What is this about?
This is an FAQ for Dodge Danpei II. It contains a walkthrough, a list of all
the players, and some basics on how to play.
"Honoo no Doukyuuji: Dodge Danpei" is supposed to be based on an anime which was
only released in Japan. When I did mild research, it was aired 1991-1992 or
sometime. Koshita Tetsuhiro is the artist, and he draws well. I seriously doubt
I could get a hold of any Danpei DVDs or books, but if I could I'd buy it.

Version History
1.0 - (December 10, 2005) Initial release. I feel it's thorough enough, although
I'm willing to make changes if neccesary. Not sure if there are any
secrets, haven't fully understood Team Plays, nor have I found out what
influences the success rate at the jumping part at the beginning of a
card battle.

MAIN CHARACTERS
These are your main players, and an analysis of their stat growth rates.
....................................Danpei.....................................
The best character by far. His Life, Power, and Shot stats are far superior than
the rest of the players on your team. His Catch, Pass, and Pass Cut aren't too
shabby, but they aren't the best. Use this guy a LOT.
...................................Chinnen.....................................
This little guy has rock-solid defense. His catching and passing skills are
actually better than Danpei's, but his Life and Shot powers are the low. His
Power rating is okay, but nothing to write home about.
....................................Ozaki......................................
Decent all-around player. Most of his stats are alright and his attack power is
passable, but he accels at nothing.
...................................Tsutomu.....................................
Not very useful. He isn't horrible at anything, but his stats are mediocre.
...................................Yuuichi.....................................
A strong player. His catching eventually becomes as strong as Danpei's, and his
other stats are second-best.
....................................Yuuji......................................
Like Yuuichi but not as strong. His Passcut is better than the others, however.
...................................Tsuyoshi....................................
Your worst player. Luckily, for certain battles this guy is temporarily
replaced with someone better.
================================================================================
HOW TO PLAY
There are three modes to choose from. There's "Legend of the Fire Shot", which
is basically the story mode, and what the walkthrough covers. You can have up to
three data files, and you can see how much time you spent on that file. They
automatically save after every battle, and you can choose to delete these files.
It will take at least 10 hours to beat the game.
The second mode is basically the card battle versus game. You can even have two
players play at the same time! You can choose from Tamagawa, Saint Arrows, Black
Armors, Arasaki, Kazama, or World Stars.
The third mode, Taiman Dodge, is pretty much a fighting game for one or two
players. Danpei and Taiga go one-on-one chasing each other and hitting each
other with a dodgeball.
In the Legend of the Fire Shot, you walk around left and right like in a common
platformer game. Press A to jump and B to throw your ball. It's pointless to
throw the ball, except to amuse yourself if you hit yourself when it bounces
into you. To enter doors or gates, press up to do so. The up button also picks
up items or talks to characters. Searching with the up button or jumping on
certain things will cause coins to spring out, which can be used to buy powerups
before battles. I haven't understood how the powerups work. After every battle,
whether you win or lose, your players will gain a level and therefore become
slightly stronger.
Taiman Dodge is fairly simple. A to jump, B to throw or catch the ball. The
timing for catching is pretty tricky unless you practice. Like in other fighting
games, you must deplete your opponent's life meter, and win twice.
Now for the most important part of the game: Card Battles. At the start of the
round, you choose one card and press up to confirm. If your player is better in
a certain category (not sure what influences success rate of the jumping part)
and your card is higher, you'll get the ball. If you run out of time and the
game is a tie, you'll do this part again, with your remaining players, who won't
be rejuvenated for that time.
---Offense
Choose Shot or Super to attack a player. Then you choose the cards you want,
ranging from numbers 1 through 5. Higher cards are more effective, and if you
have more than one of the same card, you can choose multiple of them (up to 3
cards is allowed), which will require more cards used for defense.
