1000 – Introduction to this guide
Hi all, this is my first attempt to write a guide so just bear with me,
basically this is to make things as easy as possible for you, the player,
to beat, unlock and hopefully enjoy this game.
Now many of you are asking “why did he make a guide for this game?” well
mainly I see a lot of people whine and complain on forums, getting stuck
on missions, wondering what codes there are, and so on, and not to
mention that there aren’t any guides out there for this game that I know
of (a side from the one you can buy for $25).
In here you’ll find strategies for beating each characters story-mode
missions, some cheats and maybe even some useful (or useless) trivia!
So with out further adieu, I give you MARVEL NEMESIS: RISE OF THE
IMPERFECTS!
=====================================================
1001 – Controls/Movements in game (Game Cube)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic controls:
Left Joystick - Move around, hold L Button while moving to increase
mobility (run, sling, or fly)
Right Joystick (C-stick) - in Story mode moves camera around.
L Button – Hold down while moving to run/web-sling/fly, or tap A while
using mobility to do mobility attack, and you may perform super mobility
attacks by holding R.
R Button – Hold R to regain super bar, hold R and tap A to do super
attacks, tap R to activate RAGE mode when RAGE is flashing, hold R and
tap grapple when an enemy’s health is in danger to perform a finisher.

A Button – Punch/Kick, tap 3 times to combo
X Button – Grapple, hold R and tap X to do a super grapple
Y Button – Block, hold R and Y to super block (reflects projectiles back
at enemy)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced controls:
L and R Buttons - After being tossed press these two to recover, flyers
will begin to fly, melee characters will roll and
recover, and slingers will swing away.
R and A Buttons - Will activate a projectile or power up melee attacks
depending on character.
R and Y Buttons - Performs a super block, will deflect projectiles and
block ANY thrown objects such as tanks, however they consume 25% of your
special bar.

joystick to roll/dodge attacks, tap A during roll/hand-spring to perform
an upper-cut.
R and B Buttons - Performs super jump.
L and B Buttons - Causes flyers to fly higher.
R and X Buttons - Perform a super grapple (requires minimum of 25%
energy) and when enemy's health is in flashing DANGER you perform a
FINISHER.
B then L Button - Jumping and then tapping L causes slingers to "sling".
====================================================
1002.0 – Characters
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In this section you will find out what weight class each character is, what
category they fall under(Melee, Flier, Slinger), What's their "home
level"(Their best level is marked with a *star*), what they say before and
after a match, what special moves they do, how to do them, glitches that give
them an advantage, Finisher description, in-game Stats(the ones that matter),
and Pro/Cons.
Weight classes
There are three different weight classes and they are separated in to three
classes: Light, Middle, and Heavy.
Light - Can only lift light objects like barrels and mail boxes, usually takes
damage easily, faster than most other classes.
Middle - can lift middle weight objects like cars and steel crates, takes
damage fairly well, moderate speed.
Heavy - can lift heavy weight objects like lamp posts and tanks, takes little
damage, usually slowest of the classes.
Categories
I have separated all the characters in to THREE separate categories:
FLYER, MELEE/TANK, and SLINGERS.
Flyer - is a character that, you guessed it, FLIES! These characters
usually have poor melee skills, and rely on quick flying attacks.
Melee - character is someone that is strictly hand to hand combat,
only a few have a projectile attack but rely heavily on melee attacks to
win matches.
Slinger - is basically a cross between melee and fliers, they have the
ability to swing and zip line to a destination very quickly.
------------------------------------------------------------------
1002.1 – Marvel Characters
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Our beloved heroes are here to save the day! Too bad during story mode
you pretty much have to kill off a few just to finish the game. Has any
one ever noticed that when a threat occurs, the heroes are able to
organize like in ten seconds to fight the enemy, and then villains are
pretty much picking their noses when they’re supposed to be anticipating
a retaliatory action..?

