_________________________________________________________________________
1. INTRODUCTION
_________________________________________________________________________
Street Fighter Collection is a 2-disc set, containing both SSF2 and
SSF2X on one disc, and SFZ2 DASH on the other. Both games are faithfully
reproduced on the Saturn, and while neither of them are arcade-perfect,
any Capcom fan will want to own this set of classic fighting games.
This FAQ covers all three games as well as the Saturn extras. While
it's undoubtedly not needed, there's a section on the game mechanics
of each game as well :) Hopefully this FAQ will give you all the
information you need to enjoy your SF experience, especially if you don't
know Japanese.
FYI, this collection is based on the Japanese versions of these games,
so there are some differences, as listed below:
SSF2 (Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers)
When you lose, there are tips displayed at the bottom of the screen
during the countdown (how to escape a throw, your character's special
move motion, etc.)
SSF2X (Super Street Fighter II X: Grandmaster Challenge)
This may be more familiar to you as Super Street Fighter II: Turbo.
In addition to the differences found in SSF2, Gouki (Akuma) also has
winning quotes. He has an ending too (!) which I don't believe was
in the US version.
SFZ2 DASH (Street Fighter Zero 2: Dash)
This is based on the Japanese upgrade to Street Fighter Alpha 2, called
'Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha'. It is in all respect the same as that
game, minus a few things. There are a few bonus options as well. It's
not too different from Street Fighter Alpha 2, but you will have to
get adjusted to the way the game plays.
Note that for all three of these games, the names of moves, characters,
etc. are not the same as their 'outside of Japan' counterpart. Most
characters/techniques will be referred to by their original Japanese
names, but the 'alternate' name will be given at different points in
the FAQ.

2. REVISION HISTORY
_________________________________________________________________________
VERSION 0.5
Corrections for Birdie's Bullhorn were added, as well as some storyline
corrections, and minor fix-ups.
VERSION 0.4
Added notes on the costume colors and corrected the method to fighting
Shin Gouki in SSF2X. Also added more notes on the character moves,
and added Chun-Li's Air Spinning Bird Kick to her moves list.
VERSION 0.3
More corrections and additions--the translations of Gen's moves have also
been completed, and I added the comments for the rest of the characters.
Also, some of the tricks and cheats have been weeded out, as they worked
in SFA2 but not SFZ2 DASH.
VERSION 0.2
More sections added and completed, for SSF2X in particular.
VERSION 0.1
Moves list/number of hits completed, Advanced Tactics (primarily for
SFZ2 DASH) added, various codes and tricks added.
Began construction of VERSION 0.0 on October 2, 1997

3. HOW TO PLAY
_________________________________________________________________________
All joystick commands are represented using letters; all button presses
are written as text. Familiarizing yourself with these basic commands
if you are unsure of how to read each warrior's moves.
CONTROLLER LAYOUT
ub u uf JUMP BACKWARD JUMP UP JUMP FORWARD
\ | /
b-- N --f WALK BACKWARD NEUTRAL WALK FORWARD
/ | \
db d df DEFENSIVE CROUCH CROUCH OFFENSIVE CROUCH
This diagram shows the joystick functions for a player facing right.
If you are facing left, reverse the left/right controls.
L R PUNCH x3 KICK x3
X Y Z LIGHT PUNCH MEDIUM PUNCH HEAVY PUNCH
A B C LIGHT KICK MEDIUM KICK HEAVY KICK
The top two buttons are usually referred to as the 'L' and 'R' buttons
instead of 'Punch x3' and 'Kick x3'
The following notation is used in conjunction with the ASCII art
diagrams of the controller positions:
LP = Light Punch MP = Medium Punch HP = Hard Punch
LK = Light Kick MK = Medium Kick HK = Hard Kick
Punch = Any Punch 2P = Any 2 Punches 3P = Any 3 Punches
Kick = Any Kick 2K = Any 2 Kicks 3K = Any 3 Kicks
SC = Super Combo OC = Original Combo ZC = Zero Counter
L1 = Level 1 SC L2 = Level 2 SC L3 = Level 3 SC
s = Standing c = Crouching j = Jumping
(air) = the move can/must be performed while jumping.
SSF2 = Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
SSF2X = Super Street Fighter II X: Grandmaster Challenge
SFZ2 DASH = Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash
_________________________________________________________________________
4. THE WORLD WARRIORS (Super Street Fighter II / X)
_________________________________________________________________________
Each warrior's name, profile, moves, and Super Combos (if any) are
listed below. The moves are listed in this order; the Japanese name,
the direct translation of the name or general meaning of that name,
the motion used to perform that move, and the number of hits that
move will inflict (3 numbers are given for the three strengths of
punches and kicks, or in the case of Super Combos, for the three levels
of SC gauge power. If a move uses less buttons, or all three Punch or
Kick buttons, the set of numbers may change).
Also, if there is some special use for that move or note on performing
it, that is listed in the 'Notes:' entry. A Super Combo is denoted by
the word 'SUPER COMBO' in the upper-right corner of the special move
box; if a certain move is only available in a particular version of
Street Fighter (i.e. Zangief's Final Atomic Buster is only found in
SSF2X and SFZ2 DASH but not SSF2), then the name of the game it can be
used in will also be listed.
Links for the SFZ2 DASH characters are also listed; note that these
are not true 'chain combos' like the kind found in SFZ but simply
normal attacks that can connect (usually in the corner against a large
opponent).
Also, note that a move is listed as (no name) if it's name isn't in the
instruction booklet. I'll add names as people send them to me/I can
figure them out.
Finally, the character storylines have been pulled from more than one
source. I don't particularly care for them, but as some people are
really interested in that sort of thing (*smile, smile*), a brief
background of that character is given. If you notice any inaccuracies,
please feel free to correct me.
=========================================================================
BALROG (called VEGA outside of Japan)
=========================================================================
A Spanish bullfighter, Balrog is also a master of Ninjitsu and has
blended these two skills together to create his own deadly fighting
style. A vain man who hides his face behind a mask so as to protect
it, Balrog has attained much wealth since joining Vega's Shadowlaw
forces.

GOUKI (called AKUMA outside of Japan)
=========================================================================
Gouki is the student of Goutetsu, a brilliant martial artist whose only
other disciple was Gouken. Goutetsu's knowledge of Shotokan karate
included that of a 'killing intent' that allowed the user of such karate
to slay people using special attacks. Goutetsu decided that such a
murderous use of Shotokan karate should be forgotten, and so when he
explained this to Gouken, his disciple kept this in mind and never once
mentioned the 'killing intent' to his students, Ryu, Ken, and Dan, many
years later. Wanting only power though, Gouki re-discovered the
'killing intent' against his master's wishes and used the most powerful
technique, 'Shun-goku-satsu', to destroy Goutetsu. Even though Goutetsu
knew all the killing techniques himself, he refused to use them, even
when Gouki confronted him. Gouki then left and decided to go out into
the world to test his new powers on his challengers.

in SSF2X, but Capcom didn't make this attack into an actual
move until Street Fighter Zero. In SFZ2 DASH, it's required
that you have a Level 3 (fully-filled) Super Combo Gauge in
order to do this move. When Shin Gouki uses this move, he
warps forward at double speed.

GUILE
=========================================================================
The leader of a well-organized, secret team of soldiers working for the
US Army, Guile was captured during a mission in Thailand along with his
friend and fellow soldier Nash by the nefarious Vega. Managing to
escape, Guile wanted to bring back help so that he could free Nash, but
his friend had disappeared. Guile later discovered Nash's dog tags and
realized that he had been killed by Vega. Refusing to return to the
military life or to his family, Guile has remained on the prowl in
Thailand, actively searching for Vega. When he hears of the Street
Fighter tournament's mysterious host, Guile deduces that the head of
the tournament and Vega, leader of Shadowlaw, are the same person. He
joins the tournament in the hopes of confronting Vega and making him
pay dearly for the death of Nash.

KEN
=========================================================================
An American who is unruly, reckless, and a show-off, Ken was sent to
Japan by his father to study karate under Gouken, in the hopes that
learning a martial art would teach him discipline and patience.
Instead Ken brought his own unique style to Shotokan karate, and yet
was true to Gouken and became a skilled practicioner. During the
course of his studies, he also became the friend and rival of Ryu,
who was the only person who he was not skilled enough to beat
repeatedly in battle. Knowing that prize money pays big when it
comes to fighting tournaments, Ken has entered various contests around
the world, while Ryu continued to train in Japan. Easily fighting
through them all, he heard that Ryu had entered a famous tourney
called 'Street Fighter' and he joined as well, eager to show his old
pal what he had learned since their days together in Japan.

MIKE BISON (M. Bison, called BALROG outside of Japan)
=========================================================================
Once a heavyweight boxer who had it made, Bison's tendancy for reckless
fighting resulted in the loss of his title. Continuing to fight dirty,
he was forbidden from ever boxing professionally again. Depressed,
Bison became an alcoholic, wasting his money on liquor. He eventually
decided to become a fighter on the streets when he met Vega. Offered
far more money if he served Shadowlaw, the boxer accepted and is now one
of Vega's best thugs.
This character is also the reason for the name changing of three of
the four bosses in the original SF2 game. Mike Bison is a parody of
the (in)famous boxer Mike Tyson. In Japan, such a similarity would not
have made Capcom subject to the law, but in America, Capcom could have
been sued over the resemblance. So, the names were changed to prevent
any trouble from occuring.

RYU
=========================================================================
The disciple of Gouken and a master of Shotokan karate, Ryu has always
felt that he is not a good enough fighter and has spent his life
training day after day, endlessly practicing from one year to the next.
When his master died, Ryu decided that the best way to hone his skills
would be by fighting others, and so he entered the Street Fighter
tournament. At the time, it was headed by Sagat, who was the
undefeated champion, but the up-and-coming Ryu managed to defeat not
only his friend and fellow contender Ken, but the champion himself,
Sagat, by a narrow margin. He refused to be named the champion,
though, and left to seek a new challenge before he could even be
rewarded. Ryu believes that he can truly understand Shotokan karate
through mastery of the HaDoKen (Wave Motion Fist) technique, and has
relentlessly pursued his goal by training at a dojo in Japan after
the end of the Street Fighter tournament. He joined the next one
the following year to train himself even further.
Ryu is puzzled and concerned about Gouki, his master's former fellow
student, who has told Ryu in previous battles that he will never
understand Shotokan karate unless he first learns of the 'killing
intent'. Ryu hopes to fight Gouki again so that he might learn more
about what Gouki has been hinting to him.

