I'm going to focus on the US arcade/Naomi version of the game since I actually 
can confirm stuff for it. A lot more work needs to be done here as it is very 
disorganized and is still missing a lot of character info. I'll try to keep this 
up-to-date as possible before Kao Mengura (Chris MacDonald) does one (and I hope 
soon, cause I want to know the moves too.)

First of all, thanks goes to the people on #capcom, especially DannyCat, Dasrik, 
Viscant, along with Shoryuken.com for providing the most current info on the 
game, MadMan's Cafe (http://mmcafe.syste.ms) for keeping me updated on the game, 
and Ford City for having this game so quickly.

0. Notes
     This FAQ focuses on the US arcade version of the game. This will not 
mention anything on the 'D' 'V' and 'N' points thing on getting the hidden 
stuff. (BTW, check out http://www.gamefaqs.com/mvc2vms.html as CJayC has put up 
a hacked VMU with all the secrets unlocked; believe me, that's probably the only 
reasonable so far.) This FAQ also assumes that you've at least played Marvel vs. 
Capcom and the other Vs. games. I didn't want to fluff this FAQ too much by 
adding stuff most people already know.


1. When is it coming out?
     It's already out in various places across the country starting 3/16/00. 
Check the arcades in your area. For you importers, the release date for the 
Japanese Dreamcast was moved up to 3/28/00. The DC US version seems to have a 
date of 5/02/00 so far, but I also heard that it won't be out until July and 
even September.


2. Who are the characters in the game?
     There were supposed to be 52 characters in the arcade version of the game 
and 40 for the Dreamcast version originally. But it seems that all 56 are going 
to be in there even thought there are 52 boxes. On the Japanese Dreamcast 
version, more boxes revealed themselves when you unlocked past the 40 original 
ones:

     Capcom               Marvel
     ------               ------
     Akuma                Cable
     Amingo               Captain America
     Anakaris             Cyclops
     BB Hood              Dr. Doom
     Captain Commando     Gambit
     Guile                Hulk
     Hayato               Iceman
     Jin Saotome          Juggernaut
     Morrigan             Magneto
     Ruby Heart           Marrow
     Ryu                  Shuma Gorath
     Sonson               Spider-Man
     Strider Hiryu        Venom
     Zangief              Wolverine

and 28 need to be unlocked:
          Capcom          Marvel
          ------          ------
Block 1:  Cammy           Omega Red
          Jill            Psylocke
          Sakura          Rogue
          Tron            Storm

Block 2:  Roll            War Machine
          Megaman         Wolverine (Admantium-less)

?:        Charlie         Blackheart
          Chun-Li         Colossus
          Dan             Iron Man
          Dhalsim         Sabertooth
          Ken             Silver Samurai
          M. Bison        Spiral

Block 4:  Felicia         Sentinel
          Kobun           Thanos

It seems like Capcom will give all 56 to both the DC and Naomi versions. You can 
try to make out the hidden characters during the intro for the game, which shows 
all the characters, or their outline if they are still hidden.

     A. How are the hidden characters unlocked?

     The US version is not using the VMU from the Dreamcast at all. I think 
their reasoning was that people will mess with it in the arcades here or that 
people won't really bother with it at all. The hidden characters are unlocked by 
Exp.(experience) points that is shown on the character selection screen and 
title screen. Each coin/token put into the machine gives you one experience 
point (this may vary depending on the operator's setting.) Points are also given 
in what seems like set time intervals (like every 10 hours the game is on, 100 
exp is added.) This is so that even a machine in a smaller place will eventually 
get the characters unlocked. Hitting the service trigger to cheat this system 
may not work as it stops counting after 9 credits. Every 400 exp raises the 
Lv.(level) by 1 and does something.

  Lv.1   400 Exp Marvel character gets unlocked
  Lv.2   800 Exp gold box around a random character
  Lv.3  1200 Exp gold box
  Lv.4  1600 Exp Capcom character gets unlocked
  Lv.5  2000 Exp gold box
  Lv.6  2400 Exp gold box
  Lv.7  2800 Exp Marvel character get unlocked
  Lv.8  3200 Exp gold box

So basically you get Marvel character, gold box, gold box, Capcom character, 
gold box, gold box, Marvel character, ect. There seems to be an order to the 
unlocking of characters. First the characters in block 1 are unlocked 
(alternating between Marvel and Capcom characters) and then 2 and so on. What I 
have listed for Block 1 and 2 are confirmed from various machine across the 
country. Block 4 is a guess from the DC version. The unlocked characters just 
become selectable on the selection screen without any notice or message.

