This is the second Sonic fighting game after Sonic the Fighters, now available on GEMS Collection. I never got to play that one, though. I was ticked to find out that this wasn't out at Christmas and couldn't get it until January 10th. And boy was it worth the wait! Like all other Sonic games, this one is not easy and may take some time to get used to. Once you do, you'll find this game to be a real blast! Once you beat the game with everyone, you can beat each character's story again to read one of eight entries in Prof. Gerald's Journal. This guide is designed to list those entries if you're feeling too lazy to beat the sto- ries again. This is the final version of the FAQ unless I allow someone else to use this FAQ or if I have plans. So this is the last version. -Sec 3: Journal Entries -Entry #1 note: To get this one, beat Sonic's story again. "I have uncovered a most interesting secimen from the warehouse. I be- lieve it is some sort of puppet or robot made by ancient people. At first, I didn't think anything of it, but when I was experimanting on a 'Chaos Emerald'/ it began to move. This suggests the possibility that even the anciemt civiliza- tions could harness the power of the 'Chaos Emeralds'. When I was researching various papera related to the power of the 'Chaos Emeralds' and this robot, I discovered that there was a possibility that this robot was something incredible. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this robot may be the cause of the Fourth Great Civilization. I'm not sure I belive it just yet, though." -Entry #2 note: To get this one, beat Tails' story again. "I am no longer able to ingore the possibility that this robot did in fact destroy the Fourth Great Civilization. I have discovered a stone tablet that explains as much. According to the tablet, 'When the figure falls from the heavens, and the Stone of the Gods is joined, all that exists will become one again.' Though it is difficult to believe, this robot has been watching my movements, and mimicking all that I do. I was amazed by my scans of this being. Suprisongly, reams and reams of data scrolled and causes my most powerful computer to crash. More intriguing was that the data was all about melee combat and weapons of that age. Event- ually, if this being is ever restored to it's former state, it will put all that data to use, and recreate all the weaponry and combat abilities that it once had... And that's not all. If my guesses are correct, it will also have the ability to absorb modern weaponry as well. What have I done? I have un- covered a horrible weapon." -Entry #3 note: to get this one, beat Rouge's story again. "I now understand why this being was named 'Gizoid'. In the ancient tongue, it meant 'everything'. According to the stone tablet, if the Gizoid establishes a 'link' with someone, the Gizoid will swear loyalty to that per- son. Perhaps it still lacks 'Chaos Emerald' energy, but it has still been say- ing the word 'Link' to me in broken tones. It went on to explain, 'Show me your true strength and I shall obey. I am all things, and all shall belong to me.' So as it suggested, I brought before it my collection of model guns, and freed them all. Then, suddenly, it said, 'I shall follow your every command, and ne- ver leave your side.' And since then, it refuses to listen to anyone but me. While it still remains under my control, at least it won't be used for evil. However, if someone with evil intentions ever forms a 'Link' with the Gizoid... I don't even want to think about what will happen. I must research how one can can re-establish a 'Link' with the Gizoid." -Entry #4 note: to get this one, beat Knuckles' story again. "The upper echeion is going crazy. Perhaps they aim to freeze Project 'Shadow'. Soon the ultimate life form, 'Shadow' will becompleted... The appli- cation to my grandaughter is also innocent. I cannot justlet them stop my study at this point. Because I am the only on who can save my granddaughter's life." -Entry #5 note: to get this one, beat Amy's story again. "The higher ups are threatening to shut down this research facility. I had no choice but to hand them the Gizoid to buy more time for my research. I tried to be careful and commanded it to never absorb any dangerous technolo- gies. However, I have heard that other researchers have been makng the Gizoid absorb weapons. Apparently, the way to cause the Gizoid to form a new 'Link' is to show it power that surpasses any of it's former master. While this poses immense danger, I cannot risk losing Maria." -Entry #6 note: to get this one, beat Cream's story again. "My worst fears have come true. The Gizoid has absorbed enough weaponry and technology that it has started to go out of control. The resulting rampage resulted in the destruction of most of the 'Ark.' ...I have deciphered the rest of the stone tablet. It says, 'When the Gizoid had all that could, it became a god of wrath, and all was destroyed.' The researchers somehow managed to subdue the Gizoid and sealed it away. Luck- -ily, it only had one 'Chaos Emerald' installed. If it were to have all 7 Em- eralds installed, it might destroy the whole planet. The Gizoid is too much of a liability. I tried destroying it's core, but nothing I did worked. I under- stand too little of the technology that built him. My best hope is to try and reprogram it's AI into a free-willed, emotions-based AI..." -Entry #7 note: to get this one, beat Shadow's story again. "I have heard there was an accident at the research facility... ... ... Everything...Everything is gone. My own Maria's name was among the list of casualties. My beloved granddaughter...They tell me her parting words were 'Bring hope to humanity.' I have decided that the keyword to activate the Gizoid's free-willed emotions-based AI program will be those very words. 'Bring hope to all human- ity.' My poor, poor Maria..." -Entry #8 note: to get this one, beat Emerl's story again. "A heritage of the past I dug out, 'Gizoid'...And the ultimate life form I created with my oen hands, Shadow... I have equipped both with a 'heart.' If all powers are not what is to be obtained for oneself, but what is to be born from hearts that yearn for someone, I believe all conflicts should cease to exist. Please...If there is anyone listening to my prayers... bring hope to humanity." -Sec. 4: Frequently Asked Questions Q: Do you get anything special for unlocking the journal entries? A: Nope. Sorry. Q: How do you complete Emerl's story? A: Go to Holy Summit(Knux's place) and enter the Death Egg at the top- left of the screen. It should be known since most Sonic games end in space. -Sec. 5: Closing Sonic Battle took me 7 days to complete and 6 days to get all 8 Journal Entries. When I got Knuckles's entry, there was no warning that it even WAS an entry and that fored me into a tedious bizz because I had to reset the game 2 times after being tricked into thinking there was no entry. And to think Knux was the most gullible one.-_-; Anyway, I had to rush through the whole stories in order to do this because I have a schedule. I did still take the time to write down each and every journal entry. Plus I have bad handwriting. This FAQ is © 2004-2009 by me, Numbuh 128bit.
