The Playstation edition includes five new characters, four mini games, and an RPG mode. The Playstation version of Ehrgeiz was released on the 17th of December. This movelist is a translation of the Character movelists at www.drf.co.jp with some amendments. Story translation from www.namco.com. I have put up the movelists of all the characters. Squaresoft, Dream Factory and Ehrgeiz are registered trademarks of their respective companies. All rights reserved. This movelist covers: Clair Andrews Cloud Strife Dasher Inoba Django Godhand Han Daehan Jo Koji Masuda Lee Shuwen Prince Naseem Sasuke Sephiroth Tifa Lockheart Vincent Valentine Yoko Yuffie Kisaragi Zax [17 out of 17 characters (MAX)] ============================================================================ Hidden character release criteria: -Vincent Valentine: win the game with Tifa -Yuffie Kisaragi: win the game with Cloud -Koji Masuda: win the game with any male character -Clair Andrews: win the game with any female character -Zax (the guy called 'Zack' in FF7): win the game with all the FF7 characters -Django: win the game with every single non-secret character ============================================================================ ----------------- About Arcade Mode ----------------- When you play the arcade mode, you have to fight a total of 9 characters normally, and if you are fast enough, you get to fight "Guardian" Cloud and "Summoner" Tifa in addition. There is no way to fight with the other guest characters. After you complete the game with any character, you get an ending. The only characters without endings are: Clair Andrews Cloud Strife Django Koji Masuda Tifa Lockheart Vincent Valentine Yuffie Kisaragi Zax Upon getting the ending, you can view it under the movie player option, using the D-pad left or right to toggle between ending titles. ---------------- Saving Game Data ---------------- When you release a character or movie sequence, you must save your game under the memory card option. When you turn on the Playstation again, you must remember to load the game, because there is no auto save or auto load. Here's what they memory card options are: Load Save Back When you select load, they will show 2 options, asking you if you are sure: Yes No (highlighted as default) When you select save, they will ask you if you are sure or if you want to overwrite a previous save game, showing you the same options above. Once the little text box seems to have stopped changing and its words end with a fullstop, then it has finished saving and just press any button to return. ----------------------- Character Select Screen ----------------------- At the character select screen, you can do a number of things. Pressing L1 or R1 will allow you to switch between different control settings in this order: Arcade Custom Playstation Joystick 1 Joystick 2 Here, you will be able to check you control settings and set your custom control settings by pressing the Select button. In the custom control settings screen, you can hold on any button and use the D- pad up and down to select what controls you want to set (nice sounds when you press up or down). These are the settings you can assign to a button: High Attack Low Attack Special Attack Guard ______________ Not in use Middle Attack Jump * The first 4 options are compulsory You can hold on either the D-pad up or down as you confirm your character to select his 2nd or 3rd outfit respectively. ----------------- Character Outfits ----------------- When you are selecting your character, you can pick his/her/its alternate outfit by holding on the D-pad up, as you press any button. You can also select a character's secret third outfit after you have satisfied certain conditions by holding on the D-pad down as you confirm your character. These are the condition that I know of so far: + Cloud Strife - Win the game with Yuffie Kisaragi + Dasher Inoba - Get 35000 points or higher in Beach Battle (See: my Minigames Faq) + Godhand - Beat CPU in Evil Panel + Han Daehan - Kill Red Scorpion and get EHRGEIZ + Jo - Win the game at normal difficulty or higher without using any continues + Lee Shuwen - Do a 10 hit or higher combo in practice mode Tip: Just use Godhand's Maha Punch as it can do 10 hits. Use Shuwen's Down, Up attack on Django until 10 hits. + Prince Naseem - Get 2000 points and higher in Infinity Battle Tip: Set Game difficulty to very easy. + Sasuke- Do a 10 hit or higher combo in practice mode Tip: Just use Godhand's Maha Punch as it can do 10 hits. Use Shuwen's Down, Up attack on Django until 10 hits. + Tifa Lockheart- Win the game with Vincent Valentine + Yoko- Beat the CPU in Battle Runner Satisfying a specific condition will bring about a fixed release of a certain character's third outfit. This may not be true in the case of Shuwen or Sasuke. 