     B. What does those gold boxes around the characters mean?

     The thing now is that we think the gold boxes mean that the character now 
has one or two more color that can be chosen (with the Assist buttons.) Whoopee! 
In other words, the gold boxes are generally useless.


3. What's changed?

     A lot...

     A. Attacks buttons

     Jab     Fierce    Assist 1 
      _         _         _
     (_)       (_)       (_)
      _         _         _
     (_)       (_)       (_)
    Short  Roundhouse  Assist 2

     The biggest change is the new setup of the buttons. If you don't know yet, 
the Strong and Forward buttons are gone and are now the Fierce and Roundhouse. 
In place of Fierce and Roundhouse are the assist button, Assist 1 and Assist 2. 
Most are guessing the main reason for this change was to conform to the standard 
Dreamcast controllers, which were horrid for playing MvC. Another reason may be 
that doing allowed for Capcom to put things into the game like Snapback and 
assist characters, without having players worry about hitting the wrong two 
buttons. The change isn't too bad, most players adapted after a few games.
     The Strong and Forward attacks can still be done, usually inside a combo. 
This is because the Jab and Short also double as Strong and Forward. Strider for 
example can hit Jab-Short-Jab-Short-Fierce-Roundhouse and the second time the 
Jab and Short are hit his Strong and Forward from MvC will come out. For a 
character like Ryu who had a Weak to Strong chain, pressing Jab-Short would 
result in a Jab-Forward coming out for him, because he can't chain a Short after 
his Jab. 
     So for most characters, doing the 'full' air combo would now require 
launching and then hitting Jab-Short-Jab-Short-Finisher.
     Some of those who have launchers that is either Strong or Forward can also 
do them by holding down-forward on the controller and hitting either Fierce or 
Roundhouse, depending on what your character has for a launcher. And if your 
character's old launcher was either a Strong or Forward like Zangief's then you 
done have to chain into their launcher.

     B. Assist Buttons
     Remember how in Marvel vs. Street Fighter you can call your partner to 
assist you with Strong + Forward? Well, that's what the main use of the Assist 
buttons are for. As you all should know by now, there are 3 characters on your 
team. After picking each of your character, you are given a choice of 3 assist 
types. Some of these are pretty obvious (Projectile type, Anti-Air type, Dash 
type, Heal type, ect.) Others such as Variety type, Expansion type and Balance 
type, are less descriptive in what they are (Expansion is 'movement' in the 
Japanese import.) After you pick them, you cannot change them until you lose and 
choose your team again. With the Assist buttons you call your first character 
under the main life bar out with Assist 1 and the bottom character with Assist 
2. This can be used at almost any time you can do a move except while you are 
Super Jumping. This mean you can do it while sitting back charging with Guile, 
while you are in the middle of a chain combo, anytime you can buffer into 
something, right as you are jumping at or over an opponent, ect. After using an 
Assist, you have to wait for the 'Assist OK' over the assist character you had 
just used to go away before calling another assist or switching out with that 
character. I don't think you can ever have all three characters on screen at the 
same time except during a Triple Hyper Combo. Using your assists characters is 
one of the key thing you most likely will have to be good at to be good at this 
game. Be careful though, your assist character seems to take extra damage when 
hit, but all done to them is red (aka recoverable) damage. But they cannot be 
thrown (or autocomboed?) I know Jill's Tyrant super fails after the initial hit, 
but Maximum Spider worked.
          a. Snapback
          QCF + Assist 1 or 2 will do your character's Snapback attack. You will 
have a light effect coming from you as you do a normal move. This uses up one 
super level and is a blockable attack that if connects will force your 
opponent's current character out and force in another character, depending on 
which Assist button you used (Assist 1 to force his middle character in, Assist 
2 to force his bottom character in.) The character forced out is also unusable 
for the opponent until the red 'X' over the life bar has gone away. Some 
characters can combo these in. These may also becoming important as we learn 
more about the game and may become one of the main ways to stop people from 
overusing their assist characters.
          b. Duo/Triple Hyper Combo
          Pressing both Assist 1 and Assist 2 may do either a super, duo super, 
or triple super. It will make use of as many characters and super meter as it 
can. If you have only 1 character left and 5 levels of meter you get a regular 
super since there are no more characters left to do more, if you have all three 
characters but only 1 level of super meter you still get a regular super because 
you don't have enough meter to do more. If you have 2 characters and 2 or more 
levels you'll get a Duo Super using 2 level of meter up. Having 3 characters and 
3 or more levels will allow you to do a Triple Super using 3 levels up. Doing 
these DO NOT switch your character out like it did in the previous versus games. 
These generally do not do enough damage to warrant the use of 3 levels, as you 
do not switch your character out. Also, the supers you do depend on which assist 
type you picked for your characters.

