Using Neo Geo Freak, Gamest and the Neo Geo Japan Translation (At Wu-Tech) you may find some names are different to what you have read elsewhere... The current sticker I got at my arcade is in PORTUGESE! The format of the faq is now in original Japanese names only. The translations are provided by Kao Megura in a seperate section. I may well add the official translations later.
In a Neo Geo format, The buttons are arranged like thus: A B C D
A = light punch B = light kick C = hard punch D = hard kick
Start = Taunt
Q = Quarter H = Half C = Circle Fwd = Forward Bk = Back DP = Dragon Punch Motion (Fwd, Dwn, Dwn Fwd) RPD = Reverse DP
Special = generally speaking, a fighting move that takes energy off opponent even if blocked and requires a input on the joystick and button.
DM = Desperation Move. The last ditch, last resort move! Summon all your strength for one last try to blow away the opposition! Well, that's how it used to be... *reminisces Fatal Fury II - sigh*
SDM = Super Desperation Move
Lag = Delay Time
Foe = Your opponent, like P2 or whatever
(A) Move = Press a button and your character performs a move.
Command Move = Press a button and joystick direction (eg Fwd) and some characters do another move.
Buffer = Use a movement that doesn't execute a move but saves the input in preparation for the next.
Game System---------------------------------------------------------
(facing right) Running Dash : Fwd Fwd Back Step : Back Back Small Jump : Bk-Up or Up or Up-Fwd instantly Middle Jump : When running : Bk-Up or Up or Up-Fwd. From standing: Bk Down + Bk-Up or Up or Up-Fwd. Big Jump : Hold Bk-Up or Up or Up-Fwd. Guard Cancel : when blocking AB or foward/ backward AB (needs 1 power guage stock) Throw Forward : When close, Bk/Fwd + C Throw Backward : When close, Bk/Fwd + D Heavy Attack : C+D Guard Cancel Blow off: when blocking C+D(need 1 power guage stock) Guard Crush : In general, block 13 hits in succession and your guard breaks! If you can time it, you can get a free combo! Safe Landing : AB when landing Mid-Air block : Bk-Up or Bk or Bk-Dwn when performing up /backward jump Slide Dodge (+Attack): forward/ backward + A+B (if fwd + any button to attack) (NOTE: The slide backwards will automatically force you forward again BUT you can stop this with a special move) Striker System : BC Counter Mode Activate: ABC(need 3 power guage stocks) Armor Mode Activate : BCD(need 3 power guage stocks) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 has a new system which revolves around the slide dodge attack, counter/armor mode and the striker. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Counter Mode = Press A+B+C
You need 3 stocks for this. In this mode, you can do DM/SDM (depending on red energy bar) ad infinitum (However they come out slower with less priority unless in a combo) Skilled players will prefer to use this mode in combos, as you can combo certain special moves into SDMs; eg: Terry DP+B into QCFx2+B...
You need 3 stocks for this. In this mode, when you get hit you don't get "damaged"- you don't get the animation and recovery time that you would normally. You still lose energy though. The real bonus is you won't suffer any tick damage from blocked specials in this mode. Note: You do get pushed back when you get hit so you can't try stupid stuff like walking through a fat combo to get in a throw- you will lose too much energy to compensate.
Note: With both Counter and Armor Modes, they last for about 9 seconds. After that you can't charge stock for about 13 seconds. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Slide Dodge Attack = Press A+B while pressing back/forward then (fwd only) press a button to attack.
This is the combined Advanced and Extra Mode of KOF '98. If you press A+B + Back, you slide back but then hop forward automatically (You cannot Dodge Attack). You can cancel the hop forward by performing a special move. In counter mode you can combo a special move with dodge attack. If you press A+B while blocking you will cancel guard and slide forward/backward (costs 1 stock) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Striker System
Press B+C to call out your striker. You are invincible for the second that you call out the striker. You will taunt and then the striker appears, so forget about using them as part of a combo. However you can use them as combo starters as some will hold the opponent or set up a juggle! In general you Strikers are best used as soon as you knock down an opponent. More on this in each teams section.
Note: Some offensive Strikers only do something if the opponent doesn't block. I'll update these... -------------------------------------------------------------------- DM/SDM:
The return of the red flashing energy! Woohoo! You need 1 stock to execute a DM. Well, if you have 1/7 energy left, when you do DM it will be SDM. Actually this is proving to be quite annoying; With 1 stock Terry can do some serious SDM damage if he can connect with a Stand C (arguably the easiest combo starter in the game)
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Stocks: Every time you do a special move or block attacks, your bar fills up. Once it is full, it empties and an icon appears next to indicate a stock. You can build up to three. However, Stocks DO NOT transfer to the next player. So you may as well use them like crazy if you are about to die.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortcuts: The shorcut control system still exists in '99.
DP + P/K can be executed thus: Fwd, (neutral), Dwn-Fwd + P/K
P + QCF + P can be executed thus: Fwd, Dwn-Fwd + P (hold P), Fwd
P + QCFx2 + P can be executed thus: QCF, Down, Down Forward + P (hold P), Fwd - The same method applies with HCF combos
Low B, Low A, QCFx2 + A can be exectued thus: Dwn + B, QCF + A, QCF + A
P, QCF HCB + P can be executed thus: QCF, Down-Forward, Down, Down-Back + P (hold P), Back
Where there is no special move designated for a movement EG: HCB will not do anything for Clark use it to buffer a combo. EG: HCB + P, HCB + P (Clark) will execute P, HCBx2 + P
I've noted that the guy/gal who illustrated the KOF 98 intro (not the match end graphics, which were horrible I might add) is now fully illustrating all the character potraits in KOF 99... which are niiiiice! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------
Invitation cards were sent to fighters all over the world. A new King of Fighters tournament would be held. However, there was no grand media attention like last year The fighters wondered who was behind this years organisation? There was a new rule in the regulations: Striker Match! Many couldn't conceal their bewilderment at this. It had never been done before... Heidern felt suspicious and sends Ralf, to investigate the organisation behind the tournament. Benimaru is invited to KOF as a member of a special team: his team members include two names he had never heard before; K' and Maxima.... though Beni is perplexed as he had never heard of these names in the grapple field, he boldly accepted.
What is the Striker match? Is there something hidden in the tournament? Various mysteries are conceived, and so the saga continues...
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Heroes Team --------------------------------------------------------------------
Benimaru received the invitation to the King of Fighters Tournament again, as usual. But he found that two boxes at his team entry are already occupied by two new names: K' and Maxima... What's the deal about that?
-------------------------------------------------------------------- K'------------------------------------"Ore hitori de, juubun da..."- -----------------------"I'm just one person, but that's enough...."- -------------------------------------------------------------------- The first thing is that Krizalid asks K' if he can remember his childhood or his fathers face. K' can't. That's because he's a clone! However, Whip asks Krizalid if he can remember her father's face because they are brother and sister. Krizalid can't. That's because he's a clone of K' with Whip's brother's memory implanted in him. Which begs the question... Is K' Whip's brother or just a clone and what happened to Whip's brother?
K has the power of Kyo implanted in him. To control it he has to wear a special red glove.

