i have a nasty habit of not knowing how to play some of the cast so i'll probably separate this post into a bunch of smaller posts for a couple of teams each.

(also this strangely seems to have 58 unique views, lol)

Ohyeah speaking of teams since we'd be going with the whole 4v4 thing	the teams selectable in team random/arcade mode AI teams would have to be changed around. I'm not sure if the select screen will factor into this as well, however. Some have 5 or more characters, this means that it'll be random as to which chars are chosen and which sit out. Some characters are in more than 1 team as well.

TEAMS:

Kyo/Benimaru/Goro/Shingo (Team Japan)
Terry/Andy/Joe/Blue Mary/Mai (Team Fatal Fury)
Athena/Kensou/Bao/Chin (Psycho Soldier)
Ralf/Clark/Leona/Heidern/Whip (Ikari)
Kim/Chang/Choi/May Lee/Jhun Hoon (Korea)
Ryo/Robert/Yuri/Takuma/King (Art of Fighting)
Yashiro/Shermie/Chris/Yamazaki (97' Special)
Yuri/Mai/King/May Lee (2002 Womens' Team)
---
K/Maxima/Benimaru/Shingo (99' Hero Team)
K/Maxima/Ramon/Vanessa (00' Hero Team)
K/Maxima/Whip/Lin (01' Hero Team)
King/Blue Mary/Xiangfei/Kasumi/Hinako/Mai (NESTS Women's Team)
Benimaru/Shingo/Seth/Lin (Benimaru Team)
Iori/Vanessa/Seth/Ramon (01' Iori Team)
Iori/Billy Kane/Mature/Vice (Retro Rivals)
---
BOSS TEAMS (more on that laterer)

-O. Yashiro/O. Shermie/O. Chris/Goenitz (Striker)
-Kusanagi/Kyo-1/Kyo-2/Krizalid (Striker)

For ease of use I'll utilize the 2002 UM teams for this.

---TEAM JAPAN---

Kyo:

-Light Fire Ball is invulnerable but does less damage

-Heavy Fire Ball does more damage but has no invulnerablity.

-Light Iron Trigger's spin is invuln

-Heavy Iron Trigger on startup has autoguard but has more recovery

-Final Showdown Light/Heavys are swapped to maintain consistency with Iron Trigger

-God's Duster is now a MAX SDM

STRIKERS:

-Striker 1: MAX Serpent's Wave (similar to 99/2000)

-Striker 2: R.E.D Kick -> Heavy Iron Trigger (similar to 2001)


Benimaru:

-Flying Drill now has a light and heavy version. Heavy goes the same angle, light version is more horizontal (55 degrees)

-Heavy Air Limber Lightning Strike now retains your momentum

-MAX Heaven Blast Flash removed.

-Heaven Blast Dress is now a MAX move (can be done whilst in counter mode for half the bar).

-Strong Punch/Kick version of Heaven Blast Dress now says still instead of following you.

STRIKERS:

Striker 1: Electrigger (Benimaru's Striker from 99-2001)
Striker 2: Limber Lightning Strike (Another Benimaru's Striker from 2000) (probably done with the slashy thing)


Goro:

-Minelayer is now OTG. Does low damage when hits on the ground, but good damage if it hits the opponent.

-Fu Rin Ka Zan now replaces MAX Super Earth Moves, does less damage overall

STRIKERS:

Striker 1: Earth Mover (Striker from 2000/2001)
Striker 2: Minelayer (does 0 damage, hits OTG and pops the opponent up for a juggle)
