How to unlock hidden characters.

Post by bossbass » Sat Nov 05, 2005 07:39

I have an Atomiswave with Battle Collisium here at home. I've left the damn thing running for over a week and haven't unlocked any characters. Does anyone know the exact specifics of the time it takes to unlock characters, from Mars People to the Bosses? I can view two different things - time the game has been on in total and time game has been played. Which matters?

Probably total time on, if its time played, I don't think most arcades would unlock so unanimously.

It takes longer than weeks. AFAIK, mars and athena came along only like 2-3 weeks after NGBC arrived at Singapore.

Pretty sure here it was 3/4 weeks for Mars/Athena The bosses unlocked once every 3 weeks after that. There may be unlock codes like Neowave, but I doubt they will be supplied any time soon.

I think Mizuchi should be unlocked at where I'm playing. How do I access him and the other bosses?

For Mizuchi, simply press left when on Kyo, or right when on Iori in Character Select screen. I seem to remember reading that Neo Deo gets selected by choosing Mizuchi and pressing down... But we dont have anything past Mizuchi yet so i could be wrong.
Dunno bout the other two

The NGBC machine in my place has been up for little over 2 months, and Mizuchi and Shishioh are playable. I haven't been playing for 2 weeks now, so I don't know if Neo DIO is unlocked yet.

I dont understan something. So the atomiswave has to be always turned ON all that time, i mean 2,3 months?

I'm sure you can turn it off at night, but since in the arcades they're on for most of the day, I'm guessing you'll have to leave it on that long as well.

It would have to be that amount of ON time, not just time since it was first fired up. Which means if it's turned off at night, will take twice as long.

Our arcade only has their machines on from bout 11am - 9pm, so we only unlocked King Lion bout 2 weeks ago.

I think that not depends of how long the machine its turned ON i think that the atomiswave take a record of the amount of the coins so after many coins the characters unlock. Im not saying the truth its only what i think.

Nope, the arcade that I play in is pretty unpopular, but has both bosses unlocked, that's why I get to do all my testing there.

Got a copy of NGBC recently...

If I'm not wrong, the criteria for unlocking characters are as follows:

Athena: Play and complete Arcade Mode
Mars People: Play and complete Tag Mode

Bosses: Beat them in Survival Challenge
