What are all the options on the main menu?

The main menu has had an upgrade since CGoH. This is the new main menu in UAS:

• Arcade Mode
• Versus Mode
• Survival Mode
• Time Attack Mode
• Training Mode
• Play Data Mode
• Options Mode
• Shop Mode
• Gallery Mode
• Extra Game-(This is unlocked when you beat Arcade mode and collect the yellow letters to make out the message: "Thank You For Playing" during the credits. You can collect these yellow with either Doronjo and her crew (on a bike-they jump), or with Roll (she flies on the screen with her broom. In order to use Roll in the credits, beat Arcade Mode with Roll).
• Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Mode-You MUST be connected to the internet in order to play people online. You can either with a router (you can find that online; this is the recommended option) or with Wi-Fi wireless (not recommended).

This is in order. When you hit the start button at the title screen, you are highlighting Arcade Mode.

What is the in-game shop for?

Similar to Marvel V.S. Capcom 2, the more times you play Arcade Mode, Extra Game Mode, Survival Mode, or Time Attack Mode, the more points you earn. In Shop Mode, you can buy artwork, colors three and four for all the characters (note: you must beat Arcade Mode in order to get the additional colors--example: if you want Ryu's 3rd and 4th colors, beat Arcade Mode with Ryu; a message should appear after you beat Arcade Mode with Ryu. Once you get the message, the colors for Ryu should be available for purchase), movies, and information about the roster and the stages.

How do I unlock the hidden characters in this game?

There are five Hidden Characters. They are:

• Capcom Side:
  • Frank West
  • Zero
• Tatsunoko Side:
  • Joe the Condor
  • Tekkaman Blade
  • Yatterman-2

Here is how to unlock them:

• Capcom Side:
• Beat Arcade Mode with three different Capcom characters to unlock Frank West
• Beat Arcade Mode with six different Capcom characters to unlock Zero.

• Tatsunoko Side:
• Beat Arcade Mode with three different Tatsunoko characters to unlock Tekkaman Blade.
• Beat Arcade Mode with six different Tatsunoko characters to unlock Joe the Conder.

If you want to unlock them quickly then:

right click on TVC in the dolphin menu > Properties> Gecko Codes > click Add new Code, Name : Unlock Extra Characters, past this Code:

043EBA84 FFFFFFFF 
043EBA88 F9FFFBFF

043EBA94 FFBFDFFF 

Then make sure the gecko code is actually checkmarked.

Alternatively download a full save file and import the save.

Are Giants Banned?

• In the early 2010s, the giants were softbanned, which was a case by case basis, but as of right now giants have no bans against them.

• This has lead to the "Phampy Clause", which allows a character change under these two specific scenarios

1. If Player A has already chosen their characters before Player B and Player B choses a giant, then player A gets the opportunity to reselect their characters.
2. As well, if player A and B play a match using non-giants and player A loses their match and goes to character select and choses a giant, then player B is allowed to change their team.

Are any stages banned?

• If playing on original Wii Hardware it's highly recommended to stay on Training stage and at the very least avoid Burning Wasteland/Orbital Cargo Bay
• On Dolphin all stages are acceptable, but Burning Wasteland is soft banned as it causes issues with players who suffer from color blindness as some characters and effects blend into the background. There is also some discrepancy depending on the user's own CPU hardware that may cause players to request to stay on Training Stage to maintain 60FPS but this is a case by case basis.

What are the changes in UAS coming from the previous version of CGOH?

Saki Omokane

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
Level 3 super is more powerful as is the beam super. 5C is now cancellable. J.C is also cancellable allowing her to control space very well with J.C xx 421+A/B/C. The unblockable version of 5C can be cancelled into 3C for some very damaging aerial raves 6C causes the opponent to stagger step and combos into her 214+A/B/C grab. Her assist has not been changed to follow this pattern. Her assist know knocks the opponent all the way back across the stage, allowing some characters like Ken to make good use of it.	The unblockable bullet chain (Unblockable 5C - 5C - 2C) now does around 15,000B damage as opposed to 18,000B damage. Her lingering sphere shot no longer stays out for as long as before, meaning no infinite.	Fire effect added to grenade (visual)

