Titolo: Super Robot Wars 4th : THE FAQ

Dato il grande successo ottenuto da questo gioco, vi posto la faq di
SUPER ROBOT WARS IV per SNES.
Scusate se non e' formattato correttamente.
	The 4th Super Robot Wars Scramble Mini-FAQ Version 2.0
Here's the explanation or translation of most of the command in the
game, as 
requested by someone. I didn't write a complete FAQ because 1) I need
time 
2) I am not Japanese, so I need to know all the names and stuff. 3)
Nobody 
seems to have this game....
This FAQ should work with the 4SRW for SFC, but the regular
instructions are 
for the PS version, and the SFC version will be in (), so be careful!
(I write the regular instructions for the PS version because that's
the 
version I have! But don't worry, I played and beat the SFC version
too, so 
the instructions will be correct.)
If you feel or know that something is wrong in here, just E-mail me
what's 
wrong and I will fix it. If you have any comment or criticism is
welcomed. 
If you really want a full blown FAQ, just tell me and try to help me
by 
translating some of the robots and pilots name and stuff....

		two if SFC version) spaces for you to save the games
in.

	After you start from beginning, you have a choice of editing
"your" 
character in the game. If you decided to edit, keep in mind that only
the 
birthday and bloodtype counts toward the "magics" that your character
will 
have. Each sign and bloodtype will result in different sets of
"magics" and 
some specific combination of bloodtype and birthday will yield 
special magic." You can edit the name, sex, face, personality, 
birthday/Bloodtype,
and pilot type.

right)
1)  Hot Blooded with a strong sense of Justice
2)  Logical but has and affinity for the opposite sex
3)  A Little Weird
4)  Cool and nihilistic
 
Note: Personalities don't really change much in the game other then
your 
characters dialogue (i.e. the way he or she talks and responds to
other 
characters. But if you don't know how to read Japanese , then it
doesn't 
really matter)
 
Choose Pilot Type:
Robot types determine which Final Robot Your Character will pilot
eventually.
The robot you start with will also be different third weapon and minor
HP, 
EN, etc. differences.

range
weapon. You will start with "Cutting" special ability and gain Newtype
about 
level 20. The robot you start with will have less HP, EN, but will
have a 
long range weapon.
Super Robot Pilot:  will give you a huge transformable Robot with
almost no 
manuverblity but powerful Ki/moral attacks. You will start with
"Cutting" 
and Potential special ability. The robot you start with will have more
HP, 
EN and have a pretty powerful close range weapon.

