D-pad from Forward, to Down, to Back, and pressing FK (A) immediately afterwards.
During Jago's leaping kick, near the end or afterwards, press QK (B), sweep the
D-pad backwards again, then press FP (Y), then QK (B). Sweep the D-pad once more
backwards and press QK (B). Often the combo will end with a triple leap kick,
making it a 12-hit move. If not, Jago will finish off with a last jump kick giving

Hint: Orchid: 29 hit combo:
Step quite far back and execute a flip (Back for two secondss, Forward + A).
The flip should just clip one foot of your opponent or else the rest of the combo
will not work. Immediately press L then do another flip. Press L again and repeat
until you have done four flips total since the start of the combo. Press Back and B,
then do a flip, but instead of doing it with the A button use R. If done correctly,
you should have done 28 hits and your opponent should be in midair. Do Orchid's Jet
move (Left, Down/Left, Down, Down/Right, Right, L), which should execute a fire ring.
If timed correctly, you should be able to hit them when they come down, making this a
non-ultra 29 hit combo.

then press QP, then do the San move (Forward, Down/Forward, Down, Down/Back, Back
MP, or QP) with MP, then charge back to forward MP for her Ultra. This results in
42 hits. Since you have done a combo breaker, Orchid will throw three projectiles.
Right before your enemy falls from an excruciating beating, do the "Projectile"
move (Back, Down/Back, Down, Down/Forward, Forward FP, MP, or QP) with QP, to release
three projectiles.

Hint: Sabrewulf: Smack opponent off screen:
Stand one body length away from your opponent, then and press Back(2), Forward, Y.
Sabrewulf should howl, then smack your opponent onto the screen. Then, that opponent
will slide off the screen.
Hint: Sabrewulf: Ultra combos:
When your opponent has blinking red energy, do the Sabre Spin with X, hold Back
and press A a few times, Sabre Spin with Y, hold Back and press L a few times, and
then charge forward and press Back followed by R. After he finishes busting up on
the opponent, do the Sabre Pounce as the opponent falls -- timing is everything.
This should do at least a 29 hit ultra combo.
When your opponent is on red energy, do the Sabre Howl, or get a Combo Breaker.
Sabre Spin with X and wait until he suddenly attacks again. Hold Back and press
A a few times. Press Forward + Y. Press L a few times and hold Forward for two
seconds and press Back + R to do his Ultra. As the opponent falls, Sabre Pounce

