Ver. 2.00 (8/26/00)
2nd update...
Hi again!!! I'm sorry that I haven't updated this FAQ for a while, well you see, a lightning
crisp fried my Intel Celeron processor and sent it to "processor-heaven", but, that's also good
'coz my dad bought me a brand new Pentium III processor(last week)... he he he he he...
What's new?
1. New characters and moves ( except for the boss, Akujin)
2. Tips
3. minor corrections (check the disclaimer)...
I still don't have the special move for Michelle and Kobuchi, so if anyone knows it,
mail me, ASAP...
2. Gameplay and Introduction
This is made by NAPS and Infogrames...
This game is basically, beat 'em up that looks like a mix of Fighting
force and Streets of Rage. You can link your combos and sweep all the enemies
with a super move. You can also make use of some items(which I will
discuss as I go through the game) which incidentally is just lying around,
such as boxes, barrels, pipes and even cars.
To get the most out of the game you will need to play almost every
mode, with most of the characters.
There are different modes in the game but you will need to beat a certain mode first,
I will also discuss this as I go through he game.
Just a reminder, The world of Gekido isn't a nice one.
3. The Controls
Here are a list of the controls(default) in the game.
Button Menu In-Game(e.g.battles, etc.)
1. Direction Highlighting your selection Character Movement
2. /\ Triangle Cancel/Back/Exit Heavy Punch
3. [] Square N/A Light Punch
4. X X button Select/OK Kick
5. L1 N/A Jump
6. L2 N/A Crouch
7. R1 N/A N/A
8. R2 N/A Lock-on to the nearest
enemy
4. The Story
The story takes place in super modern Tokyo of the not too distant future.
This the story of Angela who was kidnapped by a gang led by a horrible demon named Akujin.
Travis, Michelle, Ushi and Tetsuo are sent to get her back.
As the game progresses, they get Gorilla, and Kobuchi (Akujin's henchmens) to join the
side of "good" and quest to eliminate Akujin. When Akujin is destroyed, Tokyo is now free and
evryone can relax again...
The story really has something to do, on how the plot is laid and which enemy and bosses the
player fights, and who they unlock when they complete the quest.
As the story really isn't the focus of the game, it's not terribly disappointing.
The real story here is....game-play, and lots of it.
5. Wipeout and Rage Moves
The Wipeout Move
The Wipeout Meter is a small red bar that is in the character area on the top of the screen,
it slowly increases as the character connects his attack, but it increases rapidly if he/she is
being hit by the enemy. Once it full, you can press all of the four shoulder buttons
(L1+L2+R1+R2) to perform the wipeout move. Each character has their own wipeout move.
Also, in the Urban Fighters mode, the wipeout move is always available, BUT, if you use it
without charging the bar to full, it will decrease your life bar. So, you should use it sparingly.
The Rage Move
The RAGE meter is a small blue bar that is also in the character area of the screen. As the
meter fills it will light up the three dark blue bars to right.(one at a time, as the rage meter
fills, and then starts over)
The rage meter increases with the flow of time, also slowly increases by successfully squashing
opponents, and even more quickly increases when player has been squashed by opponents.
Once it is fully charged all three dark blue bars at the right will be lit and blinking.
However you can use your "rage" at any level from one to three.
To use the rage moves, press the circle button on the controller.
1st RAGE Level:
When the player uses it, the player's fist starts to glow for a short time, but it also lets you
perform more special move, and when you beat a boss with this, watch for the effects!!!
2nd RAGE Level:
This will cause the player to knock down the enemies close to him,
and it will double each hit that is landed against an opponent.
(i.e. If you land a 5 hit combo, you will actually land a 10 hit combo)
3rd RAGE Level:
The player becomes invincible(except weapons and special attacks) for a limited time, each
combo landed will double the hits, and a special move, can be done, it is like a super wipeout.
