SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, the long awaited Bust A Move 2 is out. After selling many copies of
Bust A Move, the sequel Bust A Move 2 is bound to be another sell out.
Well, this FAQ is for people who are beginniners so all you advanced
players......sorry this is not for you. In this guide, I'll tell you how
to play Bust A Move 2, give you some tips etc. By the way, if you've
played Bust A Move, easy right? Well, get prepared cause Bust A Move 2
is not as easy as it's first. So enjoy.

HOW TO PLAY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Bust A Move 2 is a dancing game as you know, so you've gotta
follow the rhythm and beat. You press the buttons on your playstation
console acording to the pattern on the screen. Seems simple huh, well
not so. You've gotta put all those dance steps into 4 beats. Make sure
to put the last step of the pattern on the last beat or you'll miss. You
might want to try the training mode to help you as they show a extra bar
at the bottom the step bar to show you the timming. Timming is
everything so good luck.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some tips for beginners:
To get extra points, try to press the last step of the pattern on the
pattern exactly on the last beat. If the last step enlarges itself, it
means you've done it correctly and you get points according to how long
the pattern is.
There are a few ways to move to the beat. One way, is to count 1, 2, 3,
4 so that you have the timming in your head. The bad thing is that if
your timming is off, you'll get it wrong. Another way is by listening to
the music. You'll hear beats in the background. You might want to follow
those as they are more accurate. Note that the fourth or last beat is
usually louder than the other beats. And the last and final way I've
found so far is to watch your characters dance steps and listen to the
beat. You can also use this to move to the beat. Look at their
movements, you'll notice if you look hard enough that by swaying left
once, it's two beats. Swaying from left then to right is four beats.
Another thing that you might want to do is to use your special. It's not
very accurate as your opponent can duck this attack and you'll miss. But
if you get a hit, it adds valuble time for you to gain points. You might
want to do your special when your reaching the solo parts where you
dance on your own. As the special will knock them out for a while, and
if the solo has started, you'll be able to have the whole solo for
yourself! People call it a cheap move, but for beginners, it's
recommended as it's a great way to gain points. Remember that you only
have two specials per dance match.
I recommend that you try practice mode until you've finally master it
before actually try 'easy' mode in one player mode. Remember that in
training mode they'll show you the timming.
It seems to me that Heat is the easiest character to use for a beginner.
I dunno, maybe it's just for me. You might prefer a different character,
I dunno. Another easy character I think is Kelly. So try them out.
More is to come in my next update so look out for it.
