The King of Fighters '99 : "The Millenium Battle" Advanced FAQ is created by
Triste (not a real name, merely a name that I prefer people on the internet
refer me as).

This FAQ can be used (as in, its contents and my statements) in another FAQ or
used in a homepage. It is not allowed to be used for commercial purposes. If
you don't know what that's supposed to be, that's when you try to use the
information in this FAQ in a magazine or paysites.

Another thing; this is _not_ a mere copy of Kao Megura's FAQ!! The information
gleaned in this FAQ is gained directly from SNK (one way or the other), and
I write the move names that I assume is correct. But, there're no Biodatas
here. I've decided to take 'em off because the information around the world are
pretty damn varied, amazingly.

The quotes are (mostly) taken straight from the KOF'99 Original Soundtrack :
Disc 2, and are written in what I believe is the correct spelling. If you have
any idea as to what it is supposed to spell and / or the meanings, please do
not hesitate to correct me. Any help are appreciated and will be credited
accordingly!

And, I hate plagiarism...so I try not to do it too. Any similarities of names
and terms are incidental. Great minds think alike, maybe. Enjoy!

* CHAPTER 01 : FOREWORD
===============================================================================

What? FAQs don't usually have forewords?
  I'll try to make this brief. First, read that notice right underneath the
title. My name is Triste, and this FAQ's use is to make sure you don't embarass
yourself (at the least) in public playing KOF'99.
    It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but at least you won't lose without
a fight. Well, that's the whole purpose of this FAQ. You may find some stuff
I've found out interesting.
    By the way...e-mail me if you spot anything wrong. I can't update the FAQ
if I keep on making mistakes; and tell me if you found some new combo or
whatever okay? Thanks.

construction is well under way. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of

                       the move.
  'Earthquake'       - there is some sort of earthquake when the move is
                       activated, and must be blocked low.
  Evades ...         - the move evades ... when it is activated.
  Hits low           - must be blocked low on the (X) hit of the move.
                     - if not accompanied with (X), then the whole move hits
                       low.
  Juggles            - hits your enemy into the air on the (X) hit of the move
                       and allows you to add some more damage while they're in
                       the air.
                     - if not accompanied with (X), then the whole move
                       juggles.
  Overhead           - must be blocked high on the (X) hit of the move.
                     - if not accompanied with (X), then the whole move is an
                       overhead.
  Unblockable        - You cannot block the move when ... .


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPER BAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In KOF'99, when you execute a special move or block, a bar fills up right under
your character's life bar. Once it's filled up (one stock), you can execute
either a Desperation Move (DM), Guard Escape, or Guard Counter.

You can only hold a maximum of three stock in your super bar. Once it's filled
up to three stock (MAX), you can spend all three stock on either Counter Mode,
which allows unlimited DM using for 15 seconds, or Armor Mode, which lets you
attack without fear of being knocked down fot 7 seconds. After using either of
these, you cannot accumulate stocks for approximately 10 seconds.

When your character's life bar flashes red, their DMs will automatically change
into an SDM, taking more damage and enabling special characteristics for that
particular SDM.
_______
Example :

  Takuma's Ryuuko Ranbu, when it's turned into an SDM ignores one hit and is
  faster to come out. This is also why he's so goddamn cheap.

Managing your stocks is one of the key points to winning a match. If you can't
manage to hit your opponent with a DM, or your character's DM is too laggy /
not very useful, might as well spend your stocks on Guard Escape or Guard
Counter. Don't accumulate too many stocks when you're not going for a DM or
using the Counter and Armor Mode.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRIKERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Striker match is the new feature of KOF'99. You can call a previously
assigned fourth character into the screen to help your fighter. Strikers have
different characteristics. Some have dual roles.
_______
Example :

  Kyo-1 and Kyo-2's Striker has dual role. What they do when you call them out
  is they come in with a B version R.E.D. Kick / Koma Hofuri, then perform a
  Kai. If the opponent gets hit by the R.E.D. Kick / Koma Hofuri part of the
  move, they will automatically taunt, lowering the opponent's super bar. Now,
  if they hit the opponent on the Kai part of the move, it will juggle. Think
  about the opportunities that can arise!
  Role #1 - air counter and super bar reducer.
  Role #2 - juggle.

