by Rey Albert Pilaro

Final Version

UPDATE CHANGES:
01/02/2004
- Made a little change on the FAQ.  This is the final draft.

8/9/2002
- Spell checks for all Gundam pilots, names, etc.

7/26/02
- The Gundam Altron has 2 Beam Trident attacks.  The first one mentioned was
 that he jumps first then hits an enemy to the ground.  The 2nd attack is that
 he swings his trident to the enemy on the ground.  Spelling corrections also
 made throughout the FAQ.
- Thanks to Craig Allen for correcting Hygogg's Gundam series appearance.


INTRODUCTION
============
       Gundam Battle Assault 2 is the sequel to last year's Battle Assault.
Unlike the original, Battle Assault 2 will consist of 30 Mobile Suits in 3
Gundam universes - Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam Wing and G-Gundam.  Gundam first
hit American airwaves in 2000 with the popular Gundam Wing, then in 2001 with
the original Gundam and in 2002 with G-Gundam.  The game begins in Street Mode
with 5 MS and 12 in Versus Modes.  The key here is to unlock the remaining 18 MS
throughout the game when meeting certain conditions.

As Domon Kasshu of G-Gundam, your mission is to search your brother who is
infected by the DG Cells.

Heero Yuy is back with his allies on Gundam Wing with their custom-made MS from
the movie, Endless Waltz.

Then, as Amuro Ray, your mission is to eliminate the principality of Zeon.

Now, let the Gundam fight begin!


CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
====================
Up, Down, Left, Right - Directional buttons
R1 - Thrusters
Square - Weak Punch
X button - Weak Kick
Triangle - Strong Punch
Circle - Strong Kick
Start - Pause (reset to Title or MS Select)


GAME BASICS
===========
THRUSTERS - Press R1 to use the Thrusters.
DODGE - Press any 2 buttons to dodge an enemy attack.
VERNIER - Press Down, Toward + R1 to hover your MS.  You cannot block while
         using this, however.
STUN ATTACK - Toward + Triangle to stun an enemy in mere moments.  You have to
             get close to do it.
DASH - Dash Back or Toward twice.
DEFENSE - Press the directional button in the opposite direction of an enemy.
You cannot defend if an enemy uses a Beam Saber or Heat-related attacks.
MEGA SPECIAL ATTACK - Down, Toward + any 2 buttons that will unleash a Special
                     move.


GAME SCREEN
===========
The Game Screen will show what you see during battle on top of the screen:
THRUSTER GAUGE - This gauge will not be in use if it's empty, but will replenish
                to full in moments (blue).
AMMO COUNTER - Most MS will have an Ammo Counter to use a Special Attack.  When
              it reaches "0", it cannot be used again until the next battle (in
              numbers).
ARMOR GAUGE - The first MS to lose all 3 Gauges will lose (starts with green).
             Giant-sized MS (like Big-Zam and Neue Ziel) will have 4 or 5 of
             them intact.
MEGA SPECIAL ATTACK AMMO - You will be used only 3 Mega Special Attacks in every
                          battle.  Use them wisely if you want to use them
                          (red).

OTHER THINGS & HINTS

 and the armor's color will change in battle.
- Using Dodge and Shield action will cost you your Thruster Gauge.  So keep that
 in mind when you use it.
- In Survival Mode, if one of your Armor gauge is depleted, it will not recover
 again.  Also, if your Mega Special Attack is used, it will recover one at the
 time for each battle.
- If you fall to the ground, the enemy will have the advantage of hitting you.
 To recover quickly from falling, press the R1 button to regain your MS.
