Hello to one and all who is reading this guide or is going to read this guide
or has read the guide. I am Colt.45Magnum and I'll be your host till you read
this guide (actually the host is GameFAQs, Neoseeker and Super Cheats, but...).
Anyway, enough of my jabbering, welcome to my guide for Inazuma Eleven 2:
Firestorm and Blizzard. This guide's purpose is to be a guide for you for this
game in every possible aspect. This guide covers the game's story as well as
the side quests and all of the features of the game. So, let's get this show on
the field, shall we?

Also, for the record, I've also written a guide for this game's predecessor.
And, as a last note, I'll use the word SOCCER instead of football, in order to
avoid conflict with the countries which don't call this sport football.

This pair of games is a direct sequel of the previous one. Mark's team has just
won the Soccer Frontier and is living up their dream. Everything seems perfect,
but not for long. A black coloured meteor strikes down Raimon, Mark's school,
and wrecks havoc to it. The culprit is none other than a soccer team, and that
too of extra-terrestrials. Now it's up to Mark and the gang to build up a
soccer team which is best in the whole world by travelling across the country
and teaming up with best of the players. But there is something which is more
than what meets the eye.

This game is a soccer RPG, just like its predecessor. This means, you've to
play matches as well as do the usual RPG stuff to beat this game's story mode.
Therefore, the gameplay has two parts; RPG and soccer.

RPG Part: You get to roam around, play mini soccer battles, interact with
people, collect items and so on, just the usual RPG stuff. The controls and
mechanics of this part are quite simple and can be easily mastered, whether
you've played a RPG title or not.

Soccer Part: Now comes the main part of the whole game, soccer. Your goal (oh
no, I'm not gonna crack the same joke twice) is to defeat the Alius Academy.
For this, you've to play matches against them and win. This is the only part
where you can get any real trouble, so the guide will concentrate more on
getting through this part.

  / /__ --------------------------------------------------------------- __\ \
 /____/=================================================================\____\

This section describes about some of the basics of the game, which are carried
over from the previous game. So, here they are:

 ____
|   /======================O
|  /_Matches And Battles~~
|/| /======================O
  |/

Before we start, here's a quick and brief run-down of the difference between a
match and a battle:

Matches are full length matches which are played against a team of 11 players.
It consists of two halves and has only one way to win; score a higher number of
goals than the opponent. They are only available through certain peoples or
storyline events.

Battles, on the other hand, are matches which are played against a team of 4
players. These battles are of length of 1/4th of the real match and have
various criteria to win. They can be initialized anywhere outside by walking
around.

Before we proceed, however, please note that the following section is copied
from the my previous guide, so if you've read this stuff before, then feel free
to skip to the New Features section.

And now, here is the stuff for which this section is intended:

|===============|
 |Special Moves|
|===============|

At the start of Chapter 1, you unlock the ability to use some really cool
looking moves aka Special Moves for every type of work you do, and it's an
essential part of the game. It's done by clicking on the lightning icon in the
middle of the menu (which pops out when you are in a duel) and selecting the
move which you desire. The move you choose determine whether you succeed or
not. This success rate is greatly determined by the element of the player and
the move itself, which is explained a little further down.

Each player has four special moves which he learns while playing through the
story or by leveling up. In addition to this, each of them has two additional
slots which can be filled in with the moves of your choice. This means you can
teach a move to a player who does not have a move of that genre. For instance,
a player who is deficient of a defense move can learn a defense move, which
greatly increases its efficiency. Prefer a move which matches the player's
element for best results.

|===========|
 |TP and FP|
|===========|

TP and FP are the two health bar equivalents of the game. TP means Technique
Points and is used in a battle for the usage of special moves. If it gets low
enough, you won't be able to use special moves.

FP stands for Fitness Points and is the measure of the player's fitness. If it
is low, then the player will move slowly, miss the passes a lot, get pinned
down easily etc. In short, you have to be fit every time so that you can do
best in a match. You can refill your team's TP and FP either by using edibles
(the VERY long and costly way) or by Rejuvenation Points (which cost a little
Prestige Points).

|==========|
 |Elements|
|==========|

Element refers to the kind of player. In this game, there are four kinds- Fire,
Wood, Air, Earth. The elements are a key factor which determines the success of
a player or a move, as each element is stronger against one element and weaker
against other. For instance, fire beats wood, wood beats air, air beats earth
and earth beats fire. This means a fire type player (like Axel) has a better
chance of succeeding against a wood type player (like Kevin) but he has a lower
chance of succeeding against an earth type player (like Mark). The left out
element (if continuing the previous example, wind type) has no effect on that
particular element (fire type from the previous example). In that case, the win
is decided by the form.

|======|
 |Form|
|======|

The form is a numerical value, the greater the form, the greater the chances
of winning a duel. This, when combined with elements give good results, as a
player with form lower than the opponent can win if his element is higher and
a player with a lower type element can win the duel if he has a considerably
high form.

|=======|
 |Stats|
|=======|

Each player has 7 stats which represents his strength and weaknesses. A low
stat means that the selected player is weaker in that section and work is
needed to improve that player in that area. Although if a specific stat is
raised too much, other stats of the player starts to drop, so be cautious while
training a player. The stats and their descriptions are as follows-

Kick    Determines the power of kick of the player. Higher the kick, higher the
        chances of scoring goal.
Body    Not really sure about it.
Control Determines the control of the player on the ball. The higher it is,
        the higher the chances are of keeping the ball under possession after a
        successful duel.
Guard   Determines the defensive skill of a player. The higher it is, the
        higher the chances of defending the ball from an opponent.
Speed   Determines the speed of a player. The higher it is, the easier it is to
        reach the opponent and perhaps (not sure of it), to win the duels.
Stamina Determines the player's capability to last in matches. The higher it
        is, the longer the player lasts in a match without tiring out.
Guts    Determines the player's will to take on an opponent. The higher it is,
        the more likely the player will face the opponent, otherwise he will
        just cower away.

|==========|
 |Time Out|
|==========|

During a match or a battle, a small red hand appears on the upper right corner
of the touch screen. This is the Time Out button. Press it to pause the match
so that you can plan your next move. It's very useful for setting up players
for further actions, like positioning players for attacks beforehand. Once used
it takes about 10 seconds to be enabled.

|==========|
 |Fired Up|
|==========|

There's a 'fired up' unlocked at the start of the first match. It does three
things:
1. Reduces the cost of TP used to 3/4.
2. Makes the moves stronger.
3. Raises the chance to win the match.

It's a good thing to use in a match. But be sure to use it on a right time, as
it can only be used once per match and it lasts for about 1/4th of the total
match. I'd say you use it when the 2nd half is halfway done, that way it'll be
most effective.

|  /_RPG~~
|/| /======O
  |/

Here are the features related to the RPG part of the game:

|============|
 |Recruiting|
|============|

Kinda like the feature from the Pok�mon franchise, you can 'collect' aka
recruit a player in your team. This can be done by three methods: scouting,
recruiting and connection map. For detailed information on these three, please
check the Scouting And Recruiting System section of this guide.

|=======|
 |Shops|
|=======|

Another useful thing in the Inazuma town is the shops. They are two types of
them- Sports Shop and Convenient Store. The first sells soccer kits, which are
used to power up certain abilities of the players who wear them or to just look
cool. These kits are dealt in a different section called Apparel and Items.

The second sells edibles which are used to refill the TP and FP of the team
member. This is also dealt in the section Apparel And Items.

You can also sell anything from your inventory for some Prestige Points. Good
feature if you're in a dire need of some Prestige Points.

|===================|
 |Apparel And Items|
|===================|

In this game after a certain point, you are able to buy new uniforms and kits
for your team from various shops scattered around the Inazuma Town. The
uniforms you purchase can be worn through the Info->Team Strip option. These
uniforms are just to customize the look of your team. But the other apparels
are useful. They include bracelets, boots and gloves (for keeper only). These
three items have varied effect on the players. For example, a bracelet raises
power of the player and another bracelet increases the guts of the player. You
can equip these items from Item->Equipments option. These items prove vital
against strong foes and can level the match which you otherwise are losing.

Another purchasable available in the game is the edibles. They refill TP and FP
of the selected player. Their effects vary from one item to another.

The last kind of purchasable available in this game is the special move
manuals. These manuals can be used to teach a player a move. There are four
colours which indicate the type of move: red for striking move, blue for
dribbling move, yellow (I do think it's more like orange, but oh well) for
goalkeeping and green for defending. You may also notice that each move has its
own element. If taught to the person who has the element same as the move, the
move's strength increases. Also, a manual with a grey background is a rare
move, which can be only obtained randomly. These moves also vary in strength,
which can be seen by the number of lightning bolts on the move. One lightning
bolt means low power move, two means medium power and three means high power
move.

|=======================================|
 |Prestige Points and Friendship Points|
|=======================================|

Prestige Points are the currency of this game, which can be earned by winning
matches and battles and selling something from your inventory in the shop.
These points have a varied use: first, you can use them for recharging your
team up through Rejuvenation Points. Second, you can buy items from the shops
through Prestige Points and third, you can use them for special training at the
Special Training Spot.

Friendship Points, unlike Prestige Points are targeted on a specific task; to
recruit the players through scouting. Each player requires a specific amount of
Friendship Points before you can recruit him to the team. Friendship Points,
just like Prestige Points are collected through winning matches and battles.
Beware though, you lose both of these points if you lose a match or battle.

Since like eternity, every sequel aims to have newer features than its predece-
ssors, and Inazuma Eleven 2 is no exception. This game comes with lots of new
features, each of which are discussed in this section. Please note that I
haven't gone deeply into the matches' mechanics, since I already wrote about
them in the previous guide, and it would be tiresome to write it down all over
again for me. Besides, the things which have changed are covered right here and
nothing in the core gameplay has changed, so don't worry about that. Plus, the
only one playing this game will be the one who've played the previous game...
most likely.

