Introduction ------------------------------------------------- Ok, this is my first FAQ, so excuse any little quirks or annoyances here and there. As it is with most FAQs, I probably won't find everything on my own. So, if you have a piece of juicy information THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS FAQ, feel to send your submissions to OTACON120@webtv.net. Also, if you have any questions, also send those in, as I'm planning on adding an FAQ section to this... umm... FAQ... for questions asked by you, if I get any questions, and if you find any specials or combos that do not work, be sure to report them to the e-mail address above, and if you find any specials or combos that _DO_ work that have been reported not to work, be sure to report those too. **MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU SUBMIT SOMETHING, TELL WHAT NAME YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE REFERED TO AS (REAL NAME OR AN ALIAS) AND TELL WHETHER YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS TO BE SHOWN OR WITHHELD. If you do not tell either of the above mentioned, you will be reffered to as either the first part of your e-mail address,or whatever name is shown after your e-mail address, and if you do not tell to withhold your e-mail or not, your e-mail will be shown until told to withhold it.** ~~ALSO, IF YOU ARE ONLINE AND CANNOT WAIT TO GET HELP, AND HAVE MSN INSTANT MESSENGER, USE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS ABOVE GET AHOLD OF ME WHEN I'M ONLINE~~ Well, now the boring part is over. On to the FAQ! (Or at least a little closer to it. ^_^ ) ------------------------------------------------- 2. Updates ------------------------------------------------- 12/7/00 - v 1.0 -- The first version of the FAQ. Just the basics, but more coming soon. 12/10/00 - v 1.5 -- Got some specials for Hilary Clinton, sent in by Robert Dell-Ross (gt7451a@prism.gatech.edu), other than that, not a whole lot else happenin'. 12/14/00 - v 2.0 -- Today is my birthday, so I'm updating to celebrate! >=) I've been getting plenty of e-mail concerning how to unlock Rumbleman, so I have now included quick but specific ways to unlock each character. 12/29/00 - v 2.5 -- Well, I have been getting flooded with e-mails, and they all look about the same, a litle like this: "I tried to get Rumbleman using your strategy FAQ, but it didn't work, I have all the extra characters, so I have beaten the game 10 times, then I switched to hard mode and beat it but still nothing happened. What's the problem?", So at the moment, this is the exact number of e-mails I have recieved like the one above: 77 current e-mails. If I ever update this more, I will show the current amount of e-mails like that one above, just for your enjoyment >=) Anyway, I restarted my game, and I think I figured out the problem. Check out the Rumbleman section. 12/31/00 - v 3.0 -- Happy New Year! It's currently 10:06 Central Time over here where I'm at, and I'm bored, but I've got an update! I've added a "Quick Queries" section, where I will show questions that have been e-mailed to me (about the secret characters in some way), and I have answered them. This is there so it might help people who might have the same questions. It is now under heading # 6. where the Credit was. _"Can't Get Rumbleman" E-mails to date_: 92 1/4/01 - v 3.5 -- Not a lot, but there is now another site that has this FAQ posted, so I am making sure that they don't get reported by adding them to the Legal Info at the bottom... I have also changed "Quick Queries" to "E-mail Info" because I am now doing more than answering questions... better explanation at the actual "E-mail Info" section. BTW, this new section has a code that may help a lot of you saying "[Insert Character] and [Insert Character] aren't showing up! Help!!!1!1!! PleeZz!1" (I actually got an e-mail like that. >=) _"Can't Get Rumbleman" E-mails to date_: 98 1/28/01 - v 4.0 -- Well, got a few more E-mails, a new move for Bill Clinton (Thanks to Lorde1399@aol.com). Aslo, gave info on how to contact me live online. _"Can't Get Rumbleman" E-mails to date_: 179 (>.<) 3/30/01 - v 4.5 -- Whew... been a while since I've updated this baby, eh? I got a new Hillary Clinton special, thanks to Scott "BODY Bags" Wilson (Wilson6579@aol.com). Thanks a lot, Scott! Also, added a new site to the list of sites this FAQ should appear on. =-} Rumbleman e-mails have slowed down, and I only got 53 more, rather than the usual 80 - 90. _"Can't Get Rumbleman" E-mails to date_: 232 6/9/01 - v 5.0 -- Long time no update, no? I've been getting lots of e-mails saying they can't get Rumbleman, more than usual... compare last update's Rumbleman E-mails with this updates... O.O Anyway, I made it a little more clear, to see if that helps.... also, this FAQ is going to be very sparingly updated now, as there isn't much more I can do... I still will update when necessary, just not that much. >=) _"Can't Get Rumbleman" E-mails to date_: 518 ------------------------------------------------- 3.

If you have a question, sned it to me, it may show up here. =-) Question: From: SLiMSHaDY2o7@aol.com Date: Sat, Dec 30, 2000, 10:55am (CST+1) To: OTACON120@webtv.net Subject: R2R : Round 2 Question Hey I got a question for ya, How do you save the secret characters after you get them....if you could tell me that would be cool. Later man Answer: Well, after you have unlocked the secret characters you want to save, go to Championship Mode and save. Then whenever you want to load your secret characters, go into Championship Mode and load the file you saved. Every secret character you had saved onto that file should automatically show up. ----------------------- Tidbit: From: jmend311@home.com (Jose Mendoza) Date: Mon,Jan 1, 2001, 9:19pm (CST-2) To:OTACON120@webtv.net Subject: Ready to Rumble 2 Character trick Hi, I don't know if you've heard about this, but there is a code to unlock all of the characters, including their holiday outfits. At the title screen, press left, left, right, R2, left, right, right, R1, R1, R2 This would be the ultimate addition to your FAQ. Thanks for your time. Joser311 Response: Hey, thanks!
