Strider Hiryu is Copyright Moto Hikaku. All rights reserved. I'm going to focus on the US arcade/Naomi version of the game since I actually can confirm stuff for it. A lot more work needs to be done here as it is very disorganized and is still missing a lot of character info. I'll try to keep this up-to-date as possible before Kao Mengura (Chris MacDonald) does one (and I hope soon, cause I want to know the moves too.) First of all, thanks goes to the people on #capcom, especially DannyCat, Dasrik, Viscant, along with Shoryuken.com for providing the most current info on the game, MadMan's Cafe (http://mmcafe.syste.ms) for keeping me updated on the game, and Ford City for having this game so quickly.

(BTW, check out http://www.gamefaqs.com/mvc2vms.html as CJayC has put up a hacked VMU with all the secrets unlocked; believe me, that's probably the only reasonable so far.) This FAQ also assumes that you've at least played Marvel vs. Capcom and the other Vs. games. I didn't want to fluff this FAQ too much by adding stuff most people already know. 1. When is it coming out? It's already out in various places across the country starting 3/16/00. Check the arcades in your area. For you importers, the release date for the Japanese Dreamcast was moved up to 3/28/00. The DC US version seems to have a date of 5/02/00 so far, but I also heard that it won't be out until July and even September. 2. Who are the characters in the game? There were supposed to be 52 characters in the arcade version of the game and 40 for the Dreamcast version originally. But it seems that all 56 are going to be in there even thought there are 52 boxes. On the Japanese Dreamcast version, more boxes revealed themselves when you unlocked past the 40 original ones: Capcom Marvel ------ ------ Akuma Cable Amingo Captain America Anakaris Cyclops BB Hood Dr. Doom Captain Commando Gambit Guile Hulk Hayato Iceman Jin Saotome Juggernaut Morrigan Magneto Ruby Heart Marrow Ryu Shuma Gorath Sonson Spider-Man Strider Hiryu Venom Zangief Wolverine and 28 need to be unlocked: Capcom Marvel ------ ------ Block 1: Cammy Omega Red Jill Psylocke Sakura Rogue Tron Storm Block 2: Roll War Machine Megaman Wolverine (Admantium-less) ?: Charlie Blackheart Chun-Li Colossus Dan Iron Man Dhalsim Sabertooth Ken Silver Samurai M. Bison Spiral Block 4: Felicia Sentinel Kobun Thanos It seems like Capcom will give all 56 to both the DC and Naomi versions. You can try to make out the hidden characters during the intro for the game, which shows all the characters, or their outline if they are still hidden. A. How are the hidden characters unlocked? The US version is not using the VMU from the Dreamcast at all. I think their reasoning was that people will mess with it in the arcades here or that people won't really bother with it at all. The hidden characters are unlocked by Exp.(experience) points that is shown on the character selection screen and title screen. Each coin/token put into the machine gives you one experience point (this may vary depending on the operator's setting.) Points are also given in what seems like set time intervals (like every 10 hours the game is on, 100 exp is added.) This is so that even a machine in a smaller place will eventually get the characters unlocked. Hitting the service trigger to cheat this system may not work as it stops counting after 9 credits. Every 400 exp raises the Lv.(level) by 1 and does something. Lv.1 400 Exp Marvel character gets unlocked Lv.2 800 Exp gold box around a random character Lv.3 1200 Exp gold box Lv.4 1600 Exp Capcom character gets unlocked Lv.5 2000 Exp gold box Lv.6 2400 Exp gold box Lv.7 2800 Exp Marvel character get unlocked Lv.8 3200 Exp gold box So basically you get Marvel character, gold box, gold box, Capcom character, gold box, gold box, Marvel character, ect. There seems to be an order to the unlocking of characters. First the characters in block 1 are unlocked (alternating between Marvel and Capcom characters) and then 2 and so on. What I have listed for Block 1 and 2 are confirmed from various machine across the country. Block 4 is a guess from the DC version. The unlocked characters just become selectable on the selection screen without any notice or message. B. What does those gold boxes around the characters mean? The thing now is that we think the gold boxes mean that the character now has one or two more color that can be chosen (with the Assist buttons.) Whoopee! In other words, the gold boxes are generally useless. 