PLAYER MATCH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Player Match allows you to compete against other players and watch online matches. There are three main options: Quick Match, Custom Match, and Create Match. >QUICK MATCH When you select Quick Match, the game will find the optimal game session based on connection speed and give you the option to join it. It simply connects you to which ever lobby it finds to be the fastest. You are able to see who is in the session and what its settings are before you decide to actually join the session. You cannot filter the search by game mode, etc. >CUSTOM MATCH Custom Match lets you search for a game session that meets the conditions you select. -"Search Session" performs the search using the guidelines you have selected. The returned results will show the Session Name and flag, the number of player out of the total possible number of players in the session, the Game Mode, the connection speed (Red=Poor, Yellow= Mediocre, Green=Excellent), and the Status (Either the players are "Playing" or in the "Lobby"). You can refresh these results by pressing the X Button, or create your own session by pressing the Y Button. Selecting a session will bring you to a screen with more detailed information, including the names and grades of everyone in the match. From there you can decide to "Join" or go "Back". -"Avatar" does not impact the search, this is where you select which of your avatars you want to use when you join a game. -"Game Mode" lets you select the kind of online battle you are looking for, and the "Any" option can be chosen to include lobbies of any game mode in your results. -"Battle Type" lets you search for either Single or Tag Battle matches, and the "Any" option will all lobbies of either battle type to appear in your results. -"Grade" allows you to alter your search to only include lobbies that contain players between a certain grade range. Holding the X Button and moving left or right will change the minimum grade allowed, while holding the Y Button and moving left or right will change the maximum grade allowed. Your current letter grade is highlighted in yellow and must be contained within the range. -"Language" lets you choose if you want to filter rooms to ones that only speak English or leave them open to any language. >CREATE MATCH Create Match lets you create a game session as a host. -"Create Session" creates a game session with the conditions you have chosen. You are then sent to the game's lobby. Pressing the X Button will also create the game session, and the Y Button will revert the settings back to their default. -"Avatar" lets you select which avatar you want to use for this session. -"Lobby" lets you select which lobby you want to use for your session. -"Receptionist" allows you chose the appearance of your lobby's receptionist. Every lobby has its own default receptionist, but you choose to make it look like any of the avatars you currently possess. -"TV" allows you to change the lobby's TV. Every lobby has its own Small Size TV by default. -"Session Name" allows you to name the session you are about to create. You can enter the name using a controller and the on screen keyboard or by plugging in a USB keyboard. The special symbols listed in the "Text Chat" section of this guide can also be entered. -"Game Mode" is where you select the session's game mode. This option can be changed later using the Receptionist. -"Battle Type" is where to select to have the session be either Single or Tag Battle. This option can be changed later using the Receptionist. -"Life Gauge" is where you set the size of the life gauge for the combatants. This option can be changed later using the Receptionist. -"Match Point" is where you set the number of rounds needed to win a match. This option can be changed later using the Receptionist. -"Round Time" sets the time limit for a single round. This option can be changed later using the Receptionist. -"Max Players" lets you set the maximum amount of players allowed in a session. -"Friend Slot" lets you set the number of slots you want to keep reserved for players that are on your friends list. -"Grade" lets you limit your lobby to players whose grade falls within a specific range. Holding the X Button and moving left or right will change the minimum grade allowed, while holding the Y Button and moving left or right will change the maximum grade allowed. Your current letter grade is highlighted in yellow and must be contained within the range. -"Language" allows you to signal other players that you either don't care what languages are spoken in the session or that you want it to be English only. -"Flag" lets you choose what nation's flag you want to appear next to the session name when it appears in people's search results. >TYPES OF ONLINE BATTLES - Winner-Stays (2-16 Players) Two players fight at a time. The winning player becomes the champion and stays on for the next fight. This mode also supports Tag Battle. - Tournament (2-16 Players) Fight in a tournament. The winning player is awarded bonus points based on the number of opponents they have defeated. This mode also supports Tag Battle. - Team Battle (2-16 Players) Players split into two teams (Red and Blue) and fight a team battle. The game is won when all the players on one team are defeated. - Survival (3-16 Players) The champion takes on all the players and aims to defeat the most opponents. Collecting items increases health, and the defeat of each enemy also restores some health. - Loser-Stays (2-16 Players) In this mode the loser stays on for the next fight. This