In this subsection, I'll describe some of the new features related to soccer
playing. Now, as for the changes in them, here are they:

|============|
 |Shot Scope|
|============|

First up in the changes section is the shot scope. When you take a shot, either
normally or by S icon, a blue cone is shown. This is the shot scope; which
shows the area under which the shot can land. Use this to your advantage, since
you can predict your shot's accuracy by looking at the player's angle to the
goal and the shot scope. Then you can change the cursor which directs the
direction of the shot for a perfect hit... well, almost perfect anyway.

|============|
 |The S Icon|
|============|

The best, in my opinion, addition in the whole game is the S icon, which is
located just below the time out icon. When used, this allows the player to take
shots from anywhere of the field. This means you can take a shot all the way
from the goal to the opponent's goal. This, when used in tandem with the
special moves for long distance and a drained out goalkeeper will yield
extraordinary results. This means, if you use this icon with a player who has a
long distance shot, like Patriot Shot, Rainbow Arc, Tsunami Boost etc. then you
can take a shot from virtually anywhere. Plus, if you drain the opponent goalie
with some quick attack, then you're virtually unstoppable. This technique has
two little drawbacks, however. First, it can be a little off the mark sometimes
if you take the shot from the side. The solution is simple; try to take the
shot from the centre of the field and before taking the shot, make sure that
the shot is going to hit the goal by checking the goal with +Control pad. The
second problem is this; if an opponent defender has a move which can be used to
block a shot, then it may reduce the power of your shot or maybe even stop it
altogether. So, make sure that no one has those kinds of move or at least the
guy with the move is not in the way. If he's in the way, the shot scope will
turn red, otherwise it will be blue. Use this technique when in a dire need of
a goal or when you're aiming for a S rank in Extra/Premium Competition Routes,
in conjunction with the TP draining technique on goalie. Now after all the S
icon discussion, it's time to see...

|===============|
 |Shot Blocking|
|===============|

In my opinion, it's more like a counter measure against the S icon, but it has
its purpose. If a player has a specific move set, like The Wall, Fire Tornado,
Volcano/Spinning Cut etc., then he can stop an incoming shot, provided the
player is in the way of the shot. When in the range of blocking the shot, the
shot scope will turn red. This technique has two effects, it can either stop
the shot completely or it can lower the power of the shot, making it more
probable to block a seemingly unstoppable shot. If the shot's power is lowered,
then the goalkeeper is presented with a choice to act by choosing a move to
stop the shot, which adds to the flexibility of the team's defense. Also, if
the shot is taken from the penalty area (i.e. a normal shot) and a defender
comes in the way, then too he can act by defending, but after letting the
goalkeeper choose his line of action.

|==========================|
 |Developing Special Moves|
|==========================|

A feature which opted to change the playing style of many of the TP
conservators (including me), this feature allows to make a move more powerful
by excessive usage of the move. In other words, the more you use the same move,
the more powerful it will become. There are two kinds of moves and two types of
leveling up according to the type of the moves. The first type of moves are
normal moves, which level up by level 1 and level 2. The second type of moves
are the Mega moves, which level up by L1, L2, L3, L4 and finally L5. These
moves take twice the time to go up one level. This means, if it took 10 uses to
evolve a move to level 1, then it will take around 20 uses to evolve the move
to level 2. Also, the evolution depends on the TP of the move and the frequency
of the usage of move. The more the both of them are, the faster the move
evolves. The only Mega moves I currently know are Fireball Storm, Legendary
Wolf, Death Zone 2, Fist Of Justice, Mugen The Hand, God Break, Emperor Penguin
No. 1, Beast Fang and Infinite Wall. Funnily enough, they are no defense or
dribbling mega moves.

|============|
 |Alter Egos|
|============|

Some players, after chapter 3 have two types of personalities, usually in the
sense of positions. These alternate personalities are called alter egos. This
allows a player to play two positions in a single match without worrying about
adjusting the said player in that position by using move manuals. For example,
there's a goalie which you can also use as a striker. Same goes for two
defenders, which doubles as strikers as well. This feature will come in handy
for two premium competition route matches.

|========|
 |Skills|
|========|

Another addition to the game is skill. It takes up a slot in the move list,
just like a normal move. But instead of doing anything in actual; it does a
little bit different job. A skill boosts a specific power, mostly based on
stats or luck. They are quite a lot of them and each has a different effect,
so it's best to teach a skill to a player who has a use for them, like teach
Defense Plus to a defender or goalie etc.

The RPG part hasn't changed much from the previous game. However, there is one
change which is surpasses every other change till now. While you play through
the soccer battles/matches, the whole team evolves. This means, a part of the
total experience earned is distributed among the players who weren't present in
the playing eleven or bench five. This makes training all of your players much
easier.

|================|
 |Old Pin Badges|
|================|

A new collect type feature, this can be accessed after chapter 3. At the
shopping area of Tokyo, there is a shop called Raijin Models (which was part of
the story in the previous game, during Brainwashing chapter). If you have old
pin badges and you talk to the owner there, he'll take your badges and give you
something in exchange. Here's the list of all the things which he gives as a
reward.

|=====================================|
|5 Badges | Baby Dragon move manual   |
|10 Badges| Study move manual         |
|20 Badges| |


|==========|
 |New Shop|
|==========|

In this game, the shop's numbers have been increased from two to three. A blue
icon shop is a kits shop, known in this game as Kool Kits. A purple icon shows
a move manual shop, known as Magic Moves. Lastly, the orange icon represents an
items shop, known as G-Mart. In the first shop, you can buy kits and other
accessories for your team. The second type of shop offers move manuals, which
you can teach to your team mates. And the third one sells all kinds of edibles,
used to refill TP and FP.

  / /__ --------------------------------------------------------------- __\ \
 /____/=================================================================\____\

In this section, I'll describe some of the tactics which I use while playing.
They are not necessarily perfect and may not suit you, but they may give a hint
on the style of playing the matches. You can send your own strategies if you
want to, I'll include them if they are good.

|===========================|
 |Drawing In, Spreading Out|
|===========================|

This strategy is best used during your own kickoff, but you can use it during
dribbling as well. After you initially pass the ball, pass it back to the
midfielders and let them keep it till the opponents' player start to come
towards you, then slowly keep passing the ball forward, all the while keeping
the same pattern of drawing the opponent near you. Meanwhile, keep your own
strikers going to the spots previously occupied by those opponent players. Use
this in conjugation of the centering technique (described below) for maximum
efficiency.

|===========|
 |Centering|
|===========|

One of my most used tactic (and perhaps of many of the soccer teams in the
world), it's best used when you're using a side oriented formation like
Butterfly or Phoenix. This strategy involves getting the ball to a team mate,
who's standing at the side and get past the initial defenders through him, all
the while getting another player to back him up. Then finally pass the ball in
or around the penalty area, to be picked by your striker, who'll take the shot.
This strategy works best against formations which involves more emphasis on
centre, like Infinite Wall or Midfield Block. This strategy also works against
teams which have their defenses spread outside of the penalty area, like teams
with Super Star 5 formation or Epsilon.

|====================|
 |Countering Offside|
|====================|

Okay, I said centering is one of the most efficient ways to counter Super Star
5 formation. But, it has a problem. The defenders are spread out too far from
each other, so a centering can also mean an offside. Combining this with the
fact that this game's offside mechanism is sometimes a little too unreal, makes
this formation a pain in the nape to deal with. So, what's the solution? Use
centering, but instead of passing at the penalty area, keep going forward.
Meanwhile, get a striker near the penalty circle (remember, time out is your
best friend). Once you do that, back pass (attention: back pass, not side or
front pass) to that striker and take a shot. Back passing allows you to
eliminate the risks of getting offside and gives you a superior position to
shoot.

|======================|
 |Exploiting The Fouls|
|======================|

This strategy is devised by me and my brother.

There are times when you do a foul and the other team gets a free kick. You can
exploit this opportunity for yourself. If the free kick is taken from the 
opponent's penalty area, then do this. When you're given the choice to position
your players, surround each and every player in the opponent area with two
players of your own (except the player who is going to take the shot) and keep
one player in the center of the area. This makes sure that you get the ball
away from the defenders who get the ball as soon as they get them. Also, a man
in the center ensures ball possession in case the goalkeeper passes the ball
directly to the midfielders, as he usually does so by passing the ball in the
middle. Do the same when the free kick is taken from outside of the penalty
area, but place a player near the goalkeeper, so you get the ball back passed
to the goalkeeper. You have to be quick in order to get the shot, otherwise the
goalkeeper will get the better of you (and the ball). The same tactics apply to
the throw in. But, when the free kick is taken near your goal, gather all the
defenders and midfielders near the goal and man mark each of the player near
the goal (again, except the one who's taking the shot). This ensures maximum
safety for your goal. Also, place a striker or two up front to get the ball
away from their defenders.

|========================|
 |Getting Easy Penalties|
|========================|

This strategy was devised by my brother.

There are quite a lot of goalkeepers who have defense moves. But for some wierd
reason, whenever they do so, mostly a foul happens. And when this happens in
the penalty area, you get a penalty shot i.e., an easy way to get a goal. So,
whenever you see a goalkeeper with a defense move, just barge into him and
force him to use his move, either by using your own dribbling move, or just by
luck. And since the goalkeeper's move almost always succeed, you'll get a
penalty, around 80 percent of the time. As for the penalties, shoot in the
middle, the goalkeepers tend to jump sideways more.

|=========================================|
 |Raising The Probability To Get The Goal|
|=========================================|

Apart from using really strong shots to steamroll the opponent's goalkeeper,
there are other techniques which can raise the probability to gain a goal. Some
of them are described below:

1. Try a 2-top formation and get both of your strikers in the opponent's
penalty area, with one of the strikers having the ball and keeping each of them
at the sides. Let the goalkeeper come towards you and then pass the ball to the
other striker at the side. This gives you a open goal to feast on. Be careful
though, don't do the final pass forward, try to keep it horizontal or a little
downwards to avoid those offside. This strategy is quite hard, I know, but it's
one of the best ways to get a goal if done right.

2. Drain the goalkeeper out by using normal shoots and chip shots, all the
while covering the penalty area and getting the ball away from the opposite
defenders. Once the goalkeeper is drained, he'll be at your mercy.

3. As an extension to the above strategy, use a long shot against a drained out
goalkeeper.

|================================|
 |Appropriately Using Long Shots|
|================================|

The best time to use a long shot is when (1) the player taking the shot is at
least at the midline; (2) the goalkeeper is drained out of his TP and (3) there
are no defenders who can use long shot blocking defense moves in the way. It's
hard to get the third condition fulfilled, so the best thing is to take the
shot as close to the goal as possible and from the centre to get the maximum
accuracy.

After the initial cutscene (the earthly part is skipable by the Start button),
you start off at Mark's Street area. Go back to Mark's house and open the chest
at the right of the house for Rice Ball. Now go back to the path where you
started and walk forward. After a few steps, a kid will come and explain you
the basics of the game (see the old man's reaction after the "horse's mouth").
After the dialogue, talk to the old man if you want, he'll tell you the basics
of the HUD and walking. Also, if you don't talk to the old man, you've to set
the camera back with L/R buttons. Now go ahead and take a right or left and
follow the road. At the end of the area, you'll be asked whether you want to
go to the main map. Choose yes and then select the River Bank area with the
stylus or +Control pad. Tap with the stylus or press A button to go to this

After that, head right to the next area.

Follow the road above to the end for Milk. Now head down the first set of
stairs in the area and take the Rice Ball at the right of the stairs. Now head
to the flag icon and talk to any one of the guys to initiate a cutscene. After
the rather long cutscene for the start, you'll gain control and will be
required to go to the Raimon building to check out the happenings. Head
straight under the bridge and select Raimon from the menu.