1002.3 - The Imperfect goons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just added these for story mode, just so you guys know how much damage
these guys can take, and how much they can dish out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Invader – They’re the weakest of the weak, they do little damage, and
take little damage, the first enemy you face, can lift barrels only,
blade combos are annoying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Decapitator – Basically bigger and stronger versions of Invaders can lift
cars, and take more damage, that’s about the only difference.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Eviscerator – Exactly like Invaders except they only grapple and when
they do they suicide bomb you, doing minimal damage, but if you counter
grapple they just blow them selves up or if you quick you can kill them
very easily.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mauler – Now here’s a really unhappy camper, a little more difficult to
kill has a fair amount of health, can lift cars and can do
mini-earthquakes like Fault zone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Obliterator – A modified Mauler, instead of tremors, he shoots energy
projectiles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ravager – Modified Invader that shoots energy projectiles, no melee
attacks, that’s it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Marauder – The first flying unit in the game flies around randomly and
shoots at you.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Desolator – Same as Marauder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Predator – Same as Marauder and Desolator.
====================================================
1003.0 – Story Mode
---------------------------------------------------------------
This portion of the guide is for story mode, which apparently a lot of
people have problems with, either unable to get through the first level
with Thing due to a glitch (if this is the case; I would like to direct
you to section 1005 - Cheats to by-pass this glitch), some missions being
extremely difficult, or just that you have some other “moral” issues with
it. I for one found story mode to be exactly what it’s supposed to be, a
story mode for a fighting game, although with mission oriented twists, I
also say that its better than the usual fighter story mode where you
merely fight one person at a time until you meet the final boss (like in
Street Fighter and/or Mortal Combat). Granted you have to go through it
to unlock over two-thirds of the levels and characters, but luckily I
have included a cheat section for all you slackers. But for those
interested in getting things (including all cards, comics and movies) via
story here you go:
There are three different types of mission in Story Mode
Regular missions: You have a set objective, like; kill a number of
enemies, destroy targets and so on.
Bonus missions: Usually destroy, or kill a set number of enemies or
targets within a time limit.
Sacrifice missions: This occurs when all characters in the mission select
screen have completed their 3 Regular missions, and the mission select
screen turns Red, at which point when you select a character you wish to
sacrifice, you will not play as that character, rather you will play as
either an Imperfect, or Altered (“evil-clone”) Marvel character, and use
them to kill the target Marvel Character.
I found there is one way to unlock about 90% of all the movies, cards,
characters and comics in one play through story mode, please not that I
have left out a few characters that you will have to play as during the
game, just beat their first 3 missions and bonus and let them be, only
the characters that face Imperfects will unlock 90% of the game:
Thing missions 1 - 3 and bonus missions
Wolverine missions 1-3
Sacrifice Thing
Storm missions 1-3
Wolverine's bonus missions
Storm 1-3
Sacrifice Wolverine
Storm bonus
Electra missions 1-3
Daredevil missions 1-3
Sacrifice either Daredevil or Electra
Daredevil/Electra’s (who ever is left) bonus missions
Venom mission 1-3 and bonus
Sacrifice Daredevil/Electra or Venom
Spider man mission 1-3 and bonus missions
Sacrifice (who ever is left from the following) Spider man,
Daredevil/Electra or Venom
Iron man missions 1-3 and bonus
Sacrifice Iron man
At this point you will only have Magneto and he automatically plays out
all his missions and then it will lead you to Paragon's missions, and
boom your done, there are however a few cards you may have missed due to
other characters SACRIFICE missions but if your not too picky you don’t
have to go through again, just to recap: Only sacrifice characters that
get killed by Imperfects, other than that use "extra" characters only for
their first 3 missions and bonus missions to unlock cards and comic
books.
In closing the characters that you should sacrifice to unlock the other
characters are (in this order I believe): Thing, Wolverine, Electra,
Daredevil, Venom, Spiderman, Iron man, and Magneto.