2nd Outfit Descriptions ----------------------- Clair Andrews Blue vest and green shorts Cloud Strife Red coloured Soldier uniform Dasher Inoba Business suit Django Red body (Redder than arcade version) Godhand Army singlet worn Han Daehan Blue Takwando uniform Jo Blue Jeans Koji Masuda Brown Outfit (like Indiana Jones) Lee Shuwen White Chinese costume Prince Naseem Black vest and pants (some street punk) Sasuke Black/Golden Ninja costume Sephiroth Without shirt (Final Showdown with Cloud) Tifa Lockheart Red clothes Vincent Valentine Blue Turk outfit Yoko Japanese school uniform Yuffie Kisaragi Red Outfit Zax Red coloured Soldier uniform 3rd Outfit Descriptions ----------------------- Cloud Strife FF7 Shinra uniform Dasher Inoba Sumo Wrestler costume Godhand Punk outfit with red hair Han Daehan Casual Wear: Singlet and jeans as in his ending Jo Jail uniform (like SFA3 Cody), grey wolf form Lee Shuwen ? Prince Naseem A different pair of boxer pants (shorts rather) Sasuke A cool black ninja outfit showing Sasuke's hair Tifa Lockheart The clothes Tifa wore when she took the picture in Nibelheim (includes hat too!!!) Yoko Red ICPO outfit (Ehrgeiz demo second outfit) ------------- Practice Mode ------------- This is the mode in which you cannot die. In this mode, you can easily train your skills. The computer's difficulty level is incredible, because it can counter you attacks, do the most powerful attacks and break nearly all of the throws you dish out. I would like to explain what some terms in the player and enemy setting do. Guard- Guards against all attacks 1 Hit Guard- Guards attacks after being hit once Defensive- Defends once in a while Counter- Rolls and gets up when knocked down, Attacks when you attack You can restart the battle by pressing L2 and R2 together -------------------- The Story of Ehrgeiz -------------------- 50 years ago, a sword containing an unknown material was found in the ruins of an ancient German castle. The blade of the sword was broken and a mysterious stone was set in its handle. The weapon took on the name "EHRGEIZ" and became the symbol for a tournament, which would decide the world's strongest fighter. The sword was presented to the champion. Meanwhile, a secret excavation of a Middle Eastern desert ruin was ordered by a secret organization called 'Red Scorpion'. It was rumoured that the ruins contained the secret of immortality. As a front, Red Scorpion claimed to be an international organization established to protect international archaeological treasures and ruins. In reality, they are a weapons manufacturer collaborating to develop bio-weapons. They hope to rediscover and use technology founded by hyper-ancient cultures. After months of excavating, Red Scorpion located the ancient ruins. They located a door to the ruin but it could not be opened. A special key was needed... Does the key still exist? If so, where is it? The strongest theory points to a mysterious stone set in the EHRGEIZ. On the same day the door was discovered, the mysterious stone in EHRGEIZ radiated an eerie luster and brilliance. Legend says those who come in contact with the stone will be overwhelmed with a burning desire to answer a mysterious calling. Koji Masuda, the defending and consecutive three-time champion is the current holder of EHRGEIZ. Like a magnet, the sword navigates Koji to the Middle East and eventually the ancient ruin. The Red Guardians are not at all pleased by this intrusion into their secret finding. Disregarding the call of the sword, he has no choice but to flee the Middle East. If caught, he would surely be executed. Koji now realizes the dangers of the tournament and the sword. EHRGEIZ is far more than a mere symbol of fighting excellence. Understanding the sword brings danger to his life, Koji reluctantly decides to withdraw from the tournament and relinquish his right to the sword. In a letter to his daughter, Yoko, Koji asks her to succeed his will and use her martial art skills to regain the sword. But news of the mysterious stone has travelled afar and now many more have the curiosity to seek it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the order of events: + Stage 1 - The Dome V.S. Dasher Inoba This is where the tournament starts and ends. Defeating Inoba grants you to possess the EHRGEIZ. + Stage 2 - On the Roof V.S. Jo After getting the EHRGEIZ, you decide to head straight for the hyper-ancient ruins. Thus, you make your way to the roof of a building, to board the airship, but you are stopped by Jo, the wolf girl. + Stage 3 - On the Airship V.S. Godhand Having defeated Jo, you take the ladder up to the airship, before you get to enter the airship, Godhand appears and challenges you. + Stage 4 - Streets of Hongkong V.S. Lee Shuwen With Godhand out of the way, you successfully board the airship and fly to Hongkong. Here, you end up in a fight against Chinese martial artist Lee Shuwen. + Stage 5 - On the Train V.S. Yoko After a tough