- ~One Must Fall
-
- Hints & Cheats, contributed by Chris Mathias.
-
- Here are the moves and cheats for One Must Fall. I've left the
- "Destruction" moves blank, as I've yet to discover most of them.
- I've also included a brief summary of the characters' motives for
- entering the competition, and some tips on the various robots.

- performing the scrap move, pressing another combination of keys
- will result in a destruction move, which will destroy your
- opponent's robot.

-
-
-
- ~Advanced Menu
-
- Hold down 2, 0, 9 and 7 to make a new option appear in the
- Gameplay sub-menu
-
-
- ~Difficulty Settings
-
- When selecting difficulty, press + hold Right for 'Deadly' mode.
-
- After this, press + hold O, M and F for a few seconds, then
- press Right for 'Ultimate' Difficulty
-
-
- ~Sound Test
-
- Press and hold Alt, S and F on the main menu
-
-
- ~Colour Selection
-
- On the robot selection screen in 2 player mode, use keys 1-6 to
- change robot colours, and key F9 to restore original colours
-
-
- ~BIG Damage
-
- Hold down B, I, G and a number from 1-9 to multiply the debris
- flying from your opponent by that number
-
-
- ~REINing Scrap Metal
-
- Hold down R, E, I and N and the scrap metal will fall through
- the floor and fall from the top of the screen.
-
-
-
- ~One Must know the robots
-
- ~Jaguar
-
- Quite fast, poor moves. Try using the overhead throw whenever
- possible. The Jaguar leap is for experienced players only, as it
- can get you into serious trouble if your opponent blocks and
- counters you. Use with a fast character (e.g. Milano) for best
- results. The Jaguar's roundhouse kick is very fast, making it a
- good move to use in combos.
-
-
- ~Thorn
-
- Not the best robot. Limited moves and slow speed make it a very
- specialised choice. Only use this with a powerful character
- (e.g. Shirro or Raven). Its kicks have a very long range,
- therefore it can be useful for keeping the enemy at bay.
-
-
- ~Pyros
-
- Fast 'n' fiery, but its legs/skirt area is vulnerably. It's
- better at defence than attacking. Use your flames to keep an
- enemy away from you, then nail them with a Jet Swoop. Suitable
- for all characters.
-
-
- ~Shadow
-
- One of the best robots. Difficult to master, but well worth it.
- This is one of the few robots that can take on a Nova and win
- comfortably. The Shadow Grab can be very effective - grab your
- opponent, jump in close doing a flying kick just as you land,
- then repeated low punches finishing with a leg sweep as you move
- out of range should put any other robot on the ground and keep
- them there. Use Shadow Dives at a distance to confuse the hell
- out of the computer.
-
-
- ~Electra
-
- Good all round. Quite fast (in the right hands) but not that
- powerful. Good roundhouse kick, and its electric shards are good
- for persuading any enemies to keep their distance. Better with a
- fast character.
-
-
- ~Katana
-
- Contrary to the manual, this is one of the worst robots. No
- ranged attacks combined with average abilities make this a
- choice for masochists only. Its only saving grace is its Heel
- Stomp, where if you can get your opponent trapped in a corner
- you are free to go and tap-dance on their heads to your heart's
- content.
-
-
- ~Shredder
-
- Don't bother. Poor all-round. Easy moves to learn, but not
- enough power to play with the big boys. Fine against the Jaguar,
- Thorn etc., but show it a Nova and watch it run and hide in the
- corner.
-
-
- ~Flail
-
- This is more like it. Its chains pack more punch than Frank
- Bruno flavoured HP Sauce (remember those adverts?) and have a
- good range. Its spinning throw is pretty devastating, and its
- spinning chains are great if you get you opponent trapped in a
- corner. More than capable of taking on a Nova.
-
-
- ~Gargoyle
-
- Use this if you want to win. Although they've got a weak frame,
- catching the buggers so you can pound them ain't easy. Their
- diving claw is the most ridiculously useful move in the game.
- Just sweep them at the start of the match, then use this
- repeatedly as they get up. Instant win every time - or your
- money back.
-
-
- ~Chronos
-
- Although these sound great in theory, in practice they're about
- as useful as a bottled fart. Their teleport is worse than
- useless (you just get hammered when you materialise), their
- matter phasing is not much better, even if you get the distance
- right and don't sail over your intended target, he'll have
- plenty of time to block and beat several shades of bright blue
- crap out of you. The stasis activator is good against a
- beginner, but experienced players will block it and counter with
- a fast attack, resulting in Chronos-flavoured pate on the arena
- floor. Choose a Jaguar instead.
-
-
- ~Nova
-
- Ridiculously powerful. This robot is only available in
- tournament mode, but put it against a lesser robot and watch
- them run off crying. This robot downs a vindaloo and seven pints
- of extra strength, dead-hard, "Jesus, what is this stuff?"
- inducing booze, pounds its huge chest and shouts "Come on then,
- if you think you're hard enough!". Fully powered up, this robot
- goes beyond hard, into that realm usually reserved for building
- materials and volcanic rocks. In other words, this robot is
- BLOODY AMAZING. The best way to fight is to lay down a barrage
- of projectiles. Try throwing a grenade, then using your missile
- launcher, then an earthquake smash. They'll block the grenade,
- then jump into the missile trying to escape the smash. Most of
- its kicks result in 2-hit combos, and its throw consists of
- grabbing their opponent, lifting them off the ground, then
- force-feeding them a knuckle sandwich. Warning - Watch out for
- the Gargoyle's Diving Claw attack, as this can wear you down
- over time. Against a flail, keep your distance to avoid its
- spinning chains.

-
- ~Crystal
-
- After winning the competition, she accesses Kreissack's secret

- life.
-
-
- ~Steffan
-
- After taking command of Ganymede, he looks for more power,
- seeking to control WAR, then the world.

-
- Fascinated by the Nova robot he fought, Ibrahim seeks to rebuild
- what he fought against, although not by transplanting a human
- mind into a robotic body as Kressack hoped.
-
-
- ~Angel
-
- As a member of an alien race on Ganymede, she looks to gain
- control of WAR to prevent her culture being eradicated during
- the colonisation process.
-
-
- ~Cossette

- After being crippled many years ago, she looks to continue the
- Nova research, so she can again gain the use of her legs, even

-
-
- ~Raven
-
- Raven looks to replace Kreissack as president of WAR, his first
- decision is to slaughter those on the board of directors who
