The order of your fighters will appear before a versus match, with “1”, “2”, or “3”. You can select the 1st and 2nd fighters of your team, and thus change the entire team order. To select the 1st fighter, press LP LK for the character marked “1”, MP MK for the character marked “2”, or HP HK for the character marked “3”. Then, press the same button combos to select the 2nd fighter. Finally, press Start.
How to defeat Abyss:
Select Cable. For Abyss’ first form, just block his attacks and then continuously press [Shoot] until he dies. For his second form, stay distant and continuously shoot until he dies. For his third form, use Cable’s Hyper Viper. It takes off 90-95% of his life in one blast and will be a 115-130 hit combo. Then, just hit him once or twice with any attack to defeat him.
Choose Megaman, Cable, and Cyclops. At Abyss, use Megaman then jump behind him and shoot. During his second form, use Megaman and continuously shoot him. You should have a level three power bar by now. At Abyss’ third form, wait. He will always dive down before attacking. When he reappears, do a Triple Hyper combo. If the game is set on very easy and high damage, Abyss should die in one hit.
Unlocking characters:
To unlock all the characters, you must use your most recently received characters at least once in arcade mode to continue unlocking new ones.
Akuma: Demon Rage:
To peform Akuma’s Demon Rage move, when at level 3, press LP(2), Right, LK, HP.
Cable: How to defeat Son Son:
When Son Son does her super into a big monkey, quickly do Cable’s Hyper Viper on her. It will cause 50%-75% damage.
Cable: Taunt:
Keep pressing [Taunt] when you are Cable to make him spin his pistol.
Dan: Super Taunt:
Note: This takes one level of your HC Gauge. While holding LK, perform two quarter circles Forward, then press Start. It does no damage, but is funny to watch. It is basically two and a quarter circles and the Taunt button.
Dan: Otoko-Michi:
If you have at least three or more gauges, press HP, LK, Back, LP, LP . He will then imitate Akuma’s Shungokusatsu. If successful, all your life will be depleted, leaving you with a one hitter.
Dhalsim: Control Yoga Flame:
Choose Dhalsim and any other two characters. Get the H.C. meter gauge higher then level 1, then do Dhalsim’s Yoga Flame. To change the direction of the flame, press Up or Down.
Hayato: Combos:
Use the following combos.
Thirteen-Hit Plasma-Sword Combo: Get your hyper gauge to level one. Jump in deep, press LP, while still in the air press LK,LP, LK, HP, Down, Down/Right, HP, Down, Down/Right [LP, HP] for seven hits.
Dark Knight: Get your special bar up to three, then press LP, HP, Back, LK, HK quickly. Do this when no more than half a screen away from your opponent. This special can take up to one half life alone.
Hayato has three basic combo skills that can be used in the game. No combo gauges will be used when the skills are used. Either press Left, LP, LP, LP, LP; or Left, LP, LP, LP, HK, LP, LP; or Left, HP, LP, HP, HP, HP.
Ryu: Shinku-Shoryu-ken:
Play as Ryu on his recommended support type and get up to three hyper combo gauges. Then, press Quarter Circle Forward twice and R (or two Punch buttons). Ryu should perform a powerful electrical element Sho-Ryu-Ken, taking life down to about % health. Note: The range for this attack must be very close up. It does not have as much forward momentum as a normal Sho-Ryu-Ken, but goes twice as high. It is not wise to use this move on its own. It is recommended that this move be used in a combo or when you are positive it will make contact.
San San: One hit kill on Spider-Man:
Use San San’s Eating special and have the damage on high.
Tyrant: Blow him up:
Send out the Tyrant. After he is done with his combo and starts yelling, press the combo for her rocket launcher and he will explode.
Wolverine: Longer Berserker Claw:
When playing as Wolverine and you are about to yse Berserker Claw, execute it with HP and tap it repeatedly. Note: The attack will not work every time you execute a Berserker Claw in fight. After doing a Berserker Claw, wait awhile, then do it again. It will not work two times in a row.
Stronger combos:
Delayed combos are usually more powerful than team hyper combos, though they are much more difficult to perform due to timing it to where you get the maximum power. For example, with Megaman, War Machine, and Iron Man, if you do their team combo it will do about a 40 to 60 hit combo; On the other hand, if you do each of their combos delayed and execute it correctly, you should be able to get from 75 to over 100 hits with one solid shot. In order to do a delayed Hyper Combo, have your first character do their combo. Then as they are doing the Hyper Combo execute your next character’s Hyper Combo. Then while that one is executing, use your third character’s Hyper Combo. It is all about timing and may require some practice.
200-hit combo:
Choose B.B. Hood, Cable, and Iron Man, and get your level 3 hyper combo. Wait until your opponent gets a striker out, then use the hyper combo. The combo should do at least 150-220 hits.
407-hit combo:
This trick only works if you are using three Iron Men and the opponents bust out a level 3 Hyper Combo and it misses; and all three characters are in the same location. Have at least three levels on your super combo. Get close and press LP(2) then activate your level 3 super. This combo under these circumstances will hit for a minimum of 405 hits, and more for larger characters.
3 team hyper combo variations:
When you select a person’s support type, you also change the type of hyper combo they use. For example, if you select Ryu’s recommended support type (projectile) and Akuma’s reccommended support type (anti-air) and Megaman’s type (projectile), when you use your 3 man hyper combo, Ryu will shoot his Shinku-Hadou-Ken, Megaman will use his Hyper Megaman, but Akuma will use his Metsatsu-Tetsumaki-Sennpu-Ryu-Ken (electrified hurricane kick). However if you change it to projectile type, Ryu will do his Hadou Ken, Megaman will do his Hyper Megaman, and Akuma will instead use his Metsatsu-Go-Hadou, thus making an all projectile hyper combo. Experiment with each mode to see which ones work best. A good way to get the most out of a projectile hyper combo is to have Captain Commando with his recommended support type. Because most beam attacks can easily be avoided by jumping, Captain Commando’s “Captain Sword” will cover the entire playing field, effectively pushing your opponent down into your beam attacks, even if blocking. By using this strategy you can do as much damage as possible, even if the opponent dodges the brunt of the attack.
Unlimited chain supers:
Note: This trick only works in training mode. Set the combo gauge to infinity in the training menu. Then, start a super and start another one. This can be done an unlimited amount of times. This works best with characters who have beam supers.
Easy points:
To get easy points in Training mode, leave the game on for five hours.
Do not pause the game. You will get 10 points every minute.
Insert a second controller, go to options, change the time to 30 seconds, and turn up the damage. Go to versus mode, turn the handicap down on controller two, and fight. You will get 100 points for each match.
To get easy points in arcade mode, fight up to Abyss in any difficulty on high damage. Your best difficulty setting is recommended. Once at Abyss, intentionally die on purpose multiple times. Continue, then die again. You will get 100 points every time a continue is used. When you finally choose to defeat Abyss, you will also get 50 points times the difficulty setting.
In order, choose Cable, War Machine, and Iron Man. When your point bar gets to the maximum, make them use their combo. This combo defeats your opponent in almost one move.
