1. Introduction:
****************

Hi, this is my second guide about the Captain Tsubasa
games. This time it's the second game which was made
in 1990 by TECMO forthe Nintendo (NES / Famicom).
In this game you follow Tsubasa Ozora's debut in Brazil
with his new team, SÃ£o Paulo FC, which is led by Roberto
Hongo, then use the Nankatsu team and eventually use
the Japanese team to go on and win the World Cup.

I hope this guide will please everyone.

***************
Main menu:
***************

> Information:

This option gives you some short information about the opponent.

> Score Memo:

This option will give the password of the game you're playing,
giving you the opportunity to play another time.

> Team Data:

Team Data has several options which allow you to
make a strategy against the opposing team.

Now I will explain, in detail, each option of
Team Data.

A) Formation:

A.1) 4-3-3:

This formation has the distinction of having a defense
with a sweeper (5) and a centreback (4).

This is a formation with which one can put together a strong team
in defense and attack. However it has the disadvantage of having 2 forwards
very much forced to the wings (7 and 11) and therefore leaves only
a single forward (9), which is not great if you need to
make quick and decisive counterattacks. It must be taken into account
that your number 9 will move around constantly, while other
forwards will take time to take their positions.

To play with this type of formation without any kind of
problems, you should have two wingers with good
dribbling skills who can also score from outside the
area. Apart from that, you would have to have a midfielder who
also have the same skills.

A general recommendation for any formation is to always
put players with good aerial skills as a forward,
so that they can receive the ball within the area without
fear of losing it against a defender.

A.2) 4-4-2:

This is my favorite because this formation has two strikers up front
(9 and 11) without losing the balance between the midfield and defense.

This formation also has the benefit of having a centreback
(4) and a sweeper (5) like the 4-3-3 besides having two wide
midfielders (6 and 7) on the wings, which helps for counterattacks and,
last but not least, also has two central midfielders (8 and 10),
which is quite helpful as they can move down the field
through 1-2s. This is a perfect formation which
I suggest using.

For this type of formation with two strikers, I recommend that
one has good aerial skills so that you can support the other
if the first cannot score.

A.3) 3-5-2:

This formation gives a lot more control in midfield,
but is very vulnerable to counterattacks from opponents.

For someone who dares to play in this formation, I recommend
putting the best defender in the centre. However, to me
this formation is not recommended as it will never have a
defense or goalkeeper that is completely safe.

A.4) Brazil Type (4-3-3):

This is a formation that has the peculiarity of having a forward
pulled to one side (7).

This formation, after the 4-4-2 is the best option to choose for
a formation, since it has a defensive line with 4 players
which gives enough security, 3 midfielders like
the 4-3-3 formation, which is very beneficial when one is
defensive, and 3 forwards of which 2 will be central
while the other is at one wing where you'll have enough space
for a center or to take a shot with little coverage.

The small disadvantage of this formation is that the attack begins
to get predictable, as it can only attack down the wing
with your number 7.

To override this, you should strengthen another wing with
players with good skill. That way it makes your attack
unpredictable.

B) Defense Type:

B.1) Normal Type:

In this type of defense, a player who is close to the opponent who
has the ball will try to mark him. The downside of this type of
marking is that it is not convenient to mark with one player,
because this way it will be very difficult to recover the ball.

B.2) Pressing Type:

With this type of defense several of your players will head
immediately to an opponent who has the ball.
In this type your defenders will stand still before a
player past the midfield.

This defensive tactic gives you defensive power and you mark
your opponents quickly and continuously, preventing your
opponents coming closer to your defense. As yourdefense does
not leave many spaces in the back, this results in an extremely
compact device. If you want excellent results with this type
of defense I recommend putting stronger defenses
to thereby put your rival between a good defense and midfield.

The most annoying flaw that this defensive tactic has is that
your defense can usually be anticipated, which may cause problems
if the opponent ends with a shot in your area.

Another shortcoming that this tactic has is that it makes your forwards
also fulfill defensive functions, which makes it difficult to perform
fast and secure counterattack, but you can solve
this problem if you have an adequate formation for
counterattacks, such as 4-4-2 or Brazil Type.

B.3) Counter Type:

This tactic makesit so when defending, your
defense and midfield retreat while
your forwards wait for a counterattack.

Once you have the ball in your hands your midfield
will regain their positions for the attack.

The most advantageous factor of this defensive tactic is that your
defenders will always be in your area, which helps a lot in case
you fail your counterattack, as you are not weakened
in defense as is the case with the defensive tactics of Pressing Type.

From my point of view, this strategy is the best one, since
you use it against teams that always seek to
directly confront your goalkeeper, or teams that always
seek aerial shots in your area.

C) Change:

This allows you to make changes in your lineup.

When we play with clubs, we can only change the positions of the
players we have. However, when you play with Japan you have substitutes
who you may use.

D) Level:

This allows you to see the level of your players and their skills
and special techniques if they possess any.

When you enter this menu, you can see a list of the names of
your players with the guts that they have at that
moment.

When you have selected one of your players a screen will appear
in which you see the maximum guts and level of your player
as well as their skills in different situations such as when
the ball is on the ground, or in the air, measured in numbers.

If your player has special techniques then you can
see the name and guts of each by pressing A.

E) End:

Exit Team Data.

> Kick Off:

This option allows you to start the game.

*****************
During the game:
*****************

During a game you can see white and blue numbers on a map
of the field. White numbers correspond to our
players while blue corresponds to opposing players.

The player with the ball in his possession is represented
on the field by a ball.

When the opponent has the ball in his possession, one of the numbers
of your players has a silvery glow. That number corresponds
to the player who you can move to make the player
do what you want.

If you want to change the number of the player, to the player on our
team closest to the opponent with the ball,
just press the A button when you want a player number
that's higher, or the B button if you want it
a player number that's lower.

--------------------
Basic movements:
--------------------

A) player with possession of the ball (Free or marked)

Pass: "Left"

Allows you to direct the ball to any part of the game you
desire.

You don't necessarily have to use this technique to give
accurate passes, but care must be taken if you want to
perform deep passes since you may end up giving the ball
back to a player of the opposing team.

One-Two: "Down"

Allows you to make a 1-2 that is a combination of passes. For this
it is essential that there is a player close by to perform this,
otherwise a message explains that you can't do this and you should
try another play.

This move is important because with it you can avoid being marked
and possibly losing the ball.

To avoid unwanted markers, you have to do
it close to your marker, but without being marked. Then use a 1-2.
Remember that there should be a close player out of the way of your
marker or markers so they can't intercept the 1-2 either.

This requires 60 guts.

Dribble: "Up"

If you are being marked by one or more players, this command will
allow you to dribble past those markers. If you are unmarked this
command allows your player to keep moving around the field.

Shoot: "Right"

Allows you to make a shot towards goal.

If the shot has been made in your own half, then
the ball fails to reach the goal. For this reason
shots must be done in the opponent's half if
you want to get good results.

This requires 80 guts.

Note: Special shots always reach the goal regardless
of the position they've been used.

B) Marking a rival player

Tackle: "Up"

Allows you to take the ball from an opponent with a tackle.

Pass Cut: "Left"

Allows you to intercept a pass which your opponent has used.

Block: "Right"

Allows you to block any opponent's move, especially shooting
towards your goal.

Do not move: "Down"

This option makes the opponent continue its movement in the
field without you losing your marking.

Seemingly, this move makes no sense whatsoever, but letting
the opponent move makes it possible that you can mark him with
more players and thus have more chances at taking the ball.

This command also allows you to rest players
who have insufficient guts.

C) Receiving the ball in the opponent's area low down:

Pass: "Left"

Allows you to direct the ball to any part of the game you
desire.

Trap: "Up"

Allows you to bring the ball down for a move on the ground.

Shoot: "Right"

Allows you to use a volley, or use a special that can be
done with the ball at low height.

This requires 90 guts.

Through: "Down"

Allows you to pass the ball through a dummy.

By selecting this move, the field map appears, showing the
direction that the ball will go in case we use it.
If the ball is going to a teammate then using it is possible,
but if not you should think of another move.

This move is important because when you use it, the
opposing goalkeeper is unbalanced for a short period of time
which can be exploited, since putting the goalie in that state
makes it easier to score a goal.

D) Receiving the ball in the opponent's area high up:

Pass: "Left"

Allows you to direct the ball to any part of the game you
desire.

Trap: "Up"

Allows you to bring the ball down for a move on the ground.

Shoot: "Right"

Allows you to use a header, or use a special that can be done
with the ball at high height.

This requires 90 guts.

Through: "Down"

Allows you to pass the ball through a dummy.

By selecting this move, the field map appears, showing the
direction that the ball will go in case we use it.
If the ball is going to a teammate then using it is possible,
but if not you should think of another move.

This move is important because when you use it, the
opposing goalkeeper is unbalanced for a short period of time
which can be exploited, since putting the goalie in that state
makes it easier to score a goal.

E) In your own area on the ball:

Pass: "Left"

Allows you to direct the ball to any part of the game you
desire.

Trap: "Up / Down"

Allows you to bring the ball down for a move on the ground.

Clear: "Right"

Allows you to clear the ball.

Be very careful with this move because while clearing,
the ball can fall into the hands of one of our players or
possibly go out of play or to an opposing player.
However, this play is sometimes necessary when someone is marked
in the air by an opposing player.

F) Marking in your own area

Pass Cut: "Left"

Allows you to intercept a pass that the opponent makes.

