THE WALKTHROUGH==================================================| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==Cyclops== He's the first guy, so it's not that hard to beat him. I would suggest that you keep hitting him until you are open for a throw, and then throw him. ==Wolverine== He heals really quick and moves around pretty quick, so you need to hit him fast and hard. Also, use specials if you have learned them already. ==Gambit== He'll get hits in on you, so be quick and deadly. Use specials when you're sure you can use them. Also, keep an eye on your health bar. ==Storm== She can hit you more than the rest. Watch your health bar and make sure you only use specials sparingly. Also, throwing takes her life down quickly. ==Beast== He'll hit you with a lot of combos if you don't hit him fast enough. That's why it's probably good to use the easier specials as well as strong hits. ==Phoenix== She mostly attacks short-range, so keep away from her and use lots of long- range specials. Make sure she doesn't get close or jump near you. ==Toad== He attacks extremely fast, so try and attack faster than him. If you need to, use lots of counters and specials. Change up your attacks, as well. ==Mystique== She's the hardest, and will hit you with no mercy. Try and counter if you can't get a hit in on her. Also, use specials a lot! ==Sabretooth== He's fairly easy to beat. Keep hitting him, but be fast about it, because he has a healing factor. Also, try and dodge him when he does attack. ==Magneto== He can be tough, but keep throwing him and staying out of his way with counters. He's got a long range, and he hits hard. Just stick it out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |=====5.