...however, there's also Strikers that have Triple roles! This can be tricky...
_______
Example :

  Kasumi's Striker has a triple role. What she does when you call her is, she
  comes in with a jumping CD, then taunts (lowers enemy's super bar). If the
  opponent touches her in the beginning of her taunt, she will catch and throw
  them into an unbreakable fall. By the way, you can hit an opponent that's in
  the middle of an unbreakable fall by using the jumping CD.
  Role #1 - hits with a jumping CD.
  Role #2 - super bar reducer when not hitting opponent.
  Role #3 - unbreakable fall juggle.

Experiment with your Striker and see which style you need. Additionally, it is
often a good idea to learn to use how to use the character that you've picked
as your own personal Striker; just in case you accidentally picked the wrong
fight order. Yes...that happens.
__________________
Special Properties :

  Close air counter            - Hits opponents that try to jump in when close.
  Combo setup                  - Opens the enemy for a combo opportunity.
  Decrease Super Bar           - Decreases enemy's Super Bar.
  Far air counter              - Hits opponents that try to jump in when far.
  Increase Super Bar           - Increases the character's Super Bar.
  Juggles                      - Hits the enemy into the air, enabling you to
                                 add some damage.
  Pressure move                - Forces the enemy to the defensive.
  Prevent opponent approaching - Forces the enemy to hang back.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBINATION ATTACKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combination Attacks, AKA Combos, determine how skilled a player is. Depending
on the character, it can range from 2-hit (Bao) to 102-hit (Xiangfei). Most
combos take advantage of Command Attacks, an attack that can be activated by
pressing a directional and an attack button.

The basic execution of a combo is :

  normal attack + special move

But with a feature introduced in KOF '97, the command attack, it can now be :

  normal attack + command attack + special move

Note that when you use a command attack in a combo, it loses its special
characteristics.
_______
Example :

  Xiangfei's combo is Crouch A, f + A, A Nanpa. The f + A part of the combo,
  if used individually, is an overhead. But since it is used in a combo here,
  the opponent can still block low and not get hit.

Ops, one thing I forgot to tell you--all command attack properties will
disappear except for 'Hits low' and 'Guard Break'. These two properties are
Bao's and Choi's, respectively.

Yet...with another feature that started in KOF '99, the Counter Mode, you
can now perform :

  slide attack + special move

and :

  slide attack + command attack + special move

and another one :

  normal / slide attack + special move + desperation move

yes, another one :

  normal / slide attack + command attack + special move + desperation move

Note that this feature is only in Counter Mode!

Another additional note...combos may look flashy and they take heaps if they 
connect. See that if in the previous statement? That...is a very, very big if,
especially when your opponent is good at blocking. Not that you shouldn't
learn combos, it's just that you need to be good at making sure they
connect.

There is only one purpose for combos; they are to make sure your enemy dies
before you do. You can overuse it if you want, but don't forget that your
opponent can do combos too.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLOCKED COMBOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your combos are blocked, what do you do? Complete it, although it's blocked,
or stop right there?

From my experience, if your opponent has a stock and is near a corner, he'll
probably wait until the command attack part of the combo, then Guard Counter.

If your character's combo has a safe ending, it should be okay to finish the
combo. Well, sometimes.  I'll show you two examples.
_________
Example 1 : K'

  K's combo is: C, f + A, Iron Trigger. When this combo is blocked, people
  often Slide right after f + A connects, Therefore exposing K' to danger
  from his lagging Iron Trigger. These kinds of combos are good if your
  opponent doesn't have a stock.
_________
Example 2 : Blue Mary

  Mary's combo is: C, b + A, B Straight Slicer. When this combo is blocked,
  there's a 50% chance that your opponent won't block low. If they don't,
  they'll get hit by the Straight Slicer, and Mary can connect it with a Crab
  Clutch. If they do block, Mary will already recover from her move, and the
  opponent can't combo you back. But, characters with command throws can throw
  you at the end of the Straight Slicer so be careful.

But, this excludes characters that have unblockable moves, since they can
just do a move / DM when you do something wrong. Yet, it's generally better not
to continue the combo if you want to play safe.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------


In the King of Fighters '99, 3 people duke it out in a method of elimination to
determine a winner of a match. One more character, as Striker, can assist the
fighter in their own way.

Pick your desired character from a character select screen including 7 teams
and 4 single entries. That's 30 characters, and 2 hidden characters total.

