Hint:
Defeating Omega: When at the last stage against Omega and he stops shooting at
you, get close to him and continuously punch him. Do not worry if he blocks
-- eventually he will stop and you will knock him out.
Hint:
Higher survival mode score: Collect as many items as possible. Another way to raise your
score to live for a long time. You do not need to KO anyone -- if you look
at the bottom left, you will notice that the score gets higher.
Hint:
More survival mode items: A sneaky way to get more items is to attack them while they are
on the ground. Some characters need different buttons. For example, with
Tina and Bass press Up and (Black or X + A + B)
or Down + A. This is a great method to get Zack's third
costume, higher scores, and live longer (since the food heals you).
Hint:
Easy survival mode: Choose single or team mode and two characters you are skilled
with (Ayane and Kasumi recommended). When you start off, the first opponents
are very easy to defeat. Once you get to about your seventh or eighth, it
starts to get difficult. Always pick up the little icons that drop when they
die. This brings up your health slightly. When the CPU opponent is on the
ground, quickly press Down + Black as your second character
(if playing in team attack mode). They will stomp on the opponent. Note:
Sometimes the charter will miss due to the camera angle. When you stomp on
the CPU opponent, an icon will appear from them. IF you are low on health,
pick it up. When the CPU keeps attacking, grab their attack after the first
hit. For example, when Zack keeps kicking you can grab his kick after the
first hit if you are fast enough. If the CPU keeps switching characters,
block and hit when you can, then quickly switch to your other characte. You
can tell when they are going to switch by watching their health. Their first
and second characters should be at the same amount of health. If one is
lower, the CPU will recall the character with the lower health.
Hint:
Theater mode : Successfully complete the game in story mode to unlock that
fighter's entry in theater mode.
Hint:
Ending credits: Successfully complete story mode with all fighters. An option to
toggle the ending credits will be unlocked on the game settings screen.
Hint:
Chest jiggle: Select multi-player mode and choose tag battle. Select any two
characters for the player one then choose any character and Leifang for the
player two. Pick any stage to fight in. Fight with Leifang only. When both
battles are over. choose any characters at the character selection screen
for player one, then a character for player two. Choose any girl character
for the second choice for the player two and their chest will jiggle.
Hint:
Nude women: There are three nude women in test tubes in the DOATEC HK stage.
You cannot see anything because of the position they are in. To find these
girls, look for the window opposite to the one that leads to the street. You
should start out near that window. Use a powerful attack to push your
opponent through the window. If done correctly, you should now be in a fog
filled room. Two of the women will be on one side of the room while the
other one is on the opposite side. If you push your opponent into the set of
test tubes with one woman, she will stretch her arms and resume her original
position.
Hint:
Ground attacks: Each character has many ways of attacking while their opponent is
on the ground. To find out how to do these attacks, go to command list and
look for the ground attack list. This is very helpful in survival mode.
Note: Each character has different ground attacks.
Hint:
Finishing poses: There are many finishing poses that can only be seen by winning a
match without getting a single hit. It is recommended that you set the match
to two rounds. It should say "Great!" the first time, and
"Greatest!" the second time. Note: Each character only has two of
these poses.
Hint:
Alternate victory poses: By making certain characters fight, the victory pose may change.
For example, if Tina and Bass fight they will sometimes say something
different after they win. Note: This does not work with all characters.
Hint:
Alternate entrances: Each character has one entrance that can only be viewed by losing
a match against Genra. After continuing, Genra and your character will make
their entrance; only this time it will be different.
Hint:
Alternate partner team attacks: Instead of using the original teams such as Ayane and Hyate,
Hitomi and Zack, and Tina and Bass, try using these character combinations
to see some brutal team up attacks:
Ayane and Kasumi
Gen Fu and Kasumi
Lei Fang and Helena
Lei Fang and Tina
Tina and Zack
Christie and Brad Wong
Christie and Bayman
Ayane and Ein
Tina and Bayman
Hayabusha and Gen Fu
Hyate and Hayabusha
Jann Lee and Hitomi
Jann Lee and Tina
Zack and Jann Lee
Bass and Zack
Hint:
Unlocking costumes: To unlock everyone's third, fourth or fifth costumes (if
available), go into survival mode, choose your character and keep fighting
until an "X" that is similar to the Xbox logo appears. Collect it
and die (or keep fighting). If you quit, it will disappear and you will not
get the costume.
Glitch:
Hayabusa automatically stands: As Hayabusa, do the move where you stand on your head. Then have
the other player as Kasumi use her Up + A throw. She will jump
on him, and he will automatically be standing again.
Glitch:
Suicide drop: While playing as Hayabusa on Lorelei, lure you opponent to where
you can kick them off. Do the grab move, where you punch the opponent in the
air, jump, then grab him. Hayabusa or Lorelei should punch the opponent then
jump off the cliff with the enemy.
When playing a two player
versus game, choose Tina as your character and any one else as player two.
Select the mountain stage and have player two to walk up to the edge. When
ready, have Tina perform her "Flying Buttocks" attack and quickly
have player two counter. Tina should now fly butt-first into oblivion.
