God Hand/Characters: Difference between revisions

The player character of ''God Hand'', he's a 23-year-old smartass drifter who really likes beating people up. He firmly believes that he has a "macho" exterior and a strong sense of justice. When he witnesses a young woman being attacked by a gang of demons, he tries to be the Big Damn Hero and save the woman (who was carrying a large box). Things don't go quite as planned, and Gene ends up with his own right arm being hacked off. Olivia (the woman he saved), patches him up by giving him the legendary God Hand to replace his missing arm. With this new arm, Gene is now capable of fighting off the demonic menace... but he is now forced to kill Angra, the ruler of the demons. Because if Gene doesn't do it, Olivia will cut his arm off with a hatchet!

* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Gene gets the other God Hand by the end of the game.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[SNK Boss]]: Double God Hand Gene in the 51st arena match.}}.

This young lady is actually one of last surviving members of the clan that has guarded the God Hands for centuries. She had barely escaped from the execution of said clan, entrusted with one of the God Hands by her father. She is saved by Gene when she's attacked by Bruce and Felix, and gives Gene the God Hand as a gift of "thanks"—because... because she now has someone to order around and stop the demons from overthrowing humanity. But if Gene has the right God Hand, where is the left one?

* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: Averted and defied. Gene never fights Belze's human form, and it is pointed out that he has a horrible taste in suits.

* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|Big Creepy Crawly]]: {{spoiler|His demon form is basically a giant fly and shares many similarities with Beelzebub, the demonic "Lord of the Flies" in Judeo-Christian Lore. Even his name is remarkably similar.}}.

* [[The Stoic]] / {{spoiler|[[Not So Stoic]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]: After loosing to Gene and getting possessed by Angra, he starts freaking out.}}.

* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: {{spoiler|He kills Bruce, Felix, and Conchita after failing to kill Gene a second time.}}.

Shannon is the only female member of the Four Devas who knows exactly what she wants. She doesn't care about the revival of Angra—onlyAngra... only seeking pleasures, partying and her own fancies at any cost. She owns several poison chihuahuas and very much would like to make Gene into her "pet". Elvis has a big crush on her. Gene just thinks she's an insane nympho.

'''Gene:''' Ah yes, another satisfied customer. }}

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Averted. She is not a genius, but she isn't dumb.

* [[Looks Like She Is Enjoying It]] / [[Combat Sadomasochist]]: Sometimes when hitting her, she shouts "'''HARDER!'''".

==== Angra / SATAN ====

A Fallen Angel, cast down into hell for his pride. The lord of all demons, Angra, filled with anger and hatred, raised an army of spirits and demons in a bid to take over the world of humans. Angra ''would'' have succeeded,; however, a mysterious man with no name appeared and his arms were blessed with the holy power of god. He fought and defeated the demon army, before finally beating the crap out of and sealing Angra away, sending him back down to whence he came. The people he had saved, grateful for this brave savior, gave him the name of "God Hand". The man's arms, the God Hands, were then given to a clan that would protect them from evil, should they be needed again. In the present day, the Four Devas are working to revive Angra, and possibly capture the God Hands to ensure that nothing interferes.

* [[Background Boss]]: A rare 3D variant. He's too huge too fit on the platform you fight on, instead hovering around the edge, so you can only attack his face, or his hands if he misses punching you. It's almost like fighting Giant Baby Bowser from ''[[Yoshi's Island]]''.

* {{spoiler|[[Hijacked by Ganon]]: Hid in Azel's left arm which acts as a catalysis to invade the human realm.}}.

* [[Mook Maker]]: He can summon demons from his mouth, but don't worry,: by this point, you're super powerful, and they only take a few hits.

A trio of demons serving the Four Devas, they are comprised of Felix (the horned brute), Bruce (thin guy in green), and Conchita (Sheshe whips it good). Felix is the one who severed Gene's arm. Once Gene gains the God Hand, he believes a little payback is in order.

* {{spoiler|[[It's Personal]]: Some time in the past, Bruce and Felix were harassing Olivia. Gene, pre-God Hand, tried to step, only to get his arm cut-off.}}.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: {{spoiler|As above, Felix and Bruce as responsible for making Gene the God Hand.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me...]]: Azel kills Bruce, Felix, and Conchita after failing to kill Gene a second time.}}.

** {{spoiler|Although it's unclear if it's this trope, or if Azel just killed them because they were in his way.}}.

Gene runs into these.... ''flamboyant'' twins early in Stage One. They apparently work for Elvis and will make passes at Gene during their battle.

* [[Combination Attack]]: They have two. The first where one will hang from the other's shoulders, and they spin uncontrollably around the arena. The other is an unblockable grab where one of them will throw Gene back, and the other will spike him into onto the floor.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: They show up twice. The second time they have a few upgrades... which barely helps them at all, considering that Gene has also been getting stronger.

A gorilla in a luchador suit. {{spoiler|The gorilla bit is also a costume.}}.

* [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie]]: He's a Luchador Gorilla. {{spoiler|Examining him after the fight reveals a zipper on the back, indicating there is at least one more layer;, and then consider that demons in this game typically disguise themselves as humans}}...}}

A clunky old robot with a pet bird and the 5th(?) Deva. Usually is plugged into a charger, but later upgrades to... a back-mounted Battery!
