Juggernaut The first of the two bosses, Juggernaut is the biggest foe in the game. He is a cheese merchant and does cheaps a lot.

Earthquake - The only way to avoid this is to jump diagonal or double jump upwards.
X-Move : Juggernaut Power! - When he executes this move, keep WELL AWAY!!! This increases the power of all his moves tenfold (which means "one-hit - instant death" as his moves are too powerful as it is.

Normal Moves
Here are a selection of some of his moves:
Uppercut, Double-fist punch.

Strategy
Before the round starts, move away from him. Keep tossing fireballs when away. Do not, under any circumstances, go near him as he will just punch the living daylights out of you. This might be difficult for non-fireball throwers but use long-range combination attacks. When he turns his "X" on, KEEP WELL AWAY!!! Just let it wear out. Don't even execute your "X", even when he is super vulnerable.

Magneto
The last of the two bosses, this wily old veteran has lost none of his awesome power. In this game, he will cheap even more than M.Bison!!!! If you don't believe me, play him and you see what I mean!!

Magnetic Balls - Virtually impossible to avoid, he will send four or five magnetic balls to pick you up and drag you to him.
Laser Blast - He can take you out with his extremely fast laser blast.
Magnetic Field - He can protect himself with a Magnetic Field which you CANNOT penetrate. You have to stay away and let it fade naturally. It's probably his Hyper-X.
Air Sonic Bolts - These travel at a diagonal angle and trap you in the far corner. If you get caught in a hail of Air Sonic Bolts, just block (there isn't much you can do in this situation, it's so fast!!).
Magnetic Foam Bubbles - This covers your character and stops him/her from moving. To shake off, wiggle the joypad.
Electric Sparks - He can send off three trails of electric sparks which can only be avoided by jumping (preferably a double-jump). You can block it.
Levitation - Yes, he can levitate big chunks of metal and drop them on you from a great height. The only way to avoid this is to block or double jump before Magneto drops them.
X-Move : Laser Bolts from Above - Absolutely impossible to avoid, this killer move is a blinder. Laser bolts drop from the sky and cover the entire screen. You can only just sit and block this (it will still eat away a substantial amount of your energy).

Normal Moves
Here are a selection of some of his moves:
Cloak Swipe, Transparency

Strategy
Magneto is a complete cheat and he will use cheaps like it was going out of fashion. So AT ALL TIMES play like a super expert, even when he has a sliver of energy left. Never let your guard down at ANY time. And above all, be prepared for all cheaps. When he turns on his Magnetic Field, stay away and block any laser bolts he may chuck. Wait until it fades before moving close. For characters like Wolverine, it's probably best if you stay with him and Tornado Claw him into the air, but beware for any grab attacks. It's also good to keep double-jumping just to make it harder for him to attack you but watch out for when he's fully charged for an "X".

X-Men - Cheats for the Arcade

Arcade
Control Akuma - Guess what? Akuma doesn't like the X-Men copying the Street Fighter II moves and he also thinks they are wimps. To aid him in his quest for beat-'em-up cross-game domination, on pad 1 highlight Spiral for 2 seconds, then with the Joystick move the cursor to Silver Samurai (left), Psylocke(left), Collosus(left), Iceman(left), Colossus(right), Cyclops(up), Wolverine(right) and Omega Red(right). Now highlight Silver Samurai for 2 seconds more then press buttons 3, 4 and 6 which are Fierce Punch, Light Kick and Fierce Kick at the same time. On pad 2 highlight Storm for 2 seconds, then move the cursor to Cyclops(right), Colossus(down), Iceman(left), Sentinel(left & up), Omega Red(left), Wolverine(left), Psylocke(down) and Silver Samurai(right). Now place the cursor on Spiral for 2 seconds then push Fierce Punch, Light Kick and Fierce Kick all at once. Akuma is now yours!!
Control your character after beating opponent - After beating your opponent, push START and now you can move up to your character and repeatedly sweep them. Use this to kick them while they are down. Smart!
