I will add it in, and I will give credit (please add in who I'm giving credit to). You can also send me praise if you like, I'll put the first 7 praisegivers in my thanks section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction "heyheyhey" I'm rather glad to be the first one to make a guide for Godzilla STE here. As far as I know, this is the first average joe's guide on the internet to the game. I could be wrong, but I'm one of the first, if not the first. I hope you all will contribute to the guide, and anyone with questions that aren't answered here is free to ask me. There are two kinds of people reading this guide. You're either a fan of Godzilla who's picked up the game for that reason, or a gamer who decided to give this game a try. I will explain this guide for both types of people. This guide will NOT be just flat out information, 'cause that's boring. Instead I'll try to keep you entertained while you read. After this anyway. You're probably not even reading this, 'cause nobody cares about introductions. I'll stop awkwardly now, so you can just go ahead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls "whatsthisdo" X = Punch Square = Kick Circle = Fierce Attack Triangle = Block D-pad/Left analog stick = Move Right analog stick = Move monster's head around (yes, you can nod at people) R1 = Special Beam Weapon R2 = Jump L1 = Grab L2 = Crouch (also lets you turn away from the enemy when you are moving) X + Circle = Taunt, Rage attack (when in rage mode) L2 + R2 = Special trick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STE and DAMM "thatsnotapottyword" Godzilla: Save the Earth (I'll refer to it as STE, sounds cooler) is a fighting game followup to Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters Melee (DAMM, I like acronyms), which took some heat for stupid things. Godzilla STE seems to be a counterattack at harsh critics (or Pipeworks likes making these games). The main mode, Action mode, now adds challenges and an over-the-shoulder view. There is now a stats system, and MANY more types of damage. There are more characters, some of which are handled completely differently from the normal characters. There's online multiplayer. And there's Team Destruction, because anything called Team Destruction has got to be good. But I haven't even described the game yet. You and your opponent choose a monster, each from various Godzilla movies, and duke it out in a completely destructable environment. There are 3 different game types, Versus (two monsters fighting until one of 'em dies), Melee (melee is for two or more monsters, and it includes free-for-alls, team matches, destruction, and team destruction matches), and Action mode (you choose a monster and fight arcade style while collecting green capsules, until you reach the final boss, Orga. There are mini games thrown in too).The points you earn in action mode allow you to buy cities, monsters, and Gallery items. The game is very fun to play, and even after you've unlocked everything, it's fun to just play around. AND there's supposed to be downloadable content coming soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Environment "hellopiggy" One of the most impressive features of Godzilla STE is the interaction between you and the environment. There are actually hills and depressions. You can sink up to your hips in water, which slows you down and stops you from jumping. You can tear buildings up out of the ground and throw them. Stronger monsters can pick up bigger things. Little people in helicopters sting you with teeny-tiny missles. On one of the levels, maybe more, little people run away from you. And all of the levels are realistic recreations of famous places, like Tokyo, London, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Then there's not so real places, like Monster Island, a giant boxing ring, and the top of an enormous city built on top of a UFO (o_O). You can bulldoze the place flat. And if you're like me, you'll turn on the city reset option so you can do it again. You can even pick a building that was thrown at you right out of the air and toss it back (ROCK PONG!). Powerups are also part of the environment. There's little blue health capsules, yellow energy