Kao - I always saw "Koppou" translated as "bone breaking", but it actually means "knack" or "understanding". Since Andy learned Shiranui ninjitsu from Hanzou, I suppose it means that he has learned the ninja arts, or else basic ninja techniques.

Striker : Taunts. If foe touches her, she does "Sakura Fubuki"
Misc: -This year, can't do Fwd B ---> low C. (>_<) -Toki Tsubute AKA Shermie Homage. This is an air grab. The opponent must be in the air for it to work. When it does work, Mai's hair suddenly covers her eyes - and I know why. This move is possibly the most erotic happiness throw I have ever seen. Sorry, but that IS Shermie doing that move, not Mai. Mai grabs the opponent's head, rams it to her crotch... I've watched it frame by frame using the pause button :)

Story --
After the battle with Orochi, Kyo found himself unconsious in a very dark room. He was drained of all energy and a hand was clutching his face. This person asks Kyo if he is Kyo and thanks him for his data. Kyo realises that something is taken from him and it's his blood.
Kyo couldn't see this guy, but he can keep hearing him calling his name. Suddenly fire explodes everywhere and he saw someone standing in front of him. The word "NESTS" is engraved on his body.Another explosion comes and blasts Kyo to a further distance where he saw many dead bodies. And they are all Kyos! Kyo now realises what's going on. Someone has been making clones of himself. Kyo now again hears this guy calling him. Without hesitation, Kyo quickly escapes from this place. As Kyo escapes from this place, he says "NESTS! You will pay dearly for this!"
The above article is released from SNK itself and it tells that Kyo escapes from Kralizid without a fight. --------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of soldiers assembles in front of him and get ready to fire. Iori said "Are you talking to me?" No one seems to answer him. He asks again," Where is Kyo?" Instead the number of soilders kept on increasing. As the soldiers are about to fire. An explosion came up from behind and killed the soldiers.