SAGAT
=========================================================================
A kickboxer from Thailand who once reigned supreme as the Street Fighter
tournament champion, Sagat was defeated years ago by Ryu, whose brutal
assault left Sagat scarred when he used a variant of the ShoRyuKen
(Rising Dragon Fist) technique*. An honorable man who had been fighting
all his life, Sagat was unable to accept his defeat and swore that he
would avenge himself and regain his title by defeating Ryu. Remembering
what had beaten him so badly before, Sagat developed the 'Tiger Blow',
a new addition to his arsenal of Muay Thai moves and an improvisation
on Ryu's ShoRyuKen. His training complete, Sagat learned that although
Ryu was the champion, he had left the tournament and so a new fighter
had stepped in and proclaimed himself the head of the tourney, Vega.
Although Sagat will have nothing to do with Vega's personal business,
he was lured into serving Vega with the promise of being taught 'Psycho
Power' by the drug-lord, and now works for him in the hopes of becoming
strong enough to crush Ryu once and for all.
* Apparently this wasn't the standard ShoRyuKen, but either the
'Messatsu Go-ShoRyu' that 'Evil' Ryu and Gouki use, or the Shin
ShoRyuKen seen in MSH vs. SF and SF3 (not that I'd know ^_^;).

VEGA (called M. BISON outside of Japan)
=========================================================================
Powerful and twisted, Vega's origins are unknown. He discovered the
deadly 'Psycho Power' some time ago, and mastered it's use, against
the wishes of other masters of similar powers (such as Rose). His only
goal being that of world domination, Vega is the head of a powerful
organization called the Shadowlaw, which operates across the globe.
Vega's vast wealth comes from working as drug kingpin in South America
and Southeast Asia. However, when he found that the head position
in the Street Fighter tournament had been left vacant, he took over,
and now used the tournament to collect even more ill-gotten money via
gambling on the contenders and such. A cold-hearted murderer and
wanted criminal, Vega is nonetheless safe no matter where he is,
because he has bought up most of the special police forces and
overseas military units which operate from countries such as Thailand
and America.

ZANGIEF
=========================================================================
Hailing from Russia, Zangief is a huge man who was unable to learn
wrestling from a coach because he had little money. So Zangief instead
went out into the wilderness to train, and ended up becoming famous
when people heard that he wrestled bears in the wild for his 'training'.
Zangief became a star in the Russian wrestling world, but soon there
was no one left to challenge him. Hearing of the Street Fighter
tournament, Zangief entered with the intention of smashing everyone
into the ground with his trusty trademark move, the Screw Piledriver.

ADON
=========================================================================
A Thailand contender in previous Street Fighter tournaments, Adon was
second only to the former champion, Sagat, who was also his teacher and
a fellow master of Muay Thai. However, Adon and Sagat had their
differences and eventually grew apart, although they still respected
each other for their strength. When Ryu defeated Sagat, Adon was
shamed at his teacher's loss, and decided that Sagat was not worthy
enough to fight ever again. He would like to fight Ryu again after
losing to him in the last tournament, but he is even more passionate
about killing his teacher, whom he believes is an insult to the
invincible spirit of Muay Thai.

BIRDIE
=========================================================================
Raised in the backstreets of Britain, Birdie worked for many years as a
hired bouncer, his unique appearance the result of a life of club-
hopping and party-going. Birdie fought for England in a Street Fighter
tournament long ago, but was beaten and gave up professional fighting.
After hearing about Vega and the Shadowlaw, Birdie has decided to join
the tournament once more, in the hopes of beating Vega and proving
himself worthy enough to become a top member of Shadowlaw.
In the SFZ series, Birdie has a different voice with a more noticable
'English' accent. He also has a win pose, that...well let's just say
that it's true to his name :)

Japanese: Buru Hoon
English: Bull Horn
Command: Hold any two Punch or Kick buttons, then release
Hits: 1,1 to 5,5
Notes: The longer you hold down two Punch or Kick buttons, the more
powerful the Bull Horn becomes, hitting more times (once per
lvel, so a Level 3 Punch hits three times).
01-02 timer counts : Level 1 Punch
03-04 timer counts : Level 2 Punch
05-08 timer counts : Level 3 Punch
09-16 timer counts : Level 4 Punch
17-inf. timer counts : Final Punch
While holding down the buttons used, you can only use the
other type of attack (if you're charging the Bull Horn
with two Kicks, you can only use Punch buttons and special
moves/SCs using Punch, and vice versa). You can charge
up to four Bull Horns at once by holding down all 6 buttons;
release one Punch or Kick for two Bull Horns and then another
Punch or Kick for up to two more (you can't release the
third button because you have to have been holding that the
entire time so as to keep up the charge).

DAN HIBIKI (Dan)
=========================================================================
As a young man, Dan trained in the fighting art of Muay Thai, learning
from his father, Go. Dan later witnessed his father's death at the hands
of Sagat after a battle in which Go accidentally injured Sagat's eye,
partially blinding him, and Dan swore that he would make Sagat pay.
Dan's claim to fame is that he is a joke fighter. His original
inspiration comes from a 1993 drawing by one of Capcom's artists, in
which Sagat is seen holding a defeated fighter by the head. Later,
Capcom decided to make that fighter into a real character. In the
beginning, Dan was designed as a parody of SNK's fighting games,
as the two companies have been releasing fighting games for years.
Capcom chose the SNK series 'Art of Fighting' to be the object of
their joke, since the trilogy of games are sometimes called 'the
other Street Fighter', and the Ryo/Robert rivalry is a dead match
for Ryu and Ken's relationship.
Here's a quick explanation of what makes Dan a parody:
- He has a ponytail like Robert Garcia from Art of Fighting
- He wears a black shirt under his gi, just like Ryo Sakazaki
from Art of Fighting.
- He also wears geta (another nod to Ryo Sakazaki).
- His 'GaDoKen' is similar in appearance (thrown with one hand)
and range (short) to both of Ryo and Robert's projectile attacks.
In AoF, throwing a projectile with no power in your Spirit Bar
resulted in a 'dud' fireball like the GaDoKen.
- His 'DanKuKyaku' and 'KoRyuKen' are also closer in resemblance
to Robert's 'HiEnSenPuKyaku' and 'RyuGa' than they are to the
'TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku and 'ShoRyuKen' of Ryu or Ken.
- Dan's win poses are also takeoff's on SNK's Art of Fighting
series; Dan's standard clenched fist taunt is a rip-off of a
similar pose done by Robert Garcia, his 'shirt out of gi' pose
is just like Takuma Sakazaki's win pose in AoF2, and his surprised
win pose resembles Yuri Sakazaki's win stance in AoF2 as well.
- Dan's 'Hissho BuRaiKen' Super Combo closely resembles the trademark
'super move' of Ryo/Robert, the'RyuuKoRanBu', right down to the
moment of blocking before the actual attack begins.
SNK countered this in their next game, King of Fighters '96. In it,
all the Sakazakis have short-range fireballs, Ryo and Robert's
HiEnShippuKyaku/HiEnSenPuKyaku are now more similar to Dan's SFA
DanKuKyaku. In addition, their 'RyuKoRanbu' attack was also made to
look a little less like Dan's 'Hissho BuRaiKen'. Capcom made another
reference to the parody in SFA2: During the mid-boss battle (with Ken)
Ken asks Dan if he knows the 'art of fighting', a reference to the
SNK series Art of Fighting.
However, Dan became much better known as a worthless fighter, and so
Capcom did their best to accentuate this in future games like SFA2 and
MSH vs. SF, in which Dan has become progressively weaker/more of a
show-off character (such as his numerous and infuriating taunts).

GEN
=========================================================================
A former fighter in one of the early Street Fighter tournaments, Gen
had entered that tournament in search of Gouki, an enemy of his, but
had no luck in finding him and so returned to his job as a professional
Hong Kong assassin, using his mastery of the AnSetsuKen style of killing
to murder people with a single touch. Sensing Gouki's return some time
later, Gen leaves Hong Kong to enter the upcoming Street Fighter
tournament, hoping to kill the man that he was unable to defeat before.

Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: So-ryu: GekiRo
English: Mourning Style: Reverse Cascade
Command: f,d,df + Kick (tap Kick at an increasing pace during the move)
Hits: 1,1,1 intially, then 5,6,7 (for 6,7,8 total)
Notes: The timing is very tricky; mess up and you'll fall to the
ground or hang in the air, leaving you open to attack. If
you succeed in getting all the kicks, the last one will knock
Gen's opponent across the screen. My suggestion is to start
by tapping Kick slowly, but then increasing speed as you go
along. For best results, start tapping Kick at the very end
of the GekiRo's initial animation, just as Gen hangs in the
air with his leg extended, before he starts falling down
again. You can simply spaz on the buttons immediately after
the move initiates, but you won't get all the hits in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: So-ryu: ZanEi SUPER COMBO

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: So-ryu: ShiTenShu SUPER COMBO
English: Mourning Style: Death Point Curse
Command: d,db,b,d,db,b + Punch
Hits: 3,5,7
Notes: A hit oppoenent will flash, and a counter will appear above
them that counts down from 9 to 0. Every time it ticks, the
character takes a small amount of damage. Once it reaches
zero, Gen's foe is knocked to the ground and when they stand
up, they become dizzy. The only way to get out of this move
is to hit Gen with an attack (it won't work if he blocks it),
which makes the counter vanish. You can hit an opponent with
this move again during the counter countdown, and if you do
so, it not only causes added initial damage but makes the
timer count down faster. For that reason, 3 Level 1 Shitenshu
SCs are (IMO) better than one Level 3 Shitenshu hitting.

