V001 11-11-99 Ok here is the rpoof that i have no life ..erm i mean here is the faq for playing SNK VS CAPCOM CARD CLASH! 1 Foreword 2 Explenation of the game 3 Menu options 4 Cards 5 Secrets 6 Tactics 1 Foreword I bought this game to learn more japanese but don`t let you stop this to buy the game. The game is very playable and enjoyable without you knowing any japanese. But having a hiragana and katakana table around can never hurt ;) . Sometimes i give a correct translation and sometimes i give an assumption what the meaning is. So if you have any suggestions or whatever you can contact me at tfaasen@wins.uva.nl. Also if you want to show of the grafix capability's of the ngpc this will do it. Every time I recieve a new card i am just amazed.. As this is the first version of the faq please help me out on card description, names, corrections and suggestions.. i think the faq could use a better structure but here is it anyway. yes it is not finished but if people are going to use it i put some more effort in to it. It already took me 3 hours just to type the damn thing, this is why the card is still very small.. If you type something it will save me some work .. and if you are going to rip it please give credit where credit is due or better email me. 2 Explenation of the game 2.1 Short version It is like magic the gathering but with SNK and CAPCOM characters. 2.2 Long version It is not like magic the gathering but it is a card fighting game. There are different rules and tactics because the cards are different. first let me explain the layout of cards: This is a 'normal' card there is also an 'action' card. ________ | | |Pretty | |Picture| | | |_______| | name | --------- |?xxxBP | | xxxSP | --------- The name will be in japanese but if you have played an snk or capcom game before you will probably recognise them anyway. BP stands for Battle Points. SP stands for Soul Points. The ? mark stands for a possible symbol indicating a special ability. There are 4 possibility's: ' ' - None so no special ability '#' - A Square, this ability can be selected during the game and when the card is playable. 'O' - A cirle, this ability means that you can combine 2 or more cards to attack. '^' - A triangle, this means that the special ability is activated as soon as the card is put on the table. If it is a action card there will be only the name and the SP in negative which means that you can use this card if you have at least these SP. Each time you put down a normal card your SP will build up. How does the game work? If you start the game, first you will shuffle the deck. After this you have to press a button to decide you or your advisary will start. You will always start with 5 cards and at least 2000 life points. This will be more for important fights. When it is your turn you may pick a card from the deck. If there are no cards left you lose. Here you have several options. 1 - You can put 1 card on the table. But you will not be able to use this card. As soon as you switch turns the card will become usable. You cannot put more then 3 cards at a time on your side of the table. 2 - You can select a special ability from the cards that are usable and on the table. 3 - You can play a action card if you have enough Soul Points. 4 - You can attack with 1 or more normal cards. After this you automaticly switch turns. When you attack the opponent can or cannot block your attacking card with one of his cards. If he does the one with the most Battle Points will win. For example you attack with 400 BP and you are blocked with a card of 300 BP. Your opponent's card will be K.O.'ed and you will will lose 300 BP. Which means you card will only have 400-300=100 BP for the next defense or attack. If you're attack is not blocked or you combine several cards and have more poins then your opponont's blocking card, your BP will be substracted from your opponents Life points. If the Life points reach 0 this person will lose. During the opponents turn you can only block with your cards and the same rules apply. Conclusion You must beat your opponent by attacking so his Life Points will reach 0 or he/she/it will run out of cards. 3 menu options When you first start the game you will get a nice intro, after you pressed the button you will be presented with 3 options. This will only be 2 if you never have saved before. 1 Continue game 2 New Game 3 Instructions If you select 3 you will be presented with 2 more options 1 Tutorial 2 Explenation of symbols So ofcourse you press the first option is which continue/new game depending if this is your first time. When you play the first time type in your name, right below is the exit/end. When you continue you move around in Osaka topdown/rpg style and you start in a arcade. You can talk to people by facing them and pressing the A button. They always say a lot of fascinating things which i don't understand. In a few cases they give a number and that probably means you must beat at least that many persons in that building before you can play against the 'End Boss' :) . If you are presented with a question most of the times it will mean if you want to fight them. Left is hai(yes) and right is iee(no). Sometimes they give you a card/advice. If your fighting them you will get a menu with 6 options at the bottom of the screen. _____________________________________________ | 1(Select Card) 2(Examine) 3(Symbols) | | 4(Attack) 5(Special Ability) 6(exit)| --------------------------------------------- 1 Select a card to play. You will get a list of cards which you can select to play. There will be 2 options. 1.1 Play this card 1.2 View discription of this card. 2 Examine will present a new 4 options 2.1 view cards on the table 2.2 view cards played/discarded by you 2.3 view statistics on how many cards played etc. 2.4 view cards played/discardedA by your opponent 3 Explenation of all the symbols 4 Attack your opponent with your cards on the table. 5 Use a special ability of your cards on the table. Note that the card must have a square on it and it must be playable. 6 Exit and switch turns. Ofcourse you have one and now you want to save or change your deck. When you are in the topdown view/rpg mode you press the option button and you will get 5 options. 1 Statistics on how long you have played, how many cards you have etc. 2 Card Selecting this option will allow you to change your deck or create anew deck From left to right: 2.1 Modify or Create new deck. Depends if you select an empty slot or one of your decks. Note that it is only possible to create a new deck if you have more then new 50 cards. On modification you can select cards to add or to remove, there should always be 50 cards in the deck. 2.1.1 Accept changes 2.1.2 Remove all cards 2.1.3 Exit 2.2 Select the deck you want to play with 2.3 View your cards 2.4 Change the name of the deck 3 Save. 2 new options from left to right 3.1 Yes will save 3.2 No will abort 4 Not clear to me yet. I believe this is the difficulty setting but don't know for sure. 5 Link options. Haven't tried them 'cause i don't have a link cable :( You can trade or just play a game against a wireless/DC/serial friend. 4 Cards This should be the listing of all the cards in the capcom edition but i don't have them all so this list will graduately grow.
