Larger form: Aim for the head , try to get two hits maximum. This will probably stun him. Ryu's Air Hadoken super works well, as well as Wolverine's Fatal Claw super and Mega Man's Hyper Mega-Man super (or his jumping HP). Chun-Li 's Kikou-Shou works best when you are at level 3. Use three of those supers to hit him hard . You must position yourself below his head, though.

Hint: Blow up Tyrant:
Note: You must have a level two super bar and Jill must be out for this trick. Use her Tyrant Super. Right before Tyrant leaves use her Rocket Launcher Super. If timed correctly you will blow up Tyrant in a very humorous fashion. Note: Blowing up Tyrant gives no extra bonuses, damage, or points.

Hint: One hit kill:
Choose Juggernaut, Iron Man, and BB Hood (in that order). Put them all on their recommended assist types. Get 3 Hyper Combo bars and link them all together (L=R). It should kill the opponent in one hit. This move was tested on Cable, a medium damage taker.

Choose Juggernaut, Incredible Hulk, and Zangeif. When at level 3, let Juggernaut be your active character, get very close, and press L + R to make them all do their hyper combos. This will instantly kill your opponent's character. Note: This attack best works when your opponent is in a corner.

Hint: Breaking the house in the clock tower stage:
In the clock tower stage, use Spider-Man's special of flying kicks and punches when the opponent has low life so when he dies he can break the house. Note: You have to make sure that Spider-Man pushes him to the right.

You can also break the house in the clock tower stage with Juggernaut using his Juggernaut Punch. You must push your enemy to the right when the enemy has little life remaining.

Glitch: Misspelling:

Glitch: Gambit: Sent up wall:
Select Gambit and any other two characters. Enter a match and keep fighting until you are sure that you have more life than the opponent. Then, do a Snapback With Assist 2 (QCF + R) with Gambit. Then have Gambit do his Cajun Strike towards the left wall (Hold Down then press Up/Left + HK. Gambit will go flying to the left wall and then go straight up it. You cannot get Gambit down -- if you try to teleport with Spiral she will get hurt.

Glitch: Venom and B.B. Hood:
Have player one select Venom, B.B. Hood, and a character of their choice. Player two can be any character. Have player one perform Venom's web super (QCF, PP). While the opponent is still in the "web", cancel into B.B. Hood's HCF KK super.