capsules, that swirling ball of death the rage mode powerup, and the big ol' atari symbol. What in the name of Hillbilly Bob is that? That is the new Air Strike powerup. Touch it, and either Battra or the Super-X 3 will fly in to bombard the nearest enemy. The dark Mothra fires his energy beams, which will harm but not kill an enemy, while the Super-X 3 unleashes its arsenal of cadmium missles and lasers, freezing the enemy solid. But you don't get any choice in the matter, it's random ^_^. Finally, there's the Energy Fence. It's that green barrier around the arena. Touch it and you'll fly back and be stunned a little. But you won't take any damage. That's a change I'm glad for. And you can't fly over it, but you can throw buildings and spit beams past it to hit the buildings beyond the fence (take notes for destruction). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beam Fighting "kickthebaby" This is what got a lot of people worked up. Basically, you and your opponent can both spit beams at each other at about the same time and they'll collide. You then become involved in a rock-paper-scissors sort of competition. Triangle sends a green pulse up the beam, Circle sends a red pulse, and X stops your beam so you can take the beam in the back of the throat, splattering your head (actually it spits a blue pulse up the beam). You lose a block of energy each round of the beam fight, plus another block if you lose. You can only send one pulse per round. You can also change the color of your pulse once per round. Whichever monster runs out of energy first takes the damage of both beams combined, and gets sent flying. His head doesn't splatter though. Hopefully that comes in a mod or something. An important note: Anguirus, Destroyah, Baragon, Mothra (Imago), Jet Jaguar, and Moguera 2 can not beam fight. Megaguirus can beam fight, but only with stolen weapons (thanks to davidguzman2@juno.com for clearing this up for me). All the other monsters can beam fight, but only with their charge-up beam. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Characters "yournutsroastingonanopenfire" EXAMPLE Attack: This is how physically strong the monster is. Defense: This is how well the monster resists damage. Speed: This is how fast the monster's top speed is. Weapons: This is how strong the monster is in terms of energy. Inflicts: This is what kind of damage the monste can do, in order of how many attacks it has that do that damage Resists: This is what kinds of damage the monster resists, from most resistant to slightly resistant. Weakness: This is what kinds of damage the monster is weak against, from most weak against to slightly weak against. Rage: This is what the monster's rage move does. Special Notes: This is special things to know about the monster. Origin: This is background information on the monster. Strategies: How to play as this monster. Top Row: Godzilla 2000, Gigan, Megalon, King Ghidora, Destroyah, Orga, Baragon, Mechagodzilla 3, Moguera 2 Bottom Row: Godzilla 90s, Anguirus, Rodan, Mechagodzilla 2, Megaguirus, Mecha-King Ghidora, Mothra, Jet Jaguar, Spacegodzilla Godzilla 2000 Attack: 5 Defense: 4 Speed: 5 Weapons: 4 Inflicts: Edged, Blunt, Atomic, Fire Resists: Atomic, Fire Weakness: Electric Rage: NUCLEAR PULSE - A huge explosion of fire and atomic energy bursts from Godzilla 2000. Special Notes: Get used to playing as him, he's the default character for every challenge. Origin: Godzilla 2000 is the third generation of Godzilla. Godzilla 2000 has so far fought Orga, Megaguirus, Mechagodzilla 3, and Mothra, although none of the movies had to do with one another. Godzilla 2000 has no real storyline, because none of his movies are very consistent. All there really is to say is that Godzilla 2000 is without a doubt much more savagely intelligent than any Godzilla before him, but he still has the attitude of Godzilla 90s. Strategy: The most well rounded character, you can use Godzilla 2000 any way you want. He can deliver a powerful beam and projectile, is good in melee, and is fairly quick. Godzilla 90s Attack: 5 Defense: 4 Speed: 4 Weapons: 5 Inflicts: Blunt, Edged, Atomic, Fire Resists: Atomic, Fire Weaknesses: Electric Rage: FINISHER BREATH - Godzilla 90s