+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The King of Fighters series is back in it's fourth incarnation. Several
teams and characters have been dropped, including the Boss Team, Kasumi
Todo, Mature, Vice, and Goenitz. New additions include the New Faces
Team (consisting of all new characters), the '97 Special Team (which is
comprised of Ryuji Yamazaki, Blue Mary, and Billy Kane, all from the
Fatal Fury series), and Shingo Yabuki, the would-be student of Kyo.
Like Shingo, Iori Yagami returns as a solo contender in the latest KoF
tournament, which is being hosted by Chizuru Kagura. Incidentally,
Chizuru herself has joined the New Female Fighting Team in Kasumi's
absence. The new boss is Orochi, making his first appearance in a KoF
game since his introduction into the series in The King of Fighters '95.
Gameplay-wise, a lot has changed. First of all, there are two sets of
basic commands that are chosen before you pick your characters; one of
them, Advanced, is similar to the basic moves in KoF '96, while Extra
is more like the way gameplay used to be in KoF '94 and '95. Also,
most all of the characters have been given back their command attacks
from KoF '95, or gained new ones. Most of the characters have also
gained a new special move, and every character has at least one or two
new Desperation Moves.

Here's a brief explanation of the controls:

B -- N -- F Retreat/Block Neutral Approach

DB D DF Defensive Crouch Crouch Offensive Crouch
B C D Weak Kick Strong Punch Strong Kick
A Weak Punch
All the moves in this FAQ are displayed using written notation. If you
are on the second player (right) side, you will be facing the other way,
so reverse all left- and right-based directions. Use the buttons to
inflict damage, and the joystick to maneuver yourself around the playing
field. Use a combination of joystick directions and buttons to perform
special moves and other various commands. Move notation includes:
QCF (Quarter Circle Forward) Rotate joystick from D to DF to F.
QCB (Quarter Circle Backward) Rotate joystick from D to DB to B.
HCF (Half Circle Forward) Rotate joystick from B to D to F.
HCB (Half Circle Backweard) Rotate joystick from F to D to B.
Otherwise, moves are performed by pressing in one of eight directions
(the 'neutral' position is not listed unless for an alternate joystick
command), then in another direction, and so on, before pressing a
button. 'HCF' is a simpler way to write 'B,DB,D,DF,F', for example.
Shortcut commands (ripped from EX Andy's Beginner's Reference FAQ) :)
You can use these in place of the 'standard' command. I already have
quite a few of these sprinkled throughout the FAQ and will add the
rest later as time allows. The shortcuts are:
HCF = DB,F
HCB = DF,B
F,D,DF = F,N,DF
QCB,HCF = D,HCF
QCF,HCB = D,HCB
HCB,HCB = DB,F,DB,F
HCF,HCF = DF,B,DF,B
After beginning the game, choose what mode of play your team will use.
Refer to Section 6 (Two Ways To Play) for more in-depth details. Then
pick the three members of your team, using the Punch buttons for one
costume color, or the Kick buttons for another. The mode of play you
selected will determine which of the two Punch or Kick colors you will
end up with. After that, select the order of your teammates for the
upcoming battle (to see what the characters think of each other refer to Section 8), and then the battle will
begin.
The object of the battle is to beat all the members of your opponents'
team while keeping your own members alive for as long as possible. To
defeat an opponent's team member, reduce his/her Life bar to zero by
using attacks and special moves. Be careful, because this is your
opponent's goal as well. If you receive enough damage (and are using
Extra Mode), your Life bar will flash to let you know that you are
about to lose. Remember, you can gain life back after each round by
playing aggressively, so try not to be too defensive or you won't get
that much life back. The faster you defeat your opponent, the more
life you'll receive.
Each battle is broken down into rounds. A round ends when one person is
defeated, both are defeated at the same time, or the round timer reaches
00. When this happens, the person with more life remaining is declared
the winner. If both people have the same amount of life, a draw game
occurs, and the next set of teammates replace their allies (the same
thing happens in the event of two players losing at the same time). If
there are no teammates left, then the person with more previous
victories is the winner. If the number of victories is the same, then
those two characters must fight a final round in which they both have
less life (1/4th of a bar). If this round ends in a draw, both players
lose.
In addition to special moves that can be used during the rounds, there
are also the Desperation Moves (DMs) and Super Desperation Moves (SDMs).
The Desperation move can only be used when you have a flashing Life Bar
(in Extra Mode), or when you have a full Power Gauge, which increases
through manual charging, and by getting attacked. If you have a
flashing life bar _and_ a full Power Gauge, you can do your character's
SDM, which hits more often, is faster, and does more damage than a DM.
Keep in mind that you will lose your Power Gauge after performing a DM
or SDM, unless you have a flashing Life Bar, in which case you can
perform a DM as many times as you want until you get a full Power Gauge
(it then becomes an SDM). There is no way to perform your DM when you
have a flashing Life Bar and a full Power Gauge.
Should you be using Advanced Mode, your life bar won't flash when you are
about to lose. Instead, you can do DMs every time you get a stored Power
Gauge (a stock). If you want to perform a SDM, you can MAX out your
Power Gauge by activating it--this takes up one stock, but you can now
use any remaining stocks you have to perform SDMs. If you only have one
stock, and you use it, all that happens is that your Power Gauge maxes
out (not that that's bad :)). Advanced Mode players can store up to
three Power Gauges (have 3 stocks) at a time. At best, they can use
three DMs (using all three stocks), or two SDMs (activating a Power Gauge
and using the two stocks for the SDMs before the activated Gauge runs
out). To get a stock, simply fight and use special moves to fill your
Gauge. The only difference is that your DMs/SDMs aren't available until
you have at least one stock or (in the case of SDMs) two or three stocks.
This is sort of a tradeoff: while it takes longer to gain two Power
