01) VERSION CONTENTS
- Welcome.  I'm proud to do this FAQ again for another Gundam game in the Battle
  Assault series.  I wrote a FAQ in early 2004 for Gundam Battle Assault 2 and
  now I'm back doing a FAQ for Battle Assault 3.  And, believe me, it's a lot of
  work.  So just sit back and read.  Hope this FAQ will help you through the
  game!

Version 1.0 - New FAQ.  If anything changes, you'll find it here.

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

02) INTRODUCTION
In the year Cosmic Era 70, war has broken out between the Earth Alliance and its
offworld PLANT (Productive Location Alley on Nexus Technology) colonies.  This
is not a war that will be decided by armies and armadas.  Instead, the battle is
in the hands of small groups of warriors, piloting powerful suits of mechanized
armor: Gundam.  On one side of the conflict, Kira Yamato defends Earth in his
Strike Gundam; on the other, Athrun Zala, who was once Kira's closest friend,
uses the stolen Aegis Gundam to fight for the forces of PLANT.

Battle Assault 3: Featuring Gundam SEED takes you into the heart of war and puts
you in control of a suit of Gundam armor.  Live the hit anime series "Gundam
SEED" as one of its main characters and defeat all who stand before you!

POWER SYSTEM GAUGE

  can also use it for Ability and Dual Hyper Attack if you have two mobile

VERSION UPGRADES
- This is a new element in the series.  Press SELECT and you will see a code
  temporarily in place of your energy gauge.  Follow the inputs and your MS will
  be upgraded.  Here's how it runs down:
  Ver.1 - Short-Range upgrade

  Ver.3 - Power System Gauge (to prevent from overheat quickly)
  Ver.4-9 - Repairs your BA/PSA.

  display as your number of wins.

PLAYER DISPLAY
- Gauges will be displayed on the left side (1 on top; 1 on bottom) and another
  set will be the same on the right side.  On Tag Team Mode, your MS partner's

  Version Upgrade # display; your partner's gauge will appear when switched.

08) HINTS & STRATEGY
MISSION
- I suggest finishing the game first.  After beating the game, you can go back,
  repeat and go to other Missions that you haven't gone yet.  There are some
  secret Missions waiting to unlock.  If you land on a Time Attack Mission
  (that's the green point), beat the enemy or enemies within the assigned time
  (see Missions) above; if it reaches the orange mark, it will not take you
  there even if you beat it.  If you beat the Time Attack Mission, Murrue or
  Andrew will tell you that a new course is opened; I suggest going there first
  (you can always come back for other Missions later).  If you completed a
  Phase, a red Haro marker will appear on Mission menu to know that you've been
  completed it.

- If you are defeated, the Archangel/Eternal will receive damage.  The game's
  over if they take 100% damage.  However, if you survive through the Phase, the
  Archangel/Eternal will repair to full power and move on to the next Phase or
  Chapter.  Here's another helpful hint: Somewhere on Mission Mode takes you to
  a practice fight against three M1 Astrays with the Strike and another takes
  you against Mu La Flaga on the Aile Strike with Freedom.  Good news is that
  your ship will not be damaged if you're defeated.

- Some Missions require you to beat the enemies within the Time Limit.
  Unfortunately, you CAN'T move on even if you have more energy gauge than the
  enemy when the time's up.  You MUST defeat the enemy (or enemies) before
  time's up!  I know, it kinda sucks just thinking about it, but it's only for
  this Mode only.

- You can perform the Dual Hyper Attack when you are with another mobile suit on
  later Missions.  I advise not to use this if you're on Time Attack or Time
  Limit Missions.

SURVIVAL
- After each battle, your mobile suit will repair the Armor Gauge and receive a
  Skill Shield if it were used.  However, your Upgrade Level will go DOWN a
  Level, so keep that in mind.

OTHER STRATEGIES
- Try to be a little patient.  True, most Missions carry 2-on-1 battles, but try
  not to rush things; odds are, indeed, against you.  Otherwise, they get to you
  and take you out quickly!

- You can perform combos when fighting the enemy.  Try combining your own combos
  using attacks.  There are a lot of combinations you can use to your advantage.
  Experiment and make your own combos and take out your enemy!

- Skill Shields can be used other than Ultimate Attacks.  You can use Abilities
  (MS varies on Ability) and Dual Hyper Attack (for two MS), however, they also
  cost you one Skill Shield.  So plan it strategically and carefully.

- There are 3 Types of gauges in the game (See Battle Screen).  Type 1 is the
  normal Battle Armor.  Type 2 has 50% for both Battle Armor and the Phase-Shift
  Armor.  Type 3 is the Phase-Shift Armor.  Phase-Shift Armors are nearly
  unaffected against regular Vulcan and laser fire.

- If you get thrown, you can recover by using jump or quick recover.  You will
  lose minimal Battle Armor if you're thrown to the ground.  Note for Freedom,
  Justice and Providence Gundams: if you get thrown to the ground, you will be
  temporarily stunned, giving the enemy a chance to attack, so be careful!

- Use Real-Time Programming Upgrade by pressing SELECT during battle (everyone
  has one); press SELECT again to deactivate.  It will fail if you get hit by
  the enemy or press the wrong button.  Follow the input and press them
  carefully and as fast as you can.  This will be very helpful when operating or
  piloting your MS (See Battle Screen for Version Upgrades).