Batsu

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral

Kaijin no Soki/Kaijin no Souki

PTX-40A

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
All versions of Riot Tackle cause wallbounce from full screen 6B4B sends the opponent into a vertical spin and knockdown, having the properties of a launcher. It is also more powerful than before. Riot tackles can combo from 6B4B 5C can be comboed into via 5B [2]8B and C chainsaw special knocks down on hit. A version does not. 623AB chainsaw super is much stronger, though still unsafe on hit or block 3C launches the opponent at a less vertical height and is faster many more options to combo into level 3 many more combo options in general can combo AFTER level 3 super while the opponent is on the ground using 2C, since the launch time is now greater. May even be able to combo the opponent on the way down. j.5C will combo all 5 hits if done on an airborn opponent jumps with the opponent on a break out, making grabs safe to attempt. Attacks that use the shield (such as riot tackle or 2A) have auto-guard properties. If he is hit during these states he doesn't take damage	No more mega crash grabs Rocket has been slightly nerfed. It takes longer for them to home in.	Fire effect added to all thruster attacks (visual)

Jun the Swan

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
Her assist leaves a bomb on hit now Can combo after landing the light illusion swan special (in a recent video, this seems to have been revoked, however she attempted to combo using j.5C and missed. Strange.) Can combo 2C into 6C easily	None	None

623 C combos easily into 623 super.	None	None

Casshan/Casshern

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
Denkou punch B version causes stagger on hit	unblockable takes longer to charge	Electricity effect added to his electrical attacks (visual)

Karas

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
[4]6B > 236A > 6B is now a 3 hit combo on an airborn opponent. The 6B comes out with no delay. This means he can now wallslam at will without needing to use the chain. + Can combo from 63214A/B/C > 236A wall slam attack. He can pick the opponent up off the ground when they bounce after the hit.	236A sword spin special is slightly slower. The difference is barely noticable but it's there. Slide infinite is removed 5C has more lag 2C has more lag 5B may have less range	None

Tekkaman/Tecknoman

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
Charge 46+A moves across the screen VERY quickly now. As fast, as, if not faster than, Ryu’s 236+C. All hits of his chargeback Space Lance throw can now combo into Vol Tekka beam super Vol Tekka beam super deals more damage If Vol Tekka beam super is used in the air, Tekkaman's recovery time as he falls has been improved.	Due to the change in the pursuit speed, 3C /\ J.B - 28+C - 28+C no longer works. Modifying the air combo slightly may fix this. 'Make it rain' super deals less damage 3C's hitbox has been made smaller	None

IPPATSUMAN

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
Ippatsuman’s 623+Attack has same properties as Ken’s 623+B/C. Ippatsuman’s dash~623+attack has same properties as Ken’s 623+B/C. He still has a useful reset combo: launch, j.A, j.A, j.B, j.B, 7, j.A, jA, j.C, 623 Super.	Several resets actually combo now (examples: charge back, forward+C, 623 super; air combo, j.A, j.A, j.B, j.B, 7, j.A, j.B, j.C, 623 super) which means his damage scales more and he won't be doing as much damage. his level 3 now eats up meter a lot faster.	None

DORONJO

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
214+Attack seems a lot faster. The rock comes out very quickly. 623+Attack is faster as well. jumping rock summon starts lower and therefore hits faster Her moves now do more damage. Probably to accommodate her combo nerfs.	2B has less hit stun, making her attack strings less safe J.B got nerfed. Has lesser range and the mid-screen re-jump (B) combo no longer works. Its harder to land 423+B when the opponent is jumping in now. You have to dash towards their position and do the far grab to land the Grab-Tree-Taunt loop. her tree takes longer to explode	None

YATTERMAN-1

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
Combos 2C to 6C with ease. Yatterpellican has been replaced with Yatterwan for 2P colour	2C has a smaller hitbox 623+A/B/C all have more recovery harder to combo into OTG Yatterwan fire breath super	None

Polimar/Polymar

Buffs	Nerfs	Neutral
On airborne opponents, 236+Attack hits much like the assist version of the attack, thus allowing for easier comboing into charge 46+A and 623+attack, attack, attack. Has no knock away on airborne enemies. 6C has less knock away and allows easier comboing of 623+attack, attack, attack. Can combo into all charge 46 A/B/C specials and can dash after Can combo into his level 3 super off 5C. Either 5C has more stun time or his level 3 super comes out faster.	None	None