Gauges, you can then perform an SDM no matter how much life you have
left, whereas an Extra Mode character can only use SDMs when his/her
life is low (and has a full Power Gauge), but can also use DMs repeatedly
during this time as long as their Power Gauge isn't completely full.
Note that the Advanced Mode character will still have a MAX Power Gauge
even after hitting or missing with his DM or SDM.
Here's some extra information on in-game situations and move abilities:
GUARD CRUSH - Keep blocking attacks and this will happen to you (it's
not determined by total number of blocked hits, but how many hits were
blocked in a brief period). When it happens, you stop blocking and take
a small amount of damage. If this happened to you during a multi-hit
attack, you are open to other hits and these will inflict full damage.
Also, note that if you are a victim of Guard Crush, you will lose your
Power Gauge energy if it's MAXed (in Extra Mode), or lose your activated
stock (in Advanced Mode).
CRITICAL HIT - Moves will cause this at random, but some moves will
cause it more often than others. When it happens, the reaction time on
the move is cut, giving you a split-second to attack with another move
or even a DM, in some cases.
COUNTER - This occurs when your enemy is attacking, and you make an
attack that hits them out of their assault. When you counter, it
functions like the 'Critical' effect above. You can get a Critical Hit
and Counter at the same time, which gives you a larger window of time
in which to attack your opponent. If you're the victim of a Counter,
any move that you're hit with afterwards does more damage.
AUTOGUARD - Some moves have this, but most don't. When using a move with
autoguard, you will see the 'block sparks' and take block damage from
attacks if you're attacked while using that move, instead of being
knocked out of the attack. Autoguard doesn't always kick in, but in
some cases, it will block an otherwise unblockable move (such as Kyo's
OniYaki vs. Ralf's Galactica Phantom DM).
OVERHEAD - Usually, only Command Attacks are overheads, but some Special
moves and even normal attacks (like Yashiro's standing Strong kick), have
this ability. Normally, a person who is blocking high can be hit by low
attacks, and if they are blocking low, they are defended from high and
low attacks. However, a move with the 'overhead' ability will hit that
person if they are crouch blocking (it doesn't work against a person
who is in a high block). This is a useful way to deal with 'turtle'
players who block constantly, especially for characters who don't have
fast command throws.
THROWS - Every character has two normal throws perfomed using the same
command. These throws cause moderate damage, and are unblockable. In
fact, they will connect no matter what the other player is doing,
exluding rolling. However, players using 'Extra Mode' can escape from
throws and take no damage. Throws only work when you're close to
another character who's standing on the ground, although Goro has a
normal throw that will work from a small distance away (the Okuri Ashi
Barai). Throws cannot be reversed.
There are also air throws, which only a few characters have. These
players include Benimaru, Yuri, Leona, Athena, and Mai. Air throws
are unblockable, but they are rarely used in battle because you must
be close to your opponent while you're both jumping. Chances are,
you'll end up eating your opponent's jump attack. :)
Finally, there are command throws, so named because they are performed
by entering a joystick command and pressing the appropriate button.
Command throws are for the most part very similar in that they are
unblockable and unavoidable (unless you're in the middle of a roll),
and unescapable. Most command throws also need to performed when up
close, like normal throws, but their are exceptions to this, and there
are some command throws which are blockable. However, command throws,
like normal throws, cannot be reversed. Command throws vary greatly in
use, ranging from ones that can be followed up with other moves (Goro's
Arashi no Yama DM/SDM combination), to throws that inflict no damage
but leave a hit opponent open to attack (Iori's Scum Wind or Yashiro of
the Parched Earth's Kujiku Daichi).
REVERSALS - These are moves which will stop an enemy's attack and make
your character strike back with a move of their own. Usually, a reversal
only works if used prior to being attacked (Mary or Billy's reversals),
or just as your character is attacked (Kyo or Yashiro's reversals). On a
whole, reversals will do no damage by themselves, only when they are used
against an enemy's attack. There are some exceptions, though, such as
Kyo's Nue Tsumi, which functions as a regular move but will turn into a
reversal during an enemy attack. Yashiro and Shermie also have reverals
that can be used as normal moves, but unlike Kyo, their moves do not
change if used for the purposing of reversing an enemy attack. Reversals
are usually very specific in use (only working against high attacks, only
against projectiles, etc.) Don't confuse these types of reversals with
the 'Guard Reversal' ability (performing a CD attack while blocking) that
each character has.
(If a move can cause Critical Hits, has Autoguard or has an additional
function as an overhead attack, or is a command throw or reversal, that
information is noted in the 'Comments' section for that particular move.)

C-button version acts as an overhead attack and a knockdown attack.

M: QCB,HCB + Punch / D,HCF + Punch

Weak 23, Strong 23 (as a SDM)
D: Kagura creates a double that walks forward while spinning around and
striking out with her arms.
C: The double vanishes if you are hit or the double reaches the end of
the screen. Kagura can only use normal attacks while her double is
on-screen, but if in Extra Mode, she can still charge up her Power
Gauge. If your opponent blocks the double's advance, you can force
them into getting hit by crouching and attacking (if they blocked
low), or jumping and attacking them (if they blocked high). Also,
the last hit that the double makes will vault Chizuru's opponent into
the air, giving you a small window of time in which to juggle them
with an attack or special move.

down the button used to increase the damage that this attack
inflicts. Normally, blocking this attack results in a Guard Crush,
but at full power, the move is unblockable. It takes about three
seconds to reach full power.