4) Very brief Character's guide
	This section is designed to help people with no Gundam or
Heavy 
Metal, etc. knowledge to know the different pilots by name. Some
people might
know their name in languages other than Japanese or English, since
shows like
Gundam is shown in Hong Kong and other places, so people their don't
know 
their name in English, so I write this part and now they will be able
to 
tell apart Amuro from Char.
		Gundam Series (Do I need to explain???)
  Amuro Rey		Pilot of Gundam, Nu (Greek letter that look
like a V)
			Gundam
	This guy should need no introduction, since anybody that
watches the 
show Gundam should know him by now. He is one of the quickest pilot to
be 
able to move twice (level 33) and the quickest pilot to get "Spirit".
This 
Newtype is the most balance of them all, but in this game he lack
leadership 
and he is pretty indecisive since he still cannot choose between Chien
and 
Beltorchika.
  Quattro Bajina	Pilot of Type 100 (The gold color MS with the
MAP 
			weapon)
	This blond with the sunglasses is actually Char Aznable, so
every 
Gundam fans should know him. He is pretty slow comparing him to Amuro,
but 
he has the highest long range and skill stats among MS pilots. This
newtype 
has leadership ability, that's why he might leave your team later.
  Camille Vidan	Pilot of Zeta Gundam
	The blue haired main character from Zeta Gundam is back, and
he is 
still as good as ever, although he don't have "Lucky", he stats are
still 
very high and he is able to move twice at level 33. His romance with
the 
Enhanced Human Four will ultimately be decided in this game...
  Judo Ashita	Pilot of Double Zeta Gundam
	The always happy Newtype is back, and his attack power is
still very 
high. He is also able to move twice at level 33. All of his friends
won't be  
back as backup pilots, but Elpe Puru and Puru Two might make an
appearance 
later on in the game...
  SeaBook Arno	Pilot of Gundam F91 (The F is pronounce formula)
	This guy is probably the worst among Newtype Gundam pilots, as
he can
move twice at level 34 and his stats are pretty low, but with the
power of 
F91, he is still one of your best pilots. His girlfriend Cecily
Fairchild 
will make an appearance if you let somebody die...
  Kou Uraki		Pilot of Gundam GP01Fb and GP03 Dendrobium
	This non-Newtype is probably the best among regular MS pilots.
He may
be shy around girls and dislike carrots, he still has a pretty high
skill 
level and have "Spirit" and can move twice at level 41. If he could
just 
have "Concentrate"....
  Anavel Gato	Pilot of Gundam GP02A Physalis and Neue Ziel
	The favorite villian from Gundam 0083 is back and he is as
good as 
ever. The "Nightmare of Solomon" has the second highest skill and long
range 
level among MS pilots. It will be a tough choice between Char and
Gato, but 
with the prospect of getting the Atomic MAP weapon is too much to
resists...
  Christina Mackenzie	Pilot of Gundam NT-1 Alex
	This lovely looking test pilot (at least to Bernie) is back
and she 
is still as useless as she was in the 3rd Super Robot Wars. But with
the 
Gundam and some pretty useful "magic", Chris might not be as useless
as you 
think..
  Bernard Wiseman	Pilot of Zaku
	That's right, this pilot uses a Zaku! This pilot is still
pretty 
useless, but hey, Bernie comes with Chris, which means....
  Roux Rouka
	Roux is Judo's girlfriend, and she will be a backup pilot
depending 
on one of the crossroad. Her stats might be low, but at least she has
"Lucky"
and "Resupply", and afterall, she is still a Newtype...
  Katsu		Pilot of G-Defensor
	Another pretty useless Newtype, but the MA he pilot is
extremely 
useful and he is the only one that can convice Sara to join your team
if you 
are on the Real Robot side....
  Keyla Sue		Pilot of Jegan
	Keyla is back, depending on crossroad, and she is still just
average 
among MS pilots. Well, at least he is better than Hathaway...
  Hathaway Noah	Pilot of Jegan
	Hathaway is back, just like Keyla, but at least he is a
Newtype. Hope
he has gotten over his obession over Quess...
  Four Murasame	Pilot of Psycho Gundam
	The love interest of Camille is back. This Enhance Human don't
have 
very high stat level, but she can move twice at level 35 and can be
use as 
second class pilots...
  Rozamia Badam	Pilot of Psycho Gundam Mark II
	This emotionally unstable Enhance Human is back. She has less
useful 
"magic" as Four, but some of her stats are higher and she does get
your team 
more experience, just hope she don't cause too much trouble for
Camille...
  Elpe Puru and
  Puru Two	Pilot of Quebeley Mark II
	These two asexually produced Enhance Human are back. Although
their 
stats are not very high, but at least the Quebeley Mark II are quite
useful. 
If only Judo can find them...
  Quess Pariah	Pilot of Jagd Doga or Jegan
	This girl is a pretty powerful Newtype, and her MS is very
good. But 
how can we find her? Maybe Amuro can help....
		Heavy Metal Series (The series whose robots has P
weapons, 
				    beam coating and beam weapons)
  Mylard	Pilot of L Gaim, L Gaim Mark II
	The major character of the series has finally make it to the
Super 
Robot Wars series, and he is extremely useful because of his extremely
high 
long range attack, move twice at level 36, and useful robots. Not to 
mention the fact that two girls are always fighting over him. I wonder
where 
his cousin, the girl that Mylard was suppose to marry, is......
		Aura Battler Series (The series whose robots has
after-image 
				     and Aura and Hyper Aura cuts)
  Shou		Pilot of Dunbine
	The major character from the series is back from Super Robot
Wars EX,
and he is still extremely useful since he has a pretty good close
range and 
long range stats, able to move twice at level 36, and some useful
magic. If 
he could only have more SP ......
 