Chests: 8

After the initial scene, you'll be pitted against a team of four for your first
soccer battle. After the info on match controls, you get to select your team
up with the Menu option. Change the formation if you like and then start the
match with the Start button (duh). Beat the match and watch the ensuing
cutscene (funny one IMO). After the scene, you've to go to the clubroom to
investigate. Go to the lower left corner of the area and open the chests there
for Rice Ball and Milk. Now go to the upper right corner and take the Mineral
Water near the green haired boy. Now climb up the stairs near the boy and grab
the Cookie Bar at the left of the main door of the school. Now head to the next
area.

In this area, go to the soccer clubroom (where everyone was gathered earlier in
the cutscene) and press A at the pile of rubble at the right of the clubroom. A
path will be revealed, where you have to go. But, before going there, go to the
left and take the Milk which is beside a ruined building. Now head down and go
down the stairs. Hang a left and take the Fresh Boots. Now go down and turn
right when you hit the wall. Follow the path till you hit the wall again and
take the Rice Ball from the chest there. Now go up, then right, then up and
take the Cookie Bar from the chest there (I'm sounding more and more like a
tourist guide now). Now head into the hole you made earlier.

Walk until the end of the corridor and talk to the man standing there. After
the frisking, head inside the room. After the scene, you've to go to Umbrella
Junior High. You've unlocked two things in the process of watching this scene;
first, you can now have soccer battles throughout the area and second, you can
now read Silvia's blog for hints related to current objectives. Soccer battles
can be initiated anywhere in the outside area at random, by walking around. The
blog can be read by going to the Menu-->Info-->Blog. After all this talk, it's
time to move on to the story. Get out and go to the divider. As soon as you
reach there, you're challenged for a soccer battle. Win it and go across the
divider and to the front gate and then to Umbrella Junior High. Also, fix back
the camera with L/R buttons.

The match starts with an introduction of the S icon. After the VS. screen, you
can change the team's formation by using Info button. Choose any formation you
want and hit OK. Then hit next to see the rival team's formation, moves and
levels, the latter of the three accessible by the Info button. After checking
everything out, hit next to start the match by Start button. Try to keep up
with Gemini if you want, although it'll be a tad useless. After 15 minutes of
the 1st half, a cutscene ensues. After that, you'll be asked to add a player to
the team. Do so and start the 2nd half.

After the 2nd half starts, you've an objective to pass the ball to Jude (the
guy in the goggles and cape) and use Inazuma Break. Do it if you can, since
Axel can steal the ball now from the opponents (although others can't). Pass it
to Jude and use Inazuma Break. Alternatively, if an opponent player reaches the
goal, you've to use God Hand to stop the shot and then take the shot with Jude
(funnily enough, if I remember it right, Jude's pose of taking the ball was
quite fishy...). After the ensuing cutscene, the match will end.

You'll end up in the hospital. Your objective changes to get back to Raimon.
You've also unlocked the take the ball type soccer battles by completing this
match.

You'll start in the bus. Talk to Mr. Veteran to start your journey to Nara. And
since, we've no choice, we might as well do it. After you talk to him, you'll
be taken to the world map selection screen. Select Nara from the screen, then
City to reach the city. After the ensuing cutscene, you'll unlock the scouting
system. Check the Scouting and Recruiting System section of the guide for more

Task: Ask the locals where the PM was abducted!
Chests: 8

Go right and open the chest just in front of the cat for a Comet Shot move
manual. Now go up the stairs and then hang a right. Take the Mineral Water just
at the right of the Magic Moves shop (indicated by a purple icon on the map).
Now head left, following the road.

Take the 25 Friendship Points at the team's right. Now head straight ahead and
talk to the guy in black, who's in front of the stairs. After the scene, head
back to the previous area. Get at the end of first set of stairs and you'll get
your ticket to go into the Deer Park... more or less. Head back to that guard
and talk to him (or Celia). After the scene (poor guy), head straight to enter
the Deer Park.

Head straight and take the Sports Drink from the chest in front of the cherry
blossom tree. Now go left and take the 120 Prestige Points from the chest which
is on that wood structure by the water. Now, head to the right and take the
Cookie Bar near the two red roofed shade areas. Now recharge your team up with
the Rejuvenation Point if necessary and head on to the next area.

Upon entering this area, you'll see two paths (by path I mean the dirt path);
one going right and other going left. Take the left path and follow it. Take
the Stamina Bar near the deer (wow that rhymes) and keep following the path
till you end up back at the starting area. Now head right, following the path.
Go left once the path ends and take the Chequered Boots from the right side of
the monument. Now head straight to the Deer monument, located at the centre of
the area. After the ensuing scene, you play a match against Secret Services. I
almost forgot to mention, you should scout out at least three players before
you play the match if you want this to be easier. Go to the bus and use the
videophone at the left of the bus to scout players. Refer to the Scouting and
Recruiting System section of the guide for a detailed rundown of scouting
system.

HOW IN THE HOLY HECK DID THEY BROUGHT OUT THE GOAL POSTS IN A PARK ALL OF A
SUDDEN! That sure is beyond me. Ahem. Anyway, after the tutorial about the
Shot Blocking, the match finally gets underway. The team here is pretty weak,
and if you've been playing all those soccer battles, you won't be having even
a piece of problem. Butterfly formation works quite well against them. Put
Axel and Jude in the attack and send Willy off anywhere where you can afford
one man less. Don't put Kevin in the attack. Use Axel's Fire Tornado from a
distance to score a goal. Beware of Tori though; she's got The Tower, which is
quite a bit of a defensive move. Fortunately, she can only do it once, owing to
her low TP. After the first half, you've to put Kevin, Nathan and Jack on the
bench. Do so and replace them with some other players if you've scouted them
out already. If you haven't scouted out any players at all, you'll play without
three players, therefore making your job harder. If you go with method 1, then
play normally and you'll win. If you go with method 2, then it's up to you to
decide whether you play more offensively or defensively. Once you decide,
concentrate your players accordingly, i.e., place more players in the back if
you go for defense and place more players in the midfield if you go with
offence. After the cutscene, you'll unlock the Extra Competition Route and
Recruiting System. Check out the respective sections of the guide for more
details.

of level, but also in the department of special moves. Their goalkeeper,
however is a trifle more powerful than the rest, due to his goalkeeping move,
which may stop some of your shots. Thankfully, he only does that seldom, so
you can win without worrying much. Also, at the start of the second half, the
opponents will automatically gain a point. Anyway, after the scene, head back

Cloister Divinity is considered one of the best teams of Japan; so much that
they could've won the Soccer Frontier if they wanted to. I wonder though, is it
really possible? This team has practically no defense moves for them, nope, not
at all. Only two of the defenders have special moves for defense, which means
you don't have to worry much on the terms of getting the ball away from you.
Their goalie has quite a move, but he can't use it much, owing it to his low
TP. Just win this match and after the ensuing scene, you gain Megaton Head move
manual and access to the Move Swapping feature. Now you can swap moves between
two players who have learnt them via a move manual. This means that you can't
swap the moves which they learn by leveling up.

at the left side of the steps of the stairs. Now go to the alley just above
G-Mart and talk to the guy blocking it. After the revelations, get back to the
alley and take the Afterimage move manual from the lower left corner of the

Opponent's Level: 19
Their weaknesses: No defense moves for the forwards.
Recommended Team Level: 24

Royal Academy Redux is a team with a balanced form. Most of the members have
special moves for everything, except forwards of course. They also don't really
hold out on the special moves, so get your act ready. Also, after 10 minutes of
the match has past, the opponent will get a score automatically and after 20
minutes of 1st half and 10 minutes of 2nd half, David Samford will shoot at the
goal, even if you have the ball. So, if you are trying to score, then do it
before this happens. The best thing to do here is to use the formation Midfield
Block, this will help you get through those annoying little defenders. Also,
go maximum offensive, you may want to get at least one goal before the first
half ends. In the 2nd half, Kevin will be tired out, so he won't be useful to
the team. Put him on in the back and swap him with another forward. After this,
save and progress on to the next chapter.

Task: Complete one of the training courses!
Chests: 0

Yep, that's right. Now we have the Flash Training Facility for this game as
well. Just like the aforementioned facility, this area has 6 courses, each
focusing on raising a specific ability of the team. It is kinda like the
special Training Spots, but with the effect on the whole team, rather than on
only one player. Oh, yeah, the goddess joins your team as well. Pah.

Now, as for the training facility. When you check the spot on the upper right
corner of the facility, a menu pops up with a list of the available courses;
which are six. These are:
1. Attack Course     |Raises Kick and Body
2. defense Course    |Raises Guard
3. Speed Course      |Raises Speed
4. Technique Course  |Raises Body and Control
5. Strength Course   |Raises Guts and Stamina
6. Special Course    |Raises FP and TP

You can choose any of the course here. On choosing, you are send to a maze like
area where you have rooms with locked doors. Each room has either a robot,
which challenges you to a soccer battle, or a chest. In order to proceed to the
next room, you have to either defeat the team or open the chest. Your final
destination is a big room with a soccer pitch. There you have to play a match
with a team composed of a composite of the players from the teams you have
beaten previously in the story. Defeat this team in order to complete a course
and raise that particular stat for all of the 16 players of your team (not the
ones who are in the reserve).

In order to survive this area, here are a few tips:

1. Try to use TP conserving moves if possible. But don't hold back if the foe
is powerful.

2. You can swap in players in between the training. Use this to your advantage
and swap tired players with fresh ones.

3. Use TP and FP refilling items when necessary.

4. Before playing the final match, make sure all of your team players are fit
to play. Use whatever you see fit to whip them back into form.

5. You can't get any info on the final team you're fighting, so keep your guard
up.

After you complete any of the course, go out and talk to Silvia to get your
next objective. Head out to the pancakes shop! Errr, that was kinda stupid,
wasn't it? Anyway, do as I said.

Opponent's Level: 26
Their Weaknesses: No defense moves up front.
Recommended Team Level: 30

In the first half, Epsilon will not lose any TP or FP even if they use their
special moves. So try to get the ball from the players who don't have a
dribbling move or try to intercept their passes. Shawn and Sue are your best
bets on goal scoring, so try to get the ball to them. After the second half
starts, Epsilon becomes a normal team, who loses TP and FP on using specials.
So, hit them hard. Plus, don't use long shots, three of the defenders have
moves which will block your shots, rendering them useless. After some scenes,
this chapter ends.

After the chit chat, go at the right of the pitch and take the Dragon Cannon
move manual behind the stands. Now go left and follow the wooden ramp till you
reach a chest which contains Defense Plus manual. If you go back to the lower
part of the area, and then go right, you'll find Saggy, who'll join your team
if you answer his question with a yes. He won't be always there, however. Now
go left and take the Fine Veggies from the chest in front of the big cliff. Now
go back and talk to Hurley to start the match.

Whoa, dudes, this match is weird. The first half will be completed in the
cutscenes. You have to play the second half only, with a score of 1 each. Win
the match by at least scoring a goal and then playing defensively. There is
nothing more that I can give you.

