Cheats & Guides

The King of Fighters 2002 Cheats For Arcade Games

  1. Orochi Versions of Sherimie, Chris and Yashiro

    Just hold down start on them at the Character Selection Screen. This is better than having to use some power stocks to transform in battle with the normal versions.

    Contributed by: KyoKusanagi 

  2. Omega Rugal's Kaiser Wave glitch

    If KOF 2002 is very hard to finish, because of a character hard to beat, use this cheat:
    When you are playing as Rugal, you must input his Kaiser Wave command: forward, back, back+down, down, forward+down, forward & then press A or C buttons, and in the same time, the opponent had to make a forward roll, Rugal will deal a big damage on the opponent, I don't know if this glitch occurs in the Dreamcast, PS2 & XBOX versions, but try it!

  3. Play as Rugal Bernstein

    The black box besides Yashiro actually hide him, you have to: - press left from Yashiro or, - down from Daimon or, - up form Vice His picture will appear but the cursor doesn't, so just select him if you want.

  4. Choose your winning pose

    To get a specific winning pose, simply press one button just after beating the opponent.

  5. NESTS Team

    If you fight through ''Team Play'' or ''Single Play'' Modes without losing a single round or get a perfect win in at least two rounds against every team, at Stage 6 you will fight Kula Diamond. If only lose one or two rounds against a few teams, you will fight K9999. If lose at least one round and do not get any perfect wins against any team, you will fight Angel.

  6. Random team select

    At the character selection screen, place your cursor on any character except the OROCHI team (Yashiro, Shermie, Chris) and press and hold the start button. You will enter the random select mode. Push the joystick UP while holding the start button, and the random select will be in original teams instead of characters.