C: Orochi can also suck your character into his grasp if you're behind

(DM Two [bright backdrop}) Quote: "Saa, mu ni kaerou."
Meaning: "Come, let's return to
...nothing."
More notes from Orochi Herman:
Orochi floats instead of walking, and he dashes instead of rolling.
BEATING OROCHI... ______________________________________________________
A brand new addition to the FAQ (which is far too big as is!) Any combos
or tricks you use to teach Orochi a lesson? Send them in!
...WITH KYO KUSANAGI
- Use his Ara-gami after his attacks, especially the lightning
pillars. If he does his 'drawing towards' DM, do a far jump
back and perform an Orochi-nagi. Hold the button until you
are about two inches apart from Orochi, and release.
...WITH BENIMARU NIKAIDO
- Just after his 'bright background' DM, you can hit him easily with
a RaiKoKen.
...WITH IORI YAGAMI OR OROCHI IORI (only using Extra Mode)
- Go to the far corner and charge your Power Gauge. Dodge if
Orochi fires his projectile at you. Wait for Orochi to throw
another projectile at you when the Gauge is charged and then
do the Ya Otome DM/SDM. Then repeat. If Orochi approaches
you, walk up to him and throw him. If he does the 'bright
background' DM, dodge repeatedly.
...WITH GORO DAIMON, RALF JONES, CLARK STEEL, YASHIRO NANAKASE, OROCHI
YASHIRO
- Step back a little, then walk forward and perform the special
throw of your choice. Step back, and repeat. Takes a lot of
practice.
...USING ANYBODY
- If he does his 'drawing towards' DM, you can do a jumping Heavy
Attack, a light attack to knock him out of the DM (only works
initially).
Things to watch out for when fighting the last boss:
- Orochi will usually follow a Black Plasma Bolt attack with his
'bright background' DM. He also knocks away jump attacks with
his crystal shield move.
- He also uses the BPB to raise his Power Gauge.
- If he dashes forward, he'll usually go for a throw or the
"Genocide Cutter".

Prior to picking your team members, you will be asked to select the type
of controls you wish to use for the remainder of the game. What you
select not only determines the techniques available to you in the game,
but changes the colors of your characters' clothing as well. The two
control types are:
=========================================================================
ADVANCED MODE
=========================================================================
This mode is similar to the one found in King of Fighters '96. In this
mode, your character's attack power increases by 25% when his or her
Power Bar is at maximum.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Gaado
E: Guard
M: Hold B / DF while on the ground or in mid-air.
C: Not all moves can be blocked. Also, guarding repeatedly results in
Guard Crush which you don't want to have happen to yourself. Use the
first type to block high attacks and overheads, and the second type
to block low attacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Dasshu
E: Dash
M: Tap F,F (or F,DF for 'Charge Dash')
C: Using the Charge Dash, your character will dash forward normally,
but if your character has a charge style move, you can begin charging
it. This allows you to, for example, dash forward and then use a
KuSaJin with Kim.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Futtobashi Kougeki
E: Strike Attack
M: Press C+D while standing or jumping.
C: Has a brief lag, but will knockdown a hit opponent. If you hit an
enemy with this move while they are attacking you and get the
'Counter' message, you can easily use the Strike Attack in a combo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Engo Kougeki
E: Cover Attack
M: Tap A+B+C repeatedly when dizzied or when in an opponent's grab (not
a throw) or repeated attack.
C: There are four requirements in order for the Engo Kougeki to work:
1. Your Life Gauge must be at 50% or lower.
2. You must be dizzy or being in a grab/repeated attack. Grabs
include Chang's Kusari Jime or Choi's Zujo Sashi, while
repeated attacks include Kensou's RyuRenDa or Joe's
BakuRetsuKen.
3. You must have an undefeated teammate left in your party, and
you must be near them (they have to be on-screen) in order for
this attack to work. That teammate must also have a friendly
relationship with the character you're using.
4. If your Life Gauge is lower than your opponent's, or is _very_
low, that increases the chance of the attack working.
Translated and adapted from the KoF '96 Saturn Instruction Manual.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E: Activate Power Gauge
M: Press A+B+C once
C: You have to have at least one stock in reserve in order to do this.
Once a stock is activated, you gain all the benefits of having a
full Power Gauge and can perform a DM, or if you have more stocks
in reserve, SDMs.

E: Provoke / Taunt
M: Press Start
C: You can cancel taunt animation by pressing twice in any direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mode is comparable to the controls in the first two King of
Fighters games ('94 and '95). Unlike 'Advanced' mode, your character's
attack power will be boosted by 50% (!) when his/her Power Bar is at
maximum.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Gaado
E: Guard
M: Hold B / DF while on the ground or in mid-air.
C: Not all moves can be blocked. Also, guarding repeatedly results in

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Daun Kaihi
E: Down Evade
M: Press A+B buttons while falling in air.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Gaado Kanseru Kinkyu Kaihi Go
E: Guard Cancel Emergency Evade Front
M: Block an attack, then press A+B to roll forward
C: Requires you to have a MAXed out Power Gauge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E: Guard Reversal

J: Futtobashi Kougeki
E: Strike Attack
M: Press C+D while standing or jumping.
C: Has a brief lag, but will knockdown a hit opponent. If you hit an
enemy with this move while they are attacking you and get the
'Counter' message, you can easily use the Strike Attack in a combo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
J: Engo Kougeki
E: Cover Attack
M: Tap A+B+C repeatedly when dizzied or when in an opponent's grab (not
a throw) or repeated attack.
C: There are four requirements in order for the Engo Kougeki to work:
1. Your Life Gauge must be at 50% or lower.
2. You must be dizzy or being in a grab/repeated attack. Grabs
include Chang's Kusari Jime or Choi's Zujo Sashi, while
repeated attacks include Kensou's RyuRenDa or Joe's
BakuRetsuKen.
3. You must have an undefeated teammate left in your party, and
you must be near them (they have to be on-screen) in order for
this attack to work. That teammate must also have a friendly
relationship with the character you're using.
4. If your Life Gauge is lower than your opponent's, or is _very_
low, that increases the chance of the attack working.
Translated and adapted from the KoF '96 Saturn Instruction Manual.

