Added Introduction, Controls, General Information, Menu Translations, & Character Information. +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 02.00 | Introduction | +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Welcome to my Battle Athletess: Daiundoukai for the Sega Saturn FAQ. This is my first attempt at a FAQ for an import game. While I do have some Japanese language skills, I am far from being fluent. So I will not be posting dialogue translations or anything of that sort, mainly because the amount of kanji I know can be counted on my fingers. I purchased this game recently because I absolutely love the TV series (and to a lesser extent, the OAV series). The anime are based on this game, and I will dare to say they are simply the best video game-based anime ever, and in my opinion of the best anime ever. I was disappointed when I discovered there was very little information to be found on the game and I decided to write this FAQ. As of the writing of this FAQ (v0.9b), I have only played the game for an hour or two. Forgive me for any inaccuracies or oversights due to this. Any help that you could provide for the FAQ would be helpful. Especially game play tips. +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 03.00 | General Information | +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | 03.01 | Story | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ Note that my interpretation of the story is based mainly on the OAV and TV series (Highly recommended! Especially the TV series.) and what little I can grasp from the game. It may differ. Kanzaki Akari is the child of Kanzaki Tomoe, a former Cosmic Beauty (winner of the Daiundoukai). When Akari's mother dies, Grant Oldman, the principal of the University Satellite (a school where girls train to become the Cosmic Beauty), who sees the potential in Akari to become the Cosmic Beauty, shows up and invites Akari to the University Satellite. She accepts reluctantly. +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | 03.02 | Goal | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ You are Akari's coach, and you must whip Akari into shape for the great competition (Daiundoukai). You must balance training and resting, as well as managing the type of training Akari does. But time is limited. The game begins on 4998/09/01 and the Daiundoukai is on 4999/03/20. So you must use your time wisely. +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | 03.03 | Controls | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ A : Confirms Selection B : Cancels Selection C : Confirms Selection R : Skips Spoken Dialogue (Shame on you if you use these) L : Skips Spoken Dialogue (buttons the seiyuu are great!) D-pad : Changes Selection +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | 03.04 | Gameplay Tips | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ - In the beginning of the game, Grant Oldman shows you the University Satellite's facilities. The selections he gives you are the locations in the University (Track, Pool, etc.). It doesn't matter what order you pick them in, just keep picking until you have seen everything. - Going to the Nurse gives you an evaluation on how Akari is doing, and shows you her stats. - The only way to regain Energy and to reduce Fatigue is to Rest for a day. If you have no Energy of Full fatigue you will do damage to your stats, rather than increasing them. Also Akari will not show up on some days if her Energy is low or her Fatigue is high. - On certain days (list pending) Akari will choose the exercise she wishes to do. On these days she will have encounters with her classmates. When events like this happen usually a new exercise will be available. +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 04.00 | Menu Translations | +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | 04.01 | Top Menu | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ Option 1: Training (toreeningu) - See 4.02 Option 2: Rest/End The Day (?) - See 4.03 Option 3: Nurse/Evaluation (suteetasu) - See 4.04 Option 4: System (sisutemu) - See 4.05 +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | 04.02 | Training Menu | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ (This menu is easy because there are pictures) -Pushups (?) -Running (ranningu) -Aerobics (earobikusu) -One-Arm Pushups (?) -Pool (*) -Weights (*) -Treadmill (*) -Upside-down Pushups?
