Here are those answers

>But you've given me a lot to work with (Phantom, yay!)

Grahf is so going to kill me.

>For one, I just have had a few ideas of what to do with Angel, but I don't believe I've ever played a game with her in it. What kind of attacks does she use and what is her basic style?

Her official KOF profile claims she has no style in particular. I'm no expert with playing as her, but most of her moves are based on chain combos. Her only real special ability is to do a rapid dash of about five feet where she's invisible for a split second. With that she can zip past her opponent and hit them from behind or zip into them and spin toss them with her legs while on her back.

In KOF2K2 she was given the People's Elbow as a Hidden SDM attack. Instead of running around, she just zips back and forth before the exaggerated elbow drop. A lot of her attacks have a sense of useless movement. An example would be like instead of just throwing a punch, she would lift one knee, reel back kind of far with her fist and then step forward, letting her opponent have it.

This site has some animated gifs of some of her attacks: http://www.gamegen.com/fightgen/characters/angel-kof.html

>The same questions go for Billy Kane, and maybe S-Ko and Zappa.

Billy is pretty straightforward. His style revolves around his weapon, a staff that stretches into three pieces, connected by rope. Here are some of his more well-known attacks:

-Lunging his staff forward so it stetches and pokes his opponent.

-Using it to polevault off screen and land elsewhere.

-Twirling it fast and creating a ring of fire. Then he tosses the ring at his opponent.

-Jumping and swatting his staff downward, but when he does it, the end looks like a dozen staffs bunched together (I guess because of the speed).

But keep in mind that Billy's became a giant monster of a man in FAJ, so he may not use the staff quite as much.

Zappa is an odd one. He's a possessed guy who fights with his back arched, swaying to and fro. S-ko is a direct homage to Sadako/Samara from Ringu/The Ring. She only really appears during blocks and during his Instant Kill. During that, she reaches out and tries to grab the opponent's head. If she succeeds, the screen cuts to some weird imagery based on the videotape from The Ring, followed by a message of "DESTROYED!"

Zappa summons ghosts randomly during the fights and they are everything from three ghosts in straightjackets, a dog skeleton with half opaque black skin, a floating sword and some big ghost guy with blue flames (he almost never appears). Once he's hit, his ghost helpers disappear. So fighting as and against him is pretty unpredictable.

I can't remember all of his attacks, but he can use the straightjacket ghosts as projectiles, the dog reaches its neck and skull out of its mouth as an attack, and the sword just stabs and cuts.

You can find some art of Zappa and S-ko here: http://www.gamegen.com/fightgen/characters/zappa.html

Hope that was helpful.
