COMMENTS / FAQ ================== This is a GREAT game, but not everyone may love it as much as I do. So if you are thinking to import it, check around first. This game reaks of the classic games, which is a VERY good thing. The sliding move is back, and so is the wire hang. A bunch of classic enemies such as the Metools that fired shots in 3 different directions, those flying penguins from Ice Man's stage in MM1, along with those green robots that split apart when you shot at their legs. Also... Sniper Joes are here as well, along with those annoying flying red shield enemies. But, thats not the end of it, the oh-so-hated disappearing blocks are back, as well as those 1-hit kill lasers from Quick Man's stage in MM2. Q: How is this game played? A: The entire game is a sidescroller, much like the classic and X series. Q: What are the graphics like? A: Cel-Shaded very nicely. Q: Is Zero really in this game? A: Yes and No, it's not the X Series Zero, it's the Zero Virus which is made to look like Zero. The 2 don't have anything to do with each other, since EXE and the other series don't connect at all, this has been officially stated in the "Rockman Perfect Memories Collection" B. CHARACTERS ============== I will be posting both the japanese and english names People ======= Netto Hikari ---> Lan Hikari Yuuichirou ---> Lan's Dad Haruka ---> Lan's Mom Meiru ---> Mayl Yaito ---> Yai Dekao ---> Dex Enzan ---> Chaud Higure ---> Higsby Mariko Sensei ---> Ms. Mari Hinoken ---> Mr. Match Navi's ====== Rockman.exe ---> MegaMan.exe Blues.exe ---> ProtoMan.exe Forte.exe ---> Bass.exe C.

STATUS ========== HP- Rockman's health, when this meter is gone, you are dead MP- This meter determins how many times you can use a certain chip in a row. Each chip will drain a certain amount from the meter. The MP meter slowly refills itself, and it is very rare for it to be depleted. Attack- You can upgrade this 5 times, each time will make the Buster do more damage. Rapid- You can upgrade this 5 times, each time will make the Buster shoot faster. Charge- You can upgrade this 5 times, each time will allow you to charge the Buster faster, you cannot charge your buster unless you add a Power UP to this stat. Lives- Yes, you have multiple chances with each stage. You can upgrade the amount of lives you have, you do so by collecting Blue Chips, you should have seen one in the first stage. Zenny- The main currency of the Battle Network EXE games, used to buy chips, sub-chips, and armor from the Higureya, Higsby's store. =================== =SECTION II: AREAS =================== When you choose the town option in the pause menu, you can choose where you want to go, via a map of Akihara (ACDC Town). Move the curser to a Plug-In icon, or a S icon to buy stuff at the store. Netto's PC - Akihara Network 1 & 2 Meiru's PC - Fire Man's stage, later becomes Akihara Network 3 Dekao's PC - Guts Man's stage, Pharoah Man's stage. Yaito's PC - Needle Man's stage. Bus Stop Network- Quick Man's stage, Elec Man's stage Subway Network- Ice Man's stage, Bright Man's stage, Color Man's stage Akihara Park - Challenge any Navi you have defeated to a Net Battle, you can win a chip of either their special weapon, or their navi chip. School- Shadow Man's stage. Higureya - Buy Sub-Chips, Armor, or regular chips from Higsby. =========================== =SECTION III: Battle Chips =========================== A. WHAT IS A CHIP? =================== A Battle Chip is the main focus of attacking. Your power buster is too weak to beat the game alone. At the begining of each stage, or after you die, you are shown the Chip Menu, if you have played the GBA games, then you know how this works. But it's a bit different this time, the game randomly picks 5 chips from your folder and you can select all 5 to use. This can be as many as you want or all or none. If you select none, then you will be able to choose from 10 chips when your custom guage fills again. Some chips are needed outside of battle. Like the Dash chip for example. Sometimes there are items that are too far to reach with just a normal jump. To get the item, you stand at the edge of the platform and activate the chip, Mega Man will air-dash over to the other platform, as long as it's close enough. Elements- There are 4 elements- Heat / Aqua / Wood / Elec / None Restrictions- Some chips can only be uses when on the ground. They are- Running, Jumping, Holding onto a ladder, and Hanging from a wire. Ammounts- You can only have a certain number of a certain chip. You can have 30 cannons, but only 5 FireMan chips. 1- Attack ========== Attack chips are the chips you will use the most, they are pretty much straight forward. 2- Support =========== Support chips are basically HP recovery chips, or barriers. However some chips help you get hard to reach items. The dash chip will allow you to reach platforms that are too far away to jump to. The Air Boots chip will allow you to double jump to get to high to reach places. 3- Navi / Boss Weapon ====================== Navi chips will pause the screen, the summoned navi will warp in and do an attack. Now I know you are wondering about Boss Weapons? This is just a basic attack chip, but I thought I should mention it. After you defeat a NetNavi for the first time you will recieve a chip. When this chip is used, you will use one of their attacks. FireMan gave me the Flame Thrower, and GutsMan gave me the Guts Punch. B. LIBRARY =========== There are 137 Battle Chips in Transmission. Here I will try to list all the chips I get in the game. The names will most likely be the english versions, or some made up name, for most of the boss weapons. Also, Battle Chips do not have Letter Codes in this game. # | Name | Damage | Element | Ammount | Restrictions | Description --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 |Cannon | 40 | None | 30 | None | Fires a blast in front of you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 |High Cannon | 80 | None | 20 | None | " " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03 |Mega Cannon | 120 | None | 10 | None | " " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04 |ShotGun | 40 | None | 20 | None | Fires a blast in front of you, creates a blast behind what it hits. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 05 |V-Gun | 50 | None | ?

