- INTRODUCTION -
==============
This guide is best viewed in 800x600 screen resolution, in size 10 font, in
Wordpad. This guide is designed to fit in Wordpad default settings.
This guide follows the names that are used in the Japanese version of Rockman
Zero series, not the American or Europe version.
The main focus of this guide is on the mechanics of the game. It is recommended
that you get at least one other walkthrough if you need strategies or tips.
A lot of the information here came from Rods Website. If you can read Japanese,
you can try going there.
Currently, there is no full walkthrough.

================================================================================
- Boss Behavior -
*****************
Bosses and Midbosses react differently from other normal enemies. Whenever a
Boss or Midboss is hit, Invincibility time will be triggered for that Boss.
Bosses and Midbosses are also more resistant towards elemental attacks
compared to other enemies. They take damage differently compared to normal
Enemies.
All Bosses and Midbosses take 1/2 the damage of all Attacks.
The Formula for the damage that Bosses receive is:
Final Damage = Int( Damage / 2 )
If Damage < 1 and Damage > 0, Damage = 1.
(This is calculated after effects that increase Attack Damage, and after
Elemental Attributes.)
In other words, Bosses take 50% of the damage, rounded down.
Bosses will take at least 1 Damage, as long as the Attack is above 0.
(Elemental Attributes can reduce the Attack to 0.)
================================================================================
- Elemental Properties -
************************
There are 3 elements in the game:
Flame
Ice
Thunder
There are some bosses with Elemental Attributes Types, which may be one of the
3 Elements.
Whenever using Elemental attacks on such Bosses, your damage will change.
-----------------------------------------------------------
| -Bosses- |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Flame Type |
| - Weak against - Thunder ( x 1.5 damage) |
| - Strong against - Flame ( x 0.5 damage) |
| - Immune to - Ice ( 0 damage) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Ice Type |
| - Weak against - Flame ( x 1.5 damage) |
| - Strong against - Ice ( x 0.5 damage) |
| - Immune to - Thunder ( 0 damage) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Thunder Type |
| - Weak against - Ice ( x 1.5 damage) |
| - Strong against - Thunder ( x 0.5 damage) |
| - Immune to - Flame ( 0 damage) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
The above only applies to Bosses and Midbosses. It does not apply to
normal enemies. You can see the effects of the Elemental Attack, if they
are weak against the Element.
For normal enemies, they are affected by Elemental Attacks differently.
-----------------------------------------------------------
| -Normal Enemies- |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Flame Type |
| - Weak against - Thunder ( x 1.5 damage) |
| - Strong against - Flame ( x 0.75 damage) |
| - Resistant to - Ice ( x 0.5 damage) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Ice Type |
| - Weak against - Flame ( x 1.5 damage) |
| - Strong against - Ice ( x 0.75 damage) |
| - Resistant to - Thunder ( x 0.5 damage) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Thunder Type |
| - Weak against - Ice ( x 1.5 damage) |
| - Strong against - Thunder ( x 0.75 damage) |
| - Resistant to - Flame ( x 0.5 damage) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
Certain Bosses can be stunned by their Elemental Weakness. But note that it is
possible for Bosses and normal enemies to be stunned by attacks they are not
weak against.
Damage is always in Integer. Elemental Damage is always calculated after
taking into consideration, the Attack Damage increasing effects.
Extra Effects-
Other effects of Elemental Attacks may happen.
Flame:
Burns away certain objects which cannot be destroyed normally.
No effect on normal enemies
Ice:
Freeze normal Enemies, and prevent them from doing Touch Damage Attack.
This lasts for a few seconds.
When this happens, the normal
Thunder:
Paralyze normal Enemies, and prevent them from doing Touch Damage Attack.
This lasts for a few seconds.
Miscellaneous:
Other effects may also happen, such as using Thunder Elemental Attacks to
Power up the Generators at the Energy Facility.
Note that when normal Enemies are paralyzed by Ice or Thunder Attacks, they
will have a split-second of Invulnerability, which can cause any attack to
completely miss.
================================================================================
- Invincibility -
*****************
Only Bosses have Invinicbility. Normal enemies do not have Invincibility.
Whenever you Attack and hit a Boss, the Boss will start flashing white, for
a short period of time. During this period of time, most of your Attacks
will not Hit or damage him. This is the Boss Invincibility Time.
Any Attack may hit while the Boss is not Invincible, but when the Boss is
Invincible, most attacks will not hit the Boss.
