Pain looks like an experimetal being from a Science Lab. He has a pair of sharp blades for his hands. He is not as fast but most of his moves does more damage due to the fact that, most of it involves his hands which are made up with blades. He likes to do a lot of jumping attacks, so beware. He is all white from head to toe, much like a mummy, and his stage is none other than Science Lab itself. * Pain's moves 1) Pain: F,B,F, WP,SP (C) (Ouch) 2) Agony: B,D,F, WK (B-) (OOOOP) 3) Suffering: F,D,B, SP (C) (Ugh) Combos 1) Slow Agony(10 Hits): F,D,F,B, WP 2) The Distance of Death(20 Hits): F,D,F,B, WP then D,F,B, SK 3) Eternal Pain(40 Hits): F,D,F,B, WP then D,F,B, SK then B,F,B, WK 4) Combo Breaker: F,D,F, SP _____________________________________________________________________________ -DEATH (8.4) * Death is a final boss of this game. He is the one who appears at the intro screen. He wears black coat and his face is none other then death itself; the skull. He is equipped with a sharp scythe which he uses for his weapon. His stage looks and feels like hell. It is much like Scorpion's Tomb in the Mortal Kombat Movie. Everything you see is red. Death fights mainly with the weapon of his as mentioned above. Good luck * Death's moves 1) Rolling Death: B,D,F, SP (B-) (Ouch, Ouch, Ouch) 2) Deadly Slide: D,B,F, WP (C-) (Ooop, Ooop, Ooop) 3) Smoking Kill Ya!: F,D,B, SP (D) (Sucks!!!!) 4) Teleport: F,D,B, WP (C-) (Old, Boooooring) Combos 1) Damned Crypt(10 Hits): F,D,B, SK 2) Worms or Earth(20 Hits): F,D,B, SK then D,D,F, WP 3) Final Scythe(40 Hits): F,D,B, SK then D,D,F, WP then B,D,F, SK 4) Combo Breaker: F,B,F, WK _____________________________________________________________________________ Character Endings This section will describe the ending story of the characters in the story mode of the game. I have beaten the story mode in Zombie skill level and the game treated me warmly with an animation sequence and then death read the story while it was being displayed. The ending sequence of this game was not the best, but it kicks butt on the endings of some other fighting games.(eg, Mortal Kombat serious which really stinks.) I have not been able to beat the game with everybody yet, but the following are the characters that I beat the game with.(Note, I am only writing down the story death read. Not the animation sequence, that is for you to beat the game and find out.(it would be no fair to spoil the fun, right?) The following are not word for word and may be little different. PANTERA After her horrible experience, she wasn't strong enough to endure live again. Because of this fact, she killed herself. If I hold another tourna- ment, I can wake her again. PAINBRINGER How could a robot become a washing machine?. Well, that is one mystery that we will have to solve. PAIN After winning a tournament, Pain was appointed by a Swiss painter and was than casted as a star in the movie trilogy. Because of his role in the movie, Deaths' long time slave Pain became famouse and wealthy. Pain now lives in a beautiful, giant penthouse of his own; complete with swimming pool; A Ferrari and lives with a beautiful blond. MURGAN Are you sure what happens next? Really sure?. Really really sure?. If so, go and buy the sequal, don't imagine it. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. URIEL Once Uriel got into heaven, god told Uriel to go to hell, and killed the first guardian. This was the first move taken for the battle. DEATH Well done, my friend. What will be the reward of finishing the tournament for? Well, I'm not sure, but I can be of cheats!!!(Note, Death does not have an ending animation, but instead, gives you different cheat codes everytime you beat the game with him, they are mentioned at the secret stuff section below.) MAELSTROM I think this is a punishment worse than alive. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. XENOBIUS In the next century, only one will prevail, King Xenobius. But Now, This is pointless ANUBI Probably, he still doesn't understand what's happened... but now he is happier than before JAN FUN Everybody thought he was dead. He WAS dead. But now he lives again with the respect of his family. I am curious to meet his son. WOLFRICH Vahalla, the heaven. He could live in piece again. But how, we could be seeing him in sequal. RATINGS FOR CHARACTER ENDING ANIMATION The following are my opinions of the looks of each character ending animati -on sequence. The animation for the endings for this game is not very long, with exception for Pantera and Maelstrom(Which is just a bit longer). Feel free to disagree with the ratings below. *10 is being the best and 1 being the lousiest* Pantera: 8.8 Painbringer: 5.0 Pain: 8.9 Murgan: 7.1 Uriel: 8.6 Death: -- Maelstrom: 9.0 Xenobius: 7.7 Anubi: 7.5 Jan Fun: 6.7 Wolfrich: 6.6 SECRET STUFFS Well, If you are a person who cannot play the game without cheats or secr -ets, the following are yours. They are the various codes which make this great game even better. Play as the boss, get infinite lives, etc. If you are interested in those, try these cheats. The following have all been confirmed. NEEDNOBATTERIES: Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. It lets you play the PFD on gameboy type of screen. It is really cool, try it. TOONSOUND : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. It makes the announcers voice really high pitched and changes some of the sound effects. YEOLDEGAME : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. When you pause the game, you will be faced the challenge of the past; the game of PONG!!!! MEETTHEGUYS : Type it in in the credits screen. After you type it, you will see the screen changes to a menu where you can select the game you want to play. That's right, it is a hidden game. You'll love this one.