Do not move: "Down"

This option takes your players out of the play.

Unlike the command on the ground, this move is unwise,
since the opponent will have your goal at his mercy.

Clear: "Right"

Allows you to clear the ball and avert the danger from your
goal.

Follow: "Up"

This option makes your player approach the opposing player
and wait for him to trap the ball.

If the player of the opposing team then decides to trap the ball,
your player will mark him immediately. Otherwise your
player simply does nothing.

G) Marking in the opponent's area

Pass Cut: "Left"

With this option you can intercept passes made by the opponent.

Press: "Right"

This command allows you to hinder the opponent player by
deflecting the ball with your chest to another part of the field. It's
worth mentioning that it's possible that you can deflect it to one of
your players, but it's also possible that the ball goes out of play or
goes to another player on the opposing team. Either way, this is a play
that is highly recommended.

Do not Move: "Up / Down"

This option does not perform any marking on the opponent player.

H) Goalkeeper in the air:

Jump: "Up"

Makes your goalkeeper jump out at an opposing player. With this move
it is possible that your goal gets left unguarded, thus making you
likely to concede a goal, so I recommend using this play when you
are sure your goalkeeper can get the ball from the opponent he's
marking.

Stay in goal: "Left / Right"

This option makes your goalkeeper wait in his goal
when marking the player of the opposing team.

I) Goalkeeper 1-on-1:

Dribble stop: "Up"

Makes your goalkeeper mark the opponent player's attempt to dribble.

Shot stop: "Left / Right"

Makes your goalkeeper mark the opponent player's attempt to shoot
at goal.

Note: Be very careful what you choose because if you choose
wrong then it will be a sure goal for the opponent.
There is also the possibility that the ball flies away with both of
the commands, which will leave your goal unguarded.

As you progress through the game, even guessing correctly what the
opponent does won't work. This is because your goalkeeper has a
much lower level relative to the opponents you face. Similarly, if
your keeper has a much higher level, then they can easily get the
ball even if you have not guessed the correct play.

J) Goalkeeper against shot:

Catch: "Left / Right"

Allows you to catch the ball with your hands.

Punch: "Up"

Allows you to clear the ball with his fists.

The clearance may not necessarily fall to one of your
players. It may go out of play, or to fall to one of your
opponents, but this play is more effective than catching
the ball.

Sankakutobi: "Down" (Ken Wakashimazu only)
Ken Wakashimazu's special technique that involves taking momentum from
one of the goalposts to be more likely to save an opponent's shot.

###########################
Commands out of play:
###########################

A) What to do?:

Each time you stop play, these two options appear on the screen.
The first is called 'Return to the game' while the second is called
'Changing the Team Data'.

Return to the game:

This option allows you to continue with the game.

Changing the Team Data:

Allows you to enter the Team Data.

At halftime the menu also appears, but with the options in reverse
order, ie. first will be 'Changing the Team Data' and then
'Return to the game'.

B) Penalty Kick:

In the case of an opposing players committing a foul in the area
then a menu appears in which you have to choose the player who takes
the penalty kick.

After we have chosen the player a menu appears called
'Where to shoot?'.

This allows you to choose between three directions to place your
shot. After choosing the direction, simply press the A button.

The options are:

Center: "Up / Down"

Allows you to kick toward the center of the goal.

Left: "Left"

Allows you to kick to the left.

Right: "Right"

Allows you to kick right.

When we have fouled the opponent in the area then
the menu appears asking 'Where to jump?'.

This menu has the same options as 'Where to shoot?'.

Center: "Up / Down"

Allows you to jump to the center of the goal.

Left: "Left"

Allows you to jump left.

Right: "Right"

Allows you to jump to the right.

When a game goes to penalties, a menu appears on-screen
where you have to pick five players in your lineup for the
penalty shootout.

Once you have chosen your five players the
menu 'Where to jump?' appears so we can choose the side to
which we want our goalkeeper to jump, then the menu
'Where to shoot?' appears, to choose the direction where we
want to shoot, and so on until one team misses more shots
than the other.

If the scores are equal after five penalties each,
then the penalty shootout will continue with players who we
have not chosen until someone takes an advantage of one goal.

C) Free Kick:

When you have been fouled far away from goal
you only have the option to send a pass to who you want.

But when you have been fouled near the penalty area
then you have the opportunity to execute a direct free kick.

Then if you have been fouled then the menu will appear in which
you must choose one of your players to take the free kick.

After we have chosen the player who takes the free kick
a menu appears in which the two options are:

No Change:

If you choose this first command you then immediately go to
choosing what to do with the free kick.

Change:

If we choose this second option then another menu appears
which has two other options which are:

Change:

This option lets you select one of your players and
place them in the position you want.

When you move your players I'll give the following
recommendations:

When your team is performing a free kick:

- If you're going to pass to a player to score a
goal, place him somewhere he won't be marked.

- An elaborate play that I use is one where I place
one of my forwards in front of goal, then I place
another player in a corner of the opposing team's
area. Once you've done that, give the ball to the player
on the corner, then immediately pass the ball to the forward
in front of goal. This way the goalkeeper can't mark you
when you shoot on goal, or go 1-on-1.

- Locate your defenders so that they can be on the lookout
for a counterattack from opponents.

End:

Allows you to exit the menu to immediately choose your command.

When the free-kick is ready there will be two options to do,
which are giving a pass to a teammate or firing a direct shot.

If you chose to shoot then a menu appears in which you can
choose the direction of your shot.

The options to choose are:

Left: "Left"

Allows you to shoot the ball to the left side.

Right: "Right"

Allows you to shoot the ball to the right side.

If it is the other team who takes the free kick
then a menu appears which has the same options.

The options to choose are:

Left: "Left"

Allows you to cover the left side.

Right: "Right"

Allows you to cover the right side.

When you're taking the free kick and the opponent
does not guess the direction in which we shot,
then our shot passes the wall. Otherwise one
player in the wall gets in the way of the shot.
If the shot is very strong the defender will slow it down
but if not, the defender will stop it easily.

If you are on the defensive and you guess the direction
of the shot then you can stop the shot or at least reduce
its power, but if we have not guessed the direction then
the shot will evade your wall.

D) Corner Kick:

When you have the opportunity to take a corner an option appears
in which a player must be chosen to take it.

Thereafter, as in the free kick menu, you can move your
players at your leisure.

When you use the change menu I recommend you do the following:

When the opponent is taking the corner:

- Put your best air markers next to the most dangerous players
on the opposing team who are within your area.

- They must be located with your best blocking defenders
in a vertical line to your goal, so they can deflect or at least
slow down a possible direct shot from the corner.

- You must locate an effective striker in the penalty area so that when
you have the opportunity to counter, that player can get to the
opponent's goal without problems.

When you're the one that take the corner:

- You must locate the attacker you want to use in a position
which does not have any markers.

- A number of defenders should be located around the forwards of
the opposing team who are closer to our goal. This way you can
avoid a catastrophe in the event that the opponent tries a
counterattack.

When you go to take the corner, you only you have two options,
which are to give a pass to a teammate or shoot
directly toward the goal and try for an 'Olympic goal'.

Brazil Rio Cup
##############

> Lineup of SÃ£o Paulo:

GK Renato
02-Lima
03-Marini
04-Amaral
05-Doutor
06-Batista
07-Tahamata
08-Babington
09-Gil
10-Tsubasa
11-PlatÃ£o

> Tips for this league:

The most important players you have on your team are: Amaral,
Doutor, Babington, Gil and Tsubasa.

These players have to be used to the max in every game so that
they can increase their level continuously so that they may be
useful in the final stages of the league.

Amaral is a defender with a good ability to mark both on the ground
and in the air, besides having a good header which
can serve much help at key moments in some games.

Doutor is another good defender who, like
Amaral, has good skills to mark both on the ground and
in the air, besides having a good volley shot which can
be very helpful in some games.

I recommend that you use Doutor and Amaral's attack skills
when you have an opportunity to perform an action when the ball
goes out of play. Place them as forwards when your attackers need
some guts.

When opponents try an aerial move you should use the Clear
command. It will work best we even until the final stages of the
tournament. I recommend you use Counter defensive tactics so that
you can keep your defenders inside the area and so
give them a defensive mark in the air.

Furthermore, as the Counter defensive tactic makes your
forwards and wingers perform the same function as the Press
defense, you can cause mistakes in the opponent team in midfield,
making for the simplest counterattacks.

When the opposing team has a forward as its main star, use
the Counter defensive strategy since usually they leave your
midfielders behind when they have the ball.

The Press defensive strategy will be useful only for games
where the opposing team has some stars with aerial shots, as
usually this kind of team will only pass the ball to their
forward at the last moment.

These tips not only apply to the Rio Cup, but for the whole
game, so always keep these in mind.

Babington's a good player whose virtues are having good
passing ability, dribbling and volleys. This
makes this player one of the most important in the team.

Gil is a player who is mostly low-skilled,
but he has two skills that are very important to the
team, which are his volleys and headers which
can cause problems for the opponent's goalies.

Tsubasa is the player who has the highest skills of the team and is
therefore the most important Tsubasa has very
good special techniques, such as Drive Shoot, which is a
shot can score easily to most goalkeepers in the
league, Heel Lift, which is a dribble with which you can dribble past
any player including the goalkeeper, and an Overhead Kick
aerial shot with little expenditure of guts which will be very effective
on many occasions.