3. What's changed? A lot... A. Attacks buttons Jab Fierce Assist 1 _ _ _ (_) (_) (_) _ _ _ (_) (_) (_) Short Roundhouse Assist 2 The biggest change is the new setup of the buttons. If you don't know yet, the Strong and Forward buttons are gone and are now the Fierce and Roundhouse. In place of Fierce and Roundhouse are the assist button, Assist 1 and Assist 2. Most are guessing the main reason for this change was to conform to the standard Dreamcast controllers, which were horrid for playing MvC. Another reason may be that doing allowed for Capcom to put things into the game like Snapback and assist characters, without having players worry about hitting the wrong two buttons. The change isn't too bad, most players adapted after a few games. The Strong and Forward attacks can still be done, usually inside a combo. This is because the Jab and Short also double as Strong and Forward. Strider for example can hit Jab-Short-Jab-Short-Fierce-Roundhouse and the second time the Jab and Short are hit his Strong and Forward from MvC will come out. For a character like Ryu who had a Weak to Strong chain, pressing Jab-Short would result in a Jab-Forward coming out for him, because he can't chain a Short after his Jab. So for most characters, doing the 'full' air combo would now require launching and then hitting Jab-Short-Jab-Short-Finisher. Some of those who have launchers that is either Strong or Forward can also do them by holding down-forward on the controller and hitting either Fierce or Roundhouse, depending on what your character has for a launcher. And if your character's old launcher was either a Strong or Forward like Zangief's then you done have to chain into their launcher. B. Assist Buttons Remember how in Marvel vs. Street Fighter you can call your partner to assist you with Strong + Forward? Well, that's what the main use of the Assist buttons are for. As you all should know by now, there are 3 characters on your team. After picking each of your character, you are given a choice of 3 assist types. Some of these are pretty obvious (Projectile type, Anti-Air type, Dash type, Heal type, ect.) Others such as Variety type, Expansion type and Balance type, are less descriptive in what they are (Expansion is 'movement' in the Japanese import.) After you pick them, you cannot change them until you lose and choose your team again. With the Assist buttons you call your first character under the main life bar out with Assist 1 and the bottom character with Assist 2. This can be used at almost any time you can do a move except while you are Super Jumping. This mean you can do it while sitting back charging with Guile, while you are in the middle of a chain combo, anytime you can buffer into something, right as you are jumping at or over an opponent, ect. After using an Assist, you have to wait for the 'Assist OK' over the assist character you had just used to go away before calling another assist or switching out with that character. I don't think you can ever have all three characters on screen at the same time except during a Triple Hyper Combo. Using your assists characters is one of the key thing you most likely will have to be good at to be good at this game. Be careful though, your assist character seems to take extra damage when hit, but all done to them is red (aka recoverable) damage. But they cannot be thrown (or autocomboed?) I know Jill's Tyrant super fails after the initial hit, but Maximum Spider worked. a. Snapback QCF + Assist 1 or 2 will do your character's Snapback attack. You will have a light effect coming from you as you do a normal move. This uses up one super level and is a blockable attack that if connects will force your opponent's current character out and force in another character, depending on which Assist button you used (Assist 1 to force his middle character in, Assist 2 to force his bottom character in.) The character forced out is also unusable for the opponent until the red 'X' over the life bar has gone away. Some characters can combo these in. These may also becoming important as we learn more about the game and may become one of the main ways to stop people from overusing their assist characters. b. Duo/Triple Hyper Combo Pressing both Assist 1 and Assist 2 may do either a super, duo super, or triple super. It will make use of as many characters and super meter as it can. If you have only 1 character left and 5 levels of meter you get a regular super since there are no more characters left to do more, if you have all three characters but only 1 level of super meter you still get a regular super because you don't have enough meter to do more. If you have 2 characters and 2 or more levels you'll get a Duo Super using 2 level of meter up. Having 3 characters and 3 or more levels will allow you to do a Triple Super using 3 levels up. Doing these DO NOT switch your character out like it did in the previous versus games. These generally do not do enough damage to warrant the use of 3 levels, as you do not switch your character out. Also, the supers you do depend on which assist type you picked for your characters. C. How do you switch characters? Hitting Jab + Short will tag out your character and tag in you middle character. Hitting Fierce + Roundhouse will tag in your bottom character. Tagging in has been made fairer now. Where in MvC a blocked tag in usually meant eating a super and hitting with your tag in only resulted in a little damage done. Now if you hit with your opponent with a tag in, they get popped up allowing you to combo them. They can roll out once they hit the ground