x-men: next dimension

the forge vs sentinel match is pretty tough, nowadays I can win it easily, but the first battles were like impossible, just jump around and kick him in the head, and wait for the super lvl 4, then unleash it

Those 2 sentinel battles are very annoying. Just make sure when you get to the match that is Magneto VS Bastion that you LOSE. You will see a cinema and now the next match will be Phoenix VS Bastion. Defeat him to get the "Good" ending. Winning with Magneto will get you the crappy ending and a 2nd set of costumes.

If you want the Secret(Best) ending, defeat Bastion with a "PERFECT" during the Phoenix VS Bastion match. It's not that hard. I'll post some good combos if you don't know of any, because you'll need them to get the Secret ending. 😄

Getting the Secret ending will also unlock another character and the 2nd set of costumes if you didn't already get them. 😉

forge has a combo. where you knock them back a little . do that,(its really easy) and then hit your throw button and then hit him again 2 times on the ground and jump back. it's the easiest and fastest way to win that fight. just keep doing that over and over.

Rogue rules the court. She takes little damage, heals through her absorbtion, has decent Level 2 supers...the only drawback is her LOUSY accent. It makes me wince. Thank God for Mute.

Gambit fairly good too, but Gamecube doesn't let you use his aerial throws if he's already attacked in midair. Which blows like kitties on Alka-Seltzer.

Nightcrawler would be better if he didn't take so much damage, because he's fast but Storm takes just as much as him.

do characters say something?
what do they say??? 😕

I'll list some:
cyclops - for a better tomorrow
sabretooth - your gonna scream for me / I love the taste of blood
storm - the wind cries STORM
beast - fascinating
mystique - human lover
juggernaut - juggernaut rules
havok - cyclops isnt the only summers with gifted powers
rogue - thats gotta hurt
gambit - pick a card
jean - your mind is weak

thats all I can remember for now

I'll see some more...

Nightcrawler: Your technique lacks a sense of style/I'll turn you into schnitzel! (isn't that the dumbest catch-line ever?)
Rogue: You could definitely use a woman's touch/This is gonna hurt/I'm sure that hurt you more than me, sugah.
Gambit: Had enough, mon ami?/Think you're good enough to take on Gambit/Pick a card/That's gotta hurt/Losing ain't my style.
Dark Phoenix: *evil laughter*/Your soul is mine! (or something like that)
Phoenix: Feel the burn/You must enjoy playing with fire/Your mind is weak.
Storm: You stood no chance against the elements/The wind cries STORM/A storm is coming.
Bishop: I'll put you down like a dog/You old timer's make me laugh/Be thankful I didn't kill you.
Mystique: Human lover!/Why do I bother?
Blob: You've worked up my appetite.
Toad: Your rotting corpse on ice, that'd be Toady paradise!/Give us a kiss.
Cyclops: For a better tomorrow/It's heart that wins battles/Your moves are sloppy.
Havok: Let's see Cyclops do that/The kid's on fire today!/Cyclops isn't the only Summers kid with power.
Deathstrike: You waste my time/Yuriko is gone, there is only Deathstrike/I shall restore my honor/Kakatakoi/Shine!
Psylocke: Here's the deal, you hold still and I beat you senseless/Thouroughly disappointing.
Betsy: Thouroughly disappointing.
Beast: Fascinating.
Juggernaut: Get ready for the beating of your life/Juggernaut rules!
Magneto: Humans, your time has come/Bow before me/Surrender to my might.
Sabretooth: Ah, the taste of blood/I can smell your fear/You're gonna scream for me.
Wolverine: I've got six reasons for you to walk away.

That's all I can remember.

Wolvie: I got 6 reasons for ye to walk away 😄 luv it

Besty also says: BOLLOCKS when she does a throw ✅

They all have loads more, you press triangle cross together during a fight and they say a phrase AND it charges up the supers bar 😉

Oh, and Betsy says "Sod off!" during some of her throws.

