Game overview SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters 2 Expand Edition, which we will now refer to as CFC2, is the sequel to the quite popular SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters Clash which was released in 1999 by SNK. The game's principle is very similar to Magic The Gathering, where two players compete with each their own, carefully prepared, card decks. The winner of the match gets some of his opponent's deck cards. SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters Clash was released in 4 versions. Japan got a Capcom and a SNK version, both entirely in Japanese (no English option), while the US got a Capcom and a SNK version too, but fully translated into English. The two cartdriges are essentially the same, the differences being minor, color of the background, characters impersonated and exclusive cards (some cards could only be won on the Capcom version, and some only on the SNK one). CFC2 though, has only got one version, entirely written in Japanese, and no English version is planned, ever. The differences between CFC2 and the original games are numerous: - 124 additional cards - New Reaction Cards (there were only Character and Ability cards in CFC) - All the character cards from CFC1 have been redrawn, usually for the best - Game has been balanced from the first version - New slick interface and extra animations during card battles - Connectible with Capcom vs SNK 2 for Dreamcast SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters 2 Expand Edition For NeoGeo Pocket Color, published by SNK Released on September 13th 2001 for Y4500 Japan orders made through SNK's site (http://www.neogeo.co.jp) got a collector phone calling card along with the game. ===== 2. FAQ Introduction This FAQ is aiming at the few occidental players of CFC2, we will do our best to make it as exhausitve as possible, but if you know something that we did not mention, even the slightest detail, please contact us so that we can add your accredited contribution to this FAQ. If we work together, this could definitely become a document of reference. This work started as the merging of Z-Force's and The Lemming's CFC2 FAQ. a. Places to find this FAQ http://www.gamefaqs.com http://www.thelemmings.net http://www.classicgaming.com/sngp ===== 3. Game Basics A CF match has 2 opponents facing each other, each with their own card deck. Each player has both HP (hit points, life), and SP (special points, ability) points. The number of HPs with which you start a match depends on the match you are playing. Normal matches start at 2000 HP, while tournament matches often start at 3000 HP*. The goal of the game is to knock your opponent down to zero HP. This is more complex than it sounds, but first we'll look at basic mechanics. The game is played by turn, at each turn a player can put down one card and use as many card abilities (which consume SP) they want. At the end of your turn you can attack your opponent with card(s) that you have put down, but you can not put down and attack with the same card in one single turn. *In VS mode (2 NGPCs and a link cable) you can set the number of HP with which every player starts. There is also a 'autobalance' option which analyzes the players' decks and set the HP accordingly (the better the deck, the less HP) -- Note: Most of this section was ripped off of Z-Force's -- -- original Card Fighters Clash FAQ, except for the Reaction -- -- cards section -- a. Your turn 1. Cancel freeze phase: Any characters of yours that are in freeze phase (see below) will be put back into regular phase. 2. Draw a card: You must draw a card from your deck. If you don't have anymore cards to draw, you lose the match. 3. Main Phase: You can do any of these things during your turn, in any order i. Put a character in play: You can bring one player out during this turn, unless you already have 3 in play. Characters just put out cannot attack, or use their abilities on their first turn. You gain the SP listed on the card when you play it. Cards with a triangle ability use their ability ONLY at the moment they are put down. ii. Play a character for Back-up: You can play a back-up character if you have one. You may play a character into the ring and play a backup character on the same turn. iii. Use Action Cards: You may use as many Action Cards as you want, as long as you have the SP to play them. iv. Use an ability: If you have a character with an SQUARE ability, you may use it, however, it uses up SP and also freezes your character. 4. You may attack with one or more of your characters. Attacking puts the character in freeze phase. More info on attacking in the strategies section. 5. After attacking, it is up to your opponent to play. b. Commands Translations For those familiar with CFC1, there are no big differences in CFC2. On your turn you will be presented with a 6 choices menu on the lower part of your screen +-----------+ |888 X X X | |888 | |888 X X X | +-----------+ |(1) (2) (3)| |(4) (5) (6)| +-----------+ (1)Hand: Play a card from your hand. You may either look at the card or play it. Both Action and Character cards are brought out in this way. By pressing the OPTION button you can sort the cards in your hand by No, BP, SP, Ability, and Rarity. This sorting also works in the Card Album menus. (2)Search: Check out cards in play. You may look at cards in the ring, or also cards discarded by you and your opponent, and also the number of cards in you and your opponent's hand and/or piles. (3) Info: A help screen if you will. Shows the definition of any of the terms you want. (4)Attack: Attack with one or more cards. This ends your turn and puts any characters who attack in freeze phase. (5)Ability:Use the SQUARE ability of one of your characters. This puts your character in freeze phase (6)End: Ends your turn. By pression the OPTION button while in this menu, you can choose which battle animation ("Battle Anime") you desire. The left option is for lengthy full screen card fights, while the option on the right is for onboard, small card battles (in case you're in a hurry). c. Abilities You have 3 kinds of abilities, they are as follows. SQUARE ability These abilities have to be selected to be used. They put the character in a freeze phase and also use up your SP in many cases. (Example: Ryu) TRIANGLE ability These abilities are used as soon as the character is brought into play. (Example: Leona) CIRCLE ability These abilities are used as long as the character is in play. (Example: Ken) d. Backing up You may play certain cards on anyone character to back them up. This eliminates the character cards used to assist, but increases the character being backed up by 300 BP. This is useful in certain situations. Some things to keep in mind: The character receiving backup does not enter the freeze phase and can still be used to attack that turn. Also, you do not gain SP when backing up. Characters that have a ? listed as one of their backups can be backed up with a specific character from the other company (example: an SNK character with 2 ? can be backed up by 2 Capcom characters) New to CFC2, in the statistics screen there is a percentage counter which allows you to keep track of how many backups you have made, out of the 804 possible backups. When trying to find new backups, you can show Zet a card once you've cleared the game. He will hint you (in Japanese) about the connection between the different backups. For example if you show him John Crawley (S026) Zet will tell you "something related with planes", so a good guess would be Guille/Nash or eventually Falcon. Of course he hints you on the opposite company's corresponding backups (for John which is a SNK card, he hinted you for the Capcom cards) e. Getting cards You get some cards after beating each opponent. Also, after you beat the first 4 opponents, you unlock a trading machine (VS Net). You can trade 3 cards of the same rarity to get another card of better rarity. f. Action Cards Action cards can be used during your turn. Once they are used, they are discarded from your hand. You can use as many action cards as you want in one turn, as long as you have enough SPs to use them. Their effects are diverse, from card withdrawal to directly removing your opponent's HPs g. Reaction Cards Reaction cards are a new feature to CFC2. Basically, they are a different type of action card that is played when the opponent is attacking. They consume SP, and will have different effects to help defend against the coming onslaught. Effects of various reaction Cards are described in the Cards Section h. Character Cards The most common type of cards, they are the cards that can be put down on the playing field, and that can battle each other. They represent SNK or Capcom characters. Some characters have multiple cards (Ryu has at least 2 differents cards), and some also have abilities (SQUARE [], CIRCLE (), or TRIANGLE /\). You can also use them to back up. ===== 4. In game translations & interface a. Menus Unlike CFC1 where your main interface was through a pop up menu on the world map, CFC2 features a main menu from which you can choose your game mode. As you play through the game, some menu options become available. You can see in which menu you are by simply looking at the thin blue, screen-wide bar at the top of your screen. Main menu - Story - Battle - Free Battle - See Free Battle Section (5.d) for details - Exhibition (link) - Deathmatch (link) - Tutorial - Cards dictionary - Deck work - Card Menu - Set up deck - Undo deck - Card Album - Rename Deck - Give/Get card - Trade card - VS.NET (appears only after beating Kidou in Story mode) - Card Shop - Trade Machine - DC Link (only after beating the game once) - Radio Dowsing (only after beating the game once) (see the secrets and nifty things section) - Save Stats are as follows: CPU xxxx victories yyyy losses CABLE xxxx victories yyyy losses TIME xx:yy ALBUM xx% xxx/424 BACK-UP xx% xxx/804 Would you like to save? - Yes - No ===== 5. Story and flow a. Starting a New Game If you are starting a new game from a cart that has already been played, you will be asked to confirm erasing the previous game (a cart can hold only one game at a time). To confirm, choose the left option twice. Note: when given these yes or no choices, yes is always on the left. Upon starting a new game, you will see Neo Mantle laughing, as he prepares his card-stealing assault on the CF high school. You will then be taken in front of the school, to talk with Haruna, then to your teacher (Lip)'s office where Haruna will offer you a starter deck. It's up to you to choose which. SNK starter contains: 1x Mai 2x Alfred 2x Lee Pailong 2x Galford 2x Tam Tam 2x Cham Cham 2x Basara 2x Ralf 2x Clark 2x Asamiya Athena 2x Chin Gensai 2x Shingo 2x Amano 2x Hayate 2x Carol 2x Kim Suhil 2x Tarma 2x Marco 2x Fio 2x Rody 2x Kyou 2x Cathy 1x Lightning 1x Cover Fire 1x Bopper 1x Raw shield 1x Best shot 1x Awakening 2x Robot Punch 2x Vacation Capcom starter deck contains: 1x Ken 2x Cammy 2x Juni x2 2x Juli 1x Alex 2x Yun 2x Yang 2x Sean 2x Retsu 2x Lee 2x John Talbain 2x Rikou 2x B Hayato 2x Al & Iven 2x Wang Tang 2x Rouge 2x Ginsu 2x Mack the Knife 2x Baby Head 2x Rush x2 2x Arthur 1x Lightning 1x Cover Fire 1x Bopper 1x Raw Shield 1x Best Shot 1x Awakening 2x Robot Punch 2x Vacation Haruna will then show you the 'How to Play' screen, and will test your newly acquired deck with a VS match. If you win this first match you will be treated with a B rarity card. If you chose the SNK deck, you will get a Terry card. If you chose the Capcom one, you will get a Sagat card. You can move along the road in Story mode, you will unlock the places as you play, as they are not all accessible right from the start. You will know about important battles that will unlock places because of the flashing "Battle Point" text above the places in question. When you have no "Battle Point" text flashing, you will have to look for someone to talk to (go through all the places you already visited). You can exit Story mode by pressing the OPTION button, which will pop up the Statistics screen and give you the following choices: - Card Menu - Save - Main Menu (will ask you to save) b. Characters Everything was fine at the Card Fighters (CF) school until a mysterious character, Neomant appeared and stome the cards from some of the school's students. Now the students and their teacher Lip are out to chase the thief. The game features a cast of 14 main characters. You will impersonate Rikuto throughout the game (although you will be able to change his name at the beginning of the game).

