1. LAYIN' DOWN DA LAW!
NO-ONE MAY PUT THIS ON THEIR SITE WITHOUT
MY DUE PERMISSION! Failure to do so will result in me
getting out the chainsaw which I hold so dear and chopping
off hands and fingers!!!
I have had walkthroughs stolen before, but now I am getting nasty!
I used to review games, I was a reporter for a website- I know what I
have to do if anyone steals my work. And my friends a solicitor
(lawyer to americans!). She informs me that if you value the money
you earn, you must not steal other peoples works!
Bloody Roar 3 is arguably the best fighter so far on the Playstation 2. It has a lot of depth,
and requires skill and cunning to win over opponents even in it's easiest setting!
I fought tooth and claw (pardon the pun!) to get my hands on a copy... I simply had to have this
since I was a fan of the original two...
Now hopefully you know what BR3 is about, but if not or you're reading this by accident (heh heh)
Bloody Roar basically is a 3D beat-em-up. But to add more depth and a lot more fun, mid-game (when
your BEAST bar is ready!) you can morph into a were-animal and proceed to rip your pitiful foe
to shreds. The mixture of were-animals is varied... see CHARACTERS section for more details on
which creatures made it into this final version!
I wanted to do one of the first complete guides for this game, and hopefully I have succeeded in
writing a clear, easy-to-follow guide. I have included EVERY character and practically every combo
and move for each... and my hands ache!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
3. Stuff you'll need to learn
OK, first is my key. You'll need to learn this to understand my guide but it's nothing complex.
F = forward SQUARE = Punch R1 = Heavy Guard
B = back X = Kick L1 = Beast
D = crouch CIRCLE = Beast R2 = Sidestep (Towards screen)
U = jump TRI = Throw L2 = Sidestep (Away from screen)
QCB/F = Quarter Circle Back/Forward
HCB/F = Half circle Back/Forward
360 = Spin Control Stick/D-Pad 360 degrees.
Now we got that sorted...
BLOCKING! (Or avoiding getting yourself creamed!)
In this game there are two types of blocking- Light and Heavy. To perform a
light block, just cease all movement for a split second. Your character will
block automatically... it is effective against all but guard breaks! Heavy
Guards (R1) protect against everything but recovery from it can leave you open
to a counter-throw...
THROWS (Or throwing your weight around!)
Whats a beat-em-up without easy throws? These can be performed by pressing just
TRI or SQUARE and X. To avoid them, press SQUARE and X or SQUARE and (R1) to
counter-throw. Master this fast because it can make all the difference in the
heat of battle!!!
GUARD ATTACKS (Or cheap, nasty moves...)
Yes I admit this is one of the cheapest and easiest moves in the game. It is
performed by QCB+SQUARE or X. You will flash green and then attack while
performing a high/middle guard.
ESCAPING AND REVERSALS (Or the masters counter attack...)
For the more advanced player it's possible to dodge the opponents attack. This
is done by pressing R1 and a direction right before an attack hits. During this
you can use a reversal attack too. Master this and you gain a good advantage...
BEAST DRIVES (Or the main feature!)
There are two basic ones, and some characters have special drives. These are
devestating attacks which can only be performed while you're in BEAST mode. You
revert to normal when you have finished performing the move though! The move is
done by QCF,QCF+CIRCLE or QCB,QCB+CIRCLE. If a character has a unique one I will
mention it, but this is default...
HYPER-BEAST FORM (Or letting all hell break loose!)
Chaos! When you have a full beast meter, press R1+CIRCLE+SQUARE or press
R1+CIRCLE+X. Once in Hyper Beast form, the timer freezes for 12 seconds. You have
unlimited beast drives and a faster recovery rate during this time. But when it's
over, you will not be able to change into a beast for the rest of the match!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
4. Basic moves
Strangely, most games do this now. Each character has pretty much the same moves,
but fortunately this game balances it out a lot in speed, strength and recovery.
Although names of moves change, the basic idea always is the same, and so are the
commands. Experiment.
5. CHARACTERS!
Finally, what you came here for I bet! Specials list of each character, their beast form
and what style fits them. I have red-raw hands so please respect this work and not steal
from this list kthnx. Moves under COMBO header are ones which qualifyably link together
to perform legitimate combos.
*Shenlong
OK, the token Cool Dude of the bunch. Shenlong is quite similar to Long in moves, but Shenlong
seems to be a more rounded individual. Shenlong's beast form is that of a Tiger, and his moves,
while not extraordinarily powerful, are definately eye-openers. For newbies and pros alike.
+NOTE+ I have tried so many times but for some reason Shenlong can't use Beast Drives!+

