A new player looking for help

[Jask]

I figured since I'm here, I might as well try getting into the Armored Core games. A friend is lending me Formula Front for the PSP, but he didn't have the manual. This is my first AC game ever.

So in short, I have no idea what I'm doing or what half the terms mean. Could any of you be so kind as to give me some tips, advice for a beginner, explain some of the terminology and lingo... If there's anything you need to know from me to give better advice, just let me know.

I'll probably want to mostly go for my usual play style, which is fast and agile movement and fast hits.

Much appreciated.
