  Final Version on October 3, 2001
  - Revised!



  ==============
   INTRODUCTION
  ==============

  Again a good job by TECMO and they haven't altered the controls in the
  least. That's a very good thing and I checked everything rather quickly.
  CT4 is easier than I would have expected. It's a piece of cake compared
  to CT3 but it's better in terms of graphics, sound and the rest. Stay
  tuned for my review! :)


  =====
   FAQ
  =====

  Just the same as in my other CT FAQs. By the way, if you're wondering why
  I didn't write one for CT2 on NES, that's because I'm also writing a
  walkthrough for the game. But if you are playing CT2 and need help with
  the controls, you can use any of the other CT FAQs.
  Otherwise, this CT4 FAQ is complete! :)

  :::::: GAME CONTROLS ::::::

  Below going into more details, here are the game controls on the field.

  Control Pad  --->  move selected player
  A button     --->  confirm selection
  B button     --->  bring up menu while in possession/cancel selection
  Start        --->  pause game



  :::::: PLAYING THE GAME ::::::


  Here's how the game is played (you may also check my review which will be
  up soon).

  When you have the ball, press the directional buttons to move the player
  around. If you want to shoot, pass the ball or do some other action, press
  B to bring up your menu. You may then choose your action and the game
  will resume. I will be explaining all these in the next section.

  Note also that the menu also shows up when another player (only opponents,
  nothing happens when you're near your own players). You must then choose
  whether you'll pass the ball to someone else, dribble, etc...

  For spot kicks, a player automatically takes it but you may change the
  player if you want. You then choose your action.

  When the ball is with the opponent, you need to catch up with that player
  to bring the menu up and confirm your actions. To toggle between the
  players on the field, press A or B and press the directional buttons
  to chase the opponent around.



  :::::: EXPLANATION OF THE CONTROLS ::::::


  * * * WHEN IN POSSESSION * * *

  Let's assume that you now have the ball. Don't worry about getting used
  to those too late because the first match is very easy and you'll have 
  the ball nearly all the time. When you need to do an action, press B.
  The real explanations start now!

  Press B button ---> Bring up menu

  From here, press the following directions for the respective commands.

  Left ---> Pass
  If the players has multiple passes, a new  window opens and you can choose
  which one you want him to use.

  Right ---> Shoot
  A new window opens if the player has special abilities. Otherwise, just
  confirm it and maybe you'll score a goal. Note that the option remains
  the same in any case, i.e. SHOOT. What I mean here is that even if the 
  player will perform a header or a volley, the same option will be written
  all the time in the first window.

  Down ---> One-Two
  The option is always listed but of course, you can use it only when there
  are no opponents between you and another guy from your team. Some players
  have special one-two's between them and in these cases, you can still pull
  them out since the poor players who are in the path of the ball will be
  sent flying away when they touch the ball.

  Up ---> No action
  The player won't do anything and the game will resume. Note that the option
  uses some guts too.


  * * * WHEN IN POSSESSION AND SURROUNDED BY OPPONENTS * * *

  The options which are available when players are blocking your way.

  Left ---> Pass
  Try passing the ball to one of your fellow players. In this case, 2 things
  may happen. Either one of the players around you tries to steal the ball
  while you're about to hit the ball or they'll try to intercept the ball.
  Special passes open up in a new window.

  Right ---> Shoot
  If the player has a special shot, a new window opens for you to choose it.
  
  Down ---> One-Two
  Try to outrun them with the help of an unmarked player.

  Up ---> Dribble
  Be a man and try to dribble all of them. Most players have only the regular
  one and this will enable them to dribble at most 3 players. You can very
  rarely hope of dribbling 4 or 5 players unless you're very lucky. Special
  dribbles open in a new window and are better. I once dribbled 5 players
  including the goalkeeper with Tsubasa's Head Lift Dribble.


  * * * WHEN NOT IN POSSESSION * * *

  Not much controls here!

  A or B ---> Toggle between players

  Directions ---> Move selected player


  * * * WHEN NOT IN POSSESSION BUT CLOSE TO OPPONENT * * *

  Left ---> Intercept
  The player will wait for the opponent to shoot and will try to intercept
  the ball or to deviate its trajectory. If the opponent decides to keep the
  ball, he will try to steal it from him.

  Right ---> Block
  The player runs forward and tries to block the ball. May cause fouls if
  player is too rough.

  Down ---> No action
  The player doesn't do anything.

  Up ---> Tackle
  The player will tackle the opponent if he still has the ball. If the latter
  has already passed/shot the ball, he will run and try to intercept it.


  * * * AIR BALL IN YOUR OWN HALF * * *

  Left ---> Through pass
  Blah, don't bother with this. They miss all the time!

  Right ---> Clear the ball 
  The player will attempt to clear the ball and doesn't care to see if it
  will go towards one of his fellows. High-risk choice since the ball
  goes to the opponent most of the time. 

  Down ---> -

  Up ---> Control
  The player will stop the ball and bring it down. He may then run forward
  and the game resumes.


  * * * AIR BALL IN OPPONENT'S HALF * * *

  Left  ---> Pass
  Pass the ball to a nearby player.

  Right ---> Shoot
  If the player has special volleys or bicycle kicks, a new window will open
  with the list of options.

  Down ---> Block
  Block the ball and continue running.

  Up ---> Through shot/pass
  Don't bother with this as they seem to miss all the time and you'll only
  end up losing a good scoring opportunity.


  * * * HALF-TIME * * *

  At half-time, you'll first be presented with 2 options.

  First option ---> Team management
  You can view your players' stats and change their formation, etc...

  Second option ---> Resume game
  Second half starts immediately.


  * * * TEAM MANAGEMENT DURING HALF-TIME * * *

  You need to choose the first option during half-time to open this new
  window. Here's a brief description of what you'll see.

    ----------------                    
   |     PLAYERS    |                       O-> OPTIONS <-O

    ----------------

   Further explanations on the options!

   - Formation
     Change the formation of your team. The following formations are 
     available: 4-3-3
                4-4-2
                3-5-2
                Sweeper
     The choice is all yours here.

  - Strategy
    Set a strategy for your team. 
    3 choices: Attack
               Defense
               Neutral

  - Line-up
    This option allows you to make players who are currently playing change
    position. And no, you cannot mess with your goalkeeper! :)

  - Stats
    Allows you to view your players' stats and how much guts each move
    requires. If the player has a special ability, a new window appears
    after the one with the regular moves.

  - Exit
    Takes you to the previous screen where you can choose the second option
    to begin the second half.

 
  ============
   LAST NOTES
  ============

  I'm starting to believe that only the Genesis CT (which has nothing to do
  with the anime except the title) was the only one to be translated. CT4
  is only available in Japanese just like the others! Bou-ouh!!

  Have contributions, corrections or got comments? Mail me at 
  kof_2k@hotmail.com but please put the game title as the subject line or I
  will never reply back.