After the ensuing scene, head to city. After this scene, head back to the bus
and talk to Silvia. After this scene, head to Mary Times and talk to anyone

talk to Hurley for another scene. Now go to Mary Times and talk to the coach.
Then, get back to city and enter the lighthouse, which now has been unlocked.

Hmm, and I thought Epsilon alone was tough. Oh well. This team is quite strong
on the balance scale, so you just have to muscle through them. The good thing
is though, that the goalkeeper is not as powerful as Dvalin was, so scoring
will be a tad easier. ...Or so I thought. After a little while however, I
realised that this match is also partly fixed, so you at least can't score goal
on them. Try to take shots with Shawn, which will lead him to the bench. After
that, Dvalin will come charging in with his Gungnir (what's that anyway). After
the scene, Axel will join your team. Put him into the team and starting line
up. After you start the second half, a scene ensues, after which you get the
ball automatically. Pass the ball up to Axel and take the shot with him. After
the shot, pass the time with the method you find suitable to win the match.
Also, since Axel is the star of the show, he'll get past everyone without using
any special moves. Use this to your advantage to push the ball right towards
the goal. After the victory, a couple of cutscenes will ensue, after which the
chapter will end.

Their Weaknesses: Erm, (gulp).
Recommended Team Level: 44

Well, what can I say? GO ALL OUT AGAINST THEM. DON'T HOLD BACK ANYTHING. Okay,
actually, they are some weaknesses of them. First, they usually start off
attacking by passing to Artemis, who usually uses Heaven's Time to get past
you. So try to tire him out ASAP. Also, Aphrodite tends to save up his TP for
attacking, so use this to your advantage as well to take the ball away from
him. And the last thing, Poseidon. He's tough, but can be tired out easily.
Don't hold back on him after you drain him out though, he's still a tough
cookie to break.
As a funny note, I was trying to drain Poseidon and was using normal shots to
do so. He blocked the first one, but when I came back a little after with Jude,
he missed it. Simply and completely missed it. If you know me, then you may
also be knowing my hatred towards Poseidon. So seeing him do such a thing was
just too darn shocking for me. End of side note.

It doesn't really matter if you win or lose, the story will still continue on,
although you will miss the hefty amount of the experience they give out if you
lose. After the match, talk to Silvia on the Raimon pitch. After the scene, go

Fuji forests. More like Fuji maze. I'm just gonna list the directions for this

5. Go straight up to discover a G-Mart guy and Fine Veggies.
6. Now go back down.
7. Take the right path and keep going right till you get a dead end.
8. Take the Dash Storm move manual from the dead end and go back one area.
9. Take the road leading up.
10. Take the road at the right which leads up and follow the road till you
arrive at a four way intersection.
11. Go to the right for 150 Friendship Points, Wrath Boots and a Kool Kit guy.
12. The left path has a Rejuvenation Point, so heal up if you need.
12. Now take path leading down and voila, you've reached the spot. Don't forget
to take the Super Water and Hyper Bar at the right side of the area.

Phew, that was a lot of work, I tell ya. Anyway, check the logs for a cutscene,

After the cutscene, you'll arrive at the Alius base. Start by taking the Hyper
Bar and Super Water from the upper left and upper right sides of the area. Now
head in through the door. Keep following the corridor, turning right at the
turn. Go to the very end of the corridor to get Fervor Bracelet. Also note the
laser surrounded door, we'll get back to it in a little while. For now, go back
and take the big door at the turn. Take the Level 1 Card Key from the chest in
this room and return back to the laser grid. Use the keycard on the panel on
the left of the door to unlock it. Proceed through the stairs to 1st floor.

Go up and enter the door you see in the front. Take the Bronze Shield Pendant
from the room and then go back. Take the turn to the right and follow the
corridor to the end. Take the 750 Prestige Points from the chest there. Now
head back and take the door at the right side of the wall of that corridor
(look at the map for a small depression in the wall). Follow this path and you
will reach 2nd floor. Take the Double Cyclone from the next room. Now, head
back to the first door on the 1st floor and this time, take the left. Follow
the path until you reach an intersection. Take the path to the right and go
through the door on the far right for Level 2 Card Key. Now take the door on
the left and open the chest there for B-Lance battle formation card. Now, go
left to the end of the corridor. Disable the laser and continue on to the 2nd
floor.

Dual Smash in Firestorm
Go up and at the intersection, go right. Keep following the path till you end
up in a room with Clone Block move manual and a robot who sells edibles. Now
head back to the intersection and this time, go up and take the first turn to
the right. Enter the room at the end for Super Water. Now go back and continue
up. Go left if you want to recharge your team up. After doing so, check the
door in the middle of the intersection for a scene. After that, the door is
unlocked. Head in for another scene. After the scene, talk to any one of the
robots to start the match with robots (robots, I should've caught the drift).

Yeah, this can only happen in Japan, a team of robots. Pah. Put Jude, Shawn and
Darren in your party if you haven't already, then start the match. The guards
really don't have much for guarding, their entire left defense flank is devoid
of any defense moves, which makes the attack easier. However, due to the fact
that they are robots, they obviously have data on every player. This means that
none of your moves are gonna work on the goalkeeper. Fortunately, Jude learns a
new move at the start of this match. Use it to score a sure goal. After this,
you can use any shot to score goal. After the first half, Shawn too, will learn
a new move. Get the ball to him and take a shot for a sure goal. After that,
just play till you win. Also, Darren will be forced a goalkeeper for this
match, so keep your defense up, just in case.

Take the first left and continue along the path. At the dead end, take the
Hyper Bar and then, head back to the intersection. This time, take the right.
After the first turn to the left, look for a door at the left wall. Go in and
take the Exotic Bracelet/Hyper Bar from there. Now go back and continue up.
Take the first left you see and continue to the end of the corridor. Open the
door there and take the Level 4 Card Key from there. Now head back outside and
take the door just ahead. Go up and then turn right at the intersection. Keep
going and enter the next room to get Keeper Plus move manual. Now head back to

There is a Rejuvenation Point in this area, so use it if you need so. Now, head

Apart from Xene and Bellatrix, the other players are not very much of a threat.
But since, this is the last match, you'll be getting plenty of story driven
areas. Start by taking a shot with Shawn, which triggers a scene. After that,
give the ball to Mark and take a shot with him. You'll get a sure goal. Do this
before the first half ends though, otherwise you'll have to start over. After
that, wait till the 2nd half starts, which triggers a scene. After the scene,
all of the Genesis will regain their full TP and FP. If you saved a little bit
of TP of your key players, then you'll be in quite a bit of luck, otherwise
you are done for. Play the second half as you please, but use Mugen The Hand if
anyone gets a shot at the goal, you won't be able to save the goal otherwise.

Finally, I've reached the end, now I can finally finish what I started. Phewie.
Erm, ahem. Each member of this team has a skill complementing their own
strengths, Nathan's speed, for instance. They also have quite a bit of fancy,
powerful moves which you have to look out for. The best thing to do is to use
your best moves against them to overpower them. Beware of Nathan, he has got
quite a powerful shooting move, which he won't hesitate in using. You may
consider switching goalkeepers if one runs out. As for shots, usage of Mega
Moves is highly recommended. Also, beware of their Fired Up, as the goalkeeper
tend to stop much more of your shots than he normally can, although for some
funny reason, he can't do so when he's not Fired Up. Use this to your advantage
and score ASAP.

After you win, you'll be treated with a cutscene, after which it'll be the

After you beat the story part of the game, you get the following things as
bonus:

1. You can now play new matches by talking to the coach of Mary Times.
2. You can replay the final match against the Dark Emperors to get an extended
ending and a new Competition route by talking to the coach of Alpine Jr. High.
To do so, head back to Raimon and beat the ??? team to play them once more.
3. You can now challenge the last team of Alius Academy, based on the version
you're playing, at the Fuji Forest, after beating Dark Emperors for the second
time.
4. You can now scout out many of the players which were previously unavailable,
including the manager girls (again depending on the version you're playing),
Dark Emperors and Prominence/Diamond Dust.
5. You can now buy some of the best move manuals from Mr Veteran at Raimon.
5. You've also unlocked all of the Video Gallery, plus the Soundtrack Gallery,
which you can view/listen at your pleasure at the save selection screen.

So, what're we waiting for, let's go get'em.

Yeah, yeah, my naming skills stink (I'm becoming more and more like Caleb day
by day). After you beat the Dark Emperors second time, you'll get a chance to
face the last of the Alius Academy team based on the version of the game you're
playing. For Firestorm players, it'll be Prominence; for Blizzard players, it
will be Diamond Dust and for those lucky ones who have both, well, they'll play
both the teams, if they want it to. Anyway, this is how you'll unlock both the
teams' challenge.

Go to the Shopping area and then to the secret warehouse, which can be reached
by making a beeline (not exactly beeline) to the right. Go to the extreme right
of the area and talk to the boy there (yeah, yeah, cats are nothing but big fat
liars, especially the talking ones). After that, go back to...

There you'll meet up with Torch/Gazelle, captain of Prominence/Diamond Dust
(still can't believe Gazelle's a guy, he's got too much of a girly look).
Talk to him and he'll blow up the rock, revealing a new area, where the final
team of the Alius Academy will be waiting for you. Enter the newly discovered
area.

Upon entering, you'll see that this area is also a maze. Typical.
1. Head up and then take the path to the right. Follow it and take the Lucky!
manual from there.
2. Head back and take the left path.
3. Now take the path leading to up.
4. Now go up and take the path to the left and take the Triple Dash move manual
and Fine Veggies from the chests there.
5. Now go back and take the path to the right.
6. Again take the path to the right.
7. Keep following the path till you see a turn to the left. Take it and grab
the 2800 Prestige Points there.
8. Now head back and head up and then take the path to the left.
9. Take the Flashy Bracelet from there and then go back to the previous area.
10. Take the path to the right.
11. Keep going right till you hit a dead end. Take the Gold Power Pendent and
500 Friendship Points from there.
12. Now go back and take the path down. Keep heading to the right till you
reach a four way intersection. Take the path to the right and take the
Hurricane Arrows/Bamboo Pattern move manual from there.
13. Now take the left path. Head straight up the path and keep going up till
you reach the soccer pitch.

Phew, finally. After you reach the soccer pitch, take the Dark Phoenix move
manual (oh yeah), Plain Bracelet (and 2x to oh yeah) and Gold Shield Pendent.
When you're ready, talk to Torch/Gazelle.

