i think ralf does like his galaxy punch

You mean Galactica Phantom? Yeah, I think that's the strongest attack. Krizalid's End of Eden SDM is kinda strong too.

Is this the thousand punch SDM that you mention? I like that SDM, very nice and deadly .

BTW, Yuri's SDM Shin Sho-Ryu-Ken is very powerful too .

Nope, its the one where he burns you to crisp. And yeah that 'thousand punch SDM' is very cool. Igniz have a similar SDM too, but I like Krizalid's better.

I have to say this SDM is very strong but you have to get total hits to cause a lot of damages and it starts so slow and most of the time you have chance to block or escape from it .

Yaa, I agree with that. Even Krizalid didn't use it very often. But when it connects, even Kyo's Orochi Nagi's no match for its power. Kyo's weaker than his clone? What's up, Kyo?!

Ryo's DM Tenchi Haou ken takes half energy when counter which is very deadly (but unfortunately only for counter which is not very useful because we don't have too much chances to do counter move and difficult for timing ). Why SNK doesn't let this move just hits and take damages like other moves? (I know RYo in Capcom VS SNK does this ) Besides, this move can't counter Ralf's Galatica Phantom .

Its for experts use, who counters attacks with that move at the perfect time. Just kidding. Anyway the best part about Galactica Phantom is when you counter an attack with it, it deals maximum damage, 100% of the opponents life! I think you know that already, but its still so cool(and cheap?). But its taken out since '99. And its even not a DM since 2001. Someone was so pissed about this.

What?! Counter an attack takes 100% life (in KOF 98?)?! This is sick (way tooooooooooo cheap )! It is obviously a good idea to remove it from DM move . Well, I know this move can already make a lot of damages (60% or more?), but he is only a player in the game and I don't think he really deserves to have a such powerful attack (not even a boss can do this).

That's right, a straight KO if it connects. Its the same in '97 too. You can try it out in practice mode. Although its very powerful, its very slow. Your opponent have a lot of time to dodge the attack. Thats the bad part. Anyway, I was suprised that they remove it from a DM move in 2001. Now you can do that move over and over again withhout losing any power. Very useful, if you want to play the game the cheap way.

You mean it becomes a normal move but still keep all the effect as the DM ? If yes, this is just too cheap ! Shame on you! Ralf .

The damage is the same as the DM, but no more instant KO when it counters. Still deadly though. And still cheap. Thats one of the best part about Ralf.

The Ikari team is kind of cheap because all of them take a lot of damages but the other team is the leader who takes more than the teammate .

Duh, they're from the military, of course they're strong. But I don't think Leona is that strong...

I don't remember Ralf's Galactic Phantom taking 100% out of You even as a counter, maybe about 80 or even 90 but not a 100, also if You ever had the chance to see it I did this only 2 times in KOF94 and someone put up a video of it in You Tube, Haidern's Moon Slahs(is that it's name?)... well it's the chop he dopes in 94, with very little Hp(in the red atleast), full Power and Your oponent with about 90 or 80% Hp you do a counter as he is just barely hitting you, You take very little damage if any at all and You take the bum out , also some say it is a glitch but he seems to do it against any char so I don't think it's a glitch since I was able to Do it against Ryo and Kim