Walkthrough The game is very straightforward. Go to a place, beat the character that is there, then head for another place. Beating a character will allow you to challenge him in Free Battle mode (from the main menu, 2nd option, then first option). Check the Free Battle section for more information. Locations Each location is a different battle point where you take on an opponent. Some locations have multiple areas where you can go. Once you've beaten a battle point, you can go back there and take on the opponent again to win more cards. The map is displayed in isometric 3D: 1 + -----2---+ / / / +-----+ / 1) 3 / 2) VS Corp / +---6 3) CF School 4-----+-+----+ / 4) MV Land / / 5) Joyful Fountain +-5 +-7 6) Lost Church / 7) Powered Lab / 8) Vanguard +----+----+ 9) Lost World / / 10) Joy Joy shop 9-+ +-8 +-10 You start off at the CF School (3), where you will battle Haruna, you will be then taken to the school menu, where you will be able to fight Lip, your CF teacher, by selecting the top right option in the school menu. You can battle Lip also after beating Fuwa. You can then leave the school and head to the Joyful Fountain (5) where you will battle Fuwa, the ninja. Then you can head to the Joy Joy shop (10) where your brother Kido, the shop's manager, is waiting for you. Beating him will unlock the VS Net option in the game's main menu. After that, you can go back to the CF school (3) and select the bottom left choice in the menu ('go to the roof') where you will battle the three CF school rebel-style students, Dogou the mad scientist, Aso the arrogant girl, then Torawo the pirate looking rebel student. Next opponent waiting is Shin at the Vanguard(8). After beating him you can then head back to Lip's office (top right option in the CF school menu) and talk to her. Then go to the Lost World (9) to battle Foru. Head back to the Vanguard (8) to battle Kei. Then go talk to the rebels on the roof of CF school, they will warn you that Neo Mantle, waiting for you at the Joyful Fountain (5). He has the very same deck you have. Once you beat him, go to the CF school (3) class (upper right option). Haruna will present you Yashichi, which you will have to battle against. Once you beat her, go to the Joyful Fountain where you will be automatically taken to all the places you've already visited (Lip's office, CF School roof, Joy joy shop, The Lost World, Vanguard then you'll be taken to the church where you'll meet Comet. the MV Land (4) will be unlocked, go there, you will have a chat, then you'll be off to fight Nanako at the Powered Lab (7). Once you beat Nanako (which should have been a tough fight if you didn't do many battles to upgrade your deck), head to VS Corp, then to Lip's class at CF school. Lip and Haruna will present you with a transfer student, Zet C. Detroit, with whom you will have a card fight (he's a 3000 HP opponent, but he has a weak deck). Once you beat him, heat to the CP boat (1) (where you will be greeted with a text that reads "I'm Not Boy" in katakana ;) Haruna will show you a Tabatha card, then you will have to battle Cap (his last name is 'Com' ;). Neomant will make an appearance and you will learn the Neomant is in fact Robomant, created by the VS Corp. Go to Lip's class at CF school to have a chat with your teacher then go to the Lost church to talk to Comet, she will give you the Tabatha card she showed you earlier. Once this is done, go to the VS Corp to chat and battle Neomant. Ince you beat him you will be given two choices, the left one is "Go to the Duel Room", the other is "go back to the world map". If you go back to the map, you can always go to the Duel Room later on. In the Duel Room you will meet G Lady, and see Robomant's true, cyborg form. G Lady will then give you a Kyo card (if you chose the SNK deck at the start of the game) or a Ryu card (if you chose a Capcom deck when you started). You will then be taken to the map. Set up your deck for the final battle, and head to the Duel Room one more time to fight Robomant in his true form. Once you beat him you will be given a choice wether to leave the Duel Room to prepare (left option), or to continue (right option). If you leave, you will not lose anything and be able to continue the game in the Duel Room as if you never left it. Thus, continuing will lead you to the game's final boss, Sys (last name is 'Tem') Beat him, and you will have completed the game. WARNING: Beating Sys toughens the Free Battle mode. After beating the game, ALL the characters in Free Battle mode will have 3000 HP, and much better decks, making backuping and obtaining the unique (S) cards a lot tougher. Fortunately, you will be able to battle the previous, easier versions of the characters in Story mode, by going to the places where you first met them. Beating the game also tells you what kind of cards the characters give you when you beat them in Free Battle mode: Haruna -> All SNK Lip -> Character cards Zet -> Samurai Spirits cards Torawo -> AC/RE Cards Aso -> RE Cards 3 Dogou -> AC Cards 3 Fuwa -> Gekka (Last Blade) Cards Yashichi-> Capcom other 2D Kido -> Ryuko (The Art of Fighting) etc Foru -> All Capcom Nanako -> Capcom other 3D Shin -> Garou (Garou densetsu/Fatal Fury) Cards Kei -> KoF (The King of Fighters) Cards Cap -> Justice (Justice Gakuen/Rival Schools) Cards Comet -> Vampire (Darkstalkers) Cards Sys -> SF 1.2.3. (Street Fighters) Cards Finishing the game also changes the following things: - DC Connection is now available under the VS.Net menu - The card shop starts to run a bargain sale. You can get various cards for a decent value. I got an A-rarity Ryu card and only had to trade 3 C-rarities for it. Check the Secrets & Nifty things section. - An extra mode is unlocked if you speak to the girl with glasses. It is accessible in Vs.net under the main menu. No idea what it's for, though. Something about 'ESP'. Maybe you need ESP Action card? - In the main classroom of the school, the male student there now has another choice. If you choose that new option, the student will hint you about some backups: If you choose Joe, he says "Muay Thai" If you choose Mai or Chun Li, he says "Heroine" If you choose Ruby Heart, he says "kaizoku" (pirate) If you choose Carol, he says "Ball" (this list is incomplete) - In the principal's office, you'll find the female Neomant and can battle with her. You do not use your own deck for this battle, however. - You will be able to fight G.Lady if you go to Lip's office. You can then face her again by holding the OPTION button while selecting Lip in Free Battle Mode. d. Free Battle You can enter Free Battle mode by choosing Battle (second option in the main menu), then Free Battle (first option of the Battle menu). Free Battle allows you to quickly have a card fight with any of the characters you have already met, and won against, in Story mode. You will have to beat the opponents a variable number of times before each give you a unique (S) card, which can only be obtained against them in Free Battle mode. Characters with 2000BP have to be beaten 20 times for them to give you their (S) card, and 3000BP characters must be beaten 30 times. The table is as follows: Haruna :2000HP: Akari(T) Kido :2000HP: Terry (T) Lip :2000HP: Nakoruru (S) Foru :2000HP: Chun Li (D) Zet :3000HP: Geese (H) Nanako :3000HP: Roll (M) Torawo :2000HP: Rock (M) Shin :3000HP: Ryo (H) Aso :2000HP: Shiki (S) Kei :3000HP: Kyo(T) Dogou :2000HP: Jill (M) Cap :3000HP: Ryo (H) Fuwa :2000HP: Cammy (D) Comet :3000HP: Morrigan(D) Yashichi:3000HP: Rimururu (S) Sys :3000HP: Ryu (U) ===== 6. Strategies a. Attacking There is a lot of strategy involved in attacking. The basis of attacking is as follows. You select a character to attack. The opponent may either choose a character to counter, look at cards in the ring, or choose to take the attack. If another character chooses to counter, a battle ensues. Both characters do their remaining BP in damage to the other character. If either character is reduced to 0 BP, they are knocked out. However, the player themselves doesn't take any damage if they allow a counter attack to take place. Also, there are special ways to attack as follow: Multiple attack: You can have as many characters attack as there are in the ring. The good thing about this is that each character must be defended against, and anyone who is not counter-attacked will damage the opponent directly. The bad news is that all characters attacking will be put into freeze phase. You can have all of your characters attack, but they will all be in freeze phase, leaving you a sitting duck for the opponent's counterattack... Unless... you take out all of the opponent's characters in the process. Union Attack: You may have multiple character do a union attack by using up SP. You can do a 2 character attack for 5SP or a 3 character attack with 10SP. The advantage to doing a Union Attack is that only one character can defend against it. Any excess damage is transferred to the opponent. In other words, if you attack with 1000 BP worth of attackers and your opponent counters with a 300 BP defender, that defender will be KO'ed and the opponent will suffer from 700 HP of damage. When doing a Union attack, characters with an O ability (such as Heidern) cannot use their powers.) Also, don't forget to read the card comments in the Cards list section, as they sometime provide some nifty strategies. b. Defending When defending, you have the option to either choose defenders or take the attack(s) When countering, your character saves you from damage, but may be KO'ed themselves. If the opponent uses more than one attacker, you have to use on defender for each character if you wish to block. If you wish to counter a joint attack, you can only choose one defender to block the whole array. Strategy: Know when to defend and when to just take the damage. For example, if the opponent attacks with a 100BP attacker, just take the damage (unless it would kill you of course) This way, the near useless attacker is left sitting on the bench and they can defend your upcoming onslaught. My best strategy to go by is if you can do a bigger attack to the opponent by NOT countering your opponent and can still stand up to the attack, then don't defend. The opponents will be left helpless to defend against your upcoming onslaught. c. CPU AI The key to collecting with ease in CFC has always been understanding the CPU's way of thinking, and CFC2 is no different. So in case you haven't figured out how the CPU thinks yet, hopefully this will help. -The CPU will almost always counter an attacking card with high BP. It will usually NOT counter an attacking card with low BP, unless it is either low on HP (below 1000, I think) or has character cards with even lower BP than the attacking card. This applies to Union Attacks as well. -When attacking a lone CPU card with two or three single characters, the CPU will always counter the character with higher BP. If two or three of the highest attacking characters have the same BP, the CPU will counter the card that has a O or [] ability. -When attacking with a Union Attack and a single character on a CPU with only one active character card, the CPU will only counter the Union Attack if its character's BP is greater than that of the single character, and the Union is stronger than the single character. That's the basics. There are some small exceptions here and there, but this is generally what the CPU does d. Enemy decks Knowing what your enemy's deck contains is knowing what to expect. The characters have the same deck in Story and Free Battle modes, until you beat the game. Once you beat Sys in story mode, all the Free Battle decks are greatly upgraded.

