I may sound like an idiot saying this, but do you have to have a Japanese PS2 to play this. If so then how much would it, and the game cost?(list prices seperately, and in American currency please! :D )

At most, yes, but you can mod your PS2 in order to play the game (as well as other imports). I don't much about modding nor do I want to. the game's price is $64.90 at Play-Asia.com for both the Gamecube & PS2 (seperate shipping). Overall, if you have a Gamecube, I'd highly reccomend getting that version along with theFreeloader for $80.80. I know it's a bit pricey, but it's the better investment especially if you plan on getting future imports for the Gamecube.

I use a swap magic to play ps2 imports. It can be a bit of a hassle to work so I force myself to play long sessions to get the most out of them.

I heard Swap Magic wasn't exactly reliable, but it's definitely another alternative.

I've had no problems with Swap Magic so far. I'd reccomend it.

As has been discussed multiple times, you don't need a Japanese Gamecube... you only need the Freeloader disc to boot up Japanese games on any ol' Gamecube. It's notoriously easy to play JP games on a US system. PS2 is where the trouble can be found.

And please remember to capitalize your "I"s.

Really? *Does a Google search* Wow, your right. I tought the only way to play Japanese games on a EU/US Gamecube was to modify the GC (Wich i dont want to do). Thanks for telling me about FreeLoader. :)

NICE! With Luffy, if you jump and press down+b (gamecube controls); you can jungle the person in the air as you bring yourself higher to pull off a sweet combo with up+Y and then when you both land (pressing down to land quicker), down+b to bounce em off the ground a little, then do his super special.

I know I'm a little late on this but I really need some mission translations. I believe I asked for some earlier, but I didn't get help, nor some of the things were helpful.

I usually just use the regular attack and don't jump and don't dash and don't guard the whole time. That usually allows me to pass a lot of the mission. The ones with 50 or 100, that is how many times you have to jump. Simple, jump for a while and then win. I usually end up with 200 jumps.

Or you can use this.....

The 3rd to last one should be just KO the opponent.

I got my copy of the game today along with a copy of "Freeloader". It's a good game! I really like how you the energy bar is and the opening and ending is just superb! Dont like the stupid slots tough (But then again, who does?). Even if it would have been unorginal I would have prefered if they copied the character/world unlocking method from Smash Brothers. While the slots is a pain in the ass it's still a good game. My favorite character is Sasuke, he seems to have very balanced stats.
