BE SURE TO READ THIS FIRST PART! You can read this faq as long as you
don't change ANY part of it (including this small introduction). Also,
you can print it but only for use at your home, you may NEVER sell
this stuff or else you will make me really mad and maybe I won't work
anymore! Finally, if you want to use this faq on your site you have to
mail me and ask me for it, I will almost surely grant it to you! =)
Now, about this game...
At first look it may seem a great game, but at the end it is the worst
Tsubasa game I’ve ever played! Although you can watch a cool intro, like
Tsubasa against Hyuga for a Head Shot, when you get to the real game it
looks completely messed up, for example, you can only see your opponents
when they get near you or, most of the time, after loosing the ball to
their tackles. The only good thing are some occasional manga graphics.
If you are having problems playing it, stop playing (...) or keep reading.
I don't believe there's much more to be said...

1.1 Story of Captain Tsubasa
This manga talks about a boy who enjoys playing soccer more than anything in
his life. The story starts when he moves into a new city, where he meets
Ishizaki and the great goalkeeper Genzo Wakabayashi from the Shutetsu school,
the champion of Japan. After a individual confrontation between them, Tsubasa
meets Roberto Hongo, which will be his coach, and we assist to the great game
"Nankatsu vs. Shutetsu". In the middle of the game Taro Misaki arrives and he
will form the "Golden Combination" with Tsubasa, ending the game by 2-2.
Together they will play on a new team, Nankatsu (yeah, the same name but a
different team) and come up to the national championship, where they start by
losing against Meiwa (with Kojiro Hyuga and Takeshi Sawada in it) by 6-7, they
win to Tachibana Twins’ Hanawa (those two had a really strange but original way
of playing) by 3-2, to Nakanishi’s Naniwa by 5-1 and to Jun Misugi’s Mushashi
(he was really good, but had heart problems) by 5-4. So, the finals will be...
"Nankatsu vs. Meiwa" (again!), but this time it will be even more interesting
since both team have new goalkeepers, as Ken Wakashimazu for Meiwa and
Wakabayashi for Nankatsu (he was hurt, so he hadn’t play up to now; this will
be his last game, since he is going to Germany to became a professional
player), finishing this very long game by 4-2, Nankatsu winning. I shall
mention Nankatsu’s first goal, in which Misaki (this was his last game too,
since his father was going to move to another place) and Tsubasa shoot at the
same time, using an impressive technique that will be called "Twin Shot".
The story continues 2 years from that championship, during this time Tsubasa
won two other times the national championship and tries to win a third time,
feat never achieved by anyone else. After playing against Azuma-ichi, a team in
which a really rough player named Sõda plays (he damages Tsubasa), they play
against some old pals, like Hanawa (Tachibana twins used a new technique called
Skylab) and Tsubasa finally master a shot that will be his special, the Drive
Shot, against the giant Hiroshi Jito, who played for Hirado. On the finals they
play against Toho, a team from Tokyo in which Hyuga, Wakashimazu and Takeshi
now play. Well... sort of, the coach didn’t want Hyuga to play but he did it
after all, using his special, Tiger Shot. After another long game, it finishes
in a tie (4-4), being both teams called winner (in this national tournament
there aren’t any penalty kicks in the end of the games)...
Now the best players will go into the national team in order to play in an
international tournament in France. After some preparation matches, one of
which against Wakabayashi and Karl Heinz Schneider (the "Kaiser" of European
Soccer, both playing for Hamburg SV), they win to Italy and their "Perfect
Keeper" Gino Hernandez by 2-1 and to Argentina (with "soccer prodigy" Diaz and
his friend Pascual, Diaz was surely impressive but Japan's team work made them
win). After wining to France in the penalty kicks (5-4), they will finally play
to Germany, which includes Schneider (the "Kaiser"), Kartz, Magas (or Margus, I
prefer using the first one since it sounds me better), Schester and Dutter
Muller (a giant keeper), and they win by 3-2. Tsubasa goes to Brazil, to play
for San Paulo FC with his old coach from the times of early Nankatsu, Roberto
Hongõ. And this is where the first set of manga’s finish, after 37 chapters...
1.2 Story of Captain Tsubasa World Youth
This set of 18 chapters starts with the presentation of a new japanese
character named Aoi Shingo, who becomes a fan of Tsubasa after his team being
beaten by Nankatsu (Tsubasa's old team in Japan), so he goes to Italy in order
to be a better player. After much trouble, he gets to join Inter Milan, whose
