1002.3 - The Imperfect goons

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

Just added these for story mode, just so you guys know how much damage
these guys can take, and how much they can dish out.

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

Invader – They’re the weakest of the weak, they do little damage, and
take little damage, the first enemy you face, can lift barrels only,
blade combos are annoying.

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

Decapitator – Basically bigger and stronger versions of Invaders can lift
cars, and take more damage, that’s about the only difference.

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

Eviscerator – Exactly like Invaders except they only grapple and when
they do they suicide bomb you, doing minimal damage, but if you counter
grapple they just blow them selves up or if you quick you can kill them
very easily.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Mauler – Now here’s a really unhappy camper, a little more difficult to
kill has a fair amount of health, can lift cars and can do
mini-earthquakes like Fault zone.

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

Obliterator – A modified Mauler, instead of tremors, he shoots energy
projectiles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ravager – Modified Invader that shoots energy projectiles, no melee
attacks, that’s it.

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

Marauder – The first flying unit in the game flies around randomly and
shoots at you.

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

Desolator – Same as Marauder.

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

Predator – Same as Marauder and Desolator.

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

1003 – Story Mode

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

This portion of the guide is for story mode, which apparently a lot of
people have problems with, either unable to get through the first level
with Thing due to a glitch (if this is the case; I would like to direct
you to section 1005 - Cheats to by-pass this glitch), some missions being
extremely difficult, or just that you have some other “moral” issues with
it. I for one found story mode to be exactly what it’s supposed to be, a
story mode for a fighting game, although with mission oriented twists, I
also say that its better than the usual fighter story mode where you
merely fight one person at a time until you meet the final boss (like in
Street Fighter and/or Mortal Combat). Granted you have to go through it
to unlock over two-thirds of the levels and characters, but luckily I
have included a cheat section for all you slackers. But for those
interested in getting things (including all cards, comics and movies) via
story here you go:

There are three different types of mission in Story Mode


Regular missions: You have a set objective, like; kill a number of
enemies, destroy targets and so on.


Bonus missions: Usually destroy, or kill a set number of enemies or
targets within a time limit.


Sacrifice missions: This occurs when all characters in the mission select
screen have completed their 3 Regular missions, and the mission select
screen turns Red, at which point when you select a character you wish to
sacrifice, you will not play as that character, rather you will play as
either an Imperfect, or Altered (“evil-clone”) Marvel character, and use
them to kill the target Marvel Character.


I found there is one way to unlock about 90% of all the movies, cards,
characters and comics in one play through story mode, please not that I
have left out a few characters that you will have to play as during the
game, just beat their first 3 missions and bonus and let them be, only
the characters that face Imperfects will unlock 90% of the game:


Thing missions 1 - 3 and bonus missions

Wolverine missions 1-3

Sacrifice Thing

Storm missions 1-3

Wolverine's bonus missions

Storm 1-3

Sacrifice Wolverine

Storm bonus

Electra missions 1-3

Daredevil missions 1-3

Sacrifice either Daredevil or Electra

Daredevil/Electra’s (who ever is left) bonus missions

Venom mission 1-3 and bonus

Sacrifice Daredevil/Electra or Venom

Spider man mission 1-3 and bonus missions

Sacrifice (who ever is left from the following) Spider man,
Daredevil/Electra or Venom

Iron man missions 1-3 and bonus

Sacrifice Iron man


At this point you will only have Magneto and he automatically plays out
all his missions and then it will lead you to Paragon's missions, and
boom your done, there are however a few cards you may have missed due to
other characters SACRIFICE missions but if your not too picky you don’t
have to go through again, just to recap: Only sacrifice characters that
get killed by Imperfects, other than that use "extra" characters only for
their first 3 missions and bonus missions to unlock cards and comic
books.


In closing the characters that you should sacrifice to unlock the other
characters are (in this order I believe): Thing, Wolverine, Electra,
Daredevil, Venom, Spiderman, Iron man, and Magneto.


HAPPY HUNTING!

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

1003.1 – Thing

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

Mission 1 – Invasion - Card# 1

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

Simple mission, the game’s first tutorial; learn to jump, run and do
basic attacks, first run straight, punch the wall of cars three times to
break them (this is where I heard the PS2 version glitches, no enemies
show up and player is left with nowhere to go; at which point go to
section 1005 - Cheats to by-pass this glitch), once that happens you
should see an enemy (Invader) teleport in and taunt you, go up to him &
lay the smack down on his invading butt! After that you’ll see two more
teleport in on the other side of the bridge you can wait and let them
come to you or you can take the fight to them, either way it’s up to you,
once you beat them to a pulp, a cinematic will show a flaming green
“dough-nut” shaped rock on the bridge’s median extinguish, go up to it
and punch it three times, after that you will see another cinematic of a
Decapitator teleport in, in this case you know what to do… hurt him,
very, very badly!


