1) REVISION HISTORY

Version 1.2 (2001/08/12)

a) I make some modification about the Super Special Move (look at the

Basic Controls section). I found you can have access to two levels of

power when you're doing a Super Special attack.

You can make an alternate version of Cassandra's White Wave super

but directly on the ground. Look at Cassandra's own character moves list

for more details. Thanks a lot to Kuang Liew for this great pieces of

info.

c) I found some infos about Abubo (not Abobo). Look at Abubo own

character moves list for more details. Thanks to

Playmore(www.playmore.co.jp) for the new things about this mid-boss.

 

Version 1.1 (2001/08/01)

After having played many times, and writing a faq for some times now,

I am ready to give it to the public. My major issues in this faq are

about the backgrounds of the characters, the controls, and the moves

names and their respective joystick motions. Any help on these will be

greatly appreciated.

 

 

2) INTRODUCTION

Rage of the Dragons it's a Tag Team fighting game (2 VS 2) developed by

Noise Factory and distributed by Evoga. The victory goes to the first

team able to defeat the 2 other fighters. The game features 14 playable

characters and 2 bosses.

 

I'm writing this because I don't find any faq about this game until

today, and I think this game deserve it because it's a very good one.

The fighting engine is great and the graphics are good (a little under

Mark of the Wolves standard). The animation it's sometimes choppy, but

real good in general. The backgrounds and the musics are OK.

 

There probably a few mistakes about the names and the background of the

characters; the controls; the names and the motion of the special moves,

but I'm still working on it. Sadly, the Rage of the Dragons machine in

my local arcade it's already gone. So, if I don't find an other arcade

with the game, I will probably buy the NeoGeo cartridge to complete this

faq.

 

 

3) STORY

3.1) The Legend of the Dragons

The art of the dragons it's a very unique art among the rest because it

practices the worship of the dragons, ancient creatures that once roar

on the earth. This mythical art can transform the human energy into

power for good or evil depending of which dragon the user decides to

adore.

 

The cult comes from all parts of the world, and in many ancient cultures

it was used. However, there are different ways to learn the abilities

of the dragons. The power of the dragons gives to the user the power

over many elements among other powers. But the resonance among the

different dragons provokes the user to look for the challenge of other

dragons. Those who pay respect to the legends will fight for honor. But

those blinded by ambition and power will destroy the adversaries to gain

more power from the defeated dragon.

 

The dragons have been in many different ways and in very different

persons along the history. They have decided some important parts of

mankind during many centuries. Sometimes, evil dragons raise to gain

power to become superior over other dragons and rules. Unavoidably, the

dragons must clash to balance the power and keep peace.

 

The humans are conducts to the dragons energy, and can live in harmony

or be consumed by the power of the dragons. Those that had summoned a

dragon are also mark to be in constant confrontation with the rest of

the dragons and to feel the resonance of the spirits. Only those who

train can control the full power of the dragons. Those who don't will

live in a constant confusion because they don't know how to deal with

this kind of power.

 

3.2) Background Story

Sunshine City is ruined. Decadent and corrupted, the city is a no man's

land ruled by the law of the strongest. The police and the national

army are not able to stop the violence wave along with the corruption in

the government and others authorities that make the situation worse.

 

Among the chaotic situation exist a strong group that practice the

religious worship to the BLACK DRAGON. This group is quite recent but

has gain a lot of young followers with their faith lost in life and in a

world in economic recession and severe climatic crisis. The leader of

this sect is a young and powerful heir with a sumptuous mansion set in

one island close to the Sunshine Bay. From their, this young man

controls the city in totality and the fates of many people.

