Modes of Play On the main menu, you are given four available modes to play in. Each mode is different and are based on what the mode applies to when playing it. Original Mode: The main mode of the entire game. You will fight through five battles, and take on M. Bison. After defeating him, you will reveal your fighter's ending. Some fighters (mostly Meteor Tag fighters) have different endings depending on which you chosen. Once you complete a battle, the last fighter you fought will eithier join you or you can decline. Select a fighter and a difficulty will involve the CPU's fighting skills once you fight in the arena. Arena Mode: Good for practicing on battles if you have trouble in Original Mode. You can also fight with your friends here. The given options in this mode are: Tag Battle: After choosing your fighter, select a partner to battle along with you against selected CPU opponents of your choice. Dramatic Battle: Fight with a partner against a CPU opponent, or play a solo match against three opponents. Team Battle: Think of this as "The Last Fighter Standing" mode. Select the # of fighters you will control (5 maximum) in your team, while your friend chooses the team of fighters of their own choice. Vs. Bison II: Pit yourself in a fierce battle with the true grand master, M.Bison II. (See the secrets section for more information) Multi Play Mode: Join the fighting fest with your friends. Choose one of the two options in this mode, then select the # of players playing. If you don't, you can fill the rest of the fighters as the CPU opponents. Character Edit Mode: Fulfill Ace's fighting abilities by earning experience points and buying moves to put on Ace. See the Character Edit Mode for more information. Training Mode: Practice your fighter's moves, Super Combos and Meteor Combo(s). You can use this mode to discover new things with your fighter, such as learning how to string their attacks together to create combos. 3. Basics/New Features Gauge Bonuses: Your fighter can obtain Gauge Bonuses under certain circumstances. Once your fighter fulfills it, their Super Combo Gauge will get additional energy, allowing quick level build-ups before you have a Super Combo level charged and ready for use. The following bonuses you can attain are: F(irst) Attack: By having your attack connect first in the arena, you will earn the F. Attack bonus, which will boost your gauge by 25%. Tech Hit: With precise timing, counter your opponent's throw by using the throw escape maneuver. You will get the tech-hit bonus, which will increase your gauge by 15%. Reversal: There are two ways in getting reversals. The first way is performing a Special Move after getting up from the ground. The other way is to perform a Special Move or Super Combo after blocking a Special. Eithier way, this will earn you a 12% boost in your gauge. Throw Escape: You can escape throws from your opponents via the throw escape. With precise timing, you can avoid getting thrown by your opponent. The throw escapes will take a while performing, as your opponents are easily unpredictable and will be ready with a throw. Cancel: This technique allows you to cancel regular moves into Special Moves. Once it hits, perform the motion of a Special. This will cause the regular move to immediately be followed up with that Special. Cancels are useful for stringing attacks into combos. Some special moves can also be cancel with others. Super Cancel: Super Cancels are similar to regular cancels, but cancel a Super Combo into another Super Combo, hence it's name. Super Combos can cancel into another Super Combo regardless of its activation once it is performed in a battle. Once you Super Cancel a Super Combo, a yellow flash will occur, and if you continue the process, a pink flash will occur. You are given the ability to use three levels of your Super Combo Gauge to perform up to three Super Combos with this technique, which will result in inflicting major damage to your opponent. Super Combos: As you gain gauge bonuses or attack your opponent with throws, regular attacks, special moves or perform Specials, your Super Combo Gauge will build up. Once you have reached a level in your gauge, you can perform Super Combos. Super Combos cause decent damage to your opponent when used right, and can be used in combos to inflict great damage. Super Combos have their own unique properties to each fighter. Moreover, each have their general purpose of use. Meteor Combos: Meteor Combos are generally your fighter's ultimate move. They inflict incredible damage, and are just as unique as with Super Combos. Each fighter possesses their own Meteor Combo, with each consuming three Super Combo levels for use in a battle. Combos: By stringing together multiple attacks or following up various moves other than using Super and