Sanshu no Jingi Team added, it was a surprise that SNK gave us along with Kusanagi 1.1 Shujinkou Team movenames fixed, I've aparently transliterated some of them wrong 1.0 Complete movelist 0.9 Character Profiles added, throws fixed and some other minor things 0.8 Update fixing some commands and addding gameplay notes on most characters 0.5 BIG update fixing almost every error in the FAQ.

Change Attack will tag-in one of your partners depending of the buttons you press but this time they'll attack - Body Toss are escaped using the same button your opponent uses to throw you, however you can escape every Body Toss if you press f + CD - It costs one level of the Power Gauge to do any of these: "Guard Cancel Emergency Evade"(any version), "Guard Cancel Blow-out Attack", "Change Attack" or a DM - It costs you two levels to perform a "Super Cancel" or a LDM (only the LEADER can do it) ======================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 -

 NOtes:
 - His stances are permament now, unless cancelled, no need to hold the 
 button as in previous years
 - He can freely swich from one stance to the other without further 
 trouble, while in stances he can do only 1 of his DM/LDM moves and is 
 interesting to note that while his LDM requires AC to be pressed, while
 he's in Ryouko Stance it can be done pressing only C
 - LDM hits low, then juggles opponent. You can follow up after that

 NOTES:
 - Clothing changed
 - Sandou Handan Geri command was changed, a lot easier to combo now
 - Raimei Tou is a new move and it's chargable. The move continues 
 hitting even after Benimaru stops moving. The C version can break 
 autoguard moves as well, such as Chang's Tekkyuu Funsai Geki
 - Shinkuu Kakategoma command was changed, supercancellable now
 - Benimaru Corridor was removed
 - Gen'ei Hurricane, if 1st hit is blocked it stops

 LEADER HISSATSU WAZA
 qcf(x2) + BD                   Shingo Kinsei Ore Shiki: Gou Hinokuruma

 NOTES:
 - Both Aragami and Dokugami are super cancellable
 - Dokugami can cast a little spark near Shingo's fist from time to time,
 it'll cause the move to have a bit more reach and hit twice, after it 
 Shingo will be surprised and glancing around furtively in amazement
 - Shingo Kick is now aerial too, can be made from backdash
 - Nie Togi is super cancellable too
 - Idouyoke is a rolling evade like Ken's (from SF) or Goro's
 - Some people think "stand C, f + B, Aragami/Dokugami" resulting in an 
 Oni Yaki instead is a bug, but it isn't, you just have to tap f + B
 very quickly so the game doesn't recognize the "f" as part of the "qcf"
 motion needed for Aragami/Dokugami thus ending in an Oni Yaki, but it
 doesn't matter much though, because "stand C, f + B, Aragami/Dokugami"
 doesn't work anymore :/ 
 - Nie Togi range is shorter now: if you chained into this move, it's 
 possible for the 2nd and 3rd hit to miss
 - Burning Shingo animation changed: It starts with an Aragami now
 - LDM is a more powerful version of Oboro Guruma Mikansei and is named 
 "Chariots of Fire" so yes, one might guess it burns the opponent with 
 actual flames at the end, some people claim to have seen this and that, 
 and they say it's only a random ocurrence. I haven't see it myself 
 though...

 - Kirikabu Gaeshi range is shorter as well
 - Toumi is a new move that takes the place of Goro's older DM which 
 acted both as a counter and as a throw, this only acts as a counter
 - LDM is a very long version of the normal Jigoku Gokuraku Otoshi

