Frogman

Frogmen (水 (すい) 中 (ちゅう) 兵 (へい) , Suichuu hei) are a type of enemy in the Time Crisis series. They debut in Time Crisis II and reappear in Time Crisis 3 with some changes.

Appearance

In Time Crisis II, the Frogmen wear black diving suits with sleek white aerodynamic helmets with piercing red visor goggles. They wear sturdy turquoise vests that have water jets attached on their backs. Their weapon is a gauntlet with a melee blade on both arms.

In Time Crisis 3, the Frogmen wear blue-grey colored diving suits, equipped with water jets attached on their backs, and are armed with a gauntlet with a melee blade on both arms. Those in the the first stage of the "Rescue Mission" are also equipped with night vision goggles.

Overview

The Frogmen are a common enemy that fight near rivers and coastal areas. In Time Crisis II, there are 6 of them and will fight alongside with the boss in Stage 1 Area 3. They are seen diving underneath before attacking from the sides. In Time Crisis 3, there are 14 of them and only appear in Stage 2 Area 2. In Stage 1 of the "Rescue Mission" of Time Crisis 3, Alicia Winston will come across 7 Frogmen at Marano Beach and those are equipped with night vision goggles.

Scoring

In Time Crisis II, scoring for kill and chase shots is the same as those on "Normal" class soldiers. In Time Crisis 3, they each require 3 shots to kill with the handgun and the final shot registers as 2 hits. The first hit from the final shot is worth 100 points and the second hit from the same shot is dependent on the chase shot. Points earned from head and limb shots are the same as those from Time Crisis II, but progression for kill and chase shots on the torso is shown on the below table. Note that the values in the below two tables are for points from first individual hits and do not include combos or no-miss bonuses.