From the start, I recommend that you use this player
as a striker instead of a midfielder because in many situations
you need him in that position.

Although at times your goalkeeper can have some miraculous performances,
you must'nt trust him as he is a largely mediocre goalkeeper.

The remaining players on the team will be nothing but pawns.
That means you should not trust them. Pass the ball quickly with them
and do not lose it foolishly.

> SÃ£o Paulo vs. Fluminense

Special players: None

Strategy:

This first game is very easy and you won't have many problems
getting a positive result.

This game will help us more than anything to learn the
game, so just dedicate yourself to completely dominating the game
because the next game will not be so easy to win like this.

> SÃ£o Paulo vs. Corinthians

Special players:

10-Riberio: Banana Shoot
09-SatrÃºstegui: Dynamite Head

Strategy:

In this game you will face two very dangerous players
who can score very easily with their special techniques.

The first is the forward, SatrÃºstegui, who seeks to get into
your area by using 1-2s and then finish with a volley
or uses his powerful Dynamite Head which is difficult (although
not impossible) for our goalkeeper to stop.

The second but no less dangerous is the midfielder Riberio
who has a special shot called Banana Shoot, which is very
difficult to stop but not as much as the Dynamite Head of
SatrÃºstegui.

Their plays on ball center around Riberio who will
look to shoot his Banana Shoot directly or enable his
teammate SatrÃºstegui to try an aerial shot.

You must prevent opposing players marking you, especially
Riberio who is very good at intercepting passes.

In this match I recommend that you use Press Type
defense so that you can exert strong pressure on the
midfield and thereby prevent the ball reaching the feet of
Corinthians most dangerous players.

To score you will not have many problems as Corinthians'
goalkeeper is quite mediocre.

Rather, you have to be careful not to waste your guts.
You must take into account the following considerations:

There is no need to use either the Drive Shoot or Overhead Kick
in this game so I find it best not to use these techniques unless the
situation requires.

With Tsubasa you can simply perform simple aerial shots,
say volleys and headers.

You can also go 1-on-1 with the opposing goalkeeper,
then try to dribble or shoot at close range to the
goal, always using simple techniques.

You can use the Heel Lift against the opposing goalkeeper, but really
it's unnecessary because it's enough just to use a normal dribble,
although you can use this special technique to ensure the
first goal and take the lead.

Babington can win the 1-on-1 by dribbling and can also beat the
goalkeeper with a close range shot. This player can also
score without difficulty using his volley shot.

Gil can score to Corinthians' goalkeeper using his air shots
or shooting from close range.

You can also score with the header of Amaral or
Doutor's volley.

You can use these two when the ball goes out of play
or you can also use one of them as an attacker because they
themselves are better finishers than Gil or Babington.

When the match ends, a cutscene is shown where the goalkeeper of
Gremio challenges Tsubasa and beats him by catching his special shot,
Drive Shoot.

> SÃ£o Paulo vs. Gremio

Special players:

09-Da Silva
GK-Claudio MeÃ£o

Strategy:

The first thing you should know before playing this game is that
Tsubasa's Drive Shoot will not work against Gremio goalkeeper
Claudio MeÃ£o. That's why I recommend you don't use this shot
throughout the match, unless you use it in 1-on-1s with the
goalkeeper.

During the game MeÃ£o will be shown as unbeatable to any
shot you make. For that reason I advise you not to use
Tsubasa to finish off the goal because all you will accomplish
is wasting your guts.

After shooting 2 or 3 times a cutscene appears in
which Tsubasa learns a new special technique called Drive
Overhead Kick, which gets past MeÃ£o. Thus, you score an automatic
goal in your favor.

Before this automatic goal cutscene the only way to score will be
going 1-on-1 with the rival goalkeeper.

After the automatic goal cutscene we can beat MeÃ£o with any of
Tsubasa's specials, except Drive Shoot, of course.

To avoid wasting guts with shots on goal you can try to
dribble past the goalkeeper with Tsubasa's Heel Lift.
This is a play that you have to use many times when you face a very
powerful goalkeeper.

Drive Shoot can work only if you go 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper.
This applies throughout the game, that is, before and after
the automatic goal cutscene.

You may also use Gil's aerial shots, Babington's or Doutor's volley
and headers by Amaral. Obviously these will be more effective after
the automatic goal cutscene.

Another very important opponent player is striker Da Silva,
who does not possess any special techniques. However, he's very dangerous
with his dribble and volley shots or headers. For this reason you should
prevent the ball from reaching this great Uruguayan player.

Bear in mind that the new special Tsubasa gets spends 320
guts so it is better not to use it throughout the league.

At the end of this match, we see, talking with Carlos Santana,
a mysterious character...

> SÃ£o Paulo vs. Palmeiras

Special players:

11-Ney: Kieru Feint and Booster Shoot (in combination with Toninho)
09-Toninho: Drive Shoot

Strategy:

Palmeiras has in its ranks two good players: Toninho and Ney.

Toninho is a striker who has the same special shot as Tsubasa,
Drive Shoot, which he does not hesitate to use as soon as he
is near your goal.

The other danger with Palmeiras is Ney, a player who uses his
special dribble called Kieru Feint to advance through the field without
anybody stopping him. Beyond that he also has a special shot
in combination with Toninho called Booster Shoot which will be a lot
to handle for our goalkeeper.

Ney is the centre of most of Palmeiras' plays, and he'll look to shoot
himself with Booster Shoot or enable teammate Toninho to shoot.

Scoring methods remain the same as in the match against Corinthians.

Our goalie can stop special shots from Ney and Toninho
providing one or more of our defenders slows the ball down before
it reaches your goal.

If Palmeiras players start looking for an air shot then you should
try to have as many players in your area in order to win the aerial
duel using the Clear command.

> SÃ£o Paulo vs. Santos

Special players:

09-Zagallo: Double Eel and Goin na Dribble

04-Dilceu: Cannon Head, Power Block and Power Tackle

Strategy:

Santos is a team that has two very special players who will be
dangerous, Zagallo and Dilceu.

Zagallo is a player who has two very strong
special techniques. One is Goin na Dribble, which is
a powerful dribble that tries to blow away markers. The other
is the Double Eel technique which is a strong zigzag shot.
It will be impossible to stop.

Dilceu is the other major player of Santos. His job is to protect
the defense of his team with his Power Block and Power Tackle,
but that's not the only thing. If the opponent is on the offensive
he will join the attack to use his Cannon Head which is a
powerful header and which is virtually a certain goal.

Zagallo is also responsible for implementing
corner kicks. There he may shoot towards goal or pass to teammate
Dilceu, so be careful with both of them.

If the opposing team has a corner, I suggest to you place Doutor
and Amarau to mark Dilceu.

Take Lima, Marini, Batista, Tahamata and PlatÃ£o and place them
in a line across goal. If Zagallo shoots you can slow down his
shot this way.

To score we can keep using the same method as in the previous games.

Unlike the previous game, the other players will
cause problems, which is why you should not try to get past markers,
but rather attempt to move with passes and 1-2s, always making sure
the opponent can't touch the ball.

> SÃ£o Paulo vs. Flamengo

Special players:

10-Carlos Santana: Overhead Kick, Mirage Shoot and Bunshin Dribble

06-Santamaria: Banana Shoot

02-GetÃºlio: Drive Shoot

Strategy:

This is the most difficult game up to now and here we face the
"Soccer Cyborg" Carlos Santana, who does not compare at all
with the players we saw earlier.

Carlos Santana is the most important player in Brazil, for he
has dangerous special techniques such as Bunshin Dribble
and Mirage Shoot which will wreak havoc with your team.
The first technique is an unstoppable dribble in which he moves so
fast, he seems to multiply The other techniques is its Mirage
Shot, which is an amazing shot where the ball appears to multiply
due to its enormous speed. Besides these techniques he also has the
Overhead Kick which he strives to use when he has the chance.

Santana will be in charge of free kicks when we foul them
close to our goal. He will always use his shot and you can not do
anything to stop it.

Another important player is Santamaria who is the axis in the
midfield, one of his main functions is to send passes to
Santana. He will also be in charge of corner kicks where he will
use his Banana Shoot, which will be quite effective against us.

The last major player in Flamengo is GetÃºlio who is a
fullback playing up and down the wing. You must be very careful
with him because if he has the ball he can use his Drive Shoot,
causing you many problems.

If you want to win the match, you must not worry about Flamengo's
goals because at some point they will fail. But you can't afford
that luxury, so make sure you score with Tsubasa's powerful shots
then secure the ball until the end of the game so that you get the
win.

When you defend yourselves you have to try to take the
the ball from Flamengo in midfield, preventing the ball
reaching Santana or Santamaria in any way.

Always use the Clear command if a player marks
Flamengo in the air, so you can clear the ball and start
a counterattack.

National Championships:
######################################

> Lineup of Nankatsu:

GK- Yuzo Morisaki
02- Takeshi Kishida
03- Shingo Takasugi
04- RyÃ´ Ishizaki
05- Masao Nakayama
06- Hanji Urabe
07- Mamoru Izawa
08- Hajime Taki
09- Shun Nitta
10- TarÃ´ Misaki
11- Teppei Kisugi

> Advice for this league:

Misaki is the captain and best player on the team. He has only two
special techniques, Overhead Kick and Jumping Volley Shoot
which are very effective, especially the latter.
This player's air shooting skills are very good.