spits out a supercharged beam that is controlled like a normal beam, but doesn't last long. Special Notes: Almost the same as Godzilla 2000. Only reccomended if you prefer the Finisher beam over the Pulse. Origin: The second generation of Godzilla completely ignored the first generation, it started anew with it's own history, the Heisei storyline. Heisei Godzilla is bulky, slow, and has taken on some real powerhouses like Destroyah and Biollante. This is more the darker side of Godzilla, as opposed to the goofy hero of the 60s and 70s. Strategy: Same as Godzilla 2000. The only real differences are some of the moves, throws, and rage move. Gigan Attack: 6 Defense: 4 Speed: 7 Weapons: 3 Inflicts: Edged, Energy, Blunt Resists: Energy, Acid Weaknesses: Electricity Rage: WHIRLWIND ASSAULT - Gigan spins like a ballerina with meathook claws out, but don't take him lightly. Each hit does tremendous damage, and tosses you into the air. Special Notes: Gigan can teleport if you press L2 and R2 at the same time. Origin: Gigan is sort of like a cyborg mercenary. Someone contacts the group that hold him, and he gets unleashed on the enemy. He has a laser jewel in his forehead, meathook claws, vibrating spines in his chest that work like a chainsaw, and rather wicked flying skills. He is very sadistic, taking joy in the pain of other things. But if he starts to lose the fight, he will retreat, preferring to live another day with indignity than to die in battle. Sadly, his flying skills never made it to the game. Strategy: Gigan is a very melee focused fighter. However, there's a reason his highest stat is speed. Fight like Gigan would, pull in and don't let up until you start getting into trouble, then take the long range combat style. Anguirus Attack: 4 Defense: 8 Speed: 5 Weapons: 2 Inflicts: Edged, Blunt, Concussive Resists: Explosive, Concussive Weaknesses: Edged Rage: Instead of a Rage attack, Anguirus can use Thunderball without losing energy during Rage Mode. Special Notes: Press L2 and R2 at the same time to do a rolling tackle (Thunderball). Anguirus is immune to sweeps and overhead attacks when on all fours, and also takes half damage from non-physical attacks. Anguirus' block can hurt the enemy. Anguirus' dash jump can hurt the enemy. Anguirus' charge weapon (Sonic Roar) goes through buildings and has a wide range. Origin: Anguirus is a gigantic species of dinosaur that somehow survived the extinction. He seems to be either brave or stubborn, he never gives up a fight. He also seems to be quite intelligent, knowing full well what he can do, but he offsets that by ruining everything (In one movie he was sneaking up behind King Ghidora, who was distracted by the fight between Godzilla and Gigan. None of the three heads noticed him. Anguirus was almost close enough to clamp down on King Ghidora's tails, but he let out a loud roar before he could. King Ghidora's right head whirled around and blasted him with a gravity bolt before Anguirus could actually bite) In truth, he's a rather mediocre monster, but his determination puts him up among the top fighters. Strategy: Anguirus' high defense means that most attacks will do very little. Anguirus' attacks are fast and powerful, and even his block damages opponents. His running jump ends with an automatic bite. Get up close and beat the snot out of your opponent. Long-Range fighters won't be able to stand up to the assault, and Melee characters will do little to nothing. Anguirus is easily one of the best monsters in the game. Megalon Attack: 5 Defense: 3 Speed: 6 Weapons: 5 Inflicts: Edged, Blunt, Electric, Energy Resists: Electric, Explosive, Fire Weaknesses: Blunt, Concussive Rage: MAGNETIC VORTEX - Megalon shuffles his wings and all the monsters get sucked close to him. When one is close he releases a mini-pulse of energy. Special Notes: Megalon can dig if you press L2 and R2 at the same time. Megalon hovers in the air for a moment when you jump. Electricity heals Megalon. Origin: Megalon is the bug god of some random underwater people called the seatopians (...). Megalon, despite being rather worried near Raid factories, is a good fighter. He was unleased on Tokyo because of pollution of the world, and he was beaten by Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. Megalon has the potential to be a great fighter, but he's easy to kill. Take out your enemy fast to use him best. Strategy: Megalon not only has a low defense, but is also weak to the most common type of damage, blunt attacks. Do NOT get into a heated melee battle with Megalon, use him as a ranged fighter. Stun your opponent with Napalm before going in to fight close range. Rodan Attack: 3 Defense: 2 Speed: 8 Weapons: 4 Inflicts: Blunt, Fire, Edged, Concussive Resists: Fire, Atomic Weaknesses: Edged, Ice, Concussive Rage: HEAT SPIRAL - Rodan flies up twisting around shooting a continuous beam. Special Notes: Hold R2 to fly. Press L2 and R2 at the same time to make Rodan launch into the air, spiral around, and start flying (This makes you untrackable to beams. Rodan flies better than anyone in the game, without taking any more energy to fly. Fire heals Rodan. Origin: Rodan is another prehistoric beast that survived the extinction. Rodan flies fast enough to create sonic booms. Rodan is also a decent hand to hand fighter. Fire Rodan is a Rodan that was irradiated, and gained a Uranium beam. This Rodan is Fire Rodan, without the shockwaves. Do not, under any circumstances, fight Rodan as Godzilla or Baragon. In fact, the best character to fight Rodan with is Rodan. Strategy: If you're facing Baragon or Godzilla, you're in for an easy match. Their fire attacks will HEAL Rodan, making you much more powerful than normal. Rodan should spend most of his time flying, blasting at the opponent with beams, then finishing off with a tackle. While your energy recharges, fight dirty, throw rocks, and block often. Then, you can start all over again. King Ghidora Attack: 7 Defense: 7 Speed: 3 Weapons: 6 Inflicts: Edged, Blunt, Electric, Concussive Resists: Blunt, Electric, Concussive, Energy Weaknesses: Acid Rage: DEATHSTORM - King Ghidora spins in the air, creating hurricane gusts and spewing gravity bolts. Special Notes: Hold R2 to fly. King Ghidora can still grab an enemy if it's behind him. Press L2 and R2 at the same time to lose 12 blocks of energy and gain health. Origin: King Ghidora has been in more movies than any monster except Godzilla. King Ghidora travels through space, sucking the energy out of whatever planet he happens to land on, before moving on to do it again. During the 80s and 90s though, his origin was changed to be a creature that was created when humans traveled to the past to switch the unmutated Godzilla with three artificial pets called Dorats. Instead of Godzilla being created, King Ghidora was born from the fusion of the three Dorats. Strategy: King Ghidora is a powerful melee fighter, and a good beam fighter as well. His biggest problem is his incredibly short legs, making him SLOOOOOOW. Fight beam fighters with your melee attacks, and melee fighters with your gravity bolts. Mechagodzilla 2 Attack: 4 Defense: 7 Speed: 4 Weapons: 7 Inflicts: Blunt, Energy, Edged, Explosive Resists: Edged, Acid, Ice Weaknesses: Energy, Electric Rage: ALL WEAPONS STRIKE - Mechagodzilla 2 fires his missles, maser cannon, and eye lasers all at his opponent. Special Notes: Hold R2 to fly. Press L2 and R2 at the same time to pull off a super leap. Origin: Mechagodzilla was a machine created by aliens to invade earth. However, in the 80s and 90s, he was created by humans to destroy Godzilla. Pipeworks confused the Mechagodzillas though, and their Mechagodzilla is the first one with the second Mechagodzilla's body. Whatever works though, I'm not complaining. Strategy: Stay back and use your beams and missile fingers. Mechagodzilla isn't a very good melee fighter, even if his attack power is decent. If your energy runs low, tackle your opponent, pull off a combo, then leap away. Try to lock beams, as your attacks will do more to ranged fighters. Destroyah Attack: 6 Defense: 5 Speed: 2 Weapons: 8 Inflicts: Energy, Blunt, Electric, Edged, Ice Resists: Atomic, Ice, Concussive Weaknesses: Edged, Explosive, Fire Rage: OXYGEN DESTROYER - Destroyah spits out a small purple ball that moves very fast and homes in on its enemy. Special Notes: Press L2 and R2 at the same time to spit out a very short range freezing mist. Origin: The