Your Best Team And Tactics For Facing Team Orochi's Second Coming In KOF '97?

Normally I am a very strong player with Terry, but when fighting Chris, I get clobbered by him if I stay on the ground. His speed makes him a problem. I try to keep Terry in the air or attacking on the ground, if I sit idle on the ground at all, the CPU Chris just tears into me.

If I am using Mai, I have no problem against him though. Her speed makes it easy to jump in with a quick attack, forcing the CPU into a block, then allowing me to use the "C" button throw. Harder to do on Shermie though and that damn kiss of hers. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Yashiro, despite being the biggest, is generally not a problem regardless of who I use. I tend to fare better with Terry than Mai, and better with Mai than Ryo, who is generally my preferred back-up.

TO ME, CHRIS IS NO PROBLEM, ITS YASHIRO THAT GETS ME!
UNLESS IM USING BENIMARU IN WHICH CASE I DO HIS GROUND CYCLONE LEG THING OVER AND OVER AND YASH BITES THE DUST......

CHRIS I FIND IS EASILY HAMMERED WITH A JUMPING ATTACK OVER HIS FIREBALL ATTACK, A QUICK COMBO, THEN DASH BACK WHEN HES ON THE GROUND *REPEAT*

A GOOD TRICK FOR SHERMIE IS TO STAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, DO A LIGHT ATTACK, THEN DASH AS SHE DOES HER KISS FIREBALL, ROLL THRU AND THEN DELIVER A NICE KICK PUNCH OR WHATEVER......

NOW YASHIRO, GAWD, I DONT KNOW WHICH WAY TO BLOCK WITH THAT FREAK ON THE LOOSE, LEFT RIGHT UP DOWN BEHIND, I NEVER FIRE BALL HIM BECAUSE "YUP" AND HES GOT A KICK, SPECIALMOVE THEN IF HES FEELING NASTY, HELL ADD A SUPER TO SOUR THE PUNISHMENT......

YASHIROS VERY OFFENSIVE DEFENCE, WHICH MAKES HIM MY PICK FOR THE NFT OROCHI TO BEAT.......

IVE ALWAYS BEEN BETTER AT FIGHTING THE FAST ONES THAN THE REALLY STRONG ONES.....

AND HAVING ATHENA AND MAI ON THE TEAM HELP, OR KIM OR BENIMARU, OR RYO, OR ROBERT OR TERRY OR KING........THE LIST GOES ON <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I use Billy Kane and Yamazaki when dealing with any of the Orochi's (both have attacks to keep them at a distance). Both, however, are acquired tastes. You can't just throw Billy's staff the entire match.

Usually with Billy, I'll throw an extending staff (weak A one) first. If it connects, then I'll follow up with a few low B's, a standing A, and then a Red Lotus Requium. But most likely, it won't connect so they'll block and dash towards you. I'll do a Red Lotus Requium (the A one unless you know FOR SURE it will connect), and then the B version of his jumping staff attack. Usually they block this as well, but if they do, you can go for the straddle (with Billy's staff) or the throw, or you can combo, as you're in deep at that point.

Just what I do, but Billy does take practice to use effectively.

Man its not problem to me i can beat orochi team for all characters. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

My team of choice in 97 is Iori (Normal), Clark, and Yashiro (Normal)

Pick Iori first and go apeshit on Chris, shouldn't be too difficult.

Shermie, If she has any power stocks I advise you stay away, good chance she'll do her 'Benimaru rip-off' DM. Keep throwing dark thrusts or QCBx3 when she blows kisses at you.

Yashiro, I have trouble with him sometimes cuz he likes doing his 'throw you around like a rag doll' DM. But you should be able to handle him if you keep your distance.