Despite not having a special dribble, we can trust in his normal
dribble which is quite good. Also, he has a good tackle and
pass intercept.

It would be great to have this player on the front accompanying
Nitta.

Nitta is the main striker of Nankatsu, due to his good
header and volley. The latter will be increased
with his special technique, Hayabusa Volley Shoot, which is a variant
of Hayabusa Shoot which is made on the floor, unlike its
improved version.

Ishizaki would be ordinary but for his special technique
called Ganmen Block, with which he can stop any
shot with his Face. This technique is hugely effective. The bad
thing is, Ganmen Block is only usable on the ground and also spends
a lot of guts. Use it only when you're sure you're
in imminent danger.

The other players I can highlight who have skills are Izawa,
who functions as the team axis besides having a good header.
Taki is also quite decent with a good dribble, and
Kisugi has aerial shots that can help us.

In addition to Ishizaki in defense we also have Takasugi who
can help in of protecting our goal, which is
a headache to protect as you have a very weak goalkeeper
who can barely stop shots from common players on
the opposing team.

To score, just trust Misaki and Nitta until you take a substantial
advantage. After that, defend with everyone using Press to steal
the ball. That will later help in retaining the ball. Take your
time and end with another shot from Misaki or Nitta and you'll be
good in this league.

Avoid being marked because you may lose the ball.
By now the opponents will have a level above yours, which is why
you must keep the ball as much as possible.

Another thing I suggest is you use the Clear command every time
you mark an opponent in the air so you can start several
counterattacks.

Nankatsu vs. Kunimi

Special players:

09-Mitsuru Sano: Overhead Kick
04-Hiroshi Jito: Power Block, Power Tackle, Goin na Dribble and Sano to no
Combi Play (Combination with Sano)

Strategy:

This match will not be easy because Kunimi features
two very good players. They are Hiroshi Jito, who is a
very powerful defender, and Mitsuru Sano, who is an elusive striker.
Jito will be a defender who is very difficult to pass, even with Misaki.
Make sure you don't get close to him. But that's not the only thing.
He makes for a good defense, but also adds to the attack when the
situation demands. At that moment he does not hesitate to use his
special technique called Sano to no Combi Play, which is a shot in
combination with his teammate Sano, which will be very effective against
us. The truth is that with this goalkeeper there nothing you
can do. Another technique this player has is Goin na Dribble
with which he blows away anyone who crosses his path.

The other major player is Mitsuru Sano who will be very dangerous
with his dribbling and aerial shots, especially with Overhead Kick.

Sano will be responsible for performing corner kicks, where in
general he'll direct the ball to his friend Jito to shoot it.

Try to keep Ishizaki close to Jito always to block its
shot with Ganmen Block. Besides this, attempt to keep multiple
players in your area to hinder the movements of Sano.

When attacking, do it rationally with Misaki and Nitta. Remember
they are the centre of your team and are more secure on the ball.

Do not use long passes, play from behind to then with short,
accurate passes to get to the goal and finish with special shots
from Misaki and Nitta. This advice will serve you well throughout
the league.

Also do not forget to use the Clear command every time you mark the
opposing players in the air.

Nankatsu vs. Akita

Special players:

11-Kazuo Tachibana: Skylab Hurricane, Skylab Tackle, Skylab Block,
Skylab Passcut, Gemini Attack and Twin Shoot (All these special
techniques are performed in combination with brother Masao)
9-Masao Tachibana: Skylab Hurricane, Skylab Tackle, Skylab Block,
Skylab Passcut, Gemini Attack and Twin Shoot (All these special
techniques are performed in combination with brother Kazuo)

Strategy:

This match is either more or less difficult, but it can reach
become a real headache when the Tachibana brothers
use their combination of passes called Gemini Attack.
They have a quick and easy way towards our goal to
then use a Twin Shoot or Skylab Hurricane which are
unstoppable for our goalkeeper. But that's not the only
problem. These brothers also have defensive plays.
You must both avoid their marking and keep your passes away
from them.

To avoid these headaches, you have to make it very hard for
Akita's defenders and midfielders so that the ball doesn't
get to the Tachibana brothers. For this, Press and Counter
defensive tactics will help you a lot.

If the brothers get to your area with the ball in the
air all you have to do is use the Clear command.
If at least one player marks them in the air,
you might well get to divert the odd shot.

To get goals you will not have many problems, only use the
special shots of Misaki and Nitta near the goal.

If the ball comes into the possession of the brothers,
there is nothing you can really do. But they will make mistakes
which you should take advantage of. Don't go straight on the attack,
strike rather slowly but effectively. Don't forget that
opponents have infinite energy while ours is limited.

Nankatsu vs. Tatsunami

Special players:

04-Makoto Soda: Kamisori Tackle and Kamisori Shoot
GK-Taichi Nakanishi

Strategy:

The Tatsunami is a team with two players and one star.
First is the goalkeeper Nakanishi who can be overcome easily
with special aerial shots from Misaki and Nitta.

Another effective way to beat Nakanishi is using the Hayabusa Shoot
of Nitta 1-on-1. You can also try to dribble with,
Misaki although this second way is less effective, but can at least
cause a rebound for another player to shoot from without the goalkeeper
bothering you.

The most dangerous player is Tatsunami defender Makoto Soda,
who will be very difficult to pass, as this player has a tackle
called Kamisori Tackle, with which we can get the ball.
You must prevent him marking you.

Makoto Soda also has a special shot called Kamisori Shoot
which will cause you many problems, especially when he steps into attack
when his team has the ball. Also he tends to use it at free and corner
kicks.

All you have to do to win this game is to prevent Soda attacking.
For that, keep the ball throughout the game ensuring that the opposing
team can't do anything about it. Only attack when necessary.

Nankatsu vs. Musashi

Special players:

10-Jun Misugi (2nd half): Hyper Overhead Kick

Strategy:

When beginning the game Musashi will not have any special players.
However some players are quite skilled and not to
be underestimated.

You must attack all-out from the start without giving any opportunity
for the opponent to react. It would be of much help if the end of the
first half you had at least two goals.

Only use the Hayabusa Volley Shoot of Nitta or the Jumping Volley Shoot
of Misaki because the goalkeeper Musashi is notso easy to score against.

You can also try to dribble round the goalkeeper with Misaki or use
Hayabusa Shoot with Nitta. These moves are somewhat risky but at least
you can try to force a rebound and thus leave the goal totally
unguarded.

In the second half Jun Misugi will come on. He is an
extraordinary player who can do with you whatever he wants.
It is for this reason that in the first half you must have taken
a good advantage on the scoreboard. To top it off, Misugi
has a special technique called Hyper Overhead Kick which is
unstoppable. Really, anything that this excellent player does
will be terrible for you.

As I warned, it is best to get an advantage of at
least two goals so you can take the second half more calmly
and you can get a certain victory.

If you're level at the end of the first half, you can still
save the game. However, you'd likely have no choice but to
time your attacks throughout the match to finally score at
the last second.

Nankatsu vs. Furano

Special players:

10-Hikaru Matsuyama: Nadare KÃ´geki, Eagle Shot and Overhead Kick

Strategy:

Here things get tough as making his appearance is Hikaru
Matsuyama, who is a very good player, and not only that but the
other players will also cause us problems.

Matsuyama has the ability to make him and his teammates move at high
speed with his exclusive to Furano special called Nadare KÃ´geki,
but that is not all you have to worry about as Matsuyama has
two special techniques. One is the Overhead Kick, and another
is the special shot called Eagle Shot with which he can score
from any position, without you being able to do anything about
it.

For how dangerous he can be, it is of utmost importance that Ishizaki is
always this close enough to Matsuyama to mark him and use the
Ganmen Block to prevent the Eagle Shot causing problems with your goalie.

Another important thing is that the goalkeeper of Furano is difficult
to beat. only uses the Hayabusa Volley of Nitta and the Overhead
Kick or Jumping Volley of Misaki until you have a certain advantage.
Then you can try the Hayabusa Shoot of Nitta or the dribble of Misaki
in a 1-on-1.

If things are getting intense for your team, try and make time and avoid
their players. That way you won't suffer as much.

Nankatsu vs. Toho

Special players:

10-Kazuki Sorimachi
09-Kojiro Hyuga: Tiger Shot, Neo Tiger Shot, Overhead Kick, Tiger Tackle,
Goin na Dribble and Toho Combi
06-Takeshi Sawada: Toho Combi
GK-Ken Wakashimazu: Sankakutobi Catch

Strategy:

This is the end of the Japanese tournament and as such it will be
difficult to get the victory. In truth, I do not blame people who
at this point lose games to raise the level of their players. But that
is not my style. So, I'll give you some tips that I hope will keep you
unbeaten after this meeting.

Hyuuga is a striker with lethal shots so you should make sure
the ball never reaches him. To do so I recommend the Press tactics.
If he gets the ball in his power, mark him with multiple players
and try and stop his Goin na Dribble. However, if he gets near your area,
that effort will be wasted as Hyuuga is able to destroy
your defense and goalkeeper with his Tiger Shot and Neo Tiger Shot.

Hyuuga and Sawada have a combination of passes called Toho Combi
which is a serious problem because this way he prevents you marking
him and also quickly reaches your area.

Sorimachi is a striker who does not possess any special techniques but is
very dangerous with his volleys and headers so we have to be very careful
with him.