When your opponent's life is flashing red (not the backround), hold Back for two
seconds then press Forward + X, hold Back and press A(2), press Forward + Y, hold
Forward and press L(2), then hold Back and press R. If done correctly, this should
result in a 28 hit combo.
When you have your opponent down to red flashing energy, press Back, Down/Back, Down,
Down/Forward, Forward, Fierce Kick (A) to launch Saberwulf at the opponent.
Then, execute a combo with Light Punch (L). As the last punch is being thrown,
press Back, Down/Back, Down, Down/Forward, Forward, Fierce Punch (X).
Hint: Spinal: Transform into opponent:
During a fight, do a combo, then in the middle of your combo attack, press Down(2), X.
Spinal will change into his opponent, do one of his/her attacks, then change back.
Hint: Spinal: Skullaport:
Select Spinal. While in battle, press Down(2), B. If done correctly, Spinal will cackle
and "Skullaport" behind your opponent (or behind where your opponent was, if he or she
moved during the combo. This is good for confusing your opponent and getting in some free
hits. If you teleport, hit your opponent, then teleport again, then hit your opponent again.
They should get confused if you keep doing this, and not hit you or miss.
Do a Skeleport by pressing Down(2), any Punch. Keep repeating and you will slip up and
transform into the other character and do their special moves. Try Down(2), any Kick.
This is very effective against Fulgore.
Hint: Spinal: Combo:
Do the following for a 13-hit combo. Press Down, Down + A to will teleport to opposite
side. Then, press Left, Left +Y, and after that hits hold Left and press X (auto combo).
Then, press Right + X for linker for Spinal only. Then, press Y to auto combo again.
Then, press Left, Left + Y for the last combo.
Hint: Thunder: Defeating Spinal:
When fighting Spinal in any difficulty level, and use the Phoenix (Down, Down/Forward,
Forward and any Kick). Send the Phoenix until Spinal has charged his five "bullets".
Then, get as far as you can away from him and start sending Phoenix again. However,
make sure you press Down after you send the Phoenix. When you press Down while the
Phoenix is in the air, it will go down and produce a low attack. Spinal will protect
himself, but just the top/front side. Every time you send him a lowered Phoenix, it
will hit him. You can kill Spinal very easily by just sending him lowered Phoenix
constantly. You can try the same thing with another character, but you cannot lower
the bullets; just send them fast and constantly. He will defend, there will be a
little damage, and he will eventually die.
Hint: Thunder: Fatality:
When the screen is flashing "Danger", press Back, Down, Forward + X. He will call the
lightning and electrocute his opponent.
Hint: TJ Combo: Combo Breaker after they hit the ground:
With TJ Combo, use the Roll move (press Back briefly, then Forward and Medium Punch)
making sure to hold Forward after the move. Then press Back and Medium Kick after the
first punch makes contact. If done correctly, it will be two. After the second hit,
before your opponent hits the ground, do a juggle by pressing Back, Forward, Fierce
Punch for a three hit combo. Sometimes your opponent will do a Combo Breaker after they
get up. This works best under the harder difficulty settings, when you press Down and
Start to get easy breakers turned on. Turn the "Easy Breakers" to "On" in the options menu.
Hint: TJ Combo: Fatality:
When the screen is flashing "Danger", press Back, Down, Forward + A. He will knock his
opponent onto the screen.
Hint: TJ Combo: Ultimate:
During a combo when your opponent has flashing red health and you are still on your first
life, quickly press Right, Down, Left, B during your combo. If done correctly Combo will
punch his opponent in the middle of the combo and punch his opponent towards the screen,
leading the announcer to say "Ultimate Ultimate".
Hint: Defeating Spinal:
If you face him later in the game (after he starts using his "Shield Charge" where he
backs up and has his shield out and glowing), you can "overcharge" him. Doing this can
be risky. First, select a character that has easy and quick specials (for example,
Cinder or Jago). They must be specials, not combos, or else Spinal will not charge up.
Note: It will be a lot easier if you pick characters that have easy specials and they
are projectiles. Cinder's Fireball (F, F + AP) or Flamethrower (F, F, + AK), or Jago's
Zappy Thing (B, BD, D, FD, F (in a roll) + MP are recommended. Keep hitting him with
the specials while he charges his shield. He will collect Skulls ("bullets").
When Spinal gets Skulls, he can use his shadow moves at a certain cost of them.
Spinal can only have six Skulls (five in some versions of the game), otherwise he
"blows up" and takes damage. Keep doing this and you will probably defeat him.
Hint: Knock off:
Use this trick when on a rooftop level (such as Cinder's or Orchid's building).
When your opponent's health is in the red and is getting very low, back him or her
into a corner. Then, start doing a combo on them. Make sure that the combo will kill
them. If you can do an Ultra, this should work, but if your opponent's health is low
enough, a Master should work just fine. If done correctly, when there health runs out,
instead of doing the flashing red screen, your opponent should fly off of the roof and
fall to the ground.
Hint: Announcer commentary:
Play the Killer Cuts audio CD that was issued with some versions of the game.
Play track 30 to hear the announcer say some of the comments that are in the game
Hint: Blinking eyes in Sky Top level:
Select a two-player game or tournament. Pick Fulgore for player one and any other character
for player two. At the start of the fight, push player two into the corner. Beat player
two up until the announcer says "Danger!", but do not make player two fall off.
Do the turret gun fatality (Back, Down, Forward and Fierce Kick) and watch the clouds.
Two black eyes will appear on and off, making it appear as if they are blinking.
Hint: Humiliation song:
Play track 30 on the Killer Cuts sound track CD.
Glitch: Glacius Ultra:
Select Glacius and enable the hyper code at the versus screen (Left + QK + MK + FK).
After you battle, do his ultra. Half of the time, he will miss and keep punching air.
Note: Do the uppercut to start the Ultra. Move your opponent back one step. Sometimes
he will only hit your opponent once or twice and keep punching at nothing.
Amazing Games. Many Cheats. Such Wow.
