Introduction

This is not a combo heavy game. It’s all about neutral, decisions, pokes, and getting your gameplan going. Grabs start most combos and the biggest damage comes from some of those and your super reversals/super punishes. Hits can be interrupted into a grab but is fairly limited amongst the roster or in rare trades where the pushback is not substantial.

Gameplay

• Top meter is health and the one under it is the stun meter
• Your super is called a ‘Wrath attack’, it can be done once the monster icon at the bottom corner of your side of the screen is filled
  • Wrath attack builds via taking damage
  • Wrath increases the damage output of your regular attacks and throws
  • Wrath attacks can have unique properties. Examples include projectile invulnerability, unblockable, or even unique attack properties
• Blocking specials and supers builds Wrath attack meter but blocking normals does not
• Once the stun meter maxes out you go into a knockdown state and are susceptible to attacks. You get back up by pressing on the buttons
• When about half-screen away from your opponent your roar will add a small amount of stun to their stun bar, meaning once your opponent is about 25-30% away from stun you can let out a roar and stun them. Roars are unsafe so be careful. The closer you are, the stronger the stun given by the roar. All roars donate the same amount but the recovery is different and therefore a roar tier exists. Some characters get dizzy faster as well.
• If your stun meter is high enough to be filled after 2 roars get out of the situation asap or you could easily get stunned. And if you have your opponent close by and they have enough stun to be roared against roar your heart out. Even if they interrupt you with an attack, it means you can roar faster. The appropriate response is to attempt a throw if you want to avoid losing your Wrath status.
• Teched throws can be easily punished
• Simultaneous grapples cannot be broken by 4 button presses. A player must enter their throw command to end the hug.

Cheat Codes

To use the codes, you have to wait for the "Press Start" to flash on the screen. Just let the game start and load, and after it shows a few titles, the main title screen will appear and the "Press Start" will flash.

• Unlock Super Mechagodzilla - Hold L + R, Y, X, A, B

• Unlock Gotengo and Super Mechagodzilla - Hold L + R, press Up, Left, Right Down, Y, X, B, A

Exit Vs Mode - Hold L + R + Select, press start

Set Player as Com in Vs mode - Hold select and press A to choose the fighter. Can't remember if you have to keep holding before match starts. This is one of the few ways you can actually use Super MG or Gouten against the CPU.

Trivia

Projectiles Anguirus is the only character not to have a projectile in the game. That said, many projectiles fall into 2 categories which are either energy based or physical. Projectiles also carry hidden properties or durability.

Energy based are absorbable. Energy beam segments or flamethrowers for example. Some moves in the game repel or destroy projectiles in general.

Physical projectiles. Mostly missiles or rockets. Both Biollante's acid spray and acid lobs are not considered energy based however. A minute detail.

Most Unique Projectiles - Godzilla's Wrath is a special 5 segment beam. The durability is very strong and cuts through other projectiles fairly clean. It's also one of the few if not only projectile moves that pass through Biollante's wrath tentacles. It's also one of the few projectiles able to push Megalon's wrath backwards. Biollante's acid spray is one of the few moves that can negate all 5 segments. The initial wrath pulse is the only move in the game that can hit Gouten during its electric barrier attack.

- Mechagodzilla 74' (Showa) can release rockets when in flight mode. They do heavy stun and contribute to wrath meter without causing damage on contact when spinning. If you pause the screen when they spin they'll keep spinning. The durability of these rockets when moving downward is very high. They cut through most projectiles.

- Biollante's secondary command throw in a mirror match does little damage as she tears a piece off the other. Very cool detail. Too bad Mothra doesn't obey that rule with her strongest grab.

- Megalon's 4th and most complex throw can kick Biollante up off screen momentarily when closing a round.