Japanese: Ki-ryu: O-Ga
English: Detestable Style: Wandering Fang
Command: Charge d,u + Kick
Hits: 1,1,1
Notes: Is this move fun or what? Here's how it works:
- You can charge d,u + Kick to jump to the wall nearest you.
- You can also charge d,ub/uf + Kick to jump to either the
left or right walls.
- Once on a wall, Gen will make a diving kick attack. You
can press Back to make him abort the attack and drop to
the ground, or press Forward to make his kick attack
have more reach.
- Or, you can press Up. This makes Gen jump up to the
ceiling, usually right over your opponent's head.
- From here, doing nothing makes him perform a head stomp.
Or, press Back or Forward to make him attack with a steeply
angled kick in that direction. Or, press Up-Back or Up-
Forward to make him jump away in those directions without
attacking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Ki-ryu: (no name)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Ki-ryu: JaKoHa SUPER COMBO
English: Detestable Style: Snake Bite Open
Command: d,df,f,d,df + Kick

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Ki-ryu : KoGa SUPER COMBO
English: Detestable Style: Lunatic Fang
Command: Jump, then d,db,b,d,db,b + Kick
Hits: Normally 1, but you can manage 2 from a kick cross-up.
Notes: Heh, heh, heh....
- Performing this move at:
L1 results in a jump kick and a wall rebound.
L2 results in a jump kick and two wall rebounds.
L3 results in a jump kick and three wall rebounds.
- Pressing a button during a rebound results in:
LK makes him jump to the wall in front of him and perform
an angled kick.
MK makes him jump to the corner in front of him and perform
a head stomp.
HK makes him jump to the wall behind him and perform an
angled kick.
You can do the same attack for each rebound, or mix them up.
Otherwise, not pressing anything just makes Gen bound off
the walls and automatically perform a near or far diving
kick in order to (try) and hit your opponent.

* There really isn't a good translation for this; 'Death Anniversary'

I don't think 'detestable' is the implied meaning, even though it
is one of the possible meanings.

GUY
=========================================================================
A Japanese man living in Japan, Guy has visted and lived in America
off and on for many years. He is a diligent student of the way of the
warrior, or Bushin, which is not a fighting style per se but a state
of mind. Guy anxiously awaits for the day when he can complete his
training by beating his master and rival, Zekuu. Along with former
Street Fighter Mike Haggar, the mayor of Metro City, and his friend,
Cody, Guy freed Metro City from the grip of the Mad Gear gang, a group
of thugs headed by a syndicate run by Belger. In defeating the gang,
Guy has made many enemies, Sodom and Rolento among them.
Guy's first appearance was in the game Final Fight, which details the
battle between Cody, Haggar, Guy, and the Mad Gear gang. In the
ending of Final Fight, Guy beats up Cody using his combination attack
and then leaps offscreen before Jessica and Cody are reunited. It's
not apparent whether he was a member of Mad Gear as well or if he just
had a grudge against Cody, but in SFA2, the mid-boss battle with
Rolento hints that he was was a former Mad Gear member (he tells Guy,
"I see you remember your true leader.")

Command: Charge b,f,b,f + Punch (then press Punch repeatedly)
Hits: 1,1,1 initially, then 1,2,3 (for 2,3,4 total)
Notes: Tapping Punch results in Charlie throwing more Sonic Booms.
You can throw an extra Boom (or two or three extra if using
L2 or L3) as long as one of the Sonic Booms is still on the
screen. A SC Sonic Boom does just as much damage as a normal
Sonic Boom.

ROLENTO
=========================================================================
A maniacal soldier who was once in the Vietnam War, Rolento was
discharged from the army when others witnessed his gruesome tactics
in battle. Returning to America, Rolento's bloodlust was overpowering
him, and he joined the Mad Gear gang in order to appease his appetite
for violence. Rolento is deeply angry at Guy, who defeated him along
with the other Mad Gear members some time ago, and has signed up for
the latest Street Fighter tournament in order to enact his revenge.
Unlike Sodom, Rolento has no interest in rebuilding Mad Gear, but plans
to create his own crime group with himself as the leader.
Rolento was the leader of the fourth stage (Industrial Area) in the
old Capcom beat-em'-up game Final Fight. He was added to SFZ2
relatively unchanged, still retaining his baton, grenades, and even
his blue (Super) shadows! Rolento also has an uncanny resemblance to
the Providence Leader in the 'Fist of the North Star' manga.

Japanese: Sutingaa
English: Stinger
Command: f,d,df + Kick (press Punch or Kick while in mid-air)
Hits: 0,0,0 intially, then 1,1,1
Notes: The Kick button used determines the height of Rolento's jump.
Thereafter, the strength of the Punch or Kick button used
determines the angle at which he throws the knife.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Mekon Deruta Ea Reido
English: Mekong Delta Air Raid
Command: d,db,b + Punch (press Punch again while rolling backward)
Hits: 0,0,0 initially, then 1,1,1
Notes: You can use the first part of this move as an easy retreat
roll.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Mekon Deruta Esukeipu
English: Mekong Delta Escape
Command: d,db,b + Kick (press Punch or Kick while in mid-air)
Hits: 0,0,0 initially, then 1,1,1
Notes: You can press Back or Forward during this move to alter your
landing. You cannot use the (Down + MK) move while in the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Mekon Deruta Attaku
English: Mekong Delta Attack
Command: Press all three Punch buttons (press any Punch while flipping)
Hits: 0,0,0 initially, then 1,1,1
Notes: The backflip isn't invincible, but makes a nice retreat
tactic. The button used for the roll determines the distance
Rolento moves forward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Torikku Randingu
English: Trick Landing
Command: Press all three Kick buttons as you land from the air.
Hits: 0,0,0
Notes: This can be done after the (down + MK) special move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Hai Janpu
English: High Jump
Command: Tap d,u
Hits: 0
Notes: You must do this move very quickly. I suggest sliding your
thumb across the pad as if you were doing a Somersault Shell
without charging, instead of tapping Down, then Up. You can
attack while jumping and can do the (down + MK) special move
as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English: (no name)
Command: Jump, then down + Medium Kick
Hits: 1
Notes: This move is not the same as it was in SFA2. You cannot do it
during the Mekong Delta Escape, only during a normal jump or
High Jump. However, Rolento will stay in the last frame of
animation until he reaches the ground, at which point he'll
flip a la the Trick Landing, but will move forward instead of
backward. You can do this move repeatedly to hop around the
screen, and can use the Trick Landing after hopping, too, or
even throw a Punch or Kick, although you have to be close if
you want the hit to connect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English: (no name)
Command: Forward + Medium Kick
Hits: 1
Notes: This will hit if done from extremely close. It works best
after throwing your opponent, since you'll probably end up
doing Rolento's Kick throw otherwise. I suppose this move
could also be used to fake the Trick Landing or (Down + MK)
move, but that's useless....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English: (no name)
Command: Down + Hard Kick

Notes: Like other slides, this is useful for hitting an enemy out of
their attack.

ROSE
=========================================================================
A fortune-teller who uses Tarot cards to see into the world around her,
Rose wields the strange 'Soul Power' that is the counterpart of Vega's
'Psycho Power'. Knowing that Vega is using his abilities for evil
purposes, she senses that it is her fate to defeat him and seal away
his Psycho Power forever before he becomes too strong.

Hits: 1,1,1
Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Souru Suruu
English: Soul Throw
Command: f,d,df + Punch
Hits: 1,1,1
Notes: Your opponent must be in the air in order for this move to
connect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Souru Rifurekuto
English: Soul Reflect
Command: d,db,b + Punch
Hits: 1,1,1
Notes: Using LP make Rose absorb a thrown projectile and she gets
a set amount of SC energy for it. Using MP makes her reflect
a thrown projectile straight forward, and using HP makes her
reflect it up at an angle. The Soul Reflect DOESN'T work
on any SC projectile except Dan's Shinku Gadoken. If you try
to reflect Dan's Gadoken or Shinku Gadoken, the range will
still remain short, instead of becoming a normal fireball like
in SFA.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Souru Supairaru
English: Soul Spiral
Command: d,df,f + Kick
Hits: 1,2,3
Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hits: 1
Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: (no name)
English: (no name)
Command: Forward + Hard Kick
Hits: 1
Notes: Just like Rose's HK, but she moves forward a bit. Has too long
a recovery time to be very useful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Oora Souru Supaaku SUPER COMBO
English: Aura Soul Spark
Command: d,db,b,d,db,b + Punch
Hits: 3,6,4
Notes: The Level 3 version of this move creates a small wave of aura-
like force. Any projectile or SC projectile that hits this
wave of force will be reflected straight backward like a SC
Soul Reflect. See the notes for the 'Soul Reflect' for
details. One difference is that afterwards, the Soul Spark
that she fires is (of course) an SC projectile, and so can
trade hits or negate other projectiles/SC projectiles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Oora Souru Suruu SUPER COMBO
English: Aura Soul Throw
Command: d,df,f,d,df + Punch
Hits: 1,2,4
Notes: The L2 and L3 versions of this move are preceeded by several
attacks made by Rose, meaning that her opponent does not have
to be airborne in order to be hit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Souru Iruujon SUPER COMBO
English: Soul Illusion
Command: d,df,f,d,df + Kick
Hits: 0,0,0
Notes: When used, shadows trail Rose that increase the number of times
any attack hits by four. These aren't guaranteed hits, because
Rose is easily pushed out of range by her own attacks. This
move only affects physical attacks, not projectiles. The L1
version lasts 5 seconds, the L2 version lasts 7 seconds, and
the L3 version lasts 10 seconds.

with him, wanting to fight like he does. She trained herself from

Japanese: HaDoKen
English: Wave Motion Fist
Command: d,df,f + Punch (then press Punch once or twice in addition)
Hits: 1,1,1
Notes: Pressing Punch rapidly will increase the size and hit range
of the fireball, but decreases it's flying range and duration.
You have to use the same Punch button to increase the fireball
that you used to initiate the move originally.

their feet, but won't floor them unless they were crouch-
blocking at the time.

SODOM
=========================================================================
Sodom is a former Mad Gear henchman who suffered a humiliating defeat
at the hands of Guy, who then went on to destroy the Mad Gear gang
along with Haggar and Cody. Sodom wants not only to avenge his loss
by challenging Guy once more, but he would like to rebuild the Mad
Gear gang, funding it's revival with the prize money offered in each
Street Fighter tournament.
Originally, he was the boss of the second stage (Metro City Subway),
of the game Final Fight, a game that other characters (Guy, Rolento)
also come from. In that game, he wielded two katana, which were
replaced with jittes (weapon-breaking tools) in SFZ. The kanji on
his outfit is 'shi', which means 'death'.
Sodom is something of a joke character in the Japanese SF Zero series,
but this was cut out of the American version of SFA2, except for an
obscure reference to an 'Old Coke Factory'. The idea is that Sodom, an
American, is bent on abosorbing Japanese culture. However, he can
barely speak the language, let alone read it. This is reflected in all
of his win quotes, in which he says something like 'SEA! SHORE! BOY!'
By itself, his quote means nothing, but the kanji for these English
words are actually a quote when interpreted differently in Japanese (as
most kanji have more than one meaning). Sodom's mid-boss and boss
battles, as well as his ending, are also full of humorous English text.
This joke is carried pretty far, even to the point where the names of
his special moves, while they should be spelled with kanji, are written
using katakana, an alphabet reserved primarily for translated English
words (romaji) and sound effects (it sure makes them hard to translate,
too.)

