FAQ/Movelist v1.21
by Moriya
=============================================================================
===============================================================================
Up to version 0.6, this FAQ was just a compilation of contributed
information. After that, everything was tested and corrected.
Some parts of this FAQ will keep constantly being updated though.
This version (1.21) is very incomplete. Since I'm not having a lot of free
time to work on the FAQ lately, and hadn't updated it in a long time, I
decided to do so now even with an incomplete work just to give me some more
time to finish it later. It'll probably be done by the next month or so, or at
least that's what I plan to do. I hope you all understand it. =)

is due to gain its 1.0 version as soon as I have access to it.
(October 20, 2002) Version 0.5
- Some updates. Info on most Hidden SDMs was added. And the code to select
Kusanagi was changed AGAIN. Very few unconfirmed info remains.
(November 20, 2002) Version 0.6
- Big update. Some layout changes, and some corrections/additions to the
movelists. A list showing all of the basic system actions and their costs was
added. A new Super Cancelable Moves box was added in each character's
movelist. Info on the new music system was added (thanks again, TTW).
(December 19, 2002) Version 1.0
- Initial release. NOW the hard work begins. Wrong info is being corrected,
new info is being added. Rugal movelist has been added.
(December 23, 2002) Version 1.01
- Small updates.
(December 29, 2002) Version 1.1
- A BIG clean-up has started. A new MAX Mode Cancelable Moves list has been
added on each character's movelist (under construction). Many updates on
existing info.
(January 04, 2003) Version 1.2
- More cleaning up. Many updates on existing info. A new Color Information
section has been added, showing information on all the colors for all the
characters.
(February 08, 2003) Version 1.21
- A Chart of Characters was added, related to the KOF series in general, just
as a source of random useless information. =)
- The MAX Mode Cancelable Into moves section was added under each character's
movelist, but I've only had time to test up to Blue Mary, so the list will
still be blank for everyone starting from Billy Kane. It will (obviously) be
fixed later, when I have more free time.

2. THE SYSTEM
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= Basic System =-
------------
Terminology:
f - forward b - back
u - up d - down
(forward refers to right if your character is facing right, and left if
your character is facing left; back is the opposite direction)
ub - up-back uf - up-forward
db - down-back df - down-forward
qcf - quarter circle front (d,df,f)
qcb - quarter circle back (d,db,B)
hcf - half circle front (b,db,d,df,f)
hcb - half circle back (f,df,d,db,B)
A - Light Punch C - Heavy Punch
B - Light Kick D - Heavy Kick
Start - Taunt/Provocation.
Press ub, u or uf rapidly to perform a hop.
Press ub, u or uf holding the button for a short while to perform a jump.
Press db,uf or df,ub; or jump while running to perform a high jump.
f,f : Run (keep holding f to keep running).
b,b : Backstep.
b while being : Block. This greatly reduces the damage an enemy does to
attacked you, but you cannot be performing any other action while
blocking, and it cannot be done in the air.
b/f + C/D while : Throw escape. Note that only normal throws can be escaped,
being thrown and you must use the same button that the opponent used to
throw you. Some normal throws are not escapable at all.
AB : Emergency Evasion (your character rolls forward; he/she is
almost invincible while rolling, being only affected by
throws).
b + AB : Emergency Evasion (exactly like the normal one, except that
your character rolls back).
AB while : Guard Cancel. Your character will cancel the blocking
blocking animation and roll back for his/her safety. This will cost
one power stock.
AB during a : Roll Buffering. Your character will cancel whichever
normal/special attack he/she is performing (even a CD Guard Cancel) and
move roll. This will cost one power stock.
AB after being : Recovery Roll. You roll instead of being actually knocked
knocked down down. It saves time. Note that it can't be done after
certain moves.
BC : Activate MAX Mode. While on MAX Mode, your character can
perform SDMs for the cost of one extra stock, or DMs for
free. If either is performed, though, MAX Mode ends
immediately. Otherwise, it lasts for the length of a small
time bar. While on MAX Mode, your character can also cancel
normal/special moves into some other moves, but doing so
will deplete about 1/4 of the time bar, thus making the mode
end earlier (and assuring that you can only cancel about 4
or 5 moves). And there's more to MAX Mode: during it, the
damage your character inflicts is reduced in about 25%.
