(Got that EGM?!) _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Introduction _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Hello all, and welcome to the Killer Instinct FAQ. The game is a Mortal Kombat/Virtual Fighter/Street Fighter type game with graphics that blow 'em all away. There are 2 separate FAQ's. This will eliminate me from having to place symbols for moves that worked on the old one and do not work on the new one. The current way to tell if you have the test version or the release version of KI is if the guy on fire's name is Meltdown then you have a test version. If his name is Cinder, then you have the newer release version. If anyone has the test version of the game let me know I have a few things I would like to try out on that version. Almost all machines shipped are version 1.4 and are being upgraded to 1.5(or 2.3) soon. I will try to keep the FAQ version equal to the machine (chip) version but I have found out that 5.0 may have been another test version. I will work on this! Version 1.4 is the latest release version with drive version 1.0. Most games out now have 1.4 chips and 1.0 drives. I am not going back on version numbers for the FAQ. See the misc section for release date stuff! _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ What's new, coming soon, and happening _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Well as always there is way too much new to list. Lots of moves confirmed, new moves, and many changed. It has been brought to my attention that the combos are too hard to read, I am working on a better way, but for now this will have to do. There is another chip being made...I am calling it version 1.5 but not sure exactly what version it is. It may be 2.3. Hopefully Midway will go with their standard numbering. There are many NEW ideas and moves here not talked about anywhere else! Spinal fans... check his section for a infinite powerup move! This is probably the biggest news in this versions of the FAQ. Not Seen ANYWHERE ELSE! Play as Eyedol! Includes many of the moves! Thought by some to be glitches, Air Combos are slowly being discovered. I will add them as I find them. Some examples are Orchids Tiger Morph and Jago's Heel Kick. Both can be done in the air. See each character's section and the Air Combo Section. Yes I know there are SEVERAL other FAQ's out there. The style's are a little different (more like SF descriptions) and without all the descriptions ect. I do not plan on having a FAQ competition so do NOT send me stuff like 'they said this, and you did this' stuff. It's a free world. I will still accept complements and FRIENDLY criticism. (Don't Panic!) A WWW (World-Wide_web) page has been created for the FAQ. Currently it is just the FAQ, with a easy point and click interface. Hopefully soon there will be pictures and other stuff. Thanks to Christopher King! Nice Job! The address is: http://www2.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/c/chking/KI/ so check it out! My goal for 5.5 is to have Many of the new 1.5 chip moves such as the FAKE overhead slams, as well as what all the overhead slams do. Another goal is descriptions and moves for all 3 hit air combos and a ton of new combos for everyone. Hey! A one page FAQ (actually about 1 and a half) is also out. It has all the moves from the FAQ compressed without all the descriptions. This will make it easier to bring it along with to your favorite spot! Thanks to The Immortal Spam (Great Job!) There is another good one, but I believe this one is going to be the OFFICIAL 1-page FAQ. The 'TEST' version of the FAQ moves seemed to get into EGM's January issue. (Electronic Gaming Monthly) They did NOT ask for permission and gave no credit to the FAQ. About 50% of the moves listed in there are wrong, and it was easy to tell it was from the FAQ. (same mistakes in the same places i.e. HCT, HCF) Basically poor editing made it easy to spot the fact they copied. Other Magazine news. I have heard that the FAQ will be making it AGAIN into EGM, whether or not the FAQ will get credit is another story. Also the FAQ IS going to be in the March issue or GamePro Magazine, and they did ask for permition. Thanks guys! This has to be the most Published FAQ around! It's also on a ASCII ART site for my KI logo (Which was made by hand) and a new one coming soon! Because of the requests and so many other FAQ's popping up, the moves are in two formats. (Trying to please more people). The moves are now listed as both F,D,B,6 and HCB,6 (where available.) Also many moves require that you stop at DB (Down and back on a angle). As long as were are on the subject some moves require you to hold the joystick forward such as Fulgore's 3 electric bolts. It you do not hold the stick forward you will only get one. (Many people have written saying they can't get three....this is why) The machine is popping up everywhere which means I can finally start playing again! It has been a while since I have played since Midway has had me banned from a local place. Basically thank you everyone one this list! Without you, this FAQ would have stopped dead like they wanted. I am not after Midway or anything (they have made some great games) they have just adopted the attitude that FAQ's are killing the Arcade. From all of your responses I like to think this FAQ is helping. Many have written saying they would not be playing KI if it wasn't for this FAQ because SF players had an advantage and were destroying them at the game, so it was not fun to even try. I hope this FAQ is serving its purpose by doing more good than harm! _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Game Description _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ************** * First Look * ************** The characters are rendered in some sort of 3D package (on SGI or something) and have the similar look to DKC style graphics. The games is NOT rendered in real time (like VF) but use a style along the lines of MK. (Pre- recorded graphics). If nobody is playing (which is very unlikely) the games cycles screens about Nintendo, and this being the Ultra 64 coming to your home soon. Also each character gets a into-animation showing them somewhere then the screen shrinks to show their story and Stats. These animations are VERY well done, and should be seen. ***************** * On the Inside * ***************** The usual stuff with the some Ultra 64 technology, and a hard drive for the graphics. Under the test screens there are the options for making the game very easy,easy,medium,hard,extreamly hard. (Most arcades use medium). There is a options to see the % of win's and stuff. Most of the % are about even for games played and wins. There IS a stat. section for Eyedol in the 2 player list, and