Help with the game

First of all, let me introduce myself. I’m Ekco_Star and I’m very new to fighting games in the sense of being above button mashing. I just recently purchased Capcom vs SNK 2: Mark of the Millenium for the PS2, and am learning and slowly progressing. I have a few questions to ask.

#1. How the hell do I fight Shin Akuma? Every time I go through Ratio Mode or the other mode (Can’t remember what it’s called,) I always end up fighting Ult. Rugal, Rugal, or Akuma. I know how to fight the final bosses, but why does Ult. Rugal always show up? I really want to obtain Shin Akuma for completion pruposes.

#2. How come I can never combo properly? I always see people playing as Akuma or something, doing a Hurricane kick to Shoruken(sp) and combo it all, but when I try, I can never get anything. Any tips?

Thanks for your help in advance,
Ekco_Star

Ah okay, just luck then, thank you. Thank you for the info on the Akuma combo. I’m just trying to learn combo’s myself right now and just see how it all works. I’m still really bad at the game, seeing I’ve only owned it for about a week now.

youtube is also your friend! :slight_smile:

For combos, you need to understand how and why they work (whether it’s a cancel, link, juggles, etc). Go to GameFaqs.com and read jchensor’s systems guide, it has very detailed info about combos, from basics to advanced stuff.