Thing is, you will also be given a random deck with 36 character cards, 8 action and 6 reaction cards to play her (this is, of course, temporary) e. Making good decks First some basics. There are 3 major groups of cards I will refer to here. The Triad: Akuma, Yashiro, Yamazaki - These were basically the 3 most powerful cards in the game in CFC1, and 99% of decks were based around these guys. They have a diminished role in CFC2, but are still quite powerful. The Four Fatties: Geese, Krauser, Mech Zangief, Zero Gouki - The four highest BP cards in the game. Also toned down in this game, because of the penalty you have to suffer for bringing them into play. The Stall Sisters: Regina and Yuki - These cards are used to keep the enemy from playing high BP cards and messing you over. Best used in a defensive or stall deck. These are cards that can be useful in any deck. They have less than 800 BP, which keeps them from being victimized by defensive decks. They all have useful special powers as well. Shermie: Excellent card for Defense Haggar: Cleanup card Akari (P): Another cleanup card Sougetsu: Useful to stall the opponent, since they won't get a card next turn Morrigan: I shouldn't need to explain this one Rock Howard: Useful special power does heavy damage if the enemy has lots of cards Yashiro: Another no brainer Nakoruru(C): This one gives you some great healing, and has good stats BB Hood: Hit and run, use her to take out an enemy's big card Billy: Check out the enemy's hand, plus toss an AC card Evil Ryu: KO's a frozen enemy card Saki: Allows you to bring out anything you need Joe: The ultimate card for trying to deck your enemy Guile: Useful to prevent damage from guys like Akuma and Yashiro Ken: Can't be frozen after attacking Strider Hiryu: Cut down enemy's backups Twelve: Great for Defense These are the best overall AC cards. They fit well into just about any type of deck Showtime Grenade Lucky Kitty Stifler Tri Quiz : If you can get 3 of this card, you can toss your extra Grenades, Showtimes, and Graces, to create more room for other stuff Makeover : Best card for getting rid of a hand of junk you can't use Psyche Up : Free SP School's Out/Slaughter : Useful to clean up if you're in a tight situation Management : Good to bring the AC card you most need Laundry These are useful Reaction cards for any deck Robot Punch/Vacation : You get a couple of these from the start, and they can serve you well throughout the game Choukadan : Potentially the most deadly counter there is, especially in a power deck Cruel Hunting - Useful if you're worried about enemy's massive cards Either of the two healing cards Overheat Note: You want to make sure you have a good mix of character cards with other types of cards. If you put in too many RE or AC cards, you might not draw characters when you need em. I recommend about 30-35 character cards, and the rest being AC and RE cards as suited to your playing style. Now with that out of the way, let's get into specific deck strategies Deck Type #1 - The Balanced Deck============================================== Theme: This deck will have a wide variety of cards, and be able to deal with most threats. Doesn't rely heavily on one card or power Strengths: You have a wide variety of characters and can deal with lots of various threats. Your opponent will not be able to focus on countering a specific strategy. Weaknesses: You may not always get the cards you need when you need them Key Cards: None really. You will want to have a wide variety of character cards from the above list, either one or two of them depending on your taste. You will also want to have an assortment of bruiser cards, with high BP, so you can destroy the enemies quickly. Try to stay away from the four fatties in this case, use high BP cards with beneficial powers such as Terry, Ryu, and Kyo. You can put pretty much any AC or RE cards you like in here to compliment your playing style. If you want to add some defensive flair to your deck, add a Yuki and or Regina. Also, Terry B suits this deck well for taking out high powered enemy cards. ============================================================================== Deck Type #2 - Bruiser Deck=================================================== Theme: This deck relies heavily on high powered cards, and is designed to take the enemy down ASAP. Useful for 1st time Free Battle/Story mode battles. Laughs at: Any deck without Regina or Yuki Fears: Regina and Yuki. To a lesser extent, Wild Iori and Terry B Key Cards: The Triad (Akuma, Yashiro, Yamazaki) Any high powered cards you can throw together (anything with 1000 BP or more is prime) Strategy: This is based on the super killer decks that were dominant in CFC1, where you could kill pretty much anyone by putting in 3 Akumas, 3 Yashiros, 3 Yamazakis, and whatever high powered BP cards you had. This type of deck is still effective, but you now have several things to be wary of. 1. The Triad is toned down quite a bit in this game. As a result of this, you may want to add in some AC cards that have the same effect to take an enemy card out of play (Reparation, Puppet, and Double KO) 2. The Four Fatties were also toned down in that you now have to pay a penalty to bring them into play. As such, you might not want to load your deck up with these guys. 3. Regina and Yuki can stop high powered cards all together. In CFC1, all you had to worry about when playing high BP cards was Wild Iori, and a person couldn't put enough Wild Iori's into their deck to stop ALL the high cards. With Regina and Yuki, those cards can be totally wiped out and taken out of consideration. You want to try to get into an advantageous position to the point where you can get in free shots with one of your cards. Of course, you now have the added danger of Reaction cards, which can mess you over. Variations: You can replace about a third to one half of your high powered BP cards with ones from the general list above. This way you have characters to bring out if the enemy plays Yuki or Regina ============================================================================== Deck Type #3 - Backup Deck==================================================== Theme: Build up powerful characters by utilizing backups Strengths: Most of the cards here start out under 800 BP, so can be played with Yuki out on the board. You can build some VERY powerful guys if this deck is used right Weaknesses: It takes time to build guys up through backupping. Also be careful of cards that eliminate someone from play (taking all their backups with them) or cards that target people with Backup (i.e. Strider Hiryuu) Key Cards: Natsu, for powering up all your guys that have backup. If she stays out long enough, she can create monsters to tear the enemy apart. Try to keep her on the bench unless necessary. Also, you want cards that bring in automatic backups for themselves (Q Bee and Bison) For each Bison card you put into your deck, you'll want one Juni and Juli card. Strategies: In addition to the cards listed above, you'll want at least one "family" of cards, meaning a set of 3 or 4 characters who can for the most part, back each other up. Probably your best bet is the Ikari Team (Ralf, Clark, Heidern, Leona, and Whip) since they have fairly useful stats and powers. Also, the Activate AC card can be very useful in this deck. Another good family to bring in is Roy, Tiffany, and Boman (since Roy has his power to allow extra backups.) Variations: You can include any family of cards you like for your main backups. If you want to have Natsu be an offensive card, bring in a couple of her backups. For this deck, you may want to have more characters, and less AC and RE cards. ============================================================================== Deck Type #4 - Shutout Deck=================================================== Theme: The antithesis of the Bruiser deck. Used to stop people who rely on high BP cards while you either pick them apart or deck them. Strengths: This deck will totally wipe out an enemy with lots of high BP characters Weaknesses: A more balanced deck will have the tools to wipe out the lower BP characters in this deck. Also beware of cards that take characters out of play, or remove/steal powers. Key Cards: Regina and Yuki. These cards are the ones who keep out the enemy's high powered cards. Yuki is more powerful for this type of deck. You also want cards that will enable you to switch hands, or get more cards, or pull out a certain card when you need it, so you can get Yuki out ASAP. Strategies: Put in any of the guys from the general list that you like. Also, toss in a bunch of healing cards, so that it takes the enemy a long time to hurt you. Chun Li is also a very useful stalling card. You can also tweak this deck to beat the foe by decking them. If this is the case, put 2 or 3 Joe's in there, and any other card that lets you make the enemy discard stuff. ===== 7.

Card Number: S033 Card Name: Hanzo Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Galford, Mukuro (Capcom card) Special Ability: SQUARE Dust Cloud: This character returns to your hand. Comments: This card is pretty good in low level games, because it can hit a weak character then retreat and come back with full power. In high level games though, he'll probably get snuffed out by a stronger guy. Card Number: S034 Card Name: Galford Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Nakoruru (C), Gallon, Rush Special Ability: TRIANGLE Hey Poppy!: Draw one card Comments: Not too useful, though you do get another card in your hand.

Card Number: S051 Card Name: Kazuki Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 1 Helpers: Ralf, Ken Special Ability: SQUARE Imbroglio: Ko's character. Decreases one other (random) character's life by 500 Comments: This card is WAY too unpredictable for my tastes. Card Number: S052 Card Name: Sougetsu Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 3 Helpers: Chong Lei, Aulbath (Rikuo) Special Ability: TRIANGLE Frigid Smirk: Skip the enemy's next draw phase Comments: Useful as a staller to deny the enemy an all important card. Decent stats too makes it a good card in any deck, if you have open slots, feel free to throw in one or two of these. Card Number: S053 Card Name: Shiki (C) Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Genjuro, Balrog (Vega) Special Ability: SQUARE NRG Syphon: KO one of your guys and recover 200 HP Comments: Useful to get rid of guys that are worn out, then you get some HP back.

Card Number: S056 Card Name: Taizan Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Ralf, Eri, Tiffany Special Ability: None Comments: Boring... Card Number:S057 Card Name: Amakusa Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Zankuro, Orochi Special Ability: TRIANGLE Give Yourself: KOs all other characters in your Ring. Raises SP 3 pts for each KOed character Comments: Decent BP, but his special power is kind of iffy. I wouldn't use it personally. Card Number: S058 Card Name: Zankuro Rarity C BP: 700 SP: 0 Helpers: Amakusa, Samanosuke Special Ability: None Comments: Good BP but not too great otherwise Card Number: S059 Card Name: The Ump Rarity B BP: 100 SP: 5 Helpers: Nicotine, The Ump, The Ump Special Ability: CIRCLE Mystic: No attacks or counters Comments: Peace..

Card Number: S060 Card Name: Kyo Rarity A BP: 800 SP: 1 Helpers: Batsu Special Ability: TRIANGLE Orochinagi: Deals 500 HP of damage to the opposing player Comments: Great card, but watch for any Guile-like cards before entering it into the ring that would disrupt his power. Nothing beats finishing off the enemy by simply dropping this card. Card Number: S061 Card Name: Kyo (T) Rarity S BP: 700 SP: 3 Helpers: Shingo, K' Special Ability: CIRCLE 182 Ways: Do 300 damage to a character, or the enemy Comments: This one is quite effective, and a little more versatile than the other Kyo card.

Card Number: S062 Card Name: Benimaru Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 1 Helpers: KAEDE, Edge (blond standing hair) Special Ability: SQUARE: Thundergod Fists Do 500 damage to one character, and himself Comments: This card may be useful under the right circumstances, but I never use him, once you use his power once, you've got a crappy 100 point guy sitting on your bench, and the second use kills him. Card Number: S063 Card Name: Daimon Rarity D BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Joe, Kyo, Benimaru Special Ability: None Comments: Pretty good for a D Card Card Number: S064 Card Name: Heidern Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 1 Helpers: Leona, Ralf, Clark Special Ability: CIRCLE SBringer: Steal up to 3 SP if this character directly damages the opponent Comments: If you can get this guy to hit directly, this card has a pretty effective ability, and also fair BP.

Card Number: S066 Card Name: Ralf Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Heidern, Leona, Clark Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing too great, but his stats are decent. Good in a backup deck with other Ikari characters.

Comments: Useful if you have powerful guys doing fighting for you while she charges your SP for you. Can put up a decent fight on her own if needed. Card Number: S069 Card Name: Kensou Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Asamiya Athena, Chin Gensai, Yun Special Ability: TRIANGLE Meat Bun - recover 200 HP Comments: A pretty useful card. Being able to recover HP is nice, but his stats are only so-so Card Number: S070 Card Name: Chin Gensai Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 5 Helpers: Lee Pai Long, Athena Asamiya, Kensou Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing special except the 5 SP Card Number: S071 Card Name: Chang Rarity D BP: 600 SP: 0 Helpers: Kim, Jhun Hoon, Victor Special Ability: None Comments: Card Number: S072 Card Name: Choi Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 4 Helpers: Kim, Jhun Hoon, Balrog (US Vega) Special Ability: TRIANGLE Enabler: Shuffle either you or your opponent's deck Comments: One of the most nonsensical powers ever, and poor stats. Card Number: S073 Card Name: Saisyu Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Takuma, Heidern Special Ability: TRIANGLE Exorcism: Decreases enemy's life by 200 pts. Comments: This card has a nice special power, but his weak stats hurt him a lot. Card Number: S074 Card Name: Shingo Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 1 Helpers: Kyo, Sakura Special Ability: SQUARE Burning Shingo: Decreases his and another character's BP by 300 Comments: This is a pretty crummy card. His special ability isn't all that great. He'll kill himself after using this twice. Card Number: S075 Card Name: Chizuru Rarity A BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Yuki Special Ability: SQUARE Contain: Throw away an action card, and it takes away an enemies power and reduces their BP to 100 Comments: You can get Chizuru from the Card store (Bargain shop). She appears at a frequency of 0.78% (equivalent to about once every 128 times). This card has weak stats, but a VERY effective special power if you're able to use it. Card Number: S076 Card Name: Iori Rarity C BP: 1000 SP: 0 Helpers: Jedah Special Ability: CIRCLE Blood Contract: He can't be used for defending Comments: He is sweet if you already have gato out, but other than that he isn't so good. Great attacker though.

