Welcome to my King of Fighters '99 FAQ! I hope to load this FAQ full of info on the game, from the basics of play to the most complicated of moves. This game is simply awesome and I plan to make this and its "companion" King of Fighters R-2 FAQ a force to be reckoned with! ;)
|-----REVIEW----- |Overall - 10/10 | To put it simply, this game is perfect. Everything about | it has been honed over uncountable installments of this | classic series, and this is the climax of all SNK's great | work. | |Music - 10/10 | The music is awesome. Every one of the dozens of | characters actually has their own theme! There is music | to fit all tastes. Take for example Billy Kane's | industrial/techno, KMFDM-ish music compared to Blue | Mary's jazz theme. And with the near four dozen characters | there is bound to be at least song you like! | |Graphics- 10/10 | The character sprites are simply amazing. Tons of | bright, vibrant colors and smooth animation that far | surpass even the game's arcade counterparts! I have | seen comparison screen shots of '99 and the arcade '98 | side by side and the difference is astounding. The | fluidness of the animation frames is great. The frame | rate is garunteed to be the best you've seen in a 2d | fighter except maybe the DC version of Marvel vs. | Capcom. | |Control - 9/10 | The control is also a feat to behold. For those | of you who think that only Capcom can make a decent | fighting engine... you are dead wrong. The control is | extremely fluid, and beats the crap out of previous | SNK fighters. |----------------
==================================================================================== PART 3 - BASICS
!! More info coming to this section soon !!
-----Extra Vs. Advanced Mode----- There are some important differences between the two modes, and the one you choose will ultimatly affect the outcome of the battle. Most of you will want to use Advanced mode.
Advantages/Disadvantages of Extra: (+) In Extra mode you can build up your Power meter, without actually having to fight. (+) You can use infinite Desperation moves when low in life. (+) If your bar is Maxed and you are low in life it is the same as "Power MAX" so you can do your Super Desperation Moves. (-) You can only "store" one Desperation move at a time. (-) Once fully charged, you have a limited time to use your Desperation move or else you have to recharge.
Advantages/Disadvantages of Advanced: (+) You don't have to leave yourself open to earn your Desperation Move. (+) You can "store" multiple Desperation moves. (+) You can use "Power MAX" without being low in life. (-) May take a while to get your Power Gauge up depending on how the fight goes.
-----Power MAX----- To activate "Power MAX" you have to be in Advanced mode and press all four of the attack buttons. This will take up one level of your Power Gauge. What this does, is your Desperation moves will do more damage, and will usually look much more extravagent(called Super Desperation Moves). Unfourtunatly, you have a limited time to pull off the move, before you go back to normal. This is a great technique for any beginner to master the use and timing of. Note that in Extra mode you can only do Super Desperation Moves when you are low and life and your Power Gauge is up.
-----Strong Attack----- You can do a "Strong Attack" by pressing both HP and HK at the same time. This is generally a move such as a drop kick or soulder charge, or just a large punch, that can be used to do damage like a normal move. Thought I would mention it for those of you who have never played a King of Fighters game before and can't read the Japanese Instructions. :)
-----Dodging & Rolling----- Depending on whether you choose "Advanced" or "Extra you get a different evasion technique you can use by pressing both LK and LP at the same time. Extra gives you a dodge, that allows you side step an attack. Advanced gives a roll, that you can use to get by moves, get behind an opponent, etc. I am admittedly not very good with these techniques, so if you feel you can elaborate more on them, please send me an e-mail.
==================================================================================== PART 3 - CHARACTERS & MOVES
More details and such about the moves coming later. There are tons of characters in this game and it will take me some time to get everything up.
I now have everything up from the book, as well as all the moves for every character that was also in King of Fighters R-2. I am currently working on adding the moves unlisted in the book, and descriptions for the various moves.
NOTE: It will take me a while to translate the move names in Kanji, as the text is so small in the book because of the number of characters they didn't add the little Hiragana notes above the Kanji characters.

Do the "In Air" version whenever to pull ] | | [ the move off at the spur of the moment. The alternate ] | | [ way to do it works a little differently. Charge Down, ] | | [ then press Up and Punch, and hold down Punch. When you ] | | [ want to dive down, release Punch.

-----SECRET CHARACTERS----- To play as the alternate version of some characters, hold down "Start" while selecting the secret characters normal counterpart. Characters with secret versions of them include:
Kyo Kusanagi(from KoF '94) Terry Bogard(from Real Bout 2) Andy Bogard(from Real Bout 2) Joe Higashi(from Real Bout 2) Ryo Sakazaki(from Art of Fighting/KoF '94) Robert Garcia(from Art of Fighting/KoF '94) Yuri Sakazaki(from Art of Fighting/KoF '94) Mai Shiranui(from Real Bout 2) Billy Kane(from Real Bout 2) Orochi Yashiro Orochi Shermie Orochi Chris Omega Rugal
-----SECRET STAGES----- Similar to the characters, some stages even have their own special versions. Just hold down "Start" while selecting certain stages.
-----EXTRA SURVIVAL MODE----- Hold down "Start" and press "A" over Survival Mode. To do this you may have to beat it once normally first. You will know if you are in the alternate survival mode if you fight characters alone instead of as teams.
-----EARNING THE "VISUALS"----- Through fighting you can earn points with which you can view "Visuals" which are just a series of pictures. This option can be found under "Neo Geo Pocket", just go to upload and select Point Plus to get credit for your points you have earned. Then, go to download and you can look at the different pictures you have enough points to view.
Note the following. Each character can only get 100 points max. In other words, to get every picture, you must master all the characters.
The following is not set in stone, but this is what I THINK is the number of points you get for various things: Win - 1 point DM Finish - 1 point Perfect - 3 points Beat Omega Rugal - 5 points Under 10 Seconds - 20 points The Rugal one I am *really* unsure about, but when I got a perfect with a DM finish on him with Orochi Yashiro I suddenly had 10 points, instead of the 5 I would normally earn from that. Again I will say it though, these numbers may not be correct. There is a page that gives the numbers on SNK Japan's site, and that is where I got the under 10 seconds one, but I may have mistranslated. I will test it out before the next update.