Opponent's Level: 48
Their Weaknesses: No defense moves in forward and midfield, weak attack moves
(except of Torch)
Recommended Team Level: 51

First off, this team is mostly composed of Fire type players, so a team of
earth element will be quite advantageous (although it's quite hard to find a
good earth element striker). Their dribbling skills are quite good, with that
Flame Veil of theirs. Same goes for their defense move Ignite steal. But this
is where their strengths ends. Their offence is a tad too weak, with the
exception of their captain, Torch. Also, only two of their defenders know moves
to stop long shots, so you can esily take long shots after you drain their
goalkeeper. Talking about their goalkeeper, he has only got Burnout as his
move. This move, although is strong, but is not strong enough to block those
Mega Moves. Restrain yourself from using the Death Zone 2 at the start however,
as the goalkeeper has an elemental advantage over it.

Opponent's Level: 48
Their Weaknesses: Weak on defense.
Recommended Team Level: 51

This team is mostly composed of wind type players, so a team of wood type will
be quite advantageous. This team focuses more on the attack, therefore they've
quite a bit on their arsenal. You'd better look out for their attacks, they're
really something out of this world (bad joke, I know). But all this focus on
the attack means that they are quite weak on the defense side. Break through
their defense and score. And to make matters more funny, their goalkeeper
didn't used any special moves in the first half during my play through.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 53
Their Weaknesses: No defense or dribbling moves for forwards.
Recommended Team Level: 56

Forest Team is made up of survivors of the forest. This makes their TP and FP
skyrocketing. Fortunately, they don't have that much of those good moves to use
their TP for. Most of the players aren't very special, despite of the fact that
everyone of them have No Element, which nullifies the effects of the elements.
Their goalkeeper, however, is a totally different story. She has Gigant Wall,
one of the most powerful move of this game. Scoring will be quite difficult
with this move against you. Fortunately, this move requires a lot of TP, so
even she can't use it more than 4-5 times. Try your best to score on her early,
she tends to start using that move late in the match.

After the match against Secret Services in chapter 2, you'll unlock the Extra
Competition Route. Through this, you'll be able to play matches against the
teams you've beaten.

Each match has its rating, which is decided by the difference of goals from
which you win. They are as follows:
1 goal difference: B
2 goal difference: B
3 goal difference: A
4 goal difference: A
5 or more goal difference: S
Also, you have to make sure to get no goal on you in order to get the S rank.

If you manage to get S rank in a match, you'll gain twice the total experience
as compared to the other ratings. Plus, if you manage to beat all of the
matches on a route on S rank, you'll gain a special item, along with the reward
you gain for the normal rating.

There is only one person available through which you can play the matches on
this route; Mr Veteran, who's available after chapter 2. He's the guy in the
green jumpsuit, who drives the bus. His route is unlocked after playing the
match against the Secret Services. His route is a special one, as it contains
four routes and first two of them are only unlocked when you find the teams of
that particular route and play a match of one half against them. These teams
are of the previous games and can be found throughout the country. The last two
of the routes are progressively unlocked as you play through the game and beat
those teams one by one. The list of matches he offers are given below, route by
route, along with their prizes at the end of each route.

Wild Jr. High is the second one from the old game. They retain their weakness
from the previous game, to have no moves for defending in the forwards and
midfielders. This makes taking the ball right to the defense easy. As like the

Brainwashing has got no special weaknesses, so you've to rely on better play to

no dribbling moves. Fortunately, Feldt can be dealt with moderate shots like
Heel Kick and Twin Boost, so try to get scoring ASAP, I can't stress it enough.

Otaku's formation is what gave the headaches in the previous game, and the very

Ah, the Royal Academy. The best tactic to defeat them is to use Midfield Block
or Dot Prison formation, and then try to surround the goal with 2-3 strikers
and take shots after shots. Fortunately, their goalie, Joseph has only Power
Shield as his technique, which makes it very simple to score goal against them.

Shuriken's formation is the one which you'd have problems with. So, try to go
through the sides, as once you breach the initial defense, they're wide open
for attack (man, I sure sounded like a military general back there, didn't I).
Anyways, use Butterfly or Midfield Block, and the rest is easy.

Farm is a team which axels in defense. However, they don't have enough strength
to sustain this defense. So, go full force against them, and use your own
special moves. Thankfully, Greeny (the goalie) doesn't have the Infinite Wall,

A balanced team, Kirkwood has its own style of soccer, with acrobatics,
Hurricane Arrows and Triangle Z. However, this means that they have a lot of
pressure on them, which quickly drains out TP. Use this to your advantage, plus
the fact that their midfield isn't something special, allowing easy movements.
Also, his goalkeeper is quite weak, despite having a move like Counter Strike.
So, you shouldn't be having much problem dealing with him if you've got the
right level.

Recommended Team Level: 43

They are a few, but existing weaknesses of them. First, they usually start off
attacking by passing to Artemis, who usually uses Heaven's Time to get past
you. So try to tire him out ASAP. Also, Aphrodite tends to save up his TP for
attacking, so use this to your advantage as well to take the ball away from
him. And the last thing, Poseidon. He's tough, but can be tired out easily.
Don't hold back on him after you drain him out though, he's still a tough
cookie to break.

Zeus, they never change. All of the players here have high stats and some of
the best moves. And their goalkeeper hasn't changed a bit. He was a jerk, he is
a jerk right now, and perhaps he'll continue his jerkiness. All this means a
very tough fight, but don't panic. Try to drain Poseidon ASAP by using normal
or low TP using shots, and then, attack like there's no tomorrow.

Their Weaknesses: No dribbling or defense moves for strikers, a general lack of
moves in the team.
Recommended Team Level: 8

Since this team's pretty weak, I won't be doing a strategy here. Just to let
you know though, the strikers lack any special moves for dribbling or defending
and two of the defenders and one of the midfielders don't even have special
moves whatsoever. Use these facts to your advantage and play the match.

Triple C has also leveled up a bit. Their dribbling skills especially, are the
ones which are going to give you trouble. So, either try to drain out the key
players or use your best defense moves to get the ball away from them. After
that, the rest is the same. Also, the goalie is a tad weak, which makes one
thing less to worry about.

Recommended Team Level: 35

Fauxshore has really improved its defense, which makes scoring quite hard.
Combining this with the fact that almost all of the defenders have moves for
blocking long shots and all of them gather around the penalty area while on
defense, makes scoring difficult still. Best thing to do is to use a one man
attack to break past the defense, and finish off the attack with another
striker. However, make sure to avoid the offside and don't pass when you reach
the penalty area, if there's a defender nearby.

They are your standard team, with the Basic 2 formation, which is easy to break

has low TP (and a really horrible face), so you can easily tire him out.

Opponent's Level: 14
Their Weaknesses: Nothing specific.
Recommended Team Level: 20

You must be thinking that why I've recommended such a high level. The answer
lies within the black hole... the move of their goalkeeper Galileo (didn't knew
that Galileo did something related to black holes). Their single biggest strong
point is their goalkeeper, who can stop almost all of the shots you throw at
him. So, it'd be best if you get Axel in your team before attempting this
match, since he'll be at an enormous advantage against him. As for the other
team members, the offence is mediocre, the midfield is okayish and the defense
above average. However, the pink guy in the defense doesn't get a move, making
him a weak point of the defense (that's why I don't like pink).

Recommended Team Level: 29

Royal Academy Redux isn't a strong team. The last time we faced difficulty
against them was due to the story driven phenomenon acting over. This time,
they are left at the mercy of us. Only three of the players (David Samford,
Caleb Stonewall and Joe King) are the ones you should look out for. The others
are only a waste of space, so just play normally against them. As for the
goalkeeper, he's quite a bit of a drag, but fortunately, he can use his Beast
Fang two times only, after which, he's open for all sorts of attack. The rest
lies on you.

Opponent's Level: 33

Recommended Team Level: 36

Almost all of the players in this team have dribbling moves for them, and that
too of low TP type. This makes stealing the ball difficult from them, unless
you use defense moves of your own. This puts a heavy strain on your defense.
Fortunately, their defense is not as hard to break. Also, their defense is a
little too forward from the penalty area, so you'll get a clean shot once you
get past the defenders. Also, the left flank of the defenders have long shot
blocking moves, so be wary of that.

In putting Dvalin up front, they've actually weakened their defense. Dvalin
only knows goalkeeper and striking moves, so the ball can be taken away from
him quite easily. Aside from that, other players haven't changed, except one,
Mercury, who now knows Asteroid Belt as her defense move. The biggest change is
perhaps their goalkeeper, Zell, who only knows Wormhole, which makes a big fat
hole in Epsilon's defense. So, get your shots in via that hole.

Genesis is back, and they are mighty as ever. The best thing to do here is to
get past the defenders and midfielders without using special moves, and then
use trick passing to get the goal, since Nero's power hasn't increased much
after the last time. Have a lookout for Bellatrix and Ark, they tend to get the
ball away quite often.

second can be unlocked by downloading a key from Nintendo WFC and then going to

Recommended Team Level: 58

Hmmm, I've gotta say, this team is much more better than the previous one. Most
of the players are mediocre to whacko, except only Canon. He has moves like
Legendary Wolf (he's the only person who can do it besides Shawn and Wolfy from
Occult, according to Inazuma Eleven Wiki), so better be at a lookout for him.
Fortunately, his dribbling move isn't that special, so you can take the ball
away from him quite easily. As for the other players, you may only want to look
out for Gold when using long shots, as he has Dark Tornado, which mostly blocks
your shot. The rest, including the goalkeeper is quite easy, so I'm leaving
everything else at your discretion.

Aah, now we're talking. This team is whole lot better than the previous one.
Most of the players here are mediocre, but some of them are quite tough to
overcome. Their main striker is a real killer with moves like Gale Dash and
Fireball Storm. Also, Thor is a solid defender, having Super Sumo Stomp and
Tsunami Boost, which he doesn't hesitate to use. In fact, he was the first
player ever who used a long shot against me. So, put Mark in the goal in order
to gain advantage over Blaze.

P.S.: Syon Blaze is Axel's cousin, who's never been shown in the anime. Also,
it's odd to see him in the Blizzard version, would've been better if he'd be in
Firestorm. But then, the developers might be hinting towards the future; a
future of Mark and N..., whoops, spoiler.

Their main strikers are Zell from Epsilon and Bellatrix from Genesis, and they

First of all, in order to play this match, you have to make a team composed
entirely of wind element players. As for the opponents, they are quite strong,
plus, their main striker and goalkeeper has got the elemental advantage over
you. Thus, your best bet is a strong move. Fortunately, Jude and Shawn are Wind
element players, so you might have a better time attacking (given you had them
for the whole of the story, you did, right?). Also, beware of their captain,
Cardson, who is a solid defender. Try to either drain him out, or use your own
dribbling move to counter him.

Raimon have their Alius power, which means they have the moves which they had

don't have much in the terms of defense, which means... attack! The goalkeeper,
Silvia, is also not very special, so play aggressively.

don't have any particular weaknesses as well. So, the outcome will only be
decided by skill alone. But then, their goalkeeper is Poseidon, who can be
brought down in just two shots. Try to use a wind element player against him
(Shawn with Legendary Wolf preferred) to gain the upper hand on him.

