How to Play
GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to its Instruction Manual. Ensure the MAIN POWER switch (located in the back of the console) is turned on.

Press the OPEN button again to close the disc tray. Attach game controllers and other peripherals as appropriate. Follow on-screen instructions and refer to this manual for information on using the software.

MEMORY CARDS
To save game settings and progress, insert a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 or MEMORY CARD slot 2 of your PlayStation®2.
You can load saved game data from the same card, or any memory card containing previously saved PRIDE FCTM games. For more information, see SAVE & LOAD DATA on page 15.
GRAND PRIX
Grand Prix is the ultimate PRIDE FC™ test of skill and endurance, a 16-man single-elimination tournament. Your Vitality Gauge does not completely refill between fights. If you take a beating in an early round, later rounds will be tougher.
When you choose Grand Prix from the Main Menu, you have three different options:
•
Single Player Mode (1P vs. 15 COM opponents)
•
Multiplayer Mode (1-16 human players; all other fighters are COM)
•
Spectator Mode (all COM fighters)
Choose the human players' fighters with the button while at the tournament screen. Once all human players are chosen, you can either designate which fighters will make up the remaining entries, or choose Decision to randomly assign fighters to any empty slots. The brackets in the middle of the screen represent the rounds of the tournament.
Rule Settings
Once all 16 fighters are chosen, select Decision to set the rules for the tournament:
•
Round 1-5: These five fields allow you to determine the length of Rounds 1 through 5 of each fight, in minutes. You can choose NONE for a round if you want each fight to last fewer than five rounds.
•
Extra Rounds: Length of any extra round past Round 5, in minutes. You can choose NONE if you want each fight to stop at five rounds.
•
Indicator: Choose if you want the round clock to appear on the screen (ALWAYS ON) or only appear when the round is nearly over (FLASH).
•
Vitality Gauge: Show (BAR) or hide (NONE) each fighter's Vitality Gauge.
•
Initial Settings: Return the settings to their original settings.
•
Decision: Start the Grand Prix with the rules you have chosen.
ONE MATCH
The One Match mode is a single fight against any opponent. It's a perfect way to hone your in-ring skills before taking on all comers in the Grand Prix.
You can choose to have a fight between two human players (Player 1 vs. Player 2), either human player against the COM (Player 1 vs. COM or COM vs. Player 2), or watch two COM opponents duke it out (COM vs. COM).
After deciding which fighters will be controlled by human or COM players, select the two fighters and adjust the rule settings. The rule settings for One Match mode are identical to those for Grand Prix, with two additional options: Handicap P1 and Handicap P2.
Setting Handicap to 100% means the fighter starts with a normal amount of stamina in their Vitality Gauge. Setting them higher (to a maximum of 150%) gives that fighter more stamina, and setting them lower (to a minimum of 50%) gives that fighter less stamina.
SURVIVAL
Survival mode takes you through a gauntlet of all 25 PRIDE fighters. Like the Grand Prix, you only recover about half of your lost stamina and life between fights. Unlike Grand Prix, you face a fresh opponent in each fight.
You earn points for each match you win, based on your fighting technique and the number of matches you've won so far. Your journey ends when you beat all 25 fighters or when you finally lose. If your point total is high enough, you are ranked among the Top Ten Fighting Legends on the ranking screen shown before beginning Survival mode.
CREATE A FIGHTER
The Create a Fighter mode in PRIDE FC™ allows you to build your own custom mixed martial arts fighter and put him up against the best PRIDE fighters in the world.
After selecting Create a Fighter from the Main Menu, choose Create to design a fighter from scratch, Load to modify a saved fighter you previously created, or Delete to remove a created fighter from your memory card.
When creating a fighter, press the START button at any time to save him to your memory card.
Information
The Information section of the Create a Fighter mode lets you determine your fighter's background and personal information:
•
Name: Your fighter's name.
•
Short Name: Shown under the fighter's Vitality Gauge.
•
Nickname: Your fighter's nickname.
•
Discipline: The fighting style your fighter practices.
•
Height & Weight: Shown here, but selected in the Appearance section.
•
Birthplace: Choose your fighter's birthplace from a list of 40 countries.