goalkeeper is Gino Hernandez, who becomes Shingo's friend. Then, we get to see
the brazillian championship's final, Tsubasa against the brazillian prodigy,
Carlos Santana, who (like Tsubasa) is also able to learn some of the opponent's
techniques. At the same time, a plot from Gamo (a coach that now appears) is
unveiled... He made a team of seven players (Real Japan 7, if you are
wondering) that would confront the japanese nation team (split in 3 groups of 7
players), and if those last ones lost, 7 players would be thrown out of the
team. Sadly, they lost, so Hyuga, Misaki, Jitõ, Sõda, Nitta, Masao and Kazuo
Tachibana are thrown out of the team and Wakashimazu also leaves the team (he
says he doesn't want to be just a replacement for Wakabayashi), making harder
to Japan getting a win in the coming event, Asian Cup. With the help of Tsubasa
(that came back from Brazil) they manage to win the first two matches, but they
have a hard time against Thailand, since the 3 Konsawatto brothers are really
good at aerial soccer and Shinpurasu Bunnark (a tough defender who uses his
Muay-Thai skills in the field) can hurt Tsubasa, making him not able to attack.
Luckly, Wakabayashi arrives when the score was 4-1, and although he can't catch
any balls (he had both hands broken, due to shots of Levin and Cruyfford) he
manages to stop all of the opponent's shots, Shingo also appears and his
combinated moves with Tsubasa make Japan being able to win this match by 5-4.
During that time, the 7 players that were thrown out were training hard in
order to get new techniques, so Hyuga manages to develop one of the best shots
ever seen, the Rayju (if you are wondering, it is a thunder related beast from
japanese mythology) Shot. Due to those new techniques those players can (this
time) defeat R.J.7 and enter the national team in order to play in the Asian
Cup. They beat teams like Saudi Arabia (from whose captain, the prince Mark
Owaiaran, appears to be one of the best defenders ever), China (with a player
named Shõ that is able to counter most shots with his "Dragon Counter Shot")
and South Korea. By doing so, they get to join the World Cup (for players less
than 20 years old)... They start by playing against Mexico, whose great
goalkeeper, Ricardo Espadas, was able to stop Hyuga's Rayju Shoot, but despite
the difficulties they manage to beat them by 2-1. Against Uruguay, they have
another hard match, mainly because Ryoma Hino (the "Japanese Bomber", one of
R.J.7's players, who had double nationality) is also playing and his Tornado
Shot is great, finally they beat it by 6-5. Against Italy they have an easy
match since both Hernandez and Salvatore Gentile ("European Libero One") were
hurt due to Hino's Tornado Shot, and they win 4-0. On the quarters of final
they get to play against Sweden, who had great players like Larrson,
Fredericks, Brolin (a good defender who manages to stop Hyuga's Rayju Shot) and
Levin (yep, the same player who had injured Wakabayashi), but due to the
appearence of the impressive defender Akai Tomeiya (replacing Matsuyama, his
mate Fujisawa was in the hospital), who stops every of Levin's Levin Shot
(yeah, he has a technique with his name ^_^ ) they win 1-0. In the Half Finals
they get to play against Holland, their captain Brian Cruyfford (the other
player that injured Wakabayashi) was playing but UNFORTUNATELY we don't get to
see the match, for some "not interesting" reason, we only know that they won
1-0. Finally, they get to the World Cup's finals and they will be playing
against....... Brazil, whose coach is Roberto Hongo (Tsubasa's old coach at
Japan and Brazil), who says that Tsubasa wouldn't be able to win this time.
After a first half time in which Brazil was surely better than Japan, Santana
is able to score a goal to Wakabayashi. Japan counter with a great Twin
Overhead Shot by Tsubasa and Misaki's Golden Combination and even score another
goal with Seiki Rayju Shot (in which Rayju is used as a pass and Tsubasa and
Misaki shoot with a Twin Shot). When the match was almost over, Roberto uses
his secret player named Naturezza, who is even able to score a goal to
Wakabayashi FROM OUTSIDE THE GOAL AREA (!), making a tie. On the extra time the
hard match continues, but at the end Tsubasa finishes by surpassing the great
player Naturezza and scores a goal, making Japan win the World Cup (for player
that have less than 20 years old). We also get to know that Sanae and Tsubasa
get married and this last one goes to play for Barcelona, a spanish team, and
all the other players join other teams, mainly those of J-League, but some
(like Hyuga, who will play for Juventus) continue to play in their teams, like
Akai Tomeiya... And that's how those chapters of the manga finish.

