******************************************************************

Setup: This acts as the game's option menu.  Here the player can 
select from the six difficulty levels, round time, stage, auto 
power, music, and more.

Tourney: This is the meat of the game.  First, the player must 
choose Single, Tag, or Team Battle.  Single pits a single fighter 
against the perils of combat.  Tag allows two fighters to work 
together and "tag" back forth, ala Capcom's Versus series.  
Finally, Team Battle allows King of Fighters style threesomes to 
battle it out.  After choosing how many fighters to play with,
the combatants will face several foes leading up to the showdown 
with Geese and Bison and beyond.  The storyline depends on the 
affiliation of the first character chosen, SNK or Capcom.

Olympic: Characters compete in various SNK, Capcom, or mutual 
events.  See the Olympic Mode section for further details.

Sparring: Players can practice their moves in this mode on a 
willing opponent.

Vs Mode: This mode requires two Neo Geo Pockets.  When in this 
mode, two players can compete against each other.  This is also 
where several of the link up features appear.  See the Linking 
section for more details on this.

Entry: Here the player can take a character, tag team, or full 
team and fully customize them.  Options include character(s), 
victory sayings, music, and team name.

Record: Choose this option to see the scores and milestones that 
the player has achieved, such as medals and won/loss record.


Fighting Styles: There are three unique fighting styles that must
be picked from.
  Average: Two levels of the super meter can be filled by 
           performing attacks.
  Counter: Attack strength an be raised through using special 
           attacks.  This allows the use of Super Impact Blasts,
           leading to critical hits.
  Rush: Three levels of the super meter are filled by Chain 
        Combos, however, only one of those levels can be used at 
        a time.