Wakashimazu, the goalkeeper, can be overcome with the special volleys of
Misaki and Nitta. It's also possible to beat him with
Hayabusa Shoot from Nitta or Misaki dribble in 1-on-1. But you
must be very sparing with the guts of these players.

When you have the ball and are attacking, send
the ball backwards and analyze the opponent's movements, and then make
short and precise passes that finally finish with a goal.

The use of 1-2s is important because this way
you can avoid unwanted markers or losing the ball in case
you are marked.

Making time is fundamental to this game because not only does it
helps burn minutes, but it can also maintain the result
for for and refill your main players with guts again to make
another attack.

I recommend that when you have a superior opponent, you progress down
the wing and then pass into the opponent's area.

The last four tips are very important not only for this
game, but for those coming afterwards.

#########
Japan Cup
#########

> Advice for this league:

Basically you have to play just like you did in the Rio Cup.
However, this time the only player who will get goals is
captain Tsubasa Ozora.

SÃ£o Paulo vs. AS Roma

Special players:

09-Lampion: Rocket Head

Strategy:

Unlike Rio Cup matches, in these games
you can only use Tsubasa to score goals for your team
so you must be very careful with his guts.

The only dangerous player for Roma is Italian striker Lampion
who has a superb special header called the Rocket Head,
which can rack up goals very easily, so prevent the ball from
getting to him, else he will seek to perform aerial moves
through 1-2s.

You can try to prevent aerial attacks by marking Lampion with
several players in the area. You should located two or three
players on the penalty spot, preferably Amaral and Doutor.

I think with the experience you've gained so far, and using the
tips from previous matches, I doubt you'll have problems winning
this game.

SÃ£o Paulo vs. Uruguay

Special players:

11-RamÃ³n Victorino: Overhead Kick
09-Da Silva

Strategy:

Here you face the Uruguayan team.

This team has Da Silva who we already faced in the Rio Cup.
However, the greatest danger is not him but RamÃ³n Victorino
with his volleys and Overhead Kick. He can be a real pain.
Mark him heavily with Doutor and Amaral but do not neglect
Da Silva. If anything with his volleys and headers he can also
chalk up several goals.

Uruguay's goalkeeper is sometimes hard to beat, so use only
Tsubasa, his effectiveness is very important.

Do not forget to mark the defenders and midfielders since this is
how you keep them on the defensive and ensures the forwards
have no chance to receive the ball.

SÃ£o Paulo vs. Hamburg SV

Special players:

10-Hermann Kaltz: Harinezumi Dribble
07-Theodor Kapellomann: Sidewinder
06-Metza: Top Spin Pass
GK-Genzo Wakabayashi

Strategy:

This match is very complicated because Hamburg has several
excellent players. One of them is the Teutonic forward Theodor
Kapellomann, who incessantly attacks down the wing. He has
the zigzagging special called Sidewinder shot which he uses
at corner kicks and when on the attack.

Kaltz is the axis player on the team and has a special dribble called
Harinezumi Dribble, which is difficult to stop even if we use
Tsubasa, Doutor or Amarau. You can only stop him if you're lucky.

Metza will send passes deep with his Top Spin Pass so try to get
the ball off him before he performs one of these terrifying
deep passes.

Finally, we have Wakabayashi who is an extremely difficult goalkeeper
to overcome, so much so that he can even stop the Drive
Overhead Kick of Tsubasa. To score against Wakabayashi without wasting your
guts you can try dribbling round him with Heel Lift or use Drive Shoot
in a 1-on-1.

Another option to score is giving the ball to any player in the
the area and using the Through command to dislodge the goalkeeper.
Since Tsubasa is the only player who can score, make it so when you
use the Through command for the last time, the ball is going to him.

In this game you must use all the knowledge from your previous matches,
such as always using the Clear command when you mark in the air,
make time, use Press tactics to steal the ball in midfield and attack
on the wing. Using this to your advantage, you can win this difficult
match.

SÃ£o Paulo vs. Japan

Special players:

11-Shun Nitta (1st half): Hayabusa Shoot, Hayabusa Volley Shoot.
11-Jun Misugi (2nd half): Hyper Overhead Kick
10-TarÃ´ Misaki: Jumping Volley Shoot, Overhead Kick
09-Kojiro Hyuga: Tiger Shot, Neo Tiger Shot, Overhead Kick,
Goin na Dribble, Tiger Tackle
08-Kazuo Tachibana: Twin Shoot, Skylab Hurricane, Skylab Tackle,
Skylab Passcut, Skylab Block, Gemini Attack, Skylab Twin Shoot
07-Masao Tachibana: Twin Shoot, Skylab Hurricane, Skylab Tackle,
Skylab Passcut, Skylab Block, Gemini Attack, Skylab Twin Shoot
06-Mitsuru Sano: Overhead Kick
05-Hikaru Matsuyama: Eagle Shot, Overhead Kick
04-RyÃ´ Ishizaki: Ganmen Block
03-Makoto Soda: Kamisori Shoot, Kamisori Pass, Kamisori Tackle.
02-Hiroshi Jito: Goin na Dribble, Power Tackle, Power Block,
Sano to no Combi Play
GK-Ken Wakashimazu: Sankakutobi Catch

Strategy:

The special shots of the Japanese team will be very complicated to
contain and the only way to save one is if a player slows down the
ball before it reaches the goal.

Usually Soda, Jito, Matsuyama and other try to score
from afar every time they have the ball, but if the shot is
in the way of Tsubasa, Doutor and Amarau can sometimes deflect the
ball.

Renato may stop any of these defenders' shots
but this will only happen in the event that the shot
in question has been slowed down by one or more of your players.

The Tachibana brothers always use their Skylab Twin Shoot which
is a shot by the twins together with Hiroshi Jito.
It will be impossible to stop.

Moreover, Hyuuga also looks to score many goals using
special shots.

The remaining players will find themselves in a situation
wondering which is the best in this repertoire to use.

Do not forget to use the Clear command each time you mark an
opponent in the air, because this way, sooner or later you
end up with the ball and so you can start a counterattack
which must end with your star player, Tsubasa Ozora.

I suggest in this game you use the Counter defensive strategy
so you can steal the ball in the opponent's
midfield and so you always have your defense well
positioned in your area in search of an opportunity
to retrieve the ball.

To beat Wakashimazu without wasting your guts, try the
Heel Lift dribble or the Drive Shoot as close as possible
to the rival goal or 1-on-1.

#######################
Asian qualifiers
#######################

Advice for playing with Japan:

When you start to play with the Japanese team, you must always have
Genzo Wakabayashi as goalkeeper because he is the only goalkeeper we
will use till the final stages, and you must raise his level and
get used to him while we are at this stage.

In the Asian qualifiers you will find no very
powerful goalkeepers, but still it's better to use powerful shots such
as SkyLab Twin Shoot with the Tachibana brothers, Hyper Overhead
Kick with Misugi, Jumping Volley Shoot with Misaki, Twin Shoot with
Misaki or Tsubasa, Drive Overhead Kick with Tsubasa, Hyuga's Neo Tiger Shot,
Matsuyama's Eagle Shot and Nitta's Hayabusa Volley Shoot.

In general, if we face a difficult goalkeeper,
try to dribble past him with Tsubasa's Heel Lift or perform
a special shot in 1-on-1 with Tsubasa, Hyuuga or Matsuyama.
Take into account the power of the goalkeeper who
you face.

In the Asian qualifiers you have to get used to using
Kamisori Pass with Soda to spare the trouble and
risk of the opponent intercepting the ball.

The best defensive tactics that can be used is Press
so you can mark opposing players with several players.

Avoid being marked by opponents because you will lose.

Unbalancing goalkeepers using the Through command
facilitates you a lot, but just make sure there is no risk
of giving the ball away when you use the command.

You'd better get used to using Jun Misugi throughout the game.
Remember that he spends 5 guts per move, unlike others
who use 3 guts per move. This player will have 0 guts for the
next if he ends a game with less than 100 guts.

If you want to use him throughout the game, use him as a forward
but only use Misugi to score once. After that, place him as a
central defender. In this position he will help because he has
quite good marking skills both on the ground and in the air.

Whenever your usual scorers are tired, put Misugi as an attacker
again, but again, I remind you not to abuse him, because you won't
be able to use this great player next time you play.

Aside from these tips, I will teach you a bug that will be very useful
to you from now onwards. To use it, you have to place Tsubasa or Misaki
at any point on the very end of the opponent's half, with the exception
of the small area where the opposing goalie appears to be. Afterwards,
next to that area, use the special 1-2, Golden Combi. Once you
do, you'll no longer be in the opponent's half but will appear on the
end of your own half instead.

This bug can be used to burn minutes if you require. Later on you'll
encounter very difficult teams to beat and this can help you a lot.

Preferably use this bug only with Misaki because you'll need Tsubasa
to score goals.

For more details on this bug, check the "Curiosities,
Tips, Tricks and Special Codes" section.

Japan vs. Syria

Special players: None

Strategy:

This game does not have many difficulties, you just have to use
the whole arsenal of special shots at your disposal.

What would be good to do is that you begin games with
Wakashimazu playing as goalkeeper and then change in the
second half, or if he is tired, to Wakabayashi, so
you can raise the level of your two best goalkeepers.

I suggest for this and the following matches you use all your
players so that all or most of their levels may rise soon.

Use the best shots you have in the area and you'll get good
results.

