| I. Introduction: |
+==============================================================================+
1. Background and Purpose: (Int1)
Rockman DASH 2 - MegaMan Legends 2 in the US - has been re-released several
times over the past years since its initial release on April 20th of 2000.
Most recently, it was re-released onto the Sony PSP handheld, September 8th (my
birthday ^_^) of 2005. Unfortunately, the port was not, and likely won't ever
be released outside Japan.
Certain apsects of the game were changed in the PSP version, including the cost
of Special Weapon upgrades. Fans of the series may remember the Shining Laser's
infamous z9,999,999 (the maximum amount you can have at a time) Energy upgrade.
However, for the PSP version the costs for all the upgrades have been severely
cut - to about a third of their original price!
2. What This Guide Is: (Int2)
This guide shows the new costs of Weapon Upgrades, by Special Weapon name. The
stats appear in the order: Attack, Energy, Range, Rapid, Special - as they do
in the game. Total costs are provided for each weapon, along with a total cost
for the whole lot at the end. I'm going to try to set it up with the original
Playstation Weapon Upgrade Costs, too, so that you can see just how great the
difference is. I might also include locations for necessary weapon-building
items later, seeing as it's a bit harder to understand what's what if you've
imported and don't understand the language(like I did).
3. What this Guide Isn't: (Int3)
This is not a guide for choosing and using Special Weapons; there are plenty of
those out there already. This guide is only intended to cover the costs of
upgrades. The costs are different, but the weapons are very much the same. See
an old MegaMan Legends 2 Walkthrough if you need help in that regard.
+==============================================================================+
| II. Version History: |
+==============================================================================+
(VerH)
Version 1.00: August 3, 2007
Created Guide. Added Weapons information.
Version 1.01: February 2, 2008
Generally cleaned up Guide: lined up bars, and fixed spelling.
+==============================================================================+
| III. Special Weapons: |
+==============================================================================+
"[INFINITE]" in the Energy column indicates that the Weapon in question will
never run out of Ammo; otherwise there's a limit to each one(it varies by
weapon). Where weapons have a Special Stat, there's an extra line describing
what it affects(that also varies by weapon). Everything else is pretty straight
forward.

B. Usage
The values are straight from the game; I don't claim any credit for the numbers
themselves. If someone decides to pull the numbers from this guide and use
them in a guide of his own, I have no problem with that - how *could* I prove
he took the numbers from my guide anyway?
Once again, this guide is copyright, Andrew Schmidt, 2007:
I demand that you do not claim credit for *this* guide. I also demand that
anyone who uses this guide on his site gets permission to use it from me first.
If I give permission to use this guide, the entire guide must be shown, with
credit given to me.
C. Special Thanks and Credits
1.Capcom - For making this game, for making the Rockman DASH/MegaMan Legends
series, and for being awesome enough to put it out for a portable system.
Not so much for ignoring it for the past few years, though. Tsk tsk tsk..
Also thanks for the beautiful green-haired goddess who is Mistress Yuna ^_^
2.The MegaMan Legends fan community - For keeping me hooked on the series for
as long as I have been. Particularly MegaMan Legends Station, for having
provided a very detailed information resource on the series.
3.MegaMan Storm - For giving me a site for which to produce content, even
though I've hardly done much since I've been on board.