*Long
Like Shenlong, Long can morph into tiger form too. However, Long is a little quicker,
and his moves a little more varied. However, Long is much more specialised even though
his style is almost identical to Shenlong...

*Stun
Stun dresses a little too much like Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 than I can
comfortably handle... anyway. His morph form is of a Beetle (which reminds me of
Heracross from Pokemon G/S) so lots of bug jokes...
*Shina
Ooh, yummy! Shina makes Lara look pig ugly, plus Shina is much much cooler
than Lara could ever DREAM of being. Plus can Lara morph into a leapord? No,
of course she can't dummy!

Reverse Swing = 360degrees b anticlockwise+SQUARE
SPECIALS

#3 = do a REVERSE SWING,CIRCLE,SQUARE,CIRCLE,CIRCLE,X,X
*Jenny
The token scantily-clad woman, Jenny looks a bit slim to be a fighter,
until she morphs into her Bat guise, then you'll wish you never opened
your big mouth! She doesn't have that many moves though, bummer!

*Uriko
Token kid, Alice used to be but she's much more grown up now! Guess
what her animorph is? Go on? Oh, OK, it's a cat. Mess with her and this
is one kitty which won't settle down with a saucer of milk!
PEACEFUL POSTURE MOVES

Gotta have a ninja... haven't you? Yeah, of course. But one thing
still confuses me... why on gods green earth is his morph that of a
mole? Sorry, did I miss something somewhere?

***back to opponent!***
Short Sword = d+SQUARE
Foothold = d+X
*Gado
Gado is the biker, in his leather overalls, shades, jeans and kneepads. But
not every biker can do what Gado does. Gado's beast form is of a Lion, king
of the road and king of the jungle...
*Xion
Gothic springs to mind... hmm, that Dante from Devil May Cry definately got
his influence here! They could be twings! Xion even morphs into a demonic
preying mantis! Capcom, shame on you!
*Busuzima
OK, they have to have a nutter in the mix. And you can't get nuttier than
Busuzima - he's nuttier than a fruitcake. His beast morph is that of a
chameleon, with a VERY LONG TONGUE! How rude!

Tongue Toss = qcf+X,X

*Alice
OK, Alice is my favourite character. Nicely balanced, smartly dressed (so
I say!) and above all manic. Yes, her Beast form is of a rabbit (I know!)
which would give any self-respecting child nightmares for weeks!
THROWS
Jack Knife = d+SQUARE+X
Air Raid = d,SQUARE+X (In mid-air)