Roulette picks a random character for each match. Sort of. In KOF '99, who you
get will be randomized for each character each day. Get that? No? I'll explain.
_______
Example :

  I pick Kyo, Mary, Clark, one Roulette. If you play that whole day on that
  machine with that team, you'll notice that the same selection of characters
  that will show up in the Roulette is the same. This can be utilized
  sometimes...


2. THE ORDER SELECT------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the Order Select Screen.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  |  ------ ------ ------ ------               ------ ------ ------ ------  |
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------


After selecting the characters, you have to determine who will fight and who
will be the striker. Press the corresponding button to select the order, the
last person will be the striker.
_______
Example :

  I pick Bao first, K' second, Blue Mary third, and Leona fourth at the
  character select screen.
  Then the order select screen appears.
  If I want to pick K' to fight first, I have to press B. If I want Leona, I
  press D, and so on.

So, A = first character, B = second character, C = third character, D = fourth
character that you want to pick.
You can see which character you've selected, like in previous installments of
KOF. To reveal them, hold START when selecting the order. Not after, okay?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE STORY SO FAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo Kusanagi, the 4-year champion of the King of Fighters tournament, managed
to defeat the dreaded god Orochi in the year 1997 with the help of his rival,
Iori Yagami. He has defeated Rugal in 1994 and 1995, and Goenitz, the Orochi
warrior in 1996. Yet, he is nowhere to be found after his "victory"...


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN 1999...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invitations were sent to fighters around the world. However, there were no
media attention to be seen. A new rule for KOF was revealed : the Striker
Match. The fighters were in no doubt surprised at this...which leads to another
question begging to be answered: who is behind this year's King of Fighters
tournament?

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  K' is extremely agile and can be extremely annoying if he hop kicks all
    the time. Making effective use of his DM and combos is a necessity: that's
    how most matches involving K' can be won.

Playing Against
>>  The lag of his attacks are K's undoing. With characters that have good
    and lengthy combos or fast DMs, K' can be easily beaten. Yet, when he does
    his Heat Drive from far away, there are only three things you can do :
    stand your ground and Slide, throw a projectile, or just small jump D / CD.

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  The jumping CD is great for hitting him while he does the tornado kick
    thingy. If you've got a stock and he's doing that thing all the time, you
    can try to do the Chain Drive right when the tornado disappears. He'll
    never block it.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Jumping a lot is a must with Benimaru. His kicks are fast and very
    annoying. Since he's extremely agile in this sense, it's only logical to
    do hit and run with him.

Playing Against
>>  It's hard to beat what you can't touch, but it is possible. Characters with
    fast recovery time, air counters and counters are the top of the list. Just
    make sure you don't try to chase Benimaru after he does a combo, because
    chances are that you'll get hit by a DM afterwards.

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  Since his combos do not take much of Krizalid's energy, you'll just have to
    be extremely good at running away. Make sure you do some hurt to Krizalid,
    then run away. Repeat.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Shingo is basically another version of the Kyo clones; but, the difference
    lies in having no flames, quicker attacks and higher priority. His Oni Yaki
    Mikansei is one of the best at countering, and he has sufficient combos to
    be damaging. Another interesting fact is that his jumping attacks are more
    similar to Terry's. His Crouch C is better than Kyo's. His DMs are way too
    slow for individual use, but put them in combos and you'll be fine.

Playing Against
>>  Unfortunately, Shingo does have his shortcomings. Keep on presuring him and
    you'll be fine.

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  Keep on doing Ara Gami Mikansei until you're out of range, then Jump D and
    combo. Repeat.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Terry's jump attacks have a lot of priority, which then allows you to pull
    out combos. Just remember to charge up for the Rising Tackle after you've
    pulled out a combo, in preparation for the enemy's attack. His CD is pretty
    useful in the way that he's invulnerable to low attacks, so try to
    psych-out with it.

Playing Against
>>  Whatever you do, evade aerial confrontations. Because, when he knows you're
    gonna jump he can just do a Power Geyser. Try not to Slide a lot, and
    jumping when you're very close to him is a no-no. Counters can discourage
    his attacks.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Unfortunately, Robert is not extremely great as a character. But, with the
    way people underestimate him, it'll be pretty easy to make them come in and
    try to attack. His Crouch C, Stand Close D, and Stand CD are pretty good
    for countering people that attack. But, his DMs are pretty useless except
    for people that are in the air and for Striker Combos. You can also play
    high-low games with his Crouch D and f + A.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Kyo-1 inherits Kyo's agility, if not his power. Long strings of juggling
    combos he has...but the opportunity to perform such are quite few. You'll
    end up relying more on throwing and normal moves than his Special Moves,
    and to rely on his SDM Orochi Nagi. Suffice to say, his Stand C and Crouch
    C are good for Air Counters, and his Jumping D is also to start combos.
    Whatever you do, don't perform his Special Moves (except for the 75 Shiki)
    when you think they will not connect--you'll regret it.