J: Chohatsu
E: Provoke / Taunt
M: Press Start
C: You can cancel taunt animation by pressing twice in any direction.

BASIC COMBOS AND COMMAND ATTACKS
=========================================================================
There are seven 'basic' combos you can use; I refer to them as such
because they can be used by more than one person. After performing this
part of the combo, a player can use one or more of his character's 'semi-
special' attacks, special moves, or DM/SDMs against his opponent; they
aren't limited to only using one move.
- Jumping D, Standing C, ...
Used by: Andy, Athena, Blue Mary, Clark, Iori, Joe, Kim, Mai,
Ryuji, Shermie, (Orochi Iori)
- Jumping D, Crouching C, ...
Used by: Billy, Mai, Ryuji, Shermie, (Orochi Shermie)
- Jumping D, Standing D, ...
Used by: King, Mai, Leona.
- Jumping D, Standing C/D, ...
Used by: Kagura, Kensou, Shingo, Yashiro, Yuri, (Orochi Yashiro)
- Jumping C/D, Standing C, ...
Used by: Chin, Chris, Ralf, Robert, Terry, (Orochi Chris)
- Jumping C/D, Crouching C, ...
Used by: Choi, Chang, Kyo, Ralf, Robert, ('94 Kyo)
- Jumping C/D, Standing C/D, ...
Used by: Benimaru, Goro, Kyo, Ryo, ('94 Kyo)
Certain characters also have moves that can be used after the first
two steps of the 'basic' combos above, after which they can still
use more than one special move. They are listed below:
NAME MOVE NAME MOVE COMMAND
Andy Bogard Geki Heki Hai Sui Sho hcf+C
Athena Asamiya Super Psychic Throw hcf+C
Kyo Kusanagi Style No. 75: Modified qcf,B/D,B/D
Robert Garcia Kyokugen-ryu RenBuKyaku hcf+B/D
Ryo Sakazaki Kyokugen-ryu RenBuKen hcf+A/C
Terry Bogard Power Charge hcf+B/D
Iori Yagami Kuzukaze hcf+C
Ryuji Yamazaki Sunakake f,d,df+B/D
Among the command attacks (usually forward + A or B, but not always),
there are some that are chainable (can be done after a normal attack),
and some that can be cancelled (can be followed by a special move).
There are also overheads (these will hit opponents who are blocking
low), and finally, command attacks that have no extra use aside from
causing damage. Here is a listing of all the command attacks and their
uses:
NAME COMMAND PRECEEDED BY FOLLOWED BY MOVE NOTES
Andy f+B Stand C -- Overhead

