1. Version History
	
Ver. 1.OO (6/27/00)
First Release, and very first FAQ that I ever created.


2. Gameplay and Introduction 

This is made by NAPS and Infogrames...

This game is basically, beat 'em up that looks like a mix of Fighting 
force and Streets of Rage. You can link your combos and sweep all the enemies
with a super move. You can also make use of some items(which I will 
discuss as I go through the game) which incidentally is just lying around,
such as boxes, barrels, pipes and even cars.
 
To get the most out of the game you will need to play almost every 
mode, with most of the characters.  

There are different modes in the game but you will need to beat a certain mode first,
I will also discuss this as I go through he game.

Just a reminder, The world of Gekido isn't a nice one.  


3. The Controls

Here are a list of the controls(default) in the game.


	Button      			Menu				In-Game(e.g.battles, etc.)

1. Direction			Highlighting your selection             Character Movement

5. L1				N/A					Jump

6. L2				N/A					Crouch

7. R1				N/A					N/A

8. R2				N/A					Lock-on to the nearest

4. The Story

The story takes place in super modern Tokyo of the not too distant future. 

This the story of Angela who was kidnapped by a gang led by a horrible demon named Akujin.  
Travis, Michelle, Ushi and Tetsuo are sent to get her back.  
As the game progresses, they get Gorilla, and Kobuchi (Akujin's henchmens) to join the 
side of "good" and quest to eliminate Akujin.  When Akujin is destroyed, Tokyo is now free and
evryone can relax again...  

The story really has something to do, on how the plot is laid and which enemy and bosses the
player fights, and who they unlock when they complete the quest.  
As the story really isn't the focus of the game, it's not terribly disappointing.  
The real story here is....game-play, and lots of it. 


5. Wipeout and Rage Moves

The Wipeout Move

The Wipeout Meter is a small red bar that is in the character area on the top of the screen,
it slowly increases as the character connects his attack, but it increases rapidly if he/she is
being hit by the enemy. Once it full, you can press all of the four shoulder buttons 
(L1+L2+R1+R2) to perform the wipeout move. Each character has their own wipeout move.
Also, in the Urban Fighters mode, the wipeout move is always available, BUT, if you use it
without charging the bar to full, it will decrease your life bar. So, you should use it sparingly.

The Rage Move

The RAGE meter is a small blue bar that is also in the character area of the screen.  As the 
meter fills it will light up the three dark blue bars to right.(one at a time, as the rage meter
fills, and then starts over) 

The rage meter increases with the flow of time, also slowly increases by successfully squashing 
opponents, and even more quickly increases when player has been squashed by opponents.  
Once it is fully charged all three dark blue bars at the right will be lit and blinking.  
However you can use your "rage" at any level from one to three.  
To use the rage moves, press the circle button on the controller. 

1st RAGE Level: 

When the player uses it, the player's fist starts to glow for a short time, but it also lets you
perform more special move, and when you beat a boss with this, watch for the effects!!!   

2nd RAGE Level: 

This will cause the player to knock down the enemies close to him, 
and it will double each hit that is landed against an opponent. 
(i.e. If you land a 5 hit combo, you will actually land a 10 hit combo) 

3rd RAGE Level:  

The player becomes invincible(except weapons and special attacks) for a limited time, each 
combo landed will double the hits, and a special move, can be done, it is like a super wipeout.  
If you use this move though it will use up your rage time instantly.  This move will knock 
down everything on the screen, and cause enormous damage to any enemies

So, it is a good idea to use the super wipeout when there is only a small amount of time, is
left for your level three rage.



6. The Characters/ Move List

Here are a few of the characters playable in the game, I have listed this so that you won't
hard time recalling their combos once they are available. I will try to update this, for the
other characters moves.


6.1. Travis
 
Travis is a balanced character.  He's fast, and depends on punches 
and his moves are street brawl based. I recommend him for beginners.

6.2. Michelle 

Michelle who can fool you by the way she looks, 
Her fighting is military style kicking and punching.  Michelle has a move 
which allows her to completely jump over opponents. It's her one distinct 
advantage over the other characters.  Use it!!!!  She also reminds me of Cammy in
the Street Fighter II V cartoon.