However, note that it is possible for Attacks to continue to Hit
the Boss during the Invincibility Time. This is where Combo Value comes in.
All Attacks have a Combo Value. The Combo Value denotes the Attack's priority
of how they ignore Invincibility.
When an Attack hits and damages a Boss, it will trigger Boss Invincibility.
For another attack to continue to hit and damage the Boss, this attack has
to have a higher Combo Value than the previous attack. And for the next
attack to ignore Invincibility, it must have an even higher Combo Value.
When an Attack Hits and Damages a Boss, the next Attack must have a higher
Combo Value in order to continue to Hit and Damage the Boss, during the
Boss Invincibility Time.
If an Attack has an equal or lower Combo Value to that of the last Attack that
managed to Hit and Damage the Boss, than the attack will not Hit at all.
The Invincibility Time for a Boss is 1.5 Seconds (90 Time Frames). This will
start counting down from the last Attack that managed to hit the Boss.
Attacks like Spin Jump Saber Slash and Burning Shot has hits with varying
Combo Values. Each hit has a higher Combo Value than the previous.
Certain attacks also cycle back and forth through Combo Value. This applies
to the Spin Dash Slash. In the case of the repeated Spin Dash Slash,
while the attacks are similar in hits and damage, they actually cycle from
Combo Value 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then cycle back to 1 again. That's how
it works. It goes from 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2, and so on, as long as you keep
the attack repeated.
Here are some examples:
E.g. 1
You use a Zero Knuckle attack (Combo Value 1) and hit the Boss.
The Boss now has Invincibility. You then jump in with the Saber Slash to
attack it (Combo Value 1). The Jump Slash will not hit and damage the Boss,
since it does not have a higher Combo Value than the previous Attack.
E.g. 2
You can fire a Normal Buster Shot at a Boss (Combo Value 0).
You then immediately use a Dash Slash (Combo Value 1).
The Dash Slash will still hit and damage the Boss, even after Invincibility,
since it has a higher Combo Value.
E.g. 3
You start off an attack against a Boss with a Stand 1st Slash (Combo Value 1).
Then a Stand 2nd Slash (Combo Value 2), and next a 3rd Slash (Combo Value 3),
and finally, a Jump Slash (Combo Value 1). The first attack will not be
stopped, since there is no Invincibility. The second attack has a higher Combo
Value than the first attack, so it will hit too. The third attack has an even
higher Combo Value than the second attack, so it will hit too. The forth
attack, will not hit at all, since it does not have a higher Combo Value than
the previous Attack.

===========
- CYBER ELF -
===========
- Cyber Elf -
You have one Cyber Elf for use. This Cyber Elf has various abilities, and may
be altered.
In your Cyber Elf Menu, the LV is displayed. This is the Maximum Level of each
Ability Class you can assign. At the Upper right corner, the upper number is
your Capacity Level. This is the number of Points you can assign without
suffering a Penalty for your Results Ranking Score. The lower number is the
Total Level. This is your Total Assigned Points, currently.
There are 3 Classes of Cyber Elf Ability. The first one with the red Icon
is Nurse Elf Ability, the second one with the green Icon is Animal Elf Ability,
and the third one with the blue Icon is Hacker Elf Ability.
Each of these Abilities have a Level. Each Levels of each Class will have
it's own effect.
While you can have the effects of different Classes at the same time, you can
only have one effect from each Class. The effects from one Level of a Class,
will not accumulate with another effect of another Level. Only the effect of
that particular Level will be taken into consideration.
(Exception for Ultimate Mode.)
At the Start, the Level Limit of your Cyber Elf is 0. You can increase this
Level Limit when you speak to Alluet, and spend E Crystals.
Points must be Assigned in order for the effects of the Ability Class
to be active. You Assign 1 Point for each Level of each Ability Class.
You have a Capacity Level. At the Start, your Capacity Level is 0.
As you complete more Missions, your Capacity Point Limit will increase.
During a Mission, if your total Assigned Points exceeds the Capacity
Level, at the end of the Mission at the Results, your Results Ranking Score
will receive a penalty based on the excess of Capacity Level.
Unfortunately, you will not receive a Bonus if your Total Assigned Points is
lower than your Capacity Level.
If no Cyber Elf Abilities are active, the Cyber Elf will not appear at all.
Your Cyber Elf is inactive.
E.g.
(If you have your Cyber Elf Max Level at Lv 3, you cannot assign 4 Points to
a single Ability Class to get a LV 4 Ability.)
