/===================\ ( MegaMan Battle ) ( Network 4 ) ( Free Tournament FAQ ) \===================/ This FAQ is written by Chief Clancy Wiggum (Frank P.) Update - Not a new version. If anyone is hoping for folder reviews (Though I doubt it), they won't be getting them. I will be very busy with school until Christmas break. And once Christmas comes, I'll have enough new video games to last until next Christmas. So, sorry. Version 1.6 - 9/16/04 The folders are up. It's what everyone's been asking for. I always deliver. Version 1.0 - 8/25/04 I've got everything that I planned on having in this FAQ written down. There's still more stuff I want to put in, though, such as secret chip folders. Version 0.98 - 8/23/04 Fixed a few errors. Both grammatical, and information-al >_> Also added info on MetalMan's secret chips Version 0.95 - 8/19/04 This is the basic FAQ. Once I get the missing info up, it will reach 1.0. _______________________________________________________________________ + + + + + + + + + + +Table of Contents+ + + + + + + + + + + A.

Introduction+ + + + + + + + + + (I've been expecting you) Hey. What's up? Same here. Now that we know how each other are doing, we can get down to business. This FAQ was made for all those annoying people who made Free Tournament questions on the message board. If it weren't for you, this FAQ would not exist. This FAQ will answer all your questions about the very cool, but not actually free tounament (After all, somebody had to pay for the game). WHAT? I didn't answer your question? Check the contact me section. kthxbai _______________________________________________________________________ + + + + + + + +B. Starting+ + + + + + + + (Free is always good) The Free Tournament takes place in the back of Higsby's shop, on the chalk board. Second it becomes available only after you receive the Navi Customizer (Confirmation needed, E-mail me, check the contact section) and after you have at least one navi in your waiting room. This means YOU MUST HAVE TRADED NAVI DATA WITH A FRIEND TO ACCESS THE FREE TOURNAMENT. One person sends Navi data, the other receives it. Simple, no? _______________________________________________________________________ + + + + + + + + + + + + +C. Tournament Basics + + + + + + + + + + + + + (Let's commence preparations for rumbling!!!!) Here's the lowdown. There are eight spots in the tournament. MegaMan occupies one. Seven left. These are filled by custom navis, traded into your BN4 cart. You can receive a maximum of seven. Now, for every spot not filled by a custom navi, it is filled by a normal navi or heel navi. You fight three battles. (Note, that you just battle. There are no scenaios along with the battle). Generic and custom navis that you do not control fight each other with stupid AI. To skip a battle between computer controlled opponent press "select" during the fight. Generic navis usually beat custom navis for some crazy reason, if you skip the fight. If you yourself get deleted, you have the choice of watching the rest of the battles or qutting. _______________________________________________________________________ + + + + + + +D. Prizes+ + + + + + + (You are the winnar!) Ah, the reason for the tournament. Prizes range from zenny, to Bug Frags, to Battle Chips. Your prize is determined by the last Navi you fight. Zenny (1000-3000z) is won from normal navis. Bugfrags (1-3) are won from heel navis. Battle Chips (The real reason you're here) are won from custom navis (WindMan, JunkMan, etc). Here's a list of chips to be won, their codes, and their navis. Roll Arrow 1 A F T \ \ Roll Arrow 2 D R W Roll / Roll Arrow 3 Q Y Z / Guts Punch 1 B E N \ \ Guts Punch 2 G P Y GutsMan / Guts Punch 3 M Q T / Propeller Bomb 1 E G P * \ \ Propeller Bomb 2 F V Z WindMan / Propeller Bomb 3 H J Q / Meteors 1 G L S * \ \ Meteors 2 M Q T FireMan / Meteors 3 C R Z / Seek Bomb 1 B R S * \ \ Seek Bomb 2 C I O SearchMan / Seek Bomb 3 M U W / Lightning 1 L T W * \ \ Lightning 2 A E V