Playing Against
>>  Even though he doesn't have that much power compared to the other two
    Kyos, try not to get hit by his Stand C or Jump D. If you do, you can say
    goodbye to most of your energy. His combos are devastating; and annoyingly
    easy. Just don't underestimate.

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  Combos are key. Krizalid takes half damage from them, but repeat Kyo-1's
    combo 4-5 times and he's dead. The problem is how to make them connect.
    Jump only with a D from far away; and if it hits and he is too far, don't
    try to continue. Just wait for an opening and attack.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Although Kyo-2's damage ratio equals (maybe even exceeds) the real Kusanagi
    Kyo, you'll have a hard time actually hitting your opponent. That's because
    of the lag times. The only thing I can suggest is to use most of his moves
    in combos exclusively--unless you think that it will connect. Since his
    Autoguard timing is different from the real Kyo, you'll have a hard time.
    But, the satisfaction more than makes up for it! His Oni Yaki is good only
    when you know your opponent is going to jump. Knowing which combos to use
    in different situations are crucial.

Playing Against
>>  It's not very hard facing Kyo-2 in combat. The problem is when you get hit,
    that hit will take a lot...especially if it's a Counter!. He has a lot of
    lag time before and after his moves, and so that makes him vulnerable. It's
    simple really; just block and attack, block and attack, repeat...

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  For some reason, Krizalid tries to block Kyo-2's jumping D with his face.
    This is an ideal combo starter, so just go in there and start the frenzy.
    However, don't forget to jump high, and never try to perform a Mu Shiki
    when he does his tornado kick thingy or DM or whatever.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Kyo can do anything. Counter, combos, powerful DMs...you name it, he's got
    it. However, playing on the offensive seems to work well with him. Stand C
    and Crouch C is good as Air Counter to a point, and his Jumping D, when
    used from far away, is nearly invincible. His new 182 Shiki is great either
    for mind games or for countering, since it evades strong attacks. Beware
    that it is susceptible to weak attacks, however...

Playing Against
>>  This is hard; Kyo does have a weak point. And that's when he's jumping. All
    of his jump attacks are weak against air counters; except for the jumping
    D. Yet since people rarely use that, you're safe. In any case, another big
    threat is his DMs. When he does the Orochi Nagi, block. If you're really
    good, you can Slide over to his back when he releases it. When he does the
    182 Shiki, you have to either dash back, jump, slide, or hit him with a
    weak attack.

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  Jumping CDs and combos work well against him. If you have access to an SDM,
    stand far away from Krizalid as he does a tornado kick and do the Orochi
    Nagi. As it dissipates, release. He'll get hit most of the time.

INFO---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing As
>>  Confusing your opponent and landing multihit combos are a must in playing
    with Yagami. His Standing C is great not only as a combo opener, but also
    as an easy Air Counter. It has extremely good priority, and so does his
    Jump B, D, and CD, which complement each other quite nicely. His DMs are
    not as damaging as last year, but they're still powerful.

Playing Against
>>  Ow. You'll have a hard time trying to kill Iori. The main problem is how
    to evade getting hit by his combos. After you block a Jumping D, odds are
    that Iori will try to jump and perform his Yuri Ori to start his combo.
    Jump back with a C / D when you block a Jumping D. Watch out when he runs
    towards you; he's either trying to Overlap you with his Yuri Ori, Stand C,
    or perform a Kuzu Kaze. When he overlaps, block then jump. When you notice
    he stops, jump. When he does a Stand C, block. His jumping attacks are not
    very strong, so you can safely use normal Air Counters against him.

Playing Against Krizalid (2nd Form)
>>  Corner Krizalid and knock him down. As he is about to get up do this combo:
    Jump C, Stand B, f + A, [qcb + C], [repeat x 2]. Even if he blocks the
    Jumping C, he will not block the Stand B part of the combo. This tactic is
    similar to the easy way to beat Orochi Yashiro with Iori back in KOF'97.





