I got the model for him and I must say, even on Novice he's freakin' hard with the ShinRyuu Shock Cannon enabled and the Species Stats on! Geez, even as him against him he's still very hard in Onslaught!!! Godlikes in Novice level is weird... he's more like an Inhuman level on Novice even. I'd hate to see his real Godlike state...

I have never heard of ShinRyuu, is he a bot you can fight against?

the name is oddly familiar...... entertain me by explaining

That's ShinRyuu. You have to enable Species Stats and the ShinRyuu + Shock Cannon muts, but then he becomes very powerful with that thing! He spawns with it automatically also, everytime. Also, he can fly around with SStats on. But that's limited to levels with Flying Pathnodes, thankfully.

And yes, he's a bot, and according to the bio, made by Izanagi Corporation to be the hardest to beat ever, and he is very hard, as I've even tried it where I had a team 5 Godlikes against him as a Novice and he beat them... Then I came in with a weapon that was too fast shooting and extremely good against anything (hint hint). I ran out of ammo killing just one, but that was when he was flying around and killing everyone. He got on multiple Killing Sprees against Godlikes!!!

In that case, I'm not going to try. . .
Did you try fighting him in a vehicle, by the way?

yeah if hes too much of a pain to fight on foot hit him with a truck

how did you get 5 on Godlike and him on Novice

You can do that with the bot roster I think, there is also a mutator that can set up more flexible botmatches. I can't remember the name of it though.

Wup had that skin it can fly and stuff its sweet but he took it off.

Yeah, vehicles are even worse against him for me at least.
To get different level bots at the same time, get the BotManager 6.1 mutator and then add the Godlikes to the level, or just him as the Novice. I dunno, it seems to me he's just really good on my UT. God, my Miko can't even touch him with all the BW weapons! He's a very good sniper even when flying BTW.

lol,
yeh thats true.

Okay, 5Godlikes and Me against him (novice) with only Species Stats where he still can fly but he is the only one who spawns with the ShinRyuu Shock Cannon... He got to Dominating and was one kill away from making that a higher killing spree before finally Chiala killed him at point blank with a sidearm (all she had at the time, and I was distracting ShinRyuu at the time by flying around and shooting him with no accuracy with the ShinRyuu Cannon also (I used ShinRyuu at the time for myself...)

The raptor is damn fast and shoots pretty powerful projectiles.
Same for the manta. Too bad their health is limited.

ShinRyuu moves a little faster than the Manta FYI. It was said in the Readme and by what I could tell, I was moving faster than the Manta.

....i wonder how he matches against a leviathan...

Hmm, never tried. I just HAVE to do that! With all 5 slots used too!

I fought the dragon a while ago on some giant xmas sniper map. 3 or 4 team godlike match. He had his shock cannon and species stats enabled, and totally a******d me and all the bots. It was like fighting a pro, usually the first & last thing I saw was his killer shockbeam.

Yeah, he's basically the ultimate training opponent for those pros probably.

It's funny how a Novice gets on a Dominating spree against 5 Godlikes and me, but he did that... again...

Edit: He got 28 in a row before I figured the trick to kill him.

Use the G5 and get a target lock on him before he kills you. As soon as you fire a targeted missile, he's dead meat most of the time, he'll never dodge the G5 even with his speed.

Would you believe that I've never played with species stats on? Does it add a lot to the game play?

Not really, but it does make certain species jump and run higher and faster. And with ShinRyuu, a LOT faster and can then fly around and have his Shock Cannon. If you use the one with the SC at the end of the name that is. It's fun to play with SStats.

I liked the UT2003 species stats mut better, you could configure it.

Then I wonder... is there a mut that can be downloaded to do that same type of configing with 2k4?

That may very well be, but I don't know of any myself...

Here you go.

This is a customizable Species stat mutator.

Thanks for saving the day, yet again Xav!