ThunderMan / Lightning 3 H J Q / Aqua Upper 1 B S Z \ \ Aqua Upper 2 I P U AquaMan / Aqua Upper 3 F K W / Number Ball 1 E L W \ \ Number Ball 2 A E P NumberMan / Number Ball 3 L T Y / Metal Gear 1 A M P * \ \ Metal Gear 2 C E G * MetalMan / Metal Gear 3 I L Q * / Green Wood 1 G J Y \ \ Green Wood 2 D K P WoodMan / Green Wood 3 E N P / Hawk Cut 1 H N O \ \ Hawk Cut 2 F S V ProtoMan / Hawk Cut 3 I N Z / Panel Shoot 1 A H S * \ \ Panel Shoot 2 C G T * JunkMan / Panel Shoot 3 F J N * / (For full chip details, see the Secret chips section.) Now to determine what version chip you get, you look at your opponent's HP. Dark chips DO effect which version chip you receive. However, THE GAME ONLY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT BASE HP,NOT INCLUDING HP+ NAVI CUST PARTS! (Thanks to NihongoX for the info in caps). The Free Tourney navis will recieve the HP boost, but the boost does not effect which chip you get. Clear? Good. The chart goes as follows (Once again, confirmation would be appreciated): 1-399 = V1 chip 400-699 = V2 Chip 700-999 = V3 Chip 1000 = Random Version chip (Or so it seems. It gives you one of each version you do not have, and then only gives out V3) Didn't get the navi you wanted in the finals? Reseting will usually change the tournament bracket. If reseting won't work, simply compete in the tournament. The next one WILL be different. If it isn't, give me a call. I'll show your cart who's boss. _______________________________________________________________________ + + + + + + + + +E. Navi Info + + + + + + + + + (DELETE!) This is where you get some tips on the navis if you're too lazy to go to the Boss FAQ. The navis here are easy, since they tend to use lousy chips such as Cannons. However some may tend to get annoying. Don't expect something as elaborate as the Boss FAQ, this is just here because of the limited things to write this FAQ about :P ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roll She's yet to summon a virus against me so she doesn't use that attack anymore. Unfortunately, she makes up for that with the increased use of the RollArrow. Easy to dodge however. She will occaisionally stray from her normal movement pattern (Appear then warp) to use a chip on you. The best time to attack her is right after she warps because you're in the same row. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GutsMan A pushover. As long as you avoid his GutsBuster you should be fine. One problem, however, is that he cracks your panels. Make sure he doesn't lock you to one panel. I've known him to use a few powerful chips and PAs such as Red Sun, Gun del Sol, and Life Sword. The best time to attack is during a missed GutsBuster attack. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WindMan WindMan basically plays out as usual. His attack patterns are the same since he rarely uses chips. Your normal WindMan strategy should apply here. Stun him, then attack is my plan. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FireMan Tends to use chips more often than other navis in my opinion. Uses things like DreamSword and Gun del Sol. Also likes to use his magma bomb attack. When low on health, he'll use his fire spin attack in your area. Counter his magma bomb attack, and then fire away. One of the easiest navis to deal with. Very predictable. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SearchMan This guy likes to use chips. In my experiences, he very rarely uses his normal attacks. He's used Gun del Sol on me in just about every battle. If not using chips, he'll usually throw a seek bomb at you. Best time to attack would be the period of time after you escape Gun del Sol but while the chip is still in effect. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ThunderMan Doesn't use chips much. He lets his cloud do the talking. The cloud will probably be the main thing you want to avoid. Luckily, it only moves around, it does not shoot thunderballs. Will accompany his cloud with his thunder attack that goes down the row he is on. On rare occasions he will use thunder bolt attacks. Best time to attack is in between his attacks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AquaMan He throws in a nice balance of chips combined with his regular attacks. Basically uses random chips in combination with his Bubbler technique. If the fight drags on long enough, he'll conjure up is faucets. Occasionally will throw a bomb. I stun him (Double damage), then hit him. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NumberMan Very rarely uses battle chips. Likes his NumberBall attack a lot. They're hard to avoid if your buster power isn't high (Mine is). Will waste your chip. Sometimes followed up by his semi-homing triangle-math-thingy attack. Hit him right before he summons his NumberBalls *snicker* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MetalMan Starts off with two Metal gears on the field. One in your middle row and one in his middle row. The gears will move back and forth and damage you if you get hit. Piercing chips can destroy the Metal gears. MetalMan will usually fire off three missles that break the panel they land on. He also resorts back to his Boomerang move sometimes. But, when he wants to be completely annoying, he will use his gear change move. This move kind of, ya know, how do I put it?...Um. Oh yeah! Changes the gears. They both move to you area in your top and bottom row. Yay, for limited movement! MetalMan will occasionally step in front of you and punch down on the panel. The panel will break if you are not on it. MetalMan will use PA's such as Life Sword and normal chips like Cannon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WoodMan. Uses random chips. He clearly telegraphs when he does so by breaking his normal jump-type movement pattern. Other than that, just watch out for his walnut shooter and logs. Wood towers are easy to avoid thanks to the flashing. Hit him right when he comes down from a jump. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ProtoMan Has only used one chip against me. His own. That's right, for some reason he loves to use his own navi chip. I don't know why. All I know is that he's used it three times in one battle. Other than that, he just uses his normal sword play. Avoid his FighterSword and attack. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JunkMan Another one who isn't a big fan of chips. Just likes to throw Junk and screws. Easy to avoid by themselves, slightly harder when used together. Stays in the back row. Attack when you aren't in the same row as his junk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NormalNavi Uses a bomb (Mini, Little, etc) depending on his version. Easy to avoid. Uses a sword depending on his version. Easy to avoid. Uses a cannon. Once again, easy to avoid. His only other trick is to use the following chips: Fanfare, discord, timpani (rare), Silence (rare), or wind. The AI for custom navis have a hard time destoying his obstacles. Idiots. A piece of cake. Preferably, strawberry short cake. Yum! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HeelNavi Has more HP than the normalnavi but is easier. Wll either use a fighter sword or a ball chip that breaks the panel it lands on. Other than that, summons either a ValGear (FLametower virus) or Gaia (With the hammer). Attack whenever. Easy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pharohman exe had this to add: If you send your Navis first (While trading navi data, be the first to send data)they retain your Battle Chips and ignore the basic AI for the Navi itself for the most part. When you send them second (While trading navi data, be the second to send data), they ignore your battle style and totally rely on the AI. I have proven it when trading data with my friend. Note: Parts in parenthesis were added by me to make things slightly clearer. _______________________________________________________________________ + + + + + + + + + +F.