FOLDER ========== You can have 20 different battle chips in your folder. At any point in the game, you may switch chips with ones in your bag. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. If you have high attack power chips, but only 1 or 2 of them, it would be useless to bring them into a stage, since they will get used up fast. By the time you are at a Navi's gate, you will no doubt have your cannons and shot guns depleted. It doesn't really matter, since you need to kill the boss as fast as possible, and Cannons and ShotGuns are too weak. But, if you switch your weak chips around with a single high attack power chip, you can win. D. PROGRAM ADVANCES ==================== 1. Beta Cannon - 120 damage - Cannon, High Cannon, Mega Cannon 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Dream Sword 1 - 200 damage - Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword 7. Dream Sword 2 - 300 damage - Flame Sword, Aqua Sword, Elec Sword 8. Dream Sword 3 - 400 damage - Flame Blade, Aqua Blade, Elec Blade 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. ==================== =SECTION IV: BOSSES ==================== These strategies are mainly for the first time you meet the boss Navi. I highly suggest trying to go into a boss fight with a Program Advance ready, and an already full custom gauge. That way you can use the PA and then switch chips. Also Roll is highly recommended, since she does a good amount of damage, and will heal you too. I will put how hard a boss is by the number of stars, it will be 1-5, 5 being the hardest. Fire Man.exe HP: 400 Attacks: Flame Thrower, Body Burn Difficulty: ***** Chips to get: Flame Thrower, FireMan Strategy: He will use the flame thrower a lot, it is also hard to dodge, and will kill you in 2 to 3 hits at the begining of the game. To dodge it, stay at the edge of the screen, and when it is about to hit you, slide under it. Now you should attack him. He will most likely use the flame thrower again, so run away, and slide under it again. His Body Burn attack will only hurt you if you are standing next to him, when he uses it, he will stand still and turn on fire. This is a good time to hit him with powerful chip. You should go into this battle with atleast 4 Bubble Shot chips, and an Aqua Sword (Buy from Higure for 1,000z) *Note: If you have trouble avoiding his attacks, you can stand at the edge of the screen, and slide away from him. You won't move forward since you are already at the edge, but you should avoid the attack and you won't have to run back to slide again. -------------------------- Guts Man.exe HP: 600 Attacks: Shockwave, Guts Punch, Ground Shock Difficulty: **** Chips to get: Guts Punch, GutsMan Strategy: This guy is HARD. He mainly walks towards you slowly so he can use his Guts Punch, so you need to take away a lot of HP by the time he reaches you. Now, beating him includes some patience. You will need to enter this battle with a Dream Sword 1 program advance. You should also have about 2 or 3 FireMan navi chips ready to use once your PA is gone. To do this, before you enter his gate, let your custom meter load up, then select no chips, this way you can get 10 to choose from next time. If you don't get the chips to make the dream sword, chose weak and useless chips, like cannons and shotguns. That way, they will be replaced when the custom guage fills again. Hopefully you will get the chips for the PA. When you do chose them (Sword, WideSword, LongSword) and press ok. Now... wait for your meter to load once again, once it is loaded, go into the boss battle. Now, wait for Guts Man to attack you, dodge it and get close to him and then use the Dream Sword. Now after you used it, your custom guage is full, so choose 5 chips to use. If you get them, choose any sword chip, FireMan, Recover 30, High Cannon. All of GutsMan's attacks can be avoided by jumping. When he jumps into the air, he is about to do his Ground Shock, this will stun you, so jump before he lands. When he smashes the ground, he creates a very fast moving shockwave, jump to avoid it. If he gets close to you, he will use the Guts Punch, I am not kidding here... 2 of these WILL kill you. *Note: An easier way to beat him is to have about 9 Sword chips. After he does an attack, run up to him and use the Sword. If he jumps, try to jump and hit him with a sword, this will cancel the Ground Shock. When you jump to avoid most of his attacks, try to hit him with a sword on your way down to the ground. He should