so it's best to hit them before then (duh.) To switch the starting character before a match, hold either Assist 1 to switch with your middle character or Assist 2 to switch with the bottom character when the screen showing you and your opponent's characters in a hexagon right before the match. a. Delayed Hyper Combo (DHC) I put this under here because this is probably the best way for you to tag in characters in this game. To do this, while you are doing a super (it can be anytime from when you start it until the background changes back to normal.) Let's say you have Ryu, Morrigan, and Captain Commando (in that order). Ryu does his super fireball, anytime during it you can do QCF+PP to have Morrigan jump in and do her Soul Eraser or QCF+KK to have her do her Darkness Illusion. There are a few things to consider here, first off, you most likely would want to wait as long as possible before canceling to get the most out of Ryu's super. Then depending on how far the opponent is from you the Darkness Illusion may or may not connect. But you may want the Darkness Illusion over the Soul Eraser because you can cancel into CapCom's Captain Sword while she has them up there or maybe you want to do a Captain Storm after a Soul Eraser (Note: I'm not sure if these would actually connect, this is just a scenario I made up.) Some of these DHC's do insane damage (I know Guile-Captain America-Gambit has one that does 70-80% and 99% on Akuma and Strider.) These will most likely replace the duo team beating from MvC as the cheapest way to do damage. You can only do up to 3 super this way and Level 3 supers are included (this is probably why 5 levels of super is the max.) The last character doing this stays in. b. Crossover Counters (b, db, d + Assist 1 or 2) Another relatively safe way to switch your character. Works the same as previous, while blocking an attack do the motion (the assist button you use determines who comes out, Assist 1 for your middle character and Assist 2 for your bottom character) and you character will tag out and your partner will come and do an attack. D. Misc. Super canceling from the PSX EX games are now doable. Just do a special move and before the character recovers do that character's super. Push blocking is now done with the 2 Punch buttons and Super Jumping can be done with the 2 Kick buttons. There is no Easy Mode to pick from anymore (or at least the default settings don't have it.) Throws are harder to do off someone's jump-in attack. The announcer is very reminiscent of the Alpha 3 announcer. The music for the game is jazzy, elevator music sounding. The backgrounds are awesome, too bad it only make the characters look so much worse in comparison. You play 7 stages against the computer before reaching Abyss. There is only one universal ending for all characters. There are also no win quotes or pose points. The computer will use the hidden characters once they are unlocked, but not before. 4. Characters Key: QCF: fireball motion QCB: hurricane kick motion DP: dragon punch motion RDP: reverse dragon punch motion HCF: half circle forward HCB: half circle back Hunter aka zigzag Weak to Strong aka Stronger OTG: Off the ground A. New characters a. Amingo Moves: Daiti no Kodomo (grab): QCB + K Daiti no Kodomo (punch): QCF + Short Daiti no Kodomo (kick): QCF + Roundhouse Midori no Kanki: QCB + P Kaze no Sakeb: QCF + P (air) (rushing move) Supers: Shokubutsu no Okite (Law of Vegetation): QCB + PP Taiyou no Megumi (Sun's Blessing): QCF + KK Assists: A-Heal Type: he grows a vegetable, slow / Taiyou no Megumi B-Enhance Type: Defense Up plant / Taiyou no Megumi C-Balance Type: Midori no Kanki / Taiyou no Megumi Launcher: C.Strong and C.Forward Snapback: S.Fierce Ground Chain: Weak to Strong Air Chain: Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors (Hat/Pants): Jab: Blue/Yellow Fierce: Red/Blue A1: Purple/Yellow Short: Purple/Brown Roundhouse: Blue/Red A2: Red/Yellow His beanstalk super connects after his launchers. His maraca super seems useless for now as it does little damage and is blockable and kind of slow. He drops a plant on the ground and it goes across the screen. Supposedly if mashed right, it does a lot of damage. His normals are good as they have good range and hit multiple times. b. Anakaris Moves: Coffin Fall: d, d + P or K (air) Cobra Blow: b, f + P (air) Mummy Drop: QCF + P (air) Royal Curse: QCF + K in air Supers: Pharaoh Magic: Roundhouse, Jab, d, Short, Fierce Pharaoh Coffin Fall: d, d + PP Pharaoh Illusion: Jab, Jab, f, Short, Fierce Pharaoh Cobra Blow: b, f + PP Assists: A-Ground Type: Cobra Blow / Pharaoh Cobra Blow B-Throw Type: Mummy Drop / Pharaoh Illusion C-Variety Type: Coffin Fall / Pharaoh Magic Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Yellow/Blue Fierce: Green A1: Brown Short: Pink/Red Roundhouse: Red/Yellow A2: Monochrome Still have not gotten the hang of this guy. His Pharaoh Coffin Fall seems useless and his Pharaoh Cobra Blow seems blockable even after the opponent gets hit by the first wave of attack (it