To unlock Sion's sensei, Wong you must play through the game as any character. When you come up to the battle against Kaldea (the battle right before the final fight), have any character other than Sion fight her. Then, use Sion to complete the game. During the end sequence, right before Dominique comes to visit Sion while he is working the door of the bar, you will view a flashback sequence where Sion will do battle with his master, Wong. Wong fights similar to both Sion and Dauragon. He uses the same two-fisted attack as Dauragon (where he can hit an opponent both in front of him, and behind him), as well as leg sweeps similar to Sion. You can use normal attacks against him, but one special move in particular works very well. Block attacks from Wong, and while he is recovering from one press the ES+MEDUIM buttons (whatever you have them assigned to) to perform the Torpedo Kick move, which will take off a bit of damage and knock Wong off his feet. Turn that into a pattern: Block, Torpedo Kick, Block, Torpedo Kick, etc. to defeat Wong, who you can then use in the Versus mode.
Unlock Leann CaldwellWhen you play through the game you will notice Kou talking on the phone to someone. If you play through as Kou, you will hear this person talking and learn that she is actually someone else, who just looks like Kou. Her name is actually Leann. You can play as Leann by playing through the entire game as Kou (which means, you cannot switch to any other character at any time during the game