If you use this move though it will use up your rage time instantly. This move will knock
down everything on the screen, and cause enormous damage to any enemies
So, it is a good idea to use the super wipeout when there is only a small amount of time, is
left for your level three rage.
6. The Characters/ Move List
Here are a few of the characters playable in the game, I have listed this so that you won't
hard time recalling their combos once they are available. I will try to update this, for the
other characters moves.
6.1. Travis
Travis is a balanced character. He's fast, and depends on punches
and his moves are street brawl based. I recommend him for beginners.
Michelle who can fool you by the way she looks,
Her fighting is military style kicking and punching. Michelle has a move
which allows her to completely jump over opponents. It's her one distinct
advantage over the other characters. Use it!!!! She also reminds me of Cammy in
the Street Fighter II V cartoon.

6.6 Kintaro

7.4 In-game tips...
The best time to use a 3rd level special "wipeout move" is at the end of the rage
time.(because using the wipeout move, ends the "rage")
When an opponent throws an object at you, you can grab it mid-air using the throw
buttons( kick + light punch, or light punch + heavy punch buttons).
You can avoid an object that's being "kicked" at you by jumping .
An object that's been "kicked" at you can be can blocked and sent back by hitting the
object when it is close to you.
You can beat a special move with a thrown object or another special move.
An opponent's "rage" can be ended throwing an object at them.
It's good to use the "lock" function on the controller, before you kick an object at
an opponent. That way no matter which way they jump, you keep facing them.
(and so does the item kicked at them)
By picking up the objects in the levels and arenas you will find tons of power-ups.
By picking up the heavy objects you will find weapons.
If you kick objects, you will remove the hidden bonus. This is a real downer, so
be sure to kick objects when necessary.
You can counterattack an opponent's throw or combo throw by pressing your own throw
combo( kick + light punch, or light punch + heavy punch buttons ).
This is tricky, because of the short time to do it.
If you stay crouched opponents can't grab you.
Before using your last bullet, check the ground and under objects for ammo.
Picking up enemy bodies will also elicit bonuses.
In the water-flowing-storm canal stage, it's better to throw enemies against the water or
to use the wipeout move as much as you can. You will lose a bit of energy but you
will have more time to find a way to escape.
Move away from bosses once you've knocked them down. Usually when they get
back up, they will use a wipeout move to make sure you're not standing next to them.
To easily crush the bikers you should use the "wipeout" move. The other ways
to beat them are to throw objects at them, or jump kick them off. It takes 2
attempts and you have to be very accurate. Once they knock you down, they will run
you over repeatedly. (It's safer to use the wipeout moves)
When the enemy "Martin" (hefty white dressed man) is on the screen, go straight for him. He
is always armed with a machinegun.
Dogs take priority over normal enemies. If they latch onto your throat they'll do
a lot of damage.
To avoid Ushi's special move, stay crouched.
If a standing opponent shoots at you, crouch. If he crouches, jump at him.
If you are playing a big character(Gorilla or Ushi). Wait until your opponents are on
top of a big object (or throw them on top of one), and then pick up the object and throw it.
If you are using a slow character, it's a good idea to use "lock mode" and don't move
the joypad. You will block opponents hits when they're doing a fast hit combo on you.
Michelle can jump over normal opponents, and get a cheap shot in their back from behind.
When playing multi-play, let your opponents wear each other down, then take
advantage of their weakness.
When playing multi-play, look for "cheap-shot" opportunities. When your opponent is
working on his other enemy, attack him from behind and juggle him against the other enemy. (or
hit him with objects from across the arena.)
8. Gameshark Codes
Here are some of the codes that are to be used with a gameshark(Action Replay or Interact
Gameshark recommended), use them at your own risk, I have used these codes and they worked
on my console. Just a reminder, using these codes really ruins the fun of the game so I recommend
that you should only use it when you have finished the game a couple of times, and you only want
to blow the s#@t out of those annoying enemies. Or simply, you just want to have some fun... ;P
