2. Update

     After lazy for almost 1 years by update literal FAQS but never post due
   to gamefaqs update fap method changed.  Finally they are postesd.
     And in this month I will recheck all FAQS and correct literal mistake.
   after this I will abandon update for all FAQS due to I didn't play these
   game much anymore.  Two reason because of this one of my best opponent
   permanently moved to America,  2nd reason is Touhou Suimusou....
     Thing that I said "Thing that I most fear with EFZ is not Melty Blood
   but Touhou Suimusou." is become true now.
     Yeah and another reason that I will write Touhou Suimusou and want to
   give piority on this.

3. Setting
   Run config.exe in game directory there will be a dialog box.
   1P & 2P Control is the settings for the input device.
   OPTION
   CPU:    Level of CPU difficulty
   FPS:    30 FPS or 60 FPS
            If your system slows down on some effects using 30 fps
          can help, but there will be a jerky image as drawback.  Very useful
          for systems that have a slow graphic card (I mean slow for directdraw
          on a Pentium class system which is not graphic card nowadays.).
   Effect: Plain or Normal
            Changing effect to plain can double framerate on P166MMX on some
          effects.  Change this first before changing to 30 FPS mode.
   Damage: Half, Normal or Double
   Use 640x480 resolution
             If you run the game and you end up with a black screen or a
           DirectX report saying can't initialize that resolution or you use
           TV out and unable to get it work with 320x240 , using this option
           may help.

4. Moves

   4.1 Basic Moves
         In command list the numbers are related to a direction on Numpad on
       keyboard.
         For 5 that mean you need to release D-pad to natural possition then
       resume rest command.
       ie. 2563+H that mean you have to press down, release d-pad, front and
           front/down + Heavy Attack.
       Abbreviations:
       L = Light  Attack
       M = Medium Attack
       H = Heavy  Attack
       A = Any Attack
       S = Special Button
       F = Front (towards enemy)
       B = Back (away from enemy)
       D = Down
       J = Jump
       C = crouch
       (air) When character is in air.

     - FF = Dash forward
     - BB = Dash backwards
         Unlike other games when you use back step you can still get hit.
     - BB at second tap release dpad immediatly = backstep (2.10 to 3.04)
         While back stepping you will not get hit with any attack. Be careful
       about the second tap, if you hold for too long it will become a back
       dash instead.
     - (air)FF = Air Dash
     - (air)BB = Air Back Dash
     - B+H/F+H = Throw
     - (air)F+H = During air throw.(3.00)
         You are unable to excute air throw while doing an air dash.  However
       you could do an air throw after the dash is finished.
     - FF+A = Dash Attack
         Some characters can use this.  Most dash attacks can use attack
       cancel. Some of them can use jump cancel (these will be described later).
     - Reinforce Attack
         Take a look at the reinforce gauge below the SP gauge (Gauge that has
       a number). Once the gauge is filled to red or light blue you can use a
       reinforce attack by executing a command with the heavy attack button.
       This will take the whole gauge when the gauge is red or take 25% of the
       gauge when the gauge islight blue.
     - Eterny Special
         Once you execute a command that is an eterny special attack it will
       use the SP gauge (the gauge that has a number) as a cost.  Most ES
       attacks can have different levels of attack: L uses 1 gauge, M uses 2
       gauges and H uses 3 gauges.  For moves that use 3 gauges to excute from
       V.3.00 on, user must have less than 33% life.
     - Fall Recovery
         After being stunned or knocked over, you can do a fall recovery by
       pressing any attack button when the stun gauge is reduced to empty.
       For an attack that doesn'thave a stun gauge you can't do a fall
       recovery.

