Was rather surprised there wasn't any FAQ on this game so decided to make one. I've yet to even clear half of Ultra mode, thus the lack of information. Please email me on any information which you can provide. Credit will be given if your info is useful and used in this FAQ. My email is: psyke0808@yahoo.com.sg I need more information on the Ultra mode unlockables, as well as the Nebula Combos of the Kaiju in the game. Please contribute! ================================================================================ 2) Introduction ================================================================================ Ultraman Fighting Evolution Rebirth is the 4th in a series of games for the Playstation and the Playstation 2. The first game was released in Japan for the Playstation 1 in 1998. Ultraman Fighting Evolution 2 and 3 were subsequently released for the Playstation 2 later. The latest installment comes in a new overhaul and gets a new name as well. There are alot of improvements made in this game, most significantly the graphical enhancements as well as the new combat system. The number of characters may not be as many as UFE3, but this game still has many Ultra fans all over the world excited due to the new characters and the newly improved special move cutscenes which rock. Unfortunately, this game will never get a US release and is thus limited to a Japanese audience. However, this FAQ aims to provide the necessary information required for a non-Japanese speaking fan to fully enjoy the game and to unlock the true potential of the game, especially in the Ultra mode. As of this writing this FAQ is far from complete, and I would require the help of other gamers who know more of the game then I do. The reason I'm doing this FAQ is because of the lack of one over at GameFaqs. I do not play the game that extensively, and thus most of the information here is found on the official site as well as forums. I am merely compiling the information I get while surfing/playing. Hopefully, it will help the fans to enjoy the game better. If there are any mistakes found or anything that you would like to contribute, please drop me a email at: psyke0808@yahoo.com.sg. Alternatively you can visit www.ultramanlah.com. I visit the forums there regularly under the alias "Psyke". This is not the first time I've written a faq. I've done several more a few years back, but they were mostly combo guides or chracter guides. This is the first time I'm doing a faq for a full game, so please pardon me if the faq seems a little messy. If you are looking for informations on the Ultras, do pay a visit to my site as well: Ultra no Sekai (http://ultranosekai.50webs.com) I am also part of another bigger fan site known as Ultraman Lah! It's a fan club for the Singapore Ultrafan Community and has links to the latest episodes of Ultraman Nexus and Ultraman Max. There are also lots of information and sypnosis of weekly episodes, and as well as exlusive images/music/video in the forum. You can find other topics on Japanese Toku, as well as post queries on the Ultraman games there too. Check it out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game Details ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- System: Sony Playstation 2 Format: NTSC J Genre: Fighting Number of Players: 2 Language: Japanese Memory Card: 200kb Release Date: 27th October 2005 =============================================================================== 3) Basic information =============================================================================== Here are the information you need to work through the Japanese menus and as well as to control your character. I've translated the menus for both the tutorial mode as well as the options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moves & Commands ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Default Controls: Movement: Direction pad Step: Tap front or back once Run: Double tap forward Back flip: Double tap back Roll: Double tap diagonal down (forwards/backwards) Guard: Press back on direction pad Charge power: R1 Combo Attack: Square Just Attack: Triangle Charge Attack: Hold Circle Grab: X to hold opponent, then Triangle/Circle/Square Tackle: X while running, then follow up with Triangle/Circle/Square Jump Attack: Diagonal up + Triangle/Circle/Square Special: L1/L2/R2 (does not apply to all characters) Nebula Combo: Press button as it flashes on screen. Take note: every character has his own Nebula combo and it is stated in the move list section. Check out the tutorial section of this faq to know more about these moves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat System ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nebula Combos ------------- This is one of the new features of the series. Combos used to be limited to the routine Square X 3, but now at least there is some variety to your normal combos. It's nothing ingenious or clever, but it IS awesome to watch. Every character has his own method of starting his Nebula Combo. For some characters it's simply his Combo Attack botton, for others it may be a jump attack or a grab. For eg. Ultraman's Nebula Combo (hence forth NC for short) starts with a grab. Ultraman: Grab (X) + (O) -> (O)(O)(O) After Ultraman performs his Circle grab animation, a meter will above on the top below the power bar. Once the first button flashes, imeddiately hit the shown button and the combo will start. Different characters have different number of chains and combos, but all of them are done in the same manner. If the NC is completed successfully, the character will do a devastating move, and not only that, his attack and defence powers will be boosted for 15 sec. In addition, NCs cannot be broken, although the timing is tricky. Specials -------- Each character has a number of specials at his disposal. In order to use these specials, you would need to charge your special meter located on the top of the screen. There are 3 levels altogether, and the higher level you have, the more poweful special you can execute. The R1 button is used to charge your special meter. Once you have at least 1 bar full, you can use your level 1 special move. Level 1 specials are usually the easiest to pull off as the level 1 meter fills up very fast. The level 2 meter fills up slower and the level 3 bar fills up reaaaaally slow. The good thing about level 3 specials is that they are sure kill moves. Any character's level 3 special move will instantly kill the opponent. But this doesn't happen regularly as the level 3 meter takes an eternity to fill up. When the opponent's health bar is empty, the word "FINISH" will appear at the top of the screen, and you can then execute level 3 special moves even if you did not have your special meter charged up. You will find that the highlight of this game are the special