A.1 Update Info
Version 0.2 Started on Dec. 29. Almost new years day. Whoop-dee-doo.
Made game info. And started MS Data.
Version 0.8 Funny how much you can do in just 1 day. Ya, I did almost everything in
one day. Considering this is my first time writing a FAQ.
A.2 Game info.
The year is 0092. Advances in human technology have transformed the world.
Mankind has built colonies in which they reside. But with peace comes-
Doubt, disbelief, and eventually war. A group of colonies (similar to Axis)
Have named them Zion. Fearing Zion, they have built " Mobile Suits", giant
Robots capable of destroying anything in their path. Fortunately, they were used
for good. The first Mobile Suits were called GMs. They stood for general machines.
But plans for Mobile Suits leaked into the Zionists. They created Zakus; one-eyed
Mobile Suits carrying beam machine guns. They say, "If you look at the eye, you were
dead." So the Earth defense forces experimented with a new type of Mobile
Suit. A beam rifle here, a Vulcan there, and maybe a beam saber or two. Thus, they
Created the!K(drum roll please) GUNDAM!!! (Overture1824 would be so appropriate)
Code named RX-78-2, the Gundam was the ultimate Mobile Suit. Or so they thought. Only
you can find out. Will you defend your planet or destroy it? Gundam or Zaku?

Special Moves
You see the weapons underneath the rifle ammo? Those are special weapons. You can
only access them by pressing several buttons. The weapon on the left represents the
left button on the controller or vice versa. I will not list them all. You must press
and hold R1 while pressing the button assigned to the weapon.
B.2 Explanation of Modes
There are 3 game modes, Amuro, Battle and 2PVS(two-player verses). In Amuro, you will
Become Amuro Ray (how unobvious*hint hint*) and follow the steps just like in the
T.V. series (which I own). In battle mode, you pick an available Mobile Suit to dish
It out in a random location. There are 9 battles, in which you have to destroy the
Random opponent. 2PVS stands for its name. You and your friend (or enemy) will dish
It out in any location. (The first person to choose their Mobile Suit gets to pick
The location, so choose away!)
2PVS Mode Strategy
In 2P, always choose a Mobile Suit that has a Vulcan. Vulcans are man's best stunners.
Here's a combo who'll knock your opponent's socks off. (And possibly their temper)
Fill your special bar (the bar below your health) by dodging their bullets and grabbing.
Grabbing is used when either you are out of bullets or if you are up close to them.
When close, press square and X AT THE SAME TIME, and hopefully you will reach forward
And grab his/her neck. Immediately start tapping square like a maniac and again
Hopefully throw it (the mobile suit) away and start shooting at it. This fills you
Bar by 5%. Or you can wait it out by dodging bullets. It's your choice.
Now, as I was saying. Use the Gundam. If you can, slash him/her two times. It will
Get stunned. Start using your Vulcan near it. It will stun it even more. If your special
Bar is full, press and hold R1. Then press X and square AT THE SAME TIME. You will
Automatically continually slash him for a while. When you are done, use your Beam
Javelin a few times. Your enemy will either be in red health or be totally destroyed.
It depends on what Mobile Suit he/she is using. (Don't use this on friends)
Battle Mode Tips
1. A moving target is a missed target move around to dodge your opponent's bullets
2. Your shield is a mixed blessing. If your shield is an arm, then you're done
For. The arm only soaks up half the damage you take, while a shield takes up
All the damage.
3. You may want to take some time in the MS viewer in the Gallery in Options. Then
You can decide if you want to destroy his leg (50% mobility lost) or shield
So it can't block.
4. Sometimes, it is better to move up and down than side to side like the Zeong.
It shoots parallel bullets going side to side, which could hit you anyways if
You tried to dodge it going side to side. And since it shoots 3 bullets a time,
Each divided into fifths, along with its high attack power, it's a force to
Be afraid of.
5. Unless you have a death wish, blindly swinging your Beam Saber is a no-no. unless
You have the luck of having a born a horseshoe along with you, you might want
To keep you saber to yourself.
Amuro mode Walkthrough
Stage 1. Defeat the Red Zaku
Enemies: Char Aznable (Red Zaku), and his minions (Green Zakus)
Objective: Defeat Char Aznable
Parameters (things that you have to avoid doing): Destroy yourself
Strategy: Try to dodge his bullets, even though they are camouflaged by the red stuff
coming out of the earth. Wait until your special meter fills up, and then nuke him.
You will continually fire your two bazookas at him for at least 6 shots each. Then,
its up to you.
Stage 2. Defeat the Queen's Transport
Enemies: Queen's Transport
Objective: *Sigh* Defeat the Queens Transport
Parameters: Don't blow yourself up.
Strategy: Stay far away unless she forces you. Then, Mr. Hyper Bazooka comes in. And
he's trigger-happy. Just stick with the long range.
Stage 3. Destroy the Zeong
Enemies: Zeong, and other Rick Doms.
Objective: Defeat the Zeong
Parameters: I'm going to stop this because there are no parameters except blowing
yourself up.
Strategy: Bob up and down to dodge the bullets it shoots. Try to align yourself from
you and the Zeong with the Rick Dom in between 'cause its blinds are aaaaannoying!
Stage 4.
Enemies: Sazabi
Objective: Defeat the Sazabi
Strategy: Just keep on shooting him!
Weakest MS, Strongest MS and why
The weakest MS is possibly Char's Zaku. It is THE worst Mobile Suit. Its lack of real
weapons makes it thumbs down. The Beam Machine Gun hardly substitutes for a Beam Rifle.
The strongest MS (not counting hidden characters) is in fact the Jagd Doga. Its
performance is legendary. Its good defense, attack and Vernier make it the best MS.
