Fight longer
and better While in a match against the CPU, try to keep some distance
between you and your opponent. This gives the CPU opponent less
chances to grapple and slam you to the ground. Keep a good
distance and block as often as possible. Attack when you get the
chance and get out of there as soon as you can. You may still
lose but if you practice this technique you will win. Your
battles will last a little longer so you may want to set the
timer to infinite.
Law:
Partner attack When playing as Law
have Lei or Howrang as your partner. When you are Law, press
Forward,
Triangle,
Square and
press Tag as
soon as you can. Lei or Howrang will automatically run and do a

versus Player 2 mode, and keep fighting with different
characters. After awhile, characters will start to be available.
Keep doing this until every locked character is available, then
save the game. In order to leave this mode without losing all
the characters, you have to exit during a battle by pressing
Start
and exiting to the main menu. Then, go to options and save.
Devil
and Kazuya: Cross-transformation Get Kazuya and Devil
into your tag team. When you have them tag, instead of running
off the screen they will transform into one another. The bad
side of this is that you cannot tag on the ground. However, if
you are up close to your enemy, they will be thrown backwards,
giving you time to switch.
After you transform, the lightning will go for shorter than a
second. The CPU opponent will know this is not part of the
transformation, but some human opponents will not know. Press
1
+ 2
as soon as you can after you transform to Devil.

wait for the fight to begin. At the beginning, Heihachi should

as your foes. When you go in you can pull off any hit combos,
make sure your opponents do not fall over. If they do, the hit
combo will stop counting and start again.
Kazuya: Transform into Devil Access Kazuya Mishima and Devil. Choose Kazuya first and
Devil second. When the fight starts, you will be Kazuya, but not
Devil. When needed in the fight, press
Tag. Lighting
will form around Kazuya and he will transform into Devil.
King:
Easier chain-link combos "Buffering" is a
really useful technique for pulling off some of his ridiculously
difficult chain-link combos. This technique is preformed by
holding down a button(s) in the current button combination if
that same button(s) is used in the next combination while
pressing any additional required buttons in the next
combination. For example, if one of the combos requires you to
press Square
+ X, then
X +
Circle, to
"buffer" this combo press
Square +
X, then while
holding X,
press Circle.
Also keep in mind you can buffer multiple buttons. It seems very
difficult but it is much easier than it sounds and makes things
really easy. Try studying all of kings chain-link combos and you
will notice you can "buffer" almost all of them at a certain
point in many different ways. Another helpful tip is to program
the four shoulder buttons with different button combos such as
LP +
RP,
LK +
RK,
LP +
LK, and
RP +
RK. You will
notice that these combinations are the basis of almost all of
his combos.
