Alright thanks. Also, what's her DM move where it's  and she makes a pose?

She doesn't have a move with that motion.

Hey guys, this is a update from the following post: http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=62.msg65665#msg65665

Over the past few months, a lot of pages have been edited with information added, especially now since 2002UM on steam is out. We have also added quick movelists at the top of each page. Further information are in the move descriptions (like Super Cancel properties, etc).

Here is a list of pages that need some attention:

Vice (needs quick movelist)
Athena (needs normals, and movelist descriptions
Sie Kensou (needs combos)
Ramon (needs combos)
Shermie (currently empty)
Whip (currently empty)
Foxy (needs combos)
Leona (needs more details on normals)
Ryuji Yamazaki (empty)
Blue Mary (empty)
Heidern (empty)
Takuma (more info on normals, throws, and combos)
Chin (empty)
Mai (needs normals, more info on specials, DMs, etc)
EX Kensou (needs combos)
EX Takuma (needs more info on normals, throws, and needs combos)

Beyond that, things are looking good. We have been working on this since late 2010 and progress has been steady but good. Good-ups to everyone that has contributed!

EDIT: March 12

Hey guys, I got permission from steam player Ken from Canada (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198159315768) to use these guides (Chinese I think) that have nice animated gif's of combos and setups to add them to our wiki!

Here is an example of a page using the gif's:
http://dreamcancel.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kula_Diamond_(2k2UM)

Just two on a page is fine. Just easiest, and most simple combos to get people started, then if you want to view more, they can go to the site at the bottom of the page. I will take care of uploading these.

If anyone here wants to add these images to character threads here with the notation we use here, feel free.

So I found this dumb glitch mixup with Iori and Angel involves their 2 primary crossups, b+B for Iori and d+D for Iori and Angel respectively. Also Kyo too with his J. d C.

If you guard them and they do those moves while super jumping or regular jump in the corner, they will corner crossup. Kyo is the exception in where he can hop/hyperhop and do it. I don't know if it's an actual real crossup if you have to reverse the direction you're already blocking because I haven't recorded the dummy and tried to block it myself, but it seems strong, especially with dps since in most cases with everybody, dps tend to move away from the corner, making them whiff.

I dared my aging PS2 running a bit after remembering Saisyu is in KOF Neowave, and man I love the unusual art direction in this game. Playing a KOF with artworks by the same artist from Power Instinct feels positively weird, and the soundtrack is one of the finest examples of "while playing unfitting music" I've ever heard, so cleverly out of place.
Having only played practice till now, I can't say almost anything about gameplay, but I find "special into special" canceling in Super Cancel mode so fun, just like in any other KOF allowing it. It really makes you feel like discovering all the possibilities. I wonder if I'll find the other modes as fun as Super Cancel :D (Max2 mode almost sounds cheap to me, although it removes almost any defensive system).
Last but not least, did I mention Saisyu? One of my favorite KOF characters ever LOL