================
GAME PROGRESSION
================
After selecting your team, you fight six other teams, then a battle
with either Orochi Leona or Orochi Leona, depending on the following:
You'll fight Orochi Leona if:
- Iori is in your team.
- You're playing with the 'Ralf and Clark' team.
You'll fight Orochi Iori if:
- Iori is _not_ in your team.
- You're playing with the 'Iori and Leona' team.
After fighting either of them, there's a battle with the Orochi New
Faces Team, then a battle against Orochi (Orochi Chris with the power
of Orochi).
Note that the teams you fight are often edited teams, and you may have
notice that the edited teams that you can fight are _never_ the edited
teams with special endings.
Orochi Leona and Orochi Iori look like their normal selves, but with some
minor tweaking (O. Leona looks like a zombie, and Iori looks like he has
gone insane). Both of them have different poses than the 'normal' Leona
and Iori. Orochi resembles Chris, but he is very tall and has white
hair. He also has on white jeans, and there is a large pattern on his
chest (it's the same one found in the title of this FAQ).
======
CAMEOS
======
In every stage there is a camera man watching the fight (excluding any
team with Orochi characters in it, and Orochi's stage).
China Stage - When someone is slammed or Orochi Yashiro shakes during
his winning stance, firecrackers go off in the background. There's a
dragon in the background that moves around at the same time as well.
In the China stage, on the left edge of the screen, familiar faces will
be watching you fight. They include (randomly):
- Tung Fue Rue, Jubei Yamada (both eathing something), Lee Pai Long.
(FF, FF2, AOF)
- Eiji Kisaragi and Sokaku Mochizuki. (AOF2 / FF3)
- Bob Wilson and two girls. (FF3)
- Roddy, Cathy, and Captian Klapton. (Top Hunter)
- Todo, Duck King (who's trying to catch a duckling), and some guy
with a USA fan t-shirt. (AOF / FFS / ???)
- The Sports Team. (KOF '94)
- Two girls with a panther (maybe Rugal's panther)?
Steffen Kupfer (who spent nine hours getting the China list above, so
you better give him props), also notes that there's a bad spelling
error in the Monaco Stage: it says 'RUSCASS CORNER' but should read
'Rascasse Corner'. It's a corner in the Monaco Grand Prix named after
a seafood restaurant called 'La Rascasse'.
Bali Stage - Whenever someone is slammed, the infamous Bali chicken in
the background loses some feathers. When Orochi Yashiro is in his
'shaking' winning pose, the tribesmen in the background bow and wave
their fingers. During Round 3, a plane from Aero Fighters 2 can be
seen flying by in the far background.
USA Stage - Again, when someone is slammed to the ground, the confetti
in the background shakes around and water splashes about. Confetti
also falls when someone wins a round.
Korea Stage - When someone is slammed to the ground in the left corner
of the screen, the drummer here falls down and groans. Also, the
dancers here stop spinning around and instead swing from side to side.
Italy Stage - The stack of tires in the corner shake when someone is
slammed. Water also splashes up onto the boat in the background.
===============
BUGS AND TRICKS
===============
FROM DARKLANCER:
Kensou's opponent can't block his 'ChoKyuDan' attack while Kensou is
performing the 'Niku Man' DM/SDM (Example: down + D, ChoKyuDan,
Meat Bun).
FROM TONY W.:
Ryo's C throw (Tani Otoshi) cannot be escaped from under any
circumstances!
FROM SCRUB:
If you perform Chang's Tekkyu FunSai Geki, and your opponent jumps
over him during his 'spinning the ball' animation that he does
before hurling the ball forward, your oppoenent will get hit for
almost 75% damage! luaP oH suggests that this could kill your
opponent if Chang was MAXed out in Extra Mode (since you get a
higher damage bonus than in Advanced Mode).
FROM JAMES KUROKI:
Using LEONA (Riot of Blood): Use the C button version of the I
Slasher. Have the opponent dodge it, roll past it, or guard it (so it
will pass by them) and walk right up to you. Immediately have the
opponent attack with a weak attack. Right before the I Slasher
returns, have Leona throw the opponent. This will freeze the charcter
and will follow you around (like Guile's handcuff trick in SFII). If
you use the C button throw (Leona Crush), certain normal attacks (like
standing weak kick) will drain the opponent's energy. From there you
can just wait until the KO, or you can do the I Slasher again to get
out. With the D button throw (Ooderu Bakuraa), the only move that will
damage the opponent is the the air "Futobashi Kougeki" and that will
knock 'em out of the hold. The I Slasher can be done again to get out
of this, too. (I haven't done this myself yet but it was in a reliable
magazine.)
IORI (Either form): First, the opponent must be a quick dasher (like
Choi). Now, have the opponent dash toward Iorin and continue dashing.
Have Iori roll past 'em till they reach the edge (never stop dashing).
From edge-to-edge range, have Iori throw a weak YamiBarai. Immediately
dash and catch up to it. When you get oh-so-close to the dashing
opponent (he should be facing away from you), use the Yaotome (normal
only) so that the YamiBarai hits after, or at the same time, the
Yaotome begins. If done correctly, when the YamiBarai hits, Iori
should be pushed outwards continue the Yaotome (even though it doesn't
hit anyone), and stop right before the finish pose. He is then 120%
invincible (although he can't move). Projectiles go straight through
him. If they get close...he finishes the Yaotome. (I haven't done this
myself yet but it was in a reliable magazine.)
IORI (Both), '94 KYO, ATHENA, KENSOU, MAI: Like the above this has to
do with projectiles. Throw a weak one, run up and throw 'em. If you
throw at the same time the projectile hits, they will take both damage.
BILLY: If he is thrown out of the Cho Kaen Senpu Kon, it will stay on
him forever. You can jump in and get a 99 Rush combo!
TERRY: Infinite Combo! Weak Power Charge --> Ducking weak punch
Empty Cancel (miss, then cancel) --> Weak Power Charge...
KYO: Infinte Combo! Strong 75 Shiki Kai (2 hits) --> Ducking strong
punch Empty Cancel --> Strong 75 Shiki Kai (2 hits)... (The 75 Shiki
Kai, on the second hit, should be delayed)
CLARK: Frankensteiner mystery. Normally it is slow, but has a long
invincibility time period. But, if you input the motion for the Weak
Super Argentine Back Breaker (for short, SAB), the Frankensteiner
becomes quicker, but has a short invincibility time period. To reverse
it, do the command for the Strong SAB anywhere, even in the air, from
long range, when down, or while attacking. Also if you use the Rolling
Cradle or Ultra Argentine Back Breaker it will return to normal. (I
haven't done this myself yet but it was in a reliable magazine.)
FROM MAI (and from earlier posts by m00nrun):
KING: Infinite - (in corner) Surprise Rose w/ A button, whiffed
down + A, Suprise Rose w/A button, whiffed down + A....
IORI: Infinite - Hollyhock Flower w/ A button, then w/ C button,
wait, then whiffed down + A, Hollyhock Flower w/A button....
========================
CHECK OUT YOUR TEAMMATES
========================
During the Order Select (after you pick your characters, you choose
the order in which they will fight), press C after picking your first
or second character. As long as you hold C, you'll see a set of
faces showing you what your team members think of each other. The
faces determine how your stocks are affected between rounds (if you're
using Advanced Mode), and if your teammates will help you by attacking
when you input an Assistance Attack (for either play mode). The
faces include:
Smiley: These two characters like each other*. One stock will be
added when it is the second character's turn to play.
Neutral: These two characters are indifferent to each other. No
change occurs in terms of stocks.
Angry: These two characters hate each other. If there are any
stocks in reserve, they will all be depleted.
Remember, this is only for Advanced Mode. The faces also determine
the chance of an Assistance Attack (using Advanced or Extra mode):
Smiley: The two characters like each other. If undefeated, they
will always help in an Assistance Attack.
Neutral: These two characters are indifferent to each other. If
undefeated, they may or may not help in an Assistance Attack
depending on various conditions.
Angry: These two characters hate each other. Even if undefeated,
they will never help the active character.
The faces do not affect your Power Bar, only your stored Power Bars
(stocks). The relation between characters is dependent on the order
you have them lined up in, so if your line up was: Kyo, Shingo, then
Iori, Kyo and Shingo would get a 'smiley' reaction while Shingo and
Iori would get an 'angry' reaction. Seem unimportant? Well, if you
arrange the characters like so: Kyo, Iori, Shingo, then you'd get an
'angry' reaction for both Kyo / Iori and Iori / Shingo. In other
words, no bonus, and you couldn't use the Assistance Attack since no
one likes each other. So, plan your team's fighting order carefully!
You can also use this to see the relationship between your opponent's
teammates if they've chosen their first character already.