   4.2 Advanced Moves
     - Jump Cancel
         Press jump at the same time that your attack hits the opponent
       and you will jump and can continue an air combo.  Note that some
       attacks can do this and some attacks can't.
     - Recoil Guard
         When an attack is about to hit press back immediately (do not hold
       the button or it won't work).
         Different from a normal guard in that you won't stun after a guard
       and you can counter attack.  And you can use a recoil guard anytime,
       even when you can't guard like a crouch attack while you're in the air
       or when you are frozen after some attacks like Sayuri's Magical Smash.
       Also, you won't receive damage with a recoil guard with almost attack.
     - Instant Charge
         While you're doing a combo press 22+H and you'll execute an instant
       charge. You can continue combos that normally can't continue and damage
       after the instant charge is increased a bit.  Also, instant charge has
       the effect of stopping time for afraction of a second, giving you more
       time to execute lengthy moves like some eterny specials.
   4.3 Command List
       All Japanese text is encoded in S-JIS code. If you can't view it I
     recommend you download Japanese text support for Internet Explorer 5
     by clicking View->Encoding->Japanese.  If you still don't have it
     IE will ask you to download the file.  But for Windows 2000 and XP,
     windows will ask you to install from the cd.  A bit sad for Windows XP
     that it might force you to install the whole Asian font which needs 240
     MB of hdd space -_-. Thats probably why my friend calls this Windows
     eXtra Problem ^_^. Another way is to use a program to decode this text
     like njwin from http://www.njstar.com.
     If you are using Netscape Navigator, you can click on View->Character
     Coding->More->East Asian->Japanese (Shift_JIS) to display japanese
     characters correctly.
       Sorry, but some command translations are not so good since I am not
     good with both Japanese and English.  Some translation help is welcome.
       List of comments that are used in commands.
       >        You must execute command above the others first, then you
                can execute the commands with arrows.
                IE. Akane
                Assault Leap
                >Air Carrier
                >Air Sting
                >Stun Needle
                You can execute Air Carrier, Air Sting or Stun Needle after you
                execute Assault Leap.
       (close)  You should be close to your opponent to use this move.
       (air)    While character is in the air.
       (air+)   This move can be used both in the air and on the ground.
       (ES)     Eterny Special
       (OV)     Overdrive Move
                  Move that uses 3 gauge and undocumented.  For version 3.00
                and above you need to have 30% hp left, you can notice that
                your life is blinking red which means that you can use this.
       (RGC)    Recoil Guard Counter (see 5.1 section for info)
       (number) Number of SP gauge that is needed for that move.  If it's blank
                that means you can use L,M,H to choose which number of gauges
                to use.
       (NI)     That move is not implemented.  That's caused by a deadline time
                in Comic Market 62nd.  If they didn't sell by that time they
                have to wait for the next comic market, which is 4 months later.
       (X.XX-)  For version x.xx and below only.
       (X.XX)   For version x.xx and above only.

  - You are able to cancel from Maiden Fang to Maiden Sakura without
    using IC
  [Translation note]
  - I'm not sure if she uses Sakura flower in the Maiden Sakura move instead of
    flower in firework or not.  "Firework" in Japanese comes from two words,
    hanabi(花火). Hana(花) meaning flower and bi(火) meaning fire.
  - Sakura means cherry blossom

                                                          hp below.

- Correct timing for Maiden Capture is when she raises her hand a 2nd time->
  when she raises her face after crushing opponents face to the ground->anytime
  before 26th hit.
- You can escape the chain after Maiden Capture by pressing the button
  corresponding to the move .  EG. to escape from maiden crush press L at the
  correct chain timing, pressing reapeatedly is allowed.  Then if you miss at
  the 2nd chain you have a chance either to escapewith L or M.  So you have 3
  chances to escape from the maiden finger. However pressing both L and M at
  the same time is not allowed and as a result you can't enter escape commands
  at all.
  PS. In version 3.03 and above use H to escape L instead.

   4.4 Combo System.

     List of abbreviated characters that are used.
       L  Light Attack
       M  Medium Attack
       H  Heavy Attack
       S  Special Attack
       C  crouch
       JC Jump Cancel
       IC Instant Charge
       RF Reinforce Attack
       ES Eterny Special
       LA Ground Linear Air Dash

     Buttons that can be used in training mode
       ESC exit that mode
       F4  Gauge auto filling on
       F5  Gauge auto filling off
       F6  Switch CPU between standing ,jumping and crouching
       F7  Gauges on/off
       (F7 can also be CPU auto-block in some versoions)
       You can use F4 and F5 in VS mode too.

