2 hits or the task won't be completed. Be careful not to just ram the Weak Kick after the Kuuchu Aura Smash or the CPU will think that you're still hitting Heavy Punch (From the Aura Smash) as well and you'll get the Kaen Kyaku. After the Aura Smash hold Down on the pad and wait until you've landed before you start to hit the Weak Kick button. 3 of those, then chain a Heavy Kick onto the end and you're all done. This should score 7 hits on the combo meter. TASK 3: Jumping Heavy Kick, Heavy Kuuchu Aura Smash (QCF+Heavy Punch), Crouching Weak Kick, Weak Nerichagi (F, DB, DF+Weak Kick) This, is a pain in the backside. As before, be careful and wait until you drop and start crouching after the Aura Smash, then cancel to the Weak Nerichagi (F, DB, DF+Weak Kick) to complete the Task. This should score 5 hits on the combo meter. ::::::::: <> ::::::::: Name: Known only as 'Clown' Tactical Weak Point: Facemask What manner of scheme had Clown got up his sleeve? Can he be upto no good once again? --THROWS-- Jugging Throw - F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- None --SPECIAL MOVES-- Pick A Card = CBF+Punch Head Stamp = CDB, UF+Punch Spin Attack = CDB, F+Kick Spin Drop = CDB, U+Kick --INFORMATION-- The Pick A Card is a bit of a let down. It's not that fast, damage is not anything major and the wind-down time is a little more than you'd like. The Head Stamp is one of the most annoying moves in the game. The only thing you have to watch out for is when the move is blocked you're wide open for a pounding. You can steer yourself away as you fall, but whether it'll be enough... Clown's Spin Attack is just like Blanka's of Street Fighter fame, apart from the fact that it's FAST. Abuse this move, but be wary of people that can react to it and attack you out of it. The Spin Drop's not bad, but it's speed my have you being hit more that you hit with it. Clown was the Mid-boss in the original Fighters History. He was a pain in the backside then, and nothing's changed. Erratic as ever, no matter what you throw at him he'll manage to hit you at least once. --COMBOS-- J HK, C WP, C WK, CBF+HP J HK, C WP, C WK, S HP, CBF+HP J HK, C WP, C WK, CBF+HK J HK, C WP, C WK, S HP, CBF+HK --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Crouching Heavy Punch, Heavy Pick A Card (CBF+Heavy Punch) This must score 2 hits on the combo meter. TASK 2: Crouching Weak Punch, Crouching Weak Kick, Spin Attack (CBF+Kick) This must score 3 hits on the combo meter. TASK 3: Jumping Heavy Punch, Standing Weak Punch, Standing Close Heavy Punch (1 Hit), Heavy Spin Attack (CBF+Heavy Kick). AAARGH!! Why is this so darn hard??? It doesn't sound like it, and pulling it off isn't hard either. But the computer wants you to get a Standing Weak Punch WITHOUT getting the close-range animation for it. Grrr.. This should score 4 hits on the combo meter. :::::::::: <> :::::::::: Name: Jinborov Karnovski Tactical Weak Point: Necklace The Ex-Champion is back! This time he WON'T lose to Mizoguchi! --THROWS-- Headbutt - F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- None --SPECIAL MOVES-- Fireball = QCF+Punch High Fire Breath = F, F+Punch Low Fire Breath = F, F+Kick Super 100 Kick = CBF+Kick Balloon Attack = Jump, then HCB, UB+Punch Aerial Cossack = CDU+Kick --INFORMATION-- The Fireball (QCF+Punch) is a bit slow for a projectile, but worth it as the recoil time on it doesn't really allow the opponent to batter you senseless. The Fire Breath's (F, F+Any Attack) are good to use once in a while to confuse the opponent silly. Abuse the Super 100 Kick like there's no tomorrow. It's fast, recovers in no time what-so-ever and does nice damage too. The Balloon Attack gets my award for strangest move ever. It can be used to float above your opponents head and as the move finishes Karnov drops with an attack. After this attack you can add another jumping attack just by pressing any attack button. The Aerial Cossack is a nice addition to Karnov's moves, and counts as a good combo ender too. As an anti-air move it's not great, but with a little practice, you'll rip people out of the air like flies. Karnov has the ability to execute rapid Weak Punches when jumping. This helps out when combo-ing as you can jump in with two attacks then carry on from there. Old-school gamers should recognize Karnov. He was the star of his own game back in 1987 which appeared in the arcades as well as on the Commadore64, AmstradCPC464 and the Sinclair Spectrum in 1988. He still breathes fire, but has sadly lost the ability to pull ladders out of his bum. Oh well.. can't have everything! ^_^ --COMBOS-- J HK, C WP, C WK, CDU+WK J HK, S HP (2 Hits), QCF+HP J HK, S HP (2 Hits), (F, F+HP/HK) J HK, S HP (2 Hits), CBF+HK --EXERCISE-- TASK 1: Standing Close Heavy Kick, Heavy Fireball (QCF+Punch) This should score 2 hits on the combo meter.