Japan vs. China

Special players:

11-Li Hanne: ShÃ´ryÃ»kyaku
09-Li Bankun: ShÃ´ryÃ»kyaku

Strategy:

This game can become complicated as the Chinese team
has the Li brothers with a special shot in the area.
It is very difficult to contain it. You must be careful not
to allow these two to get the ball and come to the area because
they will score a lot of goals.

For marking these acrobatic players, use the two
Tachibana brothers and their Skylab PassCut. Another serious option
is to use one of them and Jun Misugi. Both ways are effective.

Although Misugi has a good pass cut, it is best he
uses the Clear command because, curiously, it will be more effective than
his cut.

The rest of the team is not a worry because with this team you have no
problems with scoring.

Japan vs. Iran

Special players: None

Strategy:

This team is extremely aggressive. You can take advantage of this
in your favor to draw fouls. However, unless it is inside their area,
do not let them mark you at all as all you will achieve is wasting
time in vain.

Iran's goalkeeper is also very tough in 1-on-1s. It's better
if you don't go for 1-on-1s.

To score there won't be any major troubles. Just use the stronger
shots that you have in your repertoire and make sure with aerial shots
defenders do not mark you, else you may lose the ball.

Overall, this is a simple game. You possess players with
special techniques and they do not.

Japan vs. North Korea

Special players: None

Strategy:

The players on this team, despite not having special skills,
are very annoying, especially when making volleys and headers.
But we can undermine their attack by locating the two Tachibana
brothers in central defense, or one of them next to Misugi.

The opposing players are good at cutting passes so do not make
passes that have the possibility of being cut. Think about your moves
before you make them so you can move safely.

Japan vs. Saudi Arabia

Special players: None

Strategy:

They have no stars but they have quite skilled players,
especially their goalkeeper. For him you need your team's most
powerful shots, with a clear goal in front, or you can face
him 1-on-1.

The Saudis are very good at headers and volleys. It is therefore
best to have the Tachibana brothers or one of them and
Misugi marking them so you avoid difficulties.

The Saudi goalkeeper is rather good. To get sure goals,
use the best shots you have in a 1-on-1.

Other ways to score would be using the Through command to unbalance
the keeper. Tsubasa's Heel Lift also works 1-on-1.

When you already have a positive result, you can bombard the
Saudi Arabia goalie with shots from the best players on your team.

Japan vs. South Korea

Special players:

10-Kim: Twin Shoot
09-Cha: Twin Shoot

Strategy:

This team in general has a good level, and also has two
special players, midfielder Kim and Cha up front.

Kim and Cha possess the Twin Shoot with which they can score very
easily. For that reason it is ideal to place the Tachibana brothers
in central defense. You can also locate one of the Tachibana brothers
with Misugi in the same position. Both ways can prevent a move by
these two South Korean players.

Anyway, it is better to keep the ball from reaching
these players, so you have to use Press or Counter.

In my opinion the more dangerous of the two is Cha because, aside from
having Twin Shoot, he has the special Goin na Dribble with which
he can easily get rid of his markers.

The other players should also all be marked with the
defensive weapons you have.

To score you will not have many difficulties if you use the best
shots in your repertoire, that is the Twin Shoot of Tsubasa and Misaki, Eagle
Shot of Matsuyama, Hyper Overhead of Misugi, Hyuga's Neo Tiger Shot,
Tsubasa's Drive Overhead Kick, Skylab Twin Shoot and Jumping Volley Shoot.

Otherwise you can use your best special shot in 1-on-1 and can also
dribble past the goalkeeper with Tsubasa's Heel Lift.

Japan vs. Vasco da Gama

Special players: None

Strategy:

This game will be very easy and you can score a goal
with any kind of shot, special or not.

Use all your players in this match so that they can climb
levels. Otherwise you will have problems in the upcoming matches.

Friendly matches

Japan vs. Poland

Special players:

11-Macher
GK-Dzajic: Rolling Save

Strategy:

The difficulty is back again. Macher does not have a
Special, but he has an enormous speed and will come to
your goal very quickly. He has good dribbling and tries to beat
your goalkeeper. You should always choose to stop his dribbles,
then you can stop it at times.

Macher also has good volleys and headers, which will be
quite dangerous. The best you can do is locate the Tachibana
brothers or one of them with Misugi in defense so you can
prevent him scoring many goals.

Another important player on this team is the goalkeeper Dzajic,
who has a special save called Rolling Catch.

To score, the best you can do is face the keeper in a 1-on-1.
There, you can use the Heel Lift or Drive Shoot with Tsubasa,
Tiger Shot or Neo Tiger Shot with Hyuga and the Eagle Shot with
Matsuyama.

If you have the opportunity to use the Through command,
which unbalances the goalkeeper, once you're done use the
strongest shots you have.

Japan vs. England

Special players:
09-Lorimer
04-Robson

Strategy:
This game will be easier than the last, but not that easy
since the English have in their ranks two good players:
Lorimer and Robson.

Lorimer has no special techniques but undoubtedly is a
excellent striker, since not only are his dribbles good,
but he also has strong shots both on the ground and in the air.

Robson is the English central defender who is able to stop
any type of pass or shot that crosses his path.

The English goalkeeper is not hard to beat, just use your team's
stronger shots and you'll get good results.

If you have difficulty, the Neo Tiger Shot is a guaranteed goal
1-on-1.

You can also try to dribble round the goalkeeper with Tsubasa's
Heel Lift or try to unbalance the goalkeeper with the Through command.

From now on you'll want to avoid being marked by the
opposing players since they are several levels above
yours.

Japan vs. USSR

Special players:

09-Belyaev
GK-Lashin: Bunshin Save

Strategy:

The Soviet team will be as difficult as that of Poland, as they have
in their ranks a very good striker called Belyaev and a goalkeeper
called Lashin.

Belyaev is a striker with a very dangerous header and volley.
For him you should put a good central defenders with the Tachibana
brothers, or one of them supported by Jun Misugi.

Prevent the ball from reaches this dangerous player by using
Counter or Press as defensive tactics.

The other major player is the Soviet goalkeeper
Lashin, who has a special save. In this case, use the same
tactic we used against Dzajic i.e. use the Heel Lift or
Drive Shoot with Tsubasa and Hyuga's Neo Tiger Shot in 1-on-1.

If Tsubasa and Hyuga have low guts and you need to score,
you can also use the Eagle Shot of Matsuyama in 1-on-1.
You can also unbalance the goalkeeper using the Through command to
then shoot with the strongest shots of the best players on
your team.

Japan vs. France

Special players:

10-Elle-Sid Pierre: Eiffel KÃ´geki, Slider Cannon Twin Shoot and Slider Shoot
09-Louis NapolÃ©on: Eiffel KÃ´geki, Goin na Dribble, Cannon Shoot and Slider
Cannon Twin Shoot

Strategy:

A tough game in which we find two excellent players: Pierre and Napoleon.

NapolÃ©on is a striker who has Goin na Dribble with which he can
blow away markers. He also has his powerful special shot
called Cannon Shoot with which he can score with relative
ease.

Pierre is the master and axis of the French team who has a
shot called Slider Shoot, which will be really annoying.

Besides having individual techniques Pierre and Napoleon also have
two techniques in which they demonstrate the power of their combined game.
The first technique is a succession of passes with called Eiffel KÃ´geki
which can easily get to our area, to use the second technique
which is an air shot called Slider Cannon Twin Shoot, which is practically
impossible to contain.

The other players can be a hassle if they make
aerial shots. In that case you can only clear shots
and hope to get lucky that the ball reaches you.
However if they shoot on the ground,it is best to
try to catch the ball instead of punching it,
especially if Pierre and Napoleon are already in the area.

Luckily the French goalkeeper will not be a problem. Use
Tsubasa, Hyuga, Misaki, Misugi and Matsuyama's special shots.
You can even dribble past the French goalkeeper with Tsubasa's
Heel Lift.

When you have taken an advantage, or if your best players have all
already attacked, make time until one of your players has regained
their guts, or until the end of the game.

To keep the ball as long as possible, you can use
the bug of the Golden Combi as mentioned previously.

The key point in this game is to steal the ball before Pierre or
NapolÃ©on are in your area. If you do this, the game is not that
complicated after all. It's more feasible to stop Pierre's
Slider Shoot or Napoleon's Cannon Shoot rather than the
combination of both.

Japan vs. Mexico

Special players:

10-EspaÃ±a

Strategy:

The only annoyance of the Mexican team is striker EspaÃ±a who has no
special techniques but has dangerous shots, volleys and headers.

The goalkeeper and other players will not be a problem but with the
difference in levels it is better to use your most powerful shots.

If you want to avoid problems you can try to beat the Mexican
goalkeeper 1-on-1 using the Neo Tiger Shot with Hyuga or the
Heel Lift with Tsubasa.

If you beat the French team you will not have problems in this
game. Just keep using the tips from previous matches.

Note that there are other games which have similar strategies.

Japan vs. Italy

Special players:

09-Lampion: Rocket Head
GK-HernÃ¡ndez

Strategies:

In the ranks of the Italian team is the forward Lampion who, as
already know, has a very powerful special header that is quite
dangerous.

The major problem in this game is that goalkeeper Hernandez
has no special saves but his ability to stop shots is
amazing. You can beat him using the Neo Tiger Shot in 1-on-1
or you can also unbalance the goalkeeper using the Through command
before finally using your more powerful special shots.