(If you assign 2 Points to Animal Elf Ability, you will have the Lv 2 Animal
Elf Ability. You will not have the LV 1 Animal Elf Ability. You can activate
a Nurse or Hacker Elf Ability without affecting this.)
(If you have 3 Capacity Level Points, and you assigned 4 Points among the
Cyber Elf Abilities, you will receive a Penalty of 1 Point at the Results
Ranking Score.)
- Alluet -
When you Speak to Alluet and choose Cyber Elf, you have 3 Options.
The first Option allows you to increase the Level Limit, by spending
E Crystals. The Maximum is Level 7. Note that this is applicable only for
Normal Mode, as the other 3 Modes have fixed Max Levels.
The second Option allows you to changed the Assigned Points. This is already
in your Start Menu.
The third is to speak with the Cyber Elf. This does nothing, except for some
flavor text. As the Level gets higher, there will be more talk. Your Cyber
Elf may give you some clues for Gameplay or Recipe.
These are the Costs in E Crystals required to increase the Max Level for
Normal Mode.
Level 0 --> Level 1 50 E Crystals
Level 1 --> Level 2 100 E Crystals
Level 2 --> Level 3 300 E Crystals
Level 3 --> Level 4 600 E Crystals
Level 4 --> Level 5 1000 E Crystals
Level 5 --> Level 6 1500 E Crystals
Level 6 --> Level 7 3500 E Crystals
- Game Mode -
In Easy Mode, the default is Fixed at Level 5, and 15 Capacity Points.
In Hard Mode, the default is Fixed at Level 0, and 0 Capacity Points.
In Ultimate Mode, the default is Fixed at Level 7, and 21 Capacity Points.
In Normal Mode, you start at 0 Capacity Points, and your Maximum is
8 Capacity Points.
(Not counting the Elf Body Chip.)
- Cyber Elf Name -
When you are to receive your Cyber Elf from Alluet, after the Area Zero
Mission, you are given a chance to Name your Cyber Elf.
Alluet will ask you if you choose to Name your Cyber Elf as Crowarl. If you
say no, you can move around, and ask the other 5 people around. They will each
give you a Name suggestion. There are 6 Names in total. Pick the Name you want
and say yes. The Name you have will last for this Playthrough. In your next
playthrough, you get a chance to name your Cyber Elf again.
The name of the Cyber Elf will affect certain Abilities as well.

you will get 64 Life Points for your Life Gauge, and the effects are not
accumulative like Life Gauge +4 +8 +12 +16, and then multiplied by 4.)

- PARTS RECIPE -
==============
- Parts Basics -
As you defeat normal Enemies, some of the normal Enemies may drop their
respective Parts. These items have an appearence of a grey square icon with
a wrench. These Parts are randomly dropped, just like other Items.
You can store up to a Maximum of 9 of each Part.
These Parts are used in Recipes, in the creation of Chips or other Parts.
- Recipe Basics -
Speak to Celvo, and choose to create items. 2 Lists will appear in the Menu.
The first List is Recipe, the second list is Parts.
The Recipe List shows the Recipes that you have, as well as the Parts
required to make them. If you have not fulfilled the requirements for the
Recipe, you will see a Cross Icon. If you have fulfilled the requirements
for the Recipe, you will see a Circle Icon. If you have fulfilled the
requirements for the Recipe, and already have the Chip, you will see an
OK Icon. You cannot build the same Recipe again. For Parts which you did
not fulfill the requirement, they will be highlighted in red.
The Parts List shows the Parts that you have. You can choose to combine the
Parts manually. It is possible to create a Recipe manually, even if it does
not appear on the Recipe List initially. You choose at least 2 Parts, up to
4 Parts. You can then combine these Parts to create a new Chip or Part.
A correct Recipe combination will result in the corresponding Chip or Part,
and the Recipe will appear on the Recipe List. You cannot build the same
Recipe, if you already have the corresponding Chip.
Note that a non-Recipe mix, will always result in a Galacta Part.
The order of the Parts Combined will not matter.
(Note the number you use must also be exact. Suppose you have 2 Items in a
correct Recipe, then you add in a random Part. This will only result in a
wrong Combination, and you get only a Galacta.)
Parts that are used in the combination will be used up.

- SUBTANKS -
**********************************************************************
Subtanks are equipment that are used to store surplus Subtank, and used
to refill Zero's Life when necessary.
Subtanks are initially empty. Whenever Zero recovers an amount of Life when his
Life Gauge is Full, he will instead add that amount of Life to a Subtank. Each
Subtank can hold up to 32 Life Points.
