Opening Thingy (and copyright bulls***) [intro]
-----------------------------
Ahhh, I love the smell of Japanese rag-dolls beating the living
snot out of each other. What, you don't? Well then, you'll
have to read my guide and beat Rag-Doll Kung Fu: Fists of
Plastic for the PS3. Sound easy? Well... yeah, it is. But, you
will need my help for beating challenges, pwning friends in
multiplayer, and getting to know the Sixaxis controls a bit
better.

-----------------------------
Characters [carac]
-----------------------------
In this section, all of the teachers are named and their backrounds are
explained.
{Hero)
Yeah, I know. What a generic name. He's the street punk with the black
hair
who is training to become a kung fu master. More generic-ness. Awesome.
{Master Tang}
Probably the most important teacher in RDKF:FoP, Tang is described as a
loner. He is a great figure in the kung fu community, but people avoid him
because he smells like fish (hmmm, maybe it's because he has fish bulging
out of his pockets? Probably not). He says he keeps them with him because
he gains chi from them (I say it's bull, but you believe what you want).
{Luan}
Not much is said about Luan, only that she has a gang. That's all. Really.
There is no surprise here. Move on.
{Hip}
Hip is my favorite character. He owns the Whale Restaurant, one of the
multiplayer maps. Also, he is very rough. The game says when he plays
cards, people lose fingers. Wow.
{Sung Ling}
This traditional Chinese chicka is an acrobatic master. She hangs out in
the Nin Bin, the ninja hideout.
{Bedlam}
To put it simply, Bedlam is f***ing nuts. He is the master of the Lion
Temple, which is a great honor. I think. He is also described as crazy.
In multiplayer, go against him in Deathmatch with his difficulty cranked to
the highest level. Then, repeat the first sentence of this paragraph. Then
you will understand.
{Master Sin}
He was an ordinary ninja, until Master Tang pushed him off a mountain
(that... punk!). He lost an eye and his watch from that fall. He is tough
as nails. Also, he will periodically ask for the time.