Command: Rotate controller 360 degrees (counter) clockwise + Kick
Hits: 1,1,1
Notes: If Sodom hits with this move when his opponent is in the air
or not entirely on the ground, he'll knock them with his
jitte only, and not grab them and go into the rest of the
move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese: Shiraha Kacchi
English: White Sword Catch

and make Sodom toss them instead. Yes, you can Tech. Hit if
you're reversed by this move.

Notes: Few people know about this, but it rolls Sodom _forward_
instead of backward, which sets him up nicely for a command
throw (Butsumetsu Buster or Ten-chu-satsu).

English: Hell Souvenir / Hades Present (lit. Hades of Present)
Command: d,df,f,d,df,f + Punch

sometimes miss. Only the Level 1 version can juggle an
airborne opponent for all 3 hits.

range. If nothing is pressed, he does a slide attack. If
Punch is pressed from far away, he'll do a palm press attack.
From up close, it's a slam attack. If Kick is pressed from
far away, he does a drop-kick attack. From up close, he does
an inverse pile-driver.

7. SECRETS AND TRICKS
_________________________________________________________________________
==============================================
SUPER STREET FIGHTER II X: THE NEW CHALLENGERS
==============================================
DE-SELECT THE CHOSEN CHARACTER
------------------------------
Enter the VS. MODE. If you pick a character you didn't want, press
the shoulder L and R buttons together at once and your cursor should
begin blinking again. Note that you can also do this if you picked
Gouki but wanted SSF2 Ryu or normal Ryu, for example.
================================================
SUPER STREET FIGHTER II X: GRANDMASTER CHALLENGE
================================================
PLAY AS GOUKI (normal method)
------------------------------
Make sure that the Turbo Speed is set to 1, 2, or 3, so that it is
selectable in-game. Start up ARCADE MODE and choose TURBO 3 using
the HP button. Then:
- Leave the cursor on Ryu for 3 seconds.
- Move to T. Hawk and wait for 3 seconds.
- Move to Cammy and wait for 3 seconds.
- Move to Guile and wait for 3 seconds.
- Move back to Ryu and wait for 3 seconds.
Then press all three Punch buttons and START at the same time. If
Ryu doesn't immediately change into Gouki, you'll have a split-
second to tap LP, MP, HP, and START again (I've done this three
times once!) and Ryu's portrait should switch to Gouki's portrait.
PLAY AS GOUKI (short method)
-----------------------------
Put the cursor on Ryu and press the shoulder L and R buttons at the
same time. As with the long method, you can continue to press the
two buttons simultaneously if Gouki doesn't immediately appear.
PLAY AS THE SSF2 VERSION OF ANY CHARACTER BUT GOUKI (long method)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Highlight the character you want to play with and pick them with
the LP button. While still holding LP, enter these commands on
the controller:
BALROG - Down Up Up Down
BLANKA - Right Left Left Left
CAMMY - Up Up Down Down
CHUN-LI - Down Down Down Up
DEE JAY - Down Down Up Up
DHALSIM - Down Up Up Up
E. HONDA - Up Up Up Down
FEI LONG - Left Left Right Right
GUILE - Up Down Down Down
KEN - Left Left Left Right
M. BISON - Left Right Right Left
T. HAWK - Right Right Left Left
RYU - Right Right Right Left
SAGAT - Up Down Down Up
VEGA - Right Left Left Right
ZANGIEF - Left Right Right Right
If you did it correctly, that character will say their 'continue'
quote and they will appear in their original colors.
PLAY AS THE SSF2 VERSION OF ANY CHARACTER BUT GOUKI (short method)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter the VS. MODE and highlight the character you want to use.
Hold the shoulder R button down and press any other button to select
them. If you did it correctly, that character will say their
'continue' quote and will appear in their original colors.
DE-SELECT THE CHOSEN CHARACTER
------------------------------
Enter the VS. MODE. If you pick a character you didn't want, press
the shoulder L and R buttons together at once and your cursor should
begin blinking again. Note that you can also do this if you picked
Gouki but wanted SSF2 Ryu or normal Ryu, for example.
COSTUME COLORS
--------------
In addition to the color assigned to LP through HK, you can also get
a 7th color by pressing Start, and an 8th color by pressing and
holding any Punch or Kick button, _or_ pressing two Punch or Kick
buttons together at the same time.
CHALLENGE SHIN GOUKI
--------------------
Play a game in ARCADE MODE as you normally would. However, you cannot
lose any more than three rounds prior to the battle against Shin Gouki.
If you lose the whole match, then you can't get to him, either. If
you're successful, then after fighting Sagat, you'll fly to Vega's
stage. Even though Vega will be waiting for you, Gouki's music will
play and his (black) portrait will be shown. Gouki will perform the
'ShunGokuSatsu' on Vega (who lies there for the remainder of the
fight), and will then challenge you.
Note that Gouki has an ending if you beat Shin Gouki with him. He
trash-talks Shin Gouki for a while while grabbing him, then Dragon
Punches him off the screen :)
==========================
STREET FIGHTER ZERO 2 DASH
==========================
EXTRA PLAYERS
-------------
The following characters have alter-egos that you can select in any
mode by doing the following:
CE Chun-Li : Go to Chun-Li and press START twice.
CE Dhalsim : Go to Dhalsim and press START once.
CE Ken : Go to Ken and press START once.
CE Ryu : Go to Ryu and press START once.
CE Sagat : Go to Sagat and press START once.
CE Vega : Go to Vega and press START once.
CE Zangief : Go to Zangief and press START once.
'Satsui no Hado' Ryu : Go to Ryu and press START twice.
SF2-Costumed Chun-Li : Go to Chun-Li and press START once.
Special Sakura : Go to Sakura and press START five times.
Shin Gouki : Go to Gouki and press START five times.
CE is the American name, for 'Street Fighter: Championship Edition'.
In Japan, it was simply "Street Fighter'" (notice the dash). However,
calling the characters 'Ryu and 'Vega would be confusing ^_^;, so I'm
calling them by their American names.
INFORMATION ON THE EXTRA PLAYERS
--------------------------------
- The CE characters cannot taunt, recover from throws, air block,
or peform the forward or backward roll. They also have no SC
Gauge and so cannot use SCs, OCs, or ZCs. Their normal moves
have been changed to look more like the ones from CE (Dhalsim
cannot control his attacks, Ryu doesn't have his double-hit
jumping MP, etc.), and CE Chun-Li appears in her SF2 costume.
Furthermore, they don't have start-up (begin) poses, either.
- As you know, Ryu will always fight Sagat for his next-to-last
battle in Arcade Mode. If you're using Ryu or 'SnH' Ryu, Sagat
will begin the battle with another pose in which he tosses
away Dan, jumps back, and chuckles. However, he won't do this
if you're using CE Ryu. 'Satsui no Hadou' Ryu also has his own
colors and poses.
- 'SnH' Ryu has different text when fighting his mid-boss or boss,
and has his own ending should he beat Gouki (it's just a brown
screen with a few scrolling lines of text). Fighting Shin Gouki
as well doesn't seem to alter his ending (anyone tried killing
Shin Gouki or Gouki with a ShunGokuSatsu for the last blow?)
- SF2-Costumed Chun-Li is just like normal Chun-Li, save the motion
for her Kikoken, which becomes a charge motion. However, her
ending will also change (she'll be in her SF2 costume rather than
the normal one...this also applies to CE Chun-Li).
- Special Sakura's only difference are her new colors for her
sailor suit--everything else about her is exactly the same.
- Shin Gouki throws two fireballs for his ZanKu HaDoKen and his
ShunGokuSatsu goes at double-speed when he uses it. His poses
also change.
PLAY AS X-MEN vs. STREET FIGHTER'S CAMMY
----------------------------------------
First, play an ARCADE MODE game with Vega or SSF2 Vega. You have to
get a score high enough to put you in 1st place...you can continue
as much as you want, or not even beat the game, it's your call. Once
you're asked to enter your initials, put in CAM.
Now, go into either TRAINING MODE or VS. MODE. Put the cursor on Vega
and press START three times, and Cammy from X-Men vs. Street Fighter
will appear.
An interesting note on Cammy--using a Game Shark code to play with
her reveals that she has Rose as a mid-boss and Bison as a last boss,
even though the game will glitch when you try to fight them. Looks
like Capcom had planned to make her playable in all modes, perhaps?
RANDOM SELECT (in Arcade Mode only)
------------------------------------
If you're Player One, press Up when highlighting Ryu or Down when
highlighting Nash. If you're Player Two, substitute Ryu and Nash
with Ken and Sagat.
MANUAL SELECT OF HIDDEN STAGES (in Arcade Mode and Training Mode)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Highlight Sagat for the Australia Stage, or Vega for the Venezula
stage. Hold START for five seconds, then release START. Pick
your character. You'll go to whichever stage you picked.
FIGHT YOUR MID-BOSS (in Arcade Mode)
-------------------------------------
Get at least 5 Super Combo or Custom Combo wins, or a mixture of the
two. If you pull this off, your next battle will be in the correct
stage, but against a different character (your mid-boss). If you
win, you'll go on to fight the character normally assigned to that
stage. If you lose, then you can't fight your mid-boss any more
and will fight whichever challnger you were supposed to fight. This
trick will even work on the last stage (your mid-boss fight will
interrupt your boss fight).
The mid-bosses and bosses are:
CHARACTER MID-BOSS BOSS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adon Vega Sagat
Birdie Dhalsim Vega
Chun-Li Gen Vega
Dan Hibiki Guy Sagat
Dhalsim Zangief Vega
Gen SF2 Costumed Chun-Li Gouki
Gouki Ryu Gen
Guy Rose Vega
Ken Dan Hibiki Ryu
Nash Rolento Vega
Rolento Sodom Guy
Rose Gouki Vega
Ryu Sakura Kasugano Gouki
Sagat Adon Ryu
Sakura Kasugano Sagat Ryu
Sodom Ken Guy
Vega Charlie Ryu
Zangief Birdie Ken
FIGHT SHIN GOUKI (in Arcade Mode)
----------------------------------
If you're the first player, select your character's outfit color LP.
If you're the second player, choose the outfit color with LK. Now,
fight your way through the game without losing a single round. You
must also get at least 3 Perfect Wins and 5 SC or OC wins (or a
mixture of the two, like 2 OCs and 3 SCs). If you manage to do all
this, then Shin Gouki will fight you for your next-to-last battle.
If you win, you'll go on to fight your normal boss.
SURVIVAL MODE - SSF2X STYLE SET-UP
----------------------------------
Hold down the shoulder L button, then select your character, etc. and
keep holding L. If you did it correctly, Chun-Li will be replaced by
SF2-costumed Chun-Li, and your last boss will be Shin Gouki.
SURVIVAL MODE - ALTERNATE SET-UP
--------------------------------
Hold down the shoulder R button, then select your character, etc. and
keep holding R. If you did it correctly, the lineup will change, and
your last boss will be Vega.
PLEASE NOTE (for the two below codes and related tricks):
(I've only been able to get the Infinite OC Time code to work, and
that was by holding down L _and_ R at the same time. However, it
seems strange that one code would be in and one would be missing,
so I'm leaving the Autofire code and related tricks in this FAQ
until I'm certain that the code is or isn't in SFZ2 DASH.)
INFINITE OC TIME IN TRAINING MODE
---------------------------------
Go into TRAINING MODE and hold down the shoulder L button _and_ START.
While holding both these buttons, choose your character with another
button, and then hold all three buttons down. Use a fourth button to
start up the actual battle. Keep holding all the buttons until the
round actually begins, and you'll have an Original Combo meter that
empties and disappears while you stay in 'OC' mode. Exiting back to
the menu is the only way to stop the Original Combo (don't worry, the
trick will still be working), but if you exit out back to the main
menu (to select another character), the trick will end.
You can combine this code with the AUTO-FIRE code below by holding
both L, R, and START at the same time when doing the code.
AUTO-FIRE BUTTONS IN ARCADE AND TRAINING MODE
---------------------------------------------
Go into TRAINING MODE and hold down the shoulder R button _and_ START.
While holding both these buttons, choose your character with another
button, and then hold all three buttons down. Use a fourth button to
start up the actual battle. Keep holding all the buttons until the
round actually begins, and you'll find that pressing any button makes
your character peform that Punch or Kick repeatedly. This is quite
useful when you're using a character like Gen or Chun-Li. Like the
INFINITE OC TIME code, you can exit into the Training Mode menu and
this trick will still work, but if you exit out back to the main menu,
the trick will end.
You can combine this code with the INFINITE OC TIME code below by
holding both L, R, and START at the same time when doing the code.
=============================================
VARIOUS TRICKS FOR STREET FIGHTER ZERO 2 DASH
=============================================
BACKGROUND TRICK FOR THE ARIZONA STAGE
--------------------------------------
Those of you who own SFA2 will notice that Sodom's stage is
'Americanized'. In SFA2, it was very Japanese in appearance, but
there was a 1-in-64 chance of the background being 'Americanized'
when you fought in Arizona. In SFZ2 DASH, it would seem as if it's
