Unlocking characters
To unlock all the characters, you must use your most
recently received characters at least once in arcade mode to continue
unlocking new ones.
Akuma: Demon Rage
When at level 3, press "LP"(2), [Right],
"LK", "HP". This is a technical move.
Cable: Defeating Son Son
Select Cable. When Son Son does her super into a big
monkey, quickly do Cable's Hyper Viper on her. It will do 50%
to 75% damage.
Cable: Taunt
Keep pressing "Taunt" when you are Cable. He will
practically keep spinning his pistol as long as he is not attacked.
Dan: Super Taunt
Note: This takes one level of your HC Gauge. While
holding "LK", perform two quarter circles [Forward],
then press [Start]. It does no damage, but is funny to watch.
It is basically two and a quarter circles and the "Taunt"
button.
Dhalsim: Control Yoga Flame
Choose Dhalsim and any other two characters. Get the
H.C. meter gauge higher then level 1, then do Dhalsim's Yoga Flame.
You can change direction of the flame by pressing [Up] or
[Down].
Hayato: Profile
Hayato's plasma combo variations make him a strong
combo player, but most special moves lack quick recovery time
and leave him wide open for an opponent to counter. Hayato's sword
gives him decent reach, but only an above -average to expert player
should select him up for assist type -- use his expansion type.
Hayato: Combos
Thirteen-Hit Plasma -Sword Combo: Get your hyper gauge to level
one. Jump in deep, press "LP", while still in the air press
"LK","LP", "LK", "HP", [Down], [Down/Right],
"HP", [Down], [Down/Right] ["LP," "HP"]
for seven hits.
Dark Knight: Get your special bar up to three, then press "LP",
"HP", [Back], "LK", "HK" quickly. Do this
when no more than half a screen away from your opponent. This
special can take up to one half life alone.
Hayato has three basic combo skills that can be used in the game.
No combo gauges will be used when the skills are used. Either
press [Left], "LP", "LP", "LP", "LP";
or [Left], "LP", "LP", "LP", "HK", "LP",
"LP"; or [Left], "HP", "LP", "HP", "HP",
"HP".
San San: One hit kill on Spider-Man
Use San San's Eating special and have the damage on
high. Spider-Man can be defeated with one special.
Tyrant: Blow him up
Send out the Tyrant. After he is done with his combo
and starts yelling, press the combo for her rocket launcher and
he will explode.
Wolverine: Longer Berserker Claw
When playing as Wolverine and you are about to yse
Berserker Claw, execute it with "HP" and tap it repeatedly.
Note: The attack will not work every time you execute a Berserker
Claw in fight. After doing a Berserker Claw, wait awhile, then
do it again. It will not work two times in a row.
Stronger combos
While Team Hyper Combos are easy and powerful, delayed
combos are at most times much more powerful, though they are much
more difficult due to timing it to where you get the maximum power.
For example, with Megaman, War Machine, and Iron Man, if you do
their team combo it will do about a 40 to 60 hit combo; On the
other hand, if you do each of their combos delayed and execute
it correctly, you should be able to get from 75 to over 100 hits
with one solid shot. In order to do a delayed Hyper Combo, have
your first character do their combo. Then as they are doing the
Hyper Combo execute your next character's Hyper Combo. Then while
that one is executing, use your third character's Hyper Combo.
It is all about timing and may require some practice.
Over 80-hit combo
Select Cable, B.B.Hood, and War Machine. Use all their
specials at once and it may do 80 to 184 hits.
Over 86-hit combo
Choose Tronne Bonne, Servbot, and Guile. Have level
a 3 meter and have Guile in play. Press [L] + [R] to
do a combo doing 86 to 160 hits.
100-hit combo
Select Cable first, then Iron Man and BB Hood. Use
a level 3 combo for 100 hits.
110-hit combo
At the character selection screen, choose Cable, Gambit,
and B.B Hood. You will have to unlock B.B Hood and Gambit by buying
them in the Secret Factor. During arcade mode, get up to at least
to level 3 or higher. Do their Hyper Combo specials. This combo
will do at least 110 hits and a lot of damage. It works better
when you are close to your opponent.
114-hit combo
Select Gambit, Iron Man, and War Machine, then get
a level 3 hyper combo gauge and do all their hyper combos ([L]
+ [R]). It should do a 114-hit combo. If not, try starting
the Hyper Combo with another person.
115-hit combo
Select Cable, T. Bonne, and Chalsm (in that order),
then get the level gauge up to at least 3. Do a hyper combo and
it will unleash a powerful blow. Note: Try to keep the enemy on
the ground. Also, this will not work every time. It will happen
about half of the time.
126-hit combo
Select War Machine, Iron Man, and B.B. Hood, then get
at least a level 3 gauge. Press [L] + [R] to do a hyper
combo and will unleash a powerful blast. Also, try to keep the
enemy on the ground. The combo should do at least 126 and sometimes
up to 140 hits.
