Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fighting game where players choose from various giant monsters, aligning with factions like Global Defense Force, Aliens, or Mutants, to battle for control of Earth amidst an alien invasion and widespread destruction. Players engage in monster-on-monster combat, utilizing unique abilities and strategies based on their chosen monster and faction objectives.
Story
The World at War
Our world is on the brink of annihilation; havoc and destruction of apocalyptic proportions reign over our lands. The battle lines are drawn!
Global Defense Force
Global Defense Force monsters will sympathize and ally with any monster who studiously avoids damaging human structures, or who makes a concerted effort to destroy Alien military forces. Conversely, they will engage and destroy monsters who indiscriminately attack human cities.
Aliens
Alien monsters are creatures from other galaxies that have aligned with the Vortaak—an evil alien race bent on conquering Earth. These Alien monsters do the Vortaaks' bidding. Their primary goal is to conquer Earth in the name of Vortaak by defeating any monster that gets in their way.
Alien forces are relying on collecting Power Surges to bring their invasion to victory. Any monster destroying Power Surge crystals will be attacked without mercy. Monsters who preserve and collect Power Surges or destroy human military vehicles may be treated as friendly to the Vortaak invasion force.

Mutants
All monsters are basically mutations, true. What identifies monsters from the mutant faction is a lust for power that comes before all other concerns. The mutants have been especially active since the appearance of the crystal anomalies—drawn out by their promise of power.
Mutants revel in destruction, and favor monsters who destroy buildings, defeat powerful foes, and reach Critical Mass.

MONSTERS
Anguirus™
Anguirus is a loyal Earth Defender. Although he is not the largest, strongest, or fastest of Earth's vanguard, he possesses a tenacity of spirit that makes him a fearsome opponent for any monster.
Anguirus can stun nearby opponents with his fearsome Sonic Roar, or use his powerful jaws to leave an impression. Anguirus' most unique attribute is his ultra-hard spiked carapace, which can parry any physical attack and inflict heavy edged damage in response.
Anguirus can tuck his head and limbs beneath his shell and roll forward - this offers him excellent resistance to attack and allows him to plow through terrain and opponents alike. When the earth is threatened, Godzilla will come to its defense - and Anguirus will be right beside him, until the end.
Baragon™
Baragon is an Earth guardian - with special affinity for the terrestrial crust we walk upon. Baragon's size makes him a tremendous leaper, with graceful aerial combat maneuvers and techniques.
When not in the air, Baragon constantly replenishes his energy so long as contact is maintained with the earth. Baragon emits streams of fire from his mouth, and can cause eruptions and earthquakes beneath his feet. When firmly planted with all four legs upon the ground, Baragon is almost impossible to push aside - despite his small stature.

How to Play
Brawl Mode
In Brawl Mode, you can select an unlocked monster and challenge your friends (or the computer) in an epic multiplayer battle. Brawls can contain a total of up to 4 players. All players select their monsters, an environment to battle in, and the battle begins!
Brawl Rules
Before selecting a monster, Player 1 may select the Rules button to change battle options. You can win brawls by Knockout, Points, Team Knockouts, or Team Points. Playing on a team combines the scores of Players 1 & 3 and Players 2 & 4.
Knockout matches may specify 0, 1, or 2 respawns per player. Point matches may specify Combat Points (earned by attacking and defeating other monsters), Destruction Points (earned by destroying buildings), or All Points which allows you to score using both types.
Finally, Player 1 may specify the number of rounds to play, and the length of each round. Select "Enter" to save your settings and return to the Monster Select screen.
Controlling the Monster
Although the general controls are the same for all monsters, not all monsters carry out their attacks in the same way.
Punch/High Attacks
•
X button = Punch
All monsters attack using melee attacks. Depending on what kind of monster you're playing, the beast will use either a punch attack or a high attack. Pressing the X button multiple times in quick succession executes a multi-hit combo with each hit dealing increasing damage.
Kick/Low Attacks
•
Button = Kick
Kick/Low attacks tend to deal significantly more damage than Punch/High attacks, but are slower to execute. Like punch and high attacks, kick and low attacks vary depending on the monster.
Like punch/high attack, this attack can be used multiple times to link together multi-hit combos. Be warned, however-more often than not, the range of the kick/low attack is much shorter than other assaults, so you'll need to be within much closer striking distance to connect with a kick.
Fierce Attacks
•
button = Fierce Attack
Fierce attacks are stronger than other melee attacks. Just as with other melee strikes, however, the type of fierce attack depends on the monster. Godzilla, for example, whips his tail at his enemy. Another monster's special ability might be a flying attack.
Regardless of the monster, the fierce attack is just as useful as the other melee attacks and can also be used to create multi-hit combos!
Throw
When you're near an opponent, press the L1 button to pick him up. Once you've hoisted the enemy high in the air, press the L1 button, the X button, the button, or the button to fling the monster to the ground.
Similarly, you can pick up small rocks and buildings to hurl at your opponent. Objects that can be thrown usually have a red, pulsating glow about them.
Block
•
button = Block
To block, simply press the button. Blocking an attack slightly reduces the damage you take, but greatly reduces the distance you are pushed backwards and your chance of getting knocked down.
Power Surges
Power Surges are temporary abilities that any monster can acquire. These show up only in Story Mode. These power surges can take several forms:
•
Fire Surge: Covers your monster in flames, and increases damage dealt with physical attacks significantly.
•
Electrical Surge: Monster becomes electrically charged and regains energy at a tremendous rate. Beam damage is also increased. As the effect wears off, the monster might emit a final electrical burst.
•
Speed Surge: Monster can run faster, attack faster, and jump higher.
•
Crystal Surge: Monster is encased in Crystal, providing minor protection and increasing ability to channel crystal energy.
•
Radiation Surge: Monster glows with an eerie light, increasing health and energy regeneration, while impairing regeneration of nearby monsters.
•
Shield Surge: Monster gains a metallic outer skin, significantly reducing physical damage types, but slowing movement.
•
Darkness Surge: Monster is surrounded by a large dark cloud, which absorbs and nullifies all ranged weapons.
Press the X button and the O button to activate Power Surges.
Critical Mass
The other effect that crystals can generate in monsters is Critical Mass. Critical Mass is a powered-up status that gives the monster more damage and endurance, but also reduces defense. When monsters reach Critical Mass, they glow red, indicating that they have absorbed more power than they can handle.
You can use Critical Mass as an opportunity to attack other monsters more ferociously, using the damage bonus as an asset, or treat Critical Mass as a more vulnerable state and avoid direct confrontation while the effects last. Critical Mass also tends to draw the wrath of the military, and makes it difficult to retain your monster allies.
Each of the four factions have their own attitudes towards the absorption, destruction, and use of Power Surges. Making decisions about how and when you allow your monster to use the power of the crystals has a major impact on how monsters from the different factions will react to you in Story Mode.
Health and Energy
Health
Just as you might expect, every combatant has a certain amount of health, represented by the Health Bar (see "The HUD (Heads-Up Display)" chapter). As the monster takes damage, the Health Bar slowly decreases.
Energy
Similarly, every monster requires energy to perform Special Abilities and fire beams or weapons. When a monster uses an attack that requires energy, the required amount of energy is immediately deducted from your monster. Energy replenishes naturally over time - but you
Enemies & Characters
Destoroyah™
Destoroyah is death incarnate, born from anaerobic environments, seeking the total annihilation of all life-forms. He uses ranged attacks like micro-oxygen clouds and explosive spheres, and a piercing Horn Katana for close combat.
Fire Rodan™
Fire Rodan is Earth's largest flier, virtually immune to heat and lava-based attacks, and the fastest Kaiju in the air. He defends Earth's atmosphere from airborne threats with savage claw, talon, and beak attacks.
Gigan™
Gigan is the Vanguard of the Alien Invaders, a cyborg infused with Vortaak technology to augment his combat abilities. He projects powerful Alien Energy from his single eye and can teleport short distances to confuse opponents.
Godzilla®
Godzilla is the most powerful of Earth's Defenders, slumbering until called upon to face fearsome threats, often aroused by human folly. He uses atomic fire from a distance and is a fearsome hand-to-hand combatant with a powerful tail and uncanny sixth sense.
Jet Jaguar™
Jet Jaguar is a human-sized robot who achieved sentience and can change his own size to dwarf monsters like Godzilla. He is a reserve member of the Global Defense Force, protecting humanity from monstrous threats.
King Ghidorah™
King Ghidorah is the most physically powerful monster in the universe, blending immense size, incredible strength, and near invulnerability. He generates intense electrical energy, unleashing it as a Triple Gravity Beam, and can withstand immense damage with his thick golden scales.
Kiryu™
Kiryu is an anti-monster cyborg created by the Global Defense Force, genetically identical to Godzilla but augmented with armor, enhanced reflexes, and limited flight. He is outfitted with homing rockets, an electrical cannon, and the Absolute Zero cannon to immobilize any monster.
Mechagodzilla™ 2
Mechagodzilla 2 was inspired by the Vortaak's Mechagodzilla, designed by the GDF as a heavily-armored combatant with ranged firepower and heavy melee attacks. Its armor composite resists bite and claw attacks and absorbs heat and radiation weapon attacks, making it a staple of the GDF's anti-monster force.
Mecha-King Ghidorah™
Mecha-King Ghidorah is the GDF's attempt to use Vortaak weapons to defend Earth, rebuilt with GDF technology after King Ghidorah's defeat. He is outfitted with a powerful energy shield and replenishable taser weapons, retaining most of his original form's combat techniques.
Megaguirus™
Megaguirus is the queen of an insect race, who attained her tremendous size and power by siphoning energy from Godzilla. She leeches power from opponents with her tail stinger and can absorb and redirect most monsters' weapon attacks.
Megalon™
Megalon is a guardian monster of the Seatopians, who has aligned with alien invaders to eliminate the human population. He is a well-rounded combatant with decent melee, grappling, and ranged capabilities, and his high-speed drill hands allow him to burrow or gore opponents.
MOGUERA™
MOGUERA was the GDF's first successful anti-monster robot, employing a wide variety of weapons and defensive systems linked by a powerful auto-targeting supercomputer. Although physically frail, MOGUERA is still used today for long-range support fire to more modern anti-monster robots.
Mothra™
Mothra is a guardian of the earth, defending it from pollution, corruption, and devastation, transforming from a larva to a flying adult. As an adult, she can fire stingers, create powerful gusts of wind, and clouds of scales to reflect energy attacks, using her superior mobility in combat.
Mothra™ Larva
Mothra, in larva form, transforms into Mothra's flying form as a special combo.
