Produced by Marvel, and developed by Capcom. Released in April 22, 1993.
A game where you slaughter tons of foes and try to get out alive!

This guide will help you do just fine. Many enemies share the same
attacks, but some are unique. I will be listing all of them and give
strategies on how to beat them without losing much health. The bosses in
this game are included as well.

Here are more abilities you can use(submitted by Eduardo Peldoza):

a) Overhead Throw: Just walk to a fallen opponent and press the Attack
button.
Frank/Nick pick up the opponent (just like a destroyable item); you can throw
him/her away.

b) Grab and Flash Kick: Grab an opponent, then execute the Flash Kick before
he/she escapes.

c) Two versions of Grab and Smash: It seems that you can get 2 versions of
this attack. The common version is simply pressing Down + Attack during a
jump. The other version is less common, but you can recognize it because:

i) The damage is bigger.

ii) The animation is more dramatic, because Frank/Nick smash the floor
harder
and faster, and the screen quakes a little.

iii) The audio is also more dramatic, because Frank/Nick makes a battlecry.

Now, the problem is ... how to get it? I usually get it doing the normal
command of Grab and Smash when Frank/Nick reachs the apex of the jump, but
the timing is very tricky (think the Diagonal Flying Kick of "Cadillacs and
Dinosaurs").

d) Canceling combos: Standard combo can be canceled into throw technics, not
unlike all beat'em up from Capcom:

i) Punch combo, Shoulder Throw: Tap Attack and keep the joystick in Down,
the opponent always is sending forward. If you're smacking a bunch of of
opponents, the closest opponent will be grabbed.

ii) Punch combo, Overhead Throw: Tap Attack and keep the joystick in Up, the
opponent always is sending backward. If you're smacking a bunch of opponents,
the closest opponent will be grabbed.

In the same line, both Normal Combo (tap Attack with joystick in Neutral) and
Dashing Combo (tap Attack with joystick in Forward) can be canceled into the
Flash Kick, simply entering Down, Up before the animation of the combo ends.


e) A small advantage of Fury?: I'd playing a lot both Punisher and Nick Fury,
and I'd detected that the "slashing energy" animation of Fury's Flash Kick
has a little more range than Punisher's.

f) Hell Swing: This move will cost a small amount of your lifebar ONLY if you
hit someone else during the swing. If you're dealing with a single opponent
in the screen and you catch him/her with the HS, your lifebar will be intact.

Since Punisher and Nick Fury pretty much both have the same commands for
their Move List, there'd be no point in giving character strategies like
I did with my Alien vs. Predator Character Strategy Guide.

------------------------
3-A. The Low Level Punks
------------------------

These guys don't usually have much health to start out with, but still
you should be careful when fighting them. The following applies to the
"low-level" portion:

Max
Dylan
Chris
Dean
Shone
Jack
Jagger

Jack and Jagger both share the same abilities. They both have a pistol
to start out with. Also, they can only shoot one bullet at a time, so
that's pretty easy to dodge. Make sure you roll out of the way when
they're up close, or else they'll kick you, which becomes pretty
irritating after a while. Luckily, you have your handy pistol with you
so shoot them out of their misery.

The rest of the low-level punks don't deal as much damage, but the ones
that carry weapons usually do. On perfect example would be the one that
carries the Battle Axe, which does about 40% damage if it gets a hit on
you. You should roll kick one of them to knock him down, then pick him
up and throw him at the other enemies. Or you can smash him on top of
people.

------------------------
3-B. The Mid-Level Punks
------------------------

This group is even more irritating than the "low-level" group. They can
dish out quite more damage depending on the situation. The following
applies to the "mid-level" portion:


Cool
Trench
Red Lamp
WOW-Cat
Bakosu
Leon
Midori
Luna
Mizuki
B. Hannigan
Luis Allegre
Kolsky
Skinner
Bogart
Saxon
Hawke
Yan Lee

That's a lot of enemies, indeed.

