My apologies to Jesus Alejandro Vega on this one. This FAQ was screaming at me to be updated. ^_^; Done by Shinji Ikari The 10 o'Clock Assassin "There's only one person better than K'. And that's L'." K' from King of Fighters '99 e-mail webpage Advanced Valuable Geo 2 Move list. Start: Like the Asuka 120% Burning Festival series, Variable Geo is another fighter that had spawn from the anger of the 2-D video game fighting world that had seemed only for men. So, despite having to shed some dignity, they came in and kicked collective butt as well. But unlike its rival, VG doesn't have such a strong combo engine. It seems to have captured the essence of all the fighting games out there during its time. Only certain characters can do certain stuff. But each lady has her strengths and weaknesses, thereby being all around somewhat. Story: In the near future, restaurants were rapidly losing sales (from fast food?). So, in order to bring back customers, they hosted something called the VG Tournament; where waitresses from different restaurants fight it out. This inevitably cranked out millions of dollars. (You'd have to see the OAV series, released through ADV, to understand why.) It comes to the point where the ladies become stronger and the stakes become higher. The winner gets 10 million dollars and a house on a property of her choice (this becomes important later). The loser... *Ahem!!* Like I said, you'd have to see it. ================================================ Version 1.6 8/17/00: Added throws. Minor updates. Version 1.5 5/23/00: Added an extra move from Reimi. Added a "pop back" escape and an "anti-strike" move. Added some more comboes. Thanks to: loh dexter Version 1.4 4/30/00: Some comboes added to the bottom. Thanks to C.R. . Updated one of Chiho's moves. Version 1.3 4/12/00: Added color of fighters; updated moves on Tamao, Chiho, and Saki; did my own AVG2 Shrine: http://members.xoom.com/Shinji_2200/AVG2.htm Version 1.2, 3/30/00: Corrected moves, found the TGL webpage, updated some crap. Version 1.1, 2/20/00: Started on the FAQ Stuff Needed: Introes, taunts, and victory translations Actual translation of characters and stories Bust Measurements ^_^; Take Heed: I don't have the instructions booklet for this game. So the names of the moves I'd given myself if it wasn't blurted out by the combatants of the game. ================================================ Basic Moves: LP (Light Punch) SP (Strong Punch) LK (Light Kick) SK (Strong Kick) PP - Hit two punches at same time. KK - Hit two kicks at same time. qcf - Quarter Circle Forward qcb - Quarter Circle Back hcf - Half Circle Forward hcb - Half Circle Back f - Forwards b - Back u - Up d - Down df- Diagonal Down/Forward db- Diagonal Down/Back dp - Dragon Punch Move (f,d,df) rdp - Reverse Dragon Punch dd - Tap Down Twice close- move must be performed close to opponent (throwing range) jump - move must be performed while jumping super jump - d + u quickly Expert Moves: Color Pick (Will be done soon): O - Original A - [] - R1 - R2 - Triangle Wall Jump - jump towards wall, jump the other direction (Only Chiho can do this) Throw - close, f/b + SP Second throw - close, f/b + SK (Jun and Chiho) Launcher: (Move that sends foe to air, not everyone has this) Combo Levels (For Ground or Air) 1: LP, LK, SP, SK 2: LP, SP, SK 3: LP, LK, SK 4: L Attack, S Attack Veteran Moves: "Pop Back Escape" After you've been knocked out of the air by a move (basically a "Shou Ryuu Ken"-esque move) Tap down on your control pad twice and the character you fight with will hop back to her feet. (A reverse of that escape in Asuka 120% Burning Fest; a trivia for you 2D Anime girl fighter purists.) ======================== YUKA TAKEUCHI She's the "Ryu Hoshi" of the game; searching for strong warriors to do battle with, a reason to fight, and shirts for the largeness for her chest. The road of a fighter is lined with harsh battles, and perverts too. Colors: O:Orange A:Purple []:Brown R1:Blue R2:Yellow Launcher: b + SK Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 1 Specials: Dragon Attack dp + P Devil Bullet qcf + P Slash Kick qcb + K Commands: Elbow b + SP Knee b + SK Karate Throw