Hidden Special Moves in Inazuma Eleven 3: the Japanese bug special move and the skills that change a player's element

Have you ever wanted to dig into the Inazuma Eleven games to find data that was never put inside them? That's basically what I've done.

In this article I'll tell you about two things:

• A hidden Japanese dribbling special move that consumes 15 TP and has no element.
• Some hidden skills that change the player's element (fire, wind, earth and wood) and how to add them with Cheat Engine.

The hidden Japanese dribbling special move: 15 TP and no element

It turns out that, using Cheat Engine (a tool that lets you level up players and so on), I decided to max out all the special moves: I located one and, starting from that one, set each of the others to 99. To my surprise, I found a Japanese dribbling special move that consumes 15 TP and has no element. Unfortunately, when the special move is performed the animation is skipped, so you can't see anything. This is probably because the special move must have been discarded before its animation was made. In fact, you can also get it by using the usual cheat to get all the special moves in the game.

^{*Note: This special move is also achieved using the cheat to set all special moves to x99 on 3DS}

Hidden skills that change the player's element

But that's not all: yesterday Araro posted new hidden special moves in the game on his Twitter. This time they are skills that change the player's element. You already know what the elements in Inazuma Eleven are, but just in case, here's a reminder: fire, wind, earth and wood. Next I'm going to show you how to learn these skills, since I researched them and got the codes for those special moves.

Step 1: locate the player's special moves with Cheat Engine

What you need to do is locate the player's special moves. How? Very easy. You have to search for the player's experience in Cheat Engine (if you've never used it, here I explain how to train players in Inazuma Eleven 3 with Cheat Engine). In my case I was lucky because only a few results came up and you can spot it by eye, but if you get a lot of results, what you have to do is enter the experience, play a Battle and enter the new experience again by clicking Next Scan.

If you have a level 99 player, you can use the method in the video below, which was also discovered thanks to Araro. You could also do the same as I did, but using a lower-level player placed after the player you want to give the special move to, although put into words it's more complicated than Araro's method (even though it actually takes less time).

Step 2: add the skill code in the hex editor

Right, once the player's experience is located, press CTRL + B and a new window will open. The first thing to do there is find the player's level in hexadecimal (in this case 20 is 14 in hexadecimal; just divide the number by 16 and also note the remainder). After that we move on to adding the special move: what's in the red box are the player's special moves (each special move takes up 2 slots and there are 12 in total, so 6 special moves can be learned), while what's in blue is the player's level.

Well, what you have to do is add the skill code in the last 4 slots of the red box (you can also add it in the others, but then you'll replace the previous special move with the new one). Here are the codes:

• Wind: add 4E 00
• Wood: add 4F 00
• Fire: add 50 00
• Earth: add 51 00

Result: the player changes element (and they combine in doubles and triples)

That's it, the player will have learned two skills, which make their element change.

And the truth is that both work: here you can see that when combined with a player of one of those elements, they combine into “doubles” and “triples”

Names of the hidden skills translated into English

It's very curious that these hidden skills work, since they don't even appear in the option to add them with cheats. What's more, if we go into Cheat Engine itself and look up the descriptions of these special moves, we realize that the names of the special moves translated into English also appear, being:

• Wind: “Like the wind!”
• Wood: “Up a tree!”
• Fire: “On fire!”
• Earth: “Down to earth!”
