I've seen it in a dream!" We'll try to keep the hope alive in this action/true-story game. This game is somewhat based on the movie based on the life of the pass Action Star and Master Martial Artist Bruce Lee. The gameplay is just like any regular 2-D fighters with each character having their own moves. But, there's only on player you can play as! Bruce Lee! Well, on with the game... _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/B A S I C S - C O N T R O L_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ([ In-Game Controls ]) L - Switch to Regular Style R - Switch to Fighter Style A - Hard Kick B - Soft Kick X - Hard Punch Y - Jab Punch P - Any Punch K - Any Kick ([ Moves ]) >>>>>>>>>>>>> |Regular Style| <<<<<<<<<<<<< This Style is the first one you will start out with in the begining of a fight.

In this style Bruce "magically" brings out Nunchucks from his side and starts doing a warm-up while standing or moving around. To select this style, just press both "L' and "R" at the same time. {On Ground} Bring Forward - X Bring Back - Y Swing Around - B Quick Snap - A {Bruce knocked down} Break - B Flying Kangaroo Kick - A ====================== Nunchaku's Combination ====================== Since the only moves you can do with the nunchaku is on the ground standing, you can make various combinations with two or more buttons. Try these: A to B to A to B (Repeat) Y to X to Y to X (Repeat) Y to B to Y to B (Repeat) X to A to X to A (Repeat) Y to A to Y to A (Repeat) X to B to X to B (Repeat) Now Try these longer string combos: Y to B to A to Y to A (Repeat) X to A to X to Y to A (Repeat) Y to X to A to B (Repeat) Y to X to B to X (Repeat) Y to X to B to X (Repeat) B to A to X to Y (Repeat) Y to X to A to B (Repeat) You can make over 24 different combinations with the nunchakus!

This is the first level you begin with. Not to hard, but challenging. Fighter: Sailor (Name mentioned in the movie) Weapon: Chain Moves: Rising Uppercut, Roll, Quick Punch, and Chain Choke Strategy: Basically try to avoid close contact with this guy. Start with a double kick when he approaches you in the beginning. Then try tapping away his energy by giving slide kicks, short punches, and Kangaroo Kicks when you're two players away. He'll start to use his chain once half his energy is gone. So that's when you need to keep your distance. Keep doing Kangaroo kicks until he's cornered or try jumping forward and doing a fly kick the instant he starts jumping. Bruce'll (you'll) advance in no time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 2 (Kitchen, Alley outside Kitchen) "Hi. My name is April..." This is the second level of the game. Here is where you'll really depend on your moves. Fighter: Purple Chef Weapon: Chef's Big Butcher Knifes Moves: Double Edge, Butcher's Slap, and Spin Kick Strategy: The first chef is pretty easy to tame. You'll need to trick him into jumping since he doesn't have any jumping attacks. Give a few Kangaroo Kicks here and there to see if it will connect, but remember if you to far/close/slow that the chef will jump away from your move. Once you pummel the chef's energy in half, in desperation he will leave the kitchen... And enter the Alleyway outside of it. Here is the second half of your fight. (Note: Check out the background. Now look at the Dumpster, there's something inside!) Fighter: Purple Chef Brown Chef Strategy: It's a 2 on 1 battle and you're in the center of it. You need to be careful and patient as crazy here. First when you enter the stage, you'll only fight the Purple Chef. Then after about 15-30 seconds the Brown chef will appear to help assist his "Twin Brother." Mainly attack the Purple Chef since his energy is already cu in half. If you get trapped close between the two chef's, quickly attempt to press Hark kick to do one of Bruce's special moves the Split Kick or what I like to call, the "Splits." One thing to do if you're facing both chefs from afar is to jump towards them and hit any attack button. 2/5 chances (depending on what the end chef is doing) you'll hit one of them. Also when your up close to them, try doing a Kangaroo Kick. If one chef jumps away from you, attack the closer chef. If both chefs jump away, flip towards them. If you're able to survive this very intense battle, then you're on your way to part 3 of the game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Bonus Round: Training Post I don't know what the real name of this is, but it's what most fighters (or Jackie Chan >;P) use to get accurate and powerful hits. In this bonus level it seems to have to align the posts or sticks to where they are. To do this hi the padding that's adjacent and connected to it. For each accurate Hit/Attack you'll get points. TRY YOUR BEST! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 3 (The Seattle Gym) "Get off that machine. I'll show you a real workout." This is one of the cooler levels in the game. Here you fight a Kickboxer (name mentioned in the movie also), who later becomes Bruce's friend and ally. That is you beat him first... Fighter: Kickboxer Weapons: None Moves: Double Air Kicks, Kick Boxer, Double Fake, Kick Stunner Strategy: BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK!! If this guy ever comes near you and attacks, remember to block ahead of time. If not, you should be the one kicking. No Kangaroo Kicks are necessary to beat this Groove Champion. Try to corner him first with Hard Kicks, then start adding variety in your moves. But, less punching is better. Press short kick rapidly to slowly tap all of his energy. If he escapes the corner, corner him on the other side with punches and kicks. Once he has half of his energy gone he'll do his special "Double Air Kicks" when he see your open right after you attack. Again patience is key to victory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 4 (Oakland, California; 1964) (The George Wu Gym) "His name is Johnny Sun. Be careful man. This guy's killer." This level isn't really a gym, but it seems more like a Chinese temple. In the background you can see some old men (probably commentators, judges, bidders, whatever...) who are speaking of the battle. Fighter: Johnny Sun Weapons: None Moves: Elbow Chain Combo, High Hopping Kick, and Thrust Punch At first this guy seems tough, but he's practically the easiest to beat! He has only 3 strategies he uses himself. (1). If you don't move, he'll take 3 steps and then start a chain combo (2). If cornered, he'll take a step and do a hopping kick (3). He'll panic and try to mix steps one and two while you have an open chance. So whenever you see Johnny boy start with the elbow in his chain combo, do a double kick to connect twice. Also back up whenever needed. Since he does the same thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The Following two chapters (Chapters 5 & 6) have been kindly written by "Ziggy Marley" (jes_mond@hotmail.com) and are in his own words... no editing here :) ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 5 (Film Set) "Unlike your stunt actors we won't throw our punches..." This level has no relevance to the film. Two Amazon type women show up and rant about how fake your moves are. Then the fight starts. Fighter: Woman in Red Woman in Purple Weapons: Staff Moves: Staff Uppercut, Staff Jab, Sliding Foot Sweep and Pole-Vault Kick. Strategy: Begin by using a flying kick or Guillotine to get First Hit, then if you have enough in your spirit bar switch to Nunchaku Mode. Use A and B to floor her and do the same to her friend when she shows up. This level is a sort of balancing act as you are going to have to floor one enemy then run to the other one and floor her. If both of them get up at the same time then go to the closest one and use Towards + X for a quick knock down then go for the other one. If your spirit bar falls below Nunchaku (or if you didn't have enough to begin with) use 'Aggressive' mode and keep using flying kicks and strong kicks until Nunchaku is available. Then switch to the above strategy. Oh yeah, if you get knocked down ALWAYS use the jumping Kangaroo Kicks to get off the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 6 (Bruce's Kwoon) "I'm here to show them how weak you really are!" Ok the Kickboxer is back and he's mad about you stealing his students (Completely different from the plot of the film may I point out). Fighter: Kickboxer Weapons: None Moves: Double Air Kicks, Kick Boxer, Double Fake, Kick Stunner, Choke Hold Strategy: Same strategy as in Chapter 3. He's fun to fight against but I find him a bit too easy so I always fight him on 'Normal' mode to make it a bit more of a challenge. You can tear him to pieces easily on 'Aggressive' or Nunchaku. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 7 ("The Big Boss" Film Set) (Not yet reached) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 8 ("Enter The Dragon" Film Set) (Not yet reached) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ Chapter 9 ("Facing the Demon") (Not yet reached) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ ################################################################################ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/T I P S & T R I C K S_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ In the movie, "Bruce" is given 60 seconds to defeat the guy. It actually took 3 and some odd minutes for the scene to end, but in the game, you do only have 60 seconds to fight or else you lose a "life." As for nunchaku, this is the only weapon that can harm the "demon." Without it, you're toast. Therefore, if you lose all your "life," then there is no point to fight the demon who appears to kill you, because he will do so anyways. - Calvin Yeong (In Nunchaku Mode) If you tap X then Y then X then Y consecutively your spirit level will rise slowly. you can do this by holding foreward and tapping X or Y as well. - "Ziggy Marley" _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/C O D E S_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ***Special Note*** Is There a possible code to play as any of the fighters seen throughout the whole game? It's boring just playing as Bruce Lee. ****************** Level Select: At the options screen go to "Music Test" and then press the buttons B, A, R quickly. (Note: This code is ERY hard to perform, so keep trying ten times. If it doesn't work after try #10, give up until the next time you hit power) _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ T H A N K Y O U 'S _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Here is everyone who deserves mentioning in the first Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story FAQ/Walkthrough: - Bruce Lee: For bringing and creating one of the most amazing styles of Kung-Fu/Karate and being one of the most influential men -- persons on this Earth.
