Battling Scanned MonstersIf you scan a Battle Scan Monster or a GrudgeMatch Monster while you have at least threeactive monsters of your own, an "alarm" willsound and you will need to battle the intrudingmonsters. These guys are tricky. Once you scana battle-hungry monster into your controller, ituses its limited power to summon two othermonsters from nearby UPC codes to fight alongside it. So be careful!Secret Flux Hint: Before the battle begins, youwill be given the choice to either fight or runaway. If you only have a few monsters or most ofthem are weak, you may want to run away so youcan fight again another day! Don’t forget if youdon’t battle your monsters they won’t getstronger.New Battle Strategy!After you've assembled your team, the controllerwill show you the battlefield. The monsters willeach be represented by their class symbol (Tech,Power, or Magic as mentioned before).Use the Directional Pad to move left and right tohighlight the monster you wish to send into battlefirst. When the correct monster is highlighted,press the On - A Button to make the selection.Secret Flux Hint: When your chosen monster's"stats" appear (showing it's hit points), rememberthat monster's number is in the top corner. Whenit's time to fight, you'll need that number to delivera special "Combo Move"!Just before and as you battle, you will see ascreen with your opponent's strength, yourstrength, and a timer. As the timer counts, it's upto you to press the On - A Button at the righttime. If you hit the On - A Button on yourmonster's number, you will give it a "ComboMove" during his attack. If you hit the On - AButton on your opponent's monster's number,you will give your monster a "Mega Block" duringtheir attack. There are also many othercombinations, some of which let you use items orchoose attacks. Be sure to get a "hit" or a "miss,"or even get back some lost Hit Points! Check outthe skannerz.com website for battle moves.In Skannerz Commander there are higher risks.If you loose a monster it will be taken from yourteam.

So choose your item wisely andkeep your item bar codes.Secret Flux Hint: Sometimes you get anunlabeled potion as an item. Be VERY carefulbefore you let your monster drink it. Sometimesit's good, but sometimes it's poison!Battling A Friend's Collection Of MonstersFrom the main menu, both you and your friendchoose the "V.S." feature and place yourcontrollers against each other, connecting thetabs and slots at the top, making sure they snaptogether.This is just like battling monsters from randomUPC codes.