Eyedol vs the computer. And we now know why it's there! More to come as I find out. ********** * Rounds * ********** Each player starts with 2 bars of energy to use for the entire game. (Think of it as one LARGE bar but only half is shown on screen at a time.) Once the first bar is gone, the player falls, gets up and starts to use the second bar of energy. A voice will say ROUND 2 or Killer Instinct! The player who wins the first round gets to keep their remaining energy plus still has the second bar to use. This makes it more fair to the person who wins the first round. So, if you weren't paying attention, and lost big time the first round... chances are very slim for a come-back! Last Breath: This allows you one last chance for life. You get enough energy to take one more hit! I have won matches using this, and really upset some people! After the voice says 'No Mercy' start rotating your stick and mashing buttons, your guy will get back up and start to fight again! You MUST do this before the other person start's doing the No Mercy! If you are the winning person and do not want your opponent to come back with his 'Last Breath' you must just hit them again, and forget about the No Mercy! If you comeback you will get a FLASHING bar. (Power Up) ************ * Power UP * ************ The Power up bar is the white flashing vertical bar in your health bar. This means you will be able to do many more devastating moves such as the Shadow moves and Triple projectiles. Most times the bar is powered up by doing a combo breaker. Sabrewulf can get it by doing his Energy Howl, and Spinal can get it by obtaining skulls. If the bar is NOT flashing, then you are not powered up. ********** * Combos * ********** A combo is a consecutive series of hits (punches/kicks/specialty moves) without your opponent being able to retaliate. These are not all confirmed and don't work all the time. Each character's combos are discussed in detail in their section of the FAQ. They've given each combo a "name" and when you complete one the game will flash it up on the screen (similar to PR) and speak it, like "Hyper Combo"! The game is basically a "Combo" game. The whole object is to get massive combo moves. I know I am missing a bunch of combo moves for people. I am going to have to re-organize this part because if I put them all in this thing would be huge! Maybe a separate FAQ on combos? The "names" are as follows: (some might have changed!) 3 Hits: Triple Combo 4 Hits: Super Combo 5 Hits: Hyper Combo 6 Hits: Brutal Combo 7 Hits: Master Combo 8 Hits: Awesome Combo 9 Hits: Blaster Combo 10 Hits: Monster Combo 11 Hits: King Combo 12 or more Hits: Killer Combo Then ULTRA combos are special combos at the end of the match. Ending with a ULTIMATE combo will end with a No Mercy. (I will add these as I get them) Here is some news! There IS a Ultimate combo for EACH No Mercy, not just 1! FREE Seconds: There are ways to get a 'free' second hit for combos. The buttons are joined together. (I will probably regret telling this because I already get my butt kicked enough by combos!) The buttons joined are 1 and 4, 2 and 6, 3 and 5. In other words, if I jump at a person and press 2, then after hitting I press 6, it will do a total of 3 (maybe more) moves. So the last move is a free-bee. The idea to combos are to see what moves go together, or flow together. If you are using Jago, and have his sword out, you might as well use it a few times before putting it away right? These only work on a jump in attack. Each player also has a combo that will make their opponent dizzy. (opponent hunches over like at end of a match) This will allow you to do another big combo without your opponent being able to block it. These are in each section in (). ** I have been told that Dizzy's will NOT be in the next chip release (1.5) or are atleast harder to do. Each character's section includes a "COMBO MOVES:" section. These tell you how many hits you will get with is after doing a special move. For example. Spinal: After doing a charge then a B,3 Will make it a 3 hit move. These will hopefully help in the construction of combos. Each Character will now have a Combo Ender section. These are moves done towards the end of combos that usually throw your opponent up into the air, allowing you to do a Air Juggle afterwards. Knowing these will help with creating your OWN combos and not just using the ones in the FAQ's. Each player also has a combo breaker. These are described in each character's section. Basically it stops your opponent from finishing a big combo. * Hint: Know these well, your going to need them! *New Combo Breaker Theory. This was provided by Solo and friends. (thanks guys) Below is a chart on what buttons to try and use. Opponent Used You Use 1 3 or 6 2 1 or 4 3 2 or 5 4 3 or 6 5 1 or 4 6 2 or 5 In short this is what the chart tells you; If you are being comboed by any quick attack, break it with fierce. If you are being comboed with any medium then break it with quick, and if your being comboed with any fierce, then break it with medium. With this method (and some good luck) you can break combos on the first hit! This is why I said before that the Combo Breaker code allows you to break combos with ANY button. If you are not great with combos, and don't know what your opponent usually starts the combo with then stick to the Usual breakers, but if your brave, give this a try. I am NOT making any promises, just giving some incite! *************** * Speed Combos * *************** This description is in it's own description because it's new after that it will be up in the combo section with the rest of the stuff people just skip over. I do not know to many of these but they are being worked on. Speed combos are combos that are done by holding buttons or different joystick movements to Speed up the combos. Here is an example: Regular Jago Combo:f,d,db 6,4,f,d,db5 and pay attention to how slow it goes. Speed Jago Combo: (H)6(H)5,f,d,db(R)6,4,f,d,db(R)5 It's impressive if it works and very hard to break. It's going to take a lot of practice to get these to work, so be patient! ****************** * Knockdown Attack * ****************** These are ways of fighting back after being knocked down. For example, if you are playing orchid, you get comboed against and knocked down, charging back, then forward +6 when getting up will do her forward cartwheel. These moves are almost un-blockable, but most opponents have backed-up before you get up anyway. *************************** * Reverse Control Move (RCM) * *************************** These are moves that will surprise your opponent like your walking forwards then all of a sudden you in their face pounding them. These will be written as RCM's. ************** * Air Juggle * ************** Basically they are a special move done after you have knocked your opponent into the air, hitting them on the way down. After a player gets a Combo Breaker, most Projectile Attacks will throw 3 projectiles. ************** * Air Combos * ************** These Air Combos are moves done after kicking your opponent while in the air. Each characters Air Combo's will be listed in their own section. There are a few way's to do them, but basically there are two standard moves. Both require that you jump in and kick your opponent first. Finally people are starting to find 2 kinds of Air combos! Orchid can do her Spinning attack in the air also! People are starting to do 3 hit combos in the air. ********************** * Ultimate Victories * ********************** If you win without completely losing your first bar of energy it is considered an "Ultimate Victory" and the character gets a close up animation! These animations are described in each character's section of the FAQ. ************** * NO MERCYS * ************** More commonly known as fatalities...... When you defeat your opponent the computer yells "NO MERCY" and that is your chance to kill him. (ie Finish HIM! from MK) These "No Mercy's" are also described in each character's section of the FAQ. In version 1.4 'No Mercy' has been changed to Danger! I am assuming this is a bug, because it's a little too late to be telling the person danger, when they're dead! They should go back to the old version where it said 'Danger' when the red bar flashed, and 'No Mercy!' when your leaning over. ***************** * HUMILIATION'S * ***************** These are performed like No Mercys. After the computer yells No Mercy, then doing one of these will make your opponent be humiliated! These are also shown in each character's section. Remember You can only do a Humiliation if you did NOT lose a bar of energy! **************** * Shadow Moves * **************** These can be done when the Power up bar is flashing. If you do a special move, then a silver outline follows your every move. (more to come as I find them) *Shadow Combos are also being discovered. Check each section for different ones! Most require that you hold multiple buttons, these are VERY tough, and similar to speed combos! ********** * STAGES * ********** Each game is played on a different stage. Each with its own background and playing area! You can now PICK what level and music you want to play on in 2 player mode. After scrolling to your player, press the joystick down with a button. Each button is a different screen. The first person to pick their character, picks the stage. The second person to pick, picks the music (by the same method of selection). I do not know all the stage choices yet but if I do, it is posted with it's stage and what button to press. Each character now has a stage associated with them, and there are some stages you will only get in two player mode. If you do not select music, the appropriate music for that stage will be played. In any case, the music described in the stages is the appropriate music, but not necessarily the music you hear. I do not have all the music descriptions yet, nor do I have a full description of all the backgrounds. (soon, really!) The Joystick/button selection is in (). As a added note, most of the stairs are located on the left hand side, giving player one a slight disadvantage. The current stages are as follows... - Canyon (D,1) In this stage you are fighting on a rope/log bridge with a huge rock canyon in the background. An interesting effect is that the bridge kind of bounces when you jump on it. The setting sun has the sky turned blazing red and the clouds are streaming towards you like mad. The music for this stage has sort of an Native American sound to it. The main thing to remember on this stage is to avoid being trapped on either end of the bridge since this puts you higher than your opponent and at a serious fighting disadvantage! This stage is associated with Chief Thunder. - City Rooftop in Chicago (U,5) This stage has you on the rooftop of a skyscraper in a futuristic city at night. In the background there are various other buildings with flashing red beacons. There are also two billboards, one showing an animated Ultra 64 logo and the other showing a realtime scaled down version of your current fight! There is no high or low ground on this stage, but being trapped in a corner can be pretty damaging. The roofs look a lot like the ring's used in Virtual Fighter and you CAN knock your opponent off the roof, you need to do a charge at them usually in the middle of a combo. You will usually fall onto the pink car from the Chicago street stage! This stage is associated with Orchid. - Castle Rooftop (U,4) Similar to the City Rooftop scene but in this one you are set in more of a medieval time. Sort of a Transylvania feel to it, with bats flying around and lightning flashing....even has a full moon! Again, no high or low ground but watch those corners. And again, you can be knocked off the roof when charged. This is Spinal's Stage. I believe you land in the lava, but I may be wrong. - Boxing Gym (???) This one has you in a boxing workout gym with a boxing ring in the background and large punching bags. This is one of the cooler scenes cause as you and your opponent move back and forth the perspective of the scene changes and you can really see the 3-D effect with the punching bags and all. Of course this is T.J. Combo's stage. - Chicago Alleyway (D,4) Wow we're out on the streets, fighting amongst the broken down cars and graffiti covered buildings! This scene is also on of the better ones for seeing the 3-D effect of the perspective changes, particularly in the cars in the background. The music here has lots of police sirens going in it. Some of the graffiti is "Chicago Lives!","MT"(turmell?),"Kev Boyle's Vehicle Surgery"???. (Don't think is's anyones home) - Chateau (D,5) Here you are fighting in a nice cozy little room with a fire going in the fireplace and classic paintings hanging on the walls. Rich maroon velvet drapes and gold chandeliers add to the feel of the room. There is a large wooden door to the far right and stairs leading upwards to the left. Don't get forced onto the stairs, this puts you on higher ground and therefore at a disadvantage. This is Sabrewulf's hangout. - Mountain Shrine (U,3) This stage looks like you were transported to Alaska. There is snow all around, with a large concrete looking statue of two people (back to back) behind you. One of them looks like Orchid. The fighting area is a long narrow area, with a small bridge in the middle. The area with the statue looks like there should be some way to fight up there, and to anyone at Midway, it would of been cool to be able to walk(fight) all the way around the statue instead of about one half.