A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games, including games played on the PlayStation 2 console, may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. [. . . ] Learn the following rules to improve your game.

[. . . ] Weapon Gauge Yellow Guard can shield an attack, but it also cancels your Close Range Attack. When the enemy strikes first, it is a good idea to put your Guard up. Guard Reversal Once you block-off an enemy attack with your Guard, be ready to strike a counter attack by using After Guard W or R button. Guard Reversal is not the most powerful attack a VR has, but it is lightning fast attack compared to other Close Range Attacks. 34 35 CREDITS The following credits list the staff responsible for the localization, marketing, and manual for the US version of Virtual-On Marz.