---Defense
Similar to offense. Higher number cards are more effective, and same cards can
be stacked. Matching cards (such as a 3 and a 3) are more effective than mixed
cards (such as a 2 and a 4). There are three ways to defend yourself: Catch is
basically your catch. Dodge reduces the damage you take, but the enemy will have
the ball again. I haven't understood Team Play. I'm guessing another player will
run in front of the ball to save the other player.
Special cards show up occasionally in battle.
Heart: Player of choice regains 10 Life points.
Arrow: You switch three cards. This is a double-edged sword, as it can work for
or against you, although it usually is good.
Logo: Hard to describe. I'm guessing it's a wild card, when chosen, equals the
other's card(s).
The stats are the following:
Life: Basically how much damage a player can take before he gets hit. If he
has enough life to survive an attack, he'll catch or dodge the attack, but
he'll get hit if he runs out of life.
Power: Stamina. Each throw or catch uses up a little power. Super shots are no
exception. If you don't have enough power, you can't throw the ball at
anyone and you'll have to pass to someone who has enough power. Power
refills slowly they aren't doing anything.
Shot: Attack power. Higher scores inflict more damage.
Catch: Defense power. Higher scores reduces damage you take.
Pass: Lowers chances of an opposing Passcut.
Passcut: Determines success rate of intercepting passes.
================================================================================
HINTS AND TIPS
-Try butchering the players with the worst defense first. Later in the game it's
much easier to win by having more players standing when the timer runs out, and
defeating every player doesn't happen very often late in the game.
-Pass to Danpei often. When you have a 5 card, do so and have him attack.
Otherwise, (or if he doesn't have much power left) rely on Yuuichi or Yuuji.
-Usually, if you attack someone and their Catch is higher than your Shot, you'll
inflict no damage unless their cards are lower than yours.
-Don't use the wild cards for offense. They're more useful for defense or
intercepting passes.
================================================================================
THE WALKTHROUGH
Believe it or not, but the very beginning takes the most time of any section in
this game. At any rate, go right and talk to Misato. Go through where she was
standing and go right and talk to Tsutomu, who is standing at the gate to the
park. Go right and through the gates. Go right and enter the first door you see.
Chinnen is there, and you're taken to Oshou. Leave and go back to Tsutomu. Enter
the park and go right, talking to Souma. He'll tell you to get more members
before he'll play. Leave and go left. Return to where the game began, go left of
there and through the gate. You'll see your school. Go to the gate and Danpei
will make a funny face. Anyways, go to the third floor. To the left is the
bathroom. Go to the men's restroom and Ozaki will be in the stall (you can't
see him) and he'll get startled. He'll order you to go downstairs to the first
floor and fetch him a box of tissues. You can find these in the room all the way
on the right on the first floor. Jump up and pick the box up. Return to the
bathroom on the third floor and Ozaki will thank you. Leave the school building
and go to the left. Enter the construction site where Yuuichi and Yuuji will
join you. Return to Souma in the park for your first battle.
Battle 1: Blue Hurricanes
Your first battle isn't too hard. These guys have no super shots, fair attack
power, and their defense ranges from fair to poor.
================================================================================
After the battle, you're taken to a stadium. Enter the gates, then go right to
the fifth door. You'll find Arashi and Takayama (the two star players for the
Black Armors) and Rikuou (the strongest player at Arasaki) will show up. After
some talking, a tournament begins. You're up against the following teams in any
order: Stealth Fighters, Saint Arrows, Black Armors, and Arasaki. Let's get an
overview of each team.
Battle 2: Stealth Fighters
Like the Blue Hurricanes, but a possibly a tad better. They can take more abuse,
although their attack power is pretty bad and they have no special skills. This
shouldn't be too much a problem.
Battle 3: Saint Arrows
This is the first time you'll see the opposition use Super Shots. Their stats
are decent, but nothing to worry about. The difficulty level picks up from here.
Battle 4: Black Armors
Now TWO players on the other team have super shots! Chances are you'll have to
repeat this battle at least once or twice. They also have decent stats.
Battle 5: Arasaki
Good offense, weak defense. Rikuou is the only one who has a decent catching
ability, and the others only have single-digit numbers in their Catch category.