     C. How do you switch characters?
     Hitting Jab + Short will tag out your character and tag in you middle 
character. Hitting Fierce + Roundhouse will tag in your bottom character. 
Tagging in has been made fairer now. Where in MvC a blocked tag in usually meant 
eating a super and hitting with your tag in only resulted in a little damage 
done. Now if you hit with your opponent with a tag in, they get popped up 
allowing you to combo them. They can roll out once they hit the ground so it's 
best to hit them before then (duh.)
     To switch the starting character before a match, hold either Assist 1 to 
switch with your middle character or Assist 2 to switch with the bottom 
character when the screen showing you and your opponent's characters in a 
hexagon right before the match.
          a. Delayed Hyper Combo (DHC)
          I put this under here because this is probably the best way for you to 
tag in characters in this game. To do this, while you are doing a super (it can 
be anytime from when you start it until the background changes back to normal.) 
Let's say you have Ryu, Morrigan, and Captain Commando (in that order). Ryu does 
his super fireball, anytime during it you can do QCF+PP to have Morrigan jump in 
and do her Soul Eraser or QCF+KK to have her do her Darkness Illusion. There are 
a few things to consider here, first off, you most likely would want to wait as 
long as possible before canceling to get the most out of Ryu's super. Then 
depending on how far the opponent is from you the Darkness Illusion may or may 
not connect. But you may want the Darkness Illusion over the Soul Eraser because 
you can cancel into CapCom's Captain Sword while she has them up there or maybe 
you want to do a Captain Storm after a Soul Eraser (Note: I'm not sure if these 
would actually connect, this is just a scenario I made up.) Some of these DHC's 
do insane damage (I know Guile-Captain America-Gambit has one that does 70-80% 
and 99% on Akuma and Strider.) These will most likely replace the duo team 
beating from MvC as the cheapest way to do damage. You can only do up to 3 super 
this way and Level 3 supers are included (this is probably why 5 levels of super 
is the max.) The last character doing this stays in.
          b. Crossover Counters (b, db, d + Assist 1 or 2)
          Another relatively safe way to switch your character. Works the same 
as previous, while blocking an attack do the motion (the assist button you use 
determines who comes out, Assist 1 for your middle character and Assist 2 for 
your bottom character) and you character will tag out and your partner will come 
and do an attack.

     D. Misc.
     Super canceling from the PSX EX games are now doable. Just do a special 
move and before the character recovers do that character's super. Push blocking 
is now done with the 2 Punch buttons and Super Jumping can be done with the 2 
Kick buttons. There is no Easy Mode to pick from anymore (or at least the 
default settings don't have it.) Throws are harder to do off someone's jump-in 
attack. The announcer is very reminiscent of the Alpha 3 announcer. The music 
for the game is jazzy, elevator music sounding. The backgrounds are awesome, too 
bad it only make the characters look so much worse in comparison. You play 7 
stages against the computer before reaching Abyss. There is only one universal 
ending for all characters. There are also no win quotes or pose points. The 
computer will use the hidden characters once they are unlocked, but not before.

        Supers:
           Shokubutsu no Okite (Law of Vegetation): QCB + PP
           Taiyou no Megumi (Sun's Blessing): QCF + KK
        Assists:
           A-Heal Type: he grows a vegetable, slow / Taiyou no Megumi
           B-Enhance Type: Defense Up plant / Taiyou no Megumi
           C-Balance Type: Midori no Kanki / Taiyou no Megumi
        Launcher: C.Strong and C.Forward

        Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
        Air Chain:
        Super Jump Chain: Hunter
        Colors (Hat/Pants):
           Jab: Blue/Yellow      Fierce: Red/Blue       A1: Purple/Yellow
           Short: Purple/Brown   Roundhouse: Blue/Red   A2: Red/Yellow
     His beanstalk super connects after his launchers. His maraca super seems 
useless for now as it does little damage and is blockable and kind of slow. He 
drops a plant on the ground and it goes across the screen. Supposedly if mashed 
right, it does a lot of damage. His normals are good as they have good range and 
hit multiple times.


        b. Anakaris
        Moves:
           Coffin Fall: d, d + P or K (air)
           Cobra Blow: b, f + P (air)
           Mummy Drop: QCF + P (air)
           Royal Curse: QCF + K in air
        Supers:
           Pharaoh Magic: Roundhouse, Jab, d, Short, Fierce
           Pharaoh Coffin Fall: d, d + PP
           Pharaoh Illusion: Jab, Jab, f, Short, Fierce
           Pharaoh Cobra Blow: b, f + PP
        Assists:
           A-Ground Type: Cobra Blow / Pharaoh Cobra Blow
           B-Throw Type: Mummy Drop / Pharaoh Illusion
           C-Variety Type: Coffin Fall / Pharaoh Magic
        Launcher: C.Fierce
        Snapback: S.Fierce
        Colors:
           Jab: Yellow/Blue   Fierce: Green            A1: Brown
           Short: Pink/Red    Roundhouse: Red/Yellow   A2: Monochrome
     Still have not gotten the hang of this guy. His Pharaoh Coffin Fall seems 
useless and his Pharaoh Cobra Blow seems blockable even after the opponent gets 
hit by the first wave of attack (it hurts assist characters when mashed though.) 
I read somewhere that timing the button presses is key to getting the most of 
out this super. His Pharaoh Illusion causes him to go into the background and 
you control his hands by using the attack buttons. Jab make the left hand hit 
sideways, Fierce makes the right hand hit sideways, Short makes the left hand 
hit downward and Roundhouse makes the right hand hit downward. You can still be 
hit while in this super. Weird character when compared to the rest of the cast.


        c. B.B. Hood
        Moves:
           Smiling Missile: Charge b, f + P or K
           Happy Missile: Charge d, u + P or K
           Shy Strike: QCB + P
           Cheer of Fire: DP + P (air)
        Supers:
           Cruel Hunting: QCF + PP
           Beautiful Memory: HCF + KK
           Apple For You: HCB + KK

           B-Anti-Air Type: Cheer of Fire / Cruel Hunting
           C-Variety Type: Shy Strike / Cruel Hunting
        Launcher: S.Forward
        Snapback: f, f + Fierce
        Ground Chain: Hunter
        Air Chain: 
        Super Jump Chain: Hunter
        Colors:
           Jab: Red      Fierce: Purple      A1: Dk. Blue
           Short: Blue   Roundhouse: White   A2: Black
     She can double jump. Her Cruel Hunting does massive block damage. Fierce is 
good for jumping in on and her Roundhouse attacks are landmines that have good 
range and knocks the opponent away. Not sure if she's better as a keep away 
character or offensive character.


        d. Cable
        Moves:
           Viper Beam: QCF + P (air)
           Psimitar: DP + P
           Electro Trap: QCB + K (air)
           Psy Charge: HCB + P
           (rush punch): QCF + K
        Supers:
           Hyper Viper Beam: QCF + PP
           Time Flip: QCF + KK (can hit opponent while clone attacks)
        Assists:
           A-Projectile Type: Viper Beam / Hyper Viper Beam
           B-Anti-Air Type: Psimitar / Hyper Viper Beam
           C-Variety Type: Electro Trap / Hyper Viper Beam
        Launcher: S.Strong
        Snapback: S.Roundhouse
        Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
        Air Chain: 
        Super Jump Chain: Hunter
        Colors:
           Jab: Blue       Fierce: Lt. Green   A1: Dk. Green
           Short: Purple   Roundhouse: Olive   A2: Dk. Blue
     Primary a keep away character thanks to the long recovery after his 
projectile attacks. His Fierce make him shoot his gun, which can be canceled 
into Viper Beam, which if hits can be super canceled into his Hyper Viper Beam 
for insane damage.


        e. Felicia
        Moves:

        f. Guile
        Moves:
           Sonic Boom: Charge b, f + P
           Somersault Kick: Charge d, u + K (Air d, u + K)
        Supers:
           Sonic Hurricane: QCF + PP
           Somersault Strike: QCB + KK
           Crossfire Blitz: Air, QCF + KK
        Assists:
           A-Anti-Air Type: Somersault Kick / Somersault Strike
           B-Projectile Type: Sonic Boom / Sonic Hurricane
           C-Balance Type: Sonic Boom / Sonic Hurricane