Meteor Combos, you will create a combo. Combos involve multiple attacks performed and dealt to the opponent, while they form big damage as a result. Not only do combos do great damage, they can also make the battle against your opponent more easier. Learn how to string your attacks effectively with your fighter, and practice with your moves until you form a combo. Special Note: You can check my new Combo FAQ for combos on (nearly) each fighter. This will be put at GameFAQs, and you can find some combos if you are having trouble discovering combos with your fighter. New Features Surprise Blow: Surprise Blows have special properties and possess unique functions. If you hit a opponent jumping with a Surprise Blow, it will knock them out of the air, leaving you some time to set them up for a devastating move or combo while they get back up. If you hit them while they crouch-block, it will break their guard and stun them, which will leave them open to an attack or a quick combo for a few seconds. While they are fairly useful, Surprise Blows take a second before striking. A mistimed or blocked Surprise Blow will leave you wide open for a counterattack. Momentary Combo: Momentary Combos cause an automatic cancel of a Special Move once it hits the opponent. After it instantly connects, immediately press a Punch or Kick button. This will follow-up the current attack with another Special Move. You can string in some attacks with the use of the Momentary Combo, making it useful for performing damaging combos with your fighter. Keep in mind that the move you cancel with a Punch or Kick button will cancel into that specific move. Surprise Blows are also usable in a Momentary Combo, simply by pressing the MP+MK buttons simanteously after the first Special Move connects with the opponent. Tag Features Change: You can switch with your partner during a tag battle. Once your tag gauge (the blue bar) is full, pressing the HP+HK buttons simanteously will activate the change. The second fighter will then substitute the place of the current fighter, and continue the fight. Before changing with your second fighter, you both can attack the opponent after activating the change for a few seconds. Critical Parade: By inputting D, DF, F+HP+HK during a tag battle, both of your fighters will enter Critical Parade. You both can then attack the opponent together, and will get the use of unlimited Super Combos. The fighter who initiates the Critical Parade will always have a Super Combo activated during the Critical Parade. However, you will need a full tag gauge, and two Super Combo levels sacrificed with your two fighters in order to enter the Critical Parade. Meteor Tag Combo: Similar as to the Meteor Combo. Nevertheless, unlike the Meteor Combo, the Meteor Tag Combo involves two of your fighters attacking the opponent at the same time, and inflict an incredible amount of damage to your opponent. Only certain fighters possess the Meteor Tag Combo with specific partners. The fighter who initiates the combo must have a full tag gauge, and three Super Combo levels sacrificed at the use of the Meteor Tag Combo. Emotional Flow: When one of your fighters get defeated (or K.O.'ed), the remaining fighter alive will continue the fight until victorious or defeated along with the beaten partner. However, the fighter will get the partner's Super Combo Gauge, along with any of their Super Combo levels attained. Your fighter in this condition will then have certain advantages that are not possible in normal circumstances (i.e. your Super Combo Gauge). 4.

Original Mode/Medal Unlock Strategies and Descriptions Stage 1 - Dramatic Battle 1 vs. 3 Bronze Medal - Finish with a Super Combo This is relatively simple. Use the Surprise Blows often to K.O. the first two opponents, and if it did not worked, continue using LPs and/or LKs on your opponent to build the remains of your Super Combo Gauge, otherwise stay away from your opponent and perform your Specials. After you have a level charge in your gauge, weaken the opponent, then finish him off with your Super Combo. Silver Medal - Finish with a Meteor Combo This one's a lot harder than the first. Unless you have Bison II, use him for this task. Use his Knee Presses often, and once you beaten down the first two opponents, continue using the Knee Presses far away from the opponent to build up the gauge, and get away from your opponent if they get close. Once you build up the gauge, weaken the opponent, and activate the Psycho Break Smasher. Gold Medal - Get all Gauge Bonuses Platinum Medal - Finish within 5 Counts They are referring to finishing the stage before the timer passes 94 seconds. With Bison or Bison II, this should be easy. Just K.O. your three opponents with three Psycho Crushers. Hopefully they do not block the crushers, as that