(just a thought) - Mountain Temple (U,1) This stage is a lot like the above Mountain Shrine, except there is now a temple with the roof being held up by the two sculptures. Maybe a before and after a nuclear bomb thing here. It makes the other stage look like the ruins of this stage. This is Glacious' stage. - Industrial Warehouse (D,6) This stage place's you on a metal (grated) catwalk, high above in a ole Warehouse. On the side of the catwalk reads 'TDJ Stamper Industries' The fighting area is much shorter then normal, and the characters seem very close. This is where Fulgore hangs out. - Warehouse Basement (D,3) Probably not really the basement, but similar in looks, with a small bridge over lava. I haven't seen anyone fall in yet but I have heard that it is possible. There are flying bats all over. The bridge does bounce a little bit, and the camera really pans in and out a lot! This is one of Eydol's stage's. You can knock him into the lava with a uppercut. - Eydol's Lair ( ??? ) This is the other place that you can fight Eyedol at. It is hard to explain, but you fight real close to the screen (Feet are at the bottom of the screen) and looks like a old auditorium (Trashed) with empty seats ect. - Desert Roof Top (D,Start or U,6) Here you are on a rooftop in the desert. In the background there appears the old ruins of a city with very little left. There are vultures circling around, and a very bright sun in the background. I believe that this is Cinders Stage - Sky Top (D,5 --- Player 1 Does It Then Player 2) Well here is one of the more nasty scenes in the game, not for the weak stomach. You are on top of a small (roof-like) brick area with clouds flying towards you very fast! (enough to make you motion sick) The big problem here is you can get knocked off of the brick top at any time! If you are close to the edge, and someone charges, you going to have quite a fall! You see your character falling for several seconds towards you, then poof, the body makes a cut-out (similar to a gingerbread man shape) in the ground. (A quick loss of $.50 here!) - Alter (D,2) You are now in a marble type alter room. A candle lit area, and pillars with bloody horns, and skulls attached. The room has a very cool looking reflection to it on the floor. This is Riptor's pad. - Dungeon (U,2) This is a infinite scrolling stage, which means you CANNOT get trapped into a corner!(yea) The background just keeps repeating some pillars. - Tiger Shrine (???) This stage has a large Golden Tiger head built into the back wall. It looks straight out of a D&D adventure, with jewels and gold. This is Jago's hangout. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Controls _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Your character is controlled by using 6 buttons and 1 joystick. The top row of buttons are high attacks/punches and the row bottom are low attacks/kicks. To keep the move list simple I will use the numbers 1-6 to represent button presses. Below is the map. 1 2 3 4 5 6 If you have played the SF games then the buttons are: 1 = Quick Punch 2 = Middle Punch 3 = Fierce Punch 4 = Quick Kick 5 = Middle Kick 6 = Fierce Kick Pull Back (away from opponent) to block. To explain joystick movements I will use the following: F = Forward B = back D = Down U = Up QCT= quarter circle towards QCB = quarter circle back HCT = half circle towards HCB = half circle back Some new found moves and shadow moves require that you hold a button, do the joystick movement and then release the button. For these I will put a (H) for hold and a (R) for release followed by the button. Also, most regular moves can be done in this style as well if you find that you play better by holding then releasing. I've found that not all moves are quarter or half circle. There are moves that seem to require a 3/4 circle from back to top. For these I will use 3/4CT. (for 3/4 circle towards, from back to top) Also, the way I describe the moves may change. I have been told that some moves work better if you use F,D,D/B (down back) instead of making a circle. I will look into this! But for now, I will still use the circle method. There are moves requiring a quarter circle from Forward up to forward down. These are noted as FU,F,FD. Almost all the characters have a move using QCT and Punch, I just do not know exactly what they all do. (yet) With ALL characters: B,3 when very close will make you do a hard looking hit that your opponent will have to stand up and block. This move is basically instead of throws. It stops your opponent from 'turtleing'. With B,2 (On new versions) You will do a fake overhead then you can attack low if you opponent stands up! * Moves that start with Back normally need to charge. (hold back for a few seconds). Moves that do not end with a number (a specific button) can use any button (punch or kick where specified). The greater the number the longer the move will last. All players have a special move when getting up from being knocked down. These will be listed in each section as Knockdown move. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ At Character Select _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Similar to another Midway game Up and Start is Random Select. When choosing a character, if both players push Down and Start, the announcer says 'Combo Breaker'. Rumored to make the breakers easier, I have been told that the Combo Breaker move can then be done with any button! It both players hold to the right, and hold buttons 1 2 3 (after choosing a character) you will here a swish sound and then be in TURBO mode. This mode is VERY fast, and long combos are difficult to execute. Utra combos look awesome! And contrary to popular belief you can do this in single player mode, but you still have to do the move on both sides. When you are on your chosen character (and have not pressed a button) moving the joystick Up and Down will allow you to change the colors of your player. (I believe there are 7) Play as Eyedol: See his section for moves! Moves with * in front of them have not yet been confirmed by myself, or more than one person. As I try them, or anyone else (besides the person who gives them to me in the first place) says they worked I will take off the *. I am not saying I don't trust people..., I just don't want to get flamed by people saying "Your FAQ says this, and it doesn't work, and I lost,and..." So let me know if you can confirm a move, especially now with the new version out! _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ *********************** CHARACTERS *************************** _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ************** * T.J.

