1. Introduction

=============================================================================

This guide has been written to guide the player through Gundam Seed smoothly,
with full understanding of the gameplay mechanics, controls and techniques.
This guide also lists the information for the various gundams.

Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed is in Japanese, so many of us may not understand the
manual, and might not understand some of the gameplay mechanics and features.
This guide has been written and compiled to guide you through the many 
mechanics and features of the game.

Gundam Seed is a very fun and exciting game, and one of the factors that makes
it interesting is the combo-ing! Each individual Gundam has its own list of 
combos and special attacks. You might want to try them out in the game or while
fighting it out in versus mode!

Information on each individual Gundams is also provided, to ease your hunger 
for information on the various Gundams. I hope the information will serve you
well and let you be more informed about the Gundams you use in the game!

(Note: The information of the Gundams are provided with permission by the 
website "Alternate Universe Gundam".

IMPORTANT NOTE: The descriptions of the various mobile suits are more
consistent with the anime rather than the game, and they might contain major
plot SPOILERS.

The majority of the combos for the Gundams are taken from the combo and move
list from the manual. They are compiled here for easy reference. Combos for
Freedom, Justice, Astray Red and Blue Frame in this guide are discovered
by me.)

=============================================================================

3. Gameplay FAQ

=============================================================================

*****************************************************************************
3.1 Controls:
*****************************************************************************

- Directional Pad/Analog Stick:

This steers and controls your gundam.

- Cross Button: Thrusters

The cross button activates your gundam's thrusters, enabling it to jump very 
high and far in a very short time. More than just a jump button, you could 
press a certain directional key and hitting the cross button to jump in a 
diagonal direction. Using the thruster to move diagonally and to manuever 
around is your best choice of defence - avoiding attacks. Holding the cross
button in mid-thruster will hover your gundam.

- Square Button: Shot

The square button fires your gundam's ranged attack. A common mistake is to 
tap the square button for rapid fire. DO NOT TAP THE SQUARE BUTTON FOR RAPID
FIRE! It will have very slow cooldown intervals, as your gundam will constantly
go between the rest position and shooting position(gun down or gun raised). 
Therefore, the correct way to fire the rifle is to HOLD DOWN the button, where
there will be a very smooth flow of ranged attack.

- Triangle Button: Attack

The triangle button is your gundam's melee attack. Hitting the triangle button
will cause your gundam to use its knife, beam sword or whatever melee weapon it
has. After the first hit from your triangle button, you might want to time and 
throw in some combos, by hitting a directional button and triangle at the same
time. Possible combos are listed below in the Gundam Information and Movelists
section.

- Circle Button: Defend

Holding down the circle button puts your gundam into defend mode, where it will
raise its arm/shield/etc to defend itself. Defending attacks is good, however,
your gundam's energy drops everytime you successfully defend against an attack.
Different gundams have different shield power. Some can defend against attacks
without losing much life, whilist some lose more life than others.

- L1 and R1 Buttons: Target

L1 and R1 buttons shuffle between different targets. Your targetting reticle
will highlight the previous or next enemy when you hit L1 and R1.

- Tap a direction twice: Thruster Dash

Tapping forward or backwards twice will make your gundam do a thruster dash in
that direction, to avoid enemy attacks or to charge into battle.


*****************************************************************************
3.2 Gameplay
*****************************************************************************

- Game types:

There are 2 different types of stages in the game. That is "Front to Back"
stages and the "Side to Side" stages.

Front to Back stages are fully 3 ones. Your enemies will appear on the further
side into the screen, and you will have to shoot most of them down. Those
enemies who come close to your gundam can be engaged in melee combat. 

Side to Side stages involve your gundam running from one side of the screen to
another. These are the majority of the stages. You just have to keep running 
forward. Enemies will appear in front, behind you, and in the background. 
Enemies who go to or stay in the background can be engaged in ranged combat. 
Enemies who are in the foreground can be engaged in both ranged and melee 
combat. Sometimes, you will have special objectives.

- Targetting:
When an enemy comes within your range, your targetting reticle will highlight
over the target enemy. Targetting is automatic, and if you wish to switch 
targets, hit the L1 or R1 buttons to shuffle between previous and next enemies.
When your targetting reticle is highlighted over the enemy, all your ranged 
attacks will be targetted towards and will accurately hit the target enemy. 
However, if the enemy gundam is moving or maneuvering, hitting it would be much
harder. 

- Incoming!:
It is easy to tell when your enemy is going to shoot you most of the time. If
haven't already noticed, your enemy's targetting reticles will appear before
they fire. Avoid standing in the way of these reticles! The best way to avoid
them is to hit a diagonal position and the cross button at the same time. This
maneuvers you out of harm's way. If its too late to use your thrusters, then
hit the circle button to block.