Made by H0tSh0tZ1627 4 Fan * 4 GutPunch 2 G 3 BigHammer 2 G 1 Gutsman G 1 Gutsman SP G 1 GodHammer G 3 GunSol 3 G 1 GunSol EX G 3 Thunder 1 * 2 Invis * 3 Blinder * 3 Area Grabs * 1 Fastgauge * (preset) --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Wind, Search, Thunder BM: Metal Obviously this folder is stronger in Red Sun. A very nice folder for GutsPunch. Basically, Fan or go into WindSoul. Pull them to the front and keep hitting them with GutsPunch and Gutsman. Paralyze them and hit them with a BigHammer or GodHammer. Blinder could be used to hit consecutive attacks, or just to not let the opponent see where you are. GunSols are useful against Invis and Popup. Its a folder made up of semi-powerful attacks, but is pretty quick. ======================================================================= Mjolnir Made by Eclpise and The Dark Unknown 3 BigHammer 2 J OR 3 BigHammer 3 V 4 Lightning 3 J OR 4 Lightning 2 V 1 Junkman SP J OR 1 SuperVulcan V 2 ThunderBall 1 * 4 Rockcube * 3 Blizzard * 2 AirRack * 3 Areagrab * 3 PanelGrab * 3 Invis * 1 FastGauge * [Preset] 1 Atk +30 * --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Thunder, Search BM: Junk, Metal, Number It works, but I noticed that Rockcubes explode after two Lightning Strikes (Because it does <200 damage). Prolly better if more obstacles were tossed in. ======================================================================= Meteoric Supremacy Made by SushiSquid 4 Vulcan1 * 3 Timpani * 3 PanelGrab * 3 MetalGear3 * 4 Invis * 3 PopUp * 4 Meteors3 R 1 FastGuage * (Preset) 3 Attack+10 * 1 Attack+30 * 1 RedSun R --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Fire, Search BM: Junk, Number Row lock them with PanelGrabs and MetalGear, then place the Timpani. It's much safer, now. After that, FullSynch with an un-dodgeble Vulcan1, then fire off a Meteors3 just as the Timpani starts singing. Powered up and FullSynch, it does insane damage, and they cannot dodge it. Also, there are only three ways to kill that Timpani. ColdMan, JunkMan, or JunkSoul, and even then you've got two more. The defense in this folder is more than enough for how fast and powerful it is. There's no required set-up, but Rush is always a good idea. Field: [O][O][O][X][E][X] [O][O][O][O][O][G] [O][O][O][T][X][X] O are your panels, X are theirs. G is the MetalGear. E is them and T is the Timpani. You could be anywhere down their row and the Meteors will lock onto their panel and hit. ======================================================================= PropellerBomb Folder (No name) Made by The Dark Unknown, Mastermind Chaud, and Zephyr Delta 4 PropellerBomb 1 * 4 VoodooDoll I 3 ThunderBall 3 I 4 WideShot 1 * 4 AirHock 2 I 2 Rockcube * 2 Areagrab * 2 Panelgrab * 3 Invis * 1 FastGauge [Preset] 1 FullCust * --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Search, Thunder BM: Metal You've got two choices for PropellerBomb, both which are just as effective. 1) Rowlock your opponent with Areagrabs, Panelgrabs and Rockcubes. Now, it's straightforward. Launch the Propellerbomb on the row your opponent isn't on. OR 2) Make them flinch. PropellerBomb passes through your opponent when they're flinching, and so you eradicate the problem where your opponent blocks the PropellerBomb. How? WideShot 1 *. The odds of this missing are slim, and it's insta-flinch from there! When the PropellerBomb reaches the end of the area, and is about to go off screen, toss the VDoll. You MUST not have both on at the same time (In theory, they're both 3 point Medium Obstacles that exceed the limit). However, that means that if you can escort the PropellerBomb off the screen, you've got yourself some pretty decent damage. ======================================================================= Cleptogeist Made by SushiSquid and H0tSh0tZ1627 1 DeltaRay Z 1 Jealousy J 4 RockCube * 4 RollArrow3 Y 3 Thunder1 * 2 Wind * 4 Fanfare * 2 Popup * 2 Silence * 3 NumberBall3 Y 3 Area Grab * 1 SlowGauge * (Preset) ----------------------- Souls: BM: Junk This folder is very annoying for your opponent. You get to actually steal their chips while smashing them repeatedly. It's for Net Battles only, of