200-hit combo
Choose Cable, Iron Man, and B.B. Hood and get your
level 3 hyper combo (usually with punches in the air). Wait until
your opponent gets a striker out, then use the hyper combo. The
combo should do at least 150-220 hits.
Unlimited chain supers
Note: This trick only works in training mode. Set the
combo gauge to infinity in the training menu. Then, start a super
and start another one. This can be done an unlimited amount of
times. This works best with characters who have beam supers.
Easy special
When your special meter is at 3 or higher, press [L]
+ [R] to do any character's special.
Easy points
You can get ten points a minute if you go to training
mode, choose a character and opponent, then leave the game on
for about five hours. Note: Do not pause the game.
Plug in a second controller, go to options, change the time to
30 seconds, and turn up the damage. Go to versus mode, turn the
handicap down on controller two, and fight. You will get 100 points
for each match.
To get easy points in arcade mode, fight up to Abyss in any difficulty
on high damage. Your best difficulty setting is recommended. Once
at Abyss, intentionally die on purpose multiple times. Continue,
then die again. You will get 100 points every time a continue
is used. When you finally choose to defeat Abyss, you will also
get 50 points times the difficulty setting.
Enter the options screen. Select "Game Option" and set
your difficulty bar high, choose the Turbo 2 speed, and have unlimited
time. Put the damage bar on high. Go to arcade mode and choose
any character with Cable (for example, War Machine, B.B. Hood,
and Cable). When you begin at the first stage, make sure Cable's
out first. Keep shooting with the pistol until your third opponent's
life bar is half full. At this time your level gauge should be
past 3. Use it at the correct moment and you will see more than
80 hit(s), plus the Perfect. You now have more than 300,000,000
points. Repeat this for the rest of the game .When you get to
Abyss, be sure not to have him defeat one of your characters.
Just keep shooting Cable's pistol until you get to his last form.
On his final form, when Abyss shows up again, make sure your level
gauge is at 3 or more to blast away.
Use the following trick to get Perfects nine times out of ten
in arcade mode. Enter the options screen and choose any difficulty
(Boss is easy on any difficulty). Set the timer to 30 seconds.
In arcade mode, choose Chun-Li first and any characters after
her. Set the game match to easy and on turbo. Hold [Right]
+ [A] (her fast kick) before the match starts. She will move
next to the opponent, the match will start, hit the opponent (even
though they may block). and continue to kick. The opponent will
simply block for remaining time and the single blocked hit will
let you win. You can simply hold [Right] [A] the entire
time to easily win all seven matches up to the Boss without paying
attention for over 2,000 points.
Start an arcade mode game with the damage on very high. Have player
two interrupt your game. Defeat the second player. This should
take about eighteen seconds. Keep interrupting. Every time you
get interrupted and win, it is just as if you had the match for
that stage, and you will get that many points. For example, if
you get ten wins and quit, you should get about 2,500 points.
If you get ten wins and complete the game, you should get about
6,000 points. Continue this until you have as many points as desired.
Choose Cable, War Machine, and Iron Man (in that order). When
your point bar gets to the maximum, press [L] + [R]
to make them use their combo. This combo defeats your opponent
in almost one move.
Easy win
Go to the options screen, then change the difficulty
to "1" and change the damage meter to all the way up.
This works very well on the last stage.
90% damage
Choose Iron Man, War Machine, and Cable as your team,
and make sure you choose projectile as their ability. Charge your
super meter higher then 3, and press [L] + [R] (default
for partner A and B actions). The result should be all three of
your team members will use their projectile super move, which
will take care of the opposition provided they do not block. Note:
An advanced part of this trick is to wait until your opponent
uses his partner in battle, then use the attack. The result is
devastating.
Choose Juggernaut, Hulk, and Colossus to fight. Get to level 3
or maximum. When you use the hyper combo for all three at once
([L] + [R]), Juggernaut should push your opponent's
character to the corner. Then Colossus and The Hulk should come
down from the sky to finish the job. Sometimes this may fully
kill your opponent.
95% damage
Depending on the damage level, the following trick
may also result in a one hit kill. If set on 3 or maximum, it
will result in a one hit kill. If set on 2, it will be a 95% damage
attack. Choose Spiral, Hayato, and Silver Samurai. Get to level
3 or more to use the hyper combo for all of them ([L] + [R]).
Have Spiral out first, then get 3 or maximum level. Yse the hyper
combo and they all should come out and do their moves. Hayato
should do the attack where he hits the ground and energy beams
appear. Spiral should do the attack where she changes into every
character and hits the opponent. Then, Silver Samurai should appear
and slash at the opponent.
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.
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.
Defeating blocking opponents
Select Cable as your first character with Dr. Doom
with Anti-Air Assist as your partner. Keep using Cable's Pistol
and Dr. Doom's Assist move at the same time. Your opponent's life
gauge will decrease.