     1. Chain combo
         You can make several attacks by pressing the attack button and
       pressing another attack button when the first attack either hits or is
       guarded.
       IE. Mai L->M->H
       Some attacks can do this more that once.
       IE. Makoto M->M->H->H->H
       And you can mix standing attacks and crouch attacks together.
       IE. Akane L->C+M->C+M->C+H

     2. Attack Cancel
         While you do a chain combo, entering commands before combo is finished
       will continue to add new attacks onto the combo, making it longer in a
       queue-like method.  You can use Eterny Special attacks too if you can
       enter it fast enough.  (it helps a lot if you use instant charge)
       IE. Mai L->M->M->H->Dispersing (6+H)

     3. Air Combo
         When your attack hits the opponent and they are stunned/fall over in
       the air you can seea stun gauge below them that tells you how long you
       can attack them for. This gauge will increase when the opponent is hit,
       and decrease when they are not.  When the gauge is empty you can't attack
       the opponent anymore.  However, some attacks don'thave a stun gauge at
       all, like Sayuri's RF Magical Press.  This means you can attack opponent
       anytime before he/she falls to the ground.
       First change the cpu to jump by pressing F6, then try to determine which
       attack works best for that character.  Most characters work with
       L->M->JC->M->H.
       IE. Nanase Jump->L->M->JC->M->H
         Then try to find an attack that lifts the opponent up, there are 2 ways
       to lift the opponent up, either lift the opponent up directly or flop the
       opponent to the edge of the screen and attack them when they bounce off.
         - Lift opponent up
             Some character's dash attack can do this.
           IE. Nanase(bare hand) Dash+C+H->JC->L->M->JC->M->H(1.10)
             Or use crouch then use Instant Charge then continue with L or M or
           use a dash attack.
           IE. Akane C+H->IC->Dash+M->JC->L->M->JC->M->H
             Or use a special attack then use Instant Charge immediately.
           IE. Nanase Blasting Iron Fist (214+L)->IC->Jump->L->M->M->H
         - Flop opponent into corner
             You can flop opponent by using a dash attack and some Reinforce
           attacks. After the opponent is flopped against the edge of the screen
           you can continue with an air combo, but it will only work when the
           opponent is not farther than 1/4 of the screen away.
           IE. Nanase(with bamboo sword) Dash+H->Jump->L->M->JC->M->H

     4. Usage of Instant Charge
       You can use instant charge to extend your combo by.
         1. Do a chain combo.  You can also do an instant charge after just
            one attack,  but it is more useful in a combo
         2. Use instant charge by press 22+H (Reinforce gauge must be red or
            light blue)
         3. While the screen is frozen from the instant charge you can enter
            any command you want to use.  Either a regular attack, special
            attack, eterny special or even jumping.
         4. Continue with a combo.
       Here's a few examples.
         Use during a combo and continue with the combo
           ie. Akane  M->M->C+H->IC->Dash+M->Jump->L->M->Jump->M->H
               Sayuri (Corner) L->M->H(1hit)->Magical sword(623+L)->IC->
                      ->Jump->L->M->Jump->M->H
         Use before you use an eterny special level 3
             You don't have to use the IC, but I recommend it. It can buy
           extra time for you to enter commands and it can increase the
           damage of combo as well.
           ie. Ayu    L->M->M->H->IC->Shining Swing Wing Punch(236236+H)
               Mio    (Long range mode) L->C+M->M->C+H->IC->
                      Vampire Hunter(214214+H)
               Misaki L->M->M->C+H->RF Assault Gush(214+H)(2 hit)->IC->
                      Down Burst(236236+H)
         Use after an Eterny Special
           ie. Nanase Truly of Maiden Fist LV 1 (236236+L)->IC->C+H->Jump->L
                      ->M->Jump->M->H
               Nanase (Corner) Truly of Maiden Fist LV 1 (236236+L)->IC->
                      Truly of Maiden Fist LV 2 (236236+L)

     5.Usage of flicker instant charge
         Main use of flicker instant charge is to allow you to make combo after
       use projectile.
       ie.  Mizuka L->M->H->236+M->FIC->236236+H
            Mio    (Long range mode)L->M->2+H->236+M->FIC->follow as you wish.
         Right for Mio you could use light attack to continue combo after
         236+L without need of flicker instant charge,  but 236+M is have same
         damage but damage reduce is lesser.  You also able to shoot 2 arrow
         then do flicker instant charge but that need extremely good timing.

