1000 – Introduction to this guide

Hi all, this is my first attempt to write a guide so just bear with me,
basically this is to make things as easy as possible for you, the player,
to beat, unlock and hopefully enjoy this game.

Now many of you are asking “why did he make a guide for this game?” well
mainly I see a lot of people whine and complain on forums, getting stuck
on missions, wondering what codes there are, and so on, and not to
mention that there aren’t any guides out there for this game that I know
of (a side from the one you can buy for $25).

In here you’ll find strategies for beating each characters story-mode
missions, some cheats and maybe even some useful (or useless) trivia!

So with out further adieu, I give you MARVEL NEMESIS: RISE OF THE
IMPERFECTS!

=====================================================

1001 – Controls/Movements in game (Game Cube)

====================================================

1002 – Characters

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I have separated all the characters in to THREE separate categories:
FLYER, MELEE/TANK, and SLINGERS.


A Flyer is a character that, you guessed it, FLIES! These characters

usually have poor melee skills, and rely on quick flying attacks.



A Melee/Tank character is someone that is strictly hand to hand combat,

only a few have a projectile attack but rely heavily on melee attacks to

win matches.


Slingers are basically a cross between melee and fliers, they have the

ability to swing and zip line to a destination very quickly.

------------------------------------------------------------------

1002.1 – Marvel Characters

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Our beloved heroes are here to save the day! Too bad during story mode
you pretty much have to kill off a few just to finish the game. Has any
one ever noticed that when a threat occurs, the heroes are able to
organize like in ten seconds to fight the enemy, and then villains are
pretty much picking their noses when they’re supposed to be anticipating
a retaliatory action..?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thing – One of the larger melee Marvel characters in the game, he’s a
heavy hitter, good at just slugging it out with enemies, Specials consist

even when your super bar is low and do double damage with punches. Can perform
a 4-hit clawed combo with the 4th being an upper-cut(must have at least 25%
super bar and stand about 3-5 feet from enemy).

Spider Man – The first middle weight slinger for the Marvel side, he’s

Daredevil – A light weight slinger, similar to Electra, uses Billy-clubs
as a ranges special attack, I consider him to be a “slinger” character
due to his use of Billy-clubs for mobility, his specials consist of a
very devastating Billy-club toss that has amazing knock back.

-I'll make you a deal, I'll let you make the first move!

1002.2 – Imperfects

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the Imperfects, what can I say about them? Well: they’re ripping off
Marvel characters; they’re generally stronger, in the fact that all but
one can lift cars, and have similar powers to existing characters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wink – The one and only real light weight melee Imperfect, teleports
instead of running, she’s actually the weakest Imperfect because she can
not lift cars, she’s pretty much a cross between Wolverine and Night
crawler (thought Night crawler is not in the game), minus the healing
factor, her specials consist of combining the single claw on the back of
each hand and her teleportation.

stabs in the back, teleport to the right of the enemy stabs, teleports in

blocked by super block, or dodged). Can get a ring out by upper-cutting an
enemy over a "pit" and then doing a regualar air grapple(shoulder tackle) to

Finisher: Grabs enemy’s head pushes them slowly to the ground while

special attacks consist of mini-earthquakes.

-And now I take a bow!

extended, even when your super bar is low and do double damage with punches.

Finisher: Spins around kicking enemy in the face, then, digs both seismic-claws
in to the enemy, activates tremor knocking them on to their back, jumps on top
of them & begins to jackhammer them into the ground for three seconds and then
gets off.
