Giygas

Giygas is the main antagonist in Mother and Earthbound. He is an evil alien who intends to sentence all of reality to the horror of infinite darkness. In MUGEN he serves as a boss character to fight against and uses very unique styled attacks based of the Earthbound games. There are currently two versions of Giygas avaible for MUGEN, one made by The_None and another by fhqwhgads7.

fhqwhgads7 Giygas
(Important Notice: This character move "Rockin Omega" can cause seizures, fight at your own risk)

fhqwhgads7 Giygas was the very first one avaiable to MUGEN. He is a challanging boss character to most opponents and can easily defeat some of the strongest opponents if they do not get the technique right. There are two battle styles for this Giygas, one only avaible for Arcade mode and the other for the rest.

Arcade Mode
When in Arcade mode and you come against this Giygas, you come to a boss story-like battle which includes battling though three different stages.

First Stage

After your character intro finished, Porky (a charcacter from Earthbound) will appear and talk to the player; he will mention about Giygas being unable to think rationally anymore due to his mind being destroyed by his own power. He also mentions that you are another meal to Giygas and leaves you to battle him. When fighting Giygas the entire stage repersents him, in order to defeat him you have to enouth damage to K.O. him, this can be hard due to him having a high health and that you carn't see both the power and health bar to see how far you have to go.



Second Stage

When you defeat the first stage of the battle, Porky will re-appear but this time will start to mock you, he will try to make you scared about the events that are about to happen durring the remaining stages and then afterwards the next round will start with Giygas in his second form. This time however, you must not attack Giygas, instead you have to defend his attacks and remained crouched so that the screen fades out for a short period of time, eventually you will change into the final stage...

Third Stage

When the screen fades away and the background changes, you will be in the third and final stage. In this stage you will still have to use the technique from the last stage. When you crouch long enouth and the screen fades away a certain number of times you will get a message, this indicates that you have nearly defeated Giygas. Keep crouching for and defending until the second message appears which indicates when Giygas can become F1 killed. The player must press this button in order to win the match or else you will be in and endless game untill you lose all your health

Other Modes
When you play or battle against Giygas is in any other mode (eg, vs mode, training, etc...) you will be restricted to battle as Giygas first form. Also comparing to Arcade mode battle is that you can see his health bar. From what we see he can automatically charge his power bar and health bar over time. Also all his attacks cost power however the charge rate should be enouth to overpower this.

Playing as Giygas
When this Giygas is downloaded, he will already be set for story mode making him uncontrollable by the player, in order for him to become controllabe you will have to turn this mode off via Giygas configurate settings. When off, you will now be able to use al of his moves. The list below shows all the possible moves available.

PK Fire Beta  - Quarter circle forward, C (requires 100 power)



PK Fire Gamma  - Quarter circle back, A+B (requires 1000 power)



PK Freeze - Forward, Down, Down-forward, C (requires 1000 power)



PK Thunder  - (Quarter circle forward)*2, X+Y (requires 1000 power)

PK Flash  - (Quarter circle back)*2, X+Y (requires 1000 power)



Starstorm  - Half circle forward, Back (requires 3000 power)



Rockin Omega  - Half circle back, Forward (requires 3000 power)



The_None Giygas
The_None's version of Giygas was the second version of Giygas available for MUGEN. Compared to fhqwhgads7 Giygas, they are two completly different characters. For starters the fighting style is completly different and has a more straight forward battle than the story mode Giygas fhqwhgads7 made.

Gameplay
When you enter the stage of your choice, the first thing you will notice is that on the left hand corner of the screen is a custom lifebar repersenting the players health and power bar, however Giygas bar isn't shown meaning it is unknown to see your progress until a K.O. is achived. When battling The_None's Giygas, there are two stages when against him.

First Stage

When you start a giant metalic capsule will fall from the sky onto the ground, this is where Giygas is stored in; when the round starts, the capsule will open and Giygas will be released to attack the player. Giygas has many type of attacks that can deal quite alot of damage, some of Giygas main attacks include a section of darkness which if the player enters will cause Giygas to take a big bite on the player. Other attacks include a headcrab from the Half-Life series attacking the player then and again, shadow hands that either grab the player into the darkness and cause Giygas to bite the player, one that will punch the player if not quick enouth to avoid and one hand that slowly attacks the player. Another of Giygas attacks includes shooting a cube that does a random move similar to the moves from fhqwhgads7 Giygas but less powerfull, as well as this one move includes shooting a transparent retangle from random parts of the screen scrolling from one side to the other.

One other feature that the player must avoid when attacking The_None Giygas is his death trap mini-games. These mini-games would place the player in a life threatning scenarios where if they did not act quick enouth they would lose all there health and die in a gory fashion. One death trap included falling to your death to a mincer like device, the only way to save your self is to press three command buttons correctly. The other type of death trap involves being in a glass chamber where if you don't escape quick enouth you would explode, the only way to escape is to press left and right as quickly as possible untill the bar fills up.

Second Stage

The second stage of the battle is very similar to the first stage, the main differences however is that the background of the stage will start to change similar to the third stage of fhqwhgads7 Giygas. As well as this, his attack rate increases and occationaly the screen will start to fuzz similar to TV static making it harder to see the stage and Giygas attacks. When Giygas is finally defeated the screen will completly fuzz out until the screen turns off similar to turning off a TV screen.