1.10 Players' data
All the data in this section was taken from the amazing book "Captain Tsubasa
3109 days perfect data", by Yoichi Takahashi. I didn't just made it up or
something like that, all this was translated directly from the book, hope you
like it! ;) I'll only be referring the data that is given, so don't think I'll
cover EVERY player... The data is formatted like this:
Player Name
Country: his country
Position: his position
Technique: his technique, from 1 to 5
Speed: his speed, from 1 to 5

Imagination: his imagination, from 1 to 5
Tactics: his tatic skills, from 1 to 5
Teams: the teams he played for (not including national teams)
If it has less data than that, it means that the info isn't given about that

which i WON'T SURELY ADD).

cover the data from that book, so I may not talk about every team or every
player... Also, my translation may not be very good, sorry about that, my kanji
skills are not very good... The data is formatted like this:

GK. players of that team,
2. only for the ones that
3. appear reffered in the
12. book
In order to win to the Tachibana Twins just try to keep them away from
your goalkeeper or they will score using their triangle combination, which
you can't even try to punch. For Jun Misugi use the same or he will use his
overhead shot. This may seem somehow strange, but it’s easier to score from
a large distance than when you are near the opponent’s goal, so shoot as much
as you can!
2. Walkthrough
Nankatsu vs Shutetsu
This is an hard match, mainly because the other team's GK is going to be
Wakabayashi Genzõ, who will be really hard to score to. Even if you manage
to master the REALLY BAD control system of this game, you will have surely
some trouble scoring, I sugest you use Tsubasa and Misaki's Golden
Combination (*sometimes* it can be used by pressing "B", but only sometimes,
for some reason I don't quite seem to get) to advance in the field and when
one of those to players get the ball you must shoot right away, you MAY or
may not score a goal but that's the best you can do. If you don't seem to
score at all, just keep on defending up to the end and after 2 extra times
you will go into penalty kicks. At the end you will recieve a password for
next level, which will be JMLP.
Nankatsu vs Shimizu
Their GK, Kawakami (if I remenber correctly his name) is quite good, only
Tsubasa and Misaki will be able to score, but from now on you will have the
Shutetsu Trio there to help you, they have their own special combination but
you may have some trouble using it, just like in Tsubasa and Misaki's Golden
Combination. On your goals there will be Wakabayashi, so the opponent team
won't be able to score at all, if you, like I said before, manage to get how
to use the bad control system. After winning get your password, which will
be JKDJ.
Nankatsu vs Meiwa-Igashi
Although your GK is Morisaki (Wakabayashi is injured) Hyuga and Sawada will
not score a lot, use Tsubasa for scoring from the middle of the field (if he
is covered by a opponent player) and everything will go fine. You should only
be careful with Hyuga and Sawada Tõho's Combination, which will cause them to
fastly advance in the field and have more chances to score. After getting a
win, password: JGND.
Nankatsu vs Hanawa
This is the most difficult match of the game, the Tachibana Twins' have great
combinations which enable them to quickly advance in the field, plus
everytime they get near the posts of your goal they will use their Triangle
Combination shot, which will ALWAYS score, so you must try to prevent them
from getting the ball, since they can use their Gemini Combination for
advancing in the field and then scoring a sure goal with their special. For
scoring, use Tsubasa and Misaki's shots while covered by a player of the
opposite team. This time, the password will be NCDN.
Nankatsu vs Musashi
Jun Misugi plays in this team, he was a cool special (the Overhead Shot,
which makes us think if Tsubasa can use his own in this game, but I don't
believe so) but you won't see it a lot, if you do just cry, cause this is one
of those specials you won't be able to stop. For scoring just use Tsubasa's shot
from the middle of the field and, if possible, being covered by another player.
After, get the password which is MOLK.
Nankatsu vs Meiwa-Igashi
THE FINAL MATCH!!!!!!! This time it will be rather difficult to defeat them,
mainly because they got the best GK in this game, Ken Wakashimazu. Fortunately,
Wakabayashi is back to protect your goal so the opponent players will have a
really hard time scoring you a goal, the same will happen to you since
Wakashimazu
is really good, sometimes he will even use his special catch (called
"Sankakugeri"), in which he uses the posts in order to defend. Neither Misaki
nor
Tsubasa will be able to score from far away, so you should use their Golden
Combination to advance in the field and conclude with a shot from Tsubasa,
since he
is the best player on your team by now. If you can't seem to score at all, do
the
same as in the Shutetsu match, defend until you go into penalty kicks from
having
more chances of scoring a goal to that amazing GK. After winning, just watch the
ending and cry of having so much trouble in finishing such a poor game.
3. Controls
.. Up for goin up, Down for going down, Left for going left and Right for going
right. Easy, no? You can pass the ball with B and shoot with A, also you can
perform perform combinations SOMETIMES just by passing the ball. Why? Well,
crappy games! -_-' I don't believe there is a reason at all.
