This is just a short guide to what you can do with the game (in the
Training and Original Character Modes), the differences between the
modes and also acts as a full moves list. Please note that this is based
on the Japanese version of the game, and certain features might not be
available in the US version.
V1.1: More descriptions of the Original Character Mode and Options.
Corrections to General Moves.
V1.2: Correction to Damage Gauge in Regular Options.
V1.3: Corrections to Anakaris and Q-Bee's Moves List.
V1.4: Added in extra moves for Oboro, corrections for Anakaris, Pyron and Huitzil,
and better explanations for obtaining endings.
The Main Menu allows you to choose from Arcade, Versus, Training, Original
Character, Collection and Option.
- ARCADE & VERSUS
I don't think anyone doesn't know what these are. Versus mode will load
the character select screen all the time unless you turn short-cut on.
- TRAINING
In the training, you pick a character, and an opponent and you can train
your moves. Several options are available here.
- ORIGINAL CHARACTER
This is actually the Edit Character mode, where you can name, color and play
as your "pet" character. Can come up with some insanely powerful characters,
if you're good at it.
- COLLECTION MODE
Use this to view all 32 artworks of the game (or you can just pop the CD into
the CD-ROM of your PC and load the pics up). At the start, you can only access
Page 1 out of 4. To get the other 3, you have to play the Original Character
Mode.
- OPTIONS
The options screen. At first you can only access the default Options Screen.
After completing the requirements in the Original Character Mode, you can access
the DX Options and EX Options by pressing either L1 or R1.
>> TRAINING MODE <<
In the training mode, you can train all your combos and moves in here. By pressing
START to pause the game, and then pressing Select, you will be brought to an option
screen. Select Training Options, and you will be given a further choice of options.
Select Normal Mode and you will be given the following attributes to change.
ACTION:
What the opponent does. Can be set to Stand, Crouch, Jump, CPU or Human.
SS GAUGE: Either normal or infinity.
SPEED: Either normal or turbo.
CPU GUARD:
On or Off. Determines if the CPU opponent blocks after being hit
(like most other CAPCOM training modes)
SIGNAL:
Either AD Guard, Guard Cancel, Chain Combo or Off. If set, your
character will blink red if he/she is doing that particular move
(i.e. when doing chain combo).
ATTACK DATA:
On or off. The listing of hits and damage on the top right hand
corner of the screen.
HEX:
Either HEX8, HEX16, HEX32 or Off. If on, this will produce a grid
over the fighting area. The bigger the number, the bigger the
squares. Not sure what this is used for.
COCKPIT:
On or Off. Displays the life bar and Super Meter.
INPUT CHECK:
On or Off. Displays the commands being input (i.e. UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, etc.)
PUPPET SHOW:
Only available when using Lilith. Can be set to Off, or No.1 to
No.6. Each one represents a certain sequence of buttons to be pressed
during her Puppet Show EX Special.
Recording Mode will allow you to record your training session, and then replayed
using the Replay function. Change Character brings you back to the character
select screen and you can choose someone else to use.
>> ORIGINAL CHARACTER MODE <<
Another attempt by CAPCOM to provide players to "make" their own characters.
This one is generally better than the one found in Super Gem Fighter [Pocket
Fighter], as you get to control the "pet" character, instead of just watching
the computer play. Here's how the thing works.
You pick your character to use from the list given. Oboro needs you to hold
SELECT over Bishamon to be accessed, Shadow requires you to press SELECT
5 times at Random, and Marionette needs 7 SELECTS at Random. Once you've
chosen your character, you will then be given the choice of DF Change or
DF Power. Select well, as you can't change this after your character's
created.
Next you will have to name your character in 10 letters. After that, you will
be given the chance to color your character. The character in the middle
shows the current color conditions of your character. The shadow on the right
will have brighter dots, showing which pixel is currently associated with
the color you're dealing with at the moment. Move UP or DOWN to select which
color of the pallete to edit. Then hold the corresponding buttons shown at
the bottom and move LEFT or RIGHT to alter the color. You can press L1 or R1
to change to the next pre-determined color. However, one press of it, and
your own color combination will be erased. Pressing L2 and R2 will alter
the base color of the shadow.
Each character is given 3 characteristics:
POWER:
This determines the damage you character inflicts for his/her moves.
Starts at 1.
LIFE:
The number of lifes (or rounds) that your character has. Starts at 1.
SS GAUGE:
The level on your Super Meter that your character starts with for each battle.
Starts at 0.
Your edited character is born after you approved of it, and then it will be
known as the Guest character. Select 1P Battle, and then select Guest to use
your edited character.
Here's how it goes. You will actually play the arcade version with your Guest
character. Meaning, you will fight the boss (and mid-boss, if you can get it)
at the very end (7 stages, like the arcade). But then, no matter what your
current characteristics are, your opponent will ALWAYS have a set number of lives
and start with 0 Levels on the Super Meter. You can continue as many times
as possible. Each characteristic of your character has their own Experience
Points. The more battles you won, the more you gain. How much you gain is
also determined on the difficulty level you play on, with higher levels giving
you more experience points at one go.