     6.Usage of air dash
       - Ground linear air dash
           You can do this by pressing 96 quickly. You will execute an air
         dash which is very close to the ground and can attack an opponent who
         is crouch guarding.  An example is Mai. If you can execute a ground
         linear air dash which is low enough to hit with her medium attack that
         is ok  (PS. In later version you need to fallen down after air dash
         first before use medium attack,  otherwise that attack is missed.
         You may need to dash a bit higher if you want to evade a projectile.
           However this is a bit risky to do because you can't guard or attack
         at the inital of the dash.  So if the opponent guesses right he/she
         will use some sort of anti-air attack and continue with their own
         combo.  The initial dash length varies depending on which character
         you use.  This is great for Mai, whose initial range is very short
         but very risky for Sayuri whose initial range is very long.
         eg. Mai LA->M->(landed)L->M->H->Awakening
           Another way is to just do a linear air dash then use a throw attack.
         This is deadly for characters who have a special throw command like
         Sayuri. However this game has an anti-cheap-throw-system by not
         allowing you to throw when the opponent is stunned from guarding or
         when the opponent has just stood up after a fall.  You should also
         enter commands quietly because some players can guess what are you
         going to do by hearing the typing sound when you enter commands.
       - Extend air combo with air dash
         eg. Nanase L->M->Blasting Iron Fist(214+L)->IC->JC->L->M->M->Dash->M
       - Air dash air combo.
           The name is a bit confused.  I called it a basic air combo, which
         is mainly used on Watanabe Production's games as Double jump air combo.
           The difference is after the first set of attacks in the air, you have
         to executean air dash instead of a second jump.
         eg. Sayuri Magical Blade(3 hit)->IC->M->Dash->M->H
             Akane  L->M->C+H->JC->L->Dash->L->M->Assault Leap(214+A)->Air
                    Carrier(4+H)->Rain of Tear(236236+A)
           With right set attack and timing when you landed after first set of
         air dash air combo you can jump and execute another set again and
         again if you know right timing.
         eg. Sayuri Magical Blade(3 hit)->IC->M->Dash->M->H->(Landed)Jump->L
                    ->M->(corner)->M->H->Magical Shot

     7. Additonal combos with instant charge while breaking.
          When you are breaking (when reinforce gauge is light blue)
          instant charge will have addional effects which are:
        - 50% extra damage on next attack
        - Stun gauge becomes full again after next hit
          So if you use the right timing you could extend lots of combos with
        this.  For example.
        Sayuri RF Magical Press(41236+H)->Dash->L->M->H->Landed->L->M->C+H->
               Jump->L->M->H->Jump->L->M->H
          Ackkkk forgot where to use instant charge,  Try to use where you see
        it fit.
        Mizuka L->M->623+L->IC->L->M->Dash->M->landed->H->Jump->L->M->Dash->M
               Cornered->H->Landed->H->Jump->M->H->Jump->M->H->623+L
          Note this is a very diffucult combo with a lot of timing so don`t
        worry if you can`t excute all of this.  As long as you can see the
        effects of instant charge.
          Also, with some attacks you must not press the button after the first
        attack button is pressed like other games. Especially if you are used
        to Watanabe`s games.  One important thing is the timing when you excute
        a dash.  With correct timing you will be able to hit with L when landed
        without the need of walking after you've landed.  If the dash is too
        short, H will miss at RF Magical Press(41236+H)->Dash->L->M->H->.  If
        the dash istoo long Sayuri will use a short-range M instead of a
        long-range M (which is the correct attack).After this you have to learn
        the timing by yourself and find some way to increase damage or increase
        accuracy.


5. Advanced Tips
   5.1 Recoil Guard Mastering
       This part may be a bit difficult and take a lot of time to train but you
     can get lots of advantages like:
     - You will not flop away from an opponent who wants to keep their distance
       from you.
     - You will not freeze like with a normal guard.
     - You will not get hit by an anti air attack.
     - Your HP will not reduce like with normal guard in most attacks.
     - You can Recoil Guard while you freeze after an attack.
       Thing you need to train for the recoil guard is the timing of the first
     hit and the consistent timing of successive hits.
       So who should you train with?  First is Misao with her slow projectile.
     You can train some basic timing with her:
       - Outside of windows(1hit)
           To train some basic timing
       - Toy Knife(2 hit)
           Train some basic multiple hit Recoil Guard
       Then train with Shiori with these projectiles.
       - Beware above of you (3 hit)
       - Used to cold weather LV1(5 hit)
           If you could do a perfect Recoil Guard against these you should able
         to Recoil Guard almost any anti air attack now.
       You should ask one of your friends for a programmable joystick to
     help you recoil guard better.
       Nayuki
         - Beam LV3
             With this you will learn the timing of the first hit with an
           instant-hit Eterny Special which is used a lot.
         - 超級だおー電影弾
             You should learn how to Recoil Guard fast projectiles from this.
       Shiori
         - Stole Swing
       After this you should train to recoil guard any attack which you are
     usually trapped with.