hurts assist characters when mashed though.) I read somewhere that timing the button presses is key to getting the most of out this super. His Pharaoh Illusion causes him to go into the background and you control his hands by using the attack buttons. Jab make the left hand hit sideways, Fierce makes the right hand hit sideways, Short makes the left hand hit downward and Roundhouse makes the right hand hit downward. You can still be hit while in this super. Weird character when compared to the rest of the cast. c. B.B. Hood Moves: Smiling Missile: Charge b, f + P or K Happy Missile: Charge d, u + P or K Shy Strike: QCB + P Cheer of Fire: DP + P (air) Supers: Cruel Hunting: QCF + PP Beautiful Memory: HCF + KK Apple For You: HCB + KK Assists: A-Projectile Type: Smiling Missile / Cruel Hunting B-Anti-Air Type: Cheer of Fire / Cruel Hunting C-Variety Type: Shy Strike / Cruel Hunting Launcher: S.Forward Snapback: f, f + Fierce Ground Chain: Hunter Air Chain: Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors: Jab: Red Fierce: Purple A1: Dk. Blue Short: Blue Roundhouse: White A2: Black She can double jump. Her Cruel Hunting does massive block damage. Fierce is good for jumping in on and her Roundhouse attacks are landmines that have good range and knocks the opponent away. Not sure if she's better as a keep away character or offensive character. d. Cable Moves: Viper Beam: QCF + P (air) Psimitar: DP + P Electro Trap: QCB + K (air) Psy Charge: HCB + P (rush punch): QCF + K Supers: Hyper Viper Beam: QCF + PP Time Flip: QCF + KK (can hit opponent while clone attacks) Assists: A-Projectile Type: Viper Beam / Hyper Viper Beam B-Anti-Air Type: Psimitar / Hyper Viper Beam C-Variety Type: Electro Trap / Hyper Viper Beam Launcher: S.Strong Snapback: S.Roundhouse Ground Chain: Weak to Strong Air Chain: Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Lt. Green A1: Dk. Green Short: Purple Roundhouse: Olive A2: Dk. Blue Primary a keep away character thanks to the long recovery after his projectile attacks. His Fierce make him shoot his gun, which can be canceled into Viper Beam, which if hits can be super canceled into his Hyper Viper Beam for insane damage. e. Felicia Moves: Delta Kick: DP + K (air) Rolling Buckler: QCF + P, P or K Sand Splash: QCF + K Cat Spike: DP + P Supers: Dancing Flash: QCF + PP Please Help Me: QCB + KK Hyper Sand Splash: QCF + KK Assists: A-Expansion Type: Delta Kick / Hyper Sand Splash B-Ground Type: Sand Splash / Hyper Sand Splash C-Variety Type: Cat Spike / Hyper Sand Splash Launcher: Snapback: C.Forward Ground Chain: Air Chain: Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors (hair/fur): Jab: Blue/White Fierce: Black/Orange A1: Grey/White Short: Red/White Roundhouse: White/Pink A2: Red/Black f. Guile Moves: Sonic Boom: Charge b, f + P Somersault Kick: Charge d, u + K (Air d, u + K) Supers: Sonic Hurricane: QCF + PP Somersault Strike: QCB + KK Crossfire Blitz: Air, QCF + KK Assists: A-Anti-Air Type: Somersault Kick / Somersault Strike B-Projectile Type: Sonic Boom / Sonic Hurricane C-Balance Type: Sonic Boom / Sonic Hurricane Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: f + Fierce Ground Chain: Weak to Strong Jumping Chain: Weak to Strong Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors: Jab: Olive Green Fierce: Grey A1: Olive Green w/tan Short: Purple Roundhouse: Brown A2: Purple w/tan All of Guile's super can be cancel into. On the ground you can chain anything into S.Fierce or S.Roundhouse into either super, preferably Sonic Hurricane. For his air combo he can connect with all 6 hits or can go into his air super. I use to do it after a Jab-Short-Strong-Forward chain, but it being blocked 25% of the time and he being open afterwards I just try do finish the chain which does almost the same damage and leads to an OTG in the corner. He can OTG after his Roundhouse air throw. His Somersault Kick, if blocked usually knocks the opponent too far away for them to hit him before he recovers. By far one of the better characters in the game so far. g. Hayato Moves: Siden: QCF + P Guren: DP + P (air) Plasma Combo: b + Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab Shirotora Hou: b, f + PP Supers: Rasetsu Slash: QCF + KK Crescent Moon: QCF + PP Plasma Field: QCB + KK (air) (Level 3): Jab, Fierce, b, Short, Roundhouse Assists: A-Expansion Type: Siden / Crescent Moon B-Anti-Air Type: Guren / Rasetsu Slash C-Balance Type: Siden / Rasetsu Slash Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Roundhouse (2nd hit) Ground Chain: Weak to Strong Air Chain: Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors: Jab: White/Grey Fierce: White/Red A1: Red Short: White/Blue Roundhouse: White/Brown A2: Black Think Strider mixed with Ryu. Not too great as his moves have enough recovery time for opponent to counter. Decent reach thanks to his sword. Plasma Field makes him turns bluish for a limited time and it gives him the ability to use supers without using meter when the bubble hits the opponent. This can be comboed in after his air