Leon/Bakosu
-----------
The reason why I listed "Leon" and "Bakosu" as mid-level is because they
are EXTREMELY annoying. I totally find it kind of B.S. that they
occasionally manage to get a slash on my back. And not to mention
Bakosu, who roll-slash at you. One of them is fine, but two or more can
pose a REAL threat! One handy tip is to ALWAYS roll-kick them when you
get a chance. Roll down there and then grab one of them and keep
throwing him at other enemies. Or if you're surrounded, use the enemy-
spinning Escape Move to clear the crowd, giving you time to get away.
It's best to take care of these guys first before taking on the lower-
level enemies.

Red Lamp/WOW-Cat
----------------
Now we go to "Red Lamp", who is also extremely annoying. Keep in mind
that this guy can pick up ANY weapon. He can even pick up rings for some
reason(probably looking forward to get rich), and pistols to shoot them
at you. Like the strategy with Leon/Bakosu, roll-kick them when you get
a chance. If they are holding a weapon or item, they'll drop it once
they're knocked down. For "WOW-Cat", he doesn't show up until the later
stages. Be extremely careful, as this guy carries a Flame Thrower, which
HURTS! Get these guys out of the way before they burn you. Roll-kick
them only when they're close, because they might get a burn at you if
you're at a distance. The 4-hit Normal Attack Pattern seems to work well
for both Red Lamp and WOW-Cat.

Cool/Trench
-----------
These "cool" trench-coated Tommy Gun mafia members are sometimes
irritating as well. The good news, you have your gun with you. The bad
news is that these guys usually come in packs. Don't let them shoot
several bursts of their Tommy Gun at you. They usually start fire when
you're at a range. Shoot them first, and take them down as fast as
possible.

-OR- if you'd rather fight these guys, walk up to them diagonally. Only
walk straight at them when you have reasons to do so.

Midori/Luna/Mizuki
------------------
Now believe me when I tell you, people. These bitches are a death
threat. Their attacks do pretty good damage on you. Here are some
abilities they have you should look out for:

1. Teleport - Yes, these vixens can teleport left and right. If you see
one of them teleporting behind you, ROLL AWAY!! If you don't, they'll
grab you and pile drive you.

2. Run up and Kick - Which does a lot of damage. You'll see the obvious
soon enough when you face them.

The general rule when encountering one of these vixens is to never stay
at one place. A good start on them would be to roll kick. They'll be
knocked down. When they get up, do an ATKx3, Down-Up+Attack. And repeat
if others do not distract you.

Saxon/Hawke/(Yan Lee)
---------------------
Waiiiiii-Yah! Wai Yah! Yeah, if you hear this, you'll know it's one of
the three(Saxon/Hawke/Yan Lee). Yan Lee generally is the high death
threat of all the karate experts.

The first thing you should know about these karate experts is that they
can combo you for some pretty serious damage. Half the time, if you try
to roll-kick them, they'll evade that by just doing a jump flip in the
air. But there's a catch. They're vulnerable while in the air.

Like encountering Cool/Trench, you should walk up to them diagonally and
start a Normal Attack Pattern. If you are in their line of position,
they'll occasionally execute a Flying Kick. You can simply stop them by
either throwing a knife at them or mashing the Attack button as fast as
possible.

Fighting one of them can be pretty easy, but fighting multiple can be a
pain in the ass. Occasionally, while you're attacking other enemies,
they will come up and freely hit you without getting affected by your
punches. If you see them do this, roll-kick. You'll hit the ones in
front of you, leaving a karate expert either alone against you or get
caught in the kick.

If you prefer to use weapons against them, use a fast recovery weapon.
Such examples can include Bisen Osafune, Steel Pipe, Baseball Bat, and
Knife. Just to be more effective with the Knife, roll up to them and
start button mashing the attack for all six hits. If not, they'll
usually get affected during their jump sequence.

B. Hannigan/Luis Allegre/Kolsky/Skinner/Bogart
----------------------------------------------

These guys can be identified by men wearing business suits in various
colors(just so you can distinguish who is who). In some levels, these
guys will have guns, which means yours will become usable as well. At
other times, you'll have to fight them hand to hand. Unlike the karate
experts and Tommy gun-wielders, you can safely walk up to them and
attack in any direction.