     Time when recoil guard is enabled
        You can recoil guard after you attack and freeze time, and
     when you are not attacking.  You are unable to recoil guard when you are
     attacking.

     Recoil Guard Counter attack
        After you recoil guard sucessfully you can counter attack with any
     command or regular attack, including throw commands.  Just enter the
     command when the sound of the recoil guard stops.  This is deadly for
     throwing characters which are able to throw around 80 percent.
        Also this is useful for countering multiple hit projectiles which some
     opponents like to use to sap HP when guarding. Some commands like Truly
     of Maiden Fist could counter that.
        A Nice example of this system is a thing which the AI does with Ayu.
     That`s why a novice player usually says that Ayu is cheap with her counter.
     But after you know the system well this is not a serious thing anymore.

     Recoil Counter
        After your attack gets recoil guarded you are still able to recoil
     guard back, just tap back in correct timing with your opponents attack.
     Then you are able to counter back and the opponent is able to recoil
     counter back and so on.
        So these are some ways to prevent your opponent from recoil countering
     back.
        - Use a throw command if available.
        - Don't counter immediately but wait a bit, then attack to ruin their
          timing.

   5.2 Way to fight against Recoil Armor
       When you fight against Nanase you might have a hard time with her Recoil
     Armor if she uses it well, especially when she has eaten Kimuchi ramen.
     There are still other ways rather than escaping:
       - Throwing Doppel Nanase's Maiden Finger move.
       - Some normal crouch attacks
       - Past Mai`s attack
       - Makoto's 2nd heavy attack
       - Mio's RF adventurer move
       - A Multiple hit projectile like Magical Agent.
         For a current update, when Nanase's eaten Kimuchi ramen she can`t guard
      so that's a prime time to throw any projectile to her.


6. Trouble Shooting

  - I used config.exe to configure the game but it says to reinstall game from
    the cd and refuses to allow me to configure.

      Clear the read only attribute from key.ini in the game directory.  The
    game installer didn't clear this attribute.

  - I tried to update the game to v 1.10 by running patchsetup.exe but it says
    "file copy error".

      That's caused by some missing files in your update directory,  usually
    マニュアル.htm that your OS may be unable to read or write.
      You have to copy the files from the EFZ directory to your game directory
    manually, then you need to ask people who have a Japanese supported OS for
    all character .dat files since patchsetup.exe appends data from
    XXX_sabun.dat to character.dat data too.
      If you can find a japanese file supported OS I have already
    uploaded updated .dat files to my homepage (see contact me section for
    address).  Manually update the game by copying all files in the efz
    directory in the update and replace the .dat files that you got, then
    everything should work fine.

  - Stage on young Mizuka doesn't have any music

      That's caused by a fault in patchsetup.exe in version 1.10, it will not
copy the music in that stage from that stage to game directory.  You will
have to
    copy it manually.  In patch version 1.20 this bug is fixed.

  - When the game starts there's some error massage and the game quits back to
    the character select menu.

    - Does your system have enough resources to run?
        For Windows 98 this game needs a lot of resources to run which is about
      75% or more.  Close all unnecessary programs, then try again.
    - Did you update the game correctly?
        When this game updates, the installer doesn't just copy files from dat
directory to the game directory, but appends xxx_sabun.dat to .dat files
in
      the character directory too.  If these have some errors occuring before
      the installer is finished, these files may still not be appended.  Then
      when the game loads,  it will end up without the needed data and show an
      error message.

