0.   WANTED

     I'm looking for:

ground vehicles, Mobile Armours, Mobile Suits, war ships, &c.)
     - A complete seiyuu (voice actors) list of this game.
     - Strategies, general or Mobile Suit-specific.

2.   NUTRITION INFORMATION (Introduction)

     Title:    Kidou Senshi Gundam: Renpou VS Zion
               (Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation VS Zion)
     Genre:    Team battle action
     Rating:   -
     OS:       Arcade, Dreamcast (announced)
     Maker:    Bandai, Banpresto, Capcom
     On Sale:  -

     (Warning: As I'm a Gundam fan since First Gundam, I
use the old and possibly political incorrect spelling of
"Zion", instead of the current "Zeon".
     In SD Gundam war games, I always chose one or more
of the Zion forces: Old Zion, Delaz Fleet, Axis, and Neo
Zion. I of course knew the One-Week War in UC 0079.01
wiped out half of the human population on Earth and in
space, before the Federation and the Zion governments
signed the historic South Antarctica Treaty, moderated by
the neutral Side 6 government, on UC 0079.01.31. Sieg Zion!)

3.   COMMANDS

     (Disclaimer II: Correct me if I'm wrong.)

     [?] means hold the stick or button.

3.1  BASIC COMMANDS

     STICK

[u]       Walk forwards.
[ul]      Walk forwards and left.
[ur]      Walk forwards and right.
[l]       Walk left.
[r]       Walk right.
[dl]      Walk backwards and left.
[dr]      Walk backwards and right.
[d]       Walk backwards.
u,u       Dash forwards, to dodge linear attacks from the
          player's left or right.
l,l       Dash left, to dodge linear attacks from the
          player's front or back.
r,r       Dash right, to dodge linear attacks from the
          player's front or back.
d,d       Dash backwards, to dodge linear attacks from the
          player's left or right.

     BUTTONS

T         Choose the target (enemy unit) that the player
          tries to lock-on.
S         Shoot at the target with the player's primary
          weapon, such as beam rifle.
[S]       Shoot a burst of shots at the target with the
          player's primary weapon, such as Zaku machine
          gun.
F         Fight (attack) with the player's melee weapon,
          such as beam sabre.
S+F       Shoot at the target with the player's secondary
          weapon (sub weapon), such as Vulcan.
[J]       Jump. Beware the Boost guage.

3.2  ADVANCED COMMANDS

     (Note: This section is incomplete.)

     GOUF

     After the Gouf launches its heat rod (whip)...
     (stick)+Shoot or (stick)+Fight
     causes the Gouf to whirl its heat rod.

     ZIONG

     As the Ziong launches its (supposedly wire-guided)
forearm...
     (stick)
     defines the forearm's direction of attack.

3.3  HIDDEN COMMANDS

     When the player inputs the pilot's name, instead of
pressing Omakase to choose a Gundam chara's name, when the
player inputs an original name, the game normally doesn't
display the pilot's appearance or quotes. But...

     If the player inputs "Kyasubaru" as the pilot's name:
Char Aznable becomes the pilot. The game displays "Kyasubaru"
as the pilot's name ("Kyasubaru" is Char's real name "Casval"
in katakana), but his appearance and quotes are the same as
the regular Char's (he still wears his helmet and mask).

     If the player inputs "Aruteishia" as the pilot's
name: Sayla Mass similarly becomes the pilot.

     (I don't know if this allows Kyasubaru to pilot a
Federation MS, or Aruteishia to pilot a Zion MS?)

     Reportedly, inputting shortened forms of the name of a
chara already in the game also causes the existing chara to
become the pilot.

     (I should verify the MSs' specs at some Kidou Senshi
Gundam: Renpou VS Zion HPs, because Char's MSs have better
speed, but worse HP and armour, than normal MSs.)
