Combat And Gameplay [DJCOM5] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================== Key [DJKEY5A] ========================================================================== X - Means the X button on your controller T - Means the Triangle button on your controller C - Means the Circle button on your controller S - Means the Square button on your controller ========================================================================== Controls [DJCON5B] ========================================================================== X - Grab, Pick up a weapon from the floor T - Hit with your arms, combos, get a weapon from the crowd S - Kick with your legs, combos, get a weapon from the crowd C - Run, climb on something, walk over a KO person R1 - Block, R1 + Forward = countering R2 - Change target opponent ( only available when playing with more than one person) R3 - L1 - Super hit L1 + S or T = Super hit L2 - Change target opponent ( only available when playing with more than one person) L3 - ========================================================================== D-Pad [DJDPA5C] ========================================================================== Incase you dont know, D-Pad is the directional buttons on your controller. Something that looks like this. up -- \/ left|\ /|right |/ \| /\ -- down Up - | Down - \ Directional buttons Left - / Right -| ========================================================================== Attacking & Blocking [DJATT5D] ========================================================================== During fights you have to attack otherwise you won't win, but you also have to block, because someone might be stronger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attacking [DJATT5D1] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attacking all depends on what kind of style you choose. If you choose the style Streetfighting than you should concentrate more on hitting the person with your hands rather than legs. You should also be improving your stats in upper strength. Same goes with every other style Kickboxing - Legs - Lower Strength, Martial Arts - Use the walls - Speed, Wrestling - Use your surrondings - toughness and last Submission - Grab everyone you can - health. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocking [DJBLO5D2] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is implrtant to block in this game otherwise other players/comp will beat you up in no time. Blocking is also really cool because you can just counter all the moves your enemy makes. Just hold block and when the enemy just hits you press any attack button and you can counter their move. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Career Advice [DJCAR6] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to enjoy a long and successful career that will see you becoming NYC's biggest and baddest brawler, you should pay close attention to these handy hints and tips... ========================================================================== Train to Win [DJTRA6A] ========================================================================== At the end of every fight and tournament you will receive a bonus amount of development points that you can spend in the gym. These points can be used to train your fighter, buy new special moves and learn new styles. To begin with concentrate on improving your fighters stats then learn a new style to help you get the better of your opponents. The special moves are all very nice but these are just for show and won't help you get to the end of the game. ========================================================================== Easy Cash [DJEAS6B] ========================================================================== Every time you fight in story or battle mode you will earn cash depending on your performance in the ring. The more you mix up your fighting techniques the more cash you can earn to spend on your character in the shops. The cash can be used to buy new clothes, tatoos and jewelerry to impress the crowd. ========================================================================== Team Competitions [DJTEA6C] ========================================================================== Try to concentrate on one particular opponent without ignoring his colleague alltogehter. Look to hit the opponent you feel is weakest with your biggest moves resulting in his energy being lost more quickly and the potential for a knockout all the more likely. If one opponent is dangerously low on energy, try not to get distracted by the other fighters in the ring keep after the man you feel is weakest and ensure that he is battered at every opportunity. You can gain bonus points if you help your partner so watch the action and be ready to step in when he needs you. ========================================================================== Free For All [DJFRE6D] ========================================================================== These can be extremely easy if you are careful although sometimes you will be in for a real challenge. Your best bet is to stay well clear of all the fighting to begin with as the other fihters will often amuse themselves by punching each other. When an opponent attacks simply knock them to the ground and then back away again to keep your health high. As soon as one of the other fighters gets low on health try to use hard punches to knock them out from a distance but remain in a position where you will not get double teamed or maybe even triple teamed. If you step into the action to early all three fighters will pick on you and its almost impossible to block or escape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- VII. Fighting Tips [DJFIG7] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When it comes to all out action Def Jam is the place to be. However once you find your self squaring up to your opponent with the crowd all around you begging for blood there are one or two things you ought to know... ========================================================================== Best Moves [DJBES7A] ========================================================================== It is invetiable that as the game progresses you will find one or two moves that you can pull off best with each fighter. However if you pull off the same move over and over again you will lose points and cause less damage to your opponent. The best way round this is to perform one of your favourite bigger moves and then try a couple of other attacks before returning to the move you are good at. This will cause plenty of damage and keep your score points up. ========================================================================== Tough Opposition [DJTOU7B] ========================================================================== Whichever character you are playing as it makes sense to take note of what it is each individual opponent is good at. If for example you find that yoor opponent is persistently reversing your grappling moves then be sensible and concentrate on striking him from a distance. There is no sense in playing right into his hands now is there? ========================================================================== Hard or Soft [DJHAR7C] ========================================================================== Each fighter has two sets of moves those from hard grapples and those from soft grapples. Understanding the difference between the two is crucial. Moves that are possible following a soft grapple are simpler to pull off and harder to reverse. However they cause less damage to the opponent and are worth less points. Moves that are available following a hard grapple will cause more damage and are worth more points, but they also have a high risk being reversed. As a rule it's best to use soft grappling early on and once a decent lead has been established begin to introduce a few hard grapple moves. If your opponent is close to defeat it's best to play it safe and stick to soft grappling as the potential for a damaging reverse letting your opponent off the hook is greatly reduced. ========================================================================== Use the Crowd [DJUSE7D] ========================================================================== When fighting in the non sealed arenas the crowd is very close to the action and can help you defeat the opposition. Throw your opponent into their arms and they will hold onto them for you to hit hard or even bash them with an item they are holding. the crowd can be used to great effect and can even help when performing KOs. ========================================================================== Blazin' It [DJBLA7E] ========================================================================== Building up the momentum meter is the easiest way to win in DJFFNY. If you manage to execute a special move whilst blazing and your opponents health is flashing "danger" then a knockout is guaranteed. However its important making the most of your blazin spell, and sometimes this means patiance is required. Should you qualify to start blazing before your opponent is in trouble, try and get in a couple of big hits quickly (its worth gambling with a hard grapple in such situations). Then when they are hurt, go into blazing mode by waggling the right analog stick and give them a couple more hits to ensure that their health is low and unlikely to recover to a safe level before you have finished. Only then should you perform the finishing move. If you try to early and then their health is in danger than you should use your special style move. ex; kickboxers have a special kicking combo. ========================================================================== Surviving a Blaze [DJSUR7F] ========================================================================== Should your opponent enter a blazin period than you should be more careful and never let your opponent grab you otherwise you will lose lots of health. Another way, which i really dont like, is to just run away from your opponent and run around the ring. Only when he has finished should you get back to striking distance. ========================================================================== Use the Surroundings [DJUSE7G] ========================================================================== By far the best way to cause serious damage is to use the surroundings. Throw them against poles, metal fences and other solid items around the fighting area. While your opponent is stunned smash their head repeatedly against the obstacle for major damage. But beware that they will be trying to do the same to you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIII.
