X-MEN: Children of the Atom FAQ version 6.0
=======
INTRO
=======
X-MEN, Capcom's newest fighting game, boasts incredible graphics and brand
new playing features. As if you couldn't guess, the game based on
characters appearing in Marvel comics (though they are a little dated)
X-MEN is all of 300 megs, and is the eighth to use the Capcom CPS2 system.
This faq is based on version 3.00 of X-MEN.
Feel free to copy and distribute this faq, but don't sell it! My fellow
faq writers and I don't get any money for our work, and it really pisses
us off when freeloaders make a profit from it. This goes for game mags
as well. (Hi EGM, you rat bastards!) It's free info...keep it that way.
Send any comments, corrections, etc. to Rich Joseph at rfj105@psu.edu
Title by Galen Komatsu
========================
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
========================
BETWEEN AND AFTER BATTLES
During the pause between battles, you are able to move your character
back and forth. This allows you to position yourself *just* right.
X-Power collected during the previous battle remains for the next. Press
any attack button to speed up the delay. The winner can press start to
cancel the victory pose, allowing his or her character to move during the
delay. This allows you to take some "free hits" on your opponent, or to
set-up a pose for the final screen.
BLOCKING AND THE AUTOBLOCK
Blocking is as simple as pushing the joystick away from the attack. In
X-MEN, you can block on the ground or in the air. There is a feature
called "automatic blocking", which is selectable when you choose your
character. All attacks are blocked, even if you are moving forward, as
long as you don't touch a button. However, autoblocking only works for
the first match...an X will appear over the "AUTO" sign when it is turned
off. This feature will also permanently limit your moves. The most
common example are the beam attacks. Beams will only fire straight,
instead of having three different directions.
COMBOS
A combo is a series of moves that interupt the animation of the previous
ones, making it a smooth, continous move. There are basically three ways
to combo in X-MEN. The most ancient of methods is to interupt a standard
move with a special. An example of this would be (fierce,fierce DP).
Hitting multiple times in the air is the second way to combo. The third
method is somewhat new, called the "Magic Series" by Tom Cannon. A magic
series is sequence of buttons which interrupt each other. This method is
unlike the "weakest to strongest" system of DarkStalkers because each
character seems to have a specific set of buttons. The most common
MS is (strong,forward). Kicks and punches can be interchanged, but you
cannot go "backwards" with a MS (strongest to weakest). Three characters
can link *all* of their buttons into a magic series. These three are
Cyclops, Psylocke, and Gouki, who have what is termed the "six-hit magic
series" or SHMS. Once you get used to these three systems, try creating
your own combos by mixing them together. Remember, the best combo is the
one you create yourself!
DASHING
Tap forward twice to dash forward, and twice back to dash backward. An
alternative way is to press two punches and hold the joystick forward or
backward. Reverse the stick to stop. During a dash, slide by pushing
down and a button. Slides and dashes are a good way to start combos.
MISSILE ATTACKS
You can guide the path of most missiles with the joystick. No one should
complain about "unfair" missile traps in X-MEN. Two colliding missiles will
cancel each other. A well-timed kick or punch will also cancel a missile.
Super jumps will get you out of any corner. (Seems Capcom went a long way
to remove the fireball trap from this game)
STUNS AND KNOCKDOWNS
Besides normal stuns, your character can be stunned on the ground. You can
hit or throw a downed opponent. Shake the joystick to recover from a stun
quicker. If you are knocked down, hold the joystick forward or backward
and press a punch button. This will cause your character to quickly roll
forward or backward. The strength of the punch determines the distance.
SUPER JUMPS
Besides normal jumps, your character can leap twice as high. Rapidly flick
the joystick from down to up. An alternate way is to hold all three kick
buttons. The game will stay focused on the higher character, and a little
marker shows the position of the lower one. Most importantly, a super jump
will cancel any *normal* move.
THROWING
Simply press the joystick forward with a medium or fierce punch or kick
to throw. There are both air and ground throws...every character is able
to do both. When someone is trying to throw you, it can be "reversed" by
attempting to throw the thrower. Holding down and all three punch buttons
has two different effects on throws. If you are being thrown, this will
"shrug off" the throw. If you have already been thrown, the move allows
you to land without taking further damage. This feature uses some of the
energy in your power bar. (you must be at least 2nd level to use it)
X-POWER BAR
Underneath the life bar is an empty bar. This bar will fill with glowing
energy every time you do a special move, throw, or hit an opponent
(blocking or not). Every time you reach a new power level, energy will
glow around your legs, and the power level (1st, 2nd, etc.) will appear
over the life bar. When the power is blue in the pow bar (1st level),
only regular moves are allowed. When the meter becomes orange (2nd Level),
you can use some energy to perform special "X-Ability" moves. When the
energy bar is full, the colors flicker, and you can perform one of the
"Hyper-X" moves.
==============
KEY TO MOVES
==============
Jump Punches: Jab = a
Jump Back O O O Jump Forward Strong = b
\ | / Fierce = c
Back O- -O Forward
/ | \ Kicks : Short = x
Crouch Back O O O Crouch Forward Forward = y
Crouch R.house = z
TERMS: (C) - Use the joystick to guide this move. (Control)
(D) - Character now does more damage in some way.
(G/A) - Ground/Air. Some moves are ground-based, others
are aerial. Both letters mean the move can be
performed on the ground as well as in the air.
D. - Move goes in a diagonal direction (D.Up, D.Down)
X-Moves - Moves that are unique to this character and can
be done at any time during the match. These moves
help to charge your power meter.
X-Abil. - Special moves that draw on the power stored in
your power meter.
Hyper-X - When the power meter is full, your character can
drain it to perform this super move.
SPECIAL NOTE: These descriptions assume you are not using autoblock.
All special moves in autoblock mode are limited to the
medium version of that move (with a few exceptions).
