Mothra |
| The
Heisei incarnation of the Infant Island goddess, Mothra
is interesting for her ability to fly about the battlefield,
as opposed to simply walking like most of the other combatants.
She does have the fewest number of moves in the game though,
but this is counterbalanced by their diversity. Her attacks
are fairly simply to pull off, although doing them at
the right moment takes practice. |
|
| Moves |
 |
Wing Flap
(Y/X) |
| Mothra's
main attack, for this move the monster merely flaps her
wings in an attempt to strike the opponent. Overall, the
move has good range, both vertically and horizontally,
while it's very quick to perform as well. This is the
only move Mothra can perform while landed. |
 |
Hurricane
Winds (Tap Y/X) |
| Mothra
continually flaps her wings, causing them to create a
windstorm which will damage opponents in range. The move
can be performed as long as Y or X is repeatedly tapped. |
 |
Lunge (Hold
Forward/Hold Back, A) |
| Mothra
flaps her wings to move quickly, either backwards or forwards
depending on the direction pressed. |
 |
Quick Evade
(Forward, Down, Back, A) |
| Mothra,
very quickly, leaps from a standing position and flies,
at a 45 degree angle, away from her foe. This move can
only be done while Mothra is on the ground. |
 |
Nose Dive
(Down, Forward, Y/X) |
| The
goddess swoops down, at a 45 degree angle, and then spins,
several times, in an attempt to strike the opponent with
her mammoth wings. Mothra will travel a greater distance
during the attack if X is used instead of Y. |
 |
Antenna Beam
(Forward, Forward, Y/X) |
| Mothra
charges her beam before unleashing the blast from her
antenna. If X is used with the attack then the blast will
be longer, but it will also take longer to charge and
will travel across the screen faster then compared with
Y. |
 |
Reflective
Scales (Down, Back, Y/X) |
| The
goddess quickly flaps her wings to release a cloud of
her reflective scales. The cloud will hang in the air
and catch all the projectiles it touches, Mothra's or
her opponent's, and will trap the energy inside, damaging
her foe if they might come in contact. The move differs
depending on what button is used, with Y creating a cloud
near Mothra that lasts for 5 seconds, and X creating a
cloud farther away that lasts for 7 seconds. |
 |
Bite (Forward,
Down, B) |
| After
placing her opponent in a hold, Mothra will reach forth
with her mouth and proceed to bite the opponent numerous
times, drawing blood on every hit. |
 |
Energy Discharge
(Back, Down, Forward, B) |
| With
her enemy in her grasp, Mothra will proceed to release
energy through her body, shocking the opponent as she
holds them. |
 |
Aerial Slam
(Back, Down, Forward, Up, B) |
| In
one of the best looking throws, Mothra grabs onto her
foe and flies directly up, before turning around and then
slamming her enemy, head first, into the ground. |
 |
Seal Energy
(Hold X) |
| Seal
Energy is performed simply by holding X for 3 seconds
and then releasing, while flying. When performed, a seal
will appear on the ground as Mothra's wings will glow
and she beams down energy in the form of the insignia.
The higher up Mothra is, the longer the attack will last;
furthermore, it's best if done while over the opponent.
When successful, the move will injure the foe and quickly
fill their stun meter. |
 |
Mothra &
Battra Strike (Hold Down, Back, Forward, X) |
The
flashiest special in the game, this move is done while
holding Down for 3 seconds and then continuing to hold
down while doing the rest of the move. When successful,
Mothra will lunge forward to try and grab her opponent
(if she misses, the move fails). If successful, she casts
her scales against the enemy, while Battra flies in, and
both monsters bombard the target with their beams.