ATK x3, Down-Up + Attack

Simple combo. Or you can grab them, knee twice, and slam them HARD.
These guys are very easy to handle. The ones with guns can pose a
threat. Most of the time, they'll miss their shot. One shot from them
does a LOT of damage(my guess is that they're probably carrying Desert
Eagles), even more than the ones Jack and Jagger uses.

-------------------------
3-C. The High-Level Punks
-------------------------

These guys have the most stamina, apart from bosses. Their attacks do a
decent amount of damage, but being combo-ed can mean your turning point.
The high-level enemies you'll be facing in the game are as follows:

Gus
Red
Misa
Scully #2
Pretty Boy
Pretty Legs

Gus/Red
-------

These guys are twins. Red is the red-colored one, and Gus is green. They
have all sorts of moves they can pull off on you. If you think that the
previous sentence sounds hard, then by no means feel free to drop a bomb
on one of these guys anytime(as long as you have x1 or more bombs), for
a great head start.

Killing the karate experts was tough work, but these guys aren't any
tougher. The damage you do to them is equivalent to what you can do on
Leon or Bakosu. Yes, they are THAT weak in defense.

If you had defeated the first boss Scully, you'll notice that these guys
are no different from him. Gus and Red are more like younger brothers of
Scully. They don't do much damage on you.

Roll-Jump kick is the most effective way to start a fight with these
guys. When they're knocked down, just roll up to them, pick him up, and
either throw or hard slam his ass. Roll-Kick isn't very effective to use
against these big guys.

Misa
----

Now the reason I didn't list her with the rest of the vixens is because
she is the most irritating. She even has a longer lifebar than the rest
of them. Luckily, she rarely shows in the game. But nonetheless, if you
followed the tactics of how to beat the vixens, then you shouldn't have
any problem facing this one. A bomb would be a good head start, but
saving them for bosses would be a better idea.

Scully #2
---------

This guy will only show up at the end of the hallway in Final Stage.
However, he is back with higher strength and speed. He's a bit stronger
on the defensive side than Gus/Red, but nonetheless he is a pain in the
neck if you're not careful.

One thing you SHOULD watch out for is his double-kick-jump, which chops
nearly 70% of your health. He'll only do this if you're close to him, so
staying away would be a good idea.

Since the area you're in has other enemies such as Bakosus and low-level
punks, it would be the best idea to drop a bomb at them(make sure to
include Scully in the explosion). The column near the elevator has a
grenade hidden inside. Also, there is food hidden inside the plant and
barrel.

Roll Jumpkicks also work well on Scully, as it will temporarily knock
him down, giving you time to either get away or pick him up. A warning
though, this Scully can get up A LOT faster than Gus and Red.

Pretty Boy/Pretty Legs
----------------------

Whenever you face these robots, you'll equip your gun. Save your bombs
when facing them(unless you're in a desperate moment). Blowing them to
the last piece will reward you with food.

Pretty Boys can give you anything from a Pudding to a Hot Dog.

Pretty Legs can give you anything from a Pudding to a Pizza.

So you see, Pretty Legs gives you the more common food.

One thing to note is to shoot ahead of them. A diagram to show exactly
what I mean:

______________________________________
|                                      |
|   YOU                    |   /\      |
|   /\|                    |   |       |

|   | |                    \/  |       |
|   | \/               PRETTY ROBOT    |
|______________________________________|

This diagram basically says never shoot while they're facing you in your
line of fire. When they are coming down, go up and keep shooting. When
they are coming up, go down and keep shooting. Basically, try to always
keep a diagonal line between you and the Pretty Robots.

These robots CAN be grabbed, but CANNOT be slammed. They have five
phases before they blow up.

Phase 1 - Perfect Form
Phase 2 - Headless
Phase 3 - Armor Chassis destroyed
Phase 4 - Half a Body
Phase 5 - Blowing up.