course. WARNING! LONG DESCRIPTION AHEAD! As you should know, JunkSoul can recycle chips. It can also recycle your opponents chips, as well. And, the chips needn't be used to be recycled. So, by deleting your opponent's chips with a RollAro3 at the start of every turn, you not only stop them from using them, but you get to take them for yourself and attack. Changed it a little. The Wind now pushes back for AreaGrabbing and can be thrown. The AreaGrabs make the Thunder1 impossible to dodge without their chips or Refelct/Shield/AntiDamage, and the Thunder1 used at the end of each turn make the RollArrows have perfect aim for the next turn.The really cool thing is, JunkSoul seems to have a feddish with secret, Mega, and Giga chips, in that order of least to greatest. So, not only are you very likely to get your RollAro3 back, in case you didn't get another, but you're also nearly guaranteed to take the more powerful chip they had selected. Of course, SushiSquid did some testing and the chips JunkSoul selects to recycle are random, but it is more likely to give back better chips. If the opponent's chips aren't useful or aren't Y or * coded, you can still be very annoying. That's where the obstacles and the SlowGauge come in. Since their chips have all been destroyed, they can only attack with their buster. The SlowGauge now has a dual-effect. It keeps them away from new chips while giving you enough time to use Poltergeist mulitple times a turn. And because their flinching ends just as you get another full charge, you can chain the poltergeists. Only MetalSoul would be able to get through this, since you'll be firing off the obstacles before they'd be able to do enough damage with their buster. RockCube is the best for this purpose. It has 200 HP, two of them can be placed at a time, and it can be placed with one of any other kind of obstacle. This means you should not use RockCube to soul unison. Plus, recycle seems to like RockCube as well, so that's even more damage. Fanfare even keeps you invincible while you charge the poltergeist! If you don't like the chips recycle gives you, then don't select them. They'll go back into the "recycle bin" with every other chip that has been selected and not already recycled and you'll get different chips the next turn. However, you might get some of the same chips because of JunkSoul's previously mentioned love of good chips. Of course, the Poltergeist itself isn't enough damage. You get up to 490 damage with the RollAro3 and four obstacles, and an extra 200 should you begin with rocks in the area. That's why the NumberBall3's were added. Great damage that comes in code. The PopUp's are there should you not get RollAro3, which is extremely rare. Jealousy fits the theme nice by destroying their chips and dealing some hefty damage. Delta Ray gives the folder more power as well as takes out the Barriers/ LifeAuras. I know you guys are thinking, "What? He criticizes us about lots of codes, when this folder has 3!" Well, it doesnt matter that this one has 3 codes. I shall explain. It does not matter that RollAro 3 and Jealousy are different codes because they would never ever be used on the same turn. They both destroy chips, so there wouldn't be a point in using both of them on the both turn. It is ok that Delta Ray is in Z because it will never be used with RollAro or Jealousy. It is mainly for enemies with a LifeAura. RollAro and Jealousy cannot break through the LifeAura, but Delta Ray can and deal hefty damage after. An ideal NaviCust for this folder: [1][c][c][ 3] [2] [c][c][S][C][C] [R][c][C][C][C] [R][H][C][C][H] [3][H][H][H][H] H = HP+200 1 = Charge+1 Yellow 2 = Charge+1 Pink 3 = Charge+1 White c = Custom+1 C = Custom+2 S = Speed+1 Yellow Gives the Custom glitch for NumbrBl3, full charge speed, and a full +3 custom. And since you're already destroying their chips, they'll have an even harder time killing you with the +400 HP... Plus this NC looks really cool. This way, if they activate Invis, it paralyzes them. ======================================================================= Toxic Bomber Made by Chief Clancy Wiggum and H0tSh0tZ1627 4 SeekBomb 3 U 2 Geddon 3 U 2 Panel Return * 4 Boomer 3 U 3 Seekbomb 1 * 2 AreaGrab * 3 Timpani * 2 Rockcube * 3 AirHock 3 U 2 Invis * 2 Barr200 U 1 Fastgauge * (preset) --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Search, Guts BM: Wood, Junk, Metal First, AreaGrab once, and place a Rockcube and Timpani as shown in the picture. [_][_][_][A][_][_] R=Rock Cube [_][_][_][T][R][_] T=Timpani [_][_][_][M][_][_] M=Megaman's Airhockey A=Area Grabbed Now go into Wood Soul and use all the Boomers powered up by SeekBomb 3's. Once you're out of WoodSoul, use an Airhockey for Full Synch from where it is shown in the picture. Once the Timpani starts to Paralyze, throw the Full Synch Seek Bomb. Use this until you run out of Seek Bombs and Airhockeys. If your opponent still isn't deleted, go into Junk Soul. Throw all the obstacles you can to finish the job. At anytime during the fight (After Area Grabbing, preferably in the beginning), you can use the Geddon 3 and Panel Return combo as support. ======================================================================= Enema! Made by H0tSh0tZ1627 4 AquaUp 3 W 3 Geddon 1 W 3 Geyser B/ L/ V 3 DoubleCrackout * 3 Blinder * 3 AreaGrab * 3 RollAro 2 W 3 Barrier100 W 3 Invis * 1 Fullcust * 1 Fastgauge * (preset) --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Search, Guts BM: Aqua, Metal Very easy strategy. Go AquaSoul and Geddon 1. You can start AquaUping them at this point or AreaGrab and DoubleCrack to rowlock them. A charged up AquaUp does 340 damage. Now you also have broken panels because of the DoubleCrack. Throw a charged up Geyser in there for a nice 400 damage. Blinder can be used to stop flinching and hit consecutive AquaUps and Geysers. When rowlocked, they cant avoid getting hit by the RollAro, thus destroying their chips fairly easily. Its a pretty quick folder and does some nice damage. ======================================================================= The Impaler Made by SushiSquid 4 WoodPowder * 4 AreaGrab * 4 GreenWood3 P 4 GreenWood2 P 3 Invis * 2 PopUp P 4 GutsPunch2 P 2 PropBom1 P 2 Wind * 1 FastGauge (Preset) --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Wind, Search BM: Wood This folder and NC set-up make you very powerful, yourself, and make for a great combo. Get them down with AreaGrabs as much as you can, then pour on the grass. Now, even if they take their area back, you've got grass there, so use gaia-powered GreenWoods to do massive non-flinching damage. And if they didn't take their area back, you can add in your 160 damage charge shot for more non-flinching pain. And gaia effect works for four turns, not three. Because you pick the chips for the turn you lose WoodSoul on while still in it, the gaia effect works for that fourth turn. That's why the FastGauge was chosen over FullCust. NaviCust: [H][H][Y][1][P] [R][H][1][1][1] [R][S][2][2][1] [S][S][2][2][2] [y][S][P][2][2] 1 = Custom+1 2 = Custom+2 Y = Charge+1 Yellow(White) y = Charge+1 Yellow P = Charge+1 Pink (Yellow) p = Charge+1 Pink (White) S = Super Armor R = Rush (UnderShirt) H = HP+100 Pink (Yellow) The stuff in parenthesis is for when you aren't Net Battling. ======================================================================= Twin Swords (Blue Moon) Made by H0tSh0tZ1627 1 Delta Ray Z 4 HawkCut3 I 3 VDoll I 3 Sandring * 4 PanelGrab * 4 AirHock 2 I 3 Fan * 3 Blinder * 1 Attack +30 * 3 Invis * 1 Fastgauge * (preset) --------------------------------- Soul: RS: Search, Wind BM: Proto /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Twin Swords (Red Sun) Made by H0tSh0tZ1627 1 NeoVar N 4 HawkCut3 I 3 VDoll I 3 Sandring * 4 PanelGrab * 4 AirHock 2 I 3 Fan * 3 Blinder * 1 Attack +30 * 3 Invis * 1 Fastgauge * (preset) --------------------------------- Soul: RS: Search, Wind BM: Proto Start off by Panel Grabbing the top row and place a Fan down. When he is pulled to the front center row, Sandring him to make sure he stays there. Quickly Airhock him for Fullsync and quickly throw a VDoll on the Panel you stole. Now run up to him and hit him with a HawkCut. This deals 600 damage to him because it hits the VDoll also. Amazingly, the Sandring does keep the opponent still long enough to do all of this. But still, to