 

This man has been possessed by the evil spirit of the BLACK DRAGON, an

ancient spirit confined in a sacred stone and it was awaken by this

powerful man. Long ago, he was a martial student, tenacious and strong

but also too ambitious. Because of this, he was expulsed from the dojo

where he was learning the ways of the dragons along with the SHO SETZU

KEN art. Because of this, he promises that his old master will be trash

for rejecting him. So, he steal one of the old seals that kept the

BLACK DRAGON spirit. His anger and hate feed the BLACK DRAGON spirit

and took possession of him and became a powerful leader. With his

power, his cult grow quickly and overpowered the Sunshine City

authorities, and now, its expanding through the country. This has

happen in humanity several times, and now, it will happen again.

 

This sect will overwhelm in a way or another the life of many people in

Sunshine City. The sect has grow more and more ruthless. So this time,

when two brothers feel the need for confrontation, that flows from the

BLACK DRAGON energy. The dragons have the destiny to fight each other

and they can't escape from it. The confrontation is set! The dragons

are summonded! This is the...

 

3.3) Rage of the Dragons

Old master of the SHO SETZU KEN and guardian of some of the Dragon

Spirits have travel long time ago and stay in Sunshine City when it was

a blooming community in development. From there, he will look to

fulfill his mission, and the task of guardian of the dragon symbols is

to keep alive the ancient art of the SHO SETZU KEN, but he will commit a

mistake...

 

Knowing the power of the dragons and feared to not find nobody capable

of keeping the seals, he took the decision of inserting the spirit of

the dragons in his most noble students.

 

He found two brothers with the natural spirit of the dragon born with

them, something very unusual. This young blood came from Jimmy and

Billy Lewis. This brother were from a violent family that make big

brother Jimmy to escape from it with his younger brother and they were

welcome by Master Lee. He felt the energy that marks those who can

achieve the enlightment of the dragon, so he started the training of

both brothers on different worships. Jimmy started the training on the

RED DRAGON, while Billy did the same with the BLUE DRAGON. But a

tragedy and a dispute between both brothers after Marian's death, the

girlfriend of Jimmy, make them to split and leave the training.

 

The old master knew that this could be dangerous because they did not

achieve enough discipline to control the dragons power that lives inside

them. After the confrontation, both brothers took different ways in a

self quest to find more about the dragons and how to control the power

that lives inside them and grows each time more and more.

 

Knowing that his days where count, the master decide to give to his

grandaughter, Lynn Baker, the WHITE DRAGON seal and train her in this

art to have a successor. But he did not expected that an old student

returned to show how powerful he became with the BLACK DRAGON spirit.

So he confronted his old master, but because of his elderly age, the old

man died before the fight. After he left the dojo, Lynn returned to the

site after she escaped from the training. She felt the fall of a dragon

and the rising power of a new one. This energy was felt also to by the

brothers who decide to return to the city, each one by their own side to

know what is going on, while the power of the BLACK DRAGON keeps growing

more and more powerful.

that once belong to the great Aztec empire that spread across all

Mexico. Inside, he found an ancient scroll that kept the spirit of the

GREEN DRAGON, Quetzalcoatl, as it was know in ancient Mexico. The

sleeping spirit felt the natural resonance in this new host and took

possession of Pepe's body. Confused, Pepe returned to the city.

 

After this encounter, he started to train under the hidden guidance of

the spirit to the ancient Aztec art of fighting with bases in speed,

kicks, short range attacks and grabs. Because Pepe ignored he was doing

all this stuff under the guidance of Quetzalcoatl, he tough it was cool

all those movements that suddenly he was able to perform.

But this, along with his lack of discipline, got him some troubles.

 

Back in Mexico City, he got into troubles with a band that ruled his

neighbourhood. Because of that, his father, fearing something may

happen to his son, decided to send Pepe to Sunshine City where an uncle

lived. There, he goes to high school and easily made lots of friends.

He met Pupa and Pau, two girls that will cause him lots of pains.

 

After the rising power of the BLACK DRAGON and the arrival of the rest

of the other dragons, Pepe felt something was not right. The spirit of

the green dragon felt the confrontation with evil forces was about to

start. So, once again, the dragon leads Pepe into battle when he

decided to help Pupa to find her big brother lost in the turmoil of the

sect.
