X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse Perfect Run - Gambit Intro Stage
9Alright, my next project is a perfect run of X-men: Mutant Apocalypse. A brawler with a few unique mechanics, and actually pretty decent for an X-men game.
The player is allowed to use one of five characters: Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, and Psylocke. However, instead of just picking one for the entire game, the player can pick and choose for almost every stage. An interesting mechanic that adds a little strategy to the character you pick. Be wary though, each character has his/her own lives. Once that character runs out, he/she won't be usable anymore. If any character runs out of lives during the intro stages, I think that's game over (since an intro stage can only be played by a particular X-man).
Anywho, the first five stages require you use each X-man in separate missions. We'll be starting with Gambit. Gambit is a versatile fighter that has good ranged and melee attacks. However, he not the strongest in either category, but he has powerful combo capabilities. Here is a list of his attacks:
Y : Staff Combo
Down + Y: Trip Staff
Up + Y : Double Kick
Forward Forward + Y : Single Card Toss
Down Forward + Y : Triple Card Toss
Up Up + Y : High Card Toss
The stage is pretty straightforward. Not too much that is out of the ordinary besides the cargo jumping section and the elevator section. The boss is a helicopter equipped with four cannons. They can only be reached by throwing a kinetic card upward, so make sure you know how to do that. Just beat up the pilot after taking down the cannons to win.
Beast's stage is next. Enjoy the video!
