You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.88.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:27, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Despite being exclusive to Japan, ''Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S'' garnered negative reception from critics who reviewed it as an [[Parallel importing in video games|import title]] since its release and although it was commended for the presentation, the animation and controls were heavily criticized.

As with the previously released ''Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jōgai Rantō!? Shuyaku Sōdatsusen'' on [[Super Famicom]], ''Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S'' is a fighting game similar to ''[[Street Fighter II: The World Warrior]]'' in which the player fights against other opponents in one-on-one matches and the fighter who manages to deplete the [[health bar]] of the opponent wins the first bout and the first to win two bouts becomes the winner of the match.<ref name="NGenpssms"/><ref name="PSSMS3DOmanual">''Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S'' manual (3DO Interactive Multiplayer, JP)</ref><ref name="PSSMShg101a">((cite web|last=Derboo|first=Sam|url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/inventories/arcades2.htm|title=Inventories: Arcades in Video Games (Page 2) - Fighting game stages|publisher=Hardcore Gaming 101|date=9 May 2015|access-date=2019-10-20))</ref> Each round is timed, which can be adjusted or deactivated at the options menu screen and if both fighters still have health remaining when time is over, the one with more health wins that round.

In the single-player mode, players can choose from nine playable Sailor Soldiers and fight against computer-controlled fighters across several locations from the series, although [[Sailor Saturn]] is not present in this title.<ref name="PSSMS3DOmanual"/><ref name="PSSMShg101a"/> Each Soldier has a set of special attacks, as well as their own special moves that can be performed by inputting a combination of directional and button-based commands.<ref name="PSSMS3DOmanual"/> Similar to the ''Samurai Shodown'' [[List of video game franchises|franchise]], the camera zooms in or out to maximize or minimize the level of graphical detail depending on character movement.<ref name="NGenpssms"/>