5) All the crossroads and details on some hard-to-get robots and
pilots
	There are quite a few crossroads in this game. Even if you
played the
two paths of your robot, you will still miss a few different stages
and some 
robots and pilots, so this section will detail all the different
crossroads 
and in the process, listing all the robots that you'll get in the
different 
crossroad. In the end of each crossroad, I will add comments on
whether you 
should pick this crossroad over the other one. I am excluding the 
differences in Super robot side and Real robot side because you should
know 
them by now.
  1)  During second stage (or first stage for SFC version)
	If you finish this stage in double digit number of turns (or 8
if SFC
version), you will be sent to a different sequence of stages than if
you 
finish in single digit number of turns. In the single digit number of
turns, 
you will be presented will less enemy to fight, and you will have one 
additional robot to appear on Encyclopedia. You will have Hathaway as 
extra pilot after stage 7. If you finish second stage in double digit
number 
of turns, you will have Keyla instead as extra pilot. You have more 
enemies to fight and Christ and Bernie will join you during stage 7.
Advice:	For this crossroad, you should choose the double digit
crossroad 
		because it yield more experience and more robots, but
it uses
		up more turns.
  2) Before stage 7 or stage 6 (or 6 and 5, respectively for SFC
version)
	Depending on the 1) path, you will choose this path before
different 
stages. Before the stage, someone will ask you whether you have a 
girlfriend/boyfriend (lover?) or not, and if you ask yes, he/she will
start 
as a Titan and you will have to fight a sea monster in stage 8. You
will be 
allowed to edit her name. If you want him/her to join you, you have to
convice him/her to join you in stage 23(or 22 in SFC) if you choose to
go to space while in stage 24 (or 22 in SFC) if you decide to stay on 
earth. If you say no, a co-star of the opposite sex will be choosen
for you 
and will join you as extra pilot after this stage. You will instead be
helping combattler V in stage 8. 
 
