Switch characters during match
 
 Use the following to switch between characters in the middle of 
 the game. For example if you choose Cable, Ryu, then Ken, but later 
 in the second stage you want Ryu to appear first -- hold L1 for 
 the second character and R1 for the third character at the versus 
 screen.
 
 Change team order
 
 The order of your fighters will appear before a versus match, with 
 "1", "2", or "3". You can select the first and second fighters of 
 your team, and thus change the entire team order. To select the 
 first fighter, press LP + LK for the character marked "1", MP + 
 MK for the character marked ''2'', or HP + HK for the character 
 marked ''3''. Then, press the same button combos to select the second 
 fighter. Press Start to continue.
 
 Multiple character selection
 
 Unlock every costume and character to chose multiple people. For 
 example, player one could chose three Charlie's and the other player 
 could also chose three Charlie's.
 
 Cheaper hidden fighters
 
 Exit and enter the shop screen until the price of the hidden fighters 
 are lower.
 
 Change clock in background
 
 To change the time of the clock in the background of the clock level, 
 simply change the PlayStation 2's system time.
 
 Continue attacking
 
 Press Start immediately after winning the match to move almost everywhere 
 and have the ability to continue hitting the defeated character.
 
 
 114-hit combo
 
 Select Gambit, Iron Man, and War Machine, then get a level 3 hyper 
 combo gauge and do all their hyper combos (L1 + R1). It should do 
 a 114-hit combo. If not, try starting the Hyper Combo with another 
 person.
 
 Infinite chain supers
 
 Note: This trick only works in training mode. Set the combo gauge 
 to infinity in the training menu. Then, start a super and start 
 another one. This can be done an unlimited amount of times. This 
 works best with characters who have beam supers.
 
 Easy special
 
 When your special meter is at 3 or higher, press L1 + R1 to do any 
 character's special.
 
 90% damage
 
 Choose Iron Man, War Machine, and Cable as your team, and make sure 
 you choose projectile as their ability. Charge your super meter 
 higher then 3, and press L1 + R1 (default for partner A and B actions). 
 The result should be all three of your team members will use their 
 projectile super move, which will take care of the opposition provided 
 they do not block. Note: An advanced part of this trick is to wait 
 until your opponent uses his partner in battle, then use the attack. 
 The result is devastating.
 
 Abyss' first stage
 
 Defeat Abyss with any time limit in arcade and score attack modes. 
 His first stage will be unlocked in training and versus modes.
 
 Defeating Abyss
 
 To defeat Abyss in his second form, choose Cable. Keep shooting 
 Abyss with the pistol and keep shooting till you have level 1 on 
 the gauge. Execute Cable's Hyper Viper Combo. This should kill him 
 -- if not keep repeating this pattern. The works if you are fast 
 enough to kill him while he performs his short range attacks.
 
 Choose Megaman, Cable, and Cyclops. Play under the easy or medium 
 difficulty setting. At Abyss, use Megaman then jump behind him and 
 shoot. During his second form, use Megaman and continue shooting 
 at him. You should have a level three power bar by now. At Abyss' 
 third form, wait. He always dives down before attacking. When he 
 reappears, do a Triple Hyper combo. If the game is set on very easy 
 and high damage, Abyss should die in one hit.
 
 Easy points
 
 You can get ten points a minute if you go to training mode, choose 
 a character and opponent, then leave the game on for about five 
 hours. Note: Do not pause the game.
 
 Plug in a second controller, go to options, change the time to 30 
 seconds, and turn up the damage. Go to versus mode, turn the handicap 
 down on controller two, and fight. You will get 100 points for each 
 match.
 
 To get easy points in arcade mode, fight up to Abyss in any difficulty 
 on high damage. Your best difficulty setting is recommended. Once 
 at Abyss, intentionally die on purpose multiple times. Continue, 
 then die again. You will get 100 points every time a continue is 
 used. When you finally choose to defeat Abyss, you will also get 
 50 points times the difficulty setting.
 
 Enter the options screen. Select "Game Option" and set your difficulty 
 bar high, choose the Turbo 2 speed, and have unlimited time. Put 
 the damage bar on high. Go to arcade mode and choose any character 
 with Cable (for example, War Machine, B.B. Hood, and Cable). When 
 you begin at the first stage, make sure Cable's out first. Keep 
 shooting with the pistol until your third opponent's life bar is 
 half full. At this time your level gauge should be past 3. Use it 
 at the correct moment and you will see more than 80 hit(s), plus 
 the Perfect. You now have more than 300,000,000 points. Repeat this 
 for the rest of the game .When you get to Abyss, be sure not to 
 have him defeat one of your characters. Just keep shooting Cable's 
 pistol until you get to his last form. On his final form, when Abyss 
 shows up again, make sure your level gauge is at 3 or more to blast 
 away.
 