You can also use the Heel Lift with Tsubasa where you can get
Hernandez to deflect it and leave his goal unguarded for a rebound.
While using the Heel Lift is an economical method,
it is very risky because you risk a counterattack trying it.
I recommend using this only when really necessary.

Japan vs. Holland

Special players:

09-Islas: Kosoku Dribble and Overhead Kick
04-Libuta: Power Tackle and Power Block

Strategy:

Holland has very good players. Among them is Islas who
has a special dribble called Kosoku Dribble, which is practically
unstoppable. Apart from this move he also has the Overhead Kick.
For that reason, prevent the ball from reaching him.

Libuta is a very strong defender who you can not pass with anybody.
Avoid facing him.

To beat the Dutch goalkeeper you just have to be persistent and
use the best shots in your repertoire.

If you want to get a sure goal, use the Neo Tiger Shot
1-on-1 with the goalie. I also encourage you to use the Heel Lift
with Tsubasa in the same situation.

Japan vs. Argentina

Special players:

11-Alan Pascal: Argentina Golden Combi
10-Juan Diaz: Drive Shoot, Overhead Kick, Zenten Shoot and Argentina Golden
Combi
09-SatrÃºstegui: Dynamite Head
08-Babington
04-Galvan: Power Tackle and Power Block

Strategy:

This game is quite difficult as Argentina is led by
football genius Juan Diaz.

But our team has a new special, which is Tsubasa's new
shot called Cyclone Shoot, which is the most
powerful shot in the game. The first time you use it
will be an automatic goal...better save it for the following matches
unless you do not have another option.

Back to the subject. Juan Diaz has very effective special shots
such as Overhead Kick, Drive Shoot and Zenten Shoot. He also has
the ability to increase his speed and dribbling, being able to dribble
past all your players, including the goalkeeper...some say this is the
picture of Diego Maradona.

Apart from this he also has the Argentina Golden Combi which is a
combination of passes with teammate Alan Pascal.

Another important player is Diaz's team mate Alan Pascal who uses the
Golden Combi of Argentina combined with Diaz, but this is not the only
thing that makes it important. He is also very good with shooting, volleys
and headers.

Galvan is the defender of the team. His special techniques are very effective.
It's not the best idea to confront him. You also have to prevent him being in
the path of your shots because he will stop them very easily. SatrÃºstegui
is a player you already know caused you problems with his Dynamite Head.

Finally we have Babington who you had the opportunity to
use in SÃ£o Paulo. But for this game, he's improved a lot and
even he is able to score a few goals.

The good thing about this game is that Argentina does not have a very skilled
goalie so there will be no problems beating him with strong shots from
Tsubasa, Hyuga, Misaki and Misugi.

If you want to avoid difficulties you can ensure about three goals
by using the Neo Tiger Shot in 1-on-1s.

You can also try using the Heel Lift with Tsubasa 1-on-1.

As I have already mentioned this game is quite complicated, so you'd
better use all the moves you've learned previously.

Japan vs. West Germany

Special players:

11 Karl-Heinz Schneider: Fire Shot and Overhead Kick
10-Schester
09-Margas
08-Hermann Kaltz: Harinezumi Dribble
07-Kapellomann: Sidewinder
05-Metza: Top Spin Pass
GK-Deuter MÃ¼ller

Strategy:

The German team is a formidable team as it has many
excellent players.

In goal is MÃ¼ller, a giant goalkeeper who will be very difficult to
overcome.

What you can do to score is use the Cyclone Shoot with Tsubasa,
preferably in the air and close to the goal. Another
way is to use Hyuga's Neo Tiger Shot in a 1-on-1.
You can unbalance the goalkeeper using the Through command too, to
make some more powerful special shots.

Metza, Kaltz and Kapellomann are players who you've already had the opportunity
to face them so I will not go into describing them
because these players perform virtually the same functions
they did at their club. Schester and Margas are players who do not have
a special technique but who will be quite troubling with their
constant shots on your goal.

Lastly is Karl-Heinz Schneider who is able to score easily
with his volleys or with his special techniques, which are
Overhead Kick and Fire Shot. The latter will be used with great regularity
so it is advisable to have Ishizaki near the player to
to block that shot with Ganmen Block.

Be careful when you go into the match as Schneider will increase his speed
and ability if his team is losing. If you want to save yourself problems
in this situation, mark him with players with special defensive techniques
so you can stop him before he's too close to your goal.

If you want to mark him in any situation, use the Tiger Tackle with Hyuga
against Schneider. It will almost certainly do some damage.

In this game you have to do everything possible to make sure Schneider and
Kapellomann do not have the ball in their possession. This way you can claim
a positive result using the tips here. This will be crucial for victory.

Japan vs. Brazil

Special players:

11-Ney: Kieru Feint and Booster Shoot
10-Riberio (1st half): Banana Shoot
10-Arthur Antines Coimbra (2nd half): Overhead Kick and Mach Shoot
09-Carlos Santana: Bunshin Dribble, Overhead Kick and Mirage Shoot
08-Toninho: Drive Shoot
07-Zagallo: Double Eel and Goin na Dribble
06-Santamaria: Banana Shoot
05-Dilceu: Cannon Head, Power Tackle and Power Block
04-Amaral
03-Doutor
02-GetÃºlio: Drive Shoot
GK-Elzo Gertis: Dark Illusion

Strategy:

Finally, you've reached the final match of this game, where you
will face the powerful Brazilians.

This party is going to be extremely difficult because Brazil has
eleven excellent players who you know most of from the Rio Cup.

Guarding the Brazilian goal is Gertis, who has a
special save with which he can stop any shot.
Therefore it is recommended you use Cyclone Shot with Tsubasa
to score, preferably with a clear goal, after
unbalancing the opposing goalie with the through command or in a 1-on-1.

To score you can also use the Neo Tiger Shot with Hyuga
in a 1-on-1 against Gertis. However you should use
this move only when you have no guts with Tsubasa to use your
Cyclone Shoot.

Brazil's defense is comprised of players who met in the
Rio Cup. They are Getulio, Doutor, Amaral and Dilceu then the
midfield, Santamaria, Toninho and Riberio.

Santamaria will be responsible for performing corner kicks. Riberio
will not get into the game much, but when it he does he'll cause danger
to your goal. Finally, Toninho has a habit of firing his Drive Shoot
when you feels cornered by your players. That should be harnessed as it is
the only shot you'll have a chance to stop, so I advise you to corner
him when he receives the ball in midfield. This way we can stop his shots more
ease. After, you should make a counter which you shouldn't miss.

The front of the Brazilian team has the most dangerous
opponents we had in the Rio Cup. They are Zagallo, who you already know
is able to knock down anyone who stands in their way
using its Goin na Dribble andDouble Eel, Ney who is
unbeatable with his individualist plays, and finally Santana
whose special plays, Overhead Kick and Mirage Shoot, are well
beyond stoppable for you.

But this is not the only worry. Because in the second half
Riberio is switched for Arthur Antines Coimbra, who is an extremely fast
player and has two special techniques which are
Overhead Kick and Mach Shoot. The latter is an unstoppable shot
which travels at an enormous rate, so much so that it is able to disappear
momentarily from view. A short cutscene with your goalkeeper even appears
showing him observing the powerful shot.

Well, this game is quite difficult to win, especially if you
got here without losing. However, I will give you some tips that
you have to use if you want to win this match with as little
mishaps as possible.

For defense you can put the Tachibana brothers as central
defenders.

You can also put one supported by Jun Misugi or Ryo
Ishizaki.

Ishizaki is always key in games where you face players
with special shots on the ground, because you can save yourselves from
those using his Ganmen Block.

Streamline your guts, especially Tsubasa and Hyuuga since
they will be the only ones able to score to Brazil's goalkeeper.

Use Kamisori Pass with Soda as much as you can, but avoid passing the ball
near a Brazilian player.

If Hyuuga and Tsubasa are already extremely tired, it's better to keep
the ball until they are recharged.

To keep the ball as long as possible you could use the bug with the
Golden Combi, but using only Misaki who will not do much otherwise
in this game other than maintaining control of the game.

When you want to go 1-on-1 and you have several Brazilian defenders around
you, use the bug that allows you to move without being marked.

Pierre's Slider Shoot and Napoleon's Cannon Shoot, to make a
virtually unstoppable shot.

Argentina Golden Combi: In this play, Pascal and Diaz perform
successive 1-2s to attack.

Zenten Shoot: This is a special shot used by Argentine Juan Diaz. In
this impressive move, Diaz leaps at the ball like he will volley.
However, at the end, he makes a somersault in the air and then hits
the ball in the middle of it.

Fire Shot: This is a powerful shot by Karl-Heinz
Schneider. The Fire Shot is a shot in which the ball carries a
tremendous strength and rotation, making it appear to burn.

Mach Shoot: This powerful shot is considered one of the best in the
game and is used only by Arthur Antines Coimbra. The Mach
Shot is a shot with a strong vibratory effect and a tremendous speed
which causes the ball to disappear from view of the goalkeeper.

Dark Illusion Catch: By far the best special save, Gertis can use it to
stop any shot, even Cyclone and Drive Tiger Twin Shoot.

Cyclone (400): This shot is learned by Tsubasa after playing
the match against the Dutch national team. The Cyclone becomes a
improved version of Drive Shoot, where the ball, apart from having the same

power, also carrying a strong rotating effect.

called Mighty Bomb Jack who will celebrate by the victory of SÃ£o Paulo.