Advice:	Take your pick. Depend on whether or not you need the extra 
		pilot right now. The second pick (no girl/boy-friend)
uses up
		more turns.
  3) After stage 10 (or stage 9 in SFC version)
	This crossroad asks you to whether to cross the Japanese ocean
or 
Pacific ocean, with each one causes a different following stage. If
you 
choose the Japanese ocean, you will get Katsu, but there's less items
and 
experience. If you choose Pacific ocean, Roux will join you instead.
Advice:	Japanese ocean all the way because of the usefulness of G-
	Defensor (it can be combined with Gundam Mark II) and the 
	ability to convice Sara to join you in stage 21(20) if in 
	Real Robot side. But the other path yields more items and 
	more experiences and uses up a little less turn (but 
	Dancougar team cannot be used).
  4) After stage 12 ( or stage 11 in SFC version)
	This crossroad asks you whether you want to help one of your
team 
member to find his lover. If you don't go with him, you will fight a
boss 
and in the process decide a crossroad in stage 35 or 36. 
Advice:	Don't go with him. Since going with him uses up some turns and
	that part of the team don't have "Search" so you will be
missing 
	a lot of items, no to mention it also by default pick a worse 
	crossroad for you later on.
  5) During Stage 13 ( or stage 12 in SFC version)
	If you decided not to help find one of your team member's
girlfriend,
you are presented with two choices at this stage. If you manage to
kill the 
boss within 8 turns, you will be in a different stage 35(34) than if
you 
didn't kill the boss.
Advice:	Kill him. By killing him, you will be able to get the I-Field 
	generator at stage 35(34) and more items. But the other path 
	yields a better storyline.
  6) During Stage 14 (or stage 14 in SFC version)
	This crossroad will decide which Aura Battler battleship
you're going
to get in stage 18(17). If Shou don't fight the woman in 3 rounds, she
will 
then join you and you will get the battleship with no MAP weapons and
two 
faries, along with the woman (she does have Aura Senshi skill at level
15). 
If you fight her, you will get a battleship with MAP weapons and two
pilots 
along with two extra robots. 
Advice:	Kill her. The battleship with MAP is more useful and one of
the 
	extra pilot can be used in stage 34(33) (the one which Four is
	in your team) to get an extra pilot and robot that has Rally. 
	She is extremely useful near the end of game because you will 
	have to split up in two teams and she is one of the only four 
	member in one team that has Rally, so take your pick
carefully.
  7) After stage 18 (or stage 17 in SFC version) 
	Before stage 19, you will be asked which way should you go to
invade 
enemy's base. For the first choice, the map is longer, and the second
choice 
is shorter.
Advice:	Second one all the way. The items and amount of enemies are
the 
	same, so why bother go the longer way!
  8) After stage 23 (or stage 22 in SFC version)
	After the stage, Bright will ask you whether you want to go to
space 
or stay on earth. If you go to space, you go along with Amuro, Fa,
Kou, 
Keith, Dancougar team, Jumbo3 team, Raideen team and Heavy Metal
members. 
If you stay on earth, you go with the rest of the team. The following
four 
stages is different depending on which way you pick.
Advice:	Space is a must for Real Robot side because it's the only way 
	to convice Mylard's cousin to join you by letting him attack 
	her. However, on earth you can see the new Geta and your robot
	if you're on Super Robot side transform.
P.S. After stage 30 (or 29 in SFC), if you're on the Super Robot side,
your 
stage number will be increase by one because stage 30(29) has two
parts but 
the game still counts as two stages. Make sure to minus 1 from the
stage 
number from that on so the stage number will be the same as mine.
  9) During Stage 32 and stage 33 (or 31 and 32 in SFC)
	In these two stages, you are presented with a tough choice. If
you 
convice Four to join you, you will have a chance at convicing an
additional 
AB pilot and less enemy to fight later on. If you killed her, you can
get 
the EX-Superior Gundam (if you have Superior Gundam. Note: Remember,
in SFC 
version, you have to have the Guntank and in Real Robot side to get
Superior 
Gundam while in PS version, you only have to be in Real Robot side.)
and a 
chance to convice Rozamia to join you at stage 34 and 38. In stage 38,
you 
have to kill the Alpha Aziel (the hugh MA with funnels) first before
using 
Camille to convice Rozamia to join you. After the stage, the doctor
will ask 
you whether you want her to be one of your backup pilots.
Advice:	If you're in Super Robot side, convice Four because you will 
	need the extra MS pilot and the extra AB pilot. If you're in 
	Real Robot side, you might want the EX-S Gundam and more
enemies 
	to fight.
  10) During Stage 33 (or 32 in SFC)
	Before this stage, Char will ask you whether you want to help
out 
protecting General Brex Forra. Make sure to say yes (the first 
