Some characters have an air-dash. *Super Jump: D then U or Kx3: A more extended jump with higher verticality. *Switch Fighters: HP + HK: This will only work, though, if your secondary fighter still has some energy left in their Health Meter. When you switch, the secondary character comes flying in from behind you. They start at the top of the screen and attack your opponent, coming down at them at an angle. Your secondary character is vulnerable at this time. As soon as your secondary character lands, they'll do a quick little "taunt" thingee to sort of "announce" their arrival and then prepare to fight. You are also vulnerable at this time, so switch wisely. Once this is done, your secondary fighter becomes your active fighter,and the previous fighter becomes your secondary. When one fighter completely loses their Health Meter, they are "dead" and your other fighter jumps in, to finish the fight... alone. *Tech-Throws: F + MP + HP before you get thrown: Throws are in this game, and I'm pretty sure everybody's got one, whether it's a "true" throw, or some kind of hold. You can lighten the damage that throws take away by Tech. Hitting out of them. *Dual Team Attack: QCF + HP + HK (requires 2 levels): You can evoke a Hyper Combo, where both of your characters (if they're both still alive) come in and blast the opponent with their Hyper Combos. *Dual Combination Attack: QCB + HP + HK (requires 2-3 levels): If both characters on the team are still alive, they both have a chance to go in at the same time for a short amount of time. During that time, the player controls both characters and has infinity meter until time runs out. *Guest Character: MP + MK: Before the match starts, you're given the chance to choose a Guest Character for a limited amount of times during the match. Each Guest Character has their own way of attacking during the match. *Push Block: Px3 while blocking: Every character can do a push block when they block while they're blocking. Doing this, you'll quickly give your opponent a push back so that they're out of range. This can be pretty useful when you have a quick character who's really "picking on you." *Variable Counter: B, D, DB + HP + HK (requires 1 level): Your teammate (if they're still alive) will come in and help you out by smacking your opponent with one of their moves. After a Variable Counter, the teammate that helped out will be left fighting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guest Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Unknown Soldier: First appearing in Forgotten Worlds, Unknown Soldier shoots out a laser with a sphere that shoots out another laser below him that can be used 4 times. *Lou: First appearing in Chariot, Lou shoots out arrows that can be used 8 times. *Arthur: First appearing in Ghosts 'n Goblins, Arthur throws out javelin-arrows that can be used 8 times.

She is part of the Street Fighter series of fighting games and is considered to be the first female character in a fighting game. Introduced in Street Fighter II in the 16-bit era, Chun-Li was the only female character in the game and while not as physically powerful as the other characters, she was by far the quickest. Her most famous attack is the Hyakuretsukyaku (a.k.a. the Lightning Leg/Lightning Kick), where she repeatedly kicks her opponent from a standing position with incredible speed. Chun-Li is also one of the first successful and popular female video game protagonists. Prior to Street Fighter II being released in 1991, most female characters in games existed as objectives to be rescued or cast in the roles of other supporting characters, such as townspeople, girlfriends, the occasional opponent, or simply background decoration; as such, there were very few heroines in action-based video games. After the success of Street Fighter II and Chun-Li's popularity, female protagonists became more and more common. Since then, in games with selectable characters, at least one or two of them will be female; and there have been a number of games released since that have placed a female character in the lead role.

He is part of the Street Fighter series of fighting games. Zangief is a close-combat character. Because the spinning piledriver requires a 360 motion on a joystick, controller, or keyboard, he and other characters with similar movesets are known as 360 grapplers. Birthplace: U.S.S.R.

He is a blonde superhero wearing a visor and a white-and-blue costume with a large star on his chest, and appeared in instruction manuals for Capcom games during their earliest days of game production in the mid-1980s, thanking the player for purchasing the game. He was eventually given a beat 'em up of his own in 1991 (simply named Captain Commando); however, the game did not catch on with avid arcade players and Captain Commando was replaced as Capcom's mascot after characters from more popular games, such as the Mega Man and Street Fighter II series, came into vogue. Fun Facts: -Captain Corridor is his special attack in the Captain Commando game. -Any form of Captain Strike is his team members doing their special attack in the Captain Commando game. -A couple of Captain Commando's win quote's are he references Vulgus, Capcom's first game made in 1984 and thanking the player for playing the game, an obvious reference of him in early Capcom instruction maunals thanking the player for purchasing the game. Command Normals: None. Special Moves: Captain Fire: QCF + P (also in air): Captain Commando shoots out a quick flaming attack from his fist.