P.S.: They should really kill their fashion advisor. I mean, c'mon, skeleton

Looks like the programmers forgot to 'reprogramme' this team, now didn't they?
This team is very much the same as it was back when we first met it. So, let's
crash'em around like we did the last time.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 71
Their Weaknesses: No defence moves in forwards and midfield, low on long shot
defence moves.
Recommended Team Level: 74

They haven't changed much in the terms of defence and dribbling, but have
ammased some really strong attack moves, like Twin Boost F and Atomic Flare.
So, look out for them when they are on the attack. Also, Torch's Flame Veil is
next to impossible to stop, so be extra cautious against him. You can use the
penalty trick against their goalkeeper, as he has got Fake Bomber as his
defence move, which almost always gets you a penalty.

  //Diamond Dust//

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 71
Their Weaknesses: Nothing in particular.
Recommended Team Level: 74

They're back, and they're badder than ever, especially due to their level. Most
of them have Water Veil as their dribbling move, which is quite hard to stop.
Plus, if it is used by Gazelle, then it's next to impossible to stop. However,
they have their own odd ball weaknesses. For instance, their defenders do not
have dribbling moves, so the ball can be taken away from them quite easily.
Also, funnily enough, their goalkeeper always start his defense with Tornado
Catch, which is easy to break. Use these facts to your advantage to assure your
victory.

Opponent's Level: 40
Their Weaknesses: ROYALSSSS!
Recommended Team Level: 43

Yep, that's right. Since this team is partly composed of the players from the
Royals, it was simply bound to be balanced. OK, maybe balanced word is a bit of
a overkill, but you get my point, don't you? This team is composed of players
from Royals and Cloister, Royals being at the defense and Cloister at the
offence. This however, means that most of the team's attack is quite weak. So,
you only have to break through the defense, which, unfortunately is this team's
strong suit. So, use an offensive formation, like Free March (Kirkwood's
formation) and get scoring.

Their Weaknesses: Weak goalkeeper.
Recommended Team Level: 48

Occult has really leveled up since our last battle, won't you agree?
Fortunately, they didn't had a curse up their sleeve like the last time. This
team is quite balanced; offence is quite strong, defense is also good and the
way they play is also good, but if everything would be good, then what's the
catch? The catch is, their goalkeeper, who hasn't really leveled up in terms
of moves. He still has that old Killer Blade and Warp Space, so scoring against
him will be quite easy.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><>
  //Little Team//
<><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 50
Their Weaknesses: No moves for forwards other than the offensive moves.
Recommended Team Level: Can't really do anything about it. 50, perhaps?

First of all, to play this match, your team must be on or lower that level 50.
So, you may have to take out some of your best players. As for the strategy,
this team is quite weak on the defense, due to the fact that all of the
forwards don't have any moves other than striking moves. So, getting past them
is quite easy. Also, their goalkeeper has moves which are either very weak or
drain him out quickly. Also, they use Wild Plank formation, which is simple to
break if you use Basic formation. Now it's up to you to score goals by any
means necessary.

  //Team Inazuma A//
<><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 52
Their Weaknesses: Erm, ahem.
Recommended Team Level: 56

Don't get me wrong guys, it's just that this team is so odd that I can't really
think of a way to tell their weaknesses. First off, their offence is quite low.
The only one you've to look out for in this area is Saggy. Then, they have a
really crappy midfield, and one of them (Aurelia) only have skills at her
disposition! And lastly, their defense is made up of goalkeepers who happen to
know defense moves. Although, two of the defenders are actually quite good, but
the formation they use, i.e., Infinite Wall, is easy to overcome, so they are
rendered pretty much useless. Oh, I almost forgot, they've got Peabody as their
goalkeeper, which makes scoring easier still. The best thing to do is to use
direct shots at the goal, so that the defenders don't have time to react or
reach the ball.

  //Old Kirkwood//

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 55
Their Weaknesses: Nothing... in particular.
Recommended Team Level: 58

Why do they have to put Old Kirkwood each time, and not only that, they even
copied the whole dialogue too. Tsk. Anyway, Old Kirkwood is not a very special
team when it comes to overall power. Most of the players don't have that much
of special special moves, so your moves can usually overpower them. However,
there are three moves which you should look out for; Triangle Z, Boost Glider
and Counter Strike. These three moves are quite powerful and rarely misses
their mark. Fortunately, these moves take up a lot of TP, so you can rest easy
after you take care of their TP.

  //FF Regional Pick B//
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 50
Their Weaknesses: Weak attack, one useless defender.
Recommended Team Level: 50 (this one's also the same as Little Team).

This team, if I have to say, is quite disorganized. The best attackers are as
midfielders, and the best choice for the goalkeeper is on the defense. Further-
more, the goalkeeper is a total nut job, who uses his most... fleshy part of
body to stop the ball. I wasn't sure that I wanted to play with that ball again
after seeing that. Anyway, the best thing to do is to break from the sidelines,
where Franky (the useless defender) is situated. He won't be able to stop you,
even if you use a weak dribbling move. After that, just hit the goalie hard on
his behinds/nose to break him down.

Opponent's Level: 49
Their Weaknesses: Weak defense.
Recommended Team Level: 53

This team too, is composed of the players which we've only seen on the bench
till now, so apparently, they forgot how to play. They have Super Star 5 as
their formation, which makes their defense quite easy to break. However, this
also means that the chances for you to do offside are highly increased, as
they're no defenders standing near the goal. So try to play solo and use back
passes if need be.

  //Inazuma O8//
<><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 75
Their Weaknesses: No defense moves for forwards, Infinite Wall.
Recommended Team Level: 78

This team is mostly composed of the best players from the Inazuma Town (or
Tokyo or, whatever). Thus, they are quite strong. But, they have their own
weaknesses. First off, the strikers don't have any moves for defending the
ball, so it's easy to get the ball past them. Second and more important, the
goalkeeper uses Infinite Wall, which although almost always stops your shots
(it wasn't able to do so to my Fireball Storm L5 however, :P), it also means
that he will be almost completely drained out in the process. This leaves him
wide open for a barrage of attacks. Any medium to strong attack will get him
good. Also, beware while using long shots, one of the defender (Clover) can
stop most of the long shots.

This team is a composite of the best players of the three teams Ray Dark made.
Therefore, they have very little room for error. Their defense is entirely
composed of players from Zeus, which only means trouble. Their offence, however
is a tad weak due to the presence of players from Royal Academy Redux. However,
you should look out for the Almighty, Aphrodite. Also, forget about long shots,
as every defender has a long shot blocking move (except Dionysus).

This team here is quite balanced (but then, what we else we can expect) on
almost everything, but as always, there's a catch. One of their defenders is
actually a forward from Genesis, therefore making a big hole in their defense.
So try to break through (without using the Breakthrough move) from that point
and you'll be fine. Also, their goalkeeper is Dvalin, so you may want to bring
out your best moves.

The very first thing you should note is that you need a team composed only of
boys in order to play this match. This team, as some of you might have guessed,
is entirely made up of girls/women. Their offence is not that good, so you can
safely ignore it. As for the midfielders and defenders, some of them have good
moves, which you should watch out for. And finally, there's the goalkeeper.
She's got only one move which you should worry about, and that is Table-Turner,
otherwise rest is easy.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 60

Recommended Team Level: 64

This team, yet again is quite balanced. But, their formation, which is focused
more on offence, makes them vulnerable for a quick counterattack. The best
thing to do here is to take the sides and shoot from there. Also, this tactic
is facilitated by the fact that only the defenders in the centre knows the
moves to stop a long shot.

Opponent's Level: 65
Their Weaknesses: Slow starters, no defense moves for long shots.
Recommended Team Level: 68

This team is entirely composed of players from Street Sally's and Secret
Services, which make them a tad too weak. They seem to start their real attack
after a bit of time, which means, at the start they don't use special moves to
counter you. Use this to your advantage for an early attack. Also, their goalie
is quite strong, but she tires out easily, which makes her prone to the long
shots. Combining this with the fact that only one player of their team can stop
long shots makes her easy pickings.

Their Weaknesses: Willy Glass.

Yup, he's back, and he hasn't learnt anything at all, both in terms of manners
and moves. Therefore, he's the single biggest weak link of the whole team. Try
to get him ASAP, although, he doesn't really get the ball. But if he does, just
get it back via a defense move. Anything works. Well, almost anything. As for
the other players, they all have their best moves, so counter with your own.
Also, Soundtown's dribbling moves are a pain in the neck, so be vary of him.
Their goalkeeper is nothing special, so just use your best (and preferably
leveled up) attacks and you'll be fine. As a last note, their attack revolves
round Xene, so mark him. Also, his dribbling move drains him out of his TP once
he uses it, which makes him easy picking later on.

And this, my friends is what they call ridiculous. In order to play this match,
you've to have a team which hasn't got any kind of goalkeeper moves. This means
no Mark, no Darren. Fortunately, there is a trick which you can use. Get Dvalin
in your team (he requires a 40 level team in order to be scouted and he's found
at Mary Times pitch, mind you). Put him in your team, making sure that he's in
his forward alter ego. Then take out all the other goalkeepers of your team.
After that, start the match and when you get the chance, switch Dvalin back to
his goalkeeper alter ego. There. As for their weaknesses and strength, this
team is quite average on most of the terms. Plus, they've got Willy in their
team. So, you know what to do. Also, ironically, their goalkeeper is totally
useless, as he has got only Warp Space as his goalkeeper move. Sucks, eh? Just
go wildly full force and don't get the opponents to strike back, just to be
safe.

If you thought the previous team was ridiculous, then have a look at this. This
team requires a full team of players which don't have a shooting move. I guess
Japan also has this "Atithi Devo Bhawa" (Guest is God) type tradition, which 
now we have to bear. Anyway, the trick is same; use Dvalin and Scott's alter
ego (I wish Aiden were here). As for the opponent's team, they're good, and I
mean really good. They've got some of the best moves for most of their players
and they are good as well. Plus, one of the defenders, two of the midfielders
and two of the forwards have long shot blocking moves, so no Gungnir from the
midline. Fortunately, their defense can be easily gotten past of, and once you
do, Dvalin can take care of the rest. Use Scott after you drain Silvia out, she
tends to block Scott more often than Dvalin, presumably because of his Jynx
skill. Also, Erik tends to hold back on his game, which makes one less to worry
about.

First up, they're not the Alius version, they're the real ones, so they have
totally different moveset. They have changed quite a bit in the terms of
defense, so it'll be harder to get the ball past them. However, except all of
the cool dudes and dudetts, all of the players have pretty average moves. So
you can get past them quite safely. And there is Silvia, their goalkeeper, who
is weak as ever. I guess you know what you have to do.