END OF MISSION
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 2 – It’s on now! - Card# 2

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

Pretty much a no-brainer mission, here you’ll be facing about 10
invaders, first in a wave of three, and then another three, they’re weak
so if you got see a car throw it at them, if your feeling aggressive,
just beat-em-up, you will then see the Helicopter being shot down and it
will crash in to the bridge opening a passage, go down it to face the
last few invaders and after that you’re done! If you’re particularly
good, you can go in to Rage mode and possible beat this level in two
minutes flat.


END OF MISSION

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

Mission 3 – Catch this! - Card# 3

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

This is pretty much like the first two, except you need to figure out how
to get past the force field, to do this, go to the shield at the end of
the alley you see a Decapitator behind it, he will throw barrels and
mailboxes at you, all you need to do is tap the Grapple button as he
throws it, Thing will then catch the item, and if you wish throw it back
at your enemy, once you defeat him turn left you will see a Turlin
Engine, it’s a big green glowing ball, punch it until it starts to glow
brighter, make sure you run away a little when its about to blow up
because it may cause some damage if you get caught in it! After that the
shield will power down, go to where the Decapitator was, and break
through the wall of junk, then two Decapitators are waiting at the end of
the alley, step out of the end for a second run back in just to make them
toss what ever they have, then they will follow you in to the alley where
you can kill one at a time, once you kill them five invaders will
teleport in, if you got Rage you can use it and just ground pound them in
to oblivion, after that two more Decapitators will teleport in, deal with
them quickly before they can pick up a car, once you kill them the alley
opposite the one you started in will open up and you can break through
the junk pile, there you will meet two Decapitators carrying dumpsters,
if you can use the Mobility button to run up to one of them and do a
Super Grapple, this will most likely kill the first one while the second
misses you with his dumpster, defeat both of them, and then you will face
three more Invaders that teleport in, quickly dispense a sound beating,
and voila, victory!


END OF MISSION

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

Mission 4 – Bonus – Clobber em all! - Comic Fantastic Four# 1

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

Straight foreword mission kill thirteen enemies in two minutes, best bet
is to swat (punch) or toss cars at smaller enemies such as the Invaders
and, introducing, Ravagers, use ground pounds in a crowded area to deal
maximum damage to multiple enemies, just go crazy, be creative, it
shouldn’t be too hard for Thing to kill off thirteen enemies in two
minutes.


END OF MISSION

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

Mission 5 – Bonus – Broken Things - Comic Fantastic Four# 2

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

Similar to Mission 4, except that you only have Half of your health, you
will face four Decapitators, be extra careful they tend to throw cars at
you, make quick work of them first by doing either special grapples or
throwing back the cars they throw at you, then six Invaders will teleport
in, piece of cake, a couple of cars or even exploding barrels will take
care of them, lastly four Ravagers will teleport at roughly each corner
of the map close to the walls, make them in to paste quickly before they
shoot you full of holes, after that take a breather!


END OF MISSION

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

Mission 6 – Sacrifice – Last Stand - Card# 32 - Movie# 4

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

If you’ve selected Thing to be sacrificed, you will be facing him using
the prima-ballerina, Fault zone, she’s a lot faster than Thing, but not
as durable, use your speed and super combos to your advantage, basically
go in close with a three hit super combo to send him flying in to the
wall back up a little run around him to keep him confused, go in again
with another three hit combo and if your feeling lucky try and toss a car
on top of him when he’s on the ground, with that done, you should have no
problems dancing circles around the brute!


END OF MISSION

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

1003.2 – Wolverine

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

Mission 1 – Street fight - Card# 4

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

This is Wolverine’s first mission, fairly simple, just go out to the
street and beat up anyone standing in your way, don’t be stingy with
special combos, and if you can pull it off and get in to Rage mode it
makes easy things 100 times easier, once you killed off all enemies in
the street section, you’ll need to jump over a wall of fire on the other
side of the street, behind it you’ll find one two Decapitators and three
Invaders, once you beat them, another three Invaders will teleport in,
kill them and your done!


