Foreward: Introduction to the FAQ
------------------
I noticed that while most of the critical information has been translated for
this game, no one has compilied it into a single file. I have simply browsed
the forums for the translations, and simply placed them in a single location.
In each section I have tried to list everyone I pulled translations from; if
I missed anyone, please contact me (with a link to the correct message) and I
will add you to the contributors' list.
Finally, I don't actually read any Japanese. I used online translation
software, information from the GameFaqs message board, and best guesses to
create this FAQ. If anything is wrong, please post me a message on the
board or send me an email.

Free play Information [020a]
----------------------------
This section describes how to set up a Free Play fight. This section currently
does not give hints on how to win in Free Play.
Free play - Rule Select Screen 1 [020b]
---------------------------------------
Mode - Battle/VS or Team/Assist
Rule - Free Battle (Each player has a certain no. of lives) or Senriki Battle
(Each person has a certain amount of HP/power)
Rule Details: If you have selected Free Battle, then the default here would be
"Infinite Respawns"; From default, left to right: Infinite Respawns, No
respawn, 1,2,3~8 respawns etc.
If you have selected Senriki Battle (or w/e the proper translation is), then
you can select the amount of HP each player has (I haven't tried this mode
yet, but i assume the numbers are refering to the HP). The default here is
600, and goes up by 100 increments from 100 to 1000, then from there, it
increases by 1000 up to 3000.
Battle Timer: Set time limit for the battle, default is 3 minutes. (1~5, 10,
15, 20 min settings)
Song Select: On or Off.
Large Mechs: On or Off for allowing the use of large sized mechs.
Tune parameter: default is LIMIT, followed by On or Off options.
SP: On or Off. Self-explanatory.
Pilot Skills: On or Off. This one's for skills.
Mech Forms: Here you can set a limit on the form used in battle. Default is
ALL, followed by Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid.
Mission Select: Random; Wasteland/Ruins/Outback; Snowfield; Valley;
Ocean/Sea; Island; Sky/Troposphere/Stratosphere; Not sure about this one;
Urban/City, Skytower - another city stage; Inside the Macross Ship; Inside
of the Vajra Battleship; Comet/Meteor; Space; Space - near Earth; Another
Space stage; Macross 7 Space; Space - Near Jupiter; Space - Near a burning
star; Not sure what to call this one - "enclosed area"?
Press Triangle for details for the map, and Square to change the BGM.
In the BGM select window: Circle to confirm, Triangle to play the song.
On the right side of the screen, in the 'Information' window:
Picture of the stage/level/map, Song name
Weather, and under weather: Time of Day
Next to weather and ToD: Time Limit
Next to TLimit: Level
Under those: small description of the map.
If you see writings in brackets ( ) in the description area, then that means
you can't use large-sized mechs on that map.
Free play - Rule Select Screen 2 [020c]
---------------------------------------
P1, COM1, COM2 and COM3. You can disable the COM players by press left or
right and highlighting 'NO ENTRY'.
Press Circle to go into player settings;
From left to right: Cost (This refers to how much modification has been done
to the mech in the Hangar), picture of the mech, picture of the pilot,
settings:
>Team - Select the teams. A, B, C, or D.
>Mechanic - Default is auto-select, press left or right to navigate and
pick your mech
> Pilot - Pilot select, default should be your main character.
> Level - Level of the player/COM.
Press Square to go into Mech/Pilot/Color Edit window.
Press Circle to confirm your settings.
Also, some mechs have special pilot limitations, so you have to pick the
'right' pilot in order to use that mech. The Fire Valkyrie can only be
piloted by Basara, for example. If you don't know who the right pilot is, in
the pilot selection, just pick 'random' [the one with Japanese writing
instead of the pilot's face, with RANDOM on the bottom. Duh.]
After you've done everything, press Circle to confirm everything, select Yes.
Voila, enjoy your freeplay.

Special Attack Descriptions [070g]
---------------------------------
All ammunition fired - Mecha fires off main weapons and offensive secondary
weapons.
Supplementary Notes
Battroid: Auto-transform to Battroid mode (if not already in Battroid mode),
and fire all weapons. Remain in Battroid after SPA.
Gerwalk: Auto-transform to Gerwalk mode (if not already in Gerwalk mode), and
fire all weapons. Remain in Gerwalk after SPA.
Fighter: Auto-transform to Figher mode (if not alredy in Fighter mode), and
fire all weapons. Remain in Fighter after SPA
Multi-Transform: Auto-transform between all modes and fire all weapons.
Ending mode depends on individual Mecha.
Fight combo - Mecha auto-transforms to either Battroid or Gerwalk mode,
performs a dash to close to hand-to-hand range, and then unleashes a high
damage combo on the enemy. This can continue to additional targets if they
are in range before the SPA finishes and the original target is destroyed.
Ultra-fire - Fires off a massive energy beam that does massive damage to any
enemies in the blast range. Note: SDF-1 Macross, Frontier Battle, and
Geppernich can change the angle of fire; all others are fixed angle of fire
Alter ego - VF-1A Max version and VF-17S Nightmare Valkyries only. This creates
a shadow version of the Valkyrie and performs the same maneuvers that the
original does, but with a slight time delay.
Speed - VF-1J Max Version and VF-27 Lucifer Valkyries only. This allows the
fighter mode to move at a very fast rate - among other things, this is good
for evading missles.
SP Song - VF-11 MAXL Mylene Version and VF-19 Fire Bomber Basara Version
Valkyries only. This causes Speaker pods to be launched at all enemies and
a music attack is perfomed.
Ultra-flame - Tomahawk Destroid only. Many beams are fired while SPA is active.
Angle of fire can be changed slowly and has only a very short range.
Assault - YF-21 Sturmvogel only. This can be used in Fighter mode to ram
through an enemy very quickly while doing massive damage.
? This can also be used in Gerwalk mode to attack multiple enemies?
Ghost Dancing - RVF-25 Messiah Luca Version only. This uses 3 of the X-9 Ghost
automated drones to help attack a nearby target.
Bomb vaporized - SV-51beta Nora version only. This creates a fuel-air bomb that
creates a large explosion capable of causing a 60 hit combo. This bomb also
creates a large smoke screen. (I think)
Dancing tentacles - Bodolza only. Tentacles throughout the body that can be
used to grab ahold of enemies and inflict damage by swinging the enemies
around.