 One hit kill
 
 Choose Juggernaut, Iron Man, and BB Hood (in that order). Put them 
 all on their recommended assist types. Get 3 Hyper Combo bars and 
 link them all together (L1=R1). It should kill the opponent in one 
 hit. This move was tested on Cable, a medium damage taker.
 
 Choose Juggernaut, Incredible Hulk, and Zangeif. When at level 3, 
 let Juggernaut be your active character, get very close, and press 
 L1 + R1 to make them all do their hyper combos. This will instantly 
 kill your opponent's character. Note: This attack best works when 
 your opponent is in a corner.
 
Save Points:
This is a handy tip for saving more points so you can unlock more stuff: If you go 
into the shop and he costs 2,000 points, simply exit the shop and re-enter, if you 
see Mega Man again, he could be reduced to as much as 500 points. 

In-game reset:
Press Start + Select during game play. 

Evil Sakura and Zhangfei:
Press Down, Down/Left, Left, Back, LK. They will have the same moves plus extra. 
For example, if you do Sakura's first special, instead of her doing her combo she 
will do a special beam like Ryu. 

Akuma: Demon Rage:
When at level 3, press LP(2), Right, LK, HP. This is a technical move.

Cable: Defeating Son Son:
Select Cable. When Son Son does her super into a big monkey, quickly do Cable's 
Hyper Viper on her. It will do 50% to 75% damage. 

Dan: Super Taunt:
Note: This takes one level of your HC Gauge. While holding LK, perform two 
quarter circles Forward, then press Start. It does no damage, but is funny to 
watch. It is basically two and a quarter circles and the Taunt button.

Dhalsim: Control Yoga Flame:
Choose Dhalsim and any other two characters. Get the H.C. meter gauge higher 
then level 1, then do Dhalsim's Yoga Flame. You can change direction of the flame 
by pressing Up or Down.

Hayato: Profile:
Hayato's plasma combo variations make him a strong combo player, but most 
special moves lack quick recovery time and leave him wide open for an opponent 
to counter. Hayato's sword gives him decent reach, but only an above -average to 
expert player should select him up for assist type -- use his expansion type. 

Hayato: Combos: 
Thirteen-Hit Plasma -Sword Combo: Get your hyper gauge to level one. Jump in 
deep, press LP, while still in the air press LK,LP, LK, HP, Down, Down/Right, HP, 
Down, Down/Right [LP, HP] for seven hits. 

Dark Knight: Get your special bar up to three, then press LP, HP, Back, LK, HK 
quickly. Do this when no more than half a screen away from your opponent. This 
special can take up to one half life alone. 

Hayato has three basic combo skills that can be used in the game. No combo 
gauges will be used when the skills are used. Either press Left, LP, LP, LP, LP; or 
Left, LP, LP, LP, HK, LP, LP; or Left, HP, LP, HP, HP, HP. 

Marrow: Break the camera:
Have Marrow use the Bone Burst Hyper Combo as the finishing move for the last 
of the three opponents. She will throw one of her bones at the screen, breaking 
the camera.

San San: One hit kill on Spider-Man: 
Use San San's Eating special and have the damage on high. Spider-Man can be 
defeated with one special. 

Tyrant: Blow him up:
Send out the Tyrant. After he is done with his combo and starts yelling, press the 
combo for her rocket launcher and he will explode. 

Wolverine: Longer Berserker Claw: 
When playing as Wolverine and you are about to yse Berserker Claw, execute it 
with HP and tap it repeatedly. Note: The attack will not work every time you 
execute a Berserker Claw in fight. After doing a Berserker Claw, wait awhile, then 
do it again. It will not work two times in a row.

Stronger combos:
While Team Hyper Combos are easy and powerful, delayed combos are at most 
times much more powerful, though they are much more difficult due to timing it to 
where you get the maximum power. For example, with Megaman, War Machine, 
and Iron Man, if you do their team combo it will do about a 40 to 60 hit combo; On 
the other hand, if you do each of their combos delayed and execute it correctly, 
you should be able to get from 75 to over 100 hits with one solid shot. In order to 
do a delayed Hyper Combo, have your first character do their combo. Then as 
they are doing the Hyper Combo execute your next character's Hyper Combo. 
Then while that one is executing, use your third character's Hyper Combo. It is all 
about timing and may require some practice.

