Multigba S

Game Downloads: Original

If you plan to run the emulator on a Desktop or Laptop, please start with Step 1.
If you're using an Android device, you can install Multigba S from the Google Play Store, set it up, and skip to step 5.

Step 1 - Download the latest version of BlueStacks X and install it.

Step 2 - Enable HyperV

If BlueStacks asks you to grant it HyperV permissions and restart, make sure to save and close everything before accepting.

Step 3 - Install Multigba S on BlueStacks

Using the search bar at the top, type "Multigba S". If the app does not appear, click "Search with Google Play Store".

Once the Google Play Store loads, sign in and search for the emulator.

Step 4 - Download the game

Once finished, navigate to the Home Screen by clicking the "Home" button. This button can be found on the bottom-right corner of the BlueStacks window. From there, click "System Apps", and then click "Media Manager".

Because the default Media Manager sucks, it only exists as a means to our end. Once in the Media Manager, click "Import From Windows" and add the files you downloaded. That's about as much as we can stomach of this app.

Once finished, go back to the Home Screen and open the Google Play Store. Search for "Files by Google" (a competent file manager) and install it.

Once installed, open the app and allow it to access your files.
From there, scroll down and click "Internal storage", then navigate to DCIM --> SharedFolder.

Click and hold any files that end with .gba, click the 3-dot menu on the top-right, and select "Move to".
From there, click "Internal storage", click "Download", then click "Move here".

Step 5 - Set up Multigba S

Once installed, open Multigba S. You can optionally log into your Google Account through this app, which makes inviting friends a lot easier.

Click the monkey wrench icon at the top-right hand corner of the screen. Once there, set up your controller mapping, whether on-screen buttons appear, the display orientation, etc. Be sure to disable "Start auto search if Select Game list is empty", as this auto-search dialogue box is buggy.

Once you've done this, you should be ready to play the game.

Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Yujo Tag Battle 2

Publisher: Bandai
Developer: 8ing (Eighting)
Release Date: March 24, 2005
Game Engine: RenderWare 3.7 (PS2, GC)

A 3D fighting game for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube. This is the sequel to Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Yujo Tag Battle, known as Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Yujo Tag Battle Full Power on the GameCube.

While this game is mistakenly attributed as the "Japanese version of Zatch Bell: Mamodo Battles", the two games differ on a large enough scale to be considered separate games entirely.

Controls:

Combo - B
Partner Combo - Forward + B
Spell - A (Direction + Spell changes the spell, some spells change in the air)
Fly / Jumping Spell - Up + B
Aerial Attack - B (While flying)
Dodge - Up or Down (When a spell is about to hit you)
Counterattack - Dodge + Y (Removes 1/4 Max Spell Meter)
Block - X (Can be used to cancel run and backdash)
Spell Shield - X (When a spell is about to hit you)
Charge Meter - L
Ultimate Attack - L + A (When Max Spell Meter is full)

Differences between Yujo Tag Battle 2 and Mamodo Battles

Game Content:

1. Mamodo Battles does not have Maestro as a playable character.
2. Mamodo Battles does not have Ponygon / Sunbeam as a playable character.
3. Yujo Tag Battle 2 does not have Bari as a playable character.
4. Yujo Tag Battle 2 does not have Ponygon (solo) as a playable character.
5. The story mode for both games follow the same point in the series, but the contents of the story modes are different. Additionally, Mamodo Battles lets you select character stories from a menu, while Yujo Tag Battle 2 requires you to complete certain conditions during the story mode to "switch" to other characters.
6. The CPU AI is very different in Mamodo Battles, compared to Yujo Tag Battle 2.

Gameplay Differences:

1. Yujo Tag Battle 2 meter system: Very slow automatic heart energy recovery, holding the "Charge" button will recover it faster, while slowly increasing your maximum heart energy. Partner attack costs heart energy but will greatly increase your maximum heart energy on hit.
2. Mamodo Battles meter system: No automatic heart energy recovery, no "Charge" button. Physical attacks (including spells that are treated as physical attacks) increase heart energy and maximum heart energy. "Parry" (described below) increases greatly increases heart energy and maximum heart energy. Partner attack increases heart energy and maximum heart energy both on hit, and no longer costs heart energy to use.
3. Parry System - A system that does not exist in Yujo Tag Battle 2, but it exists in Mamodo Battles. If you press the block button somewhat close to when a physical attack will hit you, your opponent will be put into a long stagger animation and you will gain a lot of heart energy and maximum heart energy.

Note: The only time the stagger animation does not apply is when the opponent is unable to be staggered, such as when Zatch is using Rauzaruk.

4. "Close Range" Counterattack - A system that does not exist in Yujo Tag Battle 2, but it exists in Mamodo Battles. If you press Forward + Counterattack, you will counter a spell with a close range attack.
5. "Long Range" Counterattack - Exists in both games, but it is executed differently. In Yujo Tag Battle 2, this is triggered by pressing Up or Down along with the counterattack button, close to when a spell will hit you. In Mamodo Battles, you press Backward + Counterattack with the same timing, and the direction is randomized.
6. Zagurzem - Zatch and Zeno have a spell in Yujo Tag Battle 2 called "Zagurzem", executed by pressing Up + Spell. In Mamodo Battles, this input was changed to a 360 motion + Spell.
7. Miberna Ma Migron - In Mamodo Battles, the cost for this spell was increased. In Mamodo Battles, "Fire" had its priority and damage reduced.
8. Powered Up Characters - In Mamodo Battles, the localization team decided to spoil the end of the series, and give every character a golden "Powered Up" form, which greatly speeds up every character and makes them stronger.

When converting models, I always have used the PS2 files, as those are the ones I've had the best luck with. The syntax for the RW DFF Model Converter is convdff.exe -u -v 3302 input.dff output.dff to convert a PS2 DFF into an uninstanced 3.30.2 DFF file. Uninstanced means it can work with any console (GC, PS2, and Xbox) within the
RenderWare library, and is required if you want to open the models in Blender.

Some already uninstanced models can be found here, for reference.

Most of the time this command will work, though there are examples of models in YTB2 that will give you trouble. Here are a few examples from Zatch's model file:

The difference between Laila and Victoream is that Laila on paper is great, but in practice is terrible. You have to read an opponent to the point of AI button reading (which it certainly does) to make her work well. When you put a human in that situation, she can be somewhat competent if you're great at reads, but not enough to make her relevant to the high tiers, let alone mid-to-high tiers.

On the other hand, Victoream is suuuuuuper scary when a human player knows his cheesy exploits (frame data on neutral spell, the right situation to detach, the right situation to do an early super with his meter gimmick), and the CPU AIs just don't exploit his toolkit as effectively.

The biggest problem with Wonrei is that he doesn't have an answer to spells. While spells aren't the end-all be-all of YTB2, they certainly play a bigger role than in MB. Part of the balancing on spells comes from other characters' abilities to respond to them without spell shield or counterattack, but with Wonrei those are about his only options.

Kanchome is great. He requires reads like Laila but reaps way greater benefits from them along with having a more complete moveset. He also can really throw people off with his dash. Is he going to dash attack (response would be to block) or is he going to command grab / up spell (response would be to back-dash)? I feel the developers really personified Kanchome well in YTB2 while also retaining a good balance with his toolkit.

This is the current tier list for Yujo Tag Battle 2's meta. The matchup chart isn't up-to-date (for example, it uses old numbers for Victoream) and is extremely untested in many ways. Over time the matchup chart will change, and tiers might also change accordingly.

Any testing that's done should be documented in this thread. Anything is acceptable from explanations to images to videos to... really anything.