=========================
INTERMISSIONS AND ENDINGS
=========================
If you play with a team, you'll get their unique ending. Play with a
mix of characters (an edited team), and you'll get a generic ending.
However, just like the two special team combinations in KoF '96 (Goenitz
Team and Weapons of God Team), there are special teams in KoF '97, too,
with their own endings.
Here are the normal teams:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERO TEAM A Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido, Goro Daimon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan - after the usual conversation that ensues about the Orochi's,
Benimaru brings up the fact that it was odd that it was the fourth time
they'd teamed up. Kyo tells him that he's nagging and starting to sound
like an old coot, and they end up insulting each other. Goro gets them
to stop bickering, and then they all decide to go their separate ways.
First it shows Benimaru, who travelled around the world, winning contest
after contest. No longer second fiddle, he let everyone know his stuff!
Then Goro, who became the leader of Japan's Judo team, leading them to
victory. Then it shows Kyo, standing on a cliff, thinking about
everything that has gone on in the past few years. In the sky you can
see the faces of Rugal and the rest of the Hakkeshu, and then Orochi...
"surely, a lot in such a short time..." ... then he realizes he is not
alone. "You've come." he says. Who else would show up? "Let's end this
here." "This is only the beginning..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERO TEAM B Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido, Goro Daimon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what's neat though... if you used Benimaru or Goro to beat Orochi,
the ending is over here (see Hero Team A). If you used Kyo, however, then
you get a special one-round bonus battle vs. Iori! As far as I know,
winning or losing has no effect on what happens next. Which is just Kyo
and Iori taunting, trash-talking, vowing to destroy each other, and
actually doing a little fighting too. Goes on for quite a while.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FATAL FURY TEAM Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italy (After the generic ending): The three meet in a locker room. They
discuss their plans for the future. Joe says that he thinks he's
prepared for anything. "Just call me the Master of the Universe!" he
boasts. They say goodbye to each other. As Terry leaves, he meets Blue
Mary who's standing be a motorcycle. She greets him and gives him her
number telling him to call her sometime. He responds by throwing his
hat at her and saying "OK!" (like he does in one of his winning poses).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ART OF FIGHTING TEAM Ryo Sakazaki, Robert Garcia, Yuri Sakazaki
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyokugenryu Team (After generic ending): The trio starts walking home.
They wonder if Takuma has caught the mysterious person. They also agree
that they have proved that kyokugenryu is the strongest and have
defended the dojo's honor. On the way they meet a man in a mask. It's
Mr. Karate! They groan saying "Oh no, not again!" Mr. Karate says "You
kids did o.k."(in the tournament). He then beckons them to guess his
identity. They respond with "Gee, I wonder who it could be..." Mr.
Karate then says (throw off his mask) "You guessed it! It's the Super
Takuma Sakazaki!' The team punches him into the sky (all you see is the
sky with a trail of smoke) saying "Get out of town you senile coot!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
IKARI TEAM Leona, Ralf Jones, Clark Steel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ikari Warriors - Leona thinks back to how she is supposed to be
"destined" to be of Orochi blood, and thinks back to when she killed her
parents (I think). She takes the boomerang blade/hairband out of her hair
and plans on killing herself, but then Ralf stops her. Ralf tells her
that before she was alone, but now she has them to rely on. Leona thinks
back to when her father said that you make your own destiny, and she
thanks him. Ralf then gives her his bandanna, which she puts in her hair.
Umm, yeah.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PSYCHO SOLDIER TEAM Athena Asamiya, Sie Kensou, Chin Gentsai
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psycho Soldier - they talk about the Orochi and how they'll be the only
ones who can stop him if he awakes from his sleep. Then they're
interrupted by a girl in a wheelchair wearing glasses who introduces
herself as Kaoru Watabe. Athena remembers that Kaoru was the fan who
wrote to them and ended up encouraging them to enter the KoF '97
tournament. Kaoru thanks them for the letter and the tickets, and Kensou
asks "What tickets?" Athena sent Kaoru tickets to the Finals match, and
of course Kaoru had fun cheering them on. Kaoru announces that she's been
training hard herself ever since she got out of the hospital, and then
attempts to walk. However, she falls, and Kensou attempts to dash over to
catch her, but ends up with his face in the dirt. Athena winds up
catching her instead, and after asking if each other are ok, they start
laughing. Kensou then starts saying that he'll "never be noticed. Sniff,
boo hoo".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEMALE FIGHTING TEAM Chizuru Kagura, Mai Shiranui, King
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
England - Mai, Chizuru, King, and Jan are at an amusement park. While
the rest have fun, Chizuru is looking at a lake or something, thinking
of her big sister and the Orochi. Jan comes up to her and says that he
feels safe and secure around here, and then Mai and King pop up saying
"Hey, didn't you just say that to us?" and Jan gets really nervous.
As they plan on riding the ferris wheel or something, Chizuru starts
talking to her sister again in spirit or something. Overall, somewhat
lame ending, but the mistranslation team strikes again - Jan calls Mai
"Mail"!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
KIM'S TEAM Kim Kaphwan, Choi Bounge, Chang Koehan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korea - Kim is shown being interviewed by... uh, some Korean news show
I guess. He says that with their victory in the KoF Tournament, he is
releasing Chang and Choi, and that they're free to do whatever they want.
After an emotional moment, they take off... the next scene shows an
airplane headed for Japan. Chang and Choi are on the plane, wearing
suits (looks funny). Turns out that they're ready to go back into crime,
and plan on starting in Japan. They then start making fun of Kim and one
of them says that he'll scream if he ever sees Kim's ugly face again.
Then someone behind them says "Naive, huh?". Yup, it's Kim! Chang and
Choi are freaked out. Kim explains that he was going to Japan to
represent Korea in a Taekwondo tournament. He realizes that he has not
spent enough time reforming Chang and Choi. He states that he will devote
his entire life to doing just that! Chang and Choi are definitely not
happy. (and neither are KoF'ers around the world... looks like they'll
be back for '98.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FACES TEAM Yashiro Nanakase, Shermie, Chris
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Faces Team (No generic ending): After fighting Orochi, they believe
that they have killed him. Yashiro says that something must be
missing. The lights go out and a sound is heard. When the lights come
back on, Chris has been killed by Yashiro and he has his hand on
Shermie's throat. Shermie says "CHRIS!!!". She asks him why. Yashiro
explains that it is the only way and says "See you on the other side."
Shermie asks "You promise?" Yashiro than kills her and says "Orochi! I
have killed Chris and Shermie! Take our blood and flesh! Take us
now!" He then rips his own throat out. Orochi glows and his eyes
open. It then says "the Orochi lives again".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
'97 SPECIAL TEAM Ryuji Yamazaki, Blue Mary, Billy Kane
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
KoF '97 Special Team (After generic ending): Yamazaki disappears (not
literally but I mean leaves and isn't found again). Blue Mary writes in
her journal that she believes that Yamazaki was Orochi (of the Orochi
race) all along. Billy Kane (wearing a suit and that thing on his head)