Keep in mind that when their head are separated from their body, you can
pick up those heads and throw them at any enemy. Be careful though, as
they have timers on them.

3-D. The Bosses
---------------


Scully - How's our Big Brother Doing?
-------------------------------------

The moment you get on the bus, you'll be greeted with Scully. He has one
full energy bar. If you are one of those fast-paced gamers and just want
to kill him for crying out loud, just drop all your bombs on him. You
should have x5 bombs(assuming you didn't use any of them in the previous
areas), which is enough to kill him. When you start the next round, your
counter will be reset to x3.

If you are the ones that prefer to save your bombs for something more
dangerous up ahead, then that's not much of a problem. Keeping Scully on
one side is very effective. When the round starts, give him a smack to
the right corner. Now you should be right in front of him(if not, GO up
to him FAST). Keep hitting attack while holding forward. He'll be
trapped! Now don't get excited. Big Brother needs Little Brothers to
support him in battle. However, the little ones wont come out until you
knocked off a certain amount of health from Scully.

- Always use Roll-Jump-Kicks on Scully.
- Almost never use Roll-Kicks unless Scully isn't around.
- Escape Moves are your best friend when they try to ambush you.

The corner trick still works if you use the Escape Move when little
brothers come up from behind. It'll affect Scully as well as the ones
behind you. Repeat.


Guardroid - Robotanic sent by Fat-so
------------------------------------

This robot is a piece of cake. First of all, it has NO backup. Second,
it's slow at moving most of the time. Third, you have a LOT of free
space to move around.

You still have to be careful, as it can use some pretty devastating
attacks at you. The easiest way to describe how to beat this boss is to
use hit-n-run techniques. Simply go up to it, hit 1-3 times, go away,
and repeat. When it's landing from a jump, use a Flash Kick on it.

This robot is THAT easy, yes. How to dodge attacks is pretty obvious,
and shouldn't be much of a problem. You don't even need bombs to
terminate it.

Bonebreaker - Hello, I'm Half Human, Half Tank, And All Machines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

From an expert's point of view, bombs aren't necessary for this boss.
However, I will give you tips on how to beat this boss almost
flawlessly.

On the defense side, roll away when it is about to rush at you, as it
does about 40% damage. Avoiding its flamer by walking out of the path.
And roll away when he does his missiles.

On the offense side...

First of all, you must know that this guy is a machine, like Guardroid.
It takes very less damage. But that isn't concerned, as I am about to
tell you a trick: Hit him in the back.

Yes, you do the most damage on the back. Use any hand weapon(except for
Knife) and keep whacking him in the back. One hit equals two. He'll take
double damage as long as you keep hitting him in the back. If you're
lucky to get a Bisen Osafune, you should see his life bar.

Even without weapons, you can use your Flash Kick behind him. Obviously,
it sounds easy, but what makes it hard is backup. From Cool/Trench to
Pretty Boy/Legs to Jack/Jaggers will be backing our lovely tank up. Use
a bomb, or Escape Move. Or just shoot them all to death by keeping them
on one side.


Bushwacker - Hey, check out my arm! I got a Missile Launcher!
-------------------------------------------------------------

This guy is a pain in the ass. If you got bombs, use it all on him. You
will not regret doing so.

He has backup, too... Well, irritating backup, such as Red Lamps and
Leons. The Red Lamps will be carrying bats, which is VERY effective
against Bushwacker, as long as you get him in a corner.

One thing to note is that this guy can block attacks, which is VERY
annoying when you're in for a rush kill. If you use the weapons Red
Lamp, Leon, and the other punks carry against him, there's less of a
chance that he'll block those. These guys don't drop their weapons
without a reason, you know.

However, the above enemies aren't as annoying as the vixens. THEY
trouble me the most when I fought with Bushwacker. If you see a pair of
them running around, focus on them and use Escape Move whenever
possible.

Guardroid II - A new Improved Robotanic
---------------------------------------

The first form was easy work, but this time it's new and improved with a
different color. It also has two henchmen backing it up with Uzis.