close, f/b + SP Supers: Triple Devil Bullet qcf + PP Vacuum Dragon Attack dp + PP Super Slash Kick qcb + KK Finals: Screaming Devil Bullet f, hcf + P Dragon Bullet Kick f, hcf + K ============================================= TAMAO MITSURUGI* The drooling fangirl. She copies most of Yuka's moves and is basically the "Lillith" of the game. She participates in the second VG in hopes of finding her idol and doing battle with her... Colors: O:Brown/Red A:Purple/Blue []:Brown/Green R1:Purple R2:Turquoise Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 4 Specials Same as Yuka's Happy Assault- (close) hcb + P -Charging Punch b + P before second punch -Face Kick b + K before second punch Commands: Knuckle b + SP Low Knuckle df + SP Butt Attack f + SK Karate Throw close, f/b + SP Supers: Same as Yuka's, again. Finals: Tamao Beam f, hcf + P ============================================== SATOMI YAJIMA Satomi is Yuka's true friend and resident PR manager. Her greater moves often ignite flames and basically makes her a harder-working "Kyo Kusanagi" of the game. She has a little brother by the name of Daisuke; their parents being dead a while after he was born. Colors: O:Red A:Green []:Blue/Orange R1:Purple/Red R2:Orange/Purple Launcher: df + SP Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Burning Arc- hcf + P -Finisher + SP Bullet Return qcb + P Circular Flame qcb + K Burning Thrust rdp + P Commands: Launcher Punch df + SP Slide Kick df + SK Forged Iron close, f/b + SP Supers: Circular Eights qcb + KK Thrusting Eights rdp + PP Arching Eights hcf + PP Finals: The Eighth Maiden f,hcf + K =============================== JUN KUBOTA Jun is a wrestler who likes to break every bone in her opponent's body; the reason she'd gotten thrown out of ladies' wrestling. She took her opportunity with the VG and had her first battle with Yuka. But this "Mighty Oak" had fallen to the great blast of Yuka's "wind." Still, Jun became a good and inspiring friend. She likes to ride her motorcycle and drink beer. (Like every other sports fan. ^_^; ) Colors: O:Orange A:Purple []:Army Green R1:Dark Orange R2:Red Launcher: f + SP Ground Combo: 3 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Kubota Crush (close) f, hcf + P Kubota Pounder qcb + P Kubota Charge b (hold), f + SP Kubota Avoid rdp + K Commands: Body Splash Jump, d + SP Double Fists f + SP Powerbomb close, f/b + SP Backdrop close, f/b + SK Supers: Kubota Earthquake qcb +PP Finals: Kubota Freighter f,hcf + K Kubota Buster (close) hcb x2 + P ================================ MANAMI SUNOKKI Now how the heck did this little kid enter the VG?! Her moves are like Blanka, but her attitude is like a child. My guess is that she's the comic relief from the deep seriousness of this game. A real perverted comic relief... Colors: O:Pink/Blue A:Blonde/Green []:Orange/Dark Blue R1:Purple R2:Orange/Light Green Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Rolling Bash b (hold), f + P Ground Rolling Bash b (hold), f + K "My Kid Vanished!" b (hold), f + KK Cat Rocket Punch qcf + P Giggle & Plummel (close) hcb + SP Commands: Light Cat Paw f + LP Heavy Cat Paw f + SP Cat Plummel close, f/b + SP Supers: Super Rolling Bash b (hold), f + PP Finals: Lion ICBM Punch f,hcf + P Rolling Assassin b (hold), f + SP/SK (Hold button for more power) ==================== AYAKO YUNA Now this beautiful woman is a manager of a disco club. Like Shermie, you can't see her eyes, she likes to dance, and she gives "fan service." But she relies more of spinning around with her legs and slashing her opponents (as well as purse snatchers and rapists) with her fan. And from observing her battle with Satomi, I came to the conclusion that she's also a pervert. :P Colors: O:Purple/Black A:Green/Blue []:Blonde/Dark Yellow R1:Pink/Purple R2:Pink/Opaque Launcher: SP Ground Combo: LP, LK, SP/K Air Combo: 4 Specials: Mach Spin qcf + K Spin Storm qcb + K Blind Lady's- hcb + P -Stylish Slide Nothing -Fan Hit K -Tossing Legs over foe, then f/b + K -Cancel Quickly hit K Commands: Stylish Fandom Hold SP for double attack Blind Lady's Slapping close, f/b + SP Tossing Leg Spin in air and close, f/b + SK Supers: Mach 5 Spin