Surplus Life Points will not be carried over. If Zero's Life Gauge is not Full,
and he is recovered Life, extra Life cannot be carried over to a Subtank.
Likewise, if a Subtank is not full, and it is then given enough Life Points to
make it full, the surplus Life Points will not carry over to the next Subtank.
If a Subtank has Life Points, you may use it to restore Zero's Life. If you use
the Subtank, one Life Point will be added to Zero's Life, and one Life Point
will be deducted from the Subtank, and this will keep repeating until Zero's
Life Gauge is full, or until that Subtank depletes and becomes empty. You will
not use up the Life Points from the Subtank that are not used to restore Zero's
Life. All unused Life Points from the Subtank remain as they are.
You may use any Subtank that has Life Points, but when filling up, the leftmost
Subtank has to be completely filled up before it will add Life Points to
another Subtank.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete Walkthrough
********************
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Notes:
- Start Points means the point from which you will continue should you lose
your Life.
- By default, Completing a Mission itself is 20 Points for Mission Score.
However, there are Missions with certain requirements that need to be
fulfilled in order to get a full Mission Score.
Entering Cyber Space will also deduct 5 Points from your Mission Score.
- For all stages, when you revisit the stage after the mission, there will be
no events throughout the stage (with a few exceptions). There will also be no
bosses at the end of the stage, and you will be teleported out when you reach
the Boss room. No Mission Result Ranking Score will be calculated. You may
choose to exit from the Stage anytime. All other changes for specific stage
changes will be noted.
- This walkthrough is written in such a way where you complete the Stage in
the fastest possible time. Important Items will be highlighted. Different
paths will also be noted. It is highly recommended that you actually go
through the Mission Stages as fast as possible for the first time,
to optimize your Ranking Score.
- For the 8 Stages, they have a Weather System, which causes differences to
the Stages. Such differences will be noted in the Walkthrough.
- Finally, last but not least, this advice may come as a surprise, but I
seriously recommend you don't use the Complete Walkthrough, unless you really
need to. It all depends on yourself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Prologue-
When you start the game, long events happen. Finally, you get to start your
first mission.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Giant Subdesert Ship -
Stage Strategy:-
This is the stage to first get familiar with your controls and actions.
First, you should set the configuration. I recommend changing the Attack
Type to B. Get used to the controls if you are not already. Know what each
of your Weapons do. This stage should be easy. This stage, unlike most of
the other Stages, will not be revisitable.
Go right, jump over the gap, and continue. Destroy the descending Variant
Fire, and the one in front. Jump over the gap and destroy a descending Variant
Fire. Continue forward and destroy another Variant Fire. Go to the edge, and
jump off to the right. There is a Lamp Lot X in front. To destroy it, you
can either wait until it turns around before attacking, or use the Zero
Knuckle to remove its shield and then attack it. Go forward, then up.
Destroy the 2 Variant Fires. Go right, and jump onto the next truck. Destroy
the 2 descending Variant Fires, and continue right. Before you jump over the
gap, note that there is an opening below. This path leads to a Retry. Take
it if you wish, then jump over the gap. Destroy the 2 Variant Fires, then
continue right. You can either jump over the gap, or take the E Crystal below
first. Destroy the Variant Fire and go right. Jump off to the right.
There are 3 crates in front of you. You can destroy them, but if you use
the Zero Knuckle on them, you can Assimilate a Burst Bomb Weapon. Go forward,
and destroy the Arc Cannon. Destroy the Lamp Lot X in front. Go right then
up, and destroy the 2 Variant Fires. Go right and jump off, but do not jump
too far, as you will be in range of the attack from a Lamp Lot X. Destroy
it and continue. There is a crate below. Go right and destroy the Arc Cannon.
Continue and destroy a Variant Fire, then go right and destroy an Arc Cannon.
Take the Large Life Energy if you wish. Go right and then up. Go right.
There will be an event, and you will end up in the next part of the stage.
*Start Point*
There are 2 Large Life Energy above, but you can take them only if you have
Double Jump. Go right and continue. Watch out for missiles that appear, and
quickly destroy them. Destroy the Gyro Cannon H. Continue all the way right,
while watching out for 2 missile launchers. Go right, and there will be an
event.
*Start Point*
You will fight the Boss of this Stage - Subdesert Core.