And he lets loose this really evil (ala Tales from the Crypt) laugh when he wins. Spinal can Morph into the other characters, but only the character he is fighting against! Easy way to beat Eyedol: (Once you got that far and probably died), continue and do the Combo Breaker Code (Down and start on both joystick before the round) Then do the Morph move and use Eyedol to beat Eyedol. As soon as he starts to fight back, do the combo breaker. (Be careful not to blow up). **** Infinite Powerup (Confirmed) With only 1 circleing skull, hold 1, Half Circle Towards, Press 2 and release 1. Spinal Will throw 2 Skulls! You opponent will think...humm must be a glitch, but now you can throw 2 fireballs ANY time with that same movement. You can also throw single fireballs with the usual HCT,Punch.

No Mercy2: B,B,F,4 (close) Spinal slices the opponent with a sword twice and then pierces him with a spike that emerges from his shield 3 times! (Very cool) * Rumor No Mercy 3: ?? A Giant Asteroid comes down and crushes you. Note about the Absorption shield. If you have at least one skull around you then some of your moves will give you a second hit. Also, Spinal can only have up to six skulls. If he gets anymore then that, he will explode and be left with only one skull. Ending: Tired of being constantly surrounded by death and destruction, Spinal decides on a career change. Although nominated for an Oscar for his first film, Spinal still has difficulty finding roles with meat in them. ************* * B.