(If you win, you get to fight as Pain: if you did not use the code yet) SENDMEFASTER : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. This will make the game 3X faster; much like arcade. (Some characters, such as Pantera or Pain, you will notice the difference.) BLOOBABLOOBA : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. This will let you play under the sea.(whichever stage you choose will be in the water.) This is cool but it slows down the game considerably, so it's up to you. GREATWHITEGUY : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. This will put PAIN into the 'choose your soul' screen. That's right, you get to be him and he will be there to stay until you delete the game. WIZARDRULES : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. This will put DEATH into the 'choose your soul' screen. You can now play the game as the final boss and he will be at your control until you delete the game. ETERNALCOINS : Type it in in the credits screen and wait for the gong. This will enable infinite lives(credits)in one player game. * Extra * After the boss characters gets enabled in your roster of fighers in the select screen, they will also appear in the 'figher's section and will show you the intro of them as well as other characters. * In order for these codes to work, be patient and type them in until you hear the gong.(It might take several tries. so be patient type those in) * STRATEGY AGAINST BOSS CHARACTERS PANTERA: If you are using Pantera, you have one advantage over other characters. You have two very effective moves against them. They are Super Kick attack(Both kicks together), and Spinning Assault move. 1)PAIN: PAIN is not as fast but he almost makes up for it with his super damaging moves and combos. Also, he does not get stunned at all because he does not even have the stun bar.The strategy against him is to use her Super Kick attack as the first attack. Whether he blocks that move or not, immediately do Spinning Assault move. It should hit him at least twice and makes him kneel. Repeat the Spinning Assault Move 2 or 3 more times, then quickly jump back. then repeat the pattern. Rememb -er, he is the sub-boss, so he should not be taken lightly. If you ever miss the move and gave him any chance to attack you, he will eat you for lunch. Be careful and always watch-out for his jumping attacks if you are crouching. 2)DEATH: Fighting Death is similar in fighting PAIN but with few exceptions. He is even slower in moves than Pain, but his moves are even more damaging due to his Scythe. With Pantera, The first move should also be her Super Kick Attack, then, the victory is yours if you can make him stay in one place. After the first attack hits, just keep doing the Spinning Assault over and over again. Don't ever pause and give any chance for him to attack you or you'll be history. PAINBRINGER: With Painbringer, you have to think fast and plan ahead. It is not very easy to beat the boss with him since he is pret -ty slow. His moves are fairly damaging, but his sluggishn -ess certainly hurts. Following are the ones you can try. 1)PAIN: If you are facing PAIN with Painbringer, Good luck, because, PAIN has a lightning speed compare to him. The first attack should be a jumping kick to get clo -se to him and keep on attacking regular punches.(Do -n't ever repeat the same regular punch more than 3 times, otherwise, PAIN will attack you where you are not prepared. If you are playing defensively, just keep on throwing the projectiles(especially, the larger fireball); but, this will not trick him for long. Since PAIN loves to do jumping attacks which can nail you if you try to throw projectiles repeatedly. Good Luck. 2)DEATH: You have managed to beat PAIN?. Good for you, becau -se DEATH is really an easy opponent for you. Death does not have any projectile move or any long range attacks. All he has are the close range moves that has to deal with his Scythe. The way of defeating him is easy. Keep on throwing your two kinds of projectiles. Since DEATH barely jumps, this will get you relatively easy victory. Just watch out if he teleports, then, you are in trouble. If he does teleport, Jump back right away to avoid any of his fierce attacks.(Death's move does more damage than PAIN, so beware). PAIN: If you activated the cheat to use this sub-boss character as your own, You'd be glad that you did. It is because, if you use him as your character, and play one player game, you'll beat the game without ever losing(That is of course, if you use the pattern that always work). He does not have any distance moves, but, his power of the moves almost make up for it that turns your enermy to a bloody pulp. He is easy to use, and since you cannot be stunned, the opponent cannot have the opportunity to attack you right away after an uppercut, sweep or breaker. 1) PAIN: You are now fighting yourself. Isn't that exciting?. Well, not to worry, computer controlled Pain is... Well, lets just say, doesn't know how to fight. Just keep on using your Slide Move(D+Both Kicks) repeatedly with some occasional Super punch Attacks(Both Punches), then the victory is yours. Just watch out if the computer controll -ed Pain ever jumps. If he jumps, immediately stand up and hold B to defend or you're history. 