END OF MISSION

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

Mission 2 - House Party - Card# 5

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

If its your first time playing as Wolverine(including mission 1) this may
get you a little stressed, don’t worry I'll get you through it, first off
you start in the back room, run over to either side, I usually go left so
Ill do this part from my experience, as far left as you can so that your
touching the left wall in the hallway with the lasers, hold L to begin
running; make sure you are aiming at the upper left corner of the laser
field so Wolverine will wall-run through the small gap, there will be a
second set of lasers do like you did before, when you make it over the
lasers break down the door on the right side and you will enter the
dining-room and meet up with 12 invaders that will come in waves 3, you
shouldn't have too much trouble with them, if need be, throw the
furniture at them, after you kill the 9th Invader, a new unit will
appear: the Marauder, don’t worry these things are dumb as posts they
will only circle around you and shoot from time to time, just be sure to
move around a lot, and take these guys out first, do this by jumping,
quickly tapping X to grapple, and moving the joystick in a circular
motion this works fairly well due to all the air units circling you, once
you killed the first two more will show up, take them down the same way,
after that only 3 more Invaders to take out and after all that's done the
Feng-Shui will be balanced to what's left of the room!

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 3 - Femme Fatal - Card# 6

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

In this mission you face Wink in the Avengers computer room, lots of
stuff to throw around, but as soon as the fight starts Wink will teleport
towards you, begin to tap the A button as she gets closer, once you hit a
few times hold down R and tap the A button to deal more damage, if she
blocks a few times try and mix in a few grapples, when you get a chance,
or even if your skilled enough, try to do a Super-Mobile attack(hold R
and L while moving and attack enemy) this will cause Wolverine to do a
sliding upper-cut, thus sending Wink in to the air, quickly follow this
up with a jump and either keep holding R and tap X to grapple, or just
tap X to grapple her in mid air this will do extra damage that the
Upper-cut alone could not do. After Wink is down to 75% Health she'll
teleport to the upper left pillar and throw a barrel at you, best bet is
to stand at a distance where the nearest computer to the pillar is and
tap X to grab the barrel that she tosses at you then quickly toss it back
at her, but if you think your "the best at what you do", then pick up a
spare computer consol, and wait till she teleport on to the pillar make
sure to aim, if successful she will receive damage from the consol, then
drop the barrel and receive even more damage from the ensuing explosion!
When Wink makes a full trip to all four pillars, she will teleport to the
middle platform, here you need some skill, there are two ways of getting
up, one is very fast, the other is a little slower, to get up fast, hold
down L to run, just before the wall; jump you will wall-run straight up
about 3/4 of the way when you see Wolverine slowdown press down & hold R
this will make you cling to the wall then just climb straight up, then on
to the platform, release R to fall on to it and its best recommended to
do a special grapple (Hold R and tap X) or just a regular grapple, do not
punch her because she'll only get hit with one punch then teleport to the
ground, continue with the previous strategy until successful, if you find
you are low on health, climb up to the middle pillar and wait there for a
few minutes there you can recover about 20% of your health, don’t worry,
Wink will not follow you unless she begins her "pillar" cycle at which
point you can still wait there and do a grapple when she's typing on the
computer, follow this and victory is yours!

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 4 - Bonus - To Defy a Goddess - Comic Fantastic Four# 3
------------------------------------------------------------------

This mission is a little tough, you face off against Altered Storm, first
off, just do a straight run up to her, you can do one of two things here:
one hold down R and L to do a sliding upper-cut sending her in to the air
then air tackle her back down in to the pile of barrels behind her, or
run up to her, and hit her with a triple combo of regular punches and
then just before the third punch hold down R to do a triple super combo
totaling 6 hits, this should put her off balance, keep the fight close so
she cant hit you with lightening, if you get her on the ground toss a
barrel at her, if she tries to fly; clip her wings with an air tackle,
but mainly keep the pressure on her with a combo of regular punches,
super punches, and grapples, if she gets far away from you do your best
to keep right to her, and if you find your self low on health run behind
a car or crate and get back some health, then get close to her again and
continue to whittle her down, after a good hearty fight like that you
deserve a rest.

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 5 - Bonus - Claws of Fury - Comic Fantastic Four# 4

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

A nice relaxing mission, well, in Wolverine’s case, your out to bust some
skulls, pretty simple, a nice mix of Invaders, Decapitators, and a few
Marauders, nothing too taxing about this mission, no time limit, only
about 20 enemies total, so be creative, use barrels if you want of duke
it out, if you can kill enough enemies to get RAGE that'll just make
things go faster, just take down all enemies at your leisure and reap the
reward of a good brawl.

