Maeda
What Maeda wants to taking about is "Picking Fights"
Takenaka
"Picking fights" sounds dangerous, right? Wangan Maxi is not a game like street fighting.
Maeda
I don't mean that, I mean the fights in the Ghost battle. If there are no good players at the arcade, the ghosts are always waiting for you, so you can challenge the ghosts.
Takenaka
Yeah, that's right. You can play the ghosts anytime. And it's not as if they are sitting next to you, so you can have fun playing the game with no need to be nervous.
Maeda
Yes! "Playing with your friends", the topic of the previous contents, is really fun, but "Ghost Battle" is also really good fun in different ways, as you can chose your rival freely any time, and play as many times as you want.
Takenaka
You mean you can select the ghosts of people who come to the game arcade everyday, and players that you often see around, and challenge them by selecting their name, right?
Maeda: Yes, and furthermore, you can also race with your busy friend's ghost.
Maeda: Yes, and furthermore, you can also race with your busy friend's ghost.
Takenaka
Sounds good.
Maeda
And as the ghost is always at the arcade, it means you can have ghosts at every arcade in Japan.
Takenaka
In other words, we can leave our souls all around Japan!
Maeda
That's right. And our souls can be challenged by many players.
Takenaka
That's just too exciting!!!
Maeda
So, we would like to show you how to play the Ghost Battle so that you can challenge or be challenged by ghosts.
Takenaka
Who will demonstrate? Me, as usual?
Maeda
We are talking about "Picking Fights" here, so a fighter would be the best choice.
Takenaka
You mean HIM? These days he is confident enough to appear in Monthly Maxi 2 in a Judo uniform.
Maeda
Yes, yes, HIM!!
Takenaka
Oh, he is just the man we are looking for, isn't he?
 |
Nagamatsu
I'm going a matchmaking party today. Oh yeah.
|
Maeda
What are you saying? You are here to work for us, right?
Nagamatsu
What?
Maeda
We are about to go out to show the readers how much fun Ghost Versus Battle Mode is. Get ready. And of course you should wear a Judo uniform.
Nagamatsu
Now? But I'm going a matchmaking party ... And I have to wear a Judo uniform?
Maeda
Of course! Today's theme is "Picking Fights". Get ready, I cannot wait any longer!
Nagamatsu
No waaaaay!
So, Nagamatsu was forced to join Maeda, and his bosses headed to "Namco Land Asagaya branch".
Maeda
The first place is Namco Land Asagaya branch!
Nagamatsu
Oh-ho! I can feel the exciting battles of Wangan Maxi 3 even from here, sir. Let's go straight in. "Here we go!"
Nagamatsu
There are so many Wangan Maxi 3 cabinets here. It is the miracle from the gods.
Maeda
This is not the time to be surprised. Let's get moving!!
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir!!
Maeda
First, let's start from the race with the "Crown owner", which means he is the fastest racer at this game arcade.
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir. I am trembling with excitement before the fastest racer.
Nagamatsu
It is very convenient that I can race with the fastest racer at the arcade anytime, because in the network game battle, the strongest player is not always at the arcade.
Maeda
Furthermore, in Ghost Versus Battle Mode, we can have exciting race with a ghost which has an actual body to attack us with. It is completely different from the existing racing games with transparent ghosts.
In the existing ghost car battle games, whether you win or not is finally decided by the final time at the attack line. But this game is different. You cannot win the race if you do not have strategies and comprehensive skills like blocking and nose tucking at the corner entrance!

Nagamatsu
Here we go! You're saying that the beautiful line is not the only essential element and that everyone has a chance to win.
Meade
That's right! You race with a ghost and you are welcome anytime. You might find the key to beating the ghost if you challenge it many times!
Nagamatsu
Here we go! First, I would like to challenge the Osaka Champion.
Nagamatsu
I ....lost...
Maeda
No, you are weak!!
Nagamatsu
The mortal masters are too strong for me!!
Maeda
... We seem to have no choice. Let's have a fight against a ghost with the same level as you.
Nagamatsu
Here we go! My card is 820 HP. I will race someone with 820 HP class, that is, level 9.
Nagamatsu
All I need is to experience a victory.