original Godzilla was destroyed by a weapon called the oxygen destroyer. A scientist named Dr. Serizawa activated underwater, killing himself to keep the secret of its power safe. All that was left in the area after it went off was a lot of Hydrogen and Skeletons. This lack of oxygen allowed a prehistoric creature of microscopic proportions to be revived. It multiplied, and when men dug down to where these tiny creatures lay, they were exposed to oxygen. They then fed off the oxygen and within days grew to the size of a horse. All these creatures formed into a couple of huge, building sized creatures that eventually melded into Destroyah, a flying creature that could absorb oxygen and form an energy sword on it's horn. Like Gigan, Destroyah's flying ability was left out of this game. Strategy: Even though Destroyah's greatest stat is his weapons, don't let it fool you. Destroyah is a melee fighter, with very quick, powerful attacks. His beam is better if they are close to you, as it has a limited range, and draws the enemy in. The beam is VERY powerful, but not very ranged. Most of the Fierce attacks use the energy katana, an extension to Destroyah's horn. These moves are powerful, hit a large area, and tend to send enemies flying. Megaguirus Attack: 6 Defense: 4 Speed: 8 Weapons: 1 Inflicts: Edged, Blunt, Energy Resists: Acid, Explosive Weaknesses: Atomic Rage: MEGANULON SWARM - Megaguirus fires three swarms of meganula, which home in on your opponent, do heavy damage, and drain their energy, leaving your opponent a twitching mess. Special Notes: Megaguirus starts with no energy, and does not regain energy. Each tail attack steals one energy block. When grabbing, press X to copy their beam, Circle to steal energy, and Square to steal health. Megaguirus is immune to sweeps. Megaguirus replaces her blast with the enemy's beam when you copy it, but the beam is only good for one use (Megaguirus can beam fight too, if you time the shot right, thanks to davidguzman2@juno.com for that). Press L2 and R2 at the same time to activate Inertia-less Flight, which doubles your speed. Origin: Megaguirus is in no way as unique as any of the other monsters. Back in prehistoric times (not again), there was a species called Meganula, a huge dragonfly. Their queen, the Megaguirus, was the biggest, meanest girl in the pack. A weapon that fired mini-black holes was being tested when it opened a wormhole, which sucked one of them through to the present. After a hive had been built up, the Meganula attacked Godzilla. Godzilla fried 'em easy. The remaining ones, in a desperate effort to preserve life, transfered every bit of energy they had to the Megaguirus. This one grew huge from all the energy, and began to attack Godzilla, the one that had destroyed the hive. Strategy: Get up-close and personal with this one. Megaguirus is a very fast, in-your-face fighter. Even though Megaguirus' speed is at max, it increases to godlike agility with Inertia-less Flight. Activate Inertia-less Flight early on, and make the best out of it. Steal energy with the tail, and weaponry with the grab. Stealing health is always a good idea too. Orga Attack: 8 Defense: 5 Speed: 4 Weapons: 4 Inflicts: Blunt, Edged, Energy, Acid Resists: Blunt, Concussive, Explosive Weaknesses: Acid, Fire, Energy, Atomic Rage: SHOULDER CANNON OVERLOAD - Orga twists and shakes like an epileptic, firing his beam everywhere before releasing a devestating short-range pulse. Special Notes: Orga can grab while running. Press Circle in midair to grab in the air. Press L2 and R2 at the same time while holding someone to absorb some of their health. Origin: Orga was originally one of an alien race that came to earth long ago. When people found a spaceship underwater, it rose to the air and attacked Godzilla. Eventually, an alien monster called Millenian emerged, and copied Godzilla's regenerative cells, becoming Orga. No matter how much he was blasted at, he regenerated himself at an outstanding rate. He would try to copy Godzilla further by biting him. Then, in one of the sickest moments in movie history, Orga started to swallow Godzilla whole. Godzilla then blasted him from the inside out, splattering him all over the place like the losers