Activating MAX Mode costs one power stock.
BC during a : MAX Mode Buffering. Your character will cancel whichever
normal move normal attack he/she is performing and activate MAX Mode.
This can save time as it immediatly removes the rest of the
recovery time (so you can use it to extend some combos).
This will cost one more power stock (besides the power
stock already necessary to activate MAX Mode).
CD : Heavy Attack (this attack always knocks the opponent down,
and can be performed in the air, but not while crouching).
CD while : Guard Cancel. Your character will cancel the blocking
blocking animation and counter the opponent with a CD attack. This
will cost one power stock and knock the opponent down,
causing him/her some damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= What is changed from KOF2001, in the system: =-
--------------------------------------------
- The strikers are gone.
- Teams consist on 3 members, like KOF94-98. No more ratio system, only teams
with three fighters each.
- Super cancelling still exists, for some moves.
- Critical Wire is gone. Only Counter Wire remains.
- Throws cause the same damage they did in KOF98.
- Guard Cancel with CD damages the opponent.
- Just like in KOF98, every character on your team can hold a different amount
of power stocks: the first can hold up to 3 stocks; the second, up to 4; and
the third, up to 5.
- To perform DMs, you must have one power stock. Doing so will deplete the
stock. You can also perform a DM while you're in MAX Mode, but doing so
will finish MAX Mode (without depleting any extra stock).
- To perform SDMs, you must be in MAX Mode and have at least one power stock
remaining. Doing so will finish MAX Mode and deplete the extra stock.
- To perform HSDMs, you must be in MAX Mode, with 1/4 of your life (or
less) remaining, and have one extra power stock. Doing so will finish
MAX Mode and deplete the extra stock.
- The life meter of your character will flash when he's about to be guard
crushed.
- During CPU matches, you can choose one of two teams to fight against.
- When performing SDMs, instead of having the usual white flash and then a
negative background, now there is a red flash instead of a white one, and
there is no more negative background.
- When performing HSDMs, instead of a white or a red flash, there is a yellow
flash. While the HSDM is being performed, the background is blue with
horizontal white lines (the same as K9999's SDM in KOF2001). The only
exceptions to this are:
. Chang, no background (all black)
. Iori, red "Orochi Iori" background
. Orochi Yashiro, lots of lava
. Orochi Shermie, some dark clouds
. Orochi Chris, green "bright light" background
. Kula, her old "blue ice" background for a short while
. K9999, no background (all white)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= In a nutshell: =-
--------------
Action -=- Cost
------------------------------------ -=+=- ------------------------------------
Roll - None
Recovery Roll - None
Guard Cancel (Roll) - 1 power stock
Cancel a move into a Roll - 1 power stock
Guard Cancel (CD) - 1 power stock
Perform DM - 1 power stock
Supercancel a move into a DM - 2 power stocks
Activate MAX Mode - 1 power stock
Cancel a move into MAX Mode - 2 power stocks
Cancel move into move during MAX Mode - 1/4 of the MAX Mode bar
Perform a DM during MAX Mode - the MAX Mode bar
Perform a SDM (must be in MAX Mode) - 1 power stock and the MAX Mode bar
Supercancel a move into a SDM (must
be in MAX Mode) - 2 power stocks and the MAX Mode bar
Perform a HSDM (must be in MAX Mode
and have 1/4 or less life remaining) - 1 power stock and the MAX Mode bar

=============================================================================
3. THE MOVELIST
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Under each character's movelist there is a small box showing whatever has
changed on their movelists from KOF2001 (or their latest KOF game) to KOF2002.
Then, there is a small chart showing the cancelable normals of that
character. It is pretty self-explanatory. The numbers that will appear
sometimes show in which hit that normal can be canceled. An (*) means that the
move can be canceled during any hit (only for multi-hit normals, obviously).
Example of chart:
[ CANCELABLE NORMALS ]
stand A(*) stand B stand C(2) stand D
crouch A --- crouch C crouch D(1)
far C far D
On this example, the character can cancel his stand A in any hit. He can only
cancel his stand C on the second hit, and his crouching D on the first hit. He
cannot cancel his crouch B at all (since it's not listed).