Boss Strategy:-
This Boss is a large target, and will not move. It will occasionally send
out Beam Walkers, which are not much of a problem. In one attack, it will
use 2 Spark trails that curve while travelling forward. Stay in the left
middle on the ground of the screen to avoid it. It will also send out
attacks of 4 wide beams. To avoid the beams, you have to constantly Dash
under them. There are Blue Wires just below the core. If you rip out 2
of these wires using the Zero Knuckle, the Beam will become much more narrow.
If you rip out all 4 of the Wires, the Subdesert Core cannot use the Beam
attacks at all. It is recommended that you only pull out 2 wires, since
the Beams become narrow and unlikely to hit you.
After you defeat the Boss and Results show, there will be an event.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- New Resistance Transportation Vehicles -
There will be a long dialogue and you can Save your game. Head out and enter
the room on the left. Talk to Celvo. Here, you can mix Parts for Recipes.
Return and talk to Ciel. There will be a long dialogue. You can choose to
continue with your next Mission. There will be a long dialogue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although it is not eternity,
For now, I wish to be by your side.

- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
============================
-----
Q: Can I contact you?
A: Only if you have a contribution.
Quite frankly, if you need questions answered, you may be better off asking
the other FAQ writers.
All Emails must have Rockman/Megaman Zero 3 in the subject title.
All Emails must contain a Contribution. This includes, but is not limited
to: Unknown facts, helpful tips, mistake corrections,
constructive suggestions. Emails without any contributions will be
deleted and blocked.
If you want to ask a question, you must have a contribution first.
USE PROPER ENGLISH! NO ROMS REQUEST! NO FLAMES OR HATEMAIL!
If you keep this in mind, you can contact me at:
cyberakumamechgouki (at) yahoo (dot) com
Remove spaces, and replace brackets with correct punctuation.
Remember, if you do not follow any of my instructions, I will delete and
block your email without hesitation.
-----
Q: Can I contribute to your guide?
A: All contributions are more than welcomed. If you can help me, please do so.
If you know of something that I don't, please inform me.
Just because I don't have something like Boss Strategies now, doesn't
mean I will never have it. If you have good strategies, I don't mind your
input.
-----
Q: Can you tell me where to get the rom?
A: Get out of my face before I kick your *BEEP* !!
-----
Q: Help! I am missing some entries in the Database.
A: For the 4 Sets, Boss, Enemy A, and Character, will be filled, as long as you
play the game normally, and remember to Speak to the characters. You do not
have to worry about these 3 Sets, as they are filled automatically.
For the Enemy B set, which applies to all Enemies, note that some Enemies
appear from other Enemies. For example, the Bomaiders appear from the
Mecha Mezon. You need to find all of such enemies.
-----
Q: How do I obtain EX Skills?
A: Unlike before, obtaining EX Skills is no longer dependant on Rank Level.
Getting EX Skills is now dependant on the Weather of the Stage. You will
have to Complete the Mission with the Weather Level of the Stage at Normal.
This is the Weather making the stage more difficult.
The Normal Weather Level will be highlighted in Red.
You cannot obtain EX Skills in Easy or Hard Mode.
-----
Q: What are the first 4 Stages that you recommend for me to go first?
A: The 4 Stages I would recommend you to go first would of course be the
easiest.
They are:
Deep Ocean - Tech Kraken
Underground Forest - Norbil Mandrago
Scorching Particle Cannon - Heat Genblem
Cold Sleep Facility - Fenriy Luna-Edge
Heat Genblem's Scorching Particle Cannon Stage is also important, as it
contains parts for you to get the Double Jump Foot Chip, and the
Strong Body Chip.
For the rest of the Stages, it is recommended that you try them after
obtaining the Double Jump Foot Chip and Strong Body Chip.
-----
Q: Where can I find the Maul Roid enemy?
A: This is the Hammer Enemy, that appears only in the Base Camp Rescue Mission
which appears after you have completed 4 of the Boss Missions.
This is the only time where it appears, and you cannot revisit this Stage
again in the same Playthrough.
-----
Q: How can I destroy the Poor Elf?
A: You need to Assimilate one of the Lighting Units with the Zero Knuckle.
Use these Lighting Units to force the Poor Elf away from you. You need to
force a Poor Elf into the Sunlight to destroy it. You can only do this in
the Sunny Weather.
It is not possible to do this in Hard Mode.
-----
Q: Where is the Ceramical Chitan?
A: This is a Part that does not have an Enemy. You find it in various Stages.
-----
Q: Which method is the easiest to get E Crystals?