reports to Geese and explains how Yamazaki got away. He also says
that he used Blue Mary. As the conversation ends, (I'm not sure of this
part cause I was confused) either Orochi Iori or Yamazaki (couldn't tell
by picture or text, sorry) appears and demands "Where's my pay!".
Geese exclaims "You have a lot of nerve showing up here!" Orochi
Iori/Yamazaki (whichever it was) leaps at Geese, fingers outstretched
(as if he were clawing at him).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
'OROCHI' NEW FACES TEAM O. Yashiro, O. Shermie, O. Chris
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orochi New Faces Team (same as NFT): After fighting Orochi, they believe
that they have killed him. Yashiro says that something must be
missing. The lights go out and a sound is heard. When the lights come
back on, Chris has been killed by Yashiro and he has his hand on
Shermie's throat. Shermie says "CHRIS!!!". She asks him why. Yashiro
explains that it is the only way and says "See you on the other side."
Shermie asks "You promise?" Yashiro than kills her and says "Orochi! I
have killed Chris and Shermie! Take our blood and flesh! Take us
now!" He then rips his own throat out. Orochi glows and his eyes
open. It then says "the Orochi lives again".
And here are the special edited team combinations:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDITED TEAM Any combination not listed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orochi asks the characters why they insisted on attacking him. He
warns them about the end of humankind and his eventual revival before
dying.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SACRED FORCE TEAM Chizuru Kagura, Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's Caliber Team - Pretty neat. Preceding the Orochi battle, they
talk about (anyone who's seen Blue Seed will experience deja vu) the 8
Kushinada girls who were meant to be sacrificed, but one was left alive,
and guess who it is? Yup, it's Yuki. Once Orochi is beaten, he says he's
going to release all his power, and then Iori freaks out (Riot of the
Blood?) and leaps at Orochi and grabs him, and they start flashing and
glowing and crap like that. Chizuru tells Kyo that he must help Iori seal
the Orochi, and then it shows him firefisting Orochi. Either before he
firefists or after (I can't remember), it shows some black-and-white
sketch of Yuki, and she DOES say something. Wow, they found a voice actor
for one whole line :P
After Orochi appears he says that he will never cease to exist. "As
long as those of my blood survive, I will live on!" Kyo, Kagura, and
then Iori is shown in turn. When it gets to Iori, the screen flashes
and he becomes Orochi Iori. Orochi says "Go my Orochi son! Destroy
Kusanagi and Yata!" Orochi Iori then freaks out and grabs Orochi. Power
is channeling between the two. After Orochi Iori grabs Orochi, Kyo
says "Yagami!". A woman (Yuki?) communicates with Kyo. She explains that
there has been a 600 year error with Kyo's and Iori's clan (yes,
apparently they are part of the same clan). She also says that Yagami
must not suffer this error alone and says that Orochi must be sealed.
Kusanagi tells Kagura to trap Orochi. Kagura says "As keeper of the
mirror, it is my duty to ... he (Orochi) is too strong! Kusanagi now!"
Kyo tenses and leaps forward punching right into Iori's belly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SNK SUPERHERO TEAM Kyo Kusanagi, Ryo Sakazaki, Terry Bogard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Superhero Team" - Kyo says something like "Yeah, we're the strongest!"
Ryo says "Yeah, we ain't whistling Dixie!". Terry replies with "Funny,
that's not what Robert said". Ryo: "Why, you...!!" ???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
'94 GIRLS TEAM King, Mai Shiranui, Yuri Sakazaki
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Old England Team - A beach scene. Jan is running off with Yuri's bikini
top, with Mai laughing at the situation. King can be seen at the front of
the screen, with a "My god, they're the definition of bimbos" look on her
face.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD HERO TEAM Athena Asamiya, Ralf Jones, Clark Steel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Old SNK Hero Team - Ralf and Clark are seen as Ikari Warriors...
shirtless and with guns. They say "Mission accomplished!" and other such
things. A strange-looking Athena (I guess that's what she looks like in
Psycho Soldier) is looking at her body and says "This is... me?" A
weird-looking Kensou is seen in the background saying "Have you
forgotten...?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIDEKICK TEAM Benimaru Nikaido, Joe Higashi, Kim Kaphwan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After they beat Orochi, Benimaru starts talking about how hella great he
is. Joe threatens to humble him by beating him up, and so does Kim, so
they jump at him. That's it. That's their ending.
Chen Ding Ming Benedict explains that there are other teams, according
to the Neo*CD version of KoF '97:
TEAM NAME TEAM MEMBERS EXCEPT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyo and Shingo Team Kyo, Shingo --
Iori Team Iori Leona or Ralf _and_ Clark
Leona Team Leona Iori, or Ralf _and_ Clark
Ralf and Clark Team Ralf, Clark Iori, Leona
Iori and Leona Team Iori, Leona --
This includes O. Iori and O. Leona, too. According to Mr. Benedict,
these work like the standard edited teams, but their are extra lines
of dialogue during the intermissions exclusively for these characters.
These teams and their endings are listed below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
KYO AND SHINGO TEAM Kyo Kusanagi, Shingo Yabuki,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, here is the Kyo and Shingo Team Ending: Shingo meets Kyo resting
under a tree in the schoolyard. He calls him and tells him that he is
going to get some food. As he is about to leave, Kyo throw a pair of his
gloves right into Shingo's face, and tells him that he has gone a long
way, and that was a reward for his efforts. As Kyo is about to leave,
Shingo shouts, "I still can't blast flames!" Kyo then replies, "You're
going to try it again?" The picture then zooms a bit upwards towards the
tree. After that, Kyo then says, "I knew it." (Probably failed again I
suppose.) As a leaf falls from the tree, Shingo then puts on Kyo's
gloves, and then we see a picture of Shingo with the gloves (posing just
like Kyo in his Heh,heh, moetarou, stance) and saying,"Burn, baby, burn!"
IMPORTANT: The arcade version of KoF '97 has a language select! So if
you want to see these three 'magazine' endings, convince (or coerce)
your arcade operator into setting the soft DIP to Japanese! This info.
comes from Arturo Rocha, who is lucky enough to own an American arcade
cabinet and the arcade ver. of KoF '97!
Otherwise, remember that you can't see these three endings unless you've
set the language to JAPANESE on whatever ver. of KoF '97 you play/own.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE GENKI TEAM Billy Kane, Kyo Kusanagi, Mai Shiranui
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A single picture is shown, drawn in a very strange manga style of the
three team members. Beneath this is a short quip about the team itself
(Somone want to translate it?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEO GEO FREAK TEAM Ryuji Yamazaki, Choi Bounge, Chang Koehan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A single picture is shown, drawn in a very strange manga style of the
three team members. Beneath this is a short quip about the team itself
(Somone want to translate it?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAMEST TEAM Terry Bogard, Blue Mary, Joe Higashi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A single picture is shown, drawn in a very strange manga style of the
three team members. Beneath this is a short quip about the team itself
(Somone want to translate it?)
The order in which you pick your characters is unimportant. For the
special endings (edited teams), you'll have to wait for the 'normal'
ending sequence to run it's course before the special ending starts up.
From my understanding of it, Shingo will always have a special ending
as long as he is paired with Kyo. The third character is unimportant
(unless it's Benimaru, but it can't be Iori). Furthermore, the Japan
Team has an additional ending sequence if you beat Orochi using only Kyo.