  - When I run the game, it says "can't initialize xxx x xxx resolution"

    - Use 640x480 resolution instead.
    - For Matrox G450 card make sure you aren't using a monitor that's attached
      to the secondary connecter on the card as the primary monitor because the
      game is unable to switch to full screen.
    - For Matrox user make sure you are not using dual head clone mode,  that
      mode disabled 8-bit color mode which game needed.  If you really want
      matrox G400/G450 to display TV-out with dual head clone,  get driver
      version 6.04.028 or 6.23.225(didn't sure for this version have to check
      again) for windows 98,  these are driver that support 8-bit mode with
      dual head clone mode.  However don't aspect to run new game like Touhou
      Suimusou with these driver much because there tv-out display with these
      driver still have lot of buggy enough to said it's unusable.

  - How to run this game smoothly on a system that has less than 64 MB ram.

      If you have a lot of hardisk activity and the game runs slowly,
    especially while doing instant charge, this is probably because your
    computer doesn't have enough RAM, and the system is having to constantly
    read data from the hard drive (the slow way) instead of being able to read
    it from RAM (the fast way).  To fix this:
      - Use windows 95 if possible
          Windows 98 wastes 5 mb of ram with Internet Explorer.  Windows 2000
       used 46 MB for the kernel data and there's 16 MB which won't page to
       the swapfile at all. (meaning that it's stubborn RAM that can't be used
       for games)
      - Close all programs that you don't absolutely need.
          Most programs for windows take 2mb or more to run. ALL programs use
        some amount of RAM.  Run msconfig.exe and remove all programs that did
        not appear after a clean install of windows. Especially in the windows
        directory becauset his is where trojans and spyware usually hide. eg
        maintrickler.exe,"Timesink AD gateway monitor", because it's
        not needed at all.  The only reason it's there is that you agreed with
        the EULA and know what they're doing with your privacy.  Also close
        virus scan software, firewalls andother utilities you use.
      - For on board graphic chips try to set the shared memory as small as
        possible.
          Go to the bios setup menu and set to as little as possible. 2 MB is
        usually enough for 2D in most cases.
      - If you have a memory compression program like Magnaram or Softram 95
        then use that.
          These programs compress used memory to make more memory available
        to the operating system. For gaming the compression is about 20-50%
        and this helps a lot.  If you don't have these programs, ask someone
        who has a 486, they usually come with one.  (or just look for them
        on the internet, search for "memory compression" on software sites
        like www.tucows.com , www.shareware.com and www.download.com )
      - Lower the sampling rate of the game music
          Because the game loads the whole music file to memory before playing
        it, lowering the sampling rate makes the file smaller which takes less
        RAM. This game uses 16 bit 22 khz which is about 4 to 12 MB.
          You can lower the sampling rate of the wave file with windows sound
        recorder,  however to lower the sampling rate of a lot of files I
        recommend that you get a program that allows you to convert multiple
        files with once command, like EZ cd extracter.
          Drawback is that the music looping will restart at the end of the
        file instead because the programmer is delicate enough to check if
        the music is modified then disable looping from a specific point in
        the file.

    General setting for me.

    48 MB of ram, ram compression enabled
      - Windows 98 Japanese Edition Second Edition

    48 MB of ram, ram compression disabled
      - Windows 98 Japanese Edition Second Edition
      - 8 bit 22khz stereo music

    32 MB of ram, ram compression enabled
      - Windows 98 Japanese Edition Second Edition
      - 8 bit 22khz mono music

    PS. These setting was tested on version 2.0X . Game version V.3.0X engine
        seem use more ram and these setting may not work anymore.

  - When I play a replay file the movements are screwed up.
      You're probably using the wrong version of the game.  You have
    to keep the game versions 1.11,2.05 and 2.06 to play most replay files. For
    version 1.20 there seems to be nothing changed until version 2.06 so I
    assume that with some testing that you can replay version 1.20 with the
    game version 2.05 without problem.
      How do you know which version they used to make the replay? If you
    downloaded it and the site did not tell you, you can guess by the files
    datestamp.  People shouldn'tplay an out-of-date version of the game,
    that's what updates are for!

7. MISC

   - What does the letter for a character in the Bad Moon Edition mean?
     (spoiler below!)
       Note: I got this informaion from someone else, so it may not be correct.
     This is a small part of the Bad Moon story line, it's the room number in
     the girl's dormitory.  C room is for normal people who aren't that special
     and have nasty, unpleasant things done to them (which we cant mention
     here),  while A room is for the girls who seem like a Goddess,
     and get better treatment.  D room is even worse...(again, can't mention
     it)
