Hi there. Despite the fact that we call this a FAQ it really isn't one. Consider
it a translation of some (but growing) translations of 3D Fighting School's
menus.
.01a1 - initial version released
.01a2 - incorporated Erik Dimander's Profile translations (dr.dim@home.se)
- added text editor and date editor translations
- corrected table of contents (i think)
- (some) cleanup (2/24/99 7:08 PM PST)

Section 1.0 ================================================== Introductions
Welcome to the 3D Fighting School FAQ. 3D Fighting School (3DFS) is the 5th
"Construction Kit" that ASCII has released on the PlayStation. 3DFS follows "RPG
School", "Dezaemon 3D", "Dezaemon Plus" and "Dezaemon Kids" in that each of
these tools allowed you to create a game of a particular genre. Here's the list
of ASCII construction games for the PlayStation:
RPG School 3 - Make 2D RPGs. Very cool software here!
Dezaemon Plus - Make 2D shooters. Nice but very difficult work
Dezaemon Kids - Make 2D shooters, iconic Dezaemon. No music editor
Dezaemon 3D - Make 3D shooters, also very complex
3D Fighting School - Make a 3D fighting game
Other construction kit games are listed below. Note: this list is currently very
short, help me fill it up :)
Carnage Heart - Build and program mechs to fight
Zeus:Carnage Heart - Update to Carnage Heart
Pandora Project - Build and program mechs
Theme Aquarium - Build and operate an aquarium
Theme Park - Build and run a theme park
Dungeon Creator - Build 3D step/turn dungeons
>Section 1.1 Packaging
3DFS comes in the larger format jewel case that many Japanese video games arrive
in. On the back of the case we can see that the game is for 1 or 2 players and
occupies 1-15 blocks of a standard memory card.
Inside is a thick (78 pages) manual, one PlayStation CD and a registration card.
Nothing out of the ordinary except for that big manual, then again, RPG School
3's manual rang in at 114 pages.

======== Model Select Screen ========
Simple enough, choose which fighter you want to represent your moves. Kind of
cool that you can build a set of moves and then watch all the characters use
them. Unfortunate that you can't model your own characters. I would have hoped
for at least a skin color option but alas, it appears we're stuck with what
ASCII give us. Any secrets to unlock more from this screen would be most
welcome.
======== Motion Screen ========
This screen has four lists. Press Up/Down on the D-Pad when this screen appears
to select a list:
Hitting Moves (DAGEKI) - Yellow
Grapple Moves (TOUGE) - Red
Victory/Defeat Dances (SHOUBOU) - Blue
Base Stances (KIHON) - Green
Each of these has within it's list:
Erase (Blue)
Load (Green)
Save (Red)
Compact (Yellow)
When a move is selected a menu appears:
Editor - opens the
Copy
Paste - (dimmed if nothing has been copied)
When you've made a change in an editor and you back out of it, a menu appears
with 3 choices as follows:
Save
Don't Save
Cancel

See the word AITE (?) (1st two Kanji) at the beginning of almost all the logics
(in the blue list). This means "opponent"

Section 4.0 ============================================================ FAQs
Why are there no Frequently Asked Questions?
Sorry to confuse you. This document hasn't really reached FAQ status yet.
Consider it a translation and other stuff document at this point. Maybe it will
answer some questions. If not, send the questions to mcteagle@oz.net and I'll
see that they get in here in one way or another (see the Credz section)
Section 5.0 ========================================================= Secrets
Where we unveil the power and performance of a full 3D Character modeler in
3DFS! Uh, sorry...please someone, find this feature!
No secrets (at this time)
