3.0) Getting Started/Thoughts*
******************************
OK this is my first FAQ so don't expect it to be a piece of art.
I made up most of the names of the moves listed. So if this game
comes out in English, There is a very good chance that the names are
going to be changed and not match with this FAQ.

I will add more things when I get the chance.

The story actually begins years before we first meet Haru - in a climatic
battle of light versus dark, of Rave versus Darkbring. At the time, a man
by the name of Shiba was the Rave Master - the only one who could wield the
magic sword known as the Ten Commandments - fought against the incarnation
of the DarkBring. Bringing the power of Rave to bear, he believed the
DarkBring defeated, only to be proven wrong when his opponent reacted,
destroying a good portion of the planet and sending the various Raves
scattering across the world, along with Shiba and the Rave controller.
(story from Sandrock Productions )

**********************
3.2) Learn the Basics*
**********************
OK now let me tell you what does what and how to do other things....
Now this is a fighting game with a few things different from you basic
fighting game. There is the basic 1 on 1 matches but also there is 1 vs. 2,
2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 1 and free for all. One thing is that you share your life bar
with your opponent. When you hit your opponent, their life starts to shrink
while yours starts to get bigger. In order to win a match, you have to weaken
your opponent and do your finishing move. You can do your finishing move only
when your side of the bar is at least 3/4 full and flashing. If you do your
finishing move 3 times, you automatically win. You can KO them but they will
get up after a short while. Right below the fighter's name is 3 boxes. When you
do a "lock up" move and win, you will get a white dot telling you that you can
power up. When you use a power up, you will lose a dot. Also in order for your
character to use any special moves, they have to have a power piece (Which is
the colored dot below the fighter's name). If your opponent hits you hard
enough, you drop the piece and cant do special or finishing moves. You can
only pick up your own power piece and no one else but you can hit the piece
away from the player to keep an advantage.

*************************
5.0) Strategy/Board Game*
*************************
First you will see A screen with 2 options:

Top - New Game
Bottom - Continue

The you will see this menu along with a chart with all the characters that you
got:
Get monsters | Chose Stage
Change Name | Back to Menu

Now you have to get warriors. Go to the top left button to buy them. On the
left side menu, they show how much they cost (usually, the more its cost,
the better they are) Now go and chose the top Left option to see a list
(your name will be in red). You can chose who you want to fight but it is
usually the next person up the list. Chose your opponent and say yes
(left option) or no (right option). Now you will be taken to a screen where
you can chose your warriors that will be in your team by choosing them in the
box. When you chose a fighter, you will see their name, how many of those
fighters that you got, and dots showing their "Ratio Level" (like in Capcom
vs. Snk) At first you have 5 dots so chose your team wisely. After your done,
you can press the ok button at the left side. After that, you will see what
you are going to go against.

Now when you start, you will see a board. You can move around and find your
opponent and just beat them. When you highlight over your fighter, there is a
small bar next to their name. That bar is their stamina bar. For every battle
they fight, it goes down. The lower the bar, the weaker their moves get. You
begin the fight when you go close to a fighter. If there is more then 1 fighter
near you or your opponent, you may fight in a 2 vs. 2, 1 vs. 2 or a 3 vs. 1
battle. When you fight against the computer, you can not do finishing move and
lock ups. The only way to win is by KO or if you got more life when time runs
out. If your character loses a match you can't use him/her again. At first you
can get weak fighters but later on as you go up the rank, you can get better
fighters and gain your ratio level. But if you lose though, you go back down
the list.

A good strategy to use is to save up money so you can buy better fighters
later on. Also If you are low on money, go back to the easer matches because
if you lose all your fighters and can't buy another one, you have to start all
over from the start. You can also try to keep everyone together so you can have
a better chance of a 2 on 1 battle in your favor.

***********************************
6.0) Codes/Secrets/Cheats and Tips*
***********************************
Beat the Strategy/Board Option to get Lucia and Expert mode.

To get the hidden fighters Gale, King, Ogre and Doryu just beat the Story mode
with everyone in normal difficult a few times.

On Vs. and Training, if you press select, you can randomly chose who you want
to fight against.
