Hey I just got King of Fighters 2001 for my Baby
And wanted to know if you guys feel it is cheap to learn the combos by looking them up?

How would you ever learn how to do the Deadly Rave or other moves like that?
Trial and Error?
Is it cheating to look up castling or en passe in chess?
The skill in fighting games comes through knowing exactly when to use the combos and how to defend against them.
Admittedly, learning combos gives you an edge over those who haven't learned them so, in a way, you may think of it as unbalancing the playing field against human opponents.
The community is what accelerates people to competitive levels.
Now, if your friends are all casual players and you want to play casual, looking up combos will either make them displeased that you're trashing them, or force them to look up combos of their own. Usually looking up combos and strats for your characters of choice is standard procedure in my group, and we're pretty damn casual about our fighting games.

Man, not only should you be looking up move lists, you should write them down in a secret code in an ancient manuscript with brittle, yellowed pages.
Then you train several disciples in your old age, passing on the inner secrets of King of Fighters. But only when the students are ready for this knowledge!
Eventually you will be ready to decide which of your students is the most spiritually prepared to succeed you as headmaster, and you will bequeath the move list to him. That night, your other hot-headed student with promise but too much anger will steal the move list and run off to start a rival fighting clan, and then the two students will be forced to fight to the finish in the name of your SNK dojo.
Now go look up a combo list and get to work.
I... I never thought about doing that!
Seriously, do that!

Damn, that takes a lot of patience to learn all the right buttons for that one though =/
I think they were just too lazy to do it themselves, really.

Unless a fighting game has a really adequate training mode that teaches every last move, you must use a guide.
Fuck Mortal Kombat. :x