-Beni vs Real Kyo *trans by Mai-chan* Nothing is said. Beni is now part of the New Hero Team. Kyo is once again his rival. There is a high tension in the air.
-Shingo vs Real Kyo *trans by Mai-chan* Shingo is suprised to his sempai after so long. The last thing Kyo said to Shingo was to get some Yakisoba bread for him... Shingo hides behind his arms and screams: "KuuuuuuusaNAGI-SAN!". Will Kyo be suprised to see how Shingo has grown? Will he be impressed to see how Shingo got this far? Kyo shows no emotion.
-Shingo vs Kasumi *trans by Mai-chan* Shingo gets out his notebook to check a move. Kasumi is angry because she wants him to be serious about this match.
-Andy vs Mai *trans by Mai-chan* Mai holds out a baby that cries "Papa Papa"! Andy is shocked (to say the least). However this is Mai's ventriloquism and a ninja trick. The baby is actually Mai's fan. Mai giggles.
-Terry vs Mary Terry greets Mary. Mary says "Let's fight Terry!"
Kensou vs Athena
Athena vs Bao
Kim vs Chang
Choi vs Jhun
Xiangfei vs FF Team (Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai)
Bao vs any female
Kasumi vs AOF Team (Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Yuri)
K' vs Kyo
Leona vs Whip
Real Kyo vs Iori
-Andy vs Terry Terry says "Are you ready?"
-Andy vs Joe Andy shakes a limp wrist while Joe cracks his knuckles
-Kensou vs Xiangfei Kensou will eat his bun and Xianfei will look at him all hungry. Then she'll say "onaka ga suita" (I'm hungry).
-Ralf vs Clark Clark takes off his cap and holds it with one hand. Ralf gets down on one knee and says "Kakatekina Clark!!!" (Come on Clark!!!) Clark flips his cap and then puts it on saying "Okay Rarufu!!!"
-Chang vs Choi *Rehabitation Hell Never Ends* They notice each other with a small spark. They look like they're about to do their VS intro from '98, but instead they both lean forward with head down and let their arms hang limp (like they're exhausted). It looks like they realise (because of Jhun) there is no chance in hell they can try to escape this year!
-------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS INFO --------------------------------------------------------------------
The Boss, Krizalid, is proving a toughie. A typical SNK boss with huge hurricane fireballs... more on this later...
1st Form: Appears in a long coat. Does a large axe kick (overhead) He's always standing but has a shin kick that acts as a sweep. Shoots King fireballs that you can duck.
2nd Form: Takes off coat. Looks like K'. His axe kick now has a fat hurricane shooting out which travels across the screen. Has a K' DP attack.
Defeating Krizalid: Form 1: -Kensou. Do his DP +A, low A, repeat.
Form 2: -Kensou. Do his DP +A, low A, repeat. -Clark. Knock him down, I suggest using SABB(HCF+k), after that, stand near him and perform stand close C(1 hit) buffered or comboed into SABB just as he's getting up. If Krizeilid blocks it, he will automatically perform a backfist chop move which will leave him open and exactly right in front of you. do another stand close C(1 hit), then SABB. Just repeat the process until he's dead.
After KOF97's final battle with the Orochi had taken place, Krizalid had captured Kyo to create a series of Kyo clones. While Kyo escaped from the grasp of Krizalid, Krizalid succeeded in creating the clones. In order to gain more data to perfect the clones which will ultimately lead to his plans for world domination, Krizalid sends them to KOF tournaments all over the world.
While the nesesary data gets collected in good time by the clones during the tournament, the only data which remains to be collected is that to kill a human being. And so, Krizalid himself prepares to battle, and create the last bit of data himself.

E: is for English, J: is for Japanese. If I had enough space, I just put English text on the left side and the translation on the right. Most all of the translations were from SNK's page, I think the only ones from Ura no Ura's page were "Tedou Bakuha" and "Chouhatsu".

- I don't really know how to translate 'atemi', the meaning is sort of like saying "get hit by a upper/middle/lower attack" depending on the move. "Self Hit" is the closest thing I could think of.

- According to Ura no Ura's page, Xiangfei's move names are all joke references ('Majinga' is supposed to be a reference to 'Mazinger', and 'Kankuu' refers to an airport in Kansai). So, the nonsensical translations may actually be like that since the emphasis is on what the move name sounds like, not what kanji is used to spell it.