will waste more time. Stage 2 - Tag Battle 2 vs. 2 Bronze Medal - Pull off a tag combo during the change Obviously, one of the easiest tasks. After you change, just nail them with LPs and have your partner do the same. Silver Medal - Pull off a 20-Hit combo during the change Tough, unless you have Vulcano Rosso as your fighter and Area as your partner. Once you initiate the change, activate the Accelerando before Rosso switches, then have Area charge her Great Cancer. Release before Vulcano Rosso finishes, then Area's Great Cancer should provide the additional hits giving you a 20 or more hit combo. Gold Medal - Get over 100 damage during a change Platinum Medal - Perform a 30-Hit combo during the change Stage 2 - Tag Battle 1 vs. 2 Bronze - Perform a Momentary Combo Hit a P or K button the instant your Special Move connects. Silver Medal - Attack the opponent with a Momentary Combo Your second Special Move should hit the opponent in order to get this medal. Gold Medal - Attack the opponent with 2 Momentary Combos Platinum Medal - Attack the opponent with 3 Momentary Combos Stage 3 - Dramatic Battle 2 vs. 1 Bronze Medal - Succeed in 30 hits or more First play as Garuda. This will replace the Garuda here with Hokuto. Then have a partner, with the Manual setting so you control them as well. Jump over Hokuto as the battle starts, and your fighters have to be on either side of her. Just keep on using LPs on her and you should get a 30+ Hit combo. Silver Medal - Finish with Perfect! You can follow the above, but make sure you don't take damage otherwise, you will have to do it over again. Gold Medal - Perform 2 Meteor Combos Platinum Medal - Get over 100 damage in a single combo Stage 3 - Death Match 1 vs. 1 Bronze Medal - Perform a Reversal This is a lot easier if you have Zangief. If you get knocked down, once you get back up immediately use the Quick Double Lariat. Silver Medal - Perform 2 Reversals Follow the above. Gold Medal - Perform 4 Reversals Platinum Medal - Finish with a Reversal Stage 4 - Tag Battle 2 vs. 2 Bronze Medal - Finish with a Critical Parade Save you and your partner's Super Combo Levels once you gained them. K.O. the first opponent, weaken the second as best as you can, activate the Critical Parade, then finish the remaining opponent off. Silver Medal - Succeed 20 hits or more, using a Critical Parade Very simple. Of course, unless you fix your partner's setting to Manual, this should be simple. If you have Ryu and Sakura, just use their Shinku Hadoukens repeatedly to score 20 hits easily. Gold Medal - Perform a combo for 100 damage during a Critical Parade Platinum Medal - Perform a 40-Hit combo during a Critical Parade Stage 4 - Tag Battle 1 vs. 2 Bronze Medal - Succeed in 10 hits or more Relatively simple. If you don't get into the habit of using combos, simply execute your fighter's Meteor Combo - unless they don't do 10 hits. Silver Medal - Succeed in 20 hits or more Follow the above. A few choices for this are Ken's Kuzuryu Reppa, Sagat's Tiger Storm, or Garuda's Kyoujin Sanshuu. Gold Medal - Perform 2 Meteor Combos Platinum Medal - Finish with a Perfect! Stage 5 - Tag Battle 2 vs. 1 Bronze Medal - Succeed in a Meteor Tag Combo Of course, you will need the fighter's specific Meteor Tag partner for this. Time the activation very carefully, as Sagat is way too smart to let you overcome the battle with the Meteor Tag Combo. Silver Medal - Finish with a Meteor Tag Combo Same as above, but the combo must finish the opponent off. Gold Medal - Succeed in 10 hits or more then a Meteor Combo Platinum Medal - Succeed in 16 hits or more then a Meteor Combo Stage 5 - Death Match 1 vs. 1 Bronze Medal - Finish with a Surprise Blow Pretty straightforward, no strategies for this one. Silver Medal - Finish with a Momentary Combo The timing for this can be very tough. Try to weaken Sagat until his health is down to at least 20%. Your first Special should weaken him to at least 3 or 2 percent and your second will finish him off. Gold Medal - Finish with a Reversal Platinum Medal - Finish with a Perfect Stage 6 - Dramatic Battle/Death Match 4 vs. 1/1 vs. 1 Bronze Medal - Succeed in a Meteor Combo Just hope that your fighter's Meteor Combo will succeed in hitting Bison. Silver Medal - Succeed in two Meteor Combos This is completely impossible without Bison II. Use the Psycho Break Smasher to weaken Bison, then stay away and keep building up your Super Combo Gauge with Knee Presses. Jump away from Bison if he comes close, and once you build up the gauge, activate the final Psycho Break Smasher. Remember that the Meteor Combos must hit in order to get the medal. Gold Medal - Hit with two Meteor Combos Platinum Medal - Hit with three Meteor Combos 7. Character Edit Mode Normal Mode Mission 1: Guard the attack! Block the sweep using DB.
