Freeplay
Rule Select:

Mode - Battle/VS or Team/Assist
Rule (Ru~ru?) - Free Battle (Each player has a certain no. of lives) or Senriki Battle( Each person has a certain amount of HP/power)
Rule Details: If you have selected Free Battle, then the default here would be "Infinite Respawns"; From default, left to right: Infinite Respawns, No respawn, 1,2,3~8 respawns etc.
If you have selected Senriki Battle (or w/e the proper translation is), then you can select the amount of HP each player has (I haven't tried this mode yet, but i assume the numbers are refering to the HP). The default here is 600, and goes up by 100 increments from 100 to 1000, then from there, it increases by 1000 up to 3000.
Battle Timer: Set time limit for the battle, default is 3 minutes. (1~5, 10, 15, 20 min settings)
Song Select: On or Off.
Large Mechs: On or Off for allowing the use of large sized mechs.
Chiyu~n: Something about a 'chiyu~n barameta', default is LIMIT, followed by On or Off options.
SP: On or Off. Self-explanatory.
Skills (Sukiru): On or Off. This one's for skills.
Mech Forms: Here you can set a limit on the form used in battle. Default is ALL, followed by Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid.

Not sure what to call this one - "enclosed area"?

Okay, next screen:
P1, COM1, COM2 and COM3. You can disable the COM players by press left or right and highlighting 'NO ENTRY'.


Press Circle to go into player settings;
From left to right: Cost (I still have no idea what this does/refers to), picture of the mech, picture of the pilot, settings:
>Team - Select the teams. A, B, C, or D.
> Mechanic - Default is auto-select, press left or right to navigate and pick your mech
> Pilot - Pilot select, default should be your main character.
> Level - Level of the player/COM.

Press Square to go into Mech/Pilot/Color Edit window.
Press Circle to confirm your settings.
Also, some mechs have special pilot limitations, so you have to pick the 'right' pilot in order to use that mech. The Fire Valkyrie can only be piloted by Basara, for example. If you don't know who the right pilot is, in the pilot selection, just pick 'random' [the one with Japanese writing instead of the pilot's face, with RANDOM on the bottom. Duh.]

After you've done everything, press Circle to confirm everything, select Yes. Voila, enjoy your freeplay.