option) because I personally like to make my own decision instead of
letting 
the computer doing it for me. During turn 3, the computer will ask you
whether you want to escape to the right or the left. If you choose
left  
 (the second option), Brex will be killed and Char will leave your
team. 
This will also decide which stage 40 you are going. Without Char,
Cecily and 
her MS will join you, and you have a chance of convicing Gato to join
you if 
he survive until stage end. With Char, if you protect the NPC until
the end, 
you will get a Sazabi instead (Char's MS with funnel).
Advice:	This one is really up to you. I personally like to let Char go
	because GP02A has an Atomic weapon, and using it to finish the
	game is much easier for the PS version. 
Note:	I am not sure if PS version is the same but in order to get
the 
	Atomic weapon in the SFC version, you have to convice Hamaan 
	Khan with Judo later, which can only happens if you're on Real
	Robot side.
  11) During Stage 39 (or 38 in SFC)
	This crossroad is pretty hard to get to. If you're on Super
Robot 
side, just go on to the next because it's not possible to choose
unless you 
are on Real Robot side. About turn 3 or 4, there will be some Heavy
Metal 
enemies appears, and Mylard's cousin is among them. If you use Mylard
to 
atttack her in stage 27(26), use him to convice her in stage 30(29),
and 
use him again to convice her in this stage, she will join you. After
you 
convice her, you can then convice the purple hair guy to join you with
Mylard. By convicing him to join you, you will be going to a different
stage 41(40). With him, you can then convice Puru and Puru Two to join
you 
with Judo.
Advice:	Go with it if you're on Real Robot side. This way is much
faster 
	and easier than without him. Also one of the only ways to get 
	Atomic weapon for GP02A.
  PS) During stage 40 (does not really apply to SFC version)
	During this stage, a girl will attack you and one of your team
member
(the one that can transform) will recognize her and say something must
be 
wrong. If you convice her, then this stage will end after you kill the
three 
bosses, and you will have an extra stage to fight with just him, her,
and 
one other girl. 
	In SFC version, convicing her will add the other two pilots
that 
help you but didn't join you in stage 35.
Note: If you does go to the extra stage, make sure to minus 1 to
follow 
	my stage numbering system.
Advice:	This stage is pretty useless but it does gave them some 
	experiences and you don't have to fight three more battleship 
	and enemies during stage 40 so it would be easier to protect 
	the NPC.
  12) During stage 41 (or 40 in SFC)
	This crossroad lead to another crossroad, but only accessible
in Real
Robot side. If you convice Puru and Puru Two (only need to convice one
of 
them), after the stage is complete, they will ask you whether or not
you 
want to go with them to get a little girl. By going with him, you have
a 
chance of convicing Hamaan with Judo. In that stage, you have to use
Judo 
to convice Hamaan before attacking any of the enemies. After that,
kill as 
many as you want without killing Hamaan. With only four enemy
remaining, 
Hamaan will retreat and you will get the Atomic weapon in stage
44(43). If 
you don't follow Judo and Puru, you will go to the moon and fight the
Heavy 
Metal boss, but it is not very hard. If you don't convice Puru to join
you 
at all or if you're on Super Robot side, you will be sent to the
hardest 
stage 43(42) of the possible 3.
Note:	If you decide to follow Judo, your stage number will increase
by 1, 
	so make sure to minus 1 afterward to follow my stage numbering
	system.
Advice:	Follow them at all cost because it's much easier, not to
mention 
	able to use atomic weapon. But you might not want to follow
them 
	if you just want to cross all crossroads.
  13) After stage 44 (or stage 43 in SFC version)
	If you finish stage 44 with a total of 326 turns(?) or less
(319 for 
SFC version), three new pilots will join you (some of your team member
will 
leave) and you won't be given a choice to fight these guys in stage
45. If 
you finish with more than 326, during stage 45(44), the woman will ask
you 
whether you want to fight them. By saying yes (first option) both
times, you 
will fight them instead of the last boss. This option will result in a
bad 
ending. The stage 45 with less than 326 turns is harder in PS version 
because the enemies are very spread out and you have to kill them all
before 
the last boss will appear on the map. For SFC version, the boss will
always 
be there so it's a piece of cake. 
Advice:	Depending on your mood. In order to make it in less than 326
	turns, it takes practice and lose some items and enemies in
the 
	process, not to mention it was a lot harder. Unless you have 
	GP02A and its atomic weapon and some experience with this
game, 
	I strongly discourage choosing that. Note: By choosing to 
	fight the guy with two girls instead of fighting the last
boss, you 
	will have two more robots appear in the Encyclopedia.
 