die fast this way. (I use this strategy on the Net Battles with him) ----------------------------- Ice Man.exe HP: 500 Attacks: Ice Slasher, Freeze Bomb, Ice Cube Difficulty: * Gives: Ice Slasher, IceMan Strategy: IceMan is the most pathetic Navi in the game, he needs no strategy. All he does is run around and use his Ice Cutter, and maybe he will jump and use the freeze bomb. All of his attacks are easy to avoid. Also the fact that he is so short makes it great to just jump over him and shoot him with something powerful. Actually, if you want, worry about the freeze bomb. It creates multiple Ice Towers. ------------------------------ Needle Man.exe HP: 600 Attacks: Needle Cannon , Needle Spray , Needle Spin Difficulty: **** Gives: Needle Cannon, NeedleMan Strategy: Needle Man is very random. He will move towards you and fire his needle cannon, a bunch of needles are shot forward. When you hit him, he will either use needle cannon, or jump up and fire 5 needles at an angle, one forward, and the rest forward-down. If he is low on HP he will charge up, and jump to the top of the screen and spin, when he does this immeditately slide under him, he will fill the screen with needles, except under him, this is his Needle Spray. Use FireMan's chip since he is a wood element. ------------------------------ Bright Man.exe HP: 600 Attacks: Bright Laser, Energy Ball, Barrier Difficulty: **** Gives: Bright Laser, BrightMan Strategy: Bright Man is more annoying than he is hard. He has an infinate ammount of barriers. If you hit his barrier, he will counter with the Bright Laser, this is a fast moving laser, it will also turn up or down, so slide to avoid it. He also has an energy ball attack that moves slowly toward you, it will hit you if you try to jump, so trick it to moving upward by jump up in place, and then slide, when you slide it will go down, so you can jump over it, it will eventually disappear. What you need to do is shoot him with the buster, slide, then hit him, and hope his barrier isn't back up. *Note: 3 Tree Bomb 3s will kill him. Just shoot his barrier then toss the bomb. Also, Navi chips will penatrate his barrier. ------------------------------ Quick Man.exe HP: 600 Attacks: Quick Boomerang, Dashing, Guard Difficulty: **** Gives: Q. Boomerang, QuickMan Strategy: Quick Man will dash around screen, and block any shot you try to hit him with. He can only be hit when he is using his Quick Boomerang. You can slide under him when he comes close to you. He will use his boomerang on ground level, but also sometimes in the air. Just jump over it and attack him. He will also block any Navi chips. ------------------------------ Color Man.exe HP: Attacks: Ball, Aqua Tower, Flame Tower Difficulty: ** Gives: Ball, ColorMan Strategy: His will almost always use his ball to attack you. Just jump over or slide under it. Since he sits on the ball, he will be above the ground and thus you must jump up to hit him. Roll's chip will lock on to him. He rarely uses Aqua or Flame Tower. And he almost never moves forward. ------------------------------ Elec Man.exe HP: Attacks: Lightning, Elec Hold, Teleport Difficulty: **** Gives: Elec Shot, ElecMan Strategy: Elec Man takes practice, when you hit him with anything, he will warp behind you, grab you, and then shock you (Elec Hold). What you need to do is, shoot him with your buster, then when he teleports, slide away, turn around and blast him. If the blast is great enough, it will stun him, and he will use his lightning attack. 2-3 clouds appear at the top of the screen, and cause lightning to come down, this is easliy avoidible, just move away from the clouds. Since he floats around, you can slide under him. A good plan is to shoot him, slide away and hit him with something powerful. Avoid the lightning and then slide under him as he comes near you. ------------------------------ Sword Man.exe HP: Attacks: Sword Smash, Spinning Swords, Sword Difficulty: ***** Gives: Sword Smash, SwordMan ------------------------------ Gravity Man.exe HP: Attacks: Gravity Ball Difficulty: *** Gives: G.Blast, GravityMan Strategy: EASY, he does not move at all! He just floats in place, the only problem is, if you jump up too high, you will land upside down on the ceiling. Also, his hands will rotate around and will block his head sometimes. Also his Gravity Ball attack is somewhat similar to Bright Man's energy ball. So they will home in on you. The battle should mainly be fought upside down, since his head it closer to