===============================================================================
* CHAPTER 05 : EXTRAS
===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAY AS THE HIDDEN CHARACTERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To play as Kyo Kusanagi, you must beat him after defeating Krizalid when
playing as a preset team. Then, hold START at the Roulette and press left,
right, up, left, down, right.

To play as Iori Yagami, you must play with an all-Roulette team, then the game
will confirm Yagami's appearance. Then, hold START at the Roulette, press right
, left, up, right, down, left.

How to know if the arcade machine already has them or not? Well, wait for the
intro to finish, then look for a  under the KOF'99 logo. If they appear,
then Kyo and Iori's requirements are already done.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO KILL KRIZALID : 1ST FORM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though the first form of Krizalid rarely blocks and is often considered as
weak, sometimes he can be very annoying. There is an extremely easy way to kill
him with _any_ character...and maintaining a full Life Bar!

It's very easy. Start the match by doing a Jumping CD. You should be able to
push him into the corner, whether he's blocking or not. When he is in the
corner, all you've got to do is perform small Jumping CDs. That is, tap u + CD
all the time.

He'll get hit most of the time. Even if he blocks, he won't block the next
Jumping CD. There you go.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COLOURS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's too bad in KOF'99 you can only choose two sets of colours for each
character. Back in KOF'98, you can pick 4 sets, according to which button you
press (A, B, C, D). Ah well...here's the colour list. Tell me if you think I

INTRO POSES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The KOF tradition of character interaction dates back to its roots. I'll list
the known special intro poses (the poses the characters do when they start the
round).

K' vs. Kyo
>>  K' watches his right hand burst into flames. Kyo turns his back as his
    right hand also flaming. K' then looks from his hand to Kyo, grinning.

K' vs. Krizalid
>>  K' has one hand in his pocket, then opens his eyes and gives an evil
    smile. Krizalid replies his words.

Benimaru vs. Kyo
>>  Benimaru stops and gets ready. Kyo does his normal pose.

Shingo vs. Kyo
>>  Shingo hides his face behind his fist, then slowly opens them. Kyo does
    his normal pose.

Terry vs. Andy
>>  Terry rests his hands on his knees, then flicks up his cap a little. Andy
    fiddles with his gloves, grinning.

Andy vs. Mai
>>  Mai has what looks like a baby in her hands. Andy has a bewildered look on
    his face. Mai gets rid of the baby (which was just s puppet), and laughs.
    Andy coughs and gets ready. I wonder why he's so surprised...hohoho... ^^;;

Ryo vs. Robert
>>  Ryo does a short Zan Retsu Ken, and Robert does a short Gen'ei Kyaku. They
    then have on arm extended to each other. This intro pose looks suspiciously
    like the SFIII : 3rd Strike Ryu vs. Ken pose...

Ryo vs. Yuri
>>  Ryo and Yuri greets each other, then they stand still for a moment.

Ryo vs. Takuma
>>  Ryo greets Takuma, Takuma stands arms crossed, acknowledging.

    She then stows it away. Krizalid does his normal pose but says something
    in return.

Athena vs. Kensou
>>  Kensou stands casually and says something to Athena. Athena takes no notice
    and says something to the screen. She notices Kensou, who suddenly slumps
    his shoulders.

Athena vs. Bao
>>  Bao greets Athena. Athena replies and winks.

>>  Chang points at Kim while saying something. When he finishes, Kim just
    shakes his head.

Kim vs. Jhun
>>  Jhun says something to Kim, who just stands deep in thought with his eyes
    closed. WHen he finished, Kim opens his eyes and gives off a shiny smile.
    He looks pretty damn cruel with that smile, methinks...

>>  ???

ENDINGS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Japan Team
>>  After the battle with Kyo, K' and Maxima are separated from Benimaru and
    Shingo and Kyo. Benimaru and Shingo run for the exit, but Shingo suddenly
    stumbles. K' and Maxima are forced to go through squads of Nests Cartel
    goons. Staff roll. Kyo is nowhere to be seen. Benimaru helps Shingo escape
    from the ruins. In the end, K' helps a heavily wounded Maxima, K's right
    hand in flames, unextinguishable. Whether they managed to escape is
    unknown...