Old school gamers should recognize Chelnov. Yes, it's the same Chelnov from the 1988 Arcade/Genesis/MegaDrive game Atomic Runner. --THROWS-- Head Smash = F or B+Heavy Punch --VARIANTS-- Bouncing = D+Heavy Kick when jumping --SPECIAL MOVES-- Laser = QCF+Punch Vulcan = HCB+Any Punch/Heavy Kick Missle = CBF+Punch Aerial Molotov = Jump, then F, F+Punch Atomic Runner = HCB+All 4 Buttons --INFORMATION-- Chelnov's Laser (QCF+Punch) is a staple projectile, but it has one major drawback. It will not hit a crouching opponent. All someone has to do to avoid it is duck down and watch it sail over their head. The Vulcan is a tricky little move. The Weak Punch variant travels in an upwards arc, the Heavy Punch version has a lower arc and the Heavy Kick version aims down first, then rebounds off of the floor to travel up. The Missile is great! A homing fireball attack? O_o How cheap is this?? Nope, I take that back.. The Aerial Molotov is cheap. I mean c'mon!! How easy a command do you want for a high-priority air-fireball? The Atomic Runner is akin to Mizoguchi's Gottsui Tiger Bazooka. It's very powerful, but has enough wind-up time for your opponent to jump in and kill you outright. And no.. he doesn't go "SSJ" when he does the move. *Groan* Chelnov is quite the powerhouse. That understandable though, seeing as he IS the boss character in the game. Although he suffers from the same drawback as every other playable boss character: A little awkward to use, but hardly any fun at all. It's almost too easy to beat people with him due to the fact that he has so many projectile moves. --COMBOS-- J HK, C WP, C WK , C HK J HK, S HP, QCF+HP J HP, S HP, QCF+HP, S HP, QCF+HP, C HK J HP, C WP , C HP, CBF+HP --EXERCISE-- Chelnov has no Exercise tasks. <<--SECRETS-->> ACCESS CHELNOV:- Watch the opening intro and when the title screen appears and the announcer calls out 'Fighters History' input the following code on Pad 1: - Down, Down, Up, Up, Right, Left, L Button, R Button. You should hear Mizoguchi cry out and the Chelnov will be selectable. <<--CLOSING WORDS-->> I always wondered just why no-one ever made an FAQ for this. I suppose it was due to the stigma that befell the first ever game (It being a 'Rip-off' of Capcom's Street Fighter 2). After I got Fighters History Dynamite for my NeoGeo CD I found out that the characters were fun to use and most of them weren't the shameless rip-offs that the seemed to be. I came across this SNES 'sequel' to the series and found that it had a lot more than Dynamite had to offer. The characters had certain moves changed, some added, and a few characters taken out (Which I thought was a shame, as I liked most of the missing characters. ;_; ) Still, I couldn't figure out the EXERCISE mode until quite a while later (And picking up a little Japanese). Still no FAQ's were written for this game.. so, I decided to write one myself. I wonder if people have actually heard of this 'sequel'? If there are any mistakes that you can correct (I'm sure there are a few), comments you'd like to give or just ask a question or two then you can contact me at the following e-mail address:- GalFord@UkyoFan.zzn.com And I'll get back to you as soon as I can. <<--CREDITS-->> Data East - For making this great little game (And series). I would have loved to have seen an up to date sequel of this with Super Meters etc, etc.. GameFAQs - For displaying my FAQs, as always. And for having some of the best message boards on the 'Net. ^_^ Ralf kix - For finding out the command to Chelnov's Aerial Molotov! Me - Well.. SOMEONE had to type all this out! Hehe. You - And SOMEONE had to read all of this stuff too! Give yourself a pat on the back for your efforts!! This FAQ is (c) Bob 'GalFord' Ritchings 2001