combo-Guren. He can even do his Level 3 with less than 3 levels while it is in effect. There are variations of his Plasma Combo (b + Jab, Jab, Fierce, Roundhouse, Jab, Jab); (b + Fierce, Jab, Fierce, Jab, Fierce.) h. Jill ('?' next to Guile) Moves: Kinsetsu Sentou A (Close Combat A): QCF + P (air) (Fierce version can be held) Grenade Launcher: DP + P (can be held) Kinkyuu Kaihi A (Emergency Evasion A): QCB + K (Short for zombie that holds opponent, Roundhouse for exploding zombie) Kinkyuu Kaihi B (Emergency Evasion B): QCF + Short (dog) Kinkyuu Kaihi C (Emergency Evasion C): QCF + Roundhouse (bird) Ousen Shageki (Return Fire): HCB + P (Beretta counter-attack) Supers: Kinsetsu Sentou A+ (Close Combat A+): QCF + PP (air) Code: T-002: QCB + KK Rocket Launcher: QCF + KK Assists: A-Heal Type: Life Up herb, fast / Rocket Launcher B-Dash Type: Close Combat A / Close Combat A+ C-Projectile Type: Grenade Launcher / Rocket Launcher Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Roundhouse Ground Chain: Weak to Strong Air Chain: Weak to Strong Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Orange/Yellow A1: Brown/Grey Short: Pink Roundhouse: Blue-Green A2: Grey Mostly a pixie character though you can kind of set up a Captain Commando- like keep away game with her 'helpers.' She can combo into her charging super very easily on the ground and in the air after most moves. She has no limit on how many 'helper' attackers are on screen, so if you want she can have the dog, bird, a zombie, and an assist character onscreen at the same time. Her Grenade Launcher isn't much of a projectile and is more so anti-air. Her Rocket Launcher works kind of like Proton Cannon where if it hits as she brings it out, it'll connect fully, otherwise it is very avoidable (she even falls back afterwards like Chun-Li does in Pocket Fighter.) Her Tyrant super is insanely hard to hit with as you have to have the opponent the right distance from you, on or very close to the ground and not blocking. Right afterwards, you can do her Rocket Launcher to hit Tyrant into the opponent for a little more damage. Her zombies along with her animal attacks can be hit down, in fact you, your animal, and your assist character can knock your zombie over and it'll stay on the ground for a bit grabbing the opponent if they get near just like they do in the ResEvil series. Her zombies come in from behind you and keep moving forward really slowly. She can OTG after her Roundhouse either into Close Combat A or Short-C.Fierce-AC. Her Fierce Close Combat A can be charged much like Megaman's Mega Buster. Not really worth it as she loses her launcher and gets more recovery after the move. Holding down the button after the Grenade Launcher increases the range of it. i. Kobun Moves: Kobun Fire: QCF + P (air) (can be held) Call for Help (Rush!): QCB + Jab Call for Help (Seize!): QCB + Fierce Call for Help (Air!): QCB + K Robot Attack: QCF + K Supers: Lunch Rush: QCF + PP King Kobun: QCF + KK Assists: A-Projectile Type: Call For Help (Rush!) / Lunch Rush B-Anti-Air Type: Kobun Fire (up) / King Kobun C-Balance Type: Kobun Fire (forward) / Kobun 'Legion' Launcher: S.Roundhouse Snapback: C.Roundhouse Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Pink A1: Red Short: Black Roundhouse: Blue-green A2: Purple Wow, and you thought Roll was small. It is not as small as it looks as some moves that looks like it should miss, don't on it. Almost no range what-so-ever on most attacks. What Kobun does for his Lunch Rush depends on what his assist is. j. Marrow Moves: Boneerang: QCF + P (air) Towering Spine: DP + P Ricochet Slash: QCB + K Ride & Slash: HCB+P (air) Supers: Stinger Bones: QCF + PP Bone Buster: QCB + PP (air) Assists: A-Projectile Type: Boneerang / Bone Buster B-Anti-Air Type: Towering Spine / Bone Buster C-Expansion Type: Ricochet Slash / Stinger Bones Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Fierce Ground Chain: Hunter Air Chain: Super Jump Chain: Hunter Colors: Jab: Green Fierce: Lavender A1: Grey Short: Blue Roundhouse: Lt. Green A2: Purple A pixie character. Has a double jump. Her Boneerang stays in place for a bit and allows her to zone. Has the potential to replace Wolverine. k. Ruby Heart Moves: Schwarzalle: QCF + P (air) Sublimation: QCF + K Fantome: QCB + K (Anchor): HCB + P Supers: (Hyper Schwarzalle): QCF + PP (air) Barutoneeru: QCF + KK Miru Fantome: QCB + KK Tooru Do Maji: Roundhouse, Jab, d, Short, Fierce Assists: A-Anti-Air Type: Sublimation / Barutoneeru B-Capture Type: Fierce Anchor / Miru Fantome C-Enhance Type: Power Up / Hyper Schwarzalle Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Fierce Colors (Hair/Suit): Jab: Blonde/Blue Fierce: Pink/Brown A1: Blonde/Green Short: Grey/Blue Roundhouse: Grey/Olive A2: Red/Dk. Purple Her Schwarzalle and Hyper Schwarzalle can be redirected with a direction + P (up to 2 times for regular and I think 5 times for super.) Try to control it so you land safely. Her Tooru Do Maji is when she drops a barrel on you. It seems to be 'timing' super where you have to