Card Number: S078 Card Name: Shermie Rarity B BP: 500 SP: 3 Helpers: Yashiro, Chris, Kyoko Special Ability: TRIANGLE Go Easy on me: opponent's next turn, he will not be able to attack Comments: This is a great stall card, useful in just about any deck, just in case you need to delay the enemy for a bit. Card Number: S079 Card Name: Chris Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Yashiro, Shermie Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing here, move along. Card Number: S080 Card Name: Goenitz Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Mature, Vice Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing incredible but solid stats Card Number: S081 Card Name: Orochi Rarity A BP: 1000 SP: 0 Helpers: Amakusa Special Ability: TRIANGLE Sanity: Both players lose all SP Comments: Good stats, but be careful you don't hurt yourself with this card. Best to use him when the other guy has high SP and you don't have that much. Card Number: S082 Card Name: Mature Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Yamazaki, Goenitz, Vice Special Ability: None Comments: Junk Card Number: S083 Card Name: Vice Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Yamazaki, Goenitz, Mature Special Ability: None Comments: More Junk Card Number: S084 Card Name: Orochi Iori (aka Wild Iori) Rarity A BP: 1000 SP: 0 Helpers: Evil Ryu Special Ability: TRIANGLE Kurf: KOs one character with 800BP+, if not Ko himself (Like CFC1) Comments: Killer of great hard-hitters like Geese, Orochi, etc... Card Number: S085 Card Name: Orochi Leona (Wild Leona) Rarity A BP: 800 SP: 0 Helpers: Evil Ryu Special Ability: TRIANGLE Awakening - Does 400 damage to one character Comments: Not sure if this character loses BP if she can't hit another enemy like in CFC1, but this card is still greatly improved with more BP, and makes the jump from B to A rarity. Card Number: S086 Card Name: K' Rarity A BP: 700 SP: 3 Helpers: Kyo(T), Maxima Special Ability: TRIANGLE Unstoppable: Decreases all other character's life by 300. Comments: Good stats, and his special power is useful under the right circumstances, like if the enemy has a full bench Card Number: S087 Card Name: Maxima Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 1 Helpers: K', Victor Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing too special, but some good BP Card Number: S088 Card Name: Kaede (The Last Blade) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 4 Helpers: Moriya, Akari (P), Yuki Special Ability: none Comments: Junk Card Number: S089 Card Name: Awakened Kaede (The Last Blade 1(mode)/2(secret)) Rarity D BP: 700 SP: 0 Helpers: Moriya, Akari (S), Yuki Special Ability: CIRCLE Power Match: Uses up 2 BP per turn Comments: Crappy. Don't waste BP for this one Card Number: S090 Card Name: Moriya Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 1 Helpers: Kaede, Yuki Special Ability: CIRCLE Oboro: Enemy takes 100 damage for each turn this guy is out Comments: A nice special power. If you can keep him alive, he'll chip away at the enemy slowly Card Number: S091 Card Name: Akari (P) Rarity A BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Juzo, Rose Special Ability: SQUARE 100 Demon Night: KO all characters including this one Comments: Great cleanup card if you're outnumbered. Card Number: S092 Card Name: Akari (S) Rarity B BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Juzo, Rouge Special Ability: SQUARE One-way Morph - Select a card with a /\ ability from hand and discard it, card then performs that ability. Comments: Nothing great here, since you're better off playing the card that does the power yourself. Only way I can think of using this card, is if both benches are full and you want to put down an Akuma or something, she can use his power and kill the guy across from her. Card Number: S093 Card Name: Juzo Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 1 Helpers: Akari (P), Akari (S), Akari Special Ability: None Comments: Junk Card Number: S094 Card Name: Washizuka Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Kojiro, Gouki, Eagle Special Ability: None Comments: Slightly better than his CFC1 counterpart, since he now gives you a couple SP. Still crappy though Card Number: S095 Card Name: Kojiro Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 5 Helpers: Washizuka, Gouki, Powered Akira (C085) Special Ability: CIRCLE Shun Jin: Nullifies /\ abilities Comments: This card is like a weaker version of Guile. It has the same power, but not as much attacking power. Since it is a C card though, it's easier to get than Guile. Card Number: S096 Card Name: Amano Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 3 Helpers: Genjuro, Hibiki, Roy Special Ability: None Comments: Garbage Card Number: S097 Card Name: Mukuro Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Genan, Zabel, Zombie Special Ability: TRIANGLE IkeruShikaban All characters lose their abilities Comments: A horrible card in CFC1, this one can actually be useful in the right circumstances. Card Number: S098 Card Name: Lee Rekka Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 4 Helpers: Kim, Yun, Yang Special Ability: None Comments: Crap Card Number: S099 Card Name: Zantetsu Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 3 Helpers: Eiji, Hanzo, Sho (C100 Ginsu) Special Ability: CIRCLE Byouma: At the end of the turn, every character take 200 damage (including this one) Comments: Ouch. Not very useful, unless the other guy has a full bench. Card Number: S100 Card Name: Shigen Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 1 Helpers: Shishiou, Leo Special Ability: CIRCLE Steel Bulb: Nullfies damage when countering a unite attack Comments: A nice card if the enemy decides to do a unite attack on you.

Get 100 HP for each card in hand Comments: Nice BP and a special power that lets him go out with a bang.

Card Number: S104 Card Name: Hagane Hitogata (aka The Wanderer) Rarity B BP: 100 SP: 0 Helpers: The Ump, Twelve Special Ability: TRIANGLE Change! BP becomes same as 1 enemy character's. Valid only when character is in enemy ring. Comments: This card can be powerful when playing a tough opponent with a lot of strong cards. Card Number: S105 Card Name: AKARI Rarity B BP: 500 SP: 5 Helpers: The Ump, Ibuki Special Ability: SQUARE Ponta Leaf: Select one character from hand and discard it, BP becomes same as that character Comments: This one can be rather useful, if you repeatedly have her attack, and heal herself with another card. Be careful not to run out of characters to play if you use this though. Card Number: S106 Card Name: Hayate Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 1 Helpers: Cham Cham, Rosa, Kim Sue Il Special Ability: None Comments: Junk Card Number: S107 Card Name: Carol Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 4 Helpers: Hayate, Kim Sue Il, Natsu Special Ability: None Comments: More Junk... though 4 SP is not bad Card Number: S108 Card Name: Rosa Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Hayate, Carol, Daigo Special Ability: TRIANGLE Sagatte Na!: Returns one character from your bench to your hand.

Card Number: S113 Card Name: Rob Python Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 0 Helpers: Rick, M.Bison, Dudley Special Ability: None Comments: Crap Card Number: S114 Card Name: Eri (Metal Slug 2) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 5 Helpers: Tarma, Marco, Fio Special Ability: TRIANGLE Hinekure Mono: Return this character to hand If there are any other characters in play Comments: Ayame like?

Give 100 BP damage to every character except Marco for each discarded card. Comments: Discarding your hand is a bad idea, the possibility of hitting your own guys is even worse.

Card Number: S120 Card Name: Athena Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Nina Special Ability: CIRCLE Flame Sword: This character always does 600 damage when attacking the opponent directly. Comments: This card is unchanged from CFC1. It's very useful on offense when attacking the enemy directly, since it always does the same damage even if weakened. However, she doesn't gain any benefits from Awakening cards and such when directly attacking.

All other characters on both sides have BP reduced to 100 Comments: You can still use her power even if you have 0 SP. The best time to play her is when the opponent has several powerful guys out, and you have fairly weak ones. Useful in a stall deck Card Number: C004 Card Name: Guile Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 4 Helpers: Nash, John Special Ability: CIRCLE Somersault Kick: Neutralizes all /\ abilities Comments: Very useful card to play against enemies who use big league /\ cards. Good stats too. Card Number: C005 Card Name: E Honda Rarity D BP: 500 SP: 3 Helpers: Sodom, Hinako Special Ability: TRIANGLE Kamizu: Both you and the opponent draw 2 cards Comments: I find this card to be pretty useful, as you immediately get some more cards in your hand, even though the opponent gets the same benefit. Good for a D card. Card Number: C006 Card Name: Blanka Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 1 Helpers: Dan, Gen An, Benimaru Special Ability: TRIANGLE Houden: Both characters discard the top 5 cards in their deck. Comments: This one can be useful, but it tends to hurt you as much as it does the other guy.

It has a lot of BP which makes it a fearsome force when attacking. It's special ability is also VERY useful, since it gives you the chance to see the opponent's hand, which is an important tactical advantage as you can see if the opponent has anything dangerous to use against you. Plus you get to throw away their Action Cards. Try to play this card when you don't have any important action cards in your hand. Card Number: C012 Card Name: Vega (aka US M.Bison - The leader of Shadaloo) Rarity B BP: 800 SP: 4 Helpers: Juni, Juli, Geese Special Ability: TRIANGLE Evil Charisma: Shuffles deck after adding one Juni and Juli card to your hand. Comments: His special power allows him to put some immediate backups for himself into your hand, but even without Juni and Juli, Bison is still great for his stats alone. Card Number: C013 Card Name: Dee Jay Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 4 Helpers: Amingo, Duck King, Bob Special Ability: None Comments: Pretty much useless, but he does give some decent SP.

Card Number: C019 Card Name: Ryu (U) Rarity S BP: 700 SP: 1 Helpers: Kyo Special Ability: SQUARE Hadoken: Throw away one card and it does 300 damage to another character (like the regular Ryu basically, just not as powerful) Comments: Slightly less powerful than the regular Ryu, but useful in a shutout deck.

Card Number: C028 Card Name: Sakura Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 3 Helpers: Hinata, Shingo Special Ability: TRIANGLE Sakura Fight: BP doubled if player's life is at 1000 or less Comments: This card is unchanged from CFC1. It's very useful in cases of an emergency and you are weakened, it gives you another heavy hitter. This card has fair stats even if you aren't using her power. Put 2 Karin (C031) cards and 2 Sakura cards in a trade machine will give you a Reset Button (A059) action card. Card Number: C029 Card Name: Gen Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Lee, Lee Pai Long, Chin Gensai Special Ability: TRIANGLE Change School: Puts back the AC cards that have been discarded into the pile, shuffles your pile.

I forgot to upgrade my deck before talking to Lip and got into a battle. Well, she kept me on the defensive the whole time, but I was able to win by "decking" her. It was fun looking at the discards each round and seeing her much better cards being discarded." Card Number: C045 Card Name: Twelve Rarity C BP: 100 SP: 0 Helpers: The Ump, Hagane, Zero Special Ability: CIRCLE X.C.O.P.Y. When this character counterattacks, BP equals that of the enemy. Comments: This is the ultimate defensive card, it can snuff out any character attack, even a union attack.

Raise SP by 8 Comments: Her stats are as good as the other Morrigan's but her power isn't quite as useful IMO. However, this is one of the most efficient ways to get rid of a guy who is almost dead. Either Morrigan is useful to have. Card Number: C053 Card Name: Gallon (aka John Talbain) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Galford, Nakoruru (T) (S036) Special Ability: TRIANGLE Seething Blood: Randomly raises or decreases BP by 300 when put into play Comments: This card is unchanged from CFC1.

However, in a backup-heavy deck, you may have all three cards having backups -- +600BP a round! Card Number: C061 Card Name: Phobos (aka Huitzil) Rarity C BP: 700 SP: 1 Helpers: Blodia, Kikaio Special Ability: None Comments: No special power, but nice BP. Good early card.

