He is the elite genereal of the Seidon Guardsmen of the Realm of Order. After pledging for the help to Shujinko and betrays him and sends him to jail for many years. Bio 1: There is an order to the universe -- laws that all of nature must obey. For centuries I have imposed order on those who would wreak havoc. Outworld has long been a source of disruption, but an old ruler has made a triumphant return. During Onaga's rule, his military forced peace throughout his domain. I will see that his return brings order to this war-torn realm once more. I will fight against the insurgents to clear a path for the Dragon King's coming. Bio 2: Krypt Number: GK Price: 267 Gold Koins Years ago, I fought against the vile Tarkatan warriors. I vowed to protect outworld city of Lei Chen from the attacks of Shao Kahn. Time have changed. Now I find myself aiding Baraka and his troops. I pledged the loyalty of the city to Onaga and begun my mission to stop the uprising against him. Baraka's militia have brought word of an earthrealm warrior named Sub-Zero who has slain many Tarkatan. I will hunt him down. I will bring him before the justice of the Dragon King. Unlocking Hotaru: Koffin Number: OJ Location: H-1/Orderrealm Time: 4am-2pm You should be able to see a chest around this area where he is located. If you can't seem to find him, keep looking Alternate Outfit: Unlocked at the Kyrpt Number: QT Price: 1064 Ruby Koins This has a small change to his original outfit. He no longer has those flags sticking out and now wears a helmet, to look even more like a guard. Defalt Outfit: This is the armor used by the Seiden Guards. He shows his face and has two feathers that stick up from his shoulders. Ending: Unlocked by: Defeat the Dragon King with Hotaru. In the wilds of outworld, Hotaru captured the renegade earthrealm warrior Sub-Zero and brought him before the Dragon King. Onaga's judgement of Sub-Zero was swift. And Hotaru was given the task of carrying out his punishment; Death. His fate served as a reminder to all who challenged the authority of the Dragon King. ------------ Hotaru Notes ------------ What is good about him? He has one of the best specials around. It is called Grasshopper and is also one of the cheapest attacks in the game. His weapon is pretty powerful but lacks big combos. What is not good about him? Hotaru lacks greatly in the combo department. His biggest combo is about four buttons. So you'll have to keep on redoing or string your own combo together. ----------- Strategies ----------- What works well against the CPU? Grasshopper, this move is virtually unstopable, Onaga has no chance to stop this, if you cannot get past an opponent, switch to Hotaru and unleash this move. What works well against veteran players? Vets will know of this cheap tactic and you will need to very the Lava Burst every once in awhile to keep them off guard. Then try to nail them with Pi Gua's Spinning out of Kontrol and Ba Shan Fan's Launching Bash. What works well against medicore players? Grasshopper will work nicely here, but if they are able to stop it, switch to his basic combos of Pi Gua. What works well to hit them into Death Traps? Grasshopper works fairly well here, along with most of the Naginata attakcs, just use these to send them flying. What can you do to stop him? Grasshopper will be used by the cheapos out there so be on your guard, just block and use combo breakers to stop it, he doesn't have many combos so you can stop him with your other moves and go in for the kill. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Moves will we listed with the combo needed to enter and then the name. Buttons separated by commas are inserted after completing the first one and "+" mean at the same time. Since three systems use this same game, here is my table showing how it is different for each one. ============================================ Movement Abbreviation ============================================ Back B Forward F Up U Down D ============================================================ Buttton Abbreviation PS2 Xbox Gamecube ============================================================ Attack 1 1 Square X B Attack 2 2 Triangle Y Y Attack 3 3 X A A Attack 4 4 Circle B X Change Style CS L1 L L Block BL R2 R R Throw TH R1 Black Z Pick-Up Weapon PU L2 White ? ============================================ Command What it Means ============================================ "," Enter button after the previous one is entered "+" Enter at the same time as the one connected ======== Movelist ======== ___________ ___/Ba Shan Fan\______________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------- Move Name Button Combination ---------------------------------------- Backfist...............1 Smashing Fist..........B+1 Low Punch..............D+1 Chest Backfist.........2 Smashing Elbow.........U+2 Power Punch............R+2 Rising Fist............D+2 Stomp Kick.............3 Shunpain...............B+3 Twisting Low Kick......D+3 Front Kick.............4 Creeping Kick..........D+4 Double Backfist........2,1 Bashing Skulls.........2,B+1 Cruncher...............1,3 Leg Bash...............1,B+3 Launching Bash.........2,1,L1 ______ ___/Pi Gua\___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------ Move Name Button Combination ------------------------------------------ Ridge Hand...............1 Knife Hand Chop..........B+1 Swing Chop...............U+1 Low Knife Hand Chop......D+1 Spear Hand Strike........2 Wing Chop................F+2 Spearhand Sweep..........B+2 Sharp Uppercut...........D+2 Stepping Heel Kick.......3 Low Shin Kick............B+3 Pointy Toe Strike........D+3 Power Heel Kick..........4 Low Spin Kick............D+4 Falling Tree.............2,2,3 Rushing Ridge Hand.......2,2,1 Good Order...............2,2,4 Sliding Hands............2,B+1 Rain From Above..........2,2,U+1 Spinning Out Of Kontrol..2,2,L1 ________ ___/Naginata\_________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------- Move Name Button Combination ----------------------------------- Face Cutter.......1 Raging Uproar.....B+1 Blunt End.........D+1 Stomach Slash.... 2 Leg Takeout.......B+2 Razor Spin........U+2 Diamond Cutter....D+2 Face Poker........3 Longhilt..........B+3 Hot End...........U+3 Shin Spitter......D+3 Power Kick........4 Cartwheel Pain....B+4 Sharp End.........D+4 Royal Guard.......1,B+1 Samurai Spirit....1,1 7th Death Dealer..1,1,4 Honor Guard.......1,1,U+2 Demonic Warrior...1,1,B+4 ________ ___/Specials\_________________________________________________________________ ============================================ Bounder : TH : Rating: 3/5 ============================================ A nice karate kick to the back and then to the fron side where he sends them flying. Not the most effective Throw but it can still get the job done. It even seems easier to pull off then other kombanats. ============================================ Grasshopper: F,F+4 : Rating: 5/5 ============================================ One of the best moves a character can have going up against Onaga. These moves are some of the cheapest attacks in any fighting game. But it usually gets the job done. ============================================ Lava Burst : D,B+1 : Rating: 3/5 ============================================ This move is decent, it's able to stop them in their tracks and send them flying. There are some downsides, as you may me to far away to hit them or too close. __________ |Fatalities| +----------+ Switch to Fatality when announcer says,"Finish Him" Fatility 1: F,U,B,D,1 (Sweep) Fatality 2: D,F,B,F,2 (Close) Hari Kiri (When you have lost, input to kill yourself) U,B,B,B,2 ______ |Combos| +------+ Ba Shan Fan: 2,1,CS...2,2,U+4 33% 2,1CS...2,2,3 29% 2,1CS...2,2,1 29% 2,1,CS...2,2,4 29% 2,1,CS...2,2,CS 28%/30% Pi Gua: Throw, 2,2,1 Throw, 2,2,3 Throw, 2,2,4 -----------C-R-E-D-I-T-S-------------- Special Thanks: To the Midway crew who have never failed to impress us with the great games they have created.