2) DEATH: Death?, Really no problem, repeat what you did to the Pain. As long as he is standing, attack. If he teleports, just keep hitting both kicks or punches, it will hit him. Eaaaaasy Victory!!!! MURGAN: If you put this character up against the bosses, good luck. It's because he does not have any effective moves to use against the bosses and also, he is pretty slow. You have to think quick and be smart to beat the boss. 1) PAIN: Just great, the toughest opponent you will ever fight against. There really isn't a whole lot strategy here, just get close and use flurry of punches and kicks. Use a lot of sliding kick moves but don't, repeat don't use it too many times. If you do and if you ever try to use specials or combo on him, you will kiss the ground and become an easy punching bag for Pain. 2) DEATH: Think you can beat the final boss since he was not that strong with the characters who have been mentioned above? Can't be any different, right?. Well, think again. With Murgan, Death can be a nastiest bum. The strategy here is to avoid his teleport and his super damaging moves. Try to use occasional super uppercuts mixed with sliding kick move. But, DO NOT use it too many times. If Death is far away, try to use Life mastering move. Since that move takes away a little energy of your opponents' and makes it yours, as long as death is far away, you can get out of some dangerous situations by it. Good luck, and always watch out if he jumps or teleports because it could turn you into a bloody mass. URIEL: The second female character in this game. She is actually, one of the best and deadliest character to use against the computer contro -lled fighters. She is not as easy to use compare to Pantera becau -se about all of her specials don't do that much of a damage. So Uriel players must take this into account and be very careful. 1) PAIN: Oh no, The great white guy again. He is actually quite hard to beat with Uriel. Since he has a little bit of edge in speed than her and a lot more powerful attacks, it really is not easy to beat Pain. Uriel is one of the best to use against regular opponents if you mix all the power she has(you know, like standard attacks, Specials, Sweeps, Uppercuts, etc.), but none of those tactics work against Pain. The strategy against him is to use a lot of jumping attacks. More than 90% of your attack should be the jumping ones, since Pain is really smarter when you play as Uriel then you play as other characters. He will fight mainly by jumping at you. It will be the toughest fight you will fight in this game, so stay out of the danger and jump kick or punch, followed by 2 or 3 standard Punches or kicks then jump back immediately and repeat the pattern. If you ever get caught by Pain, You will be singing SOPRANO!!!! 2) DEATH: As usual, Death is a bit easier opponent to fight again -st. This time though, you really have to watch out, because Death teleports a way too many times. If you are attacking and if he teleports, 9 of 10 times, he will hit you. The best strategy is to use your Blade's Attack move as your first move than if he comes in close or teleports, uppercut him or sweep him. If the first try doesn't hit, try 2 or 3 more times. If he still blocks it, jump away, it is best to avoid his attack. Whenever he is far away, use your Blade's Attack. Try to keep some distance on him and use your projectile. He is not very fast, so if he slowly walks towards you, either use your Wings of Death move or your sweep attacks. They are both multi-hits, and if you time it correctly, it will nail him at least twice. Just watch out if he teleports, the victory can be yours if you can make him stay away. Good luck. DEATH: Ah, the final boss character that you can fight as. Unfortunately, he is really, rather slow to use. Most of his moves are a short range moves and should not be used against the well-rounded characters such as Pantera, Painbringer, Uriel or Xenobius. If you are using Death in one player game, you will have to hope for the luck to be on your side. Just think quick and always becareful. PAIN: Just great, the toughest and the most pain in the neck character ever. Pain can be described as impossible to beat, especially when your fighter is Death. The same strategy never works more than twice against this monster. Just figure out the best strategy yourself. One hint is, use a lot of his Rolling Death attack which is a multi-hit. DEATH: Well, Let's see. Death?. Really, I mean, really no proble- mo. Just get close to him if you can, and use a flurry of punches, or you can easily beat him by using his Rolling death move over and over.