mode also supports Tag Battle. - Kumite (2-16 Players) Regardless of whether they win or lose the fight, the champion stays to fight the next opponent. This mode also supports Tag Battle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. ZACK'S SHOP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zack's Shop is an online-only store that sells avatars, accessories, lobbies, and costumes for you fighters. This items are purchased using Zack Bucks (Z), which are awarded for winning matches. The inventory of Zack's store randomly changes every night at midnight, but if you've been saving up for a specific item and don't see it, there is a trick. Zack's Shop relies on your XBOX 360's clock to tell it to change the inventory, so from the dashboard you can to the "System" menu, then "Console Settings", "Clock", and finally "Time Zone". By changing the time zone to either a day ahead or behind your current setting, it will trick Zack's Shop into changing the inventory. For a complete list of the inventory and prices at Zack's shop, refer to section II. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. CUSTOMIZE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using this menu, you can customize your avatars using the items you purchased from Zack's Shop. First, using left and right, find the avatar you wish to customize and select it using the A Button. The top three options on the right side of the screen are available to all avatars. The first selects the "skin". For avatars classified as "human" (Man,Woman,Boy,Girl) you can select from 8 different skin tones. For all other avatars you much choose from the different skins specifically made for that avatar that can be purchased from Zack's Shop. The second option lets you selects from items that can be worn on the avatar's head. The third options selects from items that are worn on the face. The human avatars have three additional options available. The first of these changes the human avatar's hairstyle. The next changes the eyes. The final option selects their outfit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. USER PROFILES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- User Profiles lets you view your online battle record and change your player information. The right side of the screen lists your major stats along with information about your reliability and your comment. >PLAY DATA Selecting Play Data will give you detailed stats organized by character used.

COSTUMES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While all the costumes for the fighting game characters can be unlocked through Story Mode and/or Time Attack Mode, they can also be purchased for 5000 Zack each. Costumes must be purchased in order, so for example, you must have Kasumi's costume 3 before her costume 4 becomes available. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� THE LOBBY SYSTEM _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. CONTROLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >STANDARD CONTROLLER CONTROLS A BUTTON..........................."Select" in menus or what the cursor is over B BUTTON..........................."Back" in menus Y BUTTON...........................No function X BUTTON...........................Brings up onscreen keyboard for text chat RIGHT BUMPER.......................Turns on or moves text chat window LEFT BUMPER........................Turns on or moves text chat window RIGHT TRIGGER......................Rotates camera LEFT TRIGGER.......................Rotates camera LEFT ANALOG STICK..................Moves avatar or selection in menu (Click to hide gamertags and cursor) RIGHT ANALOG STICK.................Initiates emote (total of eight) D-PAD..............................Moves cursor or selection in menu START..............................Opens the recepetionist menu BACK...............................Quits lobby or backs out of menus >ARCADE STICK CONTROLS The controls for the arcade stick are slightly different than that of the standard controller. Since it has only one stick, you must hold down the Y Button and hit a direction with the stick to perform an emote with your avatar. To move the cursor you must hold the B Button and press a direction with the stick. There is no way turn on or off the display of gamertags and the cursor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. TEXT CHAT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't have a microphone or simply don't want to use one, text chat is supported in the lobbies. While this can be performed with the controller by pressing the X Button and entering in the text using the onscreen display, it is far less tedious to simply plug in a USB keyboard. Plus, using a USB keyboard allows you more freedom to customize your text. The Right and Left Bumpers allow you to view the text messages in an instant messanger format rather than as bubbles above the avatar's heads. Balloon and text color can be changed in the Receptionist's menu under "Online Options". >BASIC USB KEYBOARD CONTROLS Enter..............................Send Esc................................Cancel input Space..............................Insert space Left or Right Arrows...............Move cursor Backspace..........................Delete previous character to left of cursor Delete.............................Delete Caps Lock..........................Toggle between upper and lower case F4.................................Change style of speech ballons (4 types) F5.................................Change font size (small or large) Text, number, and punctuation are entered normally >SPECIAL SYMBOLS Alt+Q..............................Heart Alt+W..............................Aries Alt+E..............................Taurus Alt+R..............................Gemini Alt+T..............................Cancer Alt+Y..............................Leo Alt+U..............................Virgo Alt+I..............................Libra Alt+O..............................Scorpio Alt+P..............................Sagittarius Alt+A..............................Capricorn Alt+S..............................Aquarius Alt+D..............................Pisces Alt+F..............................Sun Alt+G..............................Cloud Alt+H..............................Umbrella Alt+J..............................Snowman Alt+K..............................Lightning Bolt Alt+L..............................Meat Alt+Z..............................Cherries Alt+X..............................Apple Alt+C..............................Throwing Star Alt+V..............................Cat Alt+B..............................Dog Alt+N..............................Penguin Alt+M..............................Spider Shift+Alt+Q........................Skull Shift+Alt+W........................Anchor Shift+Alt+E........................Tulip Shift+Alt+R........................Egg Shift+Alt+T........................Bone Shift+Alt+Y........................Alarm Clock Shift+Alt+U........................Picket Fence Shift+Alt+I........................Train Car (1 of 3) Shift+Alt+O........................Train Car (2 of 3) Shift+Alt+P........................Train Car (3 of 3) Shift+Alt+A........................Limousine (1 of 3) Shift+Alt+S........................Limousine (2 of 3) Shift+Alt+D........................Limousine (3 of 3) Shift+Alt+F........................Pencil (1 of 3) Shift+Alt+G........................Pencil (2 of 3) Shift+Alt+H........................Pencil (3 of 3) Shift+Alt+J........................Weiner Dog (1 of 3) Shift+Alt+K........................Weiner Dog (2 of 3) Shift+Alt+L........................Weiner Dog (3 of 3) Shift+Alt+Z........................Fish Bones (1 of 3) Shift+Alt+X........................Fish Bones (2 of 3) Shift+Alt+C........................Fish Bones (3 of 3) Shift+Alt+V........................Katana Sword (1 of 4) Shift+Alt+B........................Katana Sword (2 of 4) Shift+Alt+N........................Katana Sword (3 of 4) Shift+Alt+M........................Katana Sword (4 of 4) >CENSORSHIP Text Chat has filters that censor almost all profanity. You will have to get VERY creative if you want to type naughty messages, because it recognizes all but the most obscure slang. It is also good at recognizing symbols that look like letters, so don't think you can bypass the censorship just buy using dollar signs and zeros. The most interesting part of the censorship, however, is that it also censors some words that aren't naughty at all. For example, the words "Microsoft", "Bill Gates", "Bungie", and "Halo" are all banned. Ironically you can type "Tekken" and "Sony" as much as you want. This censorship also applies to naming sessions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. THE RECEPTIONIST'S MENU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Receptionist's Menu is accessed by pressing the Start Button or by using the cursor. >JOIN MATCH Selecting this enters you into the match. If a fight is in progress, you will leave the lobby and become a spectator until it is your turn. >START GAME If the minimum amount of players have joined the match, the Champion can begin the game using this option. >CHANGE GAME SETTINGS Here the Champion can edit the Session Name, Game Mode, Battle Type, size of the Life Gauge, number of Match Points, the Round Time, and the Flag. >VIEW GAME SETTINGS Allows you to view the session's name along with the current game settings. >GIVE PLAYER CHAMPION TITLE This option appears for the current Champion.

MISCELLANEOUS LOBBY FEATURES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >THE CHAMPION CROWN The Champion Crown is a jeweled crown that floats high above the avatar of the player who is currently in control of the lobby. When you create a lobby it is a good idea to immediately select "Join Match" that way the Champion Crown is given to you. >PARTNERING-UP FOR TAG BATTLE If you are doing a Game Mode that supports Tag Battle, you can partner with another player for 4-player tag matches. To ask a player to be your partner, simply select the player with the cursor or using the "Players" menu, and then press the X Button. If the player accepts, you and your new partner will have matching symbols in front of your names. >STATUS INDICATORS - Green Gamertag: The player has not joined the match. - White Gamertag: The player has joined the match. - Wrench Word Bubble: The player is going through menus. - Keyboard Word Bubble: The player is entering text. - Green Armchair Bubble: The player has gone idle. - Sweating Person Bubble: The player is using the XBOX 360 guide interface. >MOTTO Whatever you have entered as your "Motto" in your Gamer Profile will be displayed on a sign in any lobby you create. It will also appear on signs in the Gambler's Paradise and The D.W.A. Coliseum stages. Your motto can be changed by selecting your Gamer Profile, going to "Edit Gamer Profile", and then "Motto". It can be up to 21 characters long. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� SPECIAL THANKS _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Special thanks to McYammy, Cody Mayhorn, CrazyIvan606, & Stacey Sanders for helping me with the guide to Zack's Shop.