Draw 3 cards after shuffling. Comments: Not too bad a card if you need to get rid of a junky hand, or if you only have 1 or 2 cards left. Card Number: C064 Card Name: Donovan Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Gouki, Gaira, Kevin Special Ability: SQUARE Change Immortal: Toss one card, and get 300BP Comments: He can build himself up to be a fighting machine, but isn't worth it more than likely. Card Number: C065 Card Name: Jedah Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Q Bee, Lilith, Orochi Iori Special Ability: CIRCLE P.D.C. Draw a card if this character damages the enemy. Comments: Can be useful, but a powerful deck will have better ways to get cards. Card Number: C066 Card Name: BB Hood (aka Bulleta) Rarity A BP: 500 SP: 3 Helpers: Gallon Special Ability: SQUARE Apple for You: KOs one enemy character, shuffles deck when this character's returned to deck Comments: This is an awesome hit and run card. She can wipe out a powerful guy, then escape back to your deck for another go at it later. Card Number: C067 Card Name: Q-Bee Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Q-bee, Q-Bee Special Ability: TRIANGLE Plus B: Shuffles the deck when you have all Q-Bee cards (In other words, you pull any other Q-Bee cards you have out, then shuffle the deck) Comments: This card is unchanged from CFC1. Decent Stats, it can also become a force to be reckoned with if you happen to have 3 of them in your deck. Card Number: C068 Card Name: Lilith Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Morrigan, Shingo Special Ability: TRIANGLE Becoming one: All discarded characters are returned to the deck. Deck is shuffled Comments: Keep one of these cards in your deck, and try to save it for emergencies, like when a lot of your bigger guns have been used up. Card Number: C069 Card Name: Hayato (Star Gladiator series) Rarity C BP: 700 SP: 1 Helpers: June, Elle Special Ability: TRIANGLE Asura Discard all AC cards in hand. For every discarded AC card, raise this character's BP by 200. Comments: Useful if you have a lot of AC cards you're not using, otherwise isn't too great. Card Number: C070 Card Name: B. Hayato (Star Gladiator series) Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Ryomo, Samanosuke, Yagyu Jubei Special Ability: None Comments: This card is slightly improved from CFC1, as it now gives 2 BP instead of 1. It's pretty decent early on. Card Number: C071 Card Name: June (Star Gladiator series) Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Chun Li(D), Hayato, Elle Special Ability: CIRCLE Plasma Ring: Nobody can use [] abilities Comments: Useful against the enemy's Terry B or other powerful cards. Card Number: C072 Card Name: Rain Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Karin, King, Charlotte Special Ability: TRIANGLE Back off! One of your characters (or this one if you have one out) is returned to the hand. Comments: With the artwork on this card, I can't tell if her nipples are showing or if it's just part of her outfit... anyway, this card is pretty useful if you need to get a weakened character off your bench. Good BP too. Card Number: C073 Card Name: Jin Saotome Rarity A BP: 800 SP: 4 Helpers: Blodia, Blodia, Blodia Special Ability: SQUARE Saotome Dynamite: KO's this character and 1 enemy character Comments: This card has great stats and an incredible special power. You can have him attack once, then blow him up later and take a big enemy down with him. One of the best cards in the game. Card Number: C074 Card Name: Blodia Rarity D BP: 1000 SP: 0 Helpers: Jin Saotome, Kikaio Special Ability: TRIANGLE Energy Cost: Uses up 10 SP. If you don't have 10 SP, Blodia is KO'ed Comments: Early on, this card may be useful if you have 10 SP to burn. Otherwise, don't bother with it, there are plenty more cards with 1000 BP that don't burn up your energy. Card Number: C075 Card Name: Zero Gouki (aka Zero Akuma) Rarity A BP: 1500 SP: 0 Helpers: Gouki Special Ability: TRIANGLE Distraction: This card forces you to show the enemy your hand, and discard any AC or RE cards you have in your hand. Comments: Try to play this card when you don't have any AC or RE cards in your hand. Even still, it's a small price to pay to bring this monster out. Card Number: C076 Card Name: Leo Rarity D BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Gallon, Shigen, Shishiou Special Ability: None Comments: Yay, another 500/2 card. Card Number: C077 Card Name: Mukuro (aka Kenji) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 1 Helpers: Ginsu, Hanzo, Zantetsu Special Ability: TRIANGLE Mittei: Draw a card from the opponent's pile. Then select a hand card and place it on your opponent's discard pile. Comments: This one might mess up an enemy with a powerful deck, but otherwise is too unpredictable, unless the other guy played Saki and you KNOW what they have coming up. Card Number: C078 Card Name: Tabatha (aka Tessa) Rarity A BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Al&Iven, Rouge, Akari (P) Special Ability: SQUARE Solar Cane SP is not used up when using 1 AC card right after using this ability (for this turn only) Comments: If you like using action cards a lot, this one might be for you. Card Number: C079 Card Name: Al & Iven Rarity D BP: 100 SP: 6 Helpers: Felicia, Tabatha, Cham Cham Special Ability: Comments: Who cares that this card only gives you 6 SP, when it only has 100 BP. Card Number: C080 Card Name: Tao (aka Mai-Ling) Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 5 Helpers: Cammy, Son Son, Heidern Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing too great about this card, but it provides nice SP. Card Number: C081 Card Name: Batsu (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Kyosuke, Hinato Special Ability: CIRCLE Boiling Blood: All characters in the ring can use square abilities in this turn, even if they were just brought in the ring. Comments: Moderately useful if you have Terry B or the like in your deck Card Number: C082 Card Name: Kyosuke (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Hyo, Jae Hoon Special Ability: CIRCLE Cool: lowers the SP cost of using AC cards by 3 Comments: Good if you use a lot of action cards, but remember it helps your opponent too. Card Number: C083 Card Name: Hinata (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Sakura, Asamiya Athena, Hinako Special Ability: TRIANGLE Go For it! Raise the BP of one ally by 200 Comments: Lousy stats, but she provides a fair boost to another ally. Card Number: C084 Card Name: Akira (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 5 Helpers: Daigo, Kazuki, K' Special Ability: TRIANGLE Brother Search: Looks through deck for the 1st Action card, adds it to hand, then discards whatever you looked through Comments: This card has nice stats, and can bring out an AC card when you need it most. Just be careful that you don't throw away half your deck. Card Number: C085 Card Name: Akira (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Daigo, King, Kojiro Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing special, but it has good stats. Card Number: C086 Card Name: Daigo (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity A BP: 800 SP: 0 Helpers: Akira, Rosa Special Ability: TRIANGLE Finish It! BP doubles when enemy has 3 characters in ring. Comments: This guy becomes a monster when used against a full bench. Even without his power, he has good BP, although his lack of an SP bonus hurts him. Card Number: C087 Card Name: Kyoko (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Hideo, Kim Special Ability: : TRIANGLE Massage: Stops Freeze phase for all characters in your ring Comments: This card can be useful in certain situation, like if you want to use a [] power, then she can come in and your [] guys can still attack. Card Number: C088 Card Name: Hideo (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen series) Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 3 Helpers: Kyoko, Kim Special Ability: None Comments: Boring Card Number: C089 Card Name: Falcon (Power Stone series) Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 2 Helpers: Ayame, John, Alfred Special Ability: SQUARE Power Stone: Randomly discards 1 card from your hand. Gives one of your characters. 300BP Comments: This card has fair stats, and can be useful for getting other guys powered up if you have a lot of cards in your hand Card Number: C090 Card Name: Ayame (Power Stone series) Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 5 Helpers: Ibuki, Andy, Zantetsu Special Ability: CIRCLE Ohka-Gakure: Goes back to your hand at the beginning of next turn Comments: Very tough to back up, best shot is trying with a Guile. Card Number: C091 Card Name: Wang-Tang (Power Stone series) Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Yun, Yang, Hon Fu Special Ability: None Comments: Pretty much useless card. Card Number: C092 Card Name: Ryoma (Power Stone series) Rarity C BP: 300 SP: 4 Helpers: Rouge, Haohmaru, Yagyu Jubei Special Ability: TRIANGLE Bushido: Choose 2 cards between your hand and the discard pile, the rest is discarded Comments: Not a card I would use unless you have a crappy hand, and there's goodies in the discard pile. Card Number: C093 Card Name: Rouge (Power Stone series) Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 5 Helpers: Rose, Akari (P), Akari (S) Special Ability: None Comments: Sucky card, except for the 5 SP it gives you. Card Number: C094 Card Name: Strider Hiryuu (Strider series) Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 3 Helpers: Option, Option, Option Special Ability: SQUARE Cypher: KO's a character who has back up Comments: Slightly less powerful than in CFC1 with 200 less BP. Still useful against guys that use a lot of backups. Card Number: C095 Card Name: Option (Strider series) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 0 Helpers: Strider Hiryuu, Option, Option Special Ability: CIRCLE Support: Provides backup attacks to all characters in the ring in this turn Comments: Here's a translation of this thing from Bean's "How the heck do you use this card" guide If Option is in the ring, you can give characters back-up the turn they come into play. SO, if you play a Bison card (which lets you draw a Juli and Juni card immediately and put them in your hand) then you could immediately go ahead and give Bison back up with Juli OR Juli (not both). This also works if you have 2 Option cards in your hand. You can put one option card out into play, where his ability will come into immediate effect. Then you can give him backup with the 2nd option card immediately. Card Number: C096 Card Name: Cody (Final Fight series) Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Guy, Haggar, Terry Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing tremendous but decent BP Card Number: C097 Card Name: Haggar Rarity A BP: 700 SP: 3 Helpers: Guy, Takuma Special Ability: SQUARE: Spinning Lariat: Returns all characters on both sides to the deck and shuffles Comments: Great card to have for clearing the enemy out. Nice in a defensive deck. Card Number: C098 Card Name: Damnd (Final Fight series) Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 0 Helpers: Sodom, Rolento Special Ability: SQUARE Whistle: Draws a random character card with 500 BP or less from your deck, and adds it directly to your hand. Comments: Better than Saki in a way, since he actually adds the card directly to your hand (so you can play it that same turn), while Saki only puts the card on top of your pile (so you'll have to wait for the next turn to pull the card that Saki got for you). Damnd is great for heavy backup decks with small-to-medium BP characters, like the Rival Schools gang. Card Number: C099 Card Name: Captain Commando Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 4 Helpers: Sho, Jenetty, Fuuba Special Ability: SQUARE Captain Corridor: Give 400 damage to all characters in freeze phase, including him Comments: Only moderately useful. Card Number: C100 Card Name: Sho (Ginsu) (Captain Commando) Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 5 Helpers: Jenetty, Fuuba, Hanzo Special Ability: None Comments: Useless, but it gives you 5 SP Card Number: C101 Card Name: Jenetty (Mack the Knife) (Captain Commando) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 0 Helpers: Sho, Fuuba, Mukuro (SNK) Special Ability: SQUARE Hakamori (grave keeper): Discard one hand card. One character of your choice cannot block during this round. Comments: This one can be fairly useful if the enemy has powerful guys you don't want blocking your attacks. Card Number: C102 Card Name: Fuuba (Baby Head) (Captain Commando) Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 3 Helpers: Sho, Jenetty, Shigen Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing really special here. Card Number: C103 Card Name: Leon (Resident Evil series) Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Claire, Jill Special Ability: SQUARE CONFINEMENT Stops use of AC Card during the next enemy turn Comments: He has OK stats, and his special power is fairly useful on enemies who use lots of AC cards Card Number: C104 Card Name: Claire (Resident Evil series) Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 4 Helpers: Leon, Chris R, Jill (M) Special Ability: SQUARE Decoy: KO's herself and draws one character card Comments: Not too useful Card Number: C105 Card Name: Zombie (Resident Evil series) Rarity C BP: 200 SP: 0 Helpers: Zabel, Zombie, Zombie Special Ability: SQUARE Resident Evil: KO's this character and turns another character into a zombie card. Comments: This guy would be utter junk, but he does provide interesting possibilities. You can turn the opponent's once mighty player into a worthless zombie. However, once they turn into a zombie, they can do the same thing to you... Card Number: C106 Card Name: Jill Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 1 Helpers: Leon, Claire, Chris R Special Ability: SQUARE Beretta Gives one enemy character or enemy 100 pts. damage. Comments: Not too great, though she can dish out some direct damage, which can be nice. Card Number: C107 Card Name: Rockman (aka Mega Man) (Rockman series) Rarity B BP: 600 SP: 5 Helpers: Roll Ryan, Rush Special Ability: SQUARE Enemy Ability Select one character with ability. Steal that ability from the character. Comments: A VERY powerful card when used right. Try to take away a powerful ability and use it to screw the enemy over. Card Number: C108 Card Name: Roll Ryan (Rockman series) Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 4 Helpers: Rockman, Rush, Cathy Special Ability: SQUARE Roll Buster: Decreases all character's life (and this one's) 200 pts. Comments: Her stats are better than in CFC1 (more SP), but her special power is kinda iffy, since it hurts you as much as it does the other guy. Card Number: C109 Card Name: Rush (Rockman series) Rarity D BP: 200 SP: 3 Helpers: Rockman, Roll Ryan, Galford Special Ability: None Comments: Useless Card Number: C110 Card Name: Protoman (Rockman series) Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: John, Mr Big, K' (sunglasses) Special Ability: None Comments: Junk Card Number: C111 Card Name: Rockman X (aka Megaman X) (Rockman series) Rarity D BP: 500 SP: 1 Helpers: Rockman, Zero, Leona (has an 'X' move) Special Ability: SQUARE Parts Change: Draw 1 action card from hand and discard it. Draw 2 cards Comments: Lost some stats and dropped from a C card to a D Card. His special ability is mostly useful if you have nothing in your hand but action cards you can't use. Card Number: C112 Card Name: Zero (Rockman series) Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Zero Gouki, Rockman X, Zero Special Ability: None Comments: No special power, but good stats make this a fairly worthy card. Card Number: C113 Card Name: Arthur Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 3 Helpers: Sodom, Krauser, Shishiou Special Ability: None Comments: Still nothing great, but he did gain a couple SP, and now back ups with someone besides himself. Card Number: C114 Card Name: Red Arremer Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Dimitri, Zabel, Zombie Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing great Card Number: C115 Card Name: Lucifer Rarity A BP: 1000 SP: 0 Helpers: Pyron Special Ability: SQUARE Sacrifice - KO's one of your characters, and gives that character's BP damage to another. Comments: Useful if you have an extra guy that can attack, and the enemy doesn't have anyone. The way I work this card is that I have one guy as an attacker, then when the enemy doesn't have anyone left in their ring, every guy they would try to play, I would Sacrifice someone powerful enough to kill the guy they put in, leaving my attacker free to get a uncontested hit. If you can pull this combo off properly, nothing can stop it, except certain RE cards. Lucifer himself has good BP but no SP for you. Card Number: C116 Card Name: Ryu (Breath of Fire series) Rarity B BP: 800 SP: 3 Helpers: Ryu (U), Nina Special Ability: SQUARE Transform: Decrease all enemy characters life by 100 Comments: His stats are good, and his special power can be useful to wear down enemies. Card Number: C117 Card Name: Nina Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 2 Helpers: Ryu B, Michelle, Athena Special Ability: CIRCLE Wings: Can't be blocked if you don't have any cards in your hand Comments: Not really useful, how often do you not have cards in your hand? Card Number: C118 Card Name: Michelle Rarity D BP: 300 SP: 5 Helpers: Nina, Gill, Rock H Special Ability: None Comments: Other than nice SP, there's nothing too great about this card. Card Number: C119 Card Name: Saki Rarity A BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Blodia, Zero Gouki, Kikaio Special Ability: TRIANGLE Stand By: Select 1 character from deck, then shuffle deck. Put that character on top Comments: This card is very helpful, it can let you pull out a big gun when you need it most. Card Number: C120 Card Name: Mech Zangief Rarity A BP: 1200 SP: 5 Helpers: Zangief Special Ability: TRIANGLE Antisocial: KO's another character in your ring Comments: Try to play this monster when you don't have anything else in your ring, or try to get him to KO an already weakened guy. Card Number: C121 Card Name: Dudley (Street Fighter 3) Rarity: C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: M.Bison (Balrog), Rick, Rob Python Special Ability: none Comments: Decent stats, nothing too great otherwise Card Number: C122 Card Name: Hugo (Final Fight's Andore, Street Fighter 3) Rarity B BP 1000 SP 0 Helpers Zangief, Raiden Effect: CIRCLE Toughness At the beginning of the player's turn, this card's BP changes to 500 (whether this makes him gain or lose BP does not matter) Comments: This card is best played when you know you'll be defending against an enemy on the next turn. He can then absorb the attack, and get some BP back on the next turn. Card Number: C123 Card Name: Urien Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 3 Helpers: Yun, Andy, Jae Hoon Special Ability: SQUARE Foul Stench: Look at the enemy's hand and discard their RE Cards Comments: This one has decent stats, and an OK special power. Being able to see the other guy's hand is always nice, plus you can get rid of those pesky RE cards before a big attack. Card Number: C124 Card Name: Gill Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 4 Helpers: Orochi, Rock H, GOD Rugal Special Ability: SQUARE Nearsighted: Discard one AC card and KO an enemy with no ability Comments: Moderately useful, although many of the heavy hitting cards that you would WANT to get rid of already have special powers. Card Number: C125 Card Name: Eagle Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Rolento, King, Mr. Big Special Ability: None Comments: Yet another in the long line of basic D cards with nothing special to say about them Card Number: C126 Card Name: Cody (D) Rarity S BP: 300 SP: 5 Helpers: Guy, Chang, Choi Special Ability: CIRCLE Bad Stone: All characters with 300 BP or less cannot be countered if they attack normally (not in an union attack). Comments: This includes the opponents' cards, so it might work against you. Possibly useful in a defensive deck with weaker characters. Card Number: C127 Card Name: Bilstein (Star Gladiator series) Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Rain, Rain, Rain Special Ability: SQUARE Plasma Power: Draw 2 cards, discard one card Comments: Useful to get through your deck fast to get the stuff you need, but probably not a card you'll want to use in a big deck. Card Number: C128 Card Name: Elle (Star Gladiator series) Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 4 Helpers: Hayato, June, Hibiki Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing great Card Number: C129 Card Name: Shoma Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Natsu, Roberto Special Ability: CIRCLE Ri-Ri-Ri! After attacking or countering, this character returns to the hand. Comments: Good stats, and his power makes him a nice hit and run card. Certainly better than Ukyo, who is killed after attacking. Card Number: C130 Card Name: Natsu Rarity B BP: 700 SP: 5 Helpers: Shoma, Roberto Special Ability: CIRCLE Keep it Clean: All characters receiving backup will get an additional 200 BP each round (including your opponent's backupped cards) Comments: Could be a MONSTER! The cornerstone of a backup based deck. Stats are good enough to use in an evolving powerhouse deck as well. Card Number: C131 Card Name: Roberto (Justice High School/Rival schools 2) Rarity: D BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Shoma, Natsu Special Ability: TRIANGLE Keeper: Switch the location of any two cards on the bench. Comment: Very disturbing Card Number: C132 Card Name: Roy Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Tiffany, Boman, Ukyo Special Ability: TRIANGLE Ryote: When entering the ring, choose a character (including just entered characters like himself). During this round, that character can be backed up as much as possible. Comments: Useful in a backup based deck, otherwise nothing too great. Card Number: C133 Card Name: Tiffany Rarity C BP: 400 SP: 3 Helpers: Roy, Boman, Terry B Special Ability: TRIANGLE Brass Knuckles: Makes the enemy discard one card Comments: This card is like a weak version of Andy, but is easier to get. This card is useful for messing up the opponent. Also good in a Rival schools themed backup deck Card Number: C134 Card Name: Boman Rarity D BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Roy, Tiffany, Amakusa Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing special here. Fair stats. Card Number: C135 Card Name: Edge Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Daigo, Benimaru Special Ability: TRIANGLE Manipulation: Steals the ability from the character directly in front of him. Comments: Can be useful under the right circumstances, if he can steal himself a good power. Card Number: C136 Card Name: Gan Rarity C BP: 700 SP: 2 Helpers: E Honda, Daigo, Hinako Special Ability: None Comments: Although he doesn't have a special ability, this guy has nice BP, which makes him a worthy addition to your deck. Card Number: C137 Card Name: Raizou (Justice High School/Rival schools) Rarity: C BP: 600 SP: 3 Helpers: Blanka, Gen An Special Ability: CIRCLE Stonework: raise cost or Reaction cards by 3 sp Comments: His stats aren't too bad, and he's useful to stick in a deck that doesn't plan to use a lot of RE cards Card Number: C138 Card Name: Hyo (Justice High School/Rival schools) Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 4 Helpers: Vega (M.Bison), Kyosuke Special Ability: SQUARE Pull the Plug: Removes an ability from one of your players and lets you draw a card Comments: Useful for getting use out of Triangle abilities that have already been used up.