+=+=+=+=+=+=+

*Yugo
My second fave character as I relate to him. A loner, making his way
through life, wild at heart and in spirit (Story of my life!). His beast
form is of a wolf. I wish I could do that bit! Moves list is uninspiring tho!
THROWS
Slip Down = SQUARE+X
Clinch = qcf+SQUARE+X
Critical Upper = qcf+SQUARE+X,SQUARE
Miss A Turn = qcf+SQUARE+X,f+X
SPECIALS
Meteoric Slash = qcf+CIRCLE,f+CIRCLE
Meteors Crashing = qcb+CIRCLE, (Off the wall) CIRCLE
*Kohryu
TO GET KOHRYU, get through the first four fights without using a continue.
The fifth opponent will be Kohryu. Beat him and he'll become a playable
character. He's a robotic mole, related to Bakuryu more than likely. Also
has all the same moves... I know, I know, I know...
THROWS
Reverse Revolution = d+SQUARE+X
SPECIALS
Blinding Shade = R1,d,d,SQUARE
Dragon Kick = f+SQUARE (while in the air)
Wind Fissure = f,f+X,X
Poison Pair = f,f+CIRCLE,u+CIRCLE
Empty Kick = d+CIRCLE (while in the air)
Surprise Blast = R1,d,d+CIRCLE
Opposition = f+CIRCLE (while in the air)
***back to opponent!***
Short Sword = d+SQUARE
Foothold = d+X
*Uranus
To unlock Uranus, the horny little beast of a boss, get to Xion and
defeat him without using any continues. After his defeat you'll move
onto a special bout with Uranus. Beat her and she'll become usable.
She has no moves other than the basic ones, but boy, SHE IS MEGA
TOUGH! We are talking unlimited beast drives here! OUCH! What is her
BEAST form? Urm... a demonic dog or something... whatever it is it's
a bit of a turn-off... I prefer the non-beast form (yummy!)
Short section of the extra game modes and how to get them.
SUDDEN DEATH SURVIVAL MODE
Unlocked by getting nine wins in Survival mode. One hit kills in
survival mode makes a very tough challenge.
NO GUARD MODE
Finish ARCADE mode with the default settings and rank first. No
guards or blocking... all out warfare!
EXTRA HARD MODE
Finish ARCADE without using any continues. Unless you're an idiot,
I hope you understand what this mode does!
BLAST OFF MODE
Unlock Sudden Death Survival Mode and win nine rounds in it. This
is purely a comedy mode, just have a laugh.
HYPER SPEED BATTLE
Use a character 100 times (eep!) and gain a rank in Survival mode.
Explains itself, mentally fast battles!
SNAILS PACE MODE
use a character ten times in any mode except practice and get a rank in
ARCADE mode. This makes battles SLOOOOOOOOOW!!!!
SUMO MODE
Use a character 20 times and get a rank in survival mode to get the
characters to look like they've had one too many pies!

7. MY TIPS TO BE A BLOODY ROAR 3 CHAMPION!
* Beast Drives are powerful, but use them only just before you go out
of Beast Mode. And unless it's an emergency, NEVER USE HYPER BEAST MODE!
* Blocking is your friend. Guards are your friend. It can leave an opponent
wide open to a counter attack, master doing this.
* Utilise throws. Lots. If an opponent is a bit too close for comfort then
use a throw to get them away from you.
* Learn short, simple combos. Long combos can be blocked, leaving you wide
open to counter attacks. Short bursts of hits are better than 20 at once.
* Vary your attacks. Sounds obvious, but the computer picks up on if you
continuously use the same attack method, and counters fast.
* And if all else fails, I hate to say it, button bash. I know we all hate
them! But they thrive in games like this, and some characters are made
with button bashers in mind! Uriko is the best, but so too is Long and
Shenlong, Alice and Busuzima!

8. FAQ
No questions as this is a new walkthrough. If you want to see it filled, send
in those questions. If you can't be bothered... well... at least take comfort
I'm waiting for your mail... (such a sad, lonely life!)
9. CONTACT ME!
OK, Stalkers do not read this section coz if you persue me I will have to resort to
nasty things like trojans to get rid of you... don't waste my time.
OK, my e-mail address is kamikazekintaro@aladdinscave.net - I have rules about mailing
me to help me filter the ton of mail I get daily!:-
*No flames. All flames get directed either to my deleted items folder or they
are posted in my forums for people to take the mickey out of!
*Don't say, "Sorry to waste your time but" or something similar to it. You are
not wasting my time. I enjoy getting your mail and I enjoy replying. It's fun!
If you need the help, I am always more than willing to give it.
*Please for gods sake don't abuse me. If I do not reply to your mail you either
flamed me and got ignored or it's been answered in the FAQ in this walkthrough!
Phrases like "You b*****d you never replied to me!" are generally put in my
forums and they are pointed and laughed at!
*Do not use my address to sign up to anything- you won't believe how many times
people have done that and it pisses me off to a point I can't describe. I will
report you to wherever you used my e-mail address and you will be removed!
*Finally, do NOT ever ever EVER use my address to spam my inbox with useless junk
I won't ever read. One, stealing e-mail addys like that is an offence! And two,