Maeda
Good! That's it! Now you've got it!
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir.
Nagamatsu
OK, I won.
Maeda
OK. Let's go to the next arcade!
Nagamatsu
W...Why?
Maeda
You know nothing!!! There are as many masters and rivals as the game arcades. It is the same as street fights. So, we have to go to the next arcade. Don't you remember I was talking about "Picking Fights"!?
Nagamatsu
OK!! Let's go "Picking fights".
Then they visited many arcades...
Maeda
We had many battles today. I cannot wait for tomorrow to come.
Nagamatsu
Tomorrow? Why tomorrow??
Maeda
You have defeated a lot of ghosts and your ghost got saved on the arcades that you played on.
Nagamatsu
OK! I got it. You mean I can be challenged by many people even though I don't know about it.
Maeda
Yes! We will check it tomorrow.
Nagamatsu
Cool! I feel like a hunter setting up traps. I can imagine my ghosts are beating lots of rivals...
Maeda
You are too confident...
Nagamatsu
My ghost is the fastest. It's a legend!
The next day arrives...
Maeda
OK, let's check the battle record of the ghost you made yesterday.
Nagamatsu
OK! I have confidence. I would like to prepare a victory flag for my ghost.
Maeda
Insert the card to check the result!
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir!!
Nagamatsu
I'm gonna do it!
Nagamatsu
What the... What on earth is this?
Maeda
This is one of the most important elements of Ghost battle mode - it's called the "Revenge System".
Nagamatsu
Re... Revenge System... ?
Maeda
If your ghost was defeated by someone, then the message "Challenge received!" is displayed on the screen on inserting the card.
Nagamatsu
"Challenge received!"?
Maeda
Yes, the owner of the ghost you defeated yesterday saw a "Challenge received!" message like you, and he took revenge on your ghost.
Maeda
It's a message from an unseen rival. What are you going to do?
Nagamatsu
I'm ready! I'm going to fight him fair and square. I am gonna select YES! I am gonna select YES!
Maeda
It's the way a fighter should behave. It's very exciting! Select YES in the "Challenge received!" screen, then the preparation for racing begins immediately.
Nagamatsu
I'm gonna have a fight!
Nagamatsu
Oh, the ghost's way of driving shows that its owner means business.
Maeda
For sure anybody who has their ghost beaten must feel bad about it. The ghost seems very serious about taking revenge on you.
Nagamatsu
I'm ready! If he is serious, I should be serious too. I will show him my soul.
Nagamatsu
Cool! I just beat him. It's so exciting!
Maeda
Then your rival will be sent a "Challenge received!" message from you. This relationship with rivals is one of the most exciting parts of Ghost Battle mode. You and your rival know each other through your "Challenge received!" messages. You cannot feel this kind of excitement in other games.
Nagamatsu
Because we can name each other as rivals, the race gets really exciting.
Maeda
Selecting and being selected is very exciting. You are selected because your rival had a exciting race with you or because recognized you as a good player. Of course, it must be also true that he cannot stop playing until he beats you!
Nagamatsu
It is kind of exciting that I cannot see the actual rival.
Maeda
Furthermore, you can race the rival whenever and however many times you want! That's a really important point.
Nagamatsu
Absolutely. It's impossible in VS player mode.
Maeda
It may sometimes bother the player if you challenge him many times for real.
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir!!
Maeda
And you can check your ghost's racing history in the card confirmation screen, so you can check out how your ghost performed when you weren't around.
Nagamatsu
Great. This contains my winning and losing history and times.
Meda
Selecting the names in this list using "Select by card name." will make it easy to find your rivals.
Nagamatsu
Great rivals can be friends.
Meda
That's the spirit! The Ghost battle mode doubles the excitement when you and your rival compete with each other. Don't forget it!
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir!!
Meda
I showed you "Seeing your friends racing and showing him your racing" previously, but this "Defeating an unknown rival and having a re-mach with him later" is also very exciting. Do you understand?
Nagamatsu
Yes! Whether your friend is with you or not, you can enjoy the game in this New Ghost Versus Battle Mode!
Maeda
Yes! Then let's go to the next arcade to check your ghost.
Nagamatsu
Yes, Sir!!
