He was in Trilogy where he gained the most for his fighting skills. Who knows what the future lies for him. Bio 1: Nightwolf has foreseen the coming of the Dragon King in his dreams. To defeat this new menace, he must corrupt his own soul and enter the Netherrealm. The process will alter his temperament and make him a danger to even his allies. He must travel alone if he is to succeed. Bio 2: Unlocked at: Koffin LE for 265 Platinum Koins The Sin-Eater ritual has corrupted my soul and will therefore allow me to enter the Netherrealm. There I will implement my plan to defeat Onaga. The sins I have absorbed have poisoned my temperment however and I have forced myself into exile until my task is complete in the depths of hell. First Person Bio: As the Shaman of my tribe, my connection with the super natural has been interrupted by visions of a dark presence. To confront this foe, I have assumed the role of Sin-Eater to absorb the sins of my tribesmen. I must embrace this corruption, though I will eventually become a threat to those I care for. It is a necessary evil if I am to save the realm. Default Costume: This is regular Nightwolf. He has indian paint with indian clothing and an indian bandana. Yep you guessed it, he's an indian. Alternate Costume: Unlocked at: A-4/Netherrealm You need to complete his quest he has you do and then you have to return and defeat him three times. He'll grant you the key to unlocking his alternate attire. This is a very unusual looking Nightwolf. He has a mowhawk and no is supporting shades. He has some Native American cloth that he wears like armor. I've been informed that his costume is from a game on the SNES entitled Killer Instinct. Ending Summary: (SPOILERS) Nightwolf comes to a sacred burial ground and summons the Dragon King to him, there they fight and in a last effort, Nightwolf kills the Dragon King once and for all. --------------- Nightwolf Notes --------------- What is good about him? You may think he doesn't have good skills but he actually does, using Spirit arrow followed by Rhino Charge will leave anyone in the dust. He has some nice combos and style branching techniques which aren't nearly as impossible as some I have encountered in Konquest. What is not good about him? Nightwolf lacks the weapon power that many other people excellerate at. (i.e Scorpion and Barraka) But they do have better combos than other players have, since they focus on one hit wonders where Nightwolf focuses on four hit devours. ----------- Strategies ----------- What works well against the CPU? There is no way that the CPU will be able to stop the Spirit arrow to Rhino Charge. Keep that up and you will have no trouble, at least into you come to Onaga. He has some nice tomahawk combos which can get them unblocking the combo above. What works well against veteran players? The only thing that works on veterens is the ability to mix up your attacks and use something they don't see often. Try his other specials and when they least expect it, pull ou the old Spirit Arrow Rhino Charge combo. What works well against medicore players? Unless the person is someone who watches you continously and knows you will dominate with one single combo. Mix it up with his other combos and specials to defeat them. What works well to hit them into Death Traps? Rhino charge should do the trick, you can also use some of his Tae Kwon Do kicks since that is what it heavily focuses on. You can try some tomahawk things out if those aren't working for you. What can stop him? Like other characters the Rhino Charge will be one of the cheapest moves used against you, I suggest combo breaking it and then turning the tables on him to use all of your combos on him. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ 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+ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______ ___/Valtudo\__________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------- Move Name Button Combination --------------------------------------- Gut Punch.............1 Low Snake Bite........D+2 Overhead Smash........B+1 Razor Elbow...........2 Rising Sun............U+2 Hammer Fist Uppercut..D+2 Knee Crush............3 Leg Sweeper...........B+3 Valtudo Striker.......U+3 Creeping Leg..........D+3 High Kick.............4 sweeping Cyclone......D+4 Rush Punches..........1,1 Beat Down.............1,1,3 Rapid Chain Punches...1,1,1 Red Sky...............1,1,1,CS,4 Dirty Trick...........1,1,1CS,B+3,3 ___________ ___/Tae Kwon Do\______________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------- Move Name Button Combination --------------------------------------- Side Kick............1 Hook Kick............B+1 Setting Palm Punch...D+1 Downward Axe Kick....2 Rolling