But need to know the exact amount when playing the game in various modes and difficulty settings. The harder the level, the more points you'll earn. Expert level nabs you around 800 to 1000 over points. Stages A few new stages in 3D. they scroll for a little before each match begins. Some are even linked such as the Sewer stage and the Sewer Lift stage. Eg. After you finish a fight in the Sewer stage, a gate will close. Then the platform is actually the Sewer Lift you are standing on. More updates on this later. New Strikers You will start the game with only two new strikers, Seth and Vanessa. The rest have to be earned and opened up as you go along. The points you earn during the game are used to open up the new extra strikers. There are a total of 10 new strikers in the game with 8 of them having Justice and Dark variations. Only Seth and Vanessa has only one striker type. This brings the total of new striker types up to 18!! Here's the order of unlocking the strikers and the points needed to unlock them. 1. Default 2 strikers are Seth and Vanessa. Now unlock the other Justice version strikers for Kyo SP, Daimon, Chizuru, Athena, Billy and Yamazaki for 800 points each. 2. Then Justice versions of Fio and Alfred will appear. They both costs 2000 points each. 3. Now the Dark versions of the first 6 strikers will appear for unlocking. Points needed?? 4. Then the last two to appear will be Dark versions of Fio and Alfred. Here's what they do when called into play. Seth – Dives in ala Clark striker. If hit, he does an uppercut which juggles. If not, he moves forward a little and does a two hit uppercut. Vanessa – Comes in with a dashing straight punch. If connected, it hits for five. Last hit is a launcher. Miscellaneous The game could have more secrets. It has a timer that tracks down how many hours you clock on the game. No idea what other hidden stuff though. The game also contains a screensaver mode for your tv. Just leave a game playing halfway in a match for a few minutes and it will come on. Cool feature. Credits SNK Japan – For making such a kickass version. Henry Woo – For trying out some stuff. All of you for reading!! HERMAN (MUNSTER)