A: Go to Random Bandom's Stage. Just go to any of the rooms where the
Crossbines appear. The Crossbines appear infinitely. Make sure you have
Hacker Elf LV 5, than attack them.
-----
Q: Which is the best way to get Ceramical Chitan Parts?
A: Go to Craft's Ragnarok Control Room Stage. From the start, do a Dash
Double Jump to the right, and grab on to the bars. It is within reach.
-----
Q: How do I get into the electrical door in Fenriy Luna-Edge's Stage?
A: At the start of the stage, notice that there are 2 paths you can choose to
take to continue? You have to take the lower Path. If the Weather is
Snowing, the lower path will be blocked by Ice. You will need to use either
Heat Genblem's Shouenga EX Skill, or Assimilate a Weapon from the
Variant Fire, to melt the Ice. Continue down the Conveyor Belts. You will
see a Hikyal Nicos C. This one, is carrying a Card Key. Assimilate this
Enemy with the Zero Knuckle.
Make sure you keep this all the way to the Electrical Door. When you get
there, attack door side with the Card Key, and you can open the Door.
Inside is a Subtank.
-----
Q: Do I need to make all Chips to get Ultimate Mode?
A: No. You just need all Parts, and your Cyber Elf at LV 7.
-----
Q: Are there any ladders in this game?
A: No. All ladders are removed. Instead, you have handhold bars.
-----
Q: Help me! I can't read Japanese! I can't tell Part from Part, and the Recipe
keeps failing!
A: Get a Japanese Dictionary, and try to identify the Katakana. Try and match,
and see which reading matches the one closest to what I have listed.
If you still have difficulties, check the Parts List and Database List that
I have as well, and make the comparisons yourself.
That is all the help I can give you. You can't honestly expect me to tell
you how to identify each and every part and read for you every single name!
If you don't know Japanese, it's your own problem, sorry.
I can't help every guy out there who doesn't know Japanese, and I can't help
him identify each and everything!
-----
Q: I have just completed the game. What does Ciel say at the ending?
A: Are you sure you want to know? Okay, this is what I have managed to
translate. Keep in mind this is not 100% accurate, though.
*SPOILERS*
"Zero, I... We had always entrusted you to fight our battles. You
always came back. Look around, Zero. Repliroids and Humans are now
walking hand-in-hand. Because of you, the war is over, and now, we are at
peace. So Zero, you have to return. Zero, I believe in you!"

Q: How do I get to Ghost Sigma?
A: Ghost Sigma, Green Biker dude, rush X, and whatever crap you have heard,
are pure bullshit. They are bullshit cooked up by idiots who have nothing
better to do with their time.
The next time you see someone describe Ghost Sigma, communicate with him
using your middle finger and your asshole. It's the only language they
will understand.
-----
Q: But Ghost Sigma does exist! He is a optional Boss at...
A: Cut the bullshit and shut the hell up. Which part of Ghost Sigma does not
exist did you fail to understand? Ghost Sigma being existant is about as
truthful as the fact that you have brains. And that's speaking a lot.
Tell this to someone who cares. Get lost, and shove that bullshit back
up your ass.
For the last time, tell you Ghost Sigma tales to someone else! I don't
need this BS.
-----
Q: But Ghost Sig...
A: SHUT THE HELL UP, RETARD!!
-----
Q: The names that you use are wrong.
A: That is for me to decide, not for you to judge.
For the US and Europe Version gamers, let me make it perfectly clear to you
that I am writing based on the Jap version, so whatever names that they used
for the US and Europe Version WILL NOT MATTER TO ME! Would you like to
argue about Elpis / Elpizo and Megaman / Rockman too? Whatever your
theories are, I don't want to hear them.
For those Japanese Literate people, keep in mind that there is no such thing
as a 100% Accurate translation for the names of People and Places, when you
translate Katakana to English. You of all people should know that. These
translations are subjective. There is no absolute right or wrong. You
are not any more right than I am, so don't declare me as wrong!
I simply use translations I feel to be correct. What makes you think
others are wrong?
-----
Q: I am writing my own guide. Can I use some information in your guide?
A: You must specifically ask me for permission. If you do not have my
permission, then you may not use it. Ask for permission first.
If you take my information without giving proper credit, you are also liable
to be sued by me. I can take legal actions on you if you do not have proper
credits. This is not a joke.
THIS FAQ IS PROTECTED BY LAW. IF YOU USE INFORMATION FROM HERE, YOU MUST
SEEK PROPER PERMISSION AND GIVE PROPER CREDIT. LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN
AGAINST YOU IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO.