 - A Crow Bites has more range, while C version has less. The timing for

 - Air Trigger is an air fireball that comes down in a 45° angle
 - Heat Drive no longer goes through the opponent on block
 - Heaven's Drive is like Ken's Shouryu Reppa and its invincible since 
 start to the end of the first Crow Bites
 - Chain Drive is very fast this year, so fast that it can be used as an
 anti-air (he doesn't wait as long between the glasses hit and the elbow, 
 and the elbow now juggles into the rest of the auto-combo, so no more 
 "missing" Chain Drive)

 qcf,qcf + AC                   San Shingi Kore Hitotsu 

 - 88 Shiki reach is shorter than before
 - If the first hit of the 88 Shiki connects but the second hit misses, 
 Kyo's opponent will recover first. Avoid using this move when away from 
 corners
 - Aragami chain follow-ups are done with A only (for punch moves)
 - Dokugami chains follow-ups are done with C only
 - Timing to follow up his 75 Shiki Kai changed
 - Orochinagi has longer period of invincibility now: Kyo is immune to 
 certain attacks once he finishes lifting/igniting his hand
 - Orochinagi timing is also tricky this year: if you just press P the 
 move will come out very slow (almost as slow as in KOF99) so it won't
 combo, BUT if you just hold P a little longer Orochinagi will come out
 VERY fast (the fastest ever in the history of the move)
 - 182 Shiki is about the same as in KOF2000
 - LDM can be comboed and it has some sort of "vacuum" effect, that means
 that if one hit connects all other hits coming after it will connect 
 too. Kyo's body is on fire while doing the move so even if you touch him
 you'll be dragged into the blitz!!

 Notes:
 - Yumebiki is faster (similar to KOF97), but still chainable with 
 Yaotome. The timing is different though
 - Kototsuki In is faster and covers more lenght this year, it's easily 
 comboable and if blocked Iori skips the second hit
 - Oni Yaki has better priority this year. C version "slides" forward
 - First and second hit of Aoi Hana has longer recovery time now
 - Kuzukaze now grabs immediatly, so no more using it as an anti-air
 - Ya Sakazuki is faster than the KOF 97/98 version. You still can't 
 chain it however
 - Saika can only be done when Iori is the Leader, although it isn't a
 LDM per se
 - Iori's LDM is the same as Orochi Iori's EXCEED in SVC: CHAOS, but this 
 time around the flame turns red before the end, it's also an overhead 
 attack and its range is much better than in SVC

 Notes: 
 - The code to play as Kusanagi:
 Down, rotate clockwise to up-left, then counter-clockwise to up-right, 
 any button
 - LDM is Orochinagi. Both DM and LDM Orochinagi is faster than Kyo's and 
 chainable from 75 Shiki Kai
 - Oniyaki has longer autoguard frames than Kyo's. If both Kyo and 
 Kusanagi launch their Oniyaki at the same time, Kusanagi's will connect
 - 212 Shiki: Kototsuki You is similar to Iori's: it's faster, goes 
 further and stops on the first hit if blocked, it can't be comboed off
 "stand C, f + B" as in previous years
 - He's basically his 2002 version without the Mu Shiki

 N/A                            N/A

 Notes: 
 - No code has been discovered that allows you to play as Maki, only way 
 to get her is through DIP switches
 - f + A: Jokatsu: Sousou (Zheng Zheng) (This move is a launcher)
 - 108 Katsu: Tamayura no Shitsune works differently depending on the
 button used to do the move, if A she teleports once and does the reflect 
 attack, if C is used she teleports twice [if you are mid-to-far from 
 your opponent she teleports twice forward, if you are close, she 
 teleports once forward and once backwards] and do the reflecting attack
 - 100 Katsu: Tenjin no Kotowari works like Chizuru anti-air, but if it
 connects she does 3 follow-ups hits
 - qcb + P works different depending on the button too, if A, she does
 her feared 11-hit combo, it's blockable, but if she connects the 1st
 hit, she'll do the full combo ending on a final blow once you're on the
 ground. The last hit is an overhead and it's escapable/blockable. If you 
 use C button, she does a fast dash to the other side of the screen that 
 knocks the opponent down, it's REALLY fast
 - qcb + B is a simple forward teleport that returns her to the original 
 spot she was standing on, For distracting purposes
 - For the d,d + P / K attacks, here's a little table:
   * d,d+A: She sends a shadow forward in a "leaping" manner
   * d,d+B: She teleports forward. Same as above except this time its her
   * d,d+C: She leaps into the air and does a cross-over kick
   * d,d+D: Her shadows leaps into the air and heads towards the opponent
     Hits low, very fast
 - For Rimen 85 Katsu: Reigi no Ishizue, Chizuru comes out and to the 
 "sealing", it seems Maki can't do it herself ^^U