           Short: Purple      Roundhouse: Brown   A2: Purple w/tan
     All of Guile's super can be cancel into. On the ground you can chain 
anything into S.Fierce or S.Roundhouse into either super, preferably Sonic 
Hurricane. For his air combo he can connect with all 6 hits or can go into his 
air super. I use to do it after a Jab-Short-Strong-Forward chain, but it being 
blocked 25% of the time and he being open afterwards I just try do finish the 
chain which does almost the same damage and leads to an OTG in the corner. He 
can OTG after his Roundhouse air throw. His Somersault Kick, if blocked usually 
knocks the opponent too far away for them to hit him before he recovers. By far 
one of the better characters in the game so far.


        g. Hayato

     Think Strider mixed with Ryu. Not too great as his moves have enough 
recovery time for opponent to counter. Decent reach thanks to his sword. Plasma 
Field makes him turns bluish for a limited time and it gives him the ability to 
use supers without using meter when the bubble hits the opponent. This can be 
comboed in after his air combo-Guren. He can even do his Level 3 with less than 
3 levels while it is in effect. There are variations of his Plasma Combo (b + 
Jab, Jab, Fierce, Roundhouse, Jab, Jab); (b + Fierce, Jab, Fierce, Jab, Fierce.)

     Mostly a pixie character though you can kind of set up a Captain Commando-
like keep away game with her 'helpers.' She can combo into her charging super 
very easily on the ground and in the air after most moves. She has no limit on 
how many 'helper' attackers are on screen, so if you want she can have the dog, 
bird, a zombie, and an assist character onscreen at the same time. Her Grenade 
Launcher isn't much of a projectile and is more so anti-air. Her Rocket Launcher 
works kind of like Proton Cannon where if it hits as she brings it out, it'll 
connect fully, otherwise it is very avoidable (she even falls back afterwards 
like Chun-Li does in Pocket Fighter.) Her Tyrant super is insanely hard to hit 
with as you have to have the opponent the right distance from you, on or very 
close to the ground and not blocking. Right afterwards, you can do her Rocket 
Launcher to hit Tyrant into the opponent for a little more damage. Her zombies 
along with her animal attacks can be hit down, in fact you, your animal, and 
your assist character can knock your zombie over and it'll stay on the ground 
for a bit grabbing the opponent if they get near just like they do in the 
ResEvil series. Her zombies come in from behind you and keep moving forward 
really slowly. She can OTG after her Roundhouse either into Close Combat A or 
Short-C.Fierce-AC. Her Fierce Close Combat A can be charged much like Megaman's 
Mega Buster. Not really worth it as she loses her launcher and gets more 
recovery after the move. Holding down the button after the Grenade Launcher 
increases the range of it.

     Wow, and you thought Roll was small. It is not as small as it looks as some 
moves that looks like it should miss, don't on it. Almost no range what-so-ever 
on most attacks. What Kobun does for his Lunch Rush depends on what his assist 
is.

     Her Schwarzalle and Hyper Schwarzalle can be redirected with a direction + 
P (up to 2 times for regular and I think 5 times for super.) Try to control it 
so you land safely. Her Tooru Do Maji is when she drops a barrel on you. It 
seems to be 'timing' super where you have to hit the right buttons at the right 
time to get the max damage out of it.

     Money King super can do a lot of block damage with her fire breath. The 
stick super will hit the opponent with the stick on the way up. POW, well, it 
can be use against jump-ins but is risky otherwise very hard to connect and does 
too little damage.

     Her Command Shot is slow in coming out and if it hits, holds the opponent 
in place for a bit. Lunch Rush works kind of like Command Shot where she shoots 
the opponent to lock them in place for the rush. If you have the Lunch Rush as 
you team super, do it by doing a team super (Assist 1 + Assist 2) instead of QCF 
+ PP, because the serve bots will come out even if you don't hit the opponent 
with the gun. A lot of her normals are like Jin's where they seem like special 
moves.

     Pretty much can be played the same as his MvC counterpart except for losing 
the S.Strong as anti-air. No ground level Shield Slash, Jab version goes strait 
ahead. His Jabx3 -> double jump air combo is still there; just that you have to 
time it now or else his Strong comes out. Still has Short-Forward-Hyper Stars 
and Stripes. His Dash Type assist is great in countering beam traps.