qcf + KK Super Spin Storm qcb + KK Finals: Mach Drill (close) f,hcf + K Hurricane Spin qcb x2 + P ======================= ELENA (ELLY-LYNN) GOLDSMITH An American born in Japan, the natives didn't take to her well while she grew up. She thereby became VERY violent; a pile of beatened bodies behind her. She then became head of a major restaurant in Osaka. Her "legion" dress up as Playboy Bunnies and sometimes tenderize her opponents before she comes in. But deep inside she's really a kind- hearted women who wished to bring her grandmother to Japan. Ayako and Manami are her friends over in Osaka. Colors: O:Blonde/Red A:Blonde/Blue []:Pink/Black (True Playboy Bunny Outfit. :).. ) R1:Orange/Dark Green R2:Blonde/Dark Purple Launcher: d + SP Ground Combo: 2 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Bunny Fire b (hold), f + P Flash Punch d (hold), u + P Rabbit Punches P repeatedly Fireball Return hcb + P (A lot slower coming out than Satomi's. You've been warned.) Triple Bunny Hop (qcb + K) x 3 Commands: Kick Thunder f + SK Bunny Toss close, f/b + SP Supers: Flash Chop d (hold), u + PP Bunny Inferno b (hold), f + PP Rabbit Thousand f, hcf + PP Finals: Osakan Bunny Beat-Up close, f,hcf +K ======================== CHIHO MASUDA Uh... She's a ninja... ^_^ The less said about her, the better. Colors: O:Orange A:Purple []:Brown R1:Grey/Blue R2:Dark Brown Launcher: f + SK Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Ninja Knife qcb + P Shadow Charge b (hold) , f + P Particle Decompose hcb + SK, (quickly) hcf + SK, qcb, f + SK or hcb, f + SK, qcb, f + SK Commands: Switchblade Kick df + LK Jumping Knuckle PP Slide Kick df + SK Thrust Knee f + SK Ninja Toss close, f/b + SP Rollover Toss close, f/b + SK Lightning Drop in air and close, f/b + SP Supers: Triple Ninja Knives qcb + PP Cruel Shadow Charge b (hold) , f + PP Hyper Ninja Attack dd + PP Hyper Ninja Speed dd + KK Finals: Spring Leaf Curtain Cutter hcb,f + K ==================================================== KAORI YANASE Kaori can be found behind her computer and on the web. She likes to find information about her opponents and usually tells them to "quit while there's still time." With good reason. Kaori, with only her kicking attacks, can lay her opponent down in a minute flat. She has all four of her eyes set on the woman who defeated her in the last VG, Reimi Jyahana. Colors: O:Purple/Grey Stockings A:Green []:Purple/Black Stockings R1:Red R2:Olive Launcher: d + SP, f + SP Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Data Pulse qcf + K Flat Scanner qcb + K Compiler close, dp + HK Commands: Save Data b + SP Delete Data b + SK Print Data f + SK Downloader Jump, d + SP Uploader Jump, d + SK Data File close, f/b + SP Supers: Data Transfer qcf + KK Fax Scanner qcb + KK Finals: Assembler f,hcf +K ====================== REIMI JYAHANA Reimi had been training under her mother since her childhood (read: abused) and "became" her somewhat. She now runs the Jyahana Corportation, the very business which funds the VG tournament. Reimi's favorite words seem to be "Well..." and "Do you know (fill in the blank)? (Fill in this blank, too.)" She's also got a nice-looking guy who she likes to force herself onto. ^_^; Colors: O:Light Blue A:Orange []:Pink R1:Light Purple R2:Blonde/Brown Vest Ground Combo: LP, LK, SP Air Combo: 4 Specials: Violent Love qcf + P Soul Bringer b (hold), f + K Fantasy Kick d (hold), u + K Commands: Sobalt Kick f + SK Weight Hurdle close, f/b + SP Supers: Burning Love qcf + PP Spirit Bringer d (hold), u + KK Mystical Kick b (hold), f + KK Finals: Beautiful Needle f,hcf + K ====================== KYOKO KIRISHIMA A judo expert, Kyoko follows Chiho into the VG to "bring her to reason" and/or "bring her back." Her taunt starts with "Do you know?", saying 5 to 15 seconds worth of stuff whilst pointing at you; thereby giving Dan Hibiki stern competition in the taunting departement. ^_^ Colors: O:Green A:Dark Red []:Orange R1:Blue R2:Purple Launcher: d + SP Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 1; LK, LP, SK, SP (Reversal) Specials: Heaven Catch dp + K Obstacle Removal qcf + P, P Retribution (when attacked) rdp + P Hell Slam (close) hcf + SK Commands: Opening Door b + SP Toss Into Door close, f/b + SP Supers: Obstacle Destruction qcf + PP Stratosphere Catch dp + KK Finals: Purgatory Raiser (close) f,hcf +K ======================= SAKI SHINDOU Iori Yagami? This woman's a combo of him and Ryuji Yamazaki! Saki's in the VG to find and kill Reimi Jyahana. And she will funeralize anybody who gets into her way. Yeah, and basically "forget flames!" When she kicks your butt, she doesn't want nusances such as magical leprechaun powers to mar the stinging pain of her clawing and kicking. Colors: O:Green Hair/Red A:Light Purple Hair/Dark Blue []:Light Olive Hair/Orange R1:Orange Hair/Grey R2:Light Purple Hair/Dark Purple Launcher: close SK; f + SK, SK Air Combo: 4 Specials: Killing Elbows dp + P Slashing Claw qcb + P Bladed Thrust dp + K Bladed Kick qcb + K Bloody Slam (close) hcb,f + P Commands: Swat Away Annoyance f + LP Killing Elbow Thrust f + SP Double Thrust Kick f + SK, SK Bloody Beatdown close, f/b + SP Supers: Bloody Claw qcb + PP Guillotine Thrust dp + KK Guillotine Kick qcb + KK Finals: Insanity Blast (air) qcf x2 + P Maiden Masher hcb, db, f + K or hcb, hcf + K (Hardest move to do?) ==================== SECRET CHARACTERS After beating the game in Arcade and Story Mode. ==================== MATERIAL Somebody's been to the Gendo Ikari University of Cloning. This little girl may not be much. She might have been just excess DNA from another project. But she proves that she's powerful enough; literally oozing with raw energy. Colors: O:Green/Brown/Olive Shirt A:Purple/Light Blue Shirt []:Purple/Orange Shirt R1:Blue/Light Blue Shirt R2:Pink/Grey Shirt Launcher: d + SP Ground Combo: 1 Air Combo: 4 Specials: Shocking Charge qcf + P Burning Child hcb + P Thunder Strike rdp + P Commands: Gravitational Throw close, f/b + SP Supers: Lightning Charge qcf + P Lightning Strike rdp + P Finals: Particle Bombard f, hcf + K ==================== MIRANDA JYAHANA This is Reimi's wicked stepmother; as in the mother who wickedly steps all over Reimi to give her a backbone. But that didn't work, so she stuck a microchip into her body. Miranda (no intro or taunt whatsoever; probably doesn't need it) is the last woman you must defeat in the story mode, second to Material. Unfortunately for you, all you have is Tamao (the drooling fangirl) and Miranda's already "fully-powered." Good luck would be an understatement of what you need. ^_^; Colors: Black Outfit O:Blonde A:Light Blonde []:Purple R1:Pink R2:Olive Ground Combo: LP, SP/K Air Combo: 4 Specials: Murder Spree qcf + P Killing Spree qcb + K Commands: Guillotine Heel b + SK Weight Hurdle close, f/b + SP Supers: Iceberg dp + PP Hierarchy qcf + KK Finals: "DAMN EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WITHIN MY PRESENCE!!" f,hcf + P ======================================================= *Note: She's the star of the "Story" mode of AVG2. Tamao enters the VG in hopes of meeting her idol Yuka. She soon meets up with Yuka and finds her within deep depression; almost to the point where she couldn't fight Jun Kubota (thereby getting beaten up by her). YOU play the role of Tamao as she does battle with almost all of the fighters, up until you get to do battle with Miranda Jyahana and Material. She doesn't have her "Tamao Beam" at the start of the story. And when she fights Manami she can't do her specials at all. (Manami going, "I bet you couldn't beat me without your scrubby shotokan crap!" ^_^;) She earns her final super once she's beaten Yuka: An video is shown of Yuka firing her "Scream Devil Bullet" at her; and then Tamao magically blocking it and sending it right back at her. A sapppy/broken story? A game with so many plot holes that the planet Jupiter would fall off? You'll be the judge. I thought it was pretty good. ^_^ ======================================================= Combo Section: Kyoko= Jump in lk,sk,d+lp,d+sp,air lk,lp,sp-(now when you hit the ground from that you have 2 choices. You can either 1)dash quickly and do dp+kk or 2)dash quickly and do standing sp, wait then do qcf+pp. Bonus-When you counter a jump in attack with rdp+lp, jump up, do lk,lp,sp, and when you land, do dp+kk.