The trick here is go let the henchmen live for as long as possible while
you're shooting Guardroid, hacking away at its health. Unfortunately,
our two guys get in the way a LOT! On the other hand, many of
Guardroid's attacks can hurt them!

If, for some reason, the henchmen doesn't stay alive long enough, use
the Guardroid 1's tactics. Hit and Run. Only this time, be EXTRA
careful. Once you knock half of its health, a Pretty Boy will drop out
of nowhere from the air. Now you can use your gun again.. Yay! The
Pretty Boy will take a lot more hits to take down. The Pretty Boy is
your source of healing, only once, only if exterminated.

Kingpin - I was the one behind this, now you can kill me.
---------------------------------------------------------

This big-ass guy is very fat, and he has a small cane which can burn you
blue if you're not careful!

The one thing to know about Kingpin is that he is slow, but he can run
up to you at times and smack you if you don't roll away. He can also
jump up and lay his fat ass on you. Roll away!

There are a couple tricks on how to kill him.

Trick #1 - Throw his henchmen at him. He'll take little damage, but it's
better than nothing. If you kill the first henchmen or two, a gun guy
will come out. You can *try* to use the same tactic you did with
Guardroid II(keeping the gun guy alive while shooting at the big boss).

Tactic #2 - Risky - Use a Roll-Jump-Kick to knock Kingpin down. Go up to
him and pick up his fat ass. Throw him, or slam him. Repeat as long as
he is down. If he manages to get back up, roll-jump-kick at him again.
If you slam him on top of the business guys, you don't have to worry
about them annoying you.

Like Bushwacker, Kingpin can also block attacks. So you need to be
careful when doing the roll-jump-kicks. Eventually, you can figure out
his pattern. His cane with the blue laser CAN affect the henchmen, so
that's an advantage.

======================================================================
==                      ==  Tips and Tricks  ==                     ==
============================---------------===========================

1. How Dumb Can Enemies Get?
----------------------------

Sometimes when you drop a bomb, enemies usually doesn't look for the radius
of the explosion and walks right into it. Gosh, are they dumb?!


2. Red Lamp is a Greedy Punk
----------------------------

Red Lamp usually take weapons and use it against you, even pistols! However,
sometimes they take rings and when you kill them, they will drop them.


3. Round 6 Glitch
-----------------

At the beginning of the round, after you take care of the Tuxedo guys and
past the columns you can break, there will be a bunch of low level punks.
One of them has a knife, but you don't really get it until you kill him. My
guess it this is a programming glitch, as that punk might have been Bakosu
in the first place.


4. Reviving your Partner after a Round
--------------------------------------

This only works at a two-player game. Basically, if one of you die and the
boss has a little life left, you can kill the boss to prevent the death of
your partner. You have to be fast, as the dying animation must still be in
motion for it to work.


5. Double Team with Quadruple Damage on Guardroid
-------------------------------------------------

Only at a two-player game and must be fighting Guardroid. Both of you do
the flash kick with one person on one end and the other person on the other
end. If done correctly, Guardroid will lose a lot of health and will be
knocked down. When it gets up, repeat the strategy for a quick victory and
much easy score(only because you don't have to use your bombs). This also
works on Guardroid II as well.


6. Cheesy Tactic against Kingpin
--------------------------------

Kingpin is one fat guy. However, get him in the corner(might take a little
effort) and keep using your Escape Move on him as close as possible. He'll
take a lot of damage, and when you have no health left, use up your bombs
(Super Bomb style) for the extra damage. Yes, this will require you to
sacrifice all of your energy, but you will never believe how much you took
off of Kingpin. And the reason I told you to use all of your bombs is
because when you die, the bomb counter will always reset to 4.



7. Remember Your Pistol Has Infinite Ammo
-----------------------------------------
It's fair in a way. If enemies with guns have infinite ammo, why not give
you that ability? Remember, that each pistol you pick up gives you 800
points(which, in fact, is also 800 Rounds =P). Most enemies only need five
to six shots to take them out at most.
