Anguirus |
| Naturally
specializing in close quarters attacks, Anguirus is the
only character in the game to not feature a projectile
of any sorts. His speed, and reach, makes him excellent
for comboing a series of moves, though. Also, due to his
short stature, Anguirus' duck tends to be far more effective
at dodging incoming projectiles. |
|
| Moves |
 |
Claw Swipe
(Y) |
| A
simple claw swipe is Anguirus' primary attack. This move
can also be done while ducking, at a lower trajectory,
or while jumping straight up, with either Y or X (with
X dealing more damage, but being slower). |
 |
Backwards
Revolving Tail Strike (X) |
| In
probably the fanciest of the single button attacks, Anguirus
leaps backwards into the air while swinging his tail almost
180 degrees in front of him. Unfortunately, because he
is jumping backwards, the attack is hard to contact with
unless Anguirus is already very close to his opponent
or they are jumping at him. |
 |
Tail Club
(While ducking, X) |
| While
ducking, Anguirus will turn around and raises his tail
high into the air and then slam it into the ground, damaging
any foe that it might connect with. The move is very effective
for injuring opponents that have collapsed. |
 |
Pounce (Diagonal
Jump, Y/X) |
| While
jumping diagonally, the player can tap either Y or X to
have Anguirus lunge down to attack foes who might be below
him. Using X with this move, compared with Y, will cause
more damage. It should be noted that Anguirus cannot do
the move while jumping diagonally backwards with Y, although
X works fine. |
 |
Stampede (Hold
Forward, A) |
| A
very advantageous move, as Anguirus runs toward his opponent
on all four. Stampede works like a moving duck, as Anguirus
runs low enough to avoid most projectiles, and is excellent
for safely closing the distance with his ranged foes. |
 |
Avoid (Hold
Back, A) |
| Anguirus'
retreat move, Avoid will cause the carapaced monster to
quickly leap backwards. The move can be done in succession,
although doing it twice is often enough to get Anguirus
nearly to the other side of the screen. |
 |
Revolving
Tail Strike (Forward, Down, Back, Y/X) |
| Anguirus
stands on his forearms, and does a small somersault while
his tail swings in the air to strike any foe it might
come in contact with. This move, with some difficulty,
can also be performed while Anguirus is in mid-air. |
 |
Flail (While
jumping, Down, Y/X) |
| While
in mid-air, Anguirus turns as he flails his tail below
him to damage those who might be struck by it. The move
is surprisingly devastating, for how easy it is to perform,
and has a chance to strike the opponent twice depending
on their position. |
 |
Carapace Slam
(Hold Back, Forward, Y/X) |
| Anguirus'
most powerful regular move, the Carapace slam calls for
Anguirus to move in the backwards direction for roughly
3 second before moving forward and quickly hitting either
Y or X. If Anguirus uses X then he will deal more damage,
but will fly farther back from the opponent as well. Once
the move is used, it can be comboed to do successive slams
by simply holding forward while rapidly tapping either
Y or X. |
 |
Bite (Forward,
Down, B) |
| After
placing his opponent in a hold, Anguirus lunges forward
with his jaws and proceeds to bite the juggler of his
foe numerous times before they are released and fall backwards
to the ground. |
 |
Throw (Forward,
Up, Back, B) |
| After
grabbing his opponent, Anguirus places them on his spiky
carapace and then tosses his body back, sending his enemy
flying behind him. |
 |
Carapace Assault
(Forward, Down, Back, Forward, X) |
| For
his special move Anguirus leaps into the air and falls,
spinning, at a 45 degree angle, damaging anyone he happens
to hit. Upon landing, Anguirus uses his forearms to launch
himself backwards to damage his opponent on his spiky
carapace. |
 |
Aerial Carapace
Assault (Hold A and release mid-air) |
| An
easy special to pull off, Anguirus simply has to hold
A for 4 seconds and then release the button, while in
the air, to initiate the attack. The move is nearly identical
to his other special, where in he rams his body against
his opponent numerous times while spinning, but is more
effective as the player has more control over where on
the screen Anguirus will launch himself from and that
he will do the attack horizontally instead of at a 45
degree angle. |