match against Lee Shuwen, you decide to head to Germany by train. During the train ride, you find that Yoko from the ICPO has been informed of your arrival and you are forced to have a match with her on the train. + Stage 6 - In the Coliseum V.S. Prince Naseem Upon arriving at the destination, Naseem appears to challenge the winner of the EHRGEIZ tournament. You have to defeat him to proceed. + Stage 7 - Digup V.S. Han Daehan After jumping down the entrance to the basement, you find that you are ambushed by Han Daehan. You are then forced into another fierce fight. + Stage 8 - Shelter You proceed on and reach an area with high security. Here, the powerful Ninja Sasuke attempts to take your life. You begin another duel again. + Bonus Stage 1 - Elevator V.S. Cloud Strife You defeat Sasuke easily the doors to the elevator open. You proceed, and a a mysterious "Guardian" appears and challenges you. You pit your skills against him + Bonus Stage 2 - Underground V.S. Tifa Lockheart The elevator stops after you defeat the guardian and you appear in another basement area. Another strange opponent, the "Summoner", appears. Stage 9 - Computer Lab V.S. Django You make you way to the secret lab where you find a strange beast guarding the place. It attacks you instinctively and you fight back. Stage 10 - Unknown Area V.S. Red Scorpion When you defeat the beast, the place starts exploding and you are soon shrouded in darkness. The next thing you know is that you are in a strange dark room with a ferocious monster, which looks several times more powerful than you. You find that you cannot injure it, and realize that you have to use the 2 swords in the boxes. Quickly, as a time limit unspoken of is closing in on you, you manage to free the swords and deal the beast a final blow. The beast explodes in to many goodies and you collect them. Then, the broken EHRGEIZ in your possession which you then realize had mysteriously disappeared falls from the sky. But the sword is no longr broken and is complete. With the complete EHRGEIZ, you thus continue with your quest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ --------------------- Arcade to Playstation --------------------- Ehrgeiz was released by Squaresoft in 1997 in the arcades with the help of Namco. Namco helped distribute the game and provided the hardware while Squaresoft had Dreamfactory work on the software. By the end of 1998, Ehrgeiz is finally available on the Playstation. But there has to be changes. With the exception of the addition of the mini games and the Quest mode, there is a difference in the arcade mode. Firstly, the graphics look different. It is hard to say whether the 3D characters look better or not, but it is evident that the characters and surroundings have a lighter tone. In the arcade, the characters seem to have a darker and smoother complexion where the characters on the Playstation have more beige skin. Many different details have been made more obvious, like the flashing white of a character before he is about to be thrown. The next difference is in the 'explosions' or impact when a character is hit. I remember clearly that in the arcade, there will be a nice big sphere of energy with 'electricity' upon impact, and I do not think the Playstation version has the 'electricity'. I also saw that when Cloud did Omnislash in the arcade, there were yellow sparks flying when he hit the opponent. The next thing is about the winning poses and the zoom in and zoom out. The winning poses are short and abrupt, and the poses have all been shortened by a significant length of time. The camera does not zoom as far in and as far out as in the arcade version. Another thing easily noticed is the replay that you see when you knockout the opponent or vice versa. It gives the game a different feel. Also, they do not show you the sequences between fight, like the map of the area and such, unlike in the arcade. If you look at the backgrounds, they have become disappointing. In the arcade, they were 3-dimensional, now they are but 2D, motionless picture strips. You may think that it is perhaps the fault of the Playstation's lack of power, but strangely enough, if you play the Ehrgeiz demo included with the FFVIII demo which was packaged with the Japanese version of Brave Fencer Musashi, you will notice that the men in the first stage background are totally 3D and moving, just like the arcade's! Why has this reduction in graphics been brought about? Another significant difference is that the endings are different. It seems that there are differences in the Playstation endings and arcade endings. The only so called improvement, is the addition of characters, character outfits, and sound. Voices have been added to the fighting of all the characters. Although moves remained unchanged, voices have been added. One important addition is the newly arranged music that you can select