*****************************************************************************
3.3 Phase Shift Armor
*****************************************************************************

Phase Shift Armor is the armor of the main mobile suits, excluding Astray
Red and Blue Frame. Unlike the anime, Phase Shift armor in the game does not
have a time limit. However, it does have a damage limit. If you'd look
Underneath your energy(life) bar, you would see notches of blue. And with 
Striker systems and additional OS levels, you will see additional notches of
green and yellow. These notches represents your Phase Shift Armor's current
condition. When all the notches are depleted in your Phase Shift Armor, your 
energy/life will start going down when you're hit. Also, When you are using 
Strike and have a Striker System equipped, the Striker System will be 
deactivated and you will have to make do with no special equipment.


*****************************************************************************
3.4 OS and Seed Mode
*****************************************************************************

On the top right hand corner of the screen, you would notice your SP(points) 
collecting beside the word "OS". "OS" is your gundam's operating system. When
you have collected enough points, your OS levels up, and you will enter a brief
period of "Seed Mode". 

- OS Level Up

When your operating system levels up, your gundam will gain a notch of 
phase shift armor. Your gundam's life and phase shift armor is also regenerated
to a certain extent.

- Seed Mode

You'll know that you're in seed mode when you see a red aura surrounding your
gundam. In seed mode, your attacks grow much stronger, plus the biggest bonus,
a score(SP) x 10 for each enemy destroyed. So, it would be wise to keep 
attacking when you're in seed mode, to score as much points as possible. Also,
you're invulnerable when in seed mode. So you should not fear being hit.
The period of time when seed mode lasts is very short, and therefore you should
use it to its fullest extent.

- OS Levels and Requirements
_________________
|Lv   SP Needed |
|_______________|
|1 -> 30000     |
|_______________| 
|2 -> 80000     |
|_______________| 
|3 -> 100000    |

|8 -> 200000    |
|_______________|
|9 -> 200000    |
|_______________|
|10-> 200000    |
|_______________|

(Note: According to Thomas TRAN, there are no special bonuses for maxing out
the OS level.)

*****************************************************************************
3.5 Special Moves and Combo System
*****************************************************************************

Different gundams have both different and similar special moves and combos.

- Special Moves

Each gundam has a fixed set of special moves. That is the quarter circle
forward and square or triangle buttons. There is also a powerful special attack
that will bail you out of any situation and do some major damage, but it can
only be used at the cost of your energy/life.

- Combo System

The combo system is very tricky. What makes it tricky, is the timing. Each 
command has to be hit at a certain timing to connect and continue the combo.
You might want to just hold down the direction and hit the button when the time
comes. It takes some skill and practice, but you'll get the hang of it soon 
enough.


*****************************************************************************
3.6 Gameplay Modes
*****************************************************************************

There are 3 gameplay modes in Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed.

- Phase Mode

This is the story mode. This is the only mode available to you at the start of
the game. In this mode, the story of Gundam Seed is unfolded as you undertake
missions. There are 10 stages in total.

- Attack Mode

The stage select mode. You can compete for higher scores for each individual
stage. The later stages could also prove challenging as you don't have OS
levels and Seed Mode in this game mode.

- Versus Mode

The versus mode. This mode allows you to use the other main gundams. You can
pit your mech piloting skills against the computer or a friend. Be warned
though, this mode is quite unbalanced. Swift melee gundams will have the upper
hand.

4.A STRIKE
*****************************************************************************
Pilot: Kira Yamato
      
Allegiance: O.M.N.I. Enforcer

Unit Type: Mobile Suit 

Model: GAT-X105 

Height: 17.72 m 

Weight: 64.8 tons

Armor: Phase Shift Armor 

Armaments:
Igelstellung 75mm Anti-Air CIWS x 2
Armor Schneider Combat Knife x 2
57mm High-Energy Beam Rifle x 1

Move List:

Melee Combo: QCF + Tr
Multishot(Rifle): QCF + Sq
Spinning Kick: Tr + Ci

Combo List:
Combo 1: Tr -> F + Tr -> F + Tr
Combo 2: Tr -> F + Tr -> B + Tr
Combo 3: Tr -> F + Tr -> U + Tr
Combo 4: Tr -> F + Tr -> F + Tr -> U + Tr
Combo 5: Tr -> F + Tr -> U + Tr -> F + Tr

Built by the Federal Union of the Atlantic on the neutral space colony 
Heliopolis, the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam is the final prototype mobile suit 
produced by Admiral Halberton's Gundam project. When a group of ZAFT soldiers 
launches a sneak attack on the colony to capture the five Gundams, Strike is 
the only one they fail to take. Initially flying into battle in the 
inexperienced hands of Murrue Ramius, Strike is therafter piloted by civilian 
Coordinator Kira Yamato, a citizen of Heliopolis.