Nasa "You have failed." Krizalid "No! I can still activate the clones!" Nasa "It is too late. They have been neutralised"
*pic of map with clone locations marked with red dots- the dots disappear rapidly*
Krizalid "What do I do now?" Nasa "The mission is aborted. All operatives will be terminated"
*Cue pic of Krizalid with that distinctive You're-joking-right?-oh-my-God-I'm-going-to-die-ehehehe look on his face*
Krizalid "N-no!" Nests "Farewell Krizalid, rest in peace."

*Black Screen: "Project Krizalid... erased"*
Voice "Hey, wake up! Are you alright? What's your name?"
Krizalid "My name? My name is..."
END.
Credits follow with random (new) pics just like in '98 (same music too).
Endings from Manifest: http://fly.to/mjl (Endings will be different if a different character in your team is used to defeat Kryzalid.)
Japan Team (Maxima) K is talking to Maxima about Kyo. Halfway in the conversation, K has a feeling that someone is hiding somewhere, eavesdropping. Then he comes to a conclusion that the person listening is Kyo. Then you have a bonus round against Kyo. Using Maxima to win Kyo, the story continues. After defeating Real Kyo, the scene shows Shingo, Benimaru, K, Maxima and Real Kyo. Benimaru and Shingo ask Kyo where he has been and what happened to him. K asks Benimaru and Shingo to run away. Then a steel door separates K and Maxima from Kyo. K says 'I must beat you next time... if you can survive this.' A lot of people come and shoot K and Maxima. The next scene shows Shingo and Benimaru runs. Halfway, Shingo falls, and Benimaru stops. Then credits. A picture shows Benimaru helping Shingo along. Then the scene shows Maxima says he will help K to screen all the bullets. After the people fire at them, Maxima's hand catches fire. K slings Maxima over his shoulder and helps him along. Maxima says to K 'Holy swish-kabob!'
Fatal Fury Team (Terry) Everyone runs, except for Terry. He just stands there. A big fat hunk of rock slams him. Credits.... The last scene shows a street fight with picture of Terry punching some fat dude.
Art Of Fighting (Takuma Sakazaki) The scene shows 4 persons running. Takuma lags behind, and he got hit by a rock suddenly. He was down but the other 3 continued to run; with tears in their eyes. Then the credits. First picture shows a grave with the Mr. Karate mask hanging on the grave. Next picture shows the 3 of them putting flowers beside the grave. The ending shows the 3 of them leaving the grave. Suddenly, a hand burst out of the grave. The screen displays a message : "To be continued?"
Ikari Team (Whip) Everyone runs, but Whip is missing. One asks where she is and someone replies that she has gone to handle some unfinished business. Then another scene shows Whip talking to Krizalid. Krizalid addresses Whip as his sister, and asks her why she left the organization. Whip replies saying that Krizalid is pitiful, and doesn't even know he is being made use of. She tells him that his memory is being implanted on him, therefore he is not what he think he is. Krizalid refuses to believe and Whip asks him if he has any idea of how their father looks like. Krizalid fails to answer and Whip says that she herself realized that she was being made used by the organization and that was why she left it. Krizalid refuses to believe that he is a clone, and Whip reveals to him that he is actually a clone of K'. Then Whip leaves Krizalid to die. After the credits, Heidern asks why Whip is late. Whip says she has visited someone and made peace with him. Then Heidern asks if he is okay and Whip replies that he didn't make it. Then the screen turns to show Whip crying.
Psycho Soldiers (Athena Asamiya) When the 4 are running, Athena suddenly stops and sees her ' Number One Fan' (the girl with the big glasses) telling her where the exit was. Then the credits. Pictures of them resting on a cliff are shown. Then next picture is Kensou alone by himself, throwing small pebbles. The ending is Athena asking Kensou why he is so sad and Kensou replies that although he has won, he still haven't got his psychic powers back. Then Athena hugs him from behind and says that they will always be behind him no matter what happens. Then Kensou's face turns red - eyes with love signs - he fainted. Athena shouts to the rest what did she do wrong, and Bao says that Athena had overdone it.
Psycho Soldiers (Sie Kensou) After defeating Real Kyo, Athena is being crushed by falling rocks. Kensou drains Bao's psychic powers to save Athena. The picture drawn on Kensou is full of vigor and power.