hit the right buttons at the right time to get the max damage out of it. l. Sonson Moves: Fuusetuzan (Wind-slash Beheading): Tap P (air) Sienbu (Little Monkey Dance): QCF + P (air) Seitenrengeki: DP + P (air) Supers: Tenchi Tsuukan (Pass Through Heaven and Earth): QCF + PP (air) Saruou (Monkey King): QCB + PP POW: QCF + KK Assists: A-Heal Type: Life Up fruit / Saruou B-Projectile Type: Sienbu / Saruou C-Anti-Air Type: Seitenrengeki / Tenchi Tsuukan Launcher: C.Roundhouse Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Red Fierce: Green A1: Pink Short: Yellow Roundhouse: Blue A2: Purple Money King super can do a lot of block damage with her fire breath. The stick super will hit the opponent with the stick on the way up. POW, well, it can be use against jump-ins but is risky otherwise very hard to connect and does too little damage. m. Tron ('?' next to Ryu) Moves: Command Shot: QCF + P Bonne Strike: QCF + K (air) Lunch Henchmen Charge: DP + P Supers: Lunch Rush: QCF + PP King Kobun: QCB + PP Assists: A-Throw Type: Fierce throw / Lunch Rush B-Anti-Air Type: S.Forward / King Kobun C-Projectile Type: C.Strong / King Kobun Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Green Fierce: Purple A1: Grey Short: Pink Roundhouse: Olive A2: Lt. Pink Her Command Shot is slow in coming out and if it hits, holds the opponent in place for a bit. Lunch Rush works kind of like Command Shot where she shoots the opponent to lock them in place for the rush. If you have the Lunch Rush as you team super, do it by doing a team super (Assist 1 + Assist 2) instead of QCF + PP, because the serve bots will come out even if you don't hit the opponent with the gun. A lot of her normals are like Jin's where they seem like special moves. B. Old characters a. Akuma Assists: A-Projectile Type: fireball / super fireball B-Anti-Air Type: dragon punch / super dragon punch C-Expansion Type: hurricane kick / super hurricane kick Snapback: f + Fierce Colors(Hair/Gi): Jab: Red/Black Fierce: Red/White A1: Blonde/Purple Short: White/Grey Roundhouse: Orange/Red A2: White Takes more damage yet again. But can play a good keep away game. Supposedly one of the better character as he has easy to do damaging combos (C.Short- C.Forward-Roundhouse hurricane kick-super air fireball) and can run. He has his hurricane kick super from the SF3 series (QCF + KK.) b. Blackheart Assists: A-Ground Type: Dark Thunder / Judgment Day B-Anti-Air Type: Inferno / Heart of Darkness C-Launcher Type: S.Strong / Armageddon Snapback: C.Strong Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Black A1: Purple Short: Lt. Blue Roundhouse: Dk. Blue A2: Dk. Purple Move list is unchanged from MvSF c. Cammy ('?' next to Strider) Assists: A-Anti-Air Type: Sonic Spike / Spin Drive Smasher B-Dash Type: Sonic Drill / Spin Drive Smasher C-Expansion Type: Spin Knuckle / Killer Bee Assault Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Lt. Blue Fierce: Dk. Blue A1: Magenta Short: Green Roundhouse: Pink A2: Black suited, pink-haired, deep tanned Cammy... She can air combo into her Killer Bee Assault after a Sonic Spike. She also gains her drill super from Alpha 3 (QCB + KK). d. Captain America Assists: A-Projectile Type: Jab Shield Slash / Hyper Charging Star B-Anti-Air Type: Stars & Stripes / Hyper Stars & Stripes C-Dash Type: Charging Star / Hyper Charging Star Snapback: S.Roundhouse Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Shiny Lt. Blue A1: Shiny Dk. Blue Short: Green Roundhouse: Shiny Grey A2: Dk. Blue Pretty much can be played the same as his MvC counterpart except for losing the S.Strong as anti-air. No ground level Shield Slash, Jab version goes strait ahead. His Jabx3 -> double jump air combo is still there; just that you have to time it now or else his Strong comes out. Still has Short-Forward-Hyper Stars and Stripes. His Dash Type assist is great in countering beam traps. e. Captain Commando Assists: A-Ground Type: Captain Fire / Captain Sword B-Anti-Air Type: Captain Corridor / Captain Sword C-Expansion Type: Captain Kick / Captain Sword Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Lt. Green A1: Black Short: Red Roundhouse: Gold A2: Pink He did not lose his Hoover/Baby helper. It can be done with QCF + Short + Fierce. Seems to play the same but it looks like he is easier to get in on now that you can abuse assist characters.

Her head stomp is (air) d + Roundhouse. You can no longer chain a Fierce or Roundhouse after her head stomp. Her air super from MvC seems to be gone now. h.

He's much improved over his MvSF counterpart; Mega Optic Blast does great block damage again and can be done in air now. Supposedly another good character because of keep away game with assists and his J.Roundhouse. Iceman kills him, as Iceman takes no block damage from most of his attacks. j. Dan Assists: A-Projectile Type: Gadoken / Shinkuu Gadoken B-Anti-Air Type: Koryuken / Koryurekka C-Variety Type: Premium Sign / Hisshou Burai Ken Snapback: S.Roundhouse Colors: Jab: Pink Fierce: Purple A1: Yellow Short: Orange Roundhouse: Lt.