 Notes: 
 - No code has been discovered that allows you to play as Adel, only

 - Double Tomahawk is the double axe kick Rugal used to have
 - Reppukyaku is a watered-down version of 2002 Rugal's Destruction Beats
 - df + C is the high kick that use to be Rugal's CD attack
 - After any Tokushu Waza you can follow up with a Reppuken motion 
 (qcf + K), with B version Adel does the normal Reppuken (but it's funny 
 that the Reppuken doesn't hit you, just the kick), with D version Adel 
 does an axe kick and throw a Reppuken,
 - Dark Barrier can reflect any projectile attack
 - B Genocide Cutter comes out instantly, with C version Adel slides 
 across the screen and do it at the end.

 Notes: 
 - No code has been discovered that allows you to play as Mukai, only

 - Mukai doesn't have a crouching animation
 - His normal D kick has MANY frames of autoguard
 - df + C is an uppercut, good antiair
 - d + D is a sliding kick
 - qcf + P is a rock throwing attack
 - qcb + P / K makes a pillar erupts from the ground, the button you
 press affects the location of the pillar (a la Orochi Shermie), being
 A the closest and D the farthest
 - dp + P makes a pillar falls from the sky exactly on your head, no
 matter where you are
 - hcb, f + P is the move when he petrifies you
 - qcf(x2) + P throws a series of pillars
 - His LDM is a full screen one, he "shines" with a gray light that

 BOSSES INFO
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 After your third match, a small cut-scene is shown where a priestess
 cast a spell, after it you get to fight with Kusanagi (the Kyo clone
 that we first saw in KOF2002)

 The way you defeat Kusanagi affects you further progress in the game.

 - If you defeat Kusanagi with a normal/special move:
 
 You have another match and after it another cutscene is shown, this time
 the priestess is talking to you, she reveals herself as this year's KOF
 sponsor...and nothing more, she says you'll be tested, after it, Rugal's
 portrait is shown briefly and you find yourself in an air-carrier, it is
 then revealed that you're in the Sky-Noah and your opponent will be none
 other than Rugal's son himself: ADELHEID BERNSTEIN, his sister Rose is
 in the background playing the piano.

 If you win, another cutscene is shown, Adelheid is laying in the floor,
 his sister seems very pissed off and claims for vengeance, Adel then
 tells her to let it be, "Defeat is defeat, sister" are his exact words.
 It seems the son is a better sportman than his father ever was ^^U

 - If you defeat Kusanagi with a DM/LDM:
 
 You have another match and after it a cutscene is shown, this time the
 priestess reveals that you were being tested and you passed the test.
 She reveals herself to be Chizuru Kagura (you can see some weird 
 "black threads" behind her), the sponsor of this year's KOF, after that 
 another figure resembling Chizuru is shown, it turns out to be, that 
 other person is nothing more than Maki Kagura, Chizuru's sister who was 
 killed in 1986 by Goenitz!! Those two proceed to fight you after that.

 If you defeat Kagura Sisters, another cutscene is shown, a strange 
 figure appears, it's named Mukai and it's a servant of a greater power.
 After the fight, he claims that his masters's time has come, and leaves
 alive, then a image of him and 4 other more servants is shown, and it's
 interesting to see that they are on the palm of a gigantic hand, one can
 stop to wonder "who they are?" and "who's the owner of that hand?"

 It seems KOF 2K4 will be full of surprises!!! 

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SECRET CODES

 So far only the codes for Kusanagi and Chizuru Kagura are out:
