DEF JAM VENDETTA -I know squat about ASCII formatting- The combo FAQ - Version 1.03 by Lee T. HaXXXor Contact hisneigeness@hotmail.com [0] - TABLE OF CONTENTS - Keepin' it simple and to the point - ************************************** [0] Table of Contents [1] Version History [2] Combo FAQ [3] Stuff to do! [4] Controls [5] Combos [6] Wanted! [7] Credits [8] Copyright notice [1] - VERSION HISTORY! -So how well am I doing here?- ****************************** Tuesday, April 15 2003 Version 0.49: This is my first FAQ ever submitted to gameFAQS, so please pardon the mistakes in style from this particular guide. The goal of the FAQ is to eventually catalogue all combos inside of Def Jam Vendetta and maybe later on, catalogue the effects of the BLAZIN' mode on the characters. I call this version 0.49 because I believe the original goal of this FAQ to be almost half done. That is, I found the combos for each non-rapper, non-hero character, except for one for Chukkles. Stay tuned for updates! Monday, April 28 2003 Version 1.0: Started dating these version updates! This is the Combo FAQ Version 1.0, because EACH and EVERY Character Specific combo from Def Jam Vendetta have been listed. Totally. If any readers would come across any mistake in this combo FAQ, please submit them to my e-mail address (posted at the bottom of the FAQ) for verification. Is this the final version of this FAQ? It could be, because I decided to drop the whole "find out what moves change into what and rate the BLAZIN's of each character" aspect of the FAQ. You didn't really need to know all that, now did ya? Tuesday, May 7 2003 Version 1.03: Small mini update to correct three combos. N.O.R.E.'s GRIMEYVILLE BLITZ COMBO and his GRIMEY FIGHTIN' COMBO were incorrect. D- Mob's MONEY AND POWER combo also needed a slight change (it's a bounce from ropes running strike, not a simple running strike). Needless to say, the Playstation U.S. magazine from which I took those combos from did not fully do their homework... and I didn't fully double check my works. That's it! [2] - COMBO FAQ - The what and why of combos - ****************************** What are combos? -Combos are a string of regular moves that, when done in the correct sequence, offers a momentum bonus in addition to more points. By employing combos, you can build up your Blazin' meter faster then usual. Why won't my combo work? -The fact that you did the first step of the combo does not guarantee that you can do the following step. For instance, say your combo involves a soft grapple into a ground strike. Suppose you execute your soft grapple on a fresh opponent: there is no guarantee that your opponent will stay down long enough for you to execute the second step of the combo. That is why these combos could best be described as a string of moves that give a momentum boost, rather then a true combo. Do the moves change while they are part of a combo? -No. These combos are a string of regular moves executed in a sequence. The moves executed during the combo are not different from the same moves when executed normally. Do moves executed as a combo give a damage bonus? -No. They only give a momentum bonus and extra points. What is the difference between character specific combos and universal combos: The universal combos can be employed by EVERYONE. Every character of the game has these same combos. Character specific combos are combos specific to your character and your character only. One type of combo is not more rewarding then the other. What's all this talk about Level 2 and Level 3 combos? -Here's where my knowledge falters. Level 2 and level 3 combos are ONLY for the Hero characters: Briggs, Proof, Spider and Tank. I am partially sure that you obtain these combo by upping the stats of your characters. I am CERTAIN that you obtain the level 2 combos by investing in one $250000 point in the stat category. The level 3 combos elude me. [3] - STUFF TO DO! -Until this FAQ is complete... and BEYOND!- ******************************************** - Add the combos for all the hero characters and the rapper characters. Since these combos have all appeared in the gameFAQS Def Jam Vendetta message board and in a previous FAQ, I was in no rush in publishing those character specific combos. UPDATE: Done-roonie! - Publishing the universal combos. These have practically become common knowledge, but I'll need to print them later on. UPDATE: Slacked off there, but there are other FAQs that offer those. Maybe I'll print them if I get a few mistakes that I have to end up correcting. - Moves that end up changed once the character enters BLAZIN' mode. Since the goal of all of these combos is to reach your BLAZIN' mode faster, it behooves me to explain why it is important to reach this mode. I am currently studying the BLAZIN' mode's influence on top rope splashes and hardest strikes. UPDATE: Nahhhhh... You don't really need those now, do you? - In fact, I need to transform this FAQ from a combo FAQ to a Combo/Blazin' mode FAQ altogether. UPDATE: Yeah, what I said above. - Maybe even analyse all the BLAZIN' moves for each character, and rate them on deadliness and all around coolness. USING A STAR RATING! I AM GENIUS! UPDATE: I'm not. -Maybe make this guide more printer friendly. I'll work on it. UPDATE: This would be worth looking into. If this FAQ gets updated in the future, I might add this as a feature. For now, you get this. [4] - CONTROLS - So what the hell is that guy saying? - **************************************** Okay, I practically use my own language here, so here are translations for my more obtuse symbols. For any details or additional precisions, just e-mail me at hisneigeness@hotmail.com Sq: Square button X: X button Ground Strike: Press Square over a downed opponent. For running ground strikes, run using the circle button, then press square over your opponent. This also applies if opponent is sitting or on all fours. Head/leg submission: Press X towards a downed opponent's legs or head, depending on case. This also applies if opponent is sitting or on all fours. Dir.: Means pressing a direction on the directional pad as you press the butoon. Any direction will do. Close/Far strike: Strikes executed up close or far away depending on the case. These strikes are all weak strikes, executed by a button tap; seeing how such distinction is not needed for hard and hardest strikes. Top rope strike/splash: If it says top rope strike, you need to strike a standing opponent with a top rope move (press O near turnbuckle while pointing in turnbuckles direction). If it says top rope splash, you need to hit a downed opponent with a top rope move. Running strikes, bounce from ropes running strikes: Your running moves change whether or not you bounced off the rope before executing your strike. Pay attention that you hit your opponent with the correct running strike. This does not apply to running ground strikes. Inside springboard attack: Some characters have springboard attacks (leaping off the ropes) when they run towards the ropes and press X near them. Experiment with your character to see if he has inside springboard attacks. Rising Attack: When you are knocked down, hold the R1 button as you are about to stand. Your character will get up in a defensive crouch. Pressing the square button from that stance executes a rising attack. Such attacks sometimes initiates combos... Hard: Move that needs a button HELD. Soft: Move that needs the button TAPPED. UPDATE Rope Grapples: You can maneuver your opponent if you have him in a grapple. If your back is facing the ropes when you are grappling your opponent, and if you press the directional button towards the ropes and press X, you will execute a rope grapple. Suicidas/Running suicidas: Suicidas are performed by attacking your opponent who is outside of the ring from inside the ring. There are standing suicidas (while your opponent is outside, stand near the ropes and press the directional button towards the ropes, then press X) and there are running suicidas (while your opponent is outside and you are inside, run towards the ropes while holding X).