Her birth year is 1678. She is a succubus. Morrigan is very vain, and lives for little more than the excite- ment of battle. Although her endings in the games as well as various media show that Morrigan slowly takes up more of her responsibility seriously. She appears as a beautiful woman with long, light green hair, and bat-like wings on her back and the sides of her head. Morrigan can reshape these wings into spikes and blades when attacking her enemies, as well as using them to shield herself from enemy attacks. Her wings can also separate from her and form into a cloud of bats. She uses a variety of magical attacks as well. Although Demitri would seem to fill the spot, it is often suggested and implied that Morrigan is the main character of the Darkstalkers series, due to her importance in the overall story as well as her many appearances outside of her game series. She may even be considered the protagonist or some- thing of an anti-hero, since despite her demonic appearance and nature, she is not evil. She is merely what she is, a succubus. Fun Facts: -Possibly continuing from Morrigan's ending from DS3 where Morrigan and Lilith combine their bodies into one. -Has a win pose that's only available in the Japanese version where Morrigan is dressed in a black leathered outfit as Lilith is hanging from a rope after victory. Can be seen in MvC2. Command Normals: Wing Arc: DF + HP: Morrigan does a spinning attack with her wings on crouching position. Flip Kick: F + HK: Morrigan does a slow forward flip kick.

He was designed by Keiji Inafune. In Japan, he is known as Rockman. Due to his popularity, Mega Man is Capcom's official mascot. He has appeared on the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and XBOX platforms, as well as in arcades. Fun Facts: -Every time Megaman wins the battle, the quote music is tuned to the theme whenever he defeats a boss in the Megaman games. -A reference from Megaman is that when death, Megaman's body fades out into thin circles after death. -Even though his D + HK (Slide) isn't a Command Normal, it was first introduced in Megaman III. Command Normals: Mega Buster: hold HP (also in air): First introduced in Megaman III, Megaman can now charge his shot so it can make multiple hits. It can be charged for a unspecific but long amount of time. Special Moves: Mega Upper: F, D, DF + P: Megaman here can do a rising fist that's similar to Ryu's Shoryuken.

Default is Tornado Hold which is first introduced in Megaman 8 after beating Tengu Man. LK brings Rock Ball which is first introduced in Megaman 8 from Dr. Light in Wily Island.

He has made cameo appearances in several games, most notably the crossover games Marvel vs. Capcom and Namco x Capcom. Although the character is often referred to simply as Strider, it is important to note that within the series' canon, this is merely a title. The Striders are an organization of high-tech covert operatives who are very similar to futuristic ninja. Fun Facts: -Any form of his MP is similar to his initial slash in Strider. -Ghram was only used for a limited amount of time and hits in Strider. -Formation A and Ouroboros were only used until Strider was hit in Strider. Ironically, you can't have both at the same time. -Ouroboros is the name of the boss in St. Petersburg, Eurasia. -This is the Strider drawing used for the game Strider 2 which was released shortly after. -A reference from Strider is that when death, Strider's body fades out into thin waves after death.

PlayStation: Unlike Dreamcast, PlayStation has a lot of errors due to its low capabilities suce as missing animation frames in here. PlayStation's battles are ALL 1-on-1 under the classic round system in SF with the option to choose your partner for Hyper Combo attacks or a Guest Character which can be used infinity times. There is also a Dynamic Mode to which a character will do an Aerial Rave, the screen will zoom in. Nothing fancy, but it has something Dreamcast doesn't. Also in any match first introduces the Hyper Cancel, to which players can cancel their Special Move and instantly do a Hyper Combo for there, increasing in damage and hits. Also only in PlayStation is Gallery Mode which has all the Endings, Character Illustrations and Guest Character animations. Another thing is also Cross Fever to which is like a mirror match for PlayStation. An example here is: Morrigan/Megaman vs. Megaman/Morrigan. Due to its low capabilities such as loading time and memory usage, it can only produce those type of matches. Dreamcast: The arcade perfect version right here with the standard 2-on-2 VS. rules. Sure there is no Gallery Mode but the Cross Fever mode enables for 4 players (2 per team) to fight in battle. Another thing is Survival Mode in case just to see how long you'll last. A much better than the PlayStation version as it's 2-on-2, all animation frames are perfectly intact and extremely less load times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact me!