The players of this team are all from the best teams of the national level, so
there's little room for error in them. Fortunately, Greeny the goalkeeper has
Infinite Wall, which although stops almost anything you throw at it, drains him
out of almost all of his TP. This makes him useless right off the bat. Also,
their attack revolves round Aphrodite, so mark a man on him when he gets near
the goal to avoid getting a shot. The rest is pretty standard, and I'm pretty
sure that you've gotten the hang of it till now.

Apart from their level, they are nothing special. Most of their moves can be
taken down quite easily, and most of them don't have very strong moves. Their
goalkeeper, although is quite strong, thanks to his Big Moves skill, tires out
easily, which makes him easy to defeat.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 35
Their Weaknesses: A useless defender, weak goalkeeper, no dribbling or defense
moves in the forwards.
Recommended Team Level: 38

That was... a little surprising, don't you think? We come in, thinking that
this team is at 50, but instead, we get a 35 level team. Anyway, since your
team should be around 50, beating them should be no problem at all. Plus, they
have a weak goalkeeper, which makes scoring easier still. Just do your stuff
and you'll win, no sweat.

Opponent's Level: 50
Their Weaknesses: Nothing in particular.
Recommended Team Level: 53

Super, eh? Nothing seems super to me. And they don't really look like they've
changed anything (apart from their kit colour). They even had their old style
of playing, with quick passes and relentless dribbling and all. So, just use
the old tactics and you'll win it. Also, apparently, these girls are all
infatuated with Erik Eagle or something, because they didn't tried any special
moves against him. Maybe I'm just imagining things...

Opponent's Level: 65
Their Weaknesses: No defense moves for forwards.
Recommended Team Level: 68

Hmmm, strange. Just kidding. The team here is composed of players with wierd
character models. But, they play quite good. Their main flaw, however is their
goalkeeper (yet again). So, hit him hard, and everything will fall into its
place.

  //Benchers 5//

Recommended Team Level: 69

Well, what can I say, except that they are Benchers. So, just trash'em around,
but be a little cautious, since they are not that much weak. Also, their
goalkeeper is very weak, so attacking her shouldn't be a problem.

Opponent's Level: 55
Their Weaknesses: Nothing in particular.
Recommended Team Level: 58

These guys ain't nothing compared to the National Youth B we faced at the end
of Alpine route. So, assuming that you have beaten them, this team shouldn't be
a problem. But in case you have, then remember the following; sideline attack
is not really gonna work here, use centerings to score, goalkeeper has a new
move, Clone Block, which is not that easy to break. That should be enough.

  //FF Regional Pick A//

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 60
Their Weaknesses: Weak moves for most of the players, weak goalkeeper.
Recommended Team Level: 63

It looks like Sue's mom has something against goalkeepers, so most of the teams
on her route have either weak goalkeeping moves or are weak in general. Here,
the former and latter, both are the cases. Most of the team too, possesses weak
moves, so overcoming them shouldn't be a problem. You should only be aware of
two or three players like Martin (not because of his weird smile yo), Busta
(Reflect Busta, erm) and Hatch (Whirlwind Cut). The rest are nothing special.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  //FF National Pick A//

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 53
Their Weaknesses: Erm...
Recommended Team Level: 50

They again put a cap on your team's maximum level, 50 again. This team is just
too good, and unless you have some hard hitting attack moves at your disposal,
you're in for a really tough match. First up, their goalkeeper is Poseidon,
which alone can be a gigant pain in the neck. And then, there are those
defenders, who can really get the ball away from you. And finally, those pesky
Farm guys, who do nothing but Whirlwind Cut and Mole Fake. So, what's the
solution? Pray. And try to get best players and level them up accordingly.
Trust me guys, this is one of the hardest match you're gonna play, so give it
everything you've got.

  //National Youth B//
<><><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 70
Their Weaknesses: Bad choices for forwards.
Recommended Team Level: 73

This team's strong suit is their defense, which, at the penalty area, consists
of Hurley and Jack. This makes taking shots at the goal quite hard, as they
come out to block your shots. Therefore, try to avoid them, use the shot scope
to make sure of this. As for the other players, they're not very special,
especially the forwards. They seem to be a little too weak to be part of the
National Youth League, but then, who listens to me? Also, their goalkeeper is
also not that much special. So, just do what you do.

  <><><><><><><><>
  //New Alpine//
<><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 70
Their Weaknesses: Weak moves of many players.
Recommended Team Level: 73

Although I say weak moves, many of them have Land Of Ice as their defense move
and Aurora Dribble and Deceptor Dribble as their dribble moves. This makes this
match quite hard, but if you've leveled up your team appropriately, then this
match shouldn't be that much of a problem. Their goalkeeper has the good old
Aurora Curtain, which he does not hesitates to use. Also, most of the defenders
(except one or two) don't have dribbling moves, so you can get the ball from
them quite easily.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><>
  //New Cloister//
<><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 75
Their Weaknesses: Nothing in particular (get habitual of this guys already,
this'll be repeated throughout this section).
Recommended Team Level: 78

Despite of their pumped up level, they really haven't changed in terms of their
gameplay. So, do whatever you did the last time and you'll be alright. But,
look out for the goalie, he's got Clone Block, which is quite powerful.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><><>
  //New Fauxshore//
<><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 77
Their Weaknesses: Weak defense, weak goalkeeper.
Recommended Team Level: 80

Fauxshore was hard to beat before because of its tight defense. But this time,
that very same defense is very weak. Most of the players don't have that good
moves for defending and the long shot defense moves are not that much strong
(except The Wall). Combining this with the fact that Darren (goalkeeper) hasn't
learnt anything after God Hand, produces only one best strategy; long shots.
Use a strong one to get an almost assured goal. Even if you're not a fan of
this feature, then you shouldn't be having much problems against the weak
defense which they have. As for the offence, they're quite average when it
comes to taking shot, but they are quite strong while dribbling. So, use your
defense moves to counter them.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><><>
  //New Mary Times//
<><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 81
Their Weaknesses: No defense moves for forwards, presence of a pure dribbler in
the midfield.
Recommended Team Level: 84

Most of the strength of Mary Times comes from four main players, Hurley, Dora,
Soundtown and Rocky. Beat these players and the rest is easy. Best thing to do
is to break from the center, where neither of these players reside. As for the
goalscoring, use wind element moves to counter his Table Turner.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><><><>
  //New Royal Redux//
<><><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 85
Their Weaknesses: Weak moves in general, weak moves for defending against long
shots.
Recommended Team Level: 88

Word of advice; get ready to feel the pain, for Royal Redux does nothing but
Breakthrough and Breakthrough 2. Their stats have boosted up as well, making it
somewhat more difficult to break past their Breakthrough barrage. Fortunately,
this nets you a whole lot of fouls, use them wisely. The best thing to do is to
put a player who knows a long shot move (I used Hurley) at the left side of the
formation and take a shot with him, all the while being at that left side. This
gives you a high chance of getting the goal, especially when the goalkeeper is
drained out. As for the goalkeeper, his Beast Fang, apparently, does not have
real fangs, until it evolves, so it's rather easy to break. Use your own
evolved moves to take him down.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><><><>
  //New Gemini Storm//
<><><><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 87
Their Weaknesses: No drastic change in the defense and dribbling section.
Recommended Team Level: 89

Oh brother, do they ever stop. Gemini is back, and they have increased their
attack strength by like, a gazillion. They now have some of the best striking
moves offered by the alien moveset, including Space Penguins and Gungnir. Their
goalkeeper too, has learnt Drill Smasher, along with his nasty Black Hole.
However, they haven't evolved in terms of defense and dribbling at all. So,
getting the ball away from them shouldn't be a problem, provided that you have
the right level.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><>
  //New Epsilon//
<><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 90
Their Weaknesses: Weak left flank of defense, no dribbling or defense moves for
Zell.
Recommended Team Level: 92

First off, this time, they've put Dvalin in the goal, so goal scoring is going
to be quite difficult. Their dribbling skills are quite strong and you may not
be able to stop them much often (if you are playing with an under level team,
like me). But, they have got quite a lot of holes. First, their left defense
flank is not as strong as the right one, so try to break in from there. Second,
one of the defenders, Tytan, does not have any dribbling move, so getting the
ball from him should be an easy task. Lastly, Zell only knows striking and
goalkeeping moves, so he shouldn't be a problem as well in terms of getting the
ball past and away from him. Also, for some reason, they tend to really attack
a little later in the game. So, hit them hard with a quick attack in the start
to gain the upper hand.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

  <><><><><><><><><>
  //New Genesis//
<><><><><><><><><>

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Opponent's Level: 92
Their Weaknesses: Wittz, a little foolish goalkeeper.
Recommended Team Level: 94

Hmm, what can I say. This is Genesis, now complete with all of its moves and
an enormous amount of level. Their most strong players are Bellatrix, Xene,
Kiwil and Ark. But, they do have their own weaknesses. Xene and Kiwil use
Southern Cross, which drains out their TP after one use for Kiwil and two uses
for Xene. Also, Wittz seems to have only learnt shooting moves, which makes him
easy pickings for stealing the ball. Their goalkeeper too, is an odd ball guy.
When his turn to defend comes, he uses his best moves (Procyon Net or Temporal
Wall), but after second try, he starts using Warp Space, which makes scoring on
this little guy insanely easy. Overall, this team seemed to be easier than
Epsilon, since I was able to get a S rank victory from them at the second match
only, but it was not the case against Epsilon (heck, I was only able to score a
measly one point to barely escape defeat). Also, just like the previous team,
this team too tends to start their real attack a little later, making them open
for an early attack.

 /____/=================================================================\____\

By the end of the first match against the Secret Services, you'll unlock the
Scouting and Recruiting Systems. Both of them are available through the video-
phone in the bus. These two systems are crucial in finding new players for your
team. Here is a rundown on both of the systems:

|=================|
 |Scouting System|
|=================|

Unlocked at the start of chapter 2, scouting system allows you to get players
which you have played against during those pesky little random encounters. It
works via two methods; first by searching the playing on the basis of various
criteria. By this option, you can search for the players which you desire for
a specific purpose. For instance, you can search for a goalkeeper, or a strong
goalkeeper, or a strong wind element goalkeeper, or a strong wind element
goalkeeper from Nara. The ability section shows four options; clever (high
stats in Control), fast (high stats in speed), strong (high stats in Kick,
Guard, Speed and/or Stamina) and dexterous (high stats in Body and/or Control).
The second option is directly searching via name. All you have to do is to
enter the name of the desired player and it will be shown in the list, along
with anyone else who has the same name as the one you searched for, provided
that a player of that name exists, you have met him in a random encounter and
he/she is not scoutable only via Connection Map/Recruiting/Premium Competition
route prizes. To do so, however, you'll be spending what they call Friendship
Points. These points are the equivalents of currency which are earned by
playing matches and battles and sometimes in the chests. The amount of
Friendship Points require vary from player to player and increases with the
increasing ability of the player. That means, the better the player, the more
the price. Also, unlike the previous game, the search gets completed instantly,
so you can search for your desired player quickly, rather than to wait for a
long time.