Due to the fact that the list of contributors was getting far too big
for it's own good, I've changed the format. If any of you contributors
out there feel shortchanged by it, let me know and I'll change it back
pronto.

In particular, I'd like to thank Andrew Seyoon Park (EX Andy), Chika,
Chen Ding Ming Benedict, Darklancer, Gar Hong, Gunsmith, James Kuroki,
Matt Hall, Orochi Herman, Rodrigo Ishizaka Ciarlini, and Yosha for
going above and beyond the call of duty when it came to contributing
information. Please give proper credit to the author and contributors!
Also, a note to contributors; if you see your name up here and don't
know why, it's because while I always ask if I can use stuff beforehand
(unless it's to be used freely), if I get no response, I'll use it
anyway. So if you don't want your stuff to be in here, you should've
checked your e-mail! Anyway, I believe in giving proper credit to
contributors, so if you have a problem with something in the FAQ that
I got from your site, post, etc., drop me a line and tell me what's up.
BTW, whoever sends in the info. first gets credit. In the case of two
pieces of similar info (such as the win quotes), I simply choose the
one that seems the most correct, or list both of them if they both sound
plausible. No offense intended towards contributors in this situation;
it's just that I can't really judge between the two or three of you. :)

VERSION 0.0 (Began construction on July 2, 1997)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
11. A U T H O R ' S N O T E
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First off, the majority of the moves and move names were taken from my
KOF '95 and KOF '96 Saturn FAQs. I also translated the names from both
game's instruction booklets to get the exact Japanese and English names
(not counting the 'basic' controls, which are better off in English :))
I've also translated Japanese names from other sources into English.
However, Japanese is not my main language, so if you spot any mistakes,
please let me know.
Lately, a lot of people have been asking me about this or that, or
wondering why some of my mistakes are so stupid ^_^; It's because I
haven't played the game yet; it's not available where I live (in
Northern California), and as I don't have a home Neo*Geo system or a
Neo CD system, I won't be owning this game anytime soon unless someone
wants to send me the arcade cart (hehe). Don't be worried; I try my
best to insure that only accurate info. is in the FAQ. It's just that
I began the FAQ thinking that I'd be playing the game within a few
weeks of it's initial release, but that didn't exactly work out.... :)
Anyway, I hope this document is of use to everyone. Let's hope that
Ryuji (my fave), Billy and Mary make it to '98. All this series needs
now is to get Takuma back, and then it really _would_ be the King of
Fighters. :) You can e-mail me via if you have any
comments, complaints, questions or corrections, and be sure to check

Oh, and because Artuo Rocha asked nicely, here's the Top Ten High Score
List (didn't know they had scoring in '97!):
1. Artuo Rocha - 639,700 points. :)