the ceiling, and it's the only part of him that will take damage. The easiest way to kill him is to slide under him and go behind him, jump to the ceiling and throw Tree Bomb 3s, they will hit him and do a lot of damage, also, they can't be blocked by his hands. He should be dead before any Gravity Ball can hurt you. ------------------------------ Star Man.exe HP: Attacks: Star Crash, Star Arrow Difficulty- *** Gives: Star Arrow, StarMan Strategy: Now, there is atleast one boss in each game that I like to go back to, Star Man is it for this game. He will fly in the air, so any chips that attack low to the ground are useless. Star Man will teleport away once he does an attack, so shoot him when he appears again. Star Man's star arrow will shoot in 9 different directions, but it is easy to avoid. His Star Crash is a bit harder, he will summon a lot of stars to fall from the sky, most of the time you can jump over them, since they fall at an angle. But sometime when he is low on HP he will summon just enough so that you can't avoid them. I recommend Mega Cannons and Tree Bomb 3s. The only useful Navi chip will be Roll, since she will hit him where ever he is. ------------------------------ Zero HP: ???? Attacks: Triple Slash, Hyper Saber Difficulty- **** Gives: Triple Saber, Zero (1 time only, you get both at the fight, since he can't be re-fought.) Strategy: You would think he is hard, but he really isn't. As always try to have a PA ready before you go in. He can ONLY be hit when he is attacking. When he does attack, use all the chips you can. When he moves around the room, just slide under him. His Hyper Saber is un-avoidable, and it comes too fast to try. I recommend Mega Cannons, Roll, and a Dream Sword PA. ------------------------------ Pharoah Man.exe HP: Attacks: Pharoah Laser, Ratton, Poison Anubis Difficulty: ***** Gives: Poison Anubis, PharoahMan Strategy: Annoying, thats what this battle is. Every other second he will drop a coffin that will shot a laser, or release a ratton. A poison anubis might drop as well, in which case it will drain your HP by constantly hitting you, making you unable to fully charge, if one does drop, destroy it immediately. Pharoah Man will float around the stage, so again attacks that hit the ground only, won't work. Just blast him with Mega Cannons or Tree Bomb 3s. Beta Cannon PA is recommended. ------------------------------ Shadow Man.exe HP: Attacks: Shadow Blade, MuraMasa, Multiform Difficulty: **** Gives: MuraMasa, ShadowMan ------------------------------ Blues.exe HP: 1000 Attacks: Sword, Wide Sword, Guard, Area Steal, Beta Sword. Difficulty: ***** Gives: Variable Sword, Blues Strategy: Hardest normal boss in the entire game. He can only be hit when he attacks, or right before. If you hit him when he isn't attacking his shield will block the attack, and send a shockwave back at you. He will almost always area steal and appear right in front of you, giving you almost no time to dodge. He will sometimes use the Beta Sword (from the anime), it will launch a shockwave on the ground, and a sword swipe through the air, so far I have found this impossible to avoid. All I can really say is do your best to avoid him, and hit him with as many Mega Cannons as possible, also any strong navi chip. ====================== =SECTION V: FUN STUFF ====================== When you beat a boss or get killed by one in a NetBattle you will get to see the japanese box art from the second game. During the 2nd part of the game, this art will change to the box art from the first game. And finally on the 3rd part, it will change to the EXE 2 pic of Rockman and the Heat Guts style behind him. When you beat a boss for the first time, a miniature figurine of him will appear in Netto's room. There is only 1 problem, they are too small, and at the end of the game, they are just clutter. A lot of the music in this game is remixed. Some known remixes are Fire Man's Stage, Pharoah Man's Stage, Ice Man's Stage, and "Kaze o Tsukinukete" (The intro to the EXE anime). Collect each of the bosses navi chip and Meiru will email you about something weird in her PC, go to the end with the Blue Gate and use the Air Boots to jump up to the platform to the right of it. The keep going up until you reach a door. It will open up and reveal a green warp, go to fight the "real" final boss, Forte. =========================== =SECTION VI: LEGAL AND SUCH =========================== All Rockman(MegaMan) characters and this game are (c) Capcom 2003.
