''SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium'' is a four-button fighter. Pressing the A button will make a player perform a punch attack, while pressing the B button will make a character perform a kick attack. The length of the button press determines the strength of the punch or kick. Lightly tapping the button performs weak attacks while pressing a button down performs strong attacks. Like in many other fighting games, the joystick is used to move the character about (back and forward denoting the direction relative to your opponent), and holding back as an attack hits you will make your character block an attack.

Note, though, that if the ABLE option in the Battle Config menu, in Set Up mode, is set to ON, it will take a single joystick move, combined with the punch/kick button, to trigger special moves. For example, '''qcf''' commands will be made only by pressing the button while pushing forward on the joystick. Super moves in this mode do require motions like these, but only once instead of twice, as if a special move would be performed. | Note, though, that if the ABLE option in the Battle Config menu, in Set Up mode, is set to ON, it will take a single joystick move, combined with the punch/kick button, to trigger special moves.

Revision as of 02:44, 27 September 2007
The main game of SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium allows you to choose a particular style of match and a particular style of play. You can either fight as a single, a tag team, or a team of three, and you can choose from Average, Counter, and Rush Modes. The character story and the midboss you face is solely determined by the first character you select.
When fighting as a single, you will have to beat an opponent in a best-of-three match. As a tag team, you will have the use of two characters who can tag each other in and out at will, in the objective of knocking out both members of the opposing tag team. As a team of three, when one character is knocked out, the next takes its place, until all three members are knocked out.
Basic Controls
SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium is a four-button fighter. Pressing the A button will make a player perform a punch attack, while pressing the B button will make a character perform a kick attack. The length of the button press determines the strength of the punch or kick. Lightly tapping the button performs weak attacks while pressing a button down performs strong attacks. Like in many other fighting games, the joystick is used to move the character about (back and forward denoting the direction relative to your opponent), and holding back as an attack hits you will make your character block an attack. To temporary pause or resume the game, press the OPTION button.
To simplify matters, a simple joystick notation will be used throughout the guide: u for "up", d for "down", b for "back", f for "forward", LP for "Light Punch", HK for "Heavy Kick", P for either LP or HP, K for either LK or HK, and PK for both buttons being pressed at the same time. A comma (",") is used to perform joystick motions in a sequence, and a + used to tap a joystick direction and press a specified button (or buttons) at the same time.
In order to save time, the following abbreviations will also be used:
- qcf - "quarter circle forward", or d,df,f
- qcb - "quarter circle backward", or d,db,b
- hcf - "half circle forward", or b,db,d,df,f
- hcb - "half circle backward", or f,df,d,db,b
- 360 - to rotate the joystick a full circle, starting in any direction. Multiples of 360 may be used to denote multiple full circles.
- dp - "dragon punch", or f,d,df
- rdp - "reverse dragon punch", or b,d,db
- * - "charge": to hold a direction for a short amount of time (usually for two seconds)
Note, though, that if the ABLE option in the Battle Config menu, in Set Up mode, is set to ON, it will take a single joystick move, combined with the punch/kick button, to trigger special moves. For example, qcf commands will be made only by pressing the button while pushing forward on the joystick. Super moves in this mode do require motions like these, but only once instead of twice, as if a special move would be performed.
Average Mode
Average Mode allows a user to store up to two levels of power. When one level is accumulated, a super combo may be performed. When two levels are accumulated, a MAX super combo may be performed instead of normal super combos. When a super combo, normal or MAX, is performed, the gauge empties completely. Average Mode is perhaps the most familiar to fans of Street Fighter.
| Dash | f,f |
| Backstep | b,b |
| Taunt | PK |
| Knockdown Recovery | PK when knocked down |
| Guard Counter | f+PK while blocking |
Counter Mode
Counter Mode allows a user to manually charge their super combo gauge. When the gauge is full, a super combo may be performed. However, when the life bar begins flashing, a super combo may be performed even if the super combo gauge is full. When both the life bar is flashing and the gauge is full, a MAX super combo may be performed instead of normal super combos. Like Average Mode, once a super combo, normal or MAX, is performed, the gauge empties completely. Fans of The King of Fighters should feel right at home when using this mode.
| Backstep | b,b |
| Taunt | PK |
| Guard Counter | f+PK while blocking |
| Dodge | f+PK |
| Dodge Attack | P or K |
| Power Builder | d+PK (hold to charge super combo gauge) |
Rush Mode
Rush Mode allows the use of various chain combos, as seen in Darkstalkers. In Rush Mode, you can store three stocks of power, just like the Advanced mode in KOF 97 and 98, as well as the standard for the 96 and 99 onwards editions. A stock of power can be used to perform a super combo, but unlike Average and Counter Modes, will not completely drain the super combo gauge. However, MAX super combos cannot be performed.
| Run | f,f (hold f to continue moving forward) |
| Backstep | b,b |
| Taunt | PK |
| Knockdown Recovery | PK when knocked down |
| Guard Counter | f+PK while blocking |
Other Notes
In addition to the commands for the mode chosen, tag teams also have these moves:
| Switch | b+PK |
| Guard Cancel Switch | b+PK while blocking |
- Regardless of the mode, a Guard Counter or a Guard Cancel Switch will use some super combo gauge energy.