Comments: Can be useful to play before a big attack so that you don't run the risk of the enemy killing you with a big RE card Card Number: C141 Card Name: Zaki (Rival Schools/Justice Gakuen 2) Rarity B BP: 300 SP: 0 Helpers: Birdie, Cody (D), Chang Special Ability: TRIANGLE Sukeban: If you have 0 SP, gives 10 SP Comments: Can have its uses, but there are better cards to pack your deck with. Card Number: C142 Card Name: Yurika Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 5 Helpers: Ibuki, Nakoruru (S), Shingo Special Ability: None Comments: Nothing special, but OK stats Card Number: C143 Card Name: Kurow Rarity B BP: 800 SP: 5 Helpers: Yurika, Choi Special Ability: CIRCLE Sewage: This character is KOed at the beginning of your next turn, even more frustrating than Ayame Comments: Great stats, but a horrid ability, unless you've got some way to get rid of this power Card Number: C144 Card Name: Maki (Final Fight 2, Capcom vs SNK 2) Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 0 Helpers: Guy, Haggar Special Ability: /\ Competitive spirit: BP doubles if she is the only one on the ring Comments: She can be very helpful when played as the first card, or after using a bunch of AC cards and your SP is drained.

Comments: A VERY useful and annoying special ability wears down the enemy quite a bit. Card Number: C146 Card Name: Nemesis (Biohazard 3) Rarity C BP: 700 SP: 1 Helpers: Hugo, Griffon M Special Ability: None Comments: No special ability, but 700 BP makes him useful in a fight Card Number: C147 Card Name: Jill (M) Rarity S BP: 500 SP: 2 Helpers: Chris R, Regina Special Ability: SQUARE Handgun Discards one card, does 300 damage to another character or the enemy directly. Comments: This card has a pretty good ability, if you have lots of extra cards to toss, you can do some nice damage. Card Number: C148 Card Name: Rock (Mega Man from the Legends games) Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 2 Helpers: Roll, Roll (M) Special Ability: SQUARE Houken: Select a hand card and place it on the top of your opponent's pile. Then draw a card from the bottom of your opponent's pile. Comments: If your opponent has a good hand, this may be good, but otherwise, it's not that great. Card Number: C149 Card Name: Rock (M) Rarity S BP: 700 SP: 0 Helpers: Roll, Roll (M) Special Ability: SQUARE Rock Buster: KO's this character. Every other character takes 300 damage Comments: Fair ability gives him an effective way to go out with a bang, especially if you're outnumbered. Card Number: C150 Card Name: Roll Rarity C BP: 500 SP: 4 Helpers: Rock, Rock (M) Special Ability: SQUARE Operate: Returns one of your characters to the bottom of your deck. Comments: Not too great of an ability, because the character you bring back probably won't come back into play, unless you have a way of bringing that character to the front (such as Saki) Card Number: C151 Card Name: Roll (M) Rarity S BP: 500 SP: 3 Helpers: Rock, Rock (M) Special Ability: TRIANGLE Yobi Parts: Return a discarded RE card to your hand Comments: Good if you have used up a vital RE card, and want to use it again. Card Number: C152 Card Name: Tron Bonne Rarity C BP: 600 SP: 1 Helpers: Rosa, B.Jenet Special Ability: CIRCLE Otasuke Kobun Lets you draw 2 cards during each draw phase instead of one Comments: Good special power enables you to get more cards in your hand, and therefore more options in attacking. Card Number: C153 Card Name: Regina (Dino Crisis series) Rarity A BP: 300 SP: 5 Helpers: Saki Special Ability: CIRCLE Musenrenraku: Any card with 800BP or more returns to hand after this turn. Comments: That is a really great card. You can use it in combination with Terry B (S122) to build an anti high BP deck. Use it like you use Rimururu(C) (S138) by letting it stay in your ring, thus avoiding big crushers like Geese, Gouki etc. Card Number: C154 Card Name: Samanosuke (Onimusha series) Rarity B BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Ryoma, Kaede OM, Haohmaru (older, S141) Special Ability: TRIANGLE Oni no kote Look at the oppenent's hand.