For each characteristic, there will be a certain Experience Point that will
bring that characteristic to the next level. Once you hit this point, that
characteristic upgrade (i.e. getting 2 lives instead of 1). However, the
more you level up, the more Experience Points you need to reach the next
level. Also, there is a limit to how much your character can gain up to.
When a particular characteristic can no longer be improved, it will be
written "MAX". How many of each characteristic you can get before hitting
MAX depends on how you play the game. Certain criteria like using EX Specials,
or not using EX Specials, how fast you win, how many times you lost, etc.
will effect the amount of Experience Points gained, and also how much
you can gain up to. So, a proper balance and skill would be needed if you want
a incredibly powerful character.
Apart from this 3 characteristics, there is another that is not really labelled.
It is shown by a brooch-like icon. This will tell the "general" level your
character is in. By gaining a certain total of Experience Points, your "general"
level will level up. The first time you're playing this, each level up will
open up a certain part of the game.
You can also fight against another Original Character by loading into
the 2P's Guest Entry. With this, you can fight it out with a friend and
see who's "pet" is better. You can store up to 3 different characters
at a time in each Memory Card.

After selecting a character, you will be given the choice of Normal, Turbo, Auto
or Auto & Turbo. After choosing that, you will be given the choice (except for
Image Talbain and Marionette) of either DF Change or DF Power. Each DF mode
have their own effects.
- DF Change
Basically, the same as the arcade version. All moves in the arcade are
usable in this mode. Nothing more, nothing less. Activating your Dark
Force will make your character gain a special ability and it takes
1 Level to be executed.
- DF Power
The new mode to play with. The main difference in DF Power is your
character's Dark Force. Every character has the same Dark Force, and
it requires 2 Levels to be started. What it does is that, during the
time period of your Dark Force being active, all your attacks will
do permanent damage (red bar). Also, if you use attacks that require
the use of the Super Level, it will cause greater damage. Another
bonus is that, most characters can upgrade one of their EX Special
to have more features, apart from having more damage. ESpecial Moves
will have the character blinking red instead of the normal blue.
However, most characters still have their DF Change Dark Force by using
a certain motion. But then, unlike in DF Change, the character will
lose the ability once they get hit, or the time expires. But it does
last longer than the ones in DF Change.
Special Moves = Moves done using a certain motion.
ESpecial Moves = Upgraded Special Moves (done by pressing more than 1 button)
Character will be glowing blue (or red in DF Power) when
executing this. Will be referred to as ES (name of Special Move)
in the following sections. Most Special Moves can be ESpecial-able
but not all.
EX Special Move = Moves done with a certain command. Character will be changing
multiple colors when executing this. Will have the letters
EX followed by the number of levels needed to execute
(i.e. EX1 would require 1 level to be executed).
Guard Reversal = Reversal move that cancels the block animation frame into
a Special Move. Done by instantly doing F, D, DF + P (OR) K
(depends on character) after a block. Moves labelled with
GR in the moves list will mean it can be used as a Guard
Reversal. (GR ONLY) means the move can ONLY be done as
a Guard Reversal. (GR) means the move can be done anytime.
DF Power = Certain moves are usable only in DF Power. These are marked
with (DFP). Also, in DF Power certain EX Specials are upgradable
when used during the Dark Force. These are marked as (DFP-X)

- SHADOW / MARIONETTE -
Shadow and Marionette are not normal characters. They will use the
other characters to fight. Shadow will take the form of the character
that you last defeated (except the first). Marionette will always use
the same character as your opponent.
Well, actually, the game's combo system is rather easy, and mostly everyone
should be able to come up with their own combos. The general combos that
everyone can do are the chain combos done with
LP -> LK -> MP -> MK -> HP -> HK
All characters can do the chain combo above, but how effective are
they depends on the character. You can start the chain combo from any
button and als skip any move in the middle (i.e. MP -> MK -> HK). So,
with this, you can find which combination your character does best.
The moves will surely chain (i.e. your character will execute them),
but whether it's in range to hit is another question.
Once you started a chain combo into the MP or MK region, you cannot
cancel them into a Special or EX Special Move (unless you set DX Cancel
on), unless they are part of a button combination EX Special. Therefore,
Special Move combos are done with the following
LP -> LK -> Special Move
Again, you can skip start with any part and skip the middle parts. This
also applies to the following combos below. The good thing about CAPCOM
start anywhere within the combo.
A -> B -> C -> D
The above example can be done either from A to D, or B to D, or just
C and D. Use this method to find and create your own combos. That would
be the main fun in playing the game anyway.
But if you need any combos, here are just some that I found, that requires
some practice to pull it off. If you can do these flawlessly, congratulations.
I'll try to add more combos if I find anything else interesting. But,
seriously, the most fun you get out of the game would be to find your
own ways of attacking.
JEDAH:
ES Saw Blade (D, DF, F + P), move forward a little, LP, ES Imprisoning Claw
(D, DB, B + P), ES Pursuit Attack
- Rather simple. However, the hit counter won't show it's a
combo because of the delay of the ES Imprisoning Claw
ES Saw Blade (D, DF, F + P), The Contract (B, DB, D, DF, F + 2K, K)
- The Contract has to be done VERY fast, or else the opponent
might be able to escape.
