FIGHTING FORCE mini-FAQThis is my very first faq, so please bear
with me. Part of it is basedon Sherwin Tam's faq and the
Playstation manual (not much help from thelatter), but I felt I had
something more to add, like general tacticsand combos, especially
the extended combo no.2 - see COMBOS. This coolgame is based on
streetfighting games of the eighties, like DoubleDragon, Streets of
Rage and Final Fight (1990?) Anyway, it's good to seesomething else
than another average " 3-D 1-on-1 and may the best manwin"- title.
Ok, it's doesn't have 100 moves and combos like Tekken 2,but I'm
fully satisfied with the "street" style and simplicity itoffers,
combined with great gameplay, cool sounds and even
coolergraphics.Contents:1. CHARACTERS2. MOVES3. COMBOS4.
HINTS-N-TACTICS1. CHARACTERSBasically, all characters fight the
same way (like the characters inMortal Kombat), even if their
techniques are slightly different fromeach other. But the
characters are of course different in strength,stamina and speed,
so character selection alone represents a difficultychoice (i.e. 3
diff. x 4 fighters=12 difficulty levels): Smasher is pureforce, no
speed, Hawk is the average streetfighter type with a goodmixture of
all skills, Mace is his feminine counterpart (a little bitmore
ineffective, but faster), and Alana is for the hardened player,
whocan't get enough of getting his butt kicked. Try her on the HARD
level,and you'll have loads of fun :o)2. MOVES:Default
layout:Directions (D): Move.Triangle (T): Back-fist (punch behind
you) OR grab.Square (S): Kick OR throw away an object you are
carrying.Circle (O): Jump.Cross (X): Punch OR pick up objects.L1:
Zoom camera out (so you see if any baddies are approaching).Move +
R1: Run. Very useful. You should run almost all the time. Ifyou
just walk, it may be too boring or too hazardous, if you are
tryingto get away.Move + T: Grab. One of the most important moves,
and worth practicing.Works if you walk to an enemy and grab him at
close range.After grabbing an enemy:T or S or X: Throws or kick or
punch combinations. While holding any object: S: Throw object.While
holding bars, baseball bats, knives, bottles, etc.:X, X, X: Hit
combo. Weapons discard automatically after some time.Heavy
objects:X: Throw object.Pistol, bazooka, shotgun:X: Fire.While
running (Direction + R1):S: Aerial attack (flying kick, etc.)X: Low
attack (Slide or roll)3. COMBOS:X, X, X: Punch combo.S, S: Kick
comboT, T, T: Backfists, makes you turn around.S + X: Scuff kick.S
+ O: Jump and kick. X + O: 360-degree attack. Good when you are in
serious trouble, buttakes energy. To be used only in
emergencies.EXTENDED COMBO 1 (that is, "extended" for Fighting
Force):T, T, T, S, S, Direction + R1 + X.Stand with your back to
the enemy. When he is approaching, then backfistcombo, (you turn
around automatically), kick combo (he FALLS) and aground
slide.EXTENDED COMBO 2:Hawk combo:T, T, T, S, S, Direction + T, S
(keep hitting), Direction +R1 + X.Mace combo:T, T, T, S, S,
Direction + T, X (keep hitting), Direction +R1 + X.Again: facing
away, he approaches, backfist combo (you turn around),kick combo,
(he BLOCKS this time), you grab him and apply kick or punchcombo,
(he falls), and a ground slide. HAWK: when you grab, hit S
repeatedly. You will apply groin/stomachkicks, and won't stop until
the enemy dies. ESSENTIAL move, simply thebest, works with bosses
too, but requires a bit practice.MACE, when you grab, hit X. You
will slapthe enemy's face, and thatdrains energy, even though it's
not that effective as Hawk's.ALANA:SMASHER:No enemies will
interfer, if you grab one of them. They'll just stand upclose and
watch but they, however, will beat the hell out of you, if youdon't
do it right and do it accurate.HINTS-N-TACTICS:The ground slide is
very useful. With the slide you can apply moredamage to enemies on
the ground, you can escape from tight situations,and you can deal
with bosses.Never fight bosses face to face. Run, jump, slide, turn
back and dothe extended combo, anything else than walkingtowards
him and punching like a maniac. Never fight anyone face to
face,BTW. You will always lose some energy. Never ever get caught
between 2 gangsters. Run away or do the 360-move.Kick or punch
enemies on the ground. As long as nobody else approaches,you can
drain the gangster's energy with this, and it's effective.Weapons
can be thrown forward in the level, and saved for later use.Knives,
bottles, bars and especially guns - who says you have to usethem
now? Objects are placed in the game to be destroyed. WOODEN BOXES
containenergy powerups. The 1st and 3rd CAR contain a bazooka and a
shotgun.COLA MACHINES contain energy powerups. Everything that
moves or shakeswhen hit can be destroyed, and you also get a
Destruction Bonus, so whatare you waiting for? Dead gangsters too
leave sometimes energy powerups.When facing the Cryo soldiers, you
can actually run to the first one andkill him while the water is
pouring out.If you have any comments, cheats, etc. please email me
