Battle Masters Mk.2

[OshareKeiji]

all I'm doing is grinding my Murmeltier lol

I don't know how to get into F1 so im WAY WAY WAY behind in the story and all, I've been grinding Arnval abit cause I heard its the only way to get into F1 apparently? she goes berserk and Mao Chao explodes?

also the other competitions within the shopping district, do they play a part in getting acquirements for F1?

Figured you'd get her. Looked at everyone's pic threads while I was waiting for my initial posts to get okayed.

Yes, the Official Battles in the Shinki Center play a big part in unlocking F Battle Qualifiers. The ones that are most important are the weapon type/property restricted competitions.

Arnval isn't required for the story to progress. The Lime tragedy leading to the Valhalla Incident will open up once you've entered and won all F1 qualifiers.

The Mimic's function isn't to imitate your Shinki. It's an incomplete Shinki simulacrum designed to gather data from real-time battling. There's someone out there who wants the data for shady purposes. You'll see who as the story progresses.

Yes, Mimic is also unlockable. But you have to fight one first in the clear game part before you can use them. They have no base equipment, exclusive rail or preferred weapon though.

Just because they're featured in-game doesn't mean you'll be able to unlock Proxima and Maryceles. They were DLC in Battle Masters 1 and that's not gonna change for this one. The appearances of prior DLC Shinki were enacted by Konami not only to increase the rival roster, they're also a sales pitch of sorts.

so proxima, maryceles, sharatang, babyrazz, renge, and gabriene are only for download? i thought for sure they would be in the game since they advertised them with the game, and what do you meen by i have to fight a mimic in a clear game? don't all battles count?

star, why don't you stop asking and just play the game and discover stuff by yourself? You're ruining the experience
I got by with minimal knowledge of kana and still enjoyed the game.

If I remember correctly, that ad said "DLC Shinki and items can be used in the game upon release of Catalogue 0" where they were featured. That was before Konami opted for a version patch and PS Store re-release.

It's not the battles counting that's the problem here, it's the story canon. When you're going through it for the first time, it's just not possible to use Justice nor get a Mimic.

Those rules can only be broken on Clear Game.

@star: Reminds me of the despair I felt once I found out that Artille and Raptias were not unlockable by default lol

Anyway, I'm impressed how most of you guys manage to progress without the need of reading any text - I can read Japanese and, at some point, I still wished they had put markers in front of the official tournaments/cups you need to finish in order to advance in the game. >.<

@Keiji: This might be a little abrupt, but can I have a few words with you in private? If you don't mind and have a tiny bit of time to spare, please drop me a note: bobbe_5@hotmail.com
Thanks! m(__)m

then i shall attempt to get a japanese playstation store account, and maybe i'll fix my american account while im at it
@Shiaoran: i dont speak the language at all, i just find the story very enjoyable and it makes me very curious as to what is happening

[Shiaoran]

Same here, I could only presume stuff based on the Shinkis' reactions and rely on my knowledge of anime/japanese game cliches to TRY to understand the story vaguely. I'm still "Whathafrakinhellwasthatshit?!?!" about the ending though XD If Keiji wouldn't mind explaining what goes on (HIGHLIGHT FOR SPOILERS)in the facility you wake up on and finish the story(END OF SPOILERS), I'd like very much to know what happens.
But I still didn't go asking what was unlocked when or why X was X until I finished the game

Ok I've been doing the Melee only and Gun only competitions which there was 5 of each

what are the others I have to do? I know theres Shinki restricted Competitions but the main ones I want to do are mostly the ones that get me into the F-1 League
been using Murmeltier ever since, Love 15 atm(got a long way to go cause the Alastore Armour being released in 2 days is only for Rank 7s)

is there a list of what competitions what and such? and whats restricted?

for example this O.P.F.R or something, whats this one about?

[Shikaze]

OPF, for what I seem to understand, is a Proxima and Mary Celes only tournament.

Okie dokie after completion of the 5 gunning and melee tourney, the F1 qualifier for the gunning one appeared but not the melee one, is there anything else I'm suppose to do?