Heel Kick....B+2 Peaceful Uppercut....D+2 Spinning Heel Kick...3 Leg Tap..............D+3 Ankle Smash..........B+3 2Hit Axe Kick........4 Nitro Kicks..........B+4 Tapping Low Kick.....D+4 Clearness of Mind....4,4 Take Out.............B+3,3 Peaceful World.......1,1,B+2 Wild Things..........4,B+3,3 Warpath..............1,1,CS _________ ___/Tomahawks\________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------- Move Name Button Combination --------------------------------------- Sidewinder Slap......1 Twin Peak............B+1 Bis Mo...............U+1 Thigh Chop...........D+1 Mid Section Strike...2 Slashing Talons......F+2 Stone Hilt Uppercut..D+2 Twisting Edge........3 Shin Buster..........B+3 Foot Chop............D+3 Middle Kick..........4 Stomach Chop.........D+4 Stone Hammer.........1,2 Swift Wind...........1,3,2 Savage Edge..........1,1 Revenge..............1,2,F+2 Head Hunter..........1,2,2 Scalping Time........1,2,3,4 ________ ___/Specials\_________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== TH : Trip Up Rating: 3/5 ============================================================================== A week throw indeed, I know midway was trying to make everyone's throw different and do about the same damage. But they should take the damage by how much it would actually hurt. ============================================================================== D,B+1 : Spirit Arrow Rating: 5/5 ============================================================================== With this attack, Nightwolf pulls out a bow and shoot his opponent with a Spirit Arrow, it may not seem like something but it does a nice bit of damge and can quickly be followed up by a Rhino Charge for great damage. Use this often. ============================================================================== F,F+4 : Rhino Charge Rating: 5/5 ============================================================================== A take-off on Johnny Cage's little power slide, this causes great damage and if you shoot a Spirit Arrow right before you can follow it up with this for some truly powerful stuff, this can also be used to knock your opponent flying off a building. ============================================================================== D,U,1 : Lightning From Above Rating: 3/5 ============================================================================== I never liked these attacks, as they are very hard to hit the target unless they are stopped. When it's first shot off where the opponent is, is where it will hit. So they have about a second to move out of the way and dodge it. Even if it's close they will still dodge it. From: scross3427 He says, this can be extremely effective at the end of a combo, your opponent is down and cannot block this, so it does a lot of damage. ============================================================================== F,B,2 : Reflection Rating: 4/5 ============================================================================== A nice move right here, using this you can absorb your opponents attack and shoot it right back. There is one downside to this and that is it is hard to execute. But if you can reflect it, they will take some massive damage. __________ ___/Fatalities\_______________________________________________________________ Switch to Fatality when announcer says,"Finish Him" B,F,B,F,1 : Fatility 1 (Must be far away) Description: Nightwolf takes out a tomahawk and, doing a little spin, throws the tomahawk at the opponent. the weapon gets lodged at the opponent's head (the face, actually) and they fall face up to the floor dead while Nightwolf raises his fist in the air and lets out a "yeah!" D,F,D,U,2 : Fatality 2 (Sweep) Description: He again takes out one of his tomahawks, holds it up in the air and says something Indian (Wha?). Then he decapitates his opponent with just one big chop! The head flies straight up and Nightwolf catches it with his hand. While the now headless opponent falls to the floor dead, Nightwolf lets out a yeah!" and holds hisopponent's still profusely bleeding, severed head in the air. U,U,U,U,3 : Hari Kiri (When you can be finished) Description: Nightwolf takes out a tomahawk again and he throws it up in the air. then he raises his arms and the tomahawk flies down and gets lodged in its owner's chest. Nightwolf falls to the floor dead with blood squirting from his tomahawk-lodged chest. ========================== Frequently Asked Questions ========================== Q: What is Hari Kiri? A: A new fataility in which, your opponent commits suicide. Q: Something's wrong with your move list, what should I do? A: You should contact me so I can give you credit and change it. -----------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.