ES Saw Blade (D, DF, F + P), Underworld (D, D + 2P), ES Pursuit
- Like the above, it has to be done VERY fast.
DEMITRI:
ES Fallen Angel (D, DB, B + K), MK, ES Chaos Fire (D, DF, F + P), Dash
forward, ES Demon Cradle (F, D, DF + P), ES Pursuit
- The MK must be pressed exactly when Demitri touches the floor.
Timing is very crucial.
ES Fallen Angel (D, DB, B + K), ES Demon Cradle (F, D, DF + P), ES Pursuit
- Shorter version of the above combo. The ES Demon Cradle has
to be done exactly when you touch the floor.
ES Fallen Angel (D, DB, B + K), MK, ES Chaos Fire (D, DF, F + P),
Midnight Bliss (D, F, DF + 2P)
- It's not really a combo, it's very hard to escape this trick.
Furthermore, the Midnight Bliss in unblockable.
ES Fallen Angel (D, DB, B + K), Midnight Bliss (D, F, DF + 2P)
- Easier...
Jump in, HK, land, Midnight Bliss (D, F, DF + 2P)
- Even easier...
Jump in, HK, land, LP, MP, (F, MK, MK)
- Do the bracket moves quickly and you'll surprise your opponent
with the Midnight Pleasure.
JON TALBAIN:
Multiple Images, Jump in, HP, land, LP, ES Nunchaku Flail (D, DB, B + P)
- An easy 27 hit combo, if you get most of the hits.
Jump in, HP, land, LP, MP, (F, LK, MK)
- The best way to hit with the Moment Slice. The LP, MP will
be a combo, stunning the opponent, and if you do the moves
in parenthesis quickly, he'll connect into the Moment Slice.
MORRIGAN:
Missile Launcher (MP, LP, B, LK, MK), Darkness Illusion (LP, LP, F, LK, HP),
ES Pursuit
- This only works if the opponent gets hit by the Missile
Launcher very close to you (not more than 1 character distance)
Start the Darkness Illusion near the end of the Missile Launcher
and Morrigan will go straight into the move.
Missile Launcher (MP, LP, B, LK, MK), Needle Impaler (F, HP, MP, LP, F)
- If you hit the opponents from across the screen with the Missile
Launcher, do this instead. It'll hit if you time it right. However,
the opponent must first be hit by the Missile Launcher while
standing on the floor.
Valkyrie Drill (F, DF, D, DB, B + K, THEN KICK), Darkness Illusion (LP, LP, F, LK, HP),
ES Pursuit
- The best move for Morrigan. Works best when your opponent's in
the corner, especially when they're stun doing some move. You
have to time the Darkness Illusion like the Missile Launcher
combos, and both moves will connect.
Jump in, HP, land, LP, LP, F, LK, HP
- Very easy move to connect the Darkness Illusion.
Jump in, LP, LP, F, LK, HP (all in the air)
- Even easier...
HSIEN KO:
Jump in, HP, land, LP, LK, HK (MP, MP, U), ES Knockdown
- Rather hard combo. The MP, MP, U has to be done FAST or else
the opponent could recover and block. Also, it depends on the
distance between you and your opponent as well. If it's too
far, the spiked balls would not hit the opponent.
LILITH:
ES Bow & Arrow (F, DF, D, DB, B + P), Luminous Illusion (LP, LP, F, LK, HP)
- Very easy combo. It'll hit while in the air.
ES Soul Flash (D, DF, F + P), Luminous Illusion (LP, LP, F, LK, HP)
- Can only be done in the corner, and you must be VERY close
to the opponent. And you have to start the Luminous Illusion
instantly after your Soul Flash's stun frame finishes.
ES Bow & Arrow (F, DF, D, DB, B + P), Gloomy Puppet Show (B, DB, D, DF, F + 2K)
- Very much like the first combo.
ES Bow & Arrow (F, DF, D, DB, B + P), Splendour Love (F, D, DF + 2K)
- Not as good as the previous ones, as it hits very little.
RIKUO:
Not much of a combo, but strategy. Since the Water Jail (F, D, DF + 2P)
only allows one extra hit when hit, it would be best to use the Aqua
Spread (F, DF, D, DB, B + 2P (OR) 2K) right after that. This would give
you more time to move around before the opponent can move. If you have
more Super Levels, time it right so that, when you release another
Water Jail, it would be very hard for them to escape. A trick is to
release a Water Jail very close to them, and if it appears behind the
opponent, hit them to push them into the Water Jail.
Q-BEE:
Again, not a combo but tip. When using the Flying Ability, have Q-Bee
float slightly above the floor (tap UP lightly). Then, keep holding forward
and tap LP, LK, MP, MK, HK, and repeat. This won't do much good if the
opponent blocks, but it kinda pressures them a little. You can could
them but come back to the ground and grab them once they are confused.
By holding forward all the time, you will be sticking to the opponent,
and would not distance yourself from him/her when attacking like usual.
Also, DO NOT press HP while flying, as it will automatically bring you
up higher.