do this takes practice and timing. But once you get the idea of it, after that first HawkCut, the battle is pretty much over. Blinder to stop the flinching and hit him with another Sandring to keep him still again and repeat the process, or HawkCut, or even use DeltaRay or NeoVar, depending on which version you have. Then its pretty much over. ======================================================================= Astro Crush Made by H0tSh0tZ1627, Raven8, and Asakura Yoh 4 MetalGear 3 * 3 Meteor 3 C 3 GunSol 3 C 3 Thunder 1 * 4 Timpani * 3 AreaGrab * 3 MokoRush 1 C 1 Attack +30 * 3 Invis * 2 PopUp * 1 Fastgauge * (preset) ----------------------------------- Souls: RS: Search, Fire, Thunder BM: Metal, Number The strategy is much more simple than the previous one. Timpani and then hit him with a GunSol3. As the Timpani ends, hit him with a Thunder1. Wait a second, to have the Timpani about to start again, and then start to unleash the Meteors. The Meteors will give you fullsynch, and directy right you get fullsync, place the MetalGear on the row. The MetalGear will now roll into the enemy doing double damage. Even if you dont get the double damage, now with the Timpanis, the enemy is forced to take all the damage, and not only from the MetalGear. You can repeat this over and over doing some nice damage. MokoRush is a nice chip to have as it helps for AreaGrabbing and is hard to avoid. Basically, the Timpani stops them in their tracks while you smash them. ======================================================================= Lucky Ball Made by Daimou43 3 Sandring * 4 Invis * 4 Mole * 3 Numberball3 L 3 Numberball1 L 2 Areasteal * 4 Atk+10 * 2 Timpani * 1 Fullcust * 1 Bugchain * 1 Bugfix * 1 Laserman L 1 LasermanSP L --------------------------------- Souls: RS: Search BM: Junk A folder to ONLY be used FAST. Bug the NC BAD. Something like this: The bug in your Custom menu will drain about 100 life every 5 seconds, as well as draining HP in the Custom menu, and nulling your Buster. The dea is to either stop your bugs, or send them to your opponent. Laserman is to destroy other various aspects, as well as add some muscle to the folder. Since the HP drains so quickly, Numberball seems to be an interesting option to attack with. Timpani + Sandring hold them in place to Numberball and Laserman.

THIS IS NOT A SNAKES FOLDER! Now, the strategy is to hit with all four Panel Shoots. Basically AreaGrab twice, Stun, Vulcan (For Synchro), Double/ColorPoint, PanelShoot, Atk+30/10, and repeat, only AreaGrabbing once every time istead of twice. Snakes is only there because it goes along nicely with the theme of the folder. ======================================================================= THIS SECTION IS NOT DONE.

Frequently Asked Questions+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + (Check it :P) Q: I don't have a friend with this game. Can I still use the free tournament? A: No. Go buy the other version. Now you have both and can free tournament. Yay? Q: How does NumberBall do damage? A: Numberball does damage according to the last two digits of your HP Q: I always face a Normal navi in the finals, not a custom. What do I do? A: Get more navi data. You'll have a higher chance of a custom navi advancing. Q: How do I get different chip versions? A: Different chip versions are based on your opponents base HP. For full info, check the "Prizes" section. Q: Must I trade Navi data after every free tournament? A: No, once you receive navi data, it stays in your cart until you choose to delete it. Q: How come Propeller Bomb doesn't work? It hits the enemy but doesn't do damage when it explodes. A: Propeller Bomb must fly off the screen and explode to do damage. Q: PanelShoot3 hits four times!1!!!11!!!1!!!1! A: NO. It throws four panels. The most panels in the same row is two. Therefore, it only hits TWICE. Q: The Free Tournament is too hard. A: That isn't a question. But anyway, no it isn't. You just suck at video games. Go play Finding Nemo. Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie, but the game is horrid. (By the way, this game comparison was changed due to whiney Pokemon fans flooding my inbox...
