|was totally wrong! This game rules! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the FAQ |
|and the set-up!                                                      |

|III. BASICS|
 -----------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|=========================1. Special Meters===========================|
|Super Special- This the first bar of the three Special Meters. This  |
|is the Super Special Meter. You start with this full, and if you use |
|it, it's easy to regain. This meter is usually a farely simple move  |
|to perform.                                                          |
|Stringed Special- This is the second bar of the three Special Meters.|
|This is the Stringed Special Meter. You start with this full, and if |
|you use it, it's harder to regain, but not really hard. This meter   |
|has some farely simple moves, only because you have to press the     |
|direction the game tells you to give it more damage.                 |
|X-Treme Special- This is the third bar of the three Special Meters.  |
|This is the X-Treme Special Meter. You have to keep hitting your     |
|opponent, or transfer from other bars to get this bar full. Once it's|
|full, this move can be devastating. The moves for this meter are     |
|usually harder to perform than the rest, because it gives long combos|
|and hard hits.                                                       |

|You don't really even need to know how to play to beat Cyclops, he's |
|that easy! Don't worry too much about anything, just keep beating him|
|down! He's Simple!                                                   |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Just keep hitting and throwing him.                                  |

|Strategy-                                                            |
|Wolverine is a slight bit harder than Cyclops, but not too much. He's|
|real simple, he just heals faster, so hit hard and fast. You may want|
|to use some specials, but when you use Specials, make sure you know  |
|how to use them!                                                     |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Hit him hard and fast.                                               |
|Try to use Specials, but make sure you know them.                    |

|Strategy-                                                            |
|You probably won't have a hard time with Gambit, but he's fast so if |
|you do a Special, know it, because if you miss, he'll probably hit   |
|real quick while your not prepared. Still, keep an eye on your life  |
|so you know when to stop using Specials, in fear of losing life.     |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Use Specials, and use the easiest ones.                              |
|Always watch your life.                                              |

|===============================4. Storm==============================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Storm is usually one of the hardest in the game, only because of her |
|long-range moves. I wouldn't worry too much, but be on your guard to |
|counter and throw whenever possible!                                 |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Don't overuse Specials, just use them every now and then.            |
|Look at your life, and make sure you're not letting her hit you.     |
|Throw whenever possible, they take a lot of damage!                  |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|===============================5. Beast==============================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Make sure he doesn't get combos on you, because they do some major   |
|damage! Just keep repeatedly bashing him, and using easy specials, he|
|shouldn't cause much problems if you do.                             |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Keep hitting him as much as possible.                                |
|Use some of your easier Specials to keep him from comboing on you.   |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|==============================6. Phoenix=============================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Phoenix can be deadly if you let her. Just keep calm and use Specials|
|a lot. I wouldn't get close, so try to do some moves that may get her|
|from the other side. Make sure she doesn't jump over to or near you, |
|if so, you may get some major damage dished to you.                  |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Keep away from her, most her moves are short-range.                  |
|Use Specials that are long-range.                                    |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|================================7. Toad==============================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Toad's really fast, so don't use many specials on him. Try to block a|
|little more, and Counter a lot. Don't overuse one method on him, he  |
|usually catches your drift and hits you right back.                  |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Make sure you can get a clear it before using a Special.             |
|He's fast, so hit hard and fast!                                     |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|==============================8. Mystique============================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Mystique is definately the hardest in the game, so don't worry if you|
|lose. You must hit her hard to drain more life, and fast to prevent  |
|her from hitting you with her move, the Cheap Shot. She overly uses  |
|her gun, so overly use your Specials!                                |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Throw as much as possible.                                           |
|Overuse your Specials, she uses her gun too much!                    |
|Try to attack, and if you can't, Counter.                            |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

|==============================9. Sabretooth==========================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Phew! Finished Mystiqe, now you have Sabretooth, who is incredibly...|
|easy?! Well, they made Mystique hard, and Sabretooth and Magneto real|
|easy, now you can beat the game! This strategy is pretty much like   |
|when you fight Cyclops, he's just easy.                              |
|Hints-                                                               |
|Use basic Wolverine Strategy, because He has a Healing Factor!       |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|==============================10. Magneto============================|
|Strategy-                                                            |
|Magneto is just simple, I would recommend staying close and throwing,|
|beacuse his range is quite long. Just keep hitting him until he's    |
|hurting, and about to be K.O.'d. He's real easy, just hit him.       |
|Hints-                                                               |
|If you get knocked away, hit him with a special, and run back to him.|
|Throw as much as possible.                                           |
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|===========================11. Gameplay Tips=========================|
|Throw whenever possible, doesn't matter who your battling.           |
|Use your Super Specials when you can actually hit the opponent.      |
|Some opponents are hard, so be patient.                              |
|Keep beating the opponent down to get some damage done.              |