Brown/Blue-green Short: White/Purple Roundhouse: Lavender/Yellow A2: Grey/Pink He can now chain his weak attacks to a strong attack. I guess this makes up for him losing his poking with Strong and Forward. l. Dr. Doom Moves: Plasma Beam: QCF + P (air) Photon Shot: HCB + P (air) Molecular Shield: HCB + K Flying: QCB + KK (air) Supers: Photon Array: HCB + PP (air) Electric Cage: QCF + PP Sphere Flame: QCF + KK Assists: A-Variety Type: Photon Shot / Photon Array B-Anti-Air Type: Molecular Shield / Sphere Flame C-Projectile Type: Plasma Beam / Electric Cage Launcher: C.Fierce, S.Forward Snapback: S.Strong Colors: Jab: Blue-green Fierce: Dk.

His Electric Cage looks sort of like Chun-Li's super puffball only it moves forward as a small fireball and then gets bigger when it hits. m.

Bluish A1: Greenish Short: Also Bluish Roundhouse: Pinkish A2: Also Greenish No block damage from most 'energy' projectile attacks, another insane keep away game (starting to see pattern here?), and a fast dash is making him one of the best characters so far. He only seems to have one super, Arctic Attack (QCF + PP) but it can be easily combo off his air combo or S.Fierce. Ice Beam is a very good assist as it nullifies any of you opponent's and their assist's projectiles. I have no idea what doing Ice Fist adds to you. p. Iron Man Assists: A-Projectile Type: Unibeam / Proton Cannon B-Anti-Air Type: Repulsor Blast / Proton Cannon C-Launcher Type: / Proton Cannon Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Red/Yellow Fierce: Red/Orange A1: Red/White Short: Blue/Yellow Roundhouse: Red/Lavender A2: Orange/Lt.

It can be done like Captain Commando's Hoover which requires two button. Life absorb coil still gives you back more life than you have in red, but it is really little. His supers have been changed in their motion to QCB + PP for both. QCF + PP gives you the coil that goes upward. The same applies for his kick attack; QCF + KK goes upward. y. Psylocke ('?' above Cyclops) Assists: A-Anti-Air Type: Roundhouse Psi Blade / Psi Maelstrom B-Projectile Type: Jab Psi Blast / Kochou Gakure C-Balance Type: Jab Psi Blast / Psi Thrust Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Blue Fierce: Pink A1: Lt.

She can do the full Hunter series into her C.Fierce launcher on almost everybody. The better players here have been super canceling her Psi Blade into her Kochou Gakure to finish her air combos. Her Ninjitsu Teleport only goes to 4 places on the screen now. z.

Green/Yellow No longer does the opponent's move when she absorbs their powers. She now gets enhancements, such as Power-up from Juggernaut and Hulk, or Speed-up from Wolverine. Supposedly annoying when she has Speed enhancement. She also has Meter-up, Life-up, and Defense-up. She might have an infinite while she has Speed-up. aa.

Air comboing into the super fireball is also easier to do. His Snapback is his overhead. Shin-Shoryuken now uses 3 Levels. cc.

Chaos Dimension hurts a lot and you can OTG afterwards. He can also do his Hyper Mystic Smash (QCF + KK) gg. Silver Samurai Moves: Shuriken: QCF + P (air) Repeating Slash: Tap P (f, f to run forward) Supers: Triple Shuriken: QCF + PP (air with Sword Power-up Thunder) RaiMeiKen: QCF + KK (Sword Power-up-Lightning): QCB + P (Sword Power-up-Ice): QCB + Short (Sword Power-up-Flame): QCB + Roundhouse Assists: A-Ground Type: Repeating Slash / Hyper Repeating Slash B-Projectile Type: Shuriken / Triple Shuriken C-Launcher Type: C.Fierce / RaiMeiKen Snapback: S.Forward Colors: Jab: Blue-grey Fierce: Silver A1: Black Short: Dull Grey Roundhouse: Tan A2: Lt. Grey Shuriken is controllable with u and d on the controller. The Triple Shuriken chips for good damage. Lightning gives him more speed and allows him to do the Triple Shuriken in the air. Fire gives him more power and QCB + KK will do a fire column. Ice gives him armor and QCB + KK will do a ground ice super which has to be blocked low. hh. Spider-Man Assists: A-Capture Type: Web Ball / Crawler Assault B-Expansion Type: Web Swing / Crawler Assault C-Anti-Air Type: Spider Sting / Crawler Assault Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Orange/Lt.