Rogue's accent is way screwed up.

yeah it does suck

when playing story mode also, in forges fight with the sentinal, the easiest way to win that i found is to step back immediately when the fight starts so it deosn't hit you then throw a bomb, when the sentinal tries to get back up, throw another. Just keep throwing the bombs and ye will win in no time 😉

Yeah, but Forge irritates me. So I let my brother eat the Sentinel.

X:ND was the way I got into X-Men originally, so I hadn't a clue what Remy was saying half the time. I didn't know he was supposed to have an acent until I looked it up. 😑 But now I know. 🙂

i had mutant academy 2 free with my ps1, thats partly how i got into this shit ✅

I have Mutant Academy 1 & 2. They were fun until Next Dimension was released. 😄

Next dimension is good, but if you combine the 4 way movements and better graphics with the mutant academy 2 then that would be a game definatley worth playing and would be a lot better than next dimension. ND needs a lot of improvements and the game play is set and made too hard, its practically impossible to do anything above easy mode

nah, i can own anything in the game on expert its easy just learn combos. i liked everymode except the story mode. i really think the story in this game sucked./

It does get annoying when you are not aligned with an opponent when doing as super or aerial combo. I always play on Expert, it isn't hard to beat the crap out of the AI, they just block A LOT. Use counters and 15-hit custom combos and you'll win 90% of the time...even on Expert difficulty. You should just pick one character at a time, find their combo list online, and practice until you are unbeatable. 😄

Mutanta Academy didn't have fully 3D enviornments, so you never had to worry about your attacks missing their target, but that made the game too easy sometimes. 🙂

The Mutant Academy FMV's are better than some of the Next Dimension FMV's. Wolverine looks nasty in the ND FMV's. 😘

You can create your own combos too. Rogue, on Gamecube, has a BBAA - jump - AB Hyper Belle Ringer (A+B) combo that's easy and efficient. If you don't like that, her X kick is good for lofting opponents high in the air.

Gambit has some easy combos too, like AXAAB - jump - BBBXX (after this you ccan throw if you're using anything except Gamecube). Jeggernaut has some good combos too, but anyone countering punches will knock his socks off.

Key:
LP=Light Punch
FP=Fierce Punch
LK=Light Kick
FK=Fierce Kick
<=Left and so on
+=Press together
L(#)Transfer=Transfer power to that specific super bar
...=Short Pause

Phoenix:

TK Pulls: FP,FP,<+LP,*Follow up with one of these*>+FP OR \/+FP
>+LP,FP,FK,LK(Launch Move) These stun the opponent and are very useful in custom combos.

FP,FP,<+LP...SLP,FP,LK,LK,LK*^*(Wait until close to ground)LP,LK,FP,FK...<+LK+FK,*L2Transfer*,<+LK+FK,*L2Transfer*,<+LK+FK
*Level 4 Super Bar for all 3 Flame Uproars*

*Note* You can replace the <+LK+FK with <+LP+FP.

LP,FP,LK...LP,FP,LK,LK,LK, LP+FP(Press as soon as opponent starts to fall) Around 10,000pts. damage and adds confusion *Level 1 Super Bar Needed*

Mystique:

<--+LK,LP,(*Wait*)-->+FP,FP,FP(She should swing her gun instead of shooting it),(WAIT until opponent is close to ground)-->+FP,FP,FP(WAIT until opponent is about 3 feet above your head)LP+FP*Level 2 Super Bar Needed*

It should do about 19,000pts damage if done right. The hardest part is getting the second -->+FP,FP,FP to connect before the opponent hits the ground.

Cyclops:

LP,LK,FP,FP,QCB+FK,^,LP,LK,FP,FK,LP+FP(L3Transfer)LP+FP(After Landing)
25,000pts damage Lvl. 4 Super Bar

In practice mode turn on the Infinite Super Bar and add <+LP+FP after the ground optic blast to increase the damage to about 29,500!(82 Hits)