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 6 - Sacrifice - Casualties of War - Card# 33 - Movie# 6

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

You get to play as the Imperfects resident bruiser; Brigade! This match
is fairly easy to win, first off try and hit Wolverine with one missile,
when he falls on to his back run to a car or crate and toss it at
Wolverine, since Wolverine is a light weight he can not lift cars, so you
have the advantage, there is also an 18-wheeler on the right side of the
screen try to hit him with that, basically maintain a steady flow of car
and crate tosses, if you run out revert to using Projectiles, however be
careful Wolverine does no hesitate to super block and send those missiles
back to you! If you get RAGE don't be afraid to go "full-auto".

END OF MISSION

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

1003.3 - Electra

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

Mission 1 - Death From Afar - Card# 7

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

You start in an alley with a shield blocking it, go up to it you'll see a
Ravager shoot at you, now the game will say use Super block (hold R and
Y) when the Ravager fires, however its far easier to just throw her
daggers at him (hold R and tap A), kill him, and the one after him, you
will then see the street, some Invaders will try and come in to the
alley, let them but hit them with a volley of daggers to either kill or
weaken them, after run out to the street you'll face 8 Invaders, in waves
of 4, they shouldn’t be too hard, if you get RAGE throw daggers at them
and do super grapples when in close quarters, after that you'll see
another shield on the other side and another Ravager will pop up you can
either deflect his shots back at him or throw daggers, the shield will go
down, step in to the alley and your done!

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 2 - Top of the World - Card# 8

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

Nothing too fancy here either similar to Wolverine's House party just
take out the 6 Invaders on the first building wall run over to the second
building take out the last 4 Invaders, at which point 2 Marauders will
fly in, you can easily take them down with air grapples, RAGE wont really
help you in this fight, but if you get it use it for super melee attacks
and super grapples, after that your home-free!

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 3 - Daredevil - Card# 9
----------------------------------------------------------------

In this match try and hit Daredevil with a volley of daggers, once he's
down on the ground try and toss a barrel at him he'll most likely catch
it, but that's part of the strategy! If he catches the object quickly
throw a dagger at him to make him drop the object on his head! The
combination of a dagger and barrel hitting him will drastically reduce
his health! Continue to use this strategy, unless he begins to sling
around the arena at that point try to air tackle or dagger him, after
that you may claim victory!

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 4 - Bonus - Silent Death - Comic Fantastic Four# 5

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

This mission is left to you; the player, nothing really to do here other
than stomp on enemies, you already know how to deal with the basic goons
and air units, if your any good you should get this done in no time! The
only real info I can offer is to hit and run.

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 5 - Bonus - Assassin's Blades - Comic Fantastic Four# 6

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

This mission takes a little skill, but its fairly easy, all you need to
do is break all the screens in the computer room, first off run up to the
nearest computer, rip off one of the sides thus breaking the screen then
toss it at the next nearest screen, then grab another side off of a
screen, toss it an the next nearest screen, run foreword to the computer
on the shortest pillar break off one side and toss it at the screen on
the next highest pillar then grab the other side and toss it at the
opposite screen on the next highest pillar, from there you can wall run
to the next pillar destroy the screen then wall run to the next pillar
destroy that one, and that should be all you need to do, if your a pro it
is possible to beat this mission with well over 1 minute left and not get
hit by any enemies!

END OF MISSION

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

Mission 6 - Sacrifice - Deadlier than Males - Card# 34 - Movie# 2

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

Here you get to play as Wink, possibly the weakest Imperfect, against
Electra, they are evenly matched except Electra tends to use her daggers
a lot when at a distance, so keep Wink close to her and make sure that
you use a lot super attacks (hold R, tap A) and either super or regular
grapples, there aren't many small objects in this level but if you can
when Electra is on the grounds nail her with a barrel, additionally use a
super stomp to keep Electra's health low, it is a difficult fight but
Wink has the advantage to be partially invincible when performing a
mobility attack (tap L and tap A) she'll teleport thus avoiding Electra's
attacks briefly, and then re-appear in a spiraling dive, this should
knock Electra back hopefully in to some explosives, hopefully you can
keep the pressure on long enough to take her out!

END OF MISSION

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