After you search out for the desired player, Hillman will tell you the location
of that player. This info will be accurate to vague to next to impossible to
find, based on the power of the player you've scouted out. After you go and
talk to the said player, you usually have to play a soccer battle against them
to convince him to join the team. The win conditions vary based on the player.
You can also call Hillman from the Menu-> Info-> Status to check back on the
location of the scouted player.

|===================|
 |Recruiting System|
|===================|

Similar to the scouting system, recruiting system is the thing you'll be
needing if you're looking for the players from other teams. By this option, you
can search for the players from the team against which you've already played.
When you select this option, a list of available teams will be shown to you,
which can be scrolled by L/R buttons. After you choose the team which you want
the player from, the list of available players will be presented to you. If
the player which you were looking for is not in the list, then you can search
again till you get the required player. Also, you can cancel the search anytime
and search for another player. This too, requires Friendship Points. Just like
the scouting system, you can check for the searched player via the Status sub
menu. Just like scouting, you have to play a soccer battle and win in order to
get that player in the team.

You can also cancel the previous search and scout/recruit another player.
However, you'll lose the points which you've spent on that player for good.

|================|
 |Connection Map|
|================|

Sort of an odd ball way to scout out players, the connection map is based on
the theory of six degrees of separation, i.e., the one you know knows someone
else who can play soccer and that person in turn, knows a person who knows a
person who knows about a person who can tell about a person who can play really
good soccer and that person, blardy blardy blar blar blar blar.

Erm, ahem (cough, cough). I think you get my point now. Anyhow, connection map
is another way to scout (scout, mark my words, not recruit) players. Unlocked
midway during the second chapter, it works as follows:

When you open up the connection map screen, there will be chains which runs
through a 3*3 grid. Each individual chain has point at which it divides into
more chains. Each chain consists of players functioning as the links of the
chain. To unlock the next link, you first have to get the player before that
link. At each corner of the grid (excluding the one at the upper left) is the
ending link of the chain, which has the best player. Your main aim should be to
get that player. However, there's a catch; in order to progress through the
chain, you may sometimes have to unlock it, that is, you have to meet a certain
condition in order to progress further. That condition may be either to
complete a certain story task or to befriend a specific player. Please do note
that some of the best players are at the lower right part of the grid and are
the hardest to get.

As usual, you have to spend Friendship Points in order to get that player in
your team. To scout out a player, just select the player and select yes when
asked to do so. His location will be told immediately to you and you just have
to go get him, usually after beating him in a soccer battle.

 /____/=================================================================\____\

Okay, so you now know what scouting and recruiting is all about. Now you must
be aiming for some of the best players from all around the teams. But some of
these players are very hard to get. This part of the guide is intended on
helping you find those hard-to-find players. So, here we go.

|============|
 |Erik Eagle|
|============|

This player can be scouted out by two ways. During chapter 1, you're asked to
get 3 players. Erik will be at the station, along with Bobby. Just talk to him
twice to get him in the team. You can also get him afterwards via Hillman's
scouting system. But since he's useful in one of the story events, might as
well pick him up as early as possible. Plus, he's an all rounder player with
nice stats and moves.

|===========|
 |Aphrodite|
|===========|

Search him via Hillman and then go to Tower area in Tokyo. You can find him at
the upper right corner of the area, although you may have to do the enter-and-
exit drill for quite a bit of time to get him. Defeat his team two times by
taking a three goal lead to get him in the team.

|======|
 |Xene|
|======|

Search him via Hillman and then go to Fauxshore Jr. High. Enter and exit like,
a million times to make him appear at the lower left part of the area. Talk to
him and then win three consecutive matches against him by taking a 3-goal lead.

|=========|
 |Gazelle|
|=========|

After scouting him, go to Fuji forest and cross the bridge. Take the second
left and keep following it till you reach the area which has two roads going
up. Take the left one and talk to Gazelle there. You've to beat him first in a
get-the-possession type match, then in a score-the-first-goal type match.

|=======|
 |Torch|
|=======|



|===============|
 |Thor Stawberg|
|===============|

After you download a key from Nintendo WFC, go to the lighthouse in Okinawa and
open the door where Axel used to live. Talk to Thor there to get him in the
team.

|==============|
 |Silvia Woods|
|==============|

After you win the match with Raimon Subs A at the Mary Times Premium Route, go
to Mark's house and talk to her in Mark's room (oho) to get her in the team.

|==============|
 |Nelly Raimon|
|==============|

After you beat Raimon Subs A at the Mary Times Premium Route, go to the Tower
and climb it. Talk to Nelly there to get her in the team.

|=============|
 |Celia Hills|
|=============|

After you win the Alpine's upper route with a S rank, you can scout her via
Hillman's scouting system. Just search for her name and then go talk to her at
the river bank pitch in Tokyo to get her in the team.

|===============|
 |Timmy Sanders|
|===============|

After winning the match against Raimon Subs A at the Mary Times Premium Route,
go to Cloister Divinity in Kyoto and talk to Timmy at the soccer pitch to get
him in the team.

|==============|
 |Tod Ironside|
|==============|

After you win the match with Raimon Subs A at the Mary Times Premium Route, go
to Naniwa Land at Osaka and talk to Tod near the roller coaster to get him in
the team.

|=================|
 |Kevin Dragonfly|
|=================|

After you win the match with Raimon Subs A at the Mary Times Premium Route, go
to river bank pitch at Tokyo and talk to Kevin at the lower left corner to get
him in the team.

|==============|
 |Nathan Swift|
|==============|

After you win the Mary Times upper route with a S rank, you can scout him via
Hillamn. After you scout him, go to river bank and in the first area, go to the
lower part, where the pier is. Talk to Nathan to get him in the team. The same
goes for each of the competition route unlockable characters. Search them, talk
to them and get them.

|==================|
 |Hidetoshi Nakata|
|==================|

He's a secret character and one of the best in the whole game. To get him, you
have to go through a ton of things before you really get to see hm. So, here
are the steps required to get Nakata in your team:

1. Talk to the kid in the G-Mart located at Nara.
2. Talk to the kid at the bottom right area of Hokkaido city, first area.
3. After that, go to Inazuma Station (after unlocking it) and talk to Nakata.
Enter and exit till he shows up at the station (upper center).
4. Now, go to Kyoto's G-Mart and talk to the boy there.
5. After that, go to Osaka and talk to the boy who shows up in front of the
truck at the right side of the area. Again, do the enter and exit drill till he
shows up.
6. Now, go back to the Inazuma Station and talk to the girl, who is standing at
the place where Nakata was earlier.
7. After that, go to the Tower area to finally face him in a match. You have to
do the enter and exit drill again till he shows up near the training spot. He's
quite hard to get, so it may take a lot of tries to get his appearance (around
50 in the worst case scenario). Also, in order to actually face him, you have
to be above Master rank in terms of team level (which in numerical terms means
above 60) and must have above 80 friends with you. If you don't have any one of
them, then he'll just walk off.

After all that work (which extends to the endgame), you'll finally be able to
face him. In order to finally get him, you have to beat his team first in a
gain-the-possession type match, then win by scoring the first goal and finally
get a three-goal lead. I recommend a team of about 75 level, so that even
Nakata's shots can be blocked (forget recommended, GET together a team of 75,
this is absolutely essential). Although this is a lot of work, it's worth the
time, as he's one of the best players (as mentioned earlier)and his attack move
Neo Galaxy is almost unblockable.

As a side note, Hidetoshi Nakata is the name of a real player, who played for
Japan national team and was the second player from Japan to obtain a place in
a top Italian soccer league (Serie A). The player in this game is inspired by
him, and is later shown to be Italian team's captain in the anime and game.

This section tries to answer some of the, well most frequently asked questions.
Please, and I do repeat, please read this section before asking anything.
PLEASE (although I've only got three mails total for all of my guides, still
I'm showing off, how pathetic I am).

Q1. I think you should have done (insert anything) like this.
A. Almost everything in this world of ours has multiple ways to be done, and
this game is no exception. So, if you feel you've found out an alternate way to
do anything related to this game, feel free to drop me a mail. If your strategy
is good, it'll definitely be included in the guide.

Q2. You've done a mistake (insert the section/part).
A. Fortunately enough, I'm also a human, so I'm also prone to mistakes. So, if
you find a mistake in my guide, be it game related or fact related, mail me and
I'll rectify the mistake ASAP.

Q3. Your guide's not good.
A. You can't appeal everyone in this world (I'm now going a little overboard on
this philosophy lesson, aren't I). Therefore, if you don't like my guide, go
find other guide. And if you want me to correct my mistake, then tell it and I
will see what I can do.

Q4. Where can I download this game?
A. Don't ask me. Ask your best friend, Google.

Q5. How can I recruit (insert player's name)?
A. Check the 'Final Whistle' section.

Q6. I can't get past (insert team's name). Help!
A. Remember the wise words said by Mark; "With enough practice, anyone can
become strong". I hope you have caught on.

Q7. Why do you write in such a weird fashion?
A. Sorry, can't change it, this is the only style I know. So, you just have to
bear with me on this one.

So, finally, we're here. It's time we wrap this up and say our goodbyes. In
this section, I'll express my thanks to everyone who's helped me in one way or
another to finish this guide. So, here goes:

All of the people reading this guide: It is you who make writing this guide
worth it. So thanks a heckuva lot.

My father: Because of him, I'm able to write guides and play games. Thanks pops
for restraining yourself from scolding me when I was spending my time on this
game and guide. Thanks for everything.

My brother: He's the one who usually keeps me in check when I go insane. He
also suggests some nerve cracking strategies to me. So, thanks bro.

Saurabh, my friend and neighbor: He was the one who pulled (and continues to
pull) me into soccer, which ultimately lead me to this game and guide. Thanks a
lot man.

nat31790: For his guide for the Blizzard version. I took some reference from it
during the creation of this guide. Thank you very much for your guide.

Wata_kun and his site: Without him, I wouldn't have been recruited many of the
players for my team. And the amount of work he has put into collecting all that
data sure is heart pounding. Hats off to you man. Do visit his site for number
and recruiting related stuff of Inazuma Eleven.

http://watashiwa7.altervista.org/ie/index.html

GameFAQs message board: For initial information on some of the recruitable
players.

Level 5: For making such an excellent RPG soccer title.

Nintendo Europe: For translating this game (although not up to the mark).

Cartoon Network: For showing the anime version of this game, which kind of was
the final nail to the coffin of my soccer love.

All of the singers, musicians and lyricists whose songs and music I have: For
they were the only companions of mine during those long, tiring hours of typing
everything here.

I, me and myself: For writing this.

Well, it looks like this is it for this guide. Thanks a lot again everyone, who
is reading this guide. We'll meet again, perhaps for the guide of Sekai e no
Chousen. Till then, have a good day (and night for that matter), stay healthy
and keep your DS intact. Sayonara... mata ne.
