1. Introduction/Mission Statement (INT)

I really just wanted some practice translating Japanese, and looking up kanji, 
and this game existed, so I played it. That's about it.

Please keep in mind that I am only learning Japanese; there may be errors here. 
If you spot any, please email me and let me know. My address is at the top. 
Thank you. :-)

2. Version History  (VER)

v1.00 (10/24/2006) -- Initial release

_______________________________________________________________________________

3. Controls (CON)

What?! This thing has controls?! W00t!

Directional Pad: Fly around
Select: Not used
Start: Pause/Restart game
Y: Punch (weak attack)
X: Nothing
B: Kick (strong attack); can be aimed with the Directional Pad
A: Dash; used with the Directional Pad
L: Guard
R: Guard

Along the bottom of the screen, there is a constant flow of characters which 
shows what buttons you are pressing. Along with the arrows for momement (these 
become red after holding them down for a moment), there is also "G" for 
guarding, "D" for dash, "P" for punch, "K" for kick, and "X" for...the X 
button, which doesn't do anything. Also, if you press a combination, you will 
get a line showing which combo you pressed. You may remember that right half of 
the SNES controller is arranged like so:

     X
  Y     A
     B

So, if I press Y and X together, the game displays "/"; likewise for B and A. X 
and B together gets "|" while Y and A together gets "-". X-A and Y-B combos get 
a backslash.

By the way, I don't know the combos for each character, and didn't bother 
trying very hard to discover any. The game is easy enough that button mashing 
will more or less get you through it.

Why did I go into that much detail describing the action display? I don't 
know.... One may as well ask why I've gone into this much detail concerning the 
game at all. ;-)

4. Game Text (GAM)

Before I get into anything else, I just wanted to let you know that I only 
played through this game once, as Idaten. If anything is different when you use 
another character, or if there's a special ending for using them all in one 
sitting, or even an unlockable character or anything else, I don't know about 
it. If there IS anything I missed, let me know and I'll add it. Thank you. :-)

a. Character Selection Screen

世紀の対沃
Opposite Fertility of the Century
(I just KNOW the word "Opposite" is supposed to be taken sexually here...)

b. Characters

Idaten [イダテン]--A big muscular guy with blue pants and matching hair. Named 
after the temple guardian 韋陀天, also written as 韋駄天, meaning "swift 
heavenly warrior."

Benten [ベンテン]--A beautiful green-haired woman, accompanied by two cherubim 
who do most of her fighting for her. Named after 弁天, the goddess of arts and 
wisdom.

Samson [サムソン]--A big, tanned, muscular guy with a hole in his head, 
basically no clothing, and a grin that would drive even his mother mad. 
Possibly named after the Biblical strongman, but let's hope not.

Sabu [サブー]--Looks like a half-human-shaped deep sea explorer. Human half 
resembles Elvis Presley; deep sea explorer half has a pagoda on its back. May 
be named after the English word "sub," but why there's a vowel extension at the 
end is beyond me.

Mami19 [マミ１９]--Half-human, half-boat, all-weird. A ship whose underside is 
a barely-covered naked woman. There are three nude bodybuilders on deck who aid 
her in battle. May be named after the word 魔魅, which means "deceiving 
spirit," but I'd be more inclined to believe that it's the English word 
"mommy."

Adam [アダム]--A naked guy in a moon-shaped tub, apparently inspired by 
Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" from the Sistene Chapel ceiling. Named 
after the Biblical Adam.

Botei [ボテイ]--A mostly naked berserker, muscular of course, wearing a horned 
helmet and kneepads with faces containing sharp noses. Origin of his name is 
unknown.

Uminin [ウミニン]--A blue...thing. Vaguely resembles a condom. Name may come 
from the kanji 生み人, meaning something like "birth man."

c. End Credits

During the credits, your character is shown in the center of the screen along 
with four kanji, one in each corner. These are 我, 尊, 唯, and 独. They all 
seem to mean the same thing: "alone." I guess it means you are "peerless" as a 
fighter; you are the lone champion.

I apologize to the readers, as well as to the programmers and staff, if I 
pronounce the following names incorrectly. Unfortunately, I have no way of 
knowing the correct readings, as all the rules of kanji pronunciation go out 
the window when names are involved. All I can say is that the kanji ARE 
correct. Besides, it was a miracle for me to simply succeed in typing all this. 
Please bear with me.