Each of the other four Gundams is built with a specific function in mind. 
Strike, however, is perhaps the most versatile of the group, because it is 
designed to operate in a variety of different environments. It achieves this 
versatility through the use of specialized mission packs. Using the Aile pack,
Strike can fly under its own power within the atmosphere or achieve greater 
mobility in space. The Sword pack provides a large anti-ship sword that also 
proves devastatingly effective against enemy mobile suits. And with the 
Launcher pack, Strike takes control of a powerful cannon that with a single 
shot can blow a hole in the side of a space colony.

Beyond the mission packs, Strike is a fairly basic design. Like the other 
four Gundams that were built alongside it, it is protected by the 
nigh-indestructible Phase Shift armor and powered by a battery. With the 
exception of the Launcher cannon, its weapons are not terribly powerful. When
unequipped with a backpack, Strike's only weapons are its anti-air 
Igelstellung vulcans and Armor Schneider combat knives.

Sword Striker comes equipped with the Midas Messer beam boomerang and the 
Panzer Eisen rocket anchor, mounted on the left arm. The anchor can be 
launched at opposing mobile suits as a projectile weapon. The centerpiece of 
the Sword pack, however, is the Schwert Gewehr anti-ship sword. With a beam 
running the length of its blade, the sword is capable of cutting through any 
foe's armor, as some unfortunate mobile suit pilots learn first-hand.

The Launcher Striker comes equipped with a combo weapons pod mounted on the 
right shoulder. The weapons pod contains a 120 mm anti-ship Vulcan gun and a 
set of 350 mm gun launchers. The primary weapon of the Launcher mode, however,
is its 320 mm Agni super-high impulse cannon. This devastating weapon can tear
a hole in the side of a space colony or take out several mobile suits in one 
shot. Even Phase Shift armor proves no match for the power of the Agni.


*****************************************************************************
4.E DUEL
*****************************************************************************
Pilot: Yzak Jule 

Allegiance: ZAFT 

Unit Type: Mobile Suit 

Model: GAT-X102 

Height: 17.50 m 

Weight: 69.1 tons 

Armor: Phase Shift Armor 

Armaments:
Igelstellung 75mm Multi-barrel CIWS x 2
Beam Saber x 2
57mm High Energy Beam Rifle x 1
175mm Grenade Launcher
Anti-Beam Coated Shield x 1

Move List:
Vulcan: QCF + Sq
Shield Combo: QCF + Tr
Spinning Sword Slash: Tr + Ci

Combo List: 
Combo 1: Tr -> F + Tr -> F + Tr
Combo 2: Tr -> F + Tr -> U + Tr

The first unit of the Federal Union of the Atlantic's Gundam project, the 
GAT-X102 Duel Gundam is the most basic of the five mobile suits. Captured by 
Yzak Jule during the Heliopolis raid, it would remain his personal mobile suit
through the end of the war between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, undergoing 
countless repairs and a few modifications along the way.

Although it is not designed for a specific role like Buster and Blitz, and it 
cannot be physically altered through transformation like Aegis or mission packs
like Strike, Duel Gundam is notable as the machine on which the frames of the 
other Gundams, except for the transformable Aegis, were based. In addition, 
Duel features something that Buster and Blitz lack -- versatility. It is not a
weakness that it features no special gimmicks like the Mirage Colloid particles
or that it does not have a special role like long-range support fire. Unlike 
its two sister units, Duel is equipped to take part in battle anywhere, under 
any circumstances, much like the highly adaptable Strike, and to a lesser 
degree, Aegis.

Being such a basic unit, Duel features fairly basic weapons. Mounted on its 
head is a pair of 75mm Igelstellung vulcans. Behind its shoulders, it carries 
a pair of beam sabers. It is also equipped with a 57mm high-energy beam rifle,
which, unlike that used by Strike Gundam, comes with a 175mm grenade launcher 
mounted on the bottom. Duel is powered by a battery and protected by 
impenetrable Phase Shift armor.

Duel Gundam remains in the possession of Yzak Jule throughout the remainder of
the war. Taking serious damage in several battles, it is repaired time and 
again and manages to escape the final confrontation between the Earth Alliance,
ZAFT, and the Clyne faction relatively intact, which is more than can be said 
for many of its companions.
