       1. Introduction
--------------------------------------
Welcome to this guide. This is my first FAQ and I hope to make it a 
successful one. I felt a bit bored so I decided to dig up some old 
games and play to refresh my memory as well as to brush up my skills. 
Any suggestions to improve my FAQ skills would be greatly appreciated.    
This game is a fighting genre and it's created and copyright by Electro 
Brain and licensed by Nintendo. Another appearance from the game is the 
Nintendo system.
Now is a beginning of a new fighting chapter. You are invited to the 
Kumate world championship where you face the world's best exponents 
with skill, speed and intelligence. From a rookie status, you are going 
to make a name for yourself in the ultimate world championship by 
competing against the best. From here you make a reputation of yourself 
and earn the money where famous fighters earned. And the main priority 
is to beat the best to win the titles and become a recognized champion 
as "The Best of the Best".

    3.2 The basic guide
------------------------------
The aim is to knock out the opponent in order to win the fight. The 
rules are simple, when you are to close the opponent or the opponent is 
temporary knock out fight is stop. The referee will only start counting 
the fall when the opponent is knocked out. A round has a time limit of 
one minute. The floodlights above can easily identify your health bar. 
The left hand side is yours and the right hand side is your opponents'. 
In the invitational street fight the health bar can be identify as 
flames on the cone. There are no rules there except when you get to 
close to the opponent, the fight would stop (street fight). Go to the 
training room to train for the increase of ability so as to increase 
the chances of winning. Strategize your fight well and plus some 
craftiness and abilities, fight would be easily won. Don't get cornered 
or you would be easily beaten unless you fight dirty meaning taking 
some cheap shots if there's a chance. Be offensive when you can or you 
will never beat the opponent. Jab attacks are good counterattacks, so 
use them often when needed and the more strength you have, the stronger 
the jab is.

Name: Wantanabe
Abilities: Reflex 35%, Resist 45%, strength 40%
Strategy: Opponent is not bad, beware of his backhand attack blow to

offensive when you can and you should do fine.
Fighting type: Selection number 3

Name: Ivanoff
Abilities: Reflex 30%, Resist 60%, strength 45%
Strategy: This guy is quite good, and his offensive attacks is good, so 
when he tries to store up for a big kick, just wait for him to come and 
be offensive to hit him. He will get hit and continue to be offensive 
and avoid the jabs of his attacks.
Fighting type: Selection number 4
Comment: You will get an invitation fight from a fighter named Bear or 
other names.

Name: The Lord
Abilities: Reflex 40%, Resist 60%, strength 50%
Strategy: This fighter is quite good, but just follows the strategy I 
use on Ivanoff and you will do find and beat him for his title.
Fighting type: Selection number 4
Comment: It will display a "Welcome to Top 10 screen" after beating 
him.

Name: Chan Lee
Abilities: Reflex 55%, Resist 60%, strength 50%
Strategy: His attacks are quite good. But his fighting style is the 
same as the Lord and Ivanoff so just use the same strategy and you will 
do fine. His attacks are quite powerful.
Fighting type: Selection number 4
Comment: Gets another invitation fight from the invitation fighters.

Name: Goldman
Abilities: Reflex 55%, Resist 65%, strength 60%
Strategy: This fighter is the best among the four similar fighting type 
fighters, but the same strategy can be applied to this fighter and beat 
him for his title. Be sure to build up your abilities, as fights will 
become even tougher. Don't be on the defensive side as his attacks are 
quite powerful.
Fighting type: Selection number 4

Name: Flimrick
Abilities: Reflex 60%, Resist 60%, strength 75%
Strategy: Attacks powerful, can knocked the lights out of you should 
you always be too offensive and defensive. Don't brawl, instead use 
some to damage and counter his attacks. Beware of his flying kick.
Fighting type: Selection number 5
Comment: Get another invitation from the invitation fighter.

Name: Elmutt
Abilities: Reflex 60%, Resist 85%, strength 75%

same strategy used on Flimrick.
Fighting style: Selection number 5

Name: Furnari
Abilities: Reflex 60%, Resist 95%, strength 70%
Strategy: Very power attacks, quite fast in his attacks, but just close 
and attacks him because he uses jabs and the damaging scissors kick. 
Beat him with some jabs and some offensive attacks and close range 
attacks. This guy can soak up attacks, as his resist is quite good.
Fighting type: Selection number 6
Comment: Get another invitation from the invitation fighter

Name: GONZALES
Abilities: Reflex 80%, Resist 70%, strength 90%
Strategy: Very good fighter. Fast in attacks and fights like Furnari. 
So use the same strategy used on Furnari and you will do just fine.
Fighting type: Selection number 6

Name: Simpson
Abilities: Reflex 90%, Resist 89%, strength 88%
Strategy: Very strong abilities, so logically you will know he's a good 
fighter.  Be careful of his quick kick to the head, that can knock you 
out temporary (about 2 food lights). Just try to attacks his legs and 
use jabs and close attacks like whacking his legs but don't brawl with 
him.
Fighting type: Selection number 7
Comment: Get another invitation from the invitation fighter

Name Kun Liem
Abilities: Reflex 93%, Resist 94%, strength 95%
Strategy: This guy and Simpson fighting type is the same, his entire 
offensive attacks uses legs as deadly knockouts. Leg attacks are quick 
and effective and impressive. Watch out or you be knock out easily. 
Best tip is the strategy use on Simpson.
Comment: 2nd best fighter in world.

Name: Cogneur
Abilities: Reflex 99%, Resist 99%, strength 99%
Strategy: This guy has attacks from selection 1 to 7, close range, far 
range, medium range all are deadly. Nearly flawless in terms of 
attacks. Best tip is don't let him be too offensive and don't brawl 
with him. Instead, use jabs and some close range attacks and whack the 
legs for him to be immobile. Or force him to the far range attack, he 
should use the kick like Ivanoff or others, wait for him to come and 
attacks and then use some close range attacks.  After a few rounds, you 
should become the world champion.
Fighting type: Selection number 8 
Comment: "You have made it. Congratulations!! Now defend your title" 
appears after beating him. 

Invitational fighters (in order)
BEAR, PUNCHER, DOC JUMP, CRAZYLEG, HAMMER, WARRIOR, AND 
SECRET FIGHTER.
Note: Based on my strategies are not good enough, so go and train your 
abilities for better chance of winning. After being one of the tops, 
your fighter should flex and show off after beating an opponent. As for 
these invitational fighters, they are all good and pretty damaging, so 
don't get too defensive and don't brawl, instead whack the legs, use 
some medium range like kick to the head and mostly importantly, use 
jabs because it's the most effective offensive and counterattack 
attacks. And finally, I have no idea how to face and beat this secret 
character. I just happen to be playing around with the passwords. Any 
idea of facing or beating this person will be credited (with no 
cheats).