-Nankatsu versus Toho

Press Down + B instead of the A button once the commentator finishes his
second dialogue.

If the trick was done correctly, Mighty Bomb Jack will appear
and celebrate the victory of Nankatsu, then suddenly
fly and fall on the commentator's head.

-Japan Versus West Germany

Press Down + B instead of the A button once the speaker finishes his
fourth dialogue.

If the trick was done correctly, you will see a short cutscene
where Tsubasa has a conversation with Schneider.

This password is for the same game as the above password, but with
a very high level.

> Special techniques:

Drive Tiger Twin Shoot:

The Drive Tiger Twin Shoot is the most powerful shot in the game,
where, obviously, Tsubasa and Hyuga combine their Drive Shoot and Tiger Shot
and therefore shot with an extremely high power and effect.
It is virtually impossible to block for opposing goalkeepers.

To make this shot, you have to make the rival goalkeeper
catch or divert one of our shots at a time where
Tsubasa and Hyuga are near each other, on the same vertical line, one
alongside the other.

If done properly, a cutscene shows with Tsubasa's face, where he is angered.
After that happens, give Tsubasa the ball and select this powerful shot in
his shooting options.

You only have a short 4 minutes to use this secret
shot. After that shot, it just disappears from
Tsubasa's shooting options.

You also have to keep the ball on the ground, else it will also cancel the
shot.

The likelihood of this shot appearing is 1 to 8.

This technique is only used by Tsubasa and costs 200 guts.

Critical punch and catch:

The critical punch and catch can be identified by if extra
letters appear before the word 'catch' or 'punch'. When it happens,
your goalkeepers has a better chance to save than they normally do.

Apparently, you have a very high chance of getting a critical save
if, at a free-kick, you guess the correct direction of a shot. This
rule only applies in this Tsubasa game, incidentally.

All keepers in the game can get criticals, although
only Wakabayashi, Wakashimazu and Morisaki have a special
cutscene when they get one.

Notably, Wakabayashi has a much higher chance to get a critical,
and he has a special cutscene when he gets one. This can help
massively in later games.

Critical tackle:

Critical tackles can be identified if letters appear before the word
'tackle'. This makes your tackle more powerful than normal.

Critical tackles seem to happen most often when you 'guess' the direction
an opponent is dribbling when you mark him and are facing him. It won't
always work though.

If a player with a 'face' cutscene gets a critical tackle, an extra cutscene
with them will appear for a short time just they use the tackle.

Critical shots, volleys and headers:

Critical shots make your shots become more powerful and therefore more
dangerous.

Critical shots appear very rarely and seem to depend on
the current situation in the game.

Rebounds and off-the-line clearances:

These moves often come down to chance, but
we can force them to happen quite often.

When you make a shot, try to have another player within the opponent's area.
If your shot comes off the post, the other player will score from the
rebound.

Similarly, before a shot is made that can beat your goalkeeper, put one or more
defenders in your area.

If you're lucky one of the defenders will come out of nowhere
and clear the ball off the line and save you from conceding a
virtually certain goal.

Value:

Keep in mind the following:

Level to be = L

Value of first digit = V1

Value of second digit = V2

So:

L = 16 * V1 + V2

Example 1:

I want to have a Level 99 player at number 7

99 = 16 * V1 + (V2 + 1)

V1 = 6

V2 = 2

Address: 034B

Value: 62

Do not forget that:

V1: This value is the nearest multiple of 16 that is lower than the
level you want. In this example, 96 is the closest multiple of 16
to the level we want, which is 99.

V2: This is the remainder of the value you need to get the
level you want.

Example 2:

I want to have Level 63 player number 8:

63 = 16 * V1 + (V2 + 1)

V1 = 3

V2 = 15 (as this is a hexadecimal system, use the letter F to get 15)

Address: 0357

Value: 3E

Remember that in the hexadecimal system:

10 = A
11 = B
12 = C
13 = D
14 = E
15 = F

Note 1:

Going over level 99 may cause some glitches.

Note 2:

Although the hexadecimal values equal 99 and 63 here, that is not the value
you put down, because you put in the formula of "L". What happens is that if
you put V1 and V2 to the value of 0 then your level will be 1, which makes
the formula L = 16 * V1 + V2 + 1, not L = 16 * V1 + V2 as it would otherwise
be.

> Tips:

- Add levels continuously without losing a match:

The only way to accomplish this is by having players have very
good performances in every game either scoring a few goals,
making assists or scoring against the star player of the opposing team.

It is virtually impossible to continuously make the levels of all the
team's players rise, but what you can do is choose
certain players who will be key throughout the game.

Those players you have chosen should always end with
low guts if they want good results.

Although it is difficult to do, you can also make your goalkeeper
continuously increase, but to do this you have to keep the opposing team
shooting until your goalkeeper is exhausted. If if you're going to do this
make sure you do not harm your attempt to go unbeaten for the whole game.

- Add two levels in one game:

This can only be done in the SÃ£o Paulo vs. Corinthians or the
Sao Paulo vs. Gremio match.

To achieve this, you have to score six goals with the players
you want to level up.

If you achieve this feat, once you've finished the match the players who
managed it go up two levels.

Doing this with all the players on your team is really
impossible, so it's best to focus on two players at most.

You can't make this happen after the Gremio match. This can only be done once,
and in these matches.

- The Golden Combi bug:

To use this bug, you have to locate Tsubasa or Misaki on the very end of the
opposing team's half, i.e. the places marked 'X' on this diagram of the
field.

----------------------
X|

| X|
| ----
| | |_
| | | |
| | |_|
| | |
| ----
| X|
| X|
--------
X|
X|
----------------------

Once there, use the Golden Combi.

Surprisingly, the player who uses the Golden Combi appears at the end of
your own half, right in the same line you were located before using the
combination.

Using this combination, you can maintain control of the ball for a long
time which can also help us to organise a 'counterattack'
from your defense.

The reason for this appears to be that, when calculating where a 1-2 will
eventually end up on the field, the Golden Combi is strong enough to make
the position value underflow, meaning the game places you on the other
side. Notably, the Gemini Attack is not strong enough to do this and
simply keeps you on the end of the opponent's half.

Because of the way 1-2s work, it's difficult to run into this by accident,
unless you use it as a way to get away from a defender (plausible with
Misaki, to be fair), which is probably why the programmers never noticed
it...

- Bug to advance without being marked:

This bug can be of great help, as you can move forward
to where you want without the fear that an opposing player
will mark you.

To perform this bug, take one step, then press the B button,
then choose the option of Dribble. Repeat until you're where
you want to be.

This bug will help you, more than anything, to go into 1-on-1s
against the goalkeeper, because usually there will be many defenders in the
way of the goal who'll try to take away the ball before you get to the
oppnsing goalkeeper.

Deep passes:

In this game there is no offside rule which is very
beneficial to you.

Therefore deep passes will be very helpful to
make counterattacks.

In these cases, you simply have to place the cursor in
a position in which your player is closest to the ball.

The following diagram will show you a classic example so you have
an idea of â€‹â€‹what I'm explaining.

-----------------------------
|
|
E |
|
|
------|
E _ | |_
X------|_| | | |
/ | | |
/ | | |
E / | |_|
/ | |
/ | |
/ ------|
O |
E |
-----------------------------

Legend:

O: your player with ball.
X: your player receiving the ball.
E: opposing players.

As you can see, the pass cursor is not in the position of
the player, because passing straight to that same player
runs the risk of having the pass cut. Place the cursor on
a blank area, but in a place where your player is
the first player to reach that point.

Bear in mind that the player who gets to the ball first is the
one whose starting position is the shortest distance from the
pass cursor and therefore the final position of the ball.

The deep pass also serves to prevent opponents marking us,
so you must locate the cursor so it is your player who gets
to the ball first and without any opposing player in the way of the pass.

On several occasions you'll find yourselves in a situation in which you'll
know who pass to. While obviously the opposing players try to cover every
possible space, you can still create chances by knowing how to use
the deep pass.

In this following diagram, you will see that the player in possession of the
ball is in a rather difficult situation, where he has
to pass the ball to his teammate, but can not because he is
covered.

There are several situations like this one in which you have to
use your common sense to see where best to play passes.

-Use of the 1-2:

When you want to use a 1-2 you must consider that when
you use it you move a certain distance so that
the distance between the player starting the 1-2 and the support player
is the same before and after performing this move.

In the chart below you can see in more detail what treatment
explain.

O-----------O
\ / Legend:
\ / O: Player with ball possession.
L \ / L X: Player supporting the 1-2.
\ / L: Distance between players, length of 1-2.
X

When a 1-2 is carried out, you should be careful that
no opposing player crosses the two paths between the players on the
ball during the 1-2.

This must be taken into account because if the player
making the return pass has very low passing skills,
then there is the possibility that such a return
will be cut if an opponent player gets in the way.

The following diagram will show what not to do on a 1-2.

O-----------O
\ / Legend:
\ / O: Player with ball.
E E X: Player supporting the 1-2.
\ / E: Player of the opposing team.
\ /
X

The 1-2 must always be performed looking to evade players and move down the
field without any problem until the goal.

In the following diagram, I show a very common situation in the game, and
where the 1-2 is used correctly.

E
E O-----------O Legend:
\ E E / O: Player with ball.
\ / X: Player supporting the 1-2.
\ E / E: Player of the opposing team.

Given all these tips, I think it will be easier
to play this great game.