Challenges [chlng]
-----------------------------
1. Tutorial
2. Survival
3. Sharpshooter
4. Capture the Fish
5. Acrobatics
6. King of the Hill
7. Way of the Firefly
8. Cleaning Up
9. Kung Fu Juggling
{TUTORIAL}
!Objective!-learn how to play Fists of Plastic
This challenge is run by Master Tang.
The tutorial will tutor you on the rails of the game. Duh.
This challenge is pretty straight-forward. The first thing to do is to
break the targets. Use the Square and Triangle buttons to punch and kick
the targets.
Next, throw the pots at the master-dude-guy-thing. Pick them up with the R1
button and throw with the Square button.
After that, destroy the targets with the staff. Again, pick it up with the
R1 button. Then, swing the Right stick to swing the staff.
Next up is to throw Tang around twice. Pick him up with the R1 button, and
throw him with the Square button.
Now the Chi element will come into play. By beating Tang into a pulp (haha,
corny joke, haha, ahem), you will gain Chi. Chi is energy that is used to
create devastating attacks.
Next, grab the statue and noodles with the R1 button to gain Chi and heal
yourself, respectively.
The best Chi move, in my opinion, is to Meditate. Meditating replaces Chi
with health. In other words, you can heal yourself by depleting Chi. Turn
the controller in your hand upside down to Meditate.
Next up is the Lightning Ball. This attack can be charged to do more damage
and widen the blast radius. To conjure up a Lightning Ball, shake the
controller up and down. Once charged to your satisfaction, throw it with
the Square button.
This is a move you should be using pretty often: the Firefly. This will
send you flying in the direction you punch or kick, making you a rag-doll
projectile. Swing the controller in the direction you are attacking to use
the Firefly.
The last Chi move is the Slam, which you will be using pretty often in King
of the Hill. This attack will make your character slam the ground, making a
Chi shockwave. To Slam, hold the O button, then bring your controller up,
and bring it down fast.
Finally, you will learn how to platform swing. To hang on to a platform,
press (or hold if you are falling to it from above) the R1 button when near
it. To swing, press the Triangle button in the direction you want to swing.
Press the X button to jump off.
Congrats! You now know how to play Rag-Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic.
(whoop-de-freakin'-do)
{SURVIVAL}
!Objective!-defeat as many opponents as possible before time runs out
This challenge is run by Luan.
This is your first real "challenge", so it's very easy. Simply just beat up
the henchmen that come at you. You get points for every guy defeated.
The challenge ends when time runs out, or you die. If this is your first
time doing this challenge, be ready. This is practice for Deathmatch.
Occasionally, Luan herself will show up to fight you. She is a bit tougher
than her henchmen, but not too much of a bother.
The henchmen will get stronger and harder as time becomes less. Be careful.
This is actually a fairly difficult challenge, so don't worry if you fail.
Just try, try again.
{SHARPSHOOTER}
!Objective!-destroy the targets with the shuriken
This challenge is run by Master Tang.
This is the second easiest challenge. All you have to do is throw shuriken
at the targets. Aim with the Right stick and throw with the Square button.
The targets will start to crash into and destroy each other. You have to
hit them before they crash, or they're gone for good.
Don't think this challenge is hard. Just concentrate and it should be a
breeze.
{CAPTURE THE FISH}
!Objective!-score as many goals as possible within the time limit
This challenge is run by Hip.
This is a challenge made to prep you for the multiplayer mode Capture the
Fish. It's pretty much a game of Capture the Fish against Hip and his
henchmen.
This challenge is not very hard, but it isn't very easy either. Hip will
summon henchmen occasionally to make your life hell. See the Multiplayer
section of the guide for more info on Capture the Fish.
{ACROBATICS}
!Objective!-swing from platform to platform to gain as may points as
possible before time runs out
This challenge is run by Sung Ling.
This is the easiest challenge in the game (tutorial doesn't count because
it's too easy). Just swing from platform to platform.
To get some extra boost in your swing, press the Triangle button to swing
kick.
If you touch the ground, the combo meter goes back to zero. Stay in the
air!
This is an easy challenge as long as you pay attention. My first time, I
didn't pay attention. Now, I have to live down that I didn't even get a
bronze ranking. Don't be like me; PAY ATTENTION!!!
{KKING OF THE HILL}
!Objective!-obtain as many points as possible within the time limit
This challenge is run by Mr. Crazy McCuckoo, I mean Bedlam.
This challenge is really prep for the multiplayer mode King of the Hill.
Bedlam will teach you the basics, and then he'll let you off your leash.
This is my favorite mode, since it is the only mode where Free Pose comes in
handy. When you're on the "hill", using Free Pose will net you more points.
The henchmen are fairly easy, but when Bedlam comes in, use a level 5
Lightning Ball on him. It will save you lots of trouble, trust me.
Use the Slam move often. It will knock people off the "hill", giving you
more time to Free Pose for points.
This is one of the more difficult challenges, so stay on your toes.
{Way of the Firefly}
!Objective!-destroy as many targets as possible before time runs out
This challenge is run by Master Tang.
Way of the Firefly is my favorite challenge. In this challenge, you must
smash targets with the Firefly... while STAYING AIRBORNE!
This challenge is loads of fun, but tough as s***. My arms got tired after
playing this mode, like, 50 times. Constantly swinging the controller is
recommended.
This is a difficult, yet fun, challenge. Just remember: if you get close to
the ground, Firefly upwards.
{CLEANING UP}
!Objective!-defeat as many opponents as possible before time runs out
This challenge is run by Master Sin.
This is just a more difficult version of Survival. The main difference is
that you can pick people up and throw them off the cliff for an instant
kill! Yeeeeeeeeee-hawwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!
.....................
Sorry.
The enemies are also slightly tougher than the ones in Survival.
The one tip I can give is if you're falling off the cliff, you can save
yourself by using the Firefly to propel yourself upwards. It just might
save your ass!
Just keep your eyes open and fight like a tiger. Just don't eat anybody. I
don't want to be called by the NYPD and arrested because some rag-doll that
read my guide ate his opponent.
{KUNG FU JUGGLING}
!Objective!-score as many hits as possible in the air before time expires
This challenge is run by Master Tang (seriously, I've had enough of this
guy).
Easily the most difficult challenge in the game, this one makes you throw a
frog in the air a beat it up, in the air. That's right. Only hits in the
air count, so you have to keep that frog airborne as long as possible.
Using the Firefly won't net you any points, but it will keep the frog in the
air. Use it in emergencies.
The air kicks will send the frog upwards, so use them often. The Lightning
Ball also works.
This is very, very difficult, so failing is not a big deal. Just keep
trying, and you'll get it.
CONGRADULATIONS! You have beaten Rag-Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic! If
you got at least Bronze on all of the challenges, you get the Rag-doll
Apprentice trophy. If you got at least Silver on all the challenges, you
get the Rag-doll Expert trophy. If you got at least Gold on all of them,
you get the Rag-doll Master trophy. If you beat all of the challenges with
a Fists of Plastic rating, instead of a trophy, you will get a Mark Healy
Bald Head for your fighter. If you obtain every reward, you will get the
ultimate prize: a Sackboy costume (from LittleBIGPlanet). Huzzah, and
whatnot.
-----------------------------
Multiplayer [mltip]
-----------------------------
RDKF:FoP has a multiplayer aspect to it. This consists of Deathmatch,
Capture the Fish, Dodgeball, and King of the Hill.
{DEATHMATCH}
The goal of Deathmatch is to kill your opponent as many times as possible
before time expires. This is the regular mode included in almost every
multiplayer video game. This mode tests mostly fight ability, so be ready
for a rumble.
NOTE: You can turn Deathmatch into Team Deathmatch by picking which players
to wear a blue or red hat.
{CAPTURE THE FISH}
The goal of Capture the Fish is to throw a fish into a basket for points.
It's pretty much basketball with some nutty rag-doll physics thrown in.
It's very fun.
{DODGEBALL}
The goal of Dodgeball is to throw the ball given at the other team. This
mode tests aim, so have a steady hand when playing.
{KING OF THE HILL}
The goal of King of the Hill is to stay on the glowing platform (labeled the
"hill") as long as possible to gain points. Free Posing can help you
accumulate points faster. This mode tests... well... everything. Be ready
to fight like Mike Tyson.
Maps are coming soon, so stay put:).

Frequently Asked Questions (?????)
-----------------------------
Q: Should I buy this game?
A: Depends. If you like side-scrolling beat-em-ups, then be my guest. If
not, then skip it if you want. I can't make you buy it or not.
Q: I found something wrong with your guide. What should I do?
A: If it's a huge, OMG, holy s*** problem, then e-mail me and tell me the
problem. If it's a small spelling error, leave it. If it's that small,
most people won't be affected by it.
Q: Can I put your guide on my site?
A: If you ask me first and give me credit, then probably yes.
Q: Will you accept my PS3 friend request?
A: Probably. I separated from my PS3's head account to make Chillaxative7,
so I don't have many friends. So, send me a request... now.
Q: What was your strategy for (name of challenge)?
A: If I get asked this question again, I will drop-kick a puppy over an
electric
fence. And miss. LOOK IN THE FRIKKING GUIDE! I didn't make this so you
could
not look at it and ask me questions.
Q: Can I spam your account with chain PS3 messages?
A: No.
Q: Are you a handsome person?
A: Yes.