on the beam fighting mod I want. Orga was killed, but he isn't the only one of his race... Strategy: Orga is a very strong, brutal melee fighter. Grab, toss, whack, and bite your way to victory, using different attacks all the time. Use Orga's grab to your advantage, as it can be used while standing, running, and jumping. Stay VERY close before pulling off your rage move, for maximum damage. Mecha-King Ghidora Attack: 6 Defense: 6 Speed: 3 Weapons: 7 Inflicts: Resists: Edged, Blunt, Concussive Weaknesses: Energy, Electric, Atomic, Fire, Acid Rage: INVINCIBILITY - Mecha-King Ghidora becomes invincible, and can hurt enemies just by touching them. Special Notes: Hold R2 to fly. Press L2 and R2 at the same time to sacrifice some health for all your energy. Mecha-King Ghidora creates an energy shield while he blocks if he has energy. This shield absorbs weapon fire into health. Mecha-King Ghidora is very weak to all non-physical attacks. Origin: When King Ghidora was created instead of Godzilla, the unmutated Godzilla was teleported to an underwater trench. Years later it had become so polluted with radioactive waste that Godzilla was created again, even stronger than before thanks to a downed nuclear sub. Godzilla killed King Ghidora, then picked up where King Ghidora left off. The people from the future added robot parts to the damaged sections of King Ghidora, then brought him back to the present to fight off Godzilla. It was built in a haste, so it wasn't designed for long term use. Strategy: Fight just like you would if you were King Ghidora, with a few tweaks to the plan. Block any beams or energy attacks, as they absorb into your shield and energy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baragon Attack: 6 Defense: 5 Speed: 7 Weapons: 2 Inflicts: Blunt, Edged, Fire, Concussive Resists: Fire, Concussive (When on all fours) Weaknesses: Ice, Concussive (when standing), Edged Rage: LAVA ERUPTION - Baragon burrows underground (if he isn't already underground) and opens a volcanic fissure, which scorches the enemy. Special Notes: Press L2 and R2 at the same time to burrow. Baragon can use his fire breath when he is moving. If you attack/jump just after breathing fire, Baragon will continue to breathe fire while attacking/jumping. Baragon can attack during ANY kind of jump. Baragon is immune to sweeps, explosions, and takes half damage from weapon fire when on all fours. Baragon's grab can counter an enemy grab if timed right. Baragon's Rend & Tear (Press Square when you grab), does three hits, the last of which is electric. This was done by accident, as Electric comes right after Edged. This heals Megalon (thanks to davidguzman@juno.com for that tidbit). Origin: Baragon is either a dinosaur who managed to escape from the extinction (groan...) or the god of the earth and fire. Whichever he is, he's CUTE (well, only in the movies). He also seems to be rather curious and playful (in one movie, he breaks open a prison and starts pawing at the convicts, just like a kitten). But that doesn't stop him from being a ferocious fighter. The most acrobatic and singleminded monster, Baragon's mind is always stuck on either food, play, or fight. And he's got some big teeth and claws to help him along. Strategy: Baragon is a constantly moving fighter. Attack with your beam while moving, and only stop to wreck havoc on the enemy with your claws. Digging is useful, especially if you use an underground attack. Mothra Attack (Imago): 4 Attack (Adult): 3 Defense (Imago): 5 Defense (Adult): 4 Speed (Imago): 2 Speed (Adult): 6 Weapons (Imago): 3 Weapons (Adult): 6 Inflicts (Imago): Blunt, Edged, Concussive Inflicts (Adult): Blunt, Electric, Concussive, Edged, Acid Resists (Imago): Electric, Energy, Fire, Ice, Atomic, Explosive Resists (Adult): Atomic Weaknesses (Imago): Acid Weaknesses (Adult): Fire Rage: Mothra does not enter Rage mode. Instead Mothra treats rage as a health and energy powerup. Special Notes: Mothra starts in her Imago form. Press L2 and R2 at the same time to transform into Adult Mothra. Transformation fully restores Mothra's health and energy. Imago Mothra does not recover energy. Adult Mothra is immune to sweeps. Away + Circle reflects beams. Origin: Mothra