(even though it is boring to win like that. just mix in some uppercuts, or slides.) MAELSTROM: A being without soul?. Well, if you are using him, good luck. Maelstrom is one of the worst character in the game. There are lots of enemies who are far more dangerous than him. He has acceptable speed, but the lack of quality moves cost him a fortune. Good luck. PAIN: Impossible. that is only one word that I can think of. He does a whole lot of jumping attacks, which almost always hits before you if you are the one who is jumping also. Well, the special moves are best not to be used on him. The way I used is Slide as a first move, then use Super Uppercut, Jump back immediately, Slide, regular Uppercut, Jumpback, Jump kick, Super Uppercut, then repeat the pattern. In speed, you are not too far behind with this guy, but in moves and power, you really can't come close to Pain. So watch out. DEATH: Death?. EasiERR opponent then Pain. Jump attack first, Uppercut, Jump back immediately, do a Super Kick(Both kicks together). Uppercut, Jump back then repeat. By the way, you should not, repeat not, allow death to get any oppotunity to attack you, also, if he telepor- ts, be very very carefull, because it is not going to be something that will help you. One thing at least that is fortunate for you is that you have slight advantage in speed then Death. So use your speed wisely because otherwise, you will fall into the hell forever. XENOBIUS: Well, if you pit this guy against the boss characters, good luck. It is because he is not as good as he seems like. At leas -t against the bosses. He has acceptable speed, but the lack of quality moves almost always cost you the victory. So Good Luck. PAIN: Oh god. Just what you need. Just whom that will send you to hell right away. Pain is really Pain in the neck. With Xenobius, it is almost impossible to score a hit. Even though Xenobius has a little bit of edge in speed, he is just not strong enough to beat Pain. In here, the best strategy is to avoid using any special moves or combos. Also, try to be close to him. I barely beat this guy by Jump kick to start, then keep hitting SK repeatedly with -out ever pausing. It is not easy even if you do that. I just got lucky that I beat him like that. Another thing is that, keep on hitting SK does not affect him for long, he will usually nail you with his slide. I beat him by trapping him at the corner. Well, Good Luck. DEATH: Death?, a sitting duck? he is really dumb and easy to beat with Xenobius. The strategy is, get close, and keep hitting SK for the whole round. Death is dumb and since he does not have any distance move, he just stands there and takes the punishment. You can also try to score the perfect round if you use that tactic. Have fun. ANUBI: If your character is Anubi, may god help you. He is considered as one of the not-so-great character. Well, not as lousy as some of other characters such as Jan Fun, or Wolfrich, he is rather hard to use and can be described as an advanced players fighter. His speed is not bad, but most of his specials are downright slow to pull it off which gives the computer-controlled fighters to easily take advantage of. Good luck. PAIN: Oh gees, well, maybe not, pain is not as threatning as other characters so far. All you have to do is try to get in close without being hit(which is the trickiest part), than keep on hitting B+WK or SK repeatedly. You can also use occasion- al B+Punch(any punch) in addition to the kick. If you can, try to trap him to the corner, then you will be the winner. Death: Well, It is hard to believe that this character is a final boss. Death is so plain dumb and stupid who just stands in one place and takes the punishment. All you have to do is keep some distance and keep on using your low fireball attack. If he gets in any close, use B+WK or SK about 3 or 4 times to send him further again, then repeat the fireball. Have fun JAN FUN: Oh boy, so he is your character now, well, may god bless you. You will really really have tough time to score any hit with this guy. His specials don't come out half the time, His speed sucks, and of all he has are kind of hard to pull it off. You will be lucky if you ever make it to the mirror match. But hey, the choice is yours. PAIN: Ooooouh, BOY. Just what we need. The white mummy. Well, in this case, I don't know how I managed to beat this monst- er, so it is on your own for him. I don't have any idea of how I came to beat this guy,(even thought I did beat him, with only about 2 percent of energy left). DEATH: Well,Well,Well. What have we here?. If you are using Jan Fun, chances are, 9 out of 10 times, you will be defeated. Normally, your first attack, which should be your fireball, always hits death, but, afterwords, he just keeps on teleporting and catch you offguard. So, the strategy here is to avoid having him close by frequn- t jumps, then, use your fireball, and if you can use his triple spinning kick,(Even though that move will require you a lot of practice since it involves a lot of movemen- ts.)make a good use of it. Good luck. WOLFRICH: Well, if Wolfrich is your man, you have chosen a better fighter than Jan Fun. It is because, even though he is rather slow and bulky, he is far away from worst of the pack when you compare him to Jan Fun. You will have an easy ride of beating your opponent.(Just use the power uppercuts and sweep over and over, and even if your opponent blocks it half the time, if you keep doing it, it will eventually hit them and catch them off guard.) Good luck. PAIN: P.A.I.N. Right?. Well, good luck. You may have to activ- ate the eternal coins cheat, otherwise, you will never be able to confront Death. The strategy is, use mainly, your Super Uppercut, mixed in with Slide and Sweep, jump back, pattern. But, try to varie that pattern, because Pain will not fall for it for long. Good luck. DEATH: Are you sure this character is the final boss?. I can't believe it. It is because, he is no competition against Wolfrich. All you have to do is use your super uppercut for the whole match(with a 3 or 4 sweeps). He is so dumb and stupid and takes the punishment through the whole match. Just watch out if he ever jumps or telep- orts, and break the combo if he ever use it on you then immediately counter with the super uppercut again. have fun.
