Rival Schools 2 (Shiritsu Justice Gakuen Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2) Translation Version 1.25 by Handy Tanudjaja August 2, 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction Well, Capcom has finished the next Rival Schools series. The problem with this game is still : it's japanese. And this is not a FAQ, just a mini translation. You will not find any movelist on this document, as this is only a translation of the menus, and is considered a mini-faq. By the way, did GameSages give this game a poor review? Maybe it's because of the error in the simulation mode. Well anyway, enjoy. :) What's New : 1.25 Fixed something wrong in the omake section, it was 10 cards for 1800, instead of 20. Also, there's a question unanswered... 1.20 Added some little things. Just realized what kiara means... after taking a look at the King of Fighters Kyo back cover, I realize that the words are kiarakutaru (character), so that's where kiara (char) came from, figures. :P 1.10 Fixed several translation and added new things. I never know there were so many fans of this game! Thanks all. :) 1.00 First basic translation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. The menus The main menu consist of several bars. They're, from top to bottom : 1. Simulation Mode This is the simulation mode. And I can't get it to work, it shows a red 'no entry' sign I think (so it _is_ error). The error screen is translated into 'Your Playstation has been modified, operation is stopped' according to YC Tan. There are GameShark code to get through this, however, since I don't have a GameShark, I can't test it. But according to GameSages, www.cmgsccc.com and www.agscc.com here are the codes : D00A6CFA 1040 800A6CFA 1000 The simulation mode is vastly improved and is the heart of the sequel. So .... maybe I'll buy a GameShark afterall..... maybe.

Story Mode / 1 Player Mode The usual beat 'em up game. 3. Two Player Mode This is the versus mode between player 1 and 2, won't show up if the joystick isn't connected. 4. League Mode This one puts you in the league, and competes for the number 1 place in the table. 5. Team Battle Select four person to fight on your side and your opponent's, I think. 6. Tournament Mode This mode allows you to compete in a tournament. 7. Double player Mode This is to start dual player mode in one team. The first option is the battle mode, cooperation based, and has scores when you win or lose the game. The second one is manual select and training for two players. 8. Training Mode Practice how to use the characters. Free play mode. 9. Learning Mode There are two options after this. The first one is [Kanji]'99. This mode tests your skill in two parts : the number one lesson is to hit the opponent without getting hit by the fireballs. The number two lesson is to block your opponent's attack nine times. I was wondering if this can open the Simulation Mode, and it's not. The second option is the usual learning mode, 6 lessons, like it used to be in Rival Schools. 10. Extra Games Plays games like : 1. Home Run 2. Roberto's PK 3. Roberto's Shoot 4. Services 5. Sprint 6. Doki-Waku-Dance (bust-a-groove type dance) 7. Watch Mode 11. Edit Mode Supposed to be creating new characters, but I can't get it to work yet. I've beaten the 1 player mode several times, but there's no change. Maybe I should try the hardest difficulty level, if I'm not lazy. 12. Omake There are two opinions on this menu. One says that this one is for pocket station. The other is this : Everytime you beat the game, make a record, pass a test, finish mini games, you obtain bonus points. That bonus points are used in the first option of the Omake menu to buy cards, endings, posters, secret characters, the music of the game, etc. The second option is to view what you have bought, cards, videos (Staff roll, and ending), posters, music, etc. I think the second one is the right one, but in the intro, there is a little scene about pocketstation, and the picture is also a pocket station, so maybe there's a way to turn it on. (I don't have pocket station, so I don't know) Shopping List : Well, since the things I've bought disappears, I'm not so sure which is what, so buy everything :) that's the point. But I'm _sure_ that the first option is buy 1 card, and the second option is a bargain, 10 cards for 1800, rather than 1 card for 200. Beneath this, you should see 4 supposedly secret characters each for 3000. They're Hinata in volleyball suit, Natsu in uniform, Tiffany, also in uniform, and Kyoko without a skirt. They can be accessed by pressing start on their picture. 13. Memory Card Manager To save and load. Load Save Autosave 14. Options Edit the gameplay environment : CPU Difficulty Damage Level Timer Speed Rounds (CPU) Rounds (VS) CPU Round Change Char Continue Change Char Dual Shock Vibration Sound Game System Defend Fall Burning Vigor Gauge Auto Guard Back Dash Back Jump Default Buttons settings Default Exit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Next.... I'm still playing this game, and Rival Schools 2 rocks! Thanks for all your support! Well, since somebody already did a walkthru for the simulation mode, and I need a GameShark or a blindingly fast connection to download the patch, I think I'll pass on the simulation mode translation to the others. Good luck! Mystery of the Omake section : Something triggers the omake option to show an old lady, instead of the girl that used to sell stuffs. This old lady sells things at cheaper price, and also there are several stuffs you can't normally buy, like the CD player. I still don't know what triggers it, since the next time I tried the Omake Option again, everything returns to normal. I remembered, though, that the last thing I did before that old lady shows up was playing in the Extra Games, gaining about 5000 points or so. Anyone knows this ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