is supposedly the guardian of the people of the earth. Meaning Mothra doesn't care about the earth, only what helps the people prosper. There's a word to describe Mothra: Tailbiter. Every Mothra, Imago and Adult, has been inexplicably drawn to biting or pulling their enemy's tail. Creampuff is also a close description. Somehow, Mothra has managed to beat Godzilla almost every time. But then, if cow tipping can be considered a sport, this is nothing. Strategy: Web the enemy, attack while they're stunned, wash, rinse, repeat. When you run low on health, transform into an adult, and you'll regain everything. Then, fight with beams, grabs, and quick combos to beat down your weakened opponent. Mechagodzilla 3 Attack: 5 Defense: 5 Speed: 5 Weapons: 4 Inflicts: Edged, Blunt, Electric, Explosive, Ice Resists: Edged, Energy, Atomic, Acid Weaknesses: Electric Rage: ABSOLUTE ZERO CANNON - Mechagodzilla 3 fires a beam from its chest that freezes anything it touches. Special Notes: Hold R2 to fly. Press L2 and R2 at the same time to do a shoulder rocket charge. Mechagodzilla 3's grab has a slight range, and does more damage the longer you hold an enemy. Origin: Mechagodzilla 3, better known as Kiryu, was created to not just fight off Godzilla, but kill him. The secret weapon was a powerful chest beam that could freeze anything in its path. Kiryu was loaded with weapons: missles, lasers, even a jetpack. It was built with DNA computers (my explanation isn't professional, so don't kill me). The practical upshot is that instead of thinking only two types of data (1s and 0s), it would use four or more types to compute, making the AI way better than normal. But when it heard Godzilla's roar, it inherited the very first Godzilla's memories, and rampaged the city, thinking it was Godzilla. Eventually he did manage to fight off Godzilla, after everything was *temporarily* fixed. But no one cares about that. Kiryu might still have a few bugs to work out though... Strategy: Kiryu is a great melee and ranged fighter, with a VERY nice missle attack. I call them Angel Wing Missles, for the way they launch. In the beginning, immediately fire off a round of Angel Wing Missles, then move in for the kill. Don't let up on your attacks unless you plan on using a beam, or launching a salvo of AWMs. Use his rage move to incapitate your enemy. Jet Jaguar Attack: 5 Defense: 5 Speed: 5 Weapons: 1 Inflicts: Blunt, Edged, Concussive Resists: Acid, Ice Weaknesses: Electric Rage: TORNADO - Jet Jaguar spins around, sucking enemies into a tornado and juggling them about the arena. Special Notes: Hold L2 and R2, then press Square to shrink Jet Jaguar. Hold L2 and R2, then press X, Circle, or Triangle to grow. When small, Jet Jaguar is invulnerable to weapons fire, and can reflect beams by blocking. Origin: Jet Jaguar is a robot created by a happy little scientist man. When Megalon and Gigan attacked Tokyo, Jet Jaguar grew to monstrous proportions (literally), and flew off to fetch Godzilla. Through various strange beeps, hand signals, and increasingly large and disturbing smiles, he managed to tell Godzilla about Megalon and Gigan. The two then mopped the floor with (quote from the cable movie review) 'a giant cockroach and a big black chicken' (those racists). Jet Jaguar seems to have his own martial arts style. Sadly, his flying was taken from the game, although he kept his big goofy grin. Strategy: If grinning hurt others, JJ would be god of pain. But that doesn't do anything for him, so he relies on his melee skills, and his new beam move, which works even if you run out of energy (O.O). Use his rage move as soon as you get it. Moguera 2 Attack: 3 Defense: 2 Speed: 8 Weapons: 8 Inflicts: Energy, Explosive, Edged, Blunt, Electric Resists: Acid, Ice Weaknesses: Electric, Energy, Concussive Rage: PHOTONIC STORM - A huge ring of electricky orange and blue stuff blasts out of Moguera, hitting everything around him. Special Notes: Moguera 2 can't recharge his energy unless he stands still, or you hold L2 and R2 down. Moguera 2 can jump again in midair. Moguera 2's crouch charges up his treads for a dash. When Moguera 2 blocks beams, some of the damage is absorbed into ammo. Origin: Moguera 2 is really a robot