always 'Americanized'. Anyone with any info on this?
EASY 'SHUN-GOKU-SATSU' COMMAND
------------------------------
Enter the AUTO-FIRE code above. When playing with Gouki, Shin Gouki,
or Evil Ryu, you can easily pull off a 'Shun-Goku-Satsu' with a Level
3 Super Combo gauge by holding LP, LK, and HP, then pressing forward
on the controller.
SCREW PILEDRIVER SUPER SHADOW TRICK
-----------------------------------
Play with Zangief and do a Custom Combo. Get next to your opponent
and perform a Screw Piledriver. Your opponent will be trailed by
Super Combo shadows as if you'd done the Final Atomic Buster SC.
_________________________________________________________________________
8. ADVANCED TACTICS
_________________________________________________________________________
Note that these tactics were written with SFZ2 DASH in mind. This means
that not everything in here is applicable to SSF2 or SSF2X. However, the
reason why I haven't written a strategy for those two games is because
(a) just about everyone knows how to play the game by now, and (b) even
if you didn't, everything that _is_ about SSF2(X), such as escaping from
a throw, etc. can be found in this section.
TACTICS KEY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that ASCII art is used to represent the controller motions for this
section (I think people have an easier time understanding it). Please
keep this diagram in mind when reading the combo examples and other
illustrations involving the buttons and controller:
O O O JUMP BACKWARD JUMP UP JUMP FORWARD
\ | /
O-- O --O WALK BACKWARD NEUTRAL WALK FORWARD
/ | \
O O O DEFENSIVE CROUCH CROUCH OFFENSIVE CROUCH
This diagram shows the joystick functions for a player facing right.
If you are facing left, reverse the left/right controls.
BLOCKING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most fundamental part of any fighting game, blocking is a skill that
must be learned in order to fight well. To block, hold back when you
are attacked. Your character will go into a defensive posture,
protecting you from aerial attacks and standing attacks. You can also
block while crouching by holding down-back, which can protect you from
low attacks, such as sweeps. In the Zero series, 'distance blocking' has
been added to the SF game engine. This means that if you hold back, you
will walk backward until the attack is close enough to cause damage, had
you not been blocking. In previous Street Fighter games, an opponent on
the other side of the screen could throw a punch or a fireball, and you'd
block. Now, you can put more distance between yourself and your\
challenger before needing to block.
Also new to SFZ (it remains unchanged in SFZ2 DASH), is the ability to
air block. Simply hold back while you are jumping in any direction, and
you will block if you are close enough to be hit by an attack. Air
blocking does not affect the arc or speed of your jump, although if you
successfully block an attack, you'll bounce backward and land on the
ground. You can air block the following attacks:
- Any normal punch or kick.
- Air or ground fireballs.
- Projectile-type SCs.
- Some SCs, such as Ken's ShinRyuKen or Nash's Cross Fire Blitz
Blitz.
- A few special moves and SCs, like Gouki's Go-ShoRyuKen or
Dan's Hissho MuRaiKen (but not often).
You can air block projectiles with little worry, so don't fret about
jumping backward and colliding with a fireball. But if you have the
choice of either air blocking a special move or trying to hit first
with your own attack, it's best to go on the offensive since air
blocking can be a little unreliable when used to defend yourself
against most other special moves and Super Combos.
AUTOMATIC MODE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auto-Blocking is the major feature of using the Automatic mode, which
bestows a variety of benefits (and hindrances) to the person who uses
it. When you use Automatic mode, your life bar is blue in color, and
a symbol with the word 'AUTO' will appear next to your portrait during
battle. With the automatic mode on, you gain the following abilities:
- Auto-Blocking. Unless you are making an attack, the computer will
automatically make your character block, crouch block, or if you are
in the air, air block. You can tell the difference between a normal
block and an auto-block because you flash when an auto-block is used.
Unlike SFZ, you have an unlimited number of auto-blocks.*
- Auto Super Combos. By pressing two buttons of the same strength
together, such as LP + LK or MP + MK (HP + HK no longer works, you'll
do a Super Combo. Either set of buttons causes you to do a specific
SC. However, because there are only two sets of buttons, you can only
do two SCs automatically. The drawback to having automatic Super
Combos is that you have to fill the entire Super Combo gauge to get it
to Level 1 strength, and you cannot go any higher than that. Listed
in the instruction booklet is an 'A' or 'B' next to the Super Combos;
the 'A' Super Combo is performed by pressing LP + LK and the 'B'
Super Combo is done by pressing MP + MK.
Note however, that it takes an _entire_ Super Combo Gauge (i.e. Level
1 strength) in order to perform a Zero Counter.
As you can see, using the Automatic mode is a mixed bag of good and bad
things. It is most useful for beginners who are still mastering the
basics, since it makes SCs easier to do and can help to protect you
more, but experience players will find that playing manually allows
for more freedom during the game.
* Some SCs will still override your automatic air-block. Obviously,
you cannot air-block unblockable attacks like the TenChuSatsu or
the Aerial Russian Slam, either. Interestingly enough, you can
also _block_ overhead hits while crouching when using Automatic
Mode.
TWO-IN-ONES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learning each character's special moves is definitely an advantage in any
SF game, but to really become a good player, it is essential to learn how
to combo. Two-in-ones are the most basic part of gameplay in any SF
game, and mastery of them is necessary before a person can learn how to
create combos. A two-in-one is a normal move, like a Medium Punch or
Light Kick, whose frames of animation are 'interrupted' by a special move
or Super Combo, such as a HaDoKen or a ShoRyuReppa. Despite what
beginners may think, there is more to using combos than just pressing a
few buttons and executing a move. Below is an simple illustration that
shows how to combo Guy's crouching MK into a LK Bushin SenPuKyaku.
|, Medium Kick, / O-- + Light Kick
O O
By looking at the illustration, you see that the Medium Kick is placed
'inside' the Bushin SenPuKyaku's motions. This means that you hold down,
press MK, then quickly roll the control pad to the back position and tap
LK. The result is that Guy does the first strike of his two-hit MK, and
interrupts the second hit with a hit from the SenPuKyaku. While it takes
practice to get the speed and timing required for a two-in-one, the
result is higher damage than just a simple crouching Medium Kick.
A general rule when using two-in-ones is to press the button for a punch
or kick after you've performed the first one or two motions for a special
move. If you were doing a ShoRyuKen, which is performed by pressing
forward, down, down-forward, and punch, you could interrupt with an
attack after pressing forward or down. Remember that in most cases, any
punch or kick can be used, from either the standing or crouching
position, and the special move can be any strength. Some normal punches
and kicks are too slow to be interrupted, though, and in some cases you
can only use a special move if you are standing or crouching. And some
special attacks may not hit as many times or even connect depending on
the strength used. In this case, Guy could not combo with a HK Whirlwind
Kick unless he was fighting a large character that was a big enough
target, like Birdie or Zangief.
Some special moves (and all Super Combos) require you to time a two-in-
one a little differently. Because there are more directions that have to
be pressed, it isn't possible to tap down, attack, and then try to two-
in-one into a ShinKu HaDoKen, for example. There are just too many
motions to do it fast enough. Following this paragraph is a diagram of
Gouki's Messatsu Go-Shoryu Super Combo. Examine it to see how you'd use
it in a two-in-one.
| \ --O |, Hard Punch, \ + any Punch
O O O O
By placing the attack halfway through the motions for this attack, you
are given enough time to finish off the remaining motions and button
presses. Notice that HP is pressed after moving down, instead of after
moving forward. If you pressed it then, Gouki would throw a Go-HaDoKen
(since the motion is down, down-forward, forward, punch). By moving to
down, you prevent Gouki from doing a special move. The result is a
quick Hard Punch that is interrupted by the hits of the Messatsu Go-
Shoryu SC. An important thing to remember is that you don't have to use
the same attack that corresponds with the special move (like using a
Punch and then comboing into a Punch special move). You could just as
easily use LP or MK and then finish doing the Messatsu Go-Shoryu. If
you use a medium or hard-strength attack, like MP or HK, make sure
you're not too close or you may throw your opponent instead!
As a last note, don't forget that there are some exceptions to the rule
of interrupting a special move with a normal attack. It's possible to do
certain moves, like Ryu or Gouki's standing MK, and then do the complete
motion for a fireball, etc., and the two moves will connect. There are
only a few moves like these, though. Another example would be Guy's
standing LK into the Bushin SenPuKyaku, or Ken's standing MK into any of
his special moves (except the Inazuma Kakato Wari).
TWO-IN-ONES USING CHARGE MOVES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charge moves are attacks like Vega's Double Knee Press or Chun-Li's
TenShoKyaku. These require you to tap the interrupting button and then
complete the charge motion in order to two-in-one. Look below for an
example of how to combo Nash's Sonic Boom:
Charge /, Medium Punch, --O + Punch
O
First off, notice that down-back is used to charge instead of back.
This prevents you from walking away from your opponent, since you need to
remain close to combo. Once you've charged long enough, simply tap MP
and push forward while pressing any Punch at the same time. Speed is
especially important when doing charge two-in- ones, since it's very easy
to "buffer" your first attack into the special move. Buffering is
discussed in detail later on in this section.
Charging down-up special moves works the same way:
Charge |, Light Kick, O + Hard Kick
O |
This illustration shows how to two-in-one Chun-Li's crouching LK into a
TenShoKyaku. There's not much to explain here, but remember that if you
were using a Punch instead of a Kick attack, like LK, that you'd have to
press HK very quickly or you'd end up buffering an attack that Chun-Li
doesn't have and wasting the charge.
Using two-in-ones in horizontal charge SCs, like Chun-Li's SenRetsuKyaku,
are relatively simple. Here, we see how to combo a crouching LP into the
SenRetsuKyaku Super Combo:
Charge / --O /, LP, --O + Kick
O O
It may be easier for some to replace the second down-back command with
back, making the interrupting move a standing LP instead of a crouching
one. Either way, keep in mind that even though tapping back and forward
seems fast, you can only combo a charge SC if you two-in-one near the
end, or you'll run out of time.
Now that I found a better way to use Nash's Somersault Justice SC and
Chun-Li's HaZan TenShoKyaku, I can include a section on how to two-in-one
these moves. The motion is done like this:
Charge / --O O--, Light Punch, O + Kick
O /
Before sliding your thumb from down-back to up-forward, insert the attack
of your choice. It's very tricky at first, but becomes easier with
practice. The easiest way to do either of these moves, by the way, is to
quickly tap down-forward after charging, then roll your thumb to down-
back and slide it quickly upwards and across the controller, pressing the
button at the same time as you reach up-forward.
BUFFERING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you've learned how to two-in-one, you need to learn how to
buffer special attacks. This seems complicated at first, but is actually
very simple. It can be used to pull off combos quicker and is simpler
than normal two-in-ones. Buffering is used mostly with projectiles, but
works well for just about any special move. The following diagram shows
how to buffer a Medium Kick into a TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku with Ken:
|, Medium Kick (hold), / O-- + (release Medium Kick)
O O
Read correctly, this means that you press down, tap and hold MK, then
roll the control pad to the back position and release MK. This causes
Ken to perform a crouching Medium Kick and then cancel into a
TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku of the same strength. The only rule to buffering
is that you HAVE to remember to let go of the button when you finish
the controller motion, and that you can only buffer using the same type
of attack (Punch to Punch, Kick to Kick), that is also of the same
strength. Remember Gouki's Messatsu Go-Shoryu? Now, it looks like this:
| \ --O |, Hard Punch (hold), \ + (release Hard Punch
O O O O
This probably looks confusing, but it makes sense once you actually
try it. According to the diagram, you roll the control pad from down
to forward, then smoothly roll it back to down again, then press and
hold HP. Without stopping, roll the pad from down to forward, and
release HP Gouki will throw a crouching Hard Punch and then execute
a Level 1 Messatsu Go-ShoRyu SC. This is where the PUNCHX2 (X3) and
KICK X2 (X3) buttons come in handy because they work like weak attacks,
allowing you to buffer a Light Punch or Light Kick into a Level 2 or 3
SC, depending on how much Super Combo power you have.
BUFFERING WITH CHARGE MOVES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's far simpler to buffer a charge move than it is with other types of
special attacks. To demonstrate this, look at how Birdie's Bull Head
is buffered by a crouching Medium Punch:
Charge /, Medium Punch (hold), --O + (release Medium Punch)
O
All you have to do is charge down-back (to prevent from moving back), hit
and hold MP, then slide your thumb across the pad to forward and release
MP. You'll get an instantaneous buffer into the Bullhead. 'Vertical'
charge moves are also easy to buffer. Recall what I said about doing
Chun-Li's TenShoKyaku? Just charge down, press and hold LK, then press
up and release LK. It's that simple. Remember, you can charge down-back
to use either a horizontal or vertical charge move, which is useful if
you're unsure of what attack to buffer when you have a chance to combo.
Buffering charge SCs is not very complicated. Shown below is the method
used to buffer Chun-Li's SenRetsuKyaku SC with a crouching Light Kick:
Charge / --O /, Light Kick (hold), --O + (release Light Kick)
O O
Perform the attack just as if you were going to two-in-one it, but hold
LK after the second down-back press and release it after sliding to
forward. This makes Chun-Li kick her challenger then break into the
SenRetsuKyaku SC for some heavy damage. Just like with Birdie, you can
switch the second down-back press with back if you want to do a standing
attack.
To buffer a 'vertical' SC, you may want to refer to the section on two-
in-ones using vertical SCs to understand how the move is done and when
the normal attack is inserted. Below is an illustration of how one of
these SCs is buffered:
Charge / --O O--, Light Kick (hold), O + Kick
O /
It's easier to buffer Chun-Li's SC with a crouching Medium Kick, but the
LK will work for Nash's Somersault Justice, too. When doing either move,
just perform it normally, but hold down the Kick button while sliding the
pad from down-back to up-forward. It's much easier than it seems once
you've tried it a couple of times.
JUGGLING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juggling first showed up in SF games after SSF2 came out. The idea is
that you use normal attacks, special moves, or even SCs to 'juggle' your
opponent in the air and hit repeatedly without fear of retaliation, since
juggling leaves your opponent defenseless if they don't air-block the hit
that juggles them. For example, Gouki can do a LK TatsuMakiZanKuKyaku
and then immediately follow with a Go-ShoRyuKen. Not only do the special
moves connect to each other, but it keeps his opponent in the air, hence,
a 'juggle'. In most cases, only a certain type of attack, (like Ryu's
jumping MP), or a certain special move (Gouki's TatsuMakiZanKuKyaku) can
juggle. A noticeable exception to this are most Super Combos, which can
juggle an opponent (usually for less hits than normal) in most cases.
For instance, Ryu can two-in-one a crouching HK into the ShinKu HaDoKen,
which will juggle his foe after he is tripped by the kick. While, in
this case, the juggle causes less damage and hits than a normal two-in-
one, some juggles are very damaging. Guy can do his Kick grab in the
corner and then do a Level 3 Bushin HassoKen for immense damage, but
timing is critical. Custom Combos, which are described in a separate
section, are really nothing more than ways to repeatedly juggle your
opponent with moves that normally wouldn't allow for juggles.
Experiment with different characters to see what moves can juggle your
opponents and which ones cannot.
CROSS-UPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cross-ups are jumping attacks that look like they could be blocked
normally but must be blocked in reverse (by holding forward) because they
cross to the opposite side and switch the direction both characters are
facing. Cross-ups are extremely useful for starting combos because they
are hard to block correctly. Unless otherwise stated, all characters can
cross-up using a jumping Medium Kick. Some characters can cross-up using
other attacks as well:
Birdie - jumping HK or jump, then down + HP
Chun-Li - down-forward + HK
Vega - jumping LK only
Rolento - jumping MP
Sagat - jumping LK only
Sodom - jumping LK only
Zangief - jump, then down + HP, or jump, then down + LK/MK
Some characters, like Vega, Guy, and Rolento require you to be further
away from your opponent than normal before trying to do a jumping cross-
up attack. Gen can cross-up with Medium Kick when using either style and
Dhalsim cannot cross-up at all. Unlike all other characters, Chun-Li's
RakuKaku Kyaku is an actual move (not just a normal attack or a
variation of a normal attack), but it cannot be used to start a combo.
COMBOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combos have remained relatively the same throughout the SF series. Even
in SFZ2 DASH, they are virtually unchanged from the previous games. Like
in SFZ, doing a combo will reward you with an on-screen point tally, as
well as a count of the number of hits, and a congratulations, such as
"Good" or "Marvelous". A combo can be basically summed up in the
following illustration:
Jump attack - Standing/crouching attack x# - Special Move or SC
Combos can follow this layout, or they may be completely different:
Adon - cross-up MK, c LP, L3 Jaguar Variable Assault
Gouki - j MK, c LK, LK TatsuMakiZanKuKyaku,
HP Go-ShoRyuKen
Birdie - cross-up jumping down + HP, c HP
Chun-Li - L1 SenRetsuKyaku, L1 KiKoSho, HK TenShoKyaku
Dan - cross-up MK, c HP, HP GaDoKen
Dhalsim - LP Yoga Fire, s HP (full-screen distance)
Gen - j HK, c LP, L3 ZanEi (So-ryu)
- j (HK, HK), s LP, s LP, s LK, L3 JaHoKa (Ki-ryu)
Guy - s LP, s LP, s LP c LK, HK Bushin SenPuKyaku
Ken - j MK, s MK (1 hit), HP ShoRyuken
Nash - j HK, c LP, c LK, HP Sonic Boom
Rolento - j MP, Patriot Circle (x3)
Rose - L1 Soul Illusion, j HP, c HP, HK Soul Spiral
Ryu - j MP, s MK (1 hit), HP ShakuNetsu HaDoKen
Sagat - c LK, L1 Tiger Raid, MP Tiger Blow (in corner)
Sakura - j HP, c LK, c LK, L3 Midare Zakura
Sodom - j HP, s LK, L3 Meido no Miyage
Vega - j LK, s HK (1 hit), Vega Warp (vs. certain foes)
Zangief - cross-up Body Splash, s LP, Double Lariat
Shin Gouki - ZanKu HaDoken (from far away), ShunGokuSatsu
'Satsui no Hado' Ryu - j MP, ShunGokuSatsu
SF2 Costumed Chun-Li - c LK, SenRetsuKyaku, Hazan-TenShoKyaku
CE Dhalsim - LK Drill Kick, s HP (1 hit), HP Yoga Fire
(corner)
CE Zangief - cross-up Body Splash, c LK, Double Lariat
X-Men Cammy - s LP, c LK, c LP, L3 Spin Drive Counter
The jump attack is usually a deep hitting punch or kick that enables
someone to proceed with a few normal attacks, the last of which is
two-in-oned (and/or buffered) into a special move or even a Super
Combo. Even if the first attack is not a jump attack, it has to be
an 'initializer', a move that allows that warrior to hit with a
consecutive attack, or it is impossible to combo. The reason why
this section doesn't need much explanation is because once you've
learned how to two-in-one and buffer, combos are nothing more than
getting in close and proceeding your two-in-one or buffer with a
few normal attacks.
CHAIN COMBOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new and prominent feature in SFZ, Chain Combos have been all but
eliminated in SFZ2 DASH. Although Custom Combos somewhat fill up the
void caused by this, the loss of chains has severely weakened some
characters, like Rose and Sagat. As of this writing, the only
warriors who have kept some of their chains are Ryu, Ken, Gouki, Guy
and Gen. Guy has only one chain, his combination attack from Final
Fight, and Gen has several chains, albeit short ones, that he can wield
when using the So-ryu style of attack. Ryu, Ken, and Gouki still have
their c MP, c MK chain. For the most part, though, chain combos are
gone for good. Players who are new to SFZ2 DASH need to know how to use
chains; they are done simply by pressing the attack buttons in a sequence
from least to strongest strength, and can move freely between Punch and
Kick. A combo like LK, MK, HP would be one such example. Chains violate
the normal rules of comboing (usually, normal attacks can't be used more
than once in a combo, unless they are weak attacks), but are similar in
the respect that it's possible to two-in-one the end of a chain into a
special move. Gen's chains have more freedom than the chains found in
SFZ; they are listed in detail in his profile section. Most (but not
all) warriors can link together LP and LK attacks (sometimes only in the
corner). They're not real chains, but that's about all the other
warriors have left now. These are listed in the character profiles in
sections 3 and 4.
For example, look at Sakura's links:
c LP, c LP, c LK, s LK
s LP, s LP, s LP, s LK
s LP, c LP, s LP, s LK
s LP, c LP, c LP, s LK
c LP, c LP, c LP, s LK
c LP, c LK, c LP, s LK
s LP, c LK, s LP, c LK, s LK
c LP, c LK, c LP, c LK, s LK
c LK, s LP, c LK, s LK
c LK, c LK, c LP, s LK
c LK, c LK, c LK, s LK
These attacks are really nothing more than quick-hitting LP and LK
attacks, but considering that Chain Combos are gone for good, they're
about as close as the other characters can get to guys like Gen, who
has real chains. Also, the majority of these 'fake' chains only
work in the corner of the screen, and some only hit bigger characters.
ORIGINAL COMBOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking the place of chain combos are the all new Original Combos, or OCs
for short. An Original Combo is activated by pressing two punch buttons
and one kick button (or vice versa), or by setting a button to display
the message 'OriCom'. When you use an OC, in air or on the ground, your
character will flash as if he was going to do a Super Combo, and then
walk forward very quickly, a trail of purple shadows behind him. During
this time, you can do any punch, kick, or special move without having to
worry about multiple attacks (such as two fireballs), or lag time between
moves. Even hard attacks will come out as quickly as light ones. Also,
practically every attack will juggle with each hit, so you can link moves
together in one combo that aren't possible to do normally. Another
important fact is that you don't need to charge during an OC. You could,
for example, throw repeated Psycho Shots. You can also taunt for as long
as time allows, even if you've already used your taunt. Remember that
you can't combo a taunt and that the damage that they cause remains the
same (it is possible to juggle them though :)). As powerful as they may
seem, Original Combos do have their downside. Most noticeable is that
all standard attacks cause considerably less damage, and the damage that
special moves inflict is reduced after the first hit. Secondly, OCs use
Super Combo gauge power, which is converted into a thin timer that
appears over the Super Combo Gauge.
The more Super power you have, the more time you have, but even at Level
3, you only have a few seconds of OC power before the combo ends and you
are left with an empty meter. Not only can you not control how much
power is drained in order to use an Original Combo, but OCs will even use
up your Super power if you (for example), are almost to Level 3 but not
quite. Instead of draining two levels and leaving you with almost enough
power to reach Level 1, it will simply empty your whole Super bar.
Finally, you cannot do throw or grab attacks during an OC, and you can't
block, Zero Counter, or use Super Combos, either. Special throws, like
Birdie's Bandit Chain, do not gain any advantages such as extra damage or
more hits. Overhead attacks, like Sakura's f+MK move, retain their lag
time and cannot be comboed, although they can still break the guard of a
opponent.
Another aspect of using OCs is timing. You cannot jump once an OC is
activated, and you keep on walking forward, so if your opponent jumps
or teleports behind you, you've not only wasted precious Super energy,
but you're also a sitting duck. Secondly, you can't cross-up an attack
and then do an OC, or you'll just walk away in the wrong direction. OCs
do not make you invincible, and if you're hit out of one, the combo
automatically ends. However, you'll retain any unused Super power, as
long as it is over a level (i.e. if you had 1 1/2 levels of Super energy
left when you were knocked out of an OC, you'd keep 1 level and lose the
1/2). If you use an OC in air, and have a move that can be performed
while jumping, it's possible to use it once (or even twice), and then
land and continue the OC. The damage is, of course, minimal, and your
character falls very quickly after starting an OC so it's not too easy in
the first place. If you want to be flashy, though, it can be quite
amusing to see Shin Gouki throw four air fireballs on screen at once!
When using an Original Combo, more damage is inflicted by using special
moves and by continuous juggling, rather than just doing a barrage of
Strong Punches and the occasional special move. This makes OCs very
effective in the corners of the screen, where the opponent is pinned
against the wall and can only escape damage by blocking or using an ZC.
A good tactic to avoid being attacked or hit by an Zero Counter is to
switch between special moves and low attacks, like crouching HK
kicks, to make yourself less of a target. Also, crouching attacks have
the tendency to knock an opponent up in the air (remember that they
cannot attack while being juggled). If you use an OC to kill your
opponent, you'll lose all of your OC power when the next round starts,
even if you killed your challenger right at the beginning of the OC
and still had lots of Super power left.
SUPER COMBOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Combos, the 'trademark' of the Zero series, are back and remain,
for the most part, unchanged. They still require 1, 2, or 3 levels of
power from the Super Combo gauge to perform, and the motions are still
double fireball, hurricane kick, or charge motions. To fill the Super
Como Gauge, located at the bottom of the screen, you can do any of the
following things:
- Throw a medium/hard punch or kick.
- Throw a punch or kick that hits.
- Get damaged by an attack.
- Perform a special move.
- Have your attack or special move blocked by an opponent
(excluding light attacks).
- Taunt while standing or crouching (only in Dan's case).
Even special moves that can miss, like Zangief's Screw Piledriver, still
increase the amount of Super Combo power you have. The only special move
that doesn't increase SC power is Ken's roll. Also, 'fake' moves, like
Ryu's HaDo no Kamae, won't increase the SC gauge. Finally, taunts that
hit don't increase Super power even if they do connect.
After enough power has been acquired, a portion of the Super Gauge will
begin to flash, indicating that you've gained a level. You can tell
that the power you gain is filling up the next level because the color
will change. It changes again when you're filling up the third level.
Once the Super bar is completely full, a bar with the word 'MAX' appears
above the bar. This power can be used for Zero Counters, Original
Combos, or in this case, Super Combos. Once you have at least one level
of Super Combo power, do the motion listed under the character profile
and press the required button (punch or kick). Pressing one of the
required buttons will drain one level of Super energy and will make your
character perform a Level 1 SC. Pressing two of the required buttons
will drain two levels of Super energy and causes your character to do a
Level 2 SC. Pressing all three buttons (like 3 kicks), makes your
warrior do a Level 3 Super Combo. You cannot do a Level 2 or 3 Super
Combo if you only have one or two levels in your Super bar, and you must
have a full level, not an almost-full one. Generally, the more power
used for a Super Combo makes it stronger. A Level 3 SC is nearly
impervious to projectiles, and it moves faster, hits more times, and
causes more damage than a Level 1 SC, which usually would have a short
range, no invulnerability, and would inflict less hits. The tradeoff
here is that if you miss with a Level 3 SC, then you've just wasted a
whole Super bar, but if you miss with a Level 1 or 2 SC, you still retain
extra Super power, although if you do hit, you're causing less damage.
The player's style determines how he or she uses SCs; in other words,
it's all up to you.
When you do a Super Combo, your inner energy will collect and swarm
around you for a second while the screen darkens. All action pauses
during this time, but your opponent (or you) can still charge up or do
the motions for a move during this period of inactivity. Also, if your
opponent was doing a move that was about to hit, and you do the SC, the
frames of animation will skip ahead just a little to let you know
whether your SC really came out fast enough, or if your enemy got the
upper hand. This prevents people from doing a Level 1 every time they
get attacked and knocking away the attack with the SC, which almost
always has priority over normal attacks. During the SC itself, colored
shadows follow you. These don't have any purpose aside from looking cool
and letting you know that you're doing an SC (as if the power-up before
the SC didn't clue you in).
ZERO COUNTERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The famous (or infamous) addition to SFZ, Zero Counters have been
improved somewhat since then. To do an Zero Counter, you need to have
one full level of Super power, _and_ half a level more (in other words,
half of the whole meter [1.5 + 1.5 = 3 levels]). Block your opponent's
attack while standing or crouching, (whether their attack is a punch,
kick, special move, Super Combo or Original Combo), then immediately do
the following motion:
O-- / | + Punch or Kick
O O
Your character will interrupt the block with a special animation frame
and will then perform a special move or normal attack designed to knock
the enemy far away (although not all the way across the screen). The hit
opponent will turn around and around, surrounded by twisting blue lines.
He/she cannot throw soften, roll, or try to ZC the Zero Counter during
this time. The only exceptions are Dhalsim and Sodom. Dhalsim can
perform his escape while spinning, and Sodom can use the Ten-Gu Walking
(but not his roll escape) as he lands from the ZC. Unlike SFA, a
character can use any punch OR kick to trigger an ZC. Punch ZCs, in
general, are slow but are good for hitting jumping attacks or standing
attacks, and hit high. Kick ZCs hit low but move quickly and work best
against crouching attacks or close fireball attacks. Since they are
fast, they are also better at stopping SCs and ZCs. Most punch ZCs are
so slow that you'll ZC your enemy's Super Combo but be too slow to do
the special move, and end up getting hit by the rest of Super Combo
anyway. Some SCs, like Vega's Knee Press Nightmare, can easily override
a low Kick ZC and are therefore more susceptible to Punch ZCs. Note that
the strength of the button pressed doesn't affect the damage or
appearance of the Zero Counter, and that all ZCs cause little damage in
the first place.
OVERHEAD HITS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overhead hits will automatically break the guard of your opponent if he
is crouching while blocking and will inflict minor damage. They are
designed to prevent people from 'turtling up' and blocking for the
entire round. However, overhead attacks are notorious for their slow
speed. Even worse, they are easily recognizable because the hit is
often preceeded by a yell, grunt, or extra frames of animation, allowing
the blocking person to switch to a standing block, which will defend him
or her from the overhead hit. Luckily, some special moves have overhead
hit capabilities, so they aren't too hard to use freely. The
following is a list of each character's overhead hit:
Adon - forward + MP
Gouki - forward + MP
Birdie - standing HK
Chun-Li - hcb + K
Dhalsim - hold backward + LP
Guy - forward + MP
Ken - forward + MK
Nash - back/forward + MK
Ryu - forward + MP
Sakura - forward + MK
Birdie's standing HK only acts as an overhead hit on the way down.
Also, Dhalsim's attack will only act as an overhead hit if the
move is allowed to complete it's course; letting go of LP early
makes it act like a simple standing Light Punch.
DOUBLE-HITS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section lists each character's double-hit attack. Remember that
most double-hit attacks can be interrupted into a special move after the
first hit, and that some double-hits also work as overhead attacks.
Keep in mind that the size and position of your opponent may affect
whether or not the move hits twice.
Adon - forward + MP
Birdie - s HK, s HP, c HP
Chun-Li - j MK, j HK
Dhalsim - back + MP
Gen - s MP, s HK (Ki-ryu style)
Gouki - forward + MP, s MK
Guy - forward + MP, down-forward + HK, c MK
Ken - forward + MK, s MK
Rolento - s HP, c MP, j MP (hits 3 times)
Ryu - forward + MP, j MP, s MK
Sagat - s HK
Vega - s HK
Zangief - s HK
Cammy - s HP (not too close)
Excluding Chun-Li's jumping MK, which only hits during a vertical jump,
all jumping attacks are assumed to be done while leaping forward.
Remember that some of Chun-Li, Vega, Sagat, and Zangief's attacks only
work against certain characters. Also, Birdie's standing HP will usually
only hit once, either on the way up or on the way down, it can hit some
characters twice if used from up close (like Nash or Zangief)
ROLLING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rolling hasn't changed much since it's incarnation in SFA. It allows
you to tuck into a ball and roll toward (and sometimes through) your
enemy, so you won't be floored by an attack or be left in a compromising
position (like in a corner). You can only roll after being thrown,
knocked out of the air by an attack, or after air blocking. When you
are in such a situation, perform the following motion:
O-- / | + Punch
O O
Doing so will make you roll forward. Note that the strength of the
button used doesn't affect the amount of time you spend rolling, nor
does it add to the distance you cover. Some characters, like Gouki,
Shin Gouki, and Ken have rolls that can be done manually (while on
the ground), and Ken even has a fake roll.
RETREAT ROLLS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a little unsure about this, but here goes: after a combo, SC, or
OC, your character may roll _backward_ when he lands. This, as far
as I can tell, is automatic. The two moves that seem to cause a
'retreat roll' the most often are Ryu's Vacuum Hurricane Kick SC and
Guy's combination attack chain combo. Aside from putting more distance
between you and your enemy, these rolls have no other benefit. Also
notice that if you kill a CPU-controlled opponent, he may do the 'retreat
roll', even though he's dead when he stops. Sodom has a manual 'retreat
roll' that he can use in place of the 'Ten-Gu Walking' attack (either
move can only be done while falling in air, similar to the 'Rolling'
situation described in the previous section).
THROWS AND GRABS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throwing and grabbing are useful ways to drain life quickly without
complicated joystick motions or button presses. Every character has at
least one throw or one grab, but most have more. To do such an attack,
hold forward or backward and press the medium or heavy punch/kick button.
Throws take off damage in one clean sweep, while grabs take off only
moderate damage unless the buttons are pressed repeatedly and the
controller is shaken, causing the grab attack to go faster and take off
more life. The person being grabbed can do the same thing to escape from
a grab faster and take less damage. Throws and grabs cannot be blocked,
but they can be 'softened' by pressing towards your opponent just after
the throw or grab ends (but before you hit the ground), and pressing a
medium/heavy punch or kick button. If done correctly, you will land on
your feet and take less damage. This is also known as Throw Recovery or
Throw Teching, because you get a Tech. bonus for softening a throw or
grab. Note that you cannot soften a 'special' throw, like the Choke
Chain or the Final Atomic Buster SC. It's possible to shorten the
length of a grab and soften it as well for minimal damage, too. If you
press away from your opponent when doing a throw, you'll do the throw
backwards, which is useful if you want to trade places with your victim
if you're trapped in the corner. You can reverse air throws as well,
which is done by pressing forward or back and the medium or hard punch
button. Air throws are often easier to do if you come up from underneath
your opponent while he/she is jumping. You cannot reverse grabs, though,
and no character has an air grab.
TAUNTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taunts are accomplished by pressing L and R together. Alternately, you
can taunt by setting any button to CHOHATSU ('provoke'). Taunting makes
your character tease his opponent, pull on his jacket, do a winning pose,
etc. While it can be fun to infuriate an opponent by taunting after a
comeback or big combo, it can be dangerous, since you are defenseless
when taunting and can't block or attack until the taunt animation is
finished. Some characters' taunts can actually hurt their opponents, but
the damage inflicted is never more than one pixel-width. Taunts don't
cause block damage, and they can never do more than push the opponent
away, not knock him or her down. Also, you can only taunt once per round
(or as many times as you want during a OC). Note that Dan can taunt an
infinite number of times. Not only does he gain Super bar power while
taunting (not from jump taunts), but his taunts differ in appearance
depending on whether he is standing, crouching, or jumping. Dan has a
rolling move that ends in a taunt, not to mention both an ZC and a SC
that use taunts (whatta guy!)
- Birdie, Chun-Li, Gouki, Sakura, Sodom, Shin Gouki, Special Sakura,
and SSF2X Chun-Li can hurt opponents with their taunts.
- In addition to taunting with L+R or ChoHatsu, the following
characters can use a second taunt by holding forward and pressing
L+R or ChoHatsu: Nash, Ken, Vega, and Ryu.
- Birdie has three taunts that he can use by holding Back and
pressing L+R or ChoHatsu in addition to the other two methods.
- Dhalsim can taunt on the ground, or while jumping.
- Gen's taunt is faster in Ki-ryu style than it is in So-ryu style.
Taunts that hit lack tactical value, although it is possible to hit
someone out of an air attack with them or even nail them with one
while they're getting up to push them away. Although taunts are
too slow to two-in-one (although they can interrupt a normal attack),
you can juggle with them during an Original Combo. Get your opponent
into a corner and when he jumps, hit him with a weak attack, land, and
juggle with the taunt. My current best is a 5-hit combo 'taunt juggle'
with Chun-Li.