in the option setting. There are also secret outfits for the characters originally included in the arcade. One other minor change is the time given to you when you are choosing characters. In the arcade you have 20 seconds. On the Playstation, you have 60 seconds. This is about all the changes from the arcade to the Playstation. Nevertheless, Ehrgeiz still works and plays great. ============================================================================ -------- Controls -------- Playstation Controls for Arcade (default) control setting Basic ----- D-pad = Run Square/Triangle = Weak High Attack X = Weak Low Attack Circle = Special Attack L1/L2 = Jump R1/R2 = Guard Key: Up = Weak High Attack Down = Weak Low Attack Special = Special Attack While standing up = while getting up from crouched position J = Just Frame Basic Attack Combination ------------------------ Guard + Up = Strong High Attack Guard + Down = Strong Low Attack Up + Down = Middle Attack Guard + Up + Down = Grab / Throw Grab / Throw, D-pad = Swing / push opponent D-pad + Gab / Throw = Takedown (press button rapidly when on ground to pummel opponent) Movement -------- Guard + Special / Tab D-pad twice = Jump Hold Guard = Crouch Hold Guard + D-pad = Walk Hold Guard, Tab D-pad = Step Hold Guard, Tab D-pad twice = Roll Hold D-pad, Tab and release Guard quickly = Fade-away Dodge Wall Techniques --------------- Press against wall, Up Press against wall, Down Press against wall, Up + Down Counters -------- + Break Throws / Break Grab When you are grabbed, you will either be thrown or hit. When you are about to be thrown you, you will flash white. At this time when you are flashing white, press the Guard button to break the fall. The hard thing is that by the time you see yourself flash white, you have no time to react. So, you got to use your eyes and look and estimate when to press the Guard button. It is impossible to do so if you do not understand the throw well. When you are hit, try and press the Guard button just before the next hit hits you. + Sword Catch You cannot block sword attacks with your hands. Thus you got to catch the sword by pressing the Guard button the split second before contact. Just like for the throws, you got to look and estimate. Practice makes perfect. + Interrupt You can perform a counter on the enemy and disrupt his combos by pressing the Special Attack button at the moment before contact. This comsumes some of your Special Guage. + Projectile Dodge You cannot block projectiles and thus have to dodge them by performing the fade- away dodge. This evasion can evade weapons from boxes, fireballs, meteors, and such, but not normal attacks. + Break Falls When you are knocked off your feet, you will sustain even more damage upon impact with the floor. Thus, you can press the Guard button before hitting the ground to land safely, thus avoiding further injuries and not being slowed down or pinned on the floor. ----------------- Boxes and Weapons ----------------- There are boxes in Ehrgeiz that you can turn on in the option screen. To break the boxes, you can either perform a low attack and knock the box into the opponent, of perform a grab on the box, which will result in you pushing the box towards the opponent. There are basically 3 different groups of items you can find in the boxes. - Bonus Points Items: Apple, Cake, Spinach, Gold Coin, Star, and Han Daehan's Leg (affects Han's ending). - Offensive Weapons Items: Sword, Knife, Dynamite, Hand Axe, Grand Axe, Ehrgeiz - Power-ups Items: White Medicine - Refills Special Guage Green Medicine - Refills endurance? Meat - Attack up 1.5 times Capsule - Attack up Noodles - Defence up 1.5 times Green Medicine - Defence up All items can be found in an normal box except for Han Daehan's Leg, Sword and Ehrgeiz. ---------------- Just Frame Moves ---------------- Just Frame moves, as the name suggests, are moves that require you to press the button at the exact moment or exact frame. This moment is usaully immediately after the move reaches its fullest, as in the full extension of the leg or the moment before the retraction of the arm. It requires a great amount of practice to master the move. If performed successfully, the attack will have a trail of blue sparks as well as the desired attack. ============================================================================ ========= Movelists ========= Key: Up = Weak High Attack Down = Weak Low Attack Special = Special Attack While standing up = while getting up from crouched position J = Just Frame ------------- Clair Andrews ------------- Age: 20 Nationality: English Sex: Female Occupation: Student Of Archaeology Weapon/Special Attack: Hit Sword Story: She is Masuda's assistant and studies ancient exploration. Since the age of 12, Clair has been a world-class champion at both golf and net ball. Later, she became the student of a martial arts expert.