Fatal Fury Team
>>  After the battle with Kyo, Terry, Andy, Joe, and Mai run. Suddenly Terry
    stops, willingly. Andy, Joe, and Mai got out, but Terry is nowhere to be
    seen. Andy moans the loss of his brother, but Joe convinces him that he
    can't be dead. Staff roll. Terry's glove can be seen on the ruins. Then,
    a street fighter falls in front of a jeans-wearing, red sneakered person.
    A red cap falls from the sky, and a familiar battle cry echoes. Terry
    lives, holding a bandaged hand.

Kyokugenryu Team
>>  After the battle with Kyo, Ryo, Robert and Yuri run. But Takuma, in his
    old age, can't keep up with them. Rubble falls on top of his as he tries
    to escape. They all cried for him, but there's nothing to be done. Staff
    roll. Ryo, Robert, and Yuri pray in front of a gravestone with Takuma's
    Mr. Karate mask hanging from it. As they start to leave, a hand breaks
    open the grave from inside...

Ikari Team
>>  After the battle with Kyo, Leona, Ralf and Clark run. Ralf wonders where
    Whip has gone. Clark answers,saying that she has to take care of an
    'unfinished business'. Whip talks to the dying Krizalid, asking him if he
    really is her true brother, can he remember their father's face or not. He
    couldn't. Whip points out that Krizalid is actually K's clone; and K' is
    her real brother. Then, she escapes to the helicopter where Leona, Ralf,
    Clark, and Heidern were waiting. She reports with tears that the mission is
    accomplished.

Psycho Soldier Team

GENERAL STRATEGIES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's not much that I can tell you that experience and time can't, but I
guess it's faster to read it than spend a dollar a day just looking for the one
weak spot in your offense / defense. Okay, let's start...

The 3 second rule.
>>  Have you stayed still, crouching at sweep range from your opponent as he
    does the same thing? Time it, and you'll find out that he moves exactly
    after 3 seconds. I guess it's human psychology or something, but this is
    true. So, you can move before they do, or jump! Advantage in sweeps!

Control crisis.
>>  If you cannot do something perfectly well, a good advice is to practice.
    But, an even better advice is not to do it at all. When winning is at
    stake, gambling is at an all-time high. This goes for faulty controllers,
    too. I got 12 Beat-Bys with a controller that sometimes presses C on its
    own, and sometimes the left / right doesn't work. If you can't do it,
    don't do it.

Combo when you can't throw, throw when you can't combo.
>>  Combos have one use : they are intruments to inflict as much pain and
    suffering to your enemy in the shortest time possible. In short, they're
    a shortcut to victory. But, if you can't pull them out, they're useless.
    Now, that's what throws are for. Throws are to inflict some damage to an
    opponent where combos can't touch them. Faking a throw and a combo can
    really drive people crazy. But, for places such as Singapore, this doesn't
    apply...

When to charge...
>>  If you like using characters that have charged DMs (K', Kyo, etc.), when
    is the right time to charge? For K', it's when you're far. For Kyo, it's
    when you're in sweep range. You have to play a guessing game; the 3 Second
    Rule truly works when charging DMs. 

Never underestimate normal moves.
>>  Ryo's crouching C will hit most jumping opponents. So does his Ko Hou.
    His Ko Hou has a lag time. Which would you use to counter jumping
    opponents? Yes, the crouching C. It's easy, painless, and annoying for
    your opponent. The same with Kyo, Shingo, Mary, King, Terry, etc., etc.
    Everybody has a special move that does something, but sometimes a normal
    move can do the same thing. Use it!

When they think you are near, be far. When they think you are far, be near.
>>  Doing what your opponent didn't think of, that is, unpredictability, is
    crucial to success. A good example would be Bao. Instead of using big
    Psycho Balls, try playing with normal attacks, CDs, throws and DMs. His
    C throw, if it's not cancelled, will decrease almost as much as a DM! This
    is cheap, but...if you aim to win, no holds barred, hey?

Desperation!
>>  Amateurs will usually try to do a DM when they're almost dead.
    Intermediate players will try to look for an opening for a DM.
    Professionals will try to combo into a DM. Elite players will not use a DM.
    Why is that? If you can survive without a DM, then don't use it! Especially
    for lagging characters, this is essential. When you utilise the best the
    character has to offer, that's when you turn into an Elite Player. It's the
    same thing as to not underestimate normal moves. Why use Ryo's Ko Hou when
    his crouching C amounts to the same thing? Don't do something that kills
    you. By the way...I'm _not_ an Elite Player.
