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 ([email protected])
	  - 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.

		- Also adjusts to appropriate number of days in Feb. if year is set
	
======== 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

======== Motion Editor ========

Across the top of the motion editor screen are three buttons:

	Set Name opens

Please have patience. The logic editor is somewhat overwhelming for someone who 
knows only a smattering of kanji...

Enter Logic Editor get 4 buttons across top:

	Load, Save, Editor, Test

Editor:

Notes:

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