Neo Female Team (Li Xiangfei) Xiangfei says she is famished and asks the rest about having some ' Dim Sum' ( snacks). The rest agree. Next scene shows 4 of them eating, and suddenly, at Xiangfei's side, the amount of empty dim sum containers eaten by Xiangfei increased so rapidly till the containers fill up the picture. The other 3 members were shocked at her food intake. Mary's mouth opened so big. But the funniest thing is that King who is so amazed at Xiangfei's speed of eating, actually pours her drink on her own snack and causes it to overflow; without realizing it. Then the credits. Next picture is King whispering into Xiangfei's ear, showing a big speech bubble with the '$' sign. Then next picture is Xiangfei taking out her purse. Xiangfei shakes the purse but she has no money, and the rest of the gang refuses to let her eat anymore.
Korean Team (Jhun Foon) The 4 of them running. The first picture shows Kim and Jhun Foon discussing bout Tae Kwan Do, with Jhun Foon commenting bout Kim's style being outdated. Then the picture changed to Chang and Choi talking to each other. They were complaining and saying they will never be free. Suddenly Choi says, "Unless we...." Next screen shows Kim and Jhun Foon talking again, but suddenly behind their backs, a huge figure stands up. It is Chang, holding his chain-ball above his head, ready to strike down the two unsuspecting guys. Then the picture moves up to show the sun, and Choi flying up, with his claws spread over, just like an eagle. Then the credits start. The first picture shows shadows, but we can see that Chang has squashed Jhun Foon flat on the ground with his chain ball; and Choi diving down, slashing Kim's throat with his claws while doing so. Blood can be seen. Next picture shows Kim and Jhun dead on the floor and the two celebrating. After the credits, the ending shows Chang and Choi looking up at the sky with blood on their faces and bodies on the ground. Then came the disappointment as it was only a plan in their minds. Then they guessed that they have become reformed. Kim and Jhun comes along. Kim says that they are not fully reformed yet. From the next day onwards, Kim will be in charge of Choi and Jhun will be in charge of Chang for maximum reformation training. The other two replied with a "Yes, Sir!"
Edited with real Kyo in your team Everyone runs, but Kyo is missing. Another scene shows Kyo talking to the light (Kryzalid's boss). Kyo asks why he/she is doing this. The light replies that only with Kyo's power, their plan can succeed earlier by 10 years. Then the light says goodbye, Kyo Kusanagi. Rocks begin to fall and Kusanagi exclaims arggh!
Edited with Iori in your team Everyone runs, but Iori is missing. Another scene shows Iori talking to the light (Kryzalid's boss). Iori says 'Do you think your puny power could stop me?' The light says that Iori is no pushover like Kyo Kusanagi. Then the light says goodbye, Iori Yagami. Rocks begin to fall and Yagami exclaims arggh! After credits, Heidern and a bunch of uniformed personnel examine Kryzalid. One of the personnel says 'We tried to save him... but he died before...'. Heidern asks 'Any other survivors?' The personnel says 'There was one other survivor. But there is no trace of him.' The next scene shows Iori standing on a cliff. 'Kyo Kusanagi, wherever you are, I will seek you down.'
After defeating Kryzalid (Full Team) Kyo appears and ask the light why they are cloning him. The boss will ask Kyo to defeat your team. Then you will get a bonus fight against Kyo. After you win Kyo, the light will say that it is because he needs power to fulfill the plans for world domination, and Kyo's power can help them succeed earlier by 10 years. Then it was revealed that K' is a clone created by them which has ability that rivals Kyo's. Then suddenly the light says goodbye and the screen starts shaking. Kyo doesn't move and says "Arghh!!" The next scene will show your team running.
Mai-chan For helping me with translation... "Sideburns" "Sunglasses" ... Gee you would have thought these would be in the standard dictionary...
Kao Megura Kao popped up with a massive translation faq which, as you can see I've added in an addendum. We discussed various info and basically he straightened me out on my "basic" japanese! All normal throw and command movenames and various bio info. He, in turn, translated his info from SNK of Japan (www.neogeo.co.jp) Ura no Ura (www2.airnet.ne.jp/~tac)

Note: you will get the same dialogue from Kyo and Iori talking to Nests if you meet them in the game. Also it doesn't matter if you win or lose against them- the game ending will not change.
After defeating Kryzalid (Full Team) Kyo appears and ask the light why they are cloning him. The boss will ask Kyo to defeat your team. Then you will get a bonus fight against Kyo. After you win Kyo, the light will say that it is because he needs power to fulfill the plans for world domination, and Kyo's power can help them succeed earlier by 10 years. Then it was revealed that K' is a clone created by them which has ability that rivals Kyo's. Then suddenly the light says goodbye and the screen starts shaking. Kyo doesn't move and says "Arghh!!" The next scene will show your team running.
