    - All robots' English titles. (Example: "Dimensional
      Crusader" BOLON.)
    - Common and robot-specific strategies.
    - Complete voice actor list.

    Note: Julio A Quicios (who wrote another Kikaioh/Tech
    Romancer FAQ) and I agreed to share data between our
    FAQs, but we shall keep our FAQs separate.

    1.0  Abbreviations

f         Move fowards.
f,f       Move forwards quickly.
b         Move backwards.
b,b       Move backwards quickly.
u         Move into background, away from players.
d         Move into foreground, towards players.
G         Guard button.
A         A button.
B         B button.
J         Jump button.
[X]       Hold X (button or stick).
X+Y       Tap X and Y together.
(enemy down)        Defender is knocked down.
(mid-air)           Attacker is in mid-air.
(while f,f)         Attacker is moving forwards quickly.
(while jumping)     Attacker is jumping.
#         Japanese words that I can't translate into
         English. (-_-;) I'll check the dictionaries later.

    Similar to the abbreviations used in Soul Calibur
(Namco, 1998) command lists, because I'm co-writing a Soul
Calibur Sophitia/Lizardman FAQ.

    2.0  Common Command List

G         Guard.
A         A attack. More damage.
B         B attack. Less range.
A+B       Hissatsu waza.
Start     Choose Item.
A+B+J     Use Item. (See below.)
G+A       Dodge and attack, close range.
G+B       Dodge and attack, medium range.
G+A+B     Power Breaker (Guard Break), staggers enemy.
G+A+B+J   Final Attack (Chou hissatsu waza), when enemy's
         damage gauge is >50%. One shot per stage.
         Blockable.
[G]+f,f   Steel Dash, staggers enemy.

    In the early stages, when two robots simultaneously
attack, some attacks may have priority. Example: Beam
attacks defeat missile attacks. If the robots use the same
type of attacks, the player who taps more times wins.
    An attack labelled "Warning" has slow execution time,
but staggers a guarding enemy. When the enemy is staggered,
a fast attack will probably hit the enemy.

    GRAPPLE ATTACK

G    Defeats A, but loses to B.
A    Defeats B, but loses to G or J.
B    Defeats G or J, but loses to A.
J    Defeats A, but loses to B.

    If both player taps the same buttons, the player who
taps more times wins.

    ITEMS

    Armour Repair Unit: Repairs 100% of Armour System.
    Damage Repair Unit: Repairs about 20% of Damage Gauge.
Doesn't affect Final Attacks.
    Defense Unit: 2 x normal defense.
    Hero Mode Unit: Activates Hero Mode.
    Offense Unit: 1.5 x normal damage.
    Special Charge Unit: Restores one level of Special
Gauge.
    Special Weapon Unit Blue: Activates Special Weapon
Blue.
    Special Weapon Unit Red: Activates Special Weapon Red.
Has 1 to 5 shots. Probably damages the enemy's Armour System.
    Special Weapon Unit Yellow: Activates Special Weapon
Yellow.
    Speed Up Unit: Increases movement rate. Doesn't affect
jumping.