moves. They look great and are really fun to watch. But I feel that they are a little too long and it looses its appeal especially after the CPU does it to you over and over again. It would be better if there is a way to shorten the animation after you've seen it once. Evading Specials ---------------- Similar to Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3, specials can either be blocked or evaded. When the opponent does his special, a similar set of buttons will apear together on the screen. There will be 2 buttons on screen. Wait until these 2 buttons flash on the screen, and then press any one of the buttons immediately. If successful, your character will then guard/evade the special and not receive any damage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menus & Modes of Play ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upon inserting the game to your PS2, the game loads up and checks whether you have a memory card inserted. If no, the game will ask you whether it is fine to carry on with the game. If yes, the game will automatically load your saved settings from the previous game. The following are the modes of play that you can choose from. - Ultra Mode - Battle Mode - Vs Mode - Tutorial - Practice Mode - Options Explaination of each mode is found below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultra Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this mode you cannot select your character. There are 13 missions in all, and for every mission your character as well as the CPU character is already pre-selected. There are also a number of requirements & rules for a few of the missions. Ranks are given after every mission, and you can unlock certain stuff if you reach "S" rank. More details will be given in the Ultra Mode section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Battle Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this mode you choose your character and fight with 6 CPU controlled characters. You can choose from any of the default characters or those which you have unlocked in the Ultra mode. You can also unlock addition items such as stages in this mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vs Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your standard 1 on 1 mode. Choose either another player or the CPU to be your opponent. Choose your chracters, stage, and fight it out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newbies to the game should definately try this out first. There are some changes to the combat system since the last game, and the tutorial does a good job here. Upon entering this mode, the tutorial menu pops up. Tutorial Menu ------------- - Movement - Attack/Throws - Special moves - Back to title Here's a brief rundown on each section of the tutorial. Movement -------- 1) Advance and retreat Can't get any simpler than this. Just move the direction forwards or backwards. Your most basic form of movement in the game. Just repeat 3 times to clear this section of the tutorial. 2) Running Double the direction button to get your character running. Run twice to clear. Mostly used with the X button to grab onto the opponent. 3) Jumping Jump either diagonally forward or backward 3 times to clear. All the characters can execute jumping attacks. Refer to the movelist for more info. 4) Forward/Backward step Tap the direction button forward/backward to execute a small step. 5) Back Somersault Double tap back to execute a back flip. Good for evading of physical attacks. Useful for creating space especially when you need to store your special bar. 6) Rolling Double tap diagonally forwards/backwards to execute a roll. Good for getting close to the enemy while evading physical attacks. Not as fast as running though, but useful in tight situations. 7) Side step Double tap up or down quickly to side step your way out of harm's way. Applies to physical attacks and some R2 specials but not the R1 specials. Useful to getting round to your opponent's back. Attacks/Throws -------------- 1) Combo Attack Press the Square button to execute a punch. Press forward + Square to execute a set of combos. Repeat this 6 times to clear the tutorial. You do not need to hit the kaiju. 2) Just Attack The Triangle button is the Just Attack. It's a more powerful variation of the attack button and similarly, you can use certain combinations of the direction button to create combos. You need to hit the enemy for to clear the stage. 3) Charge Attack Hold the Circle button and you'll see your character start charging up for an attack. You need to hold for about 2 seconds for the attack to connect. 4) Jump Attack Press diagonal up + any attack button at the same time. Take note that you do not press the attack after your jump. Instead, press the 2 buttons at the same time and your character will perform a jumping attack. Special Moves ------------- 1) Special moves Straigtforward. Just charge your special meter with R1, and then use either Square (Level 1), Triangle (Level 2), or Circle (Level 3). The higher the lever you have in your meter, the higher level of move you can do, and the more damage you will inflict. Level 3 special moves will kill instantly when connected. 2) Evading Special moves CPU will charge his Special meter and then execute his level 1 special on you. When he is about to fire at you, the Square button icon will appear below your special meter. Wait till it flashes, then press the Square button. If done correctly, Ultraman will side step the beam fired by Gommora. 3) Special Attack Simply press R2. Ultraman will fire off 3 beam attacks from his hand. 4) Nebula Combo Grab with X button. Press O to throw Gommora. Notice that 3 O button icons appear during the throw. DO NOT press anything untill the first icon flashes. There are timing to adhere for all 3 parts of the combo. Only press the button when it flashes. Tricky at first but gets much easier after practice. 5) Strength mode Press O when Gommora swings his tail at you. You will get into a test of strength with the opponent. The person who presses the O button the most number of times will win and pushes the other party away with a punch. This ends the tutorial mode! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Practice Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You pick a character, pick an opponent, choose a stage, and off you go. Here you can test all your moves, combos, as well as take a look at everybody's level 3 special moves.

So much so that even his level 3 special move makes the kaiju leave in peace and if the enemy is another fellow Ultra, shakes hands with him and leaves off in the setting sun. However, you can change to 2 other modes, Corona and Eclipse. In Lunar mode, Cosmos's attacks are extremely slow and limited. Change to Corona mode and you've got much better attacks.