STREET FIGHTER ZERO 2 DASH'S "S-COMBO" MODE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This especially cool mode allows you to use Super Combos without wasting
SC gauge energy. Even better, it uses simplified moves, and you can
choose the level of Super power (1, 2, or 3), by using the light, medium,
or heavy button.
The only bad news is that in many cases, the simplified command for a
Super Combo will replace that of a normal mode. For instance, with
S-Combo activated, Ken does a ShoRyuReppa when you press f,d,df + Punch.
This means that you can't do a ShoRyuKen normally unless you're in the
middle of an Original Combo (since Super Combos can't be used during an
OC).
Listed below are the new motions for each character. Keep in mind that
some characters' arsenal becomes quite limited (like Sakura), when the
command for their Super Combo overrides the command for a normal move
(in her case, all of Sakura's moves are replaced with SC motions).

What this FAQ needs:
- Move names. All of the names in here were taken from the SFC manual,
but that manual doesn't list all the moves (so they are written as
'no name' instead). If you have any of the official Capcom names for
these moves (preferrably in Japanese), I could really use them.
- Corrections on the character stories. Practically every one of them
was based on several different sources, and so I really have no way
of knowing if something is incorrect/missing from them.
- Any other tricks/codes/various stuff that you can think of.
Too bad there's no Team Battle mode in this game, isn't it? All we get
is the crappy Gouki Mode. Can't win 'em all, I guess. ^_^;