     He did not lose his Hoover/Baby helper. It can be done with QCF + Short + 
Fierce. Seems to play the same but it looks like he is easier to get in on now 
that you can abuse assist characters. S.Roundhouse into Captain Sword still 
works along with Captain Storm into Captain Sword.

     He's much improved over his MvSF counterpart; Mega Optic Blast does great 
block damage again and can be done in air now. Supposedly another good character 
because of keep away game with assists and his J.Roundhouse. Iceman kills him, 
as Iceman takes no block damage from most of his attacks.

     No block damage from most 'energy' projectile attacks, another insane keep 
away game (starting to see pattern here?), and a fast dash is making him one of 
the best characters so far. He only seems to have one super, Arctic Attack (QCF

very good assist as it nullifies any of you opponent's and their assist's 
projectiles. I have no idea what doing Ice Fist adds to you.

     He is better because his air Roundhouse drill attack hit more times making

Blodia Punch is still there but is harder to connect.

     He still has the Coil that goes upwards. It can be done like Captain 
Commando's Hoover which requires two button. Life absorb coil still gives you 
back more life than you have in red, but it is really little. His supers have 
been changed in their motion to QCB + PP for both. QCF + PP gives you the coil 
that goes upward. The same applies for his kick attack; QCF + KK goes upward.

     From those who used her in MSH, they say she is a lot faster. Dash in with 
her C.Short. That move has insane range and priority. She can do the full Hunter 
series into her C.Fierce launcher on almost everybody. The better players here 
have been super canceling her Psi Blade into her Kochou Gakure to finish her air

     No longer does the opponent's move when she absorbs their powers. She now 
gets enhancements, such as Power-up from Juggernaut and Hulk, or Speed-up from

     Shuriken is controllable with u and d on the controller. The Triple 
Shuriken chips for good damage. Lightning gives him more speed and allows him to 
do the Triple Shuriken in the air. Fire gives him more power and QCB + KK will 
do a fire column. Ice gives him armor and QCB + KK will do a ground ice super 
which has to be blocked low.

     Ohh, let's see... now that the Strong and Forward buttons are gone, he can 
no longer poke with those. His S.Fierce and S.Roundhouse now knocks the enemy up 
a bit and away so his Roundhouse no longer connects afterwards. His Ouroboros 
does not last as long and you cannot do a super while in it, except maybe DHC 
during the start-up, which is mostly a waste. He has a lot more recovery after 
Legion. One can now easily Super Jump over the whole thing and land behind him 
with time to hit him. A lot of people say that his assists all suck, but someone 
here manage to do well with his teleport kick assist, just make sure you keep 
his ass covered afterwards cause he take damage like Akuma.

     Ouch, he has lost a lot. He is slower, his Drill Claw is slower, it is much 
harder to combo into his supers (Jab-Short-Strong-BBX seems to be it for now), 
his dive kick no longer cancels into Roundhouse nor another divekick. He can 
still pressure, but the rewards are not as high anymore and with assist

     He no longer has his Triple Option. If you don't know what that is then you 
shouldn't be using him in the first place. His old Strong throw is now a command 
motion (QCB + Jab.) But missing it means getting his Elbow Drop. His Spinning 
Piledriver does a lot more damage, about 20-30%, but with a game full of 
unlimited helpers that cannot be thrown, he is gonna have a hard time getting in 
to do it. When he is in his Iron Body mode, he is much quicker now. And his 
Hyper Lariat that he does during team supers is doable. Just press both Assist 
buttons when you only have 1 level of super meter or when he is the last 
character.

C. Abyss
     From what I can remember, he is one of the sons of Apocalypse and appeared 
during the War of the Gems saga. The boss of the game now comes in 3 forms and 
each has hyper armor. His first form is kind of like Onslaught's first form but 
much slower and telegraphs his attacks. He has moves like Onslaught (the charge, 
the beam) and a hail storm-like attack. After he is defeated, he melts into a 
small green thing which mostly uses projectile attacks and will catch you off 
guard once in a while as you attack him. His third form is kind of like a huge 
Venom as he does his Venom Fang and creepy as he is the stage and will keep 
going offscreen. The black ball floating around is hittable. This form is easy 
if you have a super that hit a lot and can connect with it.