Over 80-hit combo:
Select Cable, B.B.Hood, and War Machine. Use all their specials at once and it may 
do 80 to 184 hits.

Over 86-hit combo:
Choose Tronne Bonne, Servbot, and Guile. Have level a 3 meter and have Guile in 
play. Press L1 + L2 to do a combo doing 86 to 160 hits.

110-hit combo:
At the character selection screen, choose Cable, Gambit, and B.B Hood. You will 
have to unlock B.B Hood and Gambit by buying them in the Secret Factor. During 
arcade mode, get up to at least to level 3 or higher. When you do, press L1 + L2 
and all three of them will do their Hyper Combo specials. This combo will do at 
least 110 hits and a lot of damage. It works better when you are close to your 
opponent. 

115-hit combo:
Select Cable, T. Bonne, and Chalsm (in that order), then get the level gauge up to 
at least 3. Press L1 + L2 to do a hyper combo and will unleash a powerful blow. 
Note: Try to keep the enemy on the ground. Also, this will not work every time. It 
will happen about half of the time.

126-hit combo:
Select War Machine, Iron Man, and B.B. Hood, then get at least a level 3 gauge. 
Press L1 + L2 to do a hyper combo and will unleash a powerful blast. Also, try to 
keep the enemy on the ground. The combo should do at least 126 and sometimes 
up to 140 hits.

200-hit combo:
Choose Cable, Iron Man, and B.B. Hood and get your level 3 hyper combo (usually 
with punches in the air). Wait until your opponent gets a striker out, then press L1 
+ L2. The combo should do at least 150-220 hits.

Unlimited chain supers:
Note: This trick only works in training mode. Set the combo gauge to infinity in the 
training menu. Then, start a super and start another one. This can be done an 
unlimited amount of times. This works best with characters who have beam 
supers. 

Easy special:
When your special meter is at 3 or higher, press L1 + R1 to do any character's 
special. 

50%-65% damage:
Chose Ryu, Captain Commando, and War Machine (recommended in that 
order).Wait until you get three levels in your Hyper Gauge, then let lose your 
hyper combos with L1 + L2 (or L1 + R1).

95% damage:
Depending on the damage level, the following trick may also result in a one hit kill. If set on 3 or maximum, it will result in a one hit kill. If set on 2, it will be a 95% damage attack. Choose Spiral, Hayato, and Silver Samurai. Get to level 3 or more to use the hyper combo for all of them (L1 + R1). Have Spiral out first, then get 3 or maximum level. Yse the hyper combo and they all should come out and do their moves. Hayato should do the attack where he hits the ground and energy beams appear. Spiral should do the attack where she changes into every character and hits the opponent. Then, Silver Samurai should appear and slash at the opponent.

Hint: 90%-100% damage:
This trick works well on Abyss. Select Cabal, Wolverine, And Megaman, in any 
order. Wolverine usually works best first. Use Berserker Barrage to take out the 
first form quickly, then Cabal to waste the second form -- just keep shooting. Use 
the recommended assist types. By the time the third form appears, use your level 
3 plus Hyper Combo (L1 + L2 type), and the result will kill or be very close to 
killing anyone. 

Take turns using special:
Choose any three desired characters. When your gauge meter is at level 3 or 
more, make sure your first character is out. Let your first character use their 
special. It is usually Down, Down/Right, Right, R1. In the middle of your first 
character's special, press the same buttons to do another special. The first 
character will leave, and your second character will come out and do their special 
in the same combo. Press the special buttons again, and your second character 
will leave, and your third character will come out and do their special in the same 
combo. You may not get as many hits as bringing all three of them out, but it looks 
better.

Breaking the house in the clock tower stage:
In the clock tower stage, use Spider-Man's special of flying kicks and punches 
when the opponent has low life so when he dies he can break the house. Note: You 
have to make sure that Spider-Man pushes him to the right. 

You can also break the house in the clock tower stage with Juggernaut using his 
Juggernaut Punch. You must push your enemy to the right when the enemy has 
little life remaining. 

Defeating blocking opponents:
Select Cable as your first character with Dr. Doom with Anti-Air Assist as your 
partner. Keep using Cable's Pistol and Dr. Doom's Assist move at the same time. 
Your opponent's life gauge will decrease.