-=-
There is also a Command Cancelability chart.
The symbol before the command indicates if it can be linked from a normal:
-> means that you can link a normal into the command, and must do so in order
to cancel it;
#> means that you can link a normal into the command, but don't have to that
in order to cancel it (it's optional);
. means that you can't link a normal into the command.
The symbol after the command indicates if it can be canceled into a move/DM:
-> means that the command can be canceled into a move/DM;
. means that the command can't be canceled into a move/DM.
NOTE: Ralf and Mature don't have any commands, so they don't have this chart.
-=-
After the Command Cancelability chart, there is a Super Cancelable Moves
list. It simply shows which moves of that character can be super canceled (that
is, canceled directly into a DM/SDM, with an additional cost of 1 stock).
-=-
Following it, there is a "MAX Mode Cancelable Moves" list, that shows
which commands and special moves of that character can be canceled into other
special moves during MAX Mode.
Right under it, there is another list entitled "'Cancelable Into' Moves",
that shows which moves can be 'canceled into' during MAX Mode (i.e, you can
cancel a MAX Mode Cancelable move into any 'cancelable into' move during MAX
Mode). An asterisk (*) will be in front of the move name if it's also a MAX
Mode Cancelable Move.
By the way, it's good to remember that a move can never be canceled
into the same move.
-=-
After that, there is a "Command Attributes" and a "Move Attributes" list.
They show the special properties of the character's commands and moves.
Some characters also have a "Normal Attributes" list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-= Command Attributes: =-
-------------------
NOTE: whenever a command is canceled into (i.e, you link normal into it),
it loses all of its attributes. There are some exceptions to this, though,
like Vanessa's One-Two Puncher.
- Overhead: this command cannot be blocked by a crouching opponent.
- Hits low: this attack annot be blocked by a standing opponent.
- Parry: this command is used to block incoming attacks, you will take no
damage if attacked while performing it.
- Knockdown: this command will knock the opponent down.
- Autoguard: this command has some frames where it cannot be interrupted by
enemy attacks. Your character automatically takes block damage if attacked
during Autoguard frames, and his/her command doesn't stop (normally hitting
the opponent after that).
- Cross Up: this command will succesfuly connect while your character is
jumping over the enemy, hitting on his/her opposite side. It works as an
excellent combo starter.
-= Move Attributes: =-
----------------
NOTE: DMs, SDMs and HSDMs may also be listed here. They'll be identified
with brackets, like this:
[DM] Move : the DM has that attribute
[SDM] Move : the SDM has that attribute
[S/DM] Move : both the DM and SDM versions of this move have that attribute
[HSDM] Move : the HSDM has that attribute
- Overhead: this attack cannot be blocked by a crouching opponent.
- Hits low: this attack annot be blocked by a standing opponent.
- Unblockable: this attack cannot be blocked at all.
- Counter: when you execute this move, your character will be in a certain
stance for a few seconds. If the enemy hits him during that stance, your
character will take no damage and immediately counter the enemy attack with
an attack of his own.
- Autoguard: this move has some frames (usually in the beginning) where it
cannot be interrupted by enemy attacks. Your character automatically takes
block damage if attacked during Autoguard frames, and his/her move doesn't
stop (normally hitting the opponent after that).
- Invincibility: while performing this move, your character (or just a part of
him/her) becomes totally invincible against enemy attacks.
- Counter Wire: during counter hits (when your move hits the opponent while
he is also attacking you), this move will make your opponent be launched to
the opposing wall and bounce back, allowing you to perform additional
attacks.
- Mobility: you can move (in a limited fashion) while performing this move.
- Knockdown: this move will knock the opponent down and will not allow him/
her to use a Recovery Roll.
- Knockdown Projectile: this projectile will knock the opponent down.
- Reflects Projectiles: if a projectile hits you while performing this move,
it will be reflected back to your opponent.
- Negates Projectiles: this move makes enemy projectiles vanish.
- Recovers life: this move makes you recover some life energy back.
- Guard Crush: if this move hits a blocking opponent, it will drop his/her
guard, leaving him/her open for attacks for a few moments.