1003.00 - PS2 WARNING!
---------------------------------------------------------
**** ATTENTION PS2 OWNERS ****
I have been recieving a few questions about the First mission being glitched
and no enemies appearing, you have THREE options:
----------------------------------------------------------
(1) This is a message from EA-tech support:
Thanks for writing us at EA Technical Support. I understand that you are
currently having issues with Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. There are
a few questions I need to ask. Have you tried restarting the game? This can
often resolve issues when a level does not load properly.
If that does not resolve the issue, try starting the game without a memory card
installed. If this solves the issue then there may be a corruption in the
game's save file. Try deleting the game file and starting the game with a new
save file.
If the above does not resolve the issue, it may be a sign of deeper issues with
the game or console. Follow the link below to help resolve the issue:
Please try the following steps that might help resolve your issue:
Check the game disc.
If there are any noticeable scratches or smudges on the surface of the game
disc, try to clean them off by using a non-abrasive cotton cloth.
Note: Do not rub hard and do not rub in a circular motion as this could further
damage the game disc.
If there aren’t any noticeable scratches or smudges on the surface of the game
disc, try using that game disc in another Playstation 2.
If the game disc works in another system, this is an indicator that your
Playstation 2 may be damaged. For information on getting your system repaired
or replaced, you will want to contact Sony directly for assistance at
1-800-345-SONY.
If the game disc does not work in another system, this is a good indicator that
the disc is damaged or defective. To acquire a replacement game disc you will
want to refer to your manual for warranty information specific to your product.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Unplug all non-official peripherals.
The easiest way to ensure this is to unplug any peripherals except for the
official licensed controllers that came with the system. This includes any
memory cards or network adaptors. When the console is starting up it will
calibrate the controllers. Do not move the thumb sticks or press any of the
buttons until the EA logo appears.
Example of non-liscenced equipment manufacturers: Nyko AirFlow, MadCatz
MicroCon, Mad Catz Dual Force 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Use default settings for the game.
Before trying to remove the savegame data set any controller, sound, and video
settings to their default setting. This can be done by removing the memory
unit, or deleting the game's settings information from the hard drive.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Remove game related save data.
Power on the Playstation 2 without a game disc inside to display the
Playstation 2 front end.
Select Browser.
Select the memory card that you are using by highlighting it and pressing the X
button.
Find and delete any save file with a name matching the game you are having
trouble with by highlighting the game file and pressing the X button.
Once all of the save files have been removed, restart the console with the game
disc inside.
Try playing the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Check your configuration.
Sometimes certain control configurations can conflict with your data. Try
changing the control configuration to Default from the Options menu (if such an
option is available).
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolved the issue.
Then it is possible that the disc may be defective and needs replacement.
However before trying to have the game replaced by EA, you can try have the
game replaced at the store where you purchased as much as possible to avoid
incur additional shipping charges if you let EA replce the game.
The EA Warranty information is as follows:
REPLACEMENT
If your game disk has been determined to be defective upon purchase, or has
been damaged due to misuse or wear, our warranty department can replace it for
a nominal fee. Click on the following link for replacement instructions and
associated fees:
http://eatech.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/eatech.cfg/php/enduser/cci/warranty_information.php
RETURN
If you wish to return the game, more then likely the store you bought it at
will not accept the return because the box has been opened. In this case, you
can send the game back to our Warranty department and we will give you a sealed
copy of the game so that the store will accept the return. Click on the
following link for replacement instructions:
http://eatech.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/eatech.cfg/php/enduser/cci/warranty_information.php
For further assistance about any Electronic Arts games please visit our
extensive Self Help knowledge base. (http://support.ea.com)
I hope this helps and that you will continue to enjoy the game. If you have any
other questions feel free to reply to this e-mail, and I will be very glad to
help you out to the best of my ability.
Should you require further assistance with this game or other Electronic Arts
games in the future, please visit our website and review our extensive Self
Help knowledgebase at (http:support.ea.com).
Thank you,

-------------------------------------------------------------
(2) Head to section; 1005 - Cheats, and find the cheat labeled with four(4)
stars(****), this will allow you to by-pass the glitch partially.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(3) You can go back to the store and return/exchange the game for either your
money back/store credit or take a chance with getting a newer (1.01) version of
the game that will hopefully work, although be warned that games are not
usually labeled with version information!
=========================================================
1003.1 – Thing -
Once a skilled fighter-pilot, Ben Grimm is now the Thing, a member of the
world-famous Fantastic Four. Bathed in cosmic radiaition during a fateful trip
with his 3 friends, Ben was transformed into a hideous creature of craggy,
orange stone with superhuman strength.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1003.11 - Mission 1 – Invasion - Card# 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple mission, the game’s first tutorial; learn to jump, run and do
basic attacks, first run straight, punch the wall of cars three times to
break them (this is where I heard the PS2 version glitches, no enemies
show up and player is left with nowhere to go; at which point go to
section 1005 - Cheats to by-pass this glitch), once that happens you
should see an enemy (Invader) teleport in and taunt you, go up to him &
lay the smack down on his invading butt! After that you’ll see two more
teleport in on the other side of the bridge you can wait and let them