Her knife attacks are quick and long ranged, making her quite a powerful fighter. ______________________________________________________________________ Combos Lead Jab Up Three Of The Kind Up, Up, Up Force ????

Inoba serves as a member of the EHRGEIZ tournament commission. A short time after Schneider passed away, Inoba found a note within Schneider's teaching articles. It concluded there was a relationship between the EHRGEIZ stone and the hyper-ancient ruin. Inoba agrees with this finding as he too had this premonition when seeing the light of the stone. To resolve his teacher's theory and his own, he seeks out the legendary weapon. Inoba possess extremely high abilities at performing throws. he is very good at using his grabs and can easily take out the opponent if used properly. ______________________________________________________________________ Combos Chop Up Triple Chop Up, Up, Up Burning Vigour Chop Hold Up Rolling Upper Up + Down Knuckle Part Up + Special Low Kick Down Soul Heart Low Kick Hold Down, Down Turn Low Kick Down + Special ????

Suffering a slight wound tp the head, she was rescued by a wolf. Raised by animals, she acquired strength three times more powerful than an average human. After her wolf mother passed away, she would often attack nearby jungle villages. She was known as the "cannibal wolf girl". She was finally captured and sent to prison. Like the untamed animal she was, she could not be domesticated. Upon hearing about the wolf girl, Red Scorpion arranged her release under personal recognition. She was given the name "Jo". The next day she was whisked off to fight in the EHRGEIZ tournament. Jo has extremely good and fast combos. She can easily corner the opponent and kill him with a few deadly kick combos. ______________________________________________________________________ Combos Nature Knee Up Prisoner Kick Up, Up, Up Double High Low Kick Up, Up, Down Desert Kick Up, Up, Down, Up Playing High Up, Down, Up Playing Low Up, Down, Down Tail Strike Up + Down Wing Kick Up + Special Illusion Hang Up + Special, Up, Up Wheeled Sonic Up + Down + Special Sonic Demon Up + Down + Special, Special Nature Low Down Jail Combination Down, Up, Up, Up, Up Arrest Kick Down, Up, Up, Down Detain Kick Down, Up, Down Capture Kick Down, Down, Up, Up, Up Amazing Combination Down, Down, Up, Up + Down, Up + Down Hallucination Kicks Down, Down, Up, Up + Down, Down ????

Legend says that he, the founder of the "Lee" style of Ba Zhi Chuen and Shen Chiang were killed by poison. Miraculously, an antidote of special oils found by Red Scorpion in the Shih Huang Ti Mausoleum saved Lee's life. The oil possesses the power to reverse the aging process. If Lee continues to grow younger, he will one day perish. He needs the stone of Ehrgeiz to unlock the door to the ancient ruin and locate the legendary medicine of immortality. Shuwen is very good at his hand to hand combat and has quite unpredicted moves. His attack pattern is thus very hard to follow. His spear is also a relatively effective weapon and can dish out quite some damage. ______________________________________________________________________ Combos Charge Pummel Up Body Palm Up, Up, Up, Up Pummel Sweep Kick Up, Down Pound Kick Rising Pummel Up, Down, Up Pound Kick ????

I spent an entire month working on it myself. The other half a month I spent doing my Quest Mode Faq. I think that this FAQ is rather OK, but I still lack information about character outfits. The movelists may not be all that complete either because some sources that I check don't reveal everything or miss it out. I will thus not be able to do any updating at all for an indefinite amount of time. Acknowledgements ---------------- +++ I would like to thank everyone out there who is giving me spiritual support, and thank the game companies, Squaresoft and Dream Factory for making the game. I would also like to express my gratitude to the creator of Gamefaqs, or else I would not have had such a fun time doing this FAQ. +++ Thanks go to the various game magazines I read from all over the world... and to Dream Factory and Namco for providing most of the raw, unprocessed information. +++ Of course, I must also thank my ex-Japanese teacher for teaching me the Japanese alphabet, or I would not have been inspired to learn it in the first place. +++ Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger and Xenogears rule!!!!! +++ I must also thank my friends who have been with to the arcade and talked about other Playstation games. Thank you. Send all comments, tips, secrets, corrections, etc... that you would like me to take note of to [email protected].