Strider Hiryu Assists: A-Ground Type: (rainbow slash) / Legion B-Variety Type: Vajra (teleport kick) / Legion C-Projectile Type: (bird) / Legion Snapback: S.Roundhouse Colors: Jab: Lavender/Red Fierce: Green/Orange A1: Grey/White Short: Tan/Red Roundhouse: Brown/Orange A2: Red/White Ohh, let's see... now that the Strong and Forward buttons are gone, he can no longer poke with those. His S.Fierce and S.Roundhouse now knocks the enemy up a bit and away so his Roundhouse no longer connects afterwards. His Ouroboros does not last as long and you cannot do a super while in it, except maybe DHC during the start-up, which is mostly a waste. He has a lot more recovery after Legion. One can now easily Super Jump over the whole thing and land behind him with time to hit him. A lot of people say that his assists all suck, but someone here manage to do well with his teleport kick assist, just make sure you keep his ass covered afterwards cause he take damage like Akuma. ll. Thanos Moves: Titan Crush: QCF + P (air) Death Sphere: QCF + K Supers: Gauntlet Power: QCF + PP (rolling ball) Gauntlet Reality: QCB + PP (two slabs of rock) Gauntlet Space: QCF + KK (rock shower) Gauntlet Soul: QCB + KK (health drain) Assists: A-Capture Type: Death Sphere / Gauntlet Power B-Dash Type: Titan Crush / Gauntlet Reality C-Launcher Type: / Gauntlet Space Launcher: C.Fierce Snapback: S.Roundhouse Colors: Jab: Lt.

Blue RH: Green A2: Grey Seems to be better as his Venom Fang seems to do more damage. His Alpha assist is mad cheasy, just make sure to cover him when he taunts after he does it. His air combo is harder to do for some reason, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. He is supposedly easier to play now. Can combo Venom Bite after S.Forward. nn. War Machine Assists: A-Projectile Type: Shoulder Cannon / Proton Cannon B-Anti-Air Type: Repulsor Blast / War Destroyer C-Variety Type: Smart Bomb / War Destroyer Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Grey/White Fierce: Green/White A1: Blue/Tan Short: Blue/White Roundhouse: Dk. Blue/White A2: Dk. Grey/White He has the moves of GWM from MvC (missiles instead of beams.) Much faster on this projectile attacks. No more canceling after the knee dive and no more refly. oo. Wolverine Assists: A-Expansion Type: Berserker Barrage - Berserker Barrage X B-Anti-Air Type: Tornado Claw / Fatal Claw C-Dash Type: Drill Claw / Fatal Claw Snapback: S.Fierce Colors (Gloves & Boots): Jab: Blue Fierce: Purple A1: Green Short: Tan Roundhouse: Lt. Blue A2: Dk. Purple Ouch, he has lost a lot. He is slower, his Drill Claw is slower, it is much harder to combo into his supers (Jab-Short-Strong-BBX seems to be it for now), his dive kick no longer cancels into Roundhouse nor another divekick. He can still pressure, but the rewards are not as high anymore and with assist characters the risks are greater. Berserker Rage is now done with QCF + KK. pp. Wolverine-2 (aka LAW, Bonerine) Assists: A-Ground Type: S.Fierce B-Launcher Type: S.Roundhouse C-Variety Type: df + Fierce Snapback: S.Fierce Colors(Gloves & Boots): Jab: Blue Fierce: Brown A1: Dk. Purple Short: Tan RH: Black A2: Dk. Brown He loses some moves (Fatal Claw, Berserker Claw, and Berserker Rage) and gains the ability to do Tornado Claw in air. He has better range on his Jab thanks to his longer claws, C.Forward does not knock down and his dive kick is XvSF style. qq. Zangief Assists: A-Ground Type: Lariat / Hyper Lariat B-Throw Type: Running Bear Grab / Hyper Lariat C-Air Throw Type: Aerial Russian Slam / Hyper Lariat Snapback: S.Fierce Colors: Jab: Red Fierce: Pink A1: White w/black skin Short: Blue Roundhouse: Black A2: Yellow w/black skin He no longer has his Triple Option. If you don't know what that is then you shouldn't be using him in the first place. His old Strong throw is now a command motion (QCB + Jab.) But missing it means getting his Elbow Drop. His Spinning Piledriver does a lot more damage, about 20-30%, but with a game full of unlimited helpers that cannot be thrown, he is gonna have a hard time getting in to do it. When he is in his Iron Body mode, he is much quicker now. And his Hyper Lariat that he does during team supers is doable. Just press both Assist buttons when you only have 1 level of super meter or when he is the last character. C. Abyss From what I can remember, he is one of the sons of Apocalypse and appeared during the War of the Gems saga. The boss of the game now comes in 3 forms and each has hyper armor. His first form is kind of like Onslaught's first form but much slower and telegraphs his attacks. He has moves like Onslaught (the charge, the beam) and a hail storm-like attack. After he is defeated, he melts into a small green thing which mostly uses projectile attacks and will catch you off guard once in a while as you attack him. His third form is kind of like a huge Venom as he does his Venom Fang and creepy as he is the stage and will keep going offscreen. The black ball floating around is hittable. This form is easy if you have a super that hit a lot and can connect with it. Acknowledgements: ---------------- Many thanks to DannyCat for all the translations he has done and info he has provided.