called M.O.G.U.E.R.A. built to protect Japan from monsters (for once they aren't trying to kill Godzilla). The captain has a secret assignment to betray the crew and kill Godzilla (so much for that last claim). Moguera stands for Mobile Operational Godzilla Underground Expert Robot Aero-type. The original Moguera was called Mogera (without a u), and like Mechagodzilla, was built by aliens that used it to invade earth (not kill Godzilla). Later a special one was sent to kill Godzilla (just kidding, that irony would be way too cruel). Strategy: Don't use your melee attacks, ever. Period. Stay away, run around, block beams, and continuously spout missles, beams, bolts, and the like. If you get any projectile ammo, save it, get up close, and FIRE! Watch the enemy go flying by, straight into a building. If you run out of energy, just try to stay alive until an energy powerup pops in. Spacegodzilla Attack: 4 Defense: 5 Speed: 2 Weapons: 8 Inflicts: Blunt, Energy, Edged Resists: Energy, Concussive, Atomic, Blunt, Electric Weaknesses: Edged Rage: CRYSTAL PRISON - Sort of a misnomer, Spacegodzilla pulses energy throughout the stage, damaging any who touch it. Special Notes: Hold R2 to fly. Circle summons/attacks with crystal spires. Spacegodzilla regains energy very quickly when standing near crystal spires. Spacegodzilla's grab is ranged. Many of Spacegodzilla's attacks require energy. Holding down Crouch while running allows Spacegodzilla to levitate across the ground very fast (thanks to davidguzman2@juno.com for that). This is not his run however. Origin: When Godzilla defeated Biollante (an undead plant beast made of rose and Godzilla cells), Biollante flew off into space. The Godzilla cells of Biollante survived the cold vaccum, and was exposed to cosmic energy beyond belief. The end result was a semi-crystallized deformed Godzilla-esque beast. Spacegodzilla traveled all the way back to earth just to kill Godzilla. It was stopped by Moguera though, who destroyed all the crystal spires Spacegodzilla created, leaving him without power to fight back against Godzilla. Strategy: Fight up close for a bit, then stand back and shoot charged beams and crystal rockets. Make sure there are always two spires on the field, and make sure to stay between them. Your power will increase by tenfold, as your enery will almost never run out. This is a big worry for SpaceGodzilla, as most of his attacks require energy to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumors and Speculations "extradoody" This is where rumors, ideas, possibilities, and the like are. If something is disproved it will be removed. Feel free to send your own stuff, but I'll decide if it's reasonable or not. You will receive full credit. Rumor, Idea, or Speculation -Why this whatever came to be. -Status Originally, Titanosaurus was a character, but was taken out because of a lack of a moveset. -In one of the Gallery items, there is a melee match between Godzilla, Gigan, Anguirus, and Titanosaurus -Disproved by Pipeworks, TOHO doesn't own the rights to Titanosaurus. How in the heck they don't, I have no idea. Originally Gigan had the ability to fly, but this was taken out of the game to make him more fair. -There is a gallery item that shows Gigan flying in the air, blasting Godzilla with his laser. He then lands, and takes off again. -Disproved by Pipeworks There was a rail shooter game for Rodan, but it was too hard to string it all together, so it never made it. -In one of the Gallery items, there is a picture of Rodan flying in the canyons blasting turrets rail shooter style. -Approved by Pipeworks. They simply decided not to do it. There was an arctic level that was taken out, that will later be up for download. -There are many gallery items in an arctic setting, including one showing the effects of falling through the ice. An arctic level like this would be almost to good to keep away from the public. Also, there is a melee match between Titanosaurus, Anguirus, Godzilla, and Gigan in an arctic arena. -Unknown ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer "youforgotpoland" This document is Copyright 2005 by Derek 'Dracoferret' Van Dyke This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.