6) "Miracle" trick, hidden characters and some hints
 
	Miracle. This is the ultimate "magic". It increase morale by
30, 
100% hit, flash, lucky, spirit(triple damage), speed up and complete
HP 
recover for only 40 MP. Only the AB farie for Shou and your character
can 
have this magic. For the AB farie, she has to reach level 56. For your
character, you have to input a special birthday and bloodtype. Even
"Spirit" 
require special birthday. The easiest to get is 9/2, O, which gives
miracle 
at level 25, but you will have no "magic" before level 25 and when you
do, 
some of your "magic" is pretty useless, but "Miracle" is all that
matters.
note: 	This only applies to PS version. In SFC version, you will have
speed
	up, flash, concentrate, lucky, spirit and Miracle. You get
spirit at 
	around level 20 and miracle at level 24.
	There are two hidden characters (well, if you looked at Deluxe
Character Encyclopedia, you should know them by now) in the game
(maybe more 
in PS, but I didn't heard there's more). One is Quess and other is a
farie 
for AB series. In order to get them, you have to get a certain pilot
on 
certain square of a certain stage.
note:	Since these hidden characters doesn't effect storyline at all,
make 
	sure to get them, especially the AB farie
	AB farie	stage 17, Shou has to be in square 40 down and
2 
		to the right from the upper left hand corner of map.
She will
		present three choices for you after the stage:
		first and second choice yields a replacement for
Dunbine, 
		while the last one is leave Dunbine alone. The first
and 
		second choice AB don't have any long range weapons,
but they 
		have pretty high mobility, HP, EN and 10% HP recovery.
The 
		first one is a little more agile while the other has
higher 
		armor and HP.
	advice:	Take the first one. Since it has higher mobility, you
can let
		the weaker pilots use it and still manage to get to
255.
	Quess:		Stage 30, Amuro has to be in square 6 down and
8 to 
		the right from the upper left hand corner of the map.
She 
		will give you two choices after the stage:
		First one is Dera Joga(?) (The MS with funnel) and the
second
		one is just Jeagon (GM). The choice is pretty obvious.
	note: 	This stage is only accessible if you follow the real
robot 
		side.
 
 
	Some hints:
	1) If you lost a stage without saving at all, you will have to
be 
back at that stage again, but all the experience and money will be
intact,
but the hidden items won't be there. If you are low in money and
experience, 
you can use this to grab some money and experience, but it still
counts 
toward the total turn counts.
	2) Always, I mean always kill a battleship with "Lucky", even
if it's
piloted by a nobody because it yields lots of money.
	3) There are two planes in the game that is mainly used for
resupply,
and you can choose from the few pilots. Both planes should be piloted
by the 
girls because they have the most useful magic. For the one in Radieen,
pick 
the girl with the lowest level because she has lucky, resupply and
love, not 
to mention that she can move twice at level 38. As for the other
plane, the 
girl has rally, which is extremely useful in later stages, but she has
to be 
at level 32.
	4) If you press the top buttons and select and start together,
the 
game will be rebooted to the main menu. Useful if you don't want to
press 
reset all the time, especially in PS version.
 
7) Closing comments
 
	Finally, I would like to thank Phillip L
Yee(
phi...@value.net
) for 
helping me translate some of the names and stuff and for correcting
some of 
my mistakes in the first version. I also need use thank the guys from
the 
Gundam Project(
http://gundam.anime.net
) since I use many of the name 
translation for the Gundam series from there. 
	For those of you that only played the SFC version and really
like 
the old anime shows, make sure to at least borrow the PS version
because 
those original voice actors and actoresses really make a difference.
Did you 
know that Inoue Kikuko, the voice actresses for Belldandy and Tendo
Kasumi, 
is actually doing the voice of one character in the game! 
	I know this FAQ really sucks, but this is my very first
attempt at 
writing one, so bare with me. As I said before, E-mail me any comments
or 
suggestions to me. See you (maybe) later!

Grazie di cuore, sebbene delle cose le avessi capite da solo cosi' e'

Vorrei sapere se capita solo a me: anche con la patch i menu sono

E' normale, capita sempre. Certe volte sono leggibili, altre no.
Bisogna aspettare che l'ips patch venga ulteriormente perfezionato.

Mi dispiace : purtroppo li' non ci capisco ancora nulla. Ho pero'