Card Number: C157 Card Name: Son Son (Marvel vs Capcom 2 version) Rarity B BP: 300 SP: 2 Helpers: Tao, Lee Pylon, Mr Big Special Ability: TRIANGLE Bunshin If you have less hand cards than the opponent, draw cards until you're both equal. Comments: A good card to have if you're desperately in need of cards as a result of enemy attacks such as Andy or Stifler cards. Card Number: C158 Card Name: Amingo (Marvel vs Capcom 2) Rarity D BP: 400 SP: 5 Helpers: Dee Jay, Ruby Heart, Son Son Special Ability: None Comments: Good SP and fair BP makes him a pretty good D card. Card Number: C159 Card Name: Kikaioh (Kikaioh/Tech romancer) Rarity B BP: 1000 SP: 2 Helpers: Blodia, Fuuba (US Baby Head) Special Ability: TRIANGLE Fair Play: Both players show their hands and throw away any reaction cards. Card Number: C160 Card Name: Shin Gouki (Capcom vs SNK 2 version) Rarity A BP: 800 SP: 4 Helpers: Gouki, Rugal Special Ability: TRIANGLE Unruly Student Swap your deck with your discard pile, then shuffle your deck. Comments: You can only get this card by playing VS exhibition matches against another CFC2 player via a link cable. The chances of getting it are very scarce! Good combo with Last Resort. Maybe there's finally a good use for the No Tricks card now. ACTION CARDS Card Number: A001 Card Name: Fight! Shoma and Natsu - Rival Schools Rarity: D SP Cost: 2 Effect: Stop Freeze Phase for all characters in your ring Comments: Since you won't have many characters in your group with freeze when you can play it, it's not very useful to have. Unless you use [] powers first, then play it to recover your guys, then you can use the power or attack again Card Number: A002 Card Name: Lightning Dudley, from SF3 Rarity: D SP Cost: 2 Effect: Keeps your characters out of Freeze Phase for 1 turn, even after they attack Comments: A great card to use if you have some powerful guys on your side. Then they can attack and defend the opponent's next attack as well! Card Number: A003 Card Name: Double Kyo, King of Fighters Rarity: C SP Cost: 4 Effect: Keeps one enemy character frozen (while they are in freeze phase) for their next turn Comments: A pretty devious card. Keep a powerful attacker at bay while you hopefully come up with something better. Card Number: A004 Card Name: Puppet White - Real Bout Fatal Fury, Dominated Mind Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: Frees a character in Freeze Phase or puts a character into freeze phase. Comments: A very powerful card. Useful because you can freeze a guy then get in some free shots. Card Number: A005 Card Name: Escape William and Sherry Birkin - Resident Evil Rarity: D SP Cost: 3 Effect: Returns 1 of your cards to hand Comments: Play this sucker on a powerful guy that is almost gone. Then you can bring the guy back out at full strength. Another cool idea is to bring out a guy who can instantly take out an enemy, such as Akuma or Yashiro. Then, on the next turn, you can use Escape, then play that card again and take out the next chump that the enemy plays. Card Number: A006 Card Name: Peacemaker Tung Fu Rue - Fatal Fury (The hands are Terry and Andy) Rarity: C SP Cost: 6 Effect: Return one of yours and one of the enemy's characters to their respective hands Comments: 6 SP seems like a lot. Personally, I'd rather use escape. It costs half as much and plus only you get the benefit Razorclaw X sent in some strategy for this card, It's also useful in eliminating enemy characters from the bench to get in a free attack (within reason; don't use on characters like Akuma or heavy-hitters like Geese if they're severely hurt). The use is similar to Yashiro's power, only you have the opportunity to restore one of your own characters to full strength. Card Number: A007 Card Name: Reparation Mary, A pilot from Cyberbots (thanks to Mr. Kunio for this bit of info) Rarity: B SP Cost: 7 Effect: Returns 1 character to hand Comments: You can get rid of one of your guys (i.e. an expensive Escape card) or get rid of a powerful attacker. This can be useful to allow a big guy to get in a free hit. Card Number: A008 Card Name: School's Out Yuki, Kyo's Girlfriend in KOF (she is also a character in Gals Fighter) Rarity: A SP Cost: 8 Effect: Returns all characters to hand for both sides. Comments: Useful as a stall tactic when the opponent has a powerful set of guys out. Card Number: A009 Card Name: Cover Fire Rebecca and Chris - Resident Evil Rarity: D SP Cost: 4 Effect: Decreases 1 character's Life by 300 Comments: Pretty good card. Best used to finish off a guy with 300 or less BP. Then you can increase your attack options. You can also weaken A big hitter Card Number: A010 Card Name: Bopper Dan and his father, Go. Rarity: D SP Cost: 4 Effect: KO's one of your characters. The BP that they had left is given to an enemy character as damage. Comments: Use this to sacrifice a guy with only a few BP left, or on a bigger guy in order to take out one of their larger threats. Card Number: A011 Card Name: Chaos Rugal, King of Fighters Rarity: C SP Cost: 5 Effect: KO's one character. Decrease all other character's life 300 points. Comments: The only time I can see this card being useful is when you only have one or two guys out and the enemy has a full bench. Card Number: A012 Card Name: Grenade Super Joe (Commando - sent by Danyal) Rarity: C SP Cost: 5 Effect: Decreases enemy's life by 300 Comments: If you have 5 SP to spare, this card is quite useful. Direct damage is always a plus. Card Number: A013 Card Name: Mega Crush Plane from 1942 and Unknown Soldier (Forgotten Worlds) Rarity B SP Cost: 7 Effect: Decreases all characters' life 500 pts. Comments: Pretty powerful, but it can hurt you as much as it hurts the other guy. Can clear out a full enemy bench, but Slaughter is usually better for that purpose Card Number: A014 Card Name: Earth's Pike Final Boss from Last Blade 2 Kouryu Rarity B SP Cost: 8 Effect: Decreases enemy's life 500 pts. Comments: A more powerful grenade. Whether or not it's worth the extra points is up to you. Card Number: A015 Card Name: Break Up Geese's Bodyguards, Ripper and Hopper Rarity: D SP Cost: 4 Effect: KO's any character receiving back-up Comments: Could be useful in the right situation, but I'd save deck space and 4 SP for something else... Card Number: A016 Card Name: Nothingness Orochi - KOF97 Rarity: C SP Cost: 5 Effect: KO's all characters with 400 BP or less. Comments: Useful for cleaning up weak cards you may have. Personally though, I would rather keep weak characters on my enemy's bench and use Bopper or something to put my weakened guys to some use. Card Number: A017 Card Name: Double KO Lee Rekka - Last Blade and Yun (SF3) Rarity: C SP Cost: 6 Effect: KO's 1 of your characters and an enemy character. Comments: The souped up version of Bopper. Now you can kill off one of your weakened guys with 100-200 BP and take a 1000 point attacker down with em' Card Number: A018 Card Name: Seraphic W Gill, Street Fighter 3 Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: KO's all characters with 500 or more BP Comments: Can be very powerful if used right. Use it when the opponent has a lot of powerful guys in their ring, and you have jack squat. Card Number: A019 Card Name: Fate Duel Kyo and Iori Rarity: B SP Cost: 7 Effect: Select one of your characters and an enemy character. KO everybody else. Comments: A potentially powerful card. You can leave in a really powerful guy and leave the enemy with a chump. Card Number: A020 Card Name: Slaughter Art: Akuma Rarity: A SP Cost: 8 Effect: KO's all characters Comments: If the opponent has lots of powerful guys, and you have zilch, this is the perfect card to play. Card Number: A021 Card Name: Raw Shield Art: Nakoruru Rarity: D SP Cost: 1 Effect: KO's one character and heals you by the amount of BP they had. Comments: Well used on one of those goofy 200-300 BP but 5 SP guys. Then you can gain some SP AND Heal yourself a little bit. I wouldn't sacrifice a powerful guy to recover HP unless in a life or death situation. Card Number: A022 Card Name: Grace Dhalsim's Wife, Sally Rarity: C SP Cost: 5 Effect: Recover 500 HP Comments: How can you not like a card that enables you to regain HP. Can be a lifesaver if used right, or in a "stall" deck. Card Number: A023 Card Name: Abduction Amakusa, with Hazuki, the girl he kidnapped in SS4 in the background Rarity: C SP Cost: 0 Effect: KO's any of your characters that you want. Gain 2 SP for each KO'ed character. Comments: 2 SP seems like a pittance to gain for a KO'ed character. Better to use Raw Shield or something like that. Card Number: A024 Card Name: Psyche Up Batsu and Hayato from Rival Schools Rarity: B SP Cost: 0 Effect: Raise SP by 5 Comments: A nice card to have, but it's just as effective to use a character card that gives you 5 SP. Although you can use Psyche up and then a powerful card such as Geese who normally gives you no SP. Card Number: A025 Card Name: Hey! Hey! Ryo and Dan Rarity: B SP Cost: 3 Effect: Reduces both player's SP to 0. Comments: Best used to screw the opponent over when they have tons of SP, and you don't have so much. Card Number: A026 Card Name: Heritage Kasumi and her father Ryuhaku Todo (from the Art of Fighting) Rarity: D SP Cost: 0 Effect: KO's any characters you have. Draw 1 card for each KO'ed character Comments: I can't see any use for killing characters just to draw more cards, unless they are really weak. Card Number: A027 Card Name: Best Shot Ran (Rival Schools 2) and Megumi Rarity: D SP Cost: 1 Effect: See your top 3 cards. Choose 1 to add to hand and discard the other 2 Comments: Good if you need a strong guy in a pinch. Hopefully one is coming, Card Number: A028 Card Name: Lucky Kitty Pur and Fur, Capcom Mascot... she's a helper character in Marvel vs Capcom Rarity: C SP Cost: 3 Effect: Draw 2 cards Comments: This is a freebie card. You can get a few more cards to help in your game. One of the more useful AC cards Card Number: A029 Card Name: Round 2 Buriki girl (from Buriki One, a Japan exclusive HyperNeoGeo64 arcade game) Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: After discarding hand, draw 5 cards. Comments: Great to use if you have zilch in your hand and want to get some new stuff. If you have only one or two cards, use this, if you have a full hand Makeover is better Card Number: A030 Card Name: Awakening Kaede, Last Blade Rarity: C SP Cost: 3 Effect: Raises 1 character's BP by 300 Comments: This card can always be useful if played right. Use it to restore a weakened character OR build up a fighting monster Card Number: A031 Card Name: Morph The Ump and Wan-Fu (from Samurai Showdown) Rarity: C SP Cost: 5 Effect: Change's a character's BP to the top card of enemy's pile. (KO's character if Action Card is on top. Comments: I personally don't understand the meaning of this card. Maybe I'll use it sometime, then I can figure it out. Komejin has sent me a description and possible strategy for this card: Well, this is what the card does, and it's rather unreliable. You pick a character on the table (yours or opponent's) whose BP you want to change. Then you decide if you want the BP of the selected character to become the BP value of the card on top of your deck or the opponent's deck. This is why the card is so unreliable. In most situations, you don't know what card is on top of either deck, unless you've used some sort of AC card or character like Saki that lets arrange the top card on your deck. The only way to ensure that the card to be Morphed will have his BP reduced is if it's a super big card, like Geese, Krauser, Zero Akuma, or Mech Zangief. Here's an example of what I just said, just in case I'm too confusing. I see that my Elena only has 100 BP left. I want to Morph her to change her BP. I play Morph, select Elena, and then pick either my deck or my opponent's. - Let's say that I had Blodia on top of my deck, and I picked my deck. Elena's BP is now 1000, which is Blodia's BP value. - Or, let's say that Lee Pai Long was on top of the opponent's deck, and I picked my opponent's deck. Elena's BP is now 200 (yay...) - Or, let's say that an AC card was on top of my deck, and I picked my deck. Elena gets KO'ed (big suck). In short, this card is a gamble in most situations, unless you morph a heavy hitter on the opponent's side. P.Hwang's strategy: Basically you use the card, and if you arent satisfied with it, i.e you get someone with 200BP, then you can easily turn the game off, and back on again. the card will be unused and you will know not to use it at that time. Card Number: A032 Card Name: Showtime! Lilith, Darkstalkers Rarity: C SP Cost: 5 Effect: Raises all of your characters BP by 200 (that are in play) Comments: Quite useful, especially if you got some real strong guys in the ring Card Number: A033 Card Name: ESP Athena from the Athena RPG for PSX in Japan Rarity C SP Cost: 4 Effect: Choose 1 character with a [ ] ability. 1 of your characters gets that ability Comments: Useful to steal an ability that will come in handy, such as Ryu's Hadoken. Also can be used to ger rid of a crappy ability Card Number: A034 Card Name: Substitute Lei Lei and Lei Ling - Darkstalkers Rarity: B SP Cost: 4 Effect: Select characters with ability and switch their abilities Comments: Useful for taking away the enemy's powerful ability Here's a couple hints on using it from The Boom Balloon I found a few sneaky ways to use Substitute(A34): Besides the Ump, if you give an enemy Ukyo's power, they get one shot with that character and you get a good 700 BP card. You can block a Geese with a card at 100 BP and BOTH will KO. Another good one to try this with is Twelve. Substitute his ability to Geese, then attack with Twelve. If Geese blocks, his BP goes to 100! Card Number: A035 Card Name: Curse Mizuki, the final Boss from Samurai Showdown 2 Rarity: S SP Cost: 4 Effect: All characters get 1 ability found in this game Comments: This card may lead to untold chaos since who knows what each character will get... Card Number: A036 Card Name: Stifler Awakened Yuki from Last Blade 2 Rarity: C SP Cost: 3 Effect: See enemy's hand. Select one of their cards to trash Comments: If playing a powerful opponent, this card is useful. You can see what they have, then dump one of their best cards. Very effective, and low SP cost Card Number: A037 Card Name: Storm Rush Washizuka and Kojiro - Last Blade Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: Each player shows all Character cards to enemy that are in hand then discards them Comments: I'd only play this card if I had All crappy guys in my hand, then I Could toss em' and hope the opponent has to throw away some good guys. Card Number: A038 Card Name: Pride Seiger - Samurai Showdown Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: After player with most cards in hand discards all cards, they pick same number of cards as other player. Comments: A useful card to play when the opponent has a big hand. They'll have to throw away all their stuff and take less cards. Card Number: A039 Card Name: Mischief Effie, Necro's mutant girl-friend (not girlfriend ;) Rarity: D SP Cost: 1 Effect: After seeing the top 3 cards of either deck, you may arrange them in any order Comments: Not too useful, except maybe to see what is coming in the near future. Card Number: A040 Card Name: No Tricks Franco Bash, Fatal Fury Rarity: D SP Cost: 2 Effect: Discards all Action cards in deck. Shuffles deck after discard. Comments: Who's deck? Yours? The opponents? I don't really want to waste the time finding out. Komejin has said that it discards all of YOUR Action cards, making it basically a pile of junk. Card Number: A041 Card Name: Makeover Athena, King of Fighters Rarity: C SP Cost: 2 Effect: Returns all cards in hand to the pile. After pile is shuffled, draw number of cards equal to the number you put back plus 1. Comments: Good for throwing away a junk hand and starting over. Having one or two of these in your hand is a very good idea Card Number: A042 Card Name: Pester Rarity: C SP Cost: 4 Effect: Take up to 3 cards from enemy pile and discard them Comments: This card actually means take the top 3 cards from the enemy's deck and trash them. Komejin sent in the correction for me. It's still fairly useful for helping "deck" the opponent. Card Number: A043 Card Name: Management Hugo (Andore) and Poison - Final Fight Rarity: B SP Cost: 1 Effect: Select one Action card from pile. Shuffle pile and put the card you picked on top Comments: Useful to bring out an action card that suits your current needs Card Number: A044 Card Name: Last Resort Artwork on card: From Last Resort, the classic NeoGeo shoot'em up Rarity: A SP Cost: 8 Effect: Draw 5 cards from deck and arrange as desired. Throw everything else away. Comments: Why the hell would you use this? That's what I wondered, until I learned this trick. It was sent to me by komejin and Edison Franklin. Use it in combination with a laundry card. Then use last resort and pull out your 4 most powerful guys (with at least 4 SP) as well as a laundry card. Then play the laundry card to restore your entire deck! This is quite a useful combo if you can pull it off (though I haven't tried it myself) Card Number: A045 Card Name: Roulette Artwork on card: King, Art of Fighting Rarity: A SP Cost: 3 Effect: Changes top card on you or your opponent's deck to a different card.