Just beware of Rikuou, but otherwise you'll be fine.
You've won the first tournament! Or have you?! A random guy, Jingai, will show
up and challenge you.
Battle 6: Ma
Don't be fooled by Jingai's awesome stats. The rest of his team, although having
lots of life, has below-average stats, and nobody has a super shot. Not only
that, but you'll have the help of Rikuou! If you're not careful you might lose,
but otherwise this isn't as hard as you might think.
================================================================================
After the tournament, you're back at school. Go to the far right and enter the
small building. Talk to your coach Mikasa (is he named after the brand of sports
equipment? hehe). Leave and go way to the left and enter a basketball gym. Jump
over the padding and to the right and talk to Yukari (the leader of the girls'
basketball team). Go to the left and jump over the pads again to leave. Go to
the right, to the dodgeball court and talk to Ozaki. Return to Yukari to fight.
Battle 7: Basketball
Is it just me, or does Yukari look strangely alot like Ranma (a character in a
different anime)? Anyways, this battle may or may not be lost once or twice.
Their attack power ranges from above-average to horrid, and their defense is
average. Note that Tsuyoshi is replaced with Misato for this battle.
================================================================================
When they're defeated, leave the basketball gym, go somewhat to the right and
enter the main building. Go to the second floor. You'll see a guy in the
hallway. He won't say much for now, so go to Room 4. Talk to Sakaya in there. Go
downstairs, to Mikasa (he was in the location he was previously). Talk to him
and return to the second floor of the main building. Talk to the guy who was
standing in the hallway. His name is Sakamaki. He'll replace Tsuyoshi for the
next two battles. Leave the main building and go to the dodgeball court. Talk to
the guy there. His name is Kanou, and he'll teach you how to use the Fire Shot.
He'll also challenge you to a fight.
Battle 8: Legend 7
This is one of the hardest battles in my opinion. I had to repeat it quite often
because Kanou tends to mow down your team and his defense is very high. As for
the other members, their stats a decent but not perfect. Good luck with this
one, you'll certainly need it.
After that, Kanou will challenge you to a rematch. Argh!
Battle 9: Legend 7
Exactly the same as the previous battle, but barely easier since your stats will
have improved slightly.
================================================================================
Thank God that's over with. Go to the second floor of the main building and find
Sakaya again. Talk to her and you're taken outside. You'll see a short cinema of
a dodgeball being thrown at Danpei, and Danpei catches it in time. Taiga, who
previously played for the Saint Arrows, will come dressed nicely in a suit. He
will take you to a second tournament. You'll fight the following teams: Black
Armors, Arasaki, Kazama, and World Stars.
Battle 10: Black Armors
Moderately difficult. Their stats are alright and they can hit decently hard,
but this isn't anything that will whiten your hair.
Battle 11: Arasaki
Very much like the first time you fought Arasaki. Good offense, weak defense.
Rikuou will be your main problem, because he can knock you out in 1-3 hits.
Battle 12: Kazama
Sakamaki will show up and join your team for this battle. Even with his help,
this team is pretty tough. Their defense is good and Godai is very strong.
Battle 13: World Stars
Not as hard as you might think. Their attack power is great and their life is
high, but their defense is averaged out to be mediocre.
================================================================================
You're about to win a trophy. There's also a cement sphere. You'll see a cinema
of Danpei using his Fire Shot to break it open. A scroll is inside, but some
guy named Raiga will show up and try to steal it. He'll goad you to the final
fight. You'll have Taiga's help.
Final Battle (a.k.a. Battle 14): Ma
Very, very difficult. Raiga's stats are all awesome (his attack power is even
maxed out!) and his God Crusher Shot will hose you if you're not prepared.
Jingai is back, with the same stats as the first time. The others have good
attack power and plenty of life. Their defense, however, is average at best.
================================================================================
Enjoy the ending! It isn't anything spectacular, but there are several anime
drawings which are pretty good. Other than that, I won't spoil it.
