---Other Things You Need to Know:
To perform a Super Move, your character's life bar must be flashing red.
To perform a Super 2 Move, your character's name must flash green and white and your life bar must be flashing red. Super 2 Moves do more damage than Super Moves. Super 2's can only be used once per round. See "Tricks" section below to learn how to activate the Super 2's.
The playing field is made of three levels: the background, foreground, and the center (where game play starts). Dodging causes your character to move into either the foreground or background. When two characters are in different levels they may not hit each other with normal attacks or special attacks. However, some Supers hit in all three levels. You can dash when in the background or foreground but not jump or duck. Hitting any single button when in the background or foreground will cause your character to jump back to the center and attack as usual. You will automatically jump back to the center after a few seconds standing in the background or foreground.
Not all attacks can be blocked in the air. Projectiles, jumping attacks, and basic attacks can be air blocked. Special moves that aren't projectiles, Supers, and Super 2's cannot be air blocked.
Moves that cause the opponent to be knocked into the background or foreground (listed in the moves section below) will cause the opponent to go flying into the scenery or screen if the attack finishes them. Moves that knock the opponent into the foreground send them flying toward the screen while screaming. Moves that knock the opponent into the background will cause the opponent to hit items in the background such as the tree trunk in Joe's stage or the fish tank in Mai's stage (leaving a large crack in the glass) or the opponent may fall into the ponds, lakes, and pools in some of the stages causing a large splash.
"Fake" moves are used to trick the opponent into thinking that an attack is about to happen. When a fake move is performed, the character will begin the motion for the regular attack and immediately stop and return to a fighting stance just before the move would actually happen. For instance, Terry's fake Power Wave causes him to scream "POWER!" and lift his fist for the attack but he will stop just before he would say "WAVE!" and stand up ready to fight.
While jumping you can attack multiple times. If you are fast enough you can attack with each button all in one jump.
Throws are UNBLOCKABLE and cannot be escaped.
Note: throws that are character specific special moves are blockable unless otherwise labeled.
If your character becomes stunned (stands on screen while you have no control over them) from taking too many hits then you may shake the joystick rapidly and tap all the buttons rapidly to recover from the stun quickly.
Characters that have throw combos (moves that are performed after grabbing an opponent with another throw) can be escaped by pressing the same button as the attacker does to activate the throw just after they press the button. If your opponent grabbed you with a F+HK throw then tapped HK to activate a throw combo, you can escape the throw by pressing HK just after they pressed it the second time.
Combo Techniques cannot be blocked or countered if the first hit is not blocked. Once the first hit lands, the opponent won't be able to stop the attack. The button taps for combos must be very quick and precise. Combos should be performed when very close to your opponent unless otherwise listed in the moves section below.
Most special moves and Power Moves will cause your opponent to take a little bit of damage if they block.
When two projectiles meet they cancel each other. The button used to throw a projectile doesn't matter when projectiles hit each other; a projectile thrown with QCF+WP will cancel a projectile thrown with QCF+HP. Power Moves that create projectiles will also cancel special move projectiles and continue to travel across the screen. Some other special moves and Power Moves will cancel projectiles.
The A button is a weak punch and the C button is a hard punch. The same applies to the B button being a weak kick and the D button being a hard kick. Weak attacks are faster and cause a little damage whereas hard attacks are slower and cause much more damage. The same is true for a special move performed with the different buttons. A fireball attack performed with QCF+A is less damaging, may go only a short distance across the screen, but will be performed quickly leaving your character less vulnerable to attack. A fireball attack performed with QCF+C is more damaging, goes farther across the screen, but takes longer for your character to recover from performing the attack leaving you open to a counter attack from your opponent. This doesn't apply to all special moves, but this is the general concept.

---Tricks and Codes:
---Activate Super 2 Moves:
In order to be able to perform a Super 2 move you must first unlock them. At the "GO!" graphic when you start a fight, press and hold these buttons: A+B+C+D+Start, (for CD-ROM, use A+C+D+Start buttons). If you did it right then your name should turn green, but even if it didn't change color it still may have been activated. Once you have activated the Super 2's once it will remain on until your game ends.
---Fight Jin Chon Shu:
To fight against Jin Chon Shu, defeat the entire game without continuing. You will face him in a special match after defeating the final bosses.