No Mercy 2: B,B,F,F,1 Orchid turns to opponent and opens up her shirt to expose chest to them. Opponent falls over dead. (Another Orchid just gets upset.) Ending: Orchid escapes unscathed with vital information about Ultratech's corrupt future plans.

* Cinder * (Formerly Meltdown)
**********

Description:
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 195
Age: 31

A convict, experimented on by Ultratech. A failed chemical weapon test
mutated his body turning him into living flame. If he defeats Glacius,
he enters the fray.

He is similar to Glacius but he is made of fire!  He always has a glow
around him and little puffs of flame coming off him floating upward.
My complaint here is that if player two chooses him, he look's like
Glacius with a red flame around him.

Description:
Height: 7'0
Weight: 700
Age: 4

A product of Ultratech's DNA manipulation project. By mixing human and
reptilian genes, they hope to cross intelligence and ferocity in a lethal
fighting machine.

Two-legged raptor type dinosaur.  Reddish orange in color.  When he gets
hit he bleeds purple blood.  Seems a little out of place in this game.

**********
* Eyedol * You can play as him!
**********

He is the 'boss' character. He is a 2 headed giant, wielding a big club.
He swings his club like a baseball bat, he spits fireballs, sometimes 3
in a row. (more once I see him!)

Play As Eyedol: Pick Riptor and hold 1,2,4 and left till the VS screen pops
up, then hold 2,3,6 and right till you hear EYEDOL! You can even play 2
player! His combos are TOUGH, and he is a tough one to play. Use his Golf
Swing a lot!
** Note: His moves do NOT need to charge back, just do B,F move.

Know moves:
Fireball:               HCT,punch
Tripple Fireball:
Headbutt Charge:        B,F,1  (Good Combo Starter)
Club Swing:             B,F,2
Golf Club Swing:        B,F,3
Forward Jump Smash:     B,F,4
Straight Up Jump Smash: B,F,5
Backward Jump Smash: B,F,6
Stop Ground:            B,2 (Does not regain Energy! Maybe after a combo?)
All jumps will avoid projectiles!

