Gigan |
| The
cyborg monster is, surprisingly, similar to Godzilla in
play style, except opting out the higher damage of the
King of the Monsters in favor of speed. Gigan doesn't
have many range attacks, but his laser beam, and its ability
to be charged for a long blast, has this area covered.
Gigan, along with Anguirus, is also one of the few monsters
in the game that has a good supply of easily linkable
combos. |
|
| Moves |
 |
Hammer Claw
(Y) |
| Gigan,
very quickly, flails his Hammer Claw in front of him in
an attempt to strike the opponent. The move is so fast
that it can be comboed easily simply by repeatedly pressing
Y. This move can also be done while ducking or jumping,
although it can only be performed once while in mid-air. |
 |
Hammer Strike
(X) |
| The
cyborg monster reaches forth to strike his opponent, head
on, with his hammer claw. |
 |
Sweep Strike
(Down, X) |
| While
kneeling, Gigan reaches out with his hammer claw to try
and slash the opponent. The move has a generous amount
of range to it, and will actually strike Gigan's enemy
twice if it hits close enough. |
 |
Cleave (While
jumping, X) |
| Gigan
winds back with his hammer claw before striking downward,
at a 45 degree angle, with the large blade. |
 |
Kick (While
jumping, hold Down, Y) |
| A
simple mid-air move, where the cyborg monster reaches
out with the foot closest to his opponent in an attempt
to kick him. Sadly, compared with Continual Kick, this
move has little going for it, although it's a little quicker
and does deal slightly more damage in a single strike. |
 |
Continual
Kick (While jumping, hold Down, X) |
| While
in the air, Gigan lashes out with the foot closest to
his opponent. If successful, X can be pressed again to
have Gigan do a head stomp onto his opponent, and then
X can be pressed a third time to strike his foe with his
tail before landing. |
 |
Leap (Hold
Forward/Hold Back, A) |
| Gigan
does a small leap across the screen, in which ever direction
was held. Like other leap moves, this is a rather cumbersome
means of advancing on a player, due to being vulnerable
while jumping, but Gigan's quick attacks make it easier
to recover then others. |
 |
Jump Cutter
(Forward, Down, Forward, Down, Y/X) |
| Gigan,
quickly, flies in the air in a circle, his buzzsaw rotating
in hopes of striking his opponent. If X is used then Gigan
will fly in a wider circle as compared with Y. |
 |
Laser Beam
(Down, Back, Y/X) |
| The
cyborg monster crouches as he releases a laser from his
forehead, the length of which depends on how long Y or
X is held before being released. If X is used then it
can be held for longer before firing. This move can also
be used while jumping. |
 |
Flamethrower
(Down, Forward, Y/X) |
| Gigan
opens his mouth to unleash a stream of fire in the direction
of his opponent, the duration of which depends on how
long Y or X is held. The attack can be aimed in a desired
direction by pressing Up or Down. There is a small delay
after using this move, the length of which depends on
how long the flames were released. |
 |
Recovery (Hold
A, Back, B) |
|
Recovery is very hard to pull off, while the net gain
is almost never worth the effort. To execute this move,
the player must hold A while Gigan's life meter is flashing
yellow. While holding A, the player must press Back and
B almost in unison with getting hit. If done successfully,
the game will freeze briefly and Gigan will collapse,
regardless of the strength of the hit, while the damage
of the attack will be prevented. If done twice in a row,
Gigan will be invincible for a short amount of time. |
 |
Uppercut (Down,
Forward, B) |
| The
cyborg monster uses his hammer claw to quickly punch his
held opponent skyward, sending them falling to the ground
in front of him. |
 |
Buzzsaw (Back,
Down, Forward, B) |
| With
his opponent held tight, Gigan's buzzsaw begins to spin
rapidly as the cyborg monster cuts his foe numerous times
on the sharp blades. |
 |
Mach Buzzsaw
(Up, Back, Down, Forward, B) |
| While
holding onto his foe, Gigan quickly attacks them with
his stomach located buzzsaw, slashing them in the chest
area. The move is nearly identical to his normal Buzzsaw
hold, except it's done quicker and deals more damage. |
 |
Hyper Genocide
(Forward, Down, Back, Forward, X) |
|
For his special, Gigan raises his hammer claw into the
air while flying across the ground in the direction of
the opponent. If he connects, the cyborg monster latches
onto his foe and unleash a long series of attacks, which
include numerous strikes with both his claw-tipped hands
and buzzsaw. |