Card Number: A050 Card Name: Emulate Sakura and Shingo Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: Select one AC card from enemy's discard pile. Has same effect as that Action Card. Comments: Unless the enemy has uses a great Action card, I can't think of a reason to throw away 6 SP on this. Card Number: A051 Card Name: Activate! Tron Bonne, Mega Man Legends Rarity: C SP Cost: 4 Effect: Allows you to play multiple backups on a character instead of just one. Comments: A useful card for any backup based deck.

Card Number: A055 Card Name: Indulge Devilot, Cyberbots Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: All character's BP becomes 200 Comments: I can't think of a good use for this card, since it screws you as much as the opponent.

Card Number: A056 Card Name: Glare off Mai and Chun Li Rarity: B SP Cost: 6 Effect: Disables your and your enemy's characters from attacking during this turn and your enemy's next turn.

Card Number: A057 Card Name: Shadow Shadow (secret character in Vampire Savior who would turn into the guy you just beat for the next match) Rarity: A SP Cost: 5 Effect: Change one character to another in the game (Discard backups) Comments: I haven't used this card yet, but if it means what I think it does, imagine the power. Change your weakest bum into Geese... or Ryu... or some other master of destruction. That's what I thought anyway, this card changes the character into someone at random. Not too useful if you ask me. Card Number: A058 Card Name: Tri Quiz Artwork: Neo & Geo from Quiz detective. Also hidden striker in KoF2000 Rarity: A SP Cost: 5 Effect: Choose Grenade, Grace, or Showtime. Card has that effect. Comments: Useful in that you can choose the power you need at that time.

At the end of this turn, you get another one. Comments: Can be very useful or screw you over royally, depending on how it's used.

Card Number: A060 Card Name: Dregs Terry and Ryu Rarity: A (You get this card when you win the game) SP Cost: 15 Effect: Shuffle pile after all hand cards are returned. During this turn Discards become hand cards.

Comments: To get this card, put Mr. Big, M. Bison and Balrog and Krizalid in a trade machine. With enough SP and cards in your hand, this can be pretty nasty. Lots of possibilities with a hand full of Fight! cards (only 2 SP each too!). All you need to quickly deck your opponent are 2x Jhun Hoon, 8 Fight! cards and 16 SP. Add in an Athena or Kyosuke and you don't even have to worry about SP.

Comments: Get this card by putting 8 Option cards (C095) in the trade machine. ===== 8. Dreamcast connection FAQ a. Versus games In the Battle menu the second and third options are respectively - Link exhibition match - Link deathmatch Link exhibition lets you play Card Fighters 2 against a friend, mainly for fun. The winner will get one random card. Link deathmatch is more tense, you will still battle your friend, but this time the winner will get a random cards from the loser's deck (not album). The player who lost will be asked to take a card from his album to fill the empty card slot left by the lost card. b. Dreamcast connection DC connection will be enabled once you finish the game, and will unlock the secret stages and characters in Capcom vs SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001 for Dreamcast. To establish connection between the two consoles, power on CFC2, then go to VS.Net and start the DC Connection. Then turn on your Dreamcast with Capcom vs SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001. A yellow text will appear during the boot sequence of the game, and every option (on the Dreamcast) will be unlocked. (EX Grooves, Extra Options, Shin Gouki and God Rugal). This will NOT, however, unlock Shin Gouki or God Rugal cards on CFC2. ===== 9. Secrets & Nifty things TRADE MACHINE COMBOS Some cards are obtained by putting certain combos of cards in the trade machine. Here are some trade machine combos: * To get A064, use Mr. Big, M. Bison and Balrog and Krizalid in a trade machine. * Put 2 Karin (C031) cards and 2 Sakura cards in a trade machine will give you a Reset Button (A059) action card. A RARITY SHOP Kidou will start trading A rarity cards in the TRADE SHOP once you have obtained 70% (296/424) of the cards. BARGAIN SHOP After any battle, you have a 1/128 chance (0.78%) chance that the bargain shop will open its doors by going to the Trade Shop, VS.NET menu. During bargain sales, you will be able to get rare cards for a very low 'price'. For example a contributor got a Ryu card in exchange for 3 C rarity cards. The bargain shop also has a 1/64 (1.55%) chance of opening after everytime you beat your brother Kidou. This only works once you've beaten the game. And the shop only stays open until your next fight. SECRET CARDS * You can get Chizuru from the Card store (Bargain shop). She appears at a frequency of 0.78% (equivalent to about once every 128 times). * Getting Shin Gouki (C160) and GOD Rugal (S160) can be done through VS cable link battles. Don't know if it works for both Exhibition and Deatmatch VS, or only Deathmatch. SHOP AND RECYCLE BIN When getting a card from the those, resetting your NGP will not 'cancel' an eventual unlucky draw. the cards you put in/exchange are lost forever. MASSIVE ENDING UNLOCK Check out the storyline section to see what finishing the game unlocks in the game. RADIO DOWSING This option becomes available from the VS.NET menu once you clear the game by beating Sys for the first time. You will only be able to use it properly if you own the NGP radio communication system (it's kinda like the VS link cable, but it's wireless since it uses radio waves to transmit data). What it does it sample the ambiant radio waves through the NGP radio communication unit (which is very random since it depends on your geographical location) and averages the 31 sample values. It averages those values, adds 1 to this average, and gives you a card Cxxx or Sxxx where xxx is the result of the average+1. This is a just plain weird option. RESET TRICK In CFC1,when you turned off the game during a match, turning it back on would take you back one turn, and what the computer would do was immuable. Now, the computer CHANGES what it does, you can't watch his turn, turn off the game, then know for sure what he'll do next time you turn the game back on. If you want to give up a game to make your stats looks good, turn off the NGP during a match, then back on. In the menus choose the right, then the left option, and you will be taken back to the CFC2 main menu, and you will not be 'credited' with a defeat.

You can also get it from Ravengames in the UK (http://www.ravengames.co.uk).