*Stomp to 3 Fireballs:  B,2,HCF,3
Stomp to Leap Attack:   B,2,F,Kick
Stomp to Head Ram:      B2,F1
Stomp to Head Ram to Super Golf Swing:  B,2,F1,B3

e old
                                Cheep err Chief Thunder Days)

Combo Breaker:          B,F, Punch

? hit Combo:            bd1,f1,b5,f3 then Juggle
? hit Combo:            b,f,4,b1,f3
? hit Combo:            B,F,1,B,3,3,3,3,F,3


Some stuff about playing as him:
Well it was fun for the first 2 times... after that nobody has been really
interested. His combo's are tough to do, and without knowing any fatalities
it makes him kinda boring. Hopefully we will know more soon!

My guess is Midway leaked this because their new Chip will ship soon
and will probably be different in how you play Eyedol, and decided to
get their money's worth.

I also agree with a post that said DO NOT tell everyone about this. I
also do not want to be fighting Eyedol EVERY time I play against some
newbie squid.

Play as Eyedol Bug! I haven't had a chance to try it, mostly because it
has not been duplicated yet. But here is what happened. A friend was
playing as spinal (against Eyedol) Did the morph into Eyedol and hit
START (with credits in the machine). (He hit the opposite start button).
then the screen showed the Eyedol square and another with the second
player. He hit start again (on both) and boom. He WAS Eyedol. The only
move figured out was back and 3 for the club against the ground. NO
charge back then F moves (yet). We could not do it again (tried for
about 2 hours). More as I find out! Don't waste your money till we get
the details straightened out.

He regains his health by stomping in place!
He can shoot 3 fast fireballs at once.

Ending: Haven't seen it, but told it was funny.

* Rumors *
**********

The game was designed in Europe, and just created here.
There are more then just Humiliations, and No Mercy's.
There are some hidden characters.
There are more then 2 hidden levels.
The current version number of the latest release is 1.4
Midway is changing moves and Stages with every release version to make
the FAQ un-accurate. (So if something doesn't work..let me)

********
* Bugs *
********
TJ Combo's Ultimate does not say Ultimate afterwards...just the kind of
combo.

Not known, but most likely a hardware bug that is also in SOME MK II
machines, nobody will be able to move. The characters just stand there.
If you hit the machine (near the joystick's) this will free them up.
At a arcade here, this is a constant and they will NOT fix them. They
have signs that say play at your own risk... no refund!
**How to fix this problem! It seems that the grounding wire is a bit too
long and gets bent up and touches the controls. If you take the wire and
ground it to the screw in the middle of the control panel by the edge, and
make sure it's tight, so it wont touch anything when the panel is shut, this
should fix it! If your arcade has this problem, please suggest this fix.

Both Jago and Orchid (computer players) seem to be able to do Ultimate's
during the first round! Please fix this Midway!


When the computer used to say No Mercy, it now says 'Danger Danger' Which
IMHO is a little too late.  Hopefully this will be changed back!  It should
say danger when you have about 2 hits left! (To let your opponent know when
to start the ultimate combo ;-)

Just a personal thing. Midway needs to fix the collision detection for jump
over attacks. Either make it like Kombat or take them out. But jumping over
someone then pressing kick once you past is a CHEESY way to get in hits.

Release Dates: (yea) It should be everywhere.

Thanks to a certain new inside source I am finding out about the
air combo's and many of the Hold button moves. Just when I thought
I could do some catching up, we discover many more moves.

Apologies for not refining many things yet. I know that many moves
only require QCT and not half's. I am working on it. The holidays were
very busy. I plan on updating this soon, because I am sure I will
find out about the Air Combos in the next few days! I will try to
update it atleast once every 2 weeks. (more often as important moves
come in.)

This FAQ is also available by FTP, courtesy of GamePro magazine's Andy
Eddy. Just FTP to ftp.netcom.com and cd /pub/vi/vidgames/faqs.  Hopefully
the latest version will always be here.  So if your in doubt about which
version you have, give this place a try.

It is also on Karl Czapla's site.  This is a place to get it if you do not
have FTP access. Just Send mail to : kczapla@night.vtc.vsc.edu
with the subject: send lmtkill
And you will receive the FAQ in your mail! (Very easy)

Hopefully the list of places to get this FAQ will grow. If you have a FAQ
site, let me know!

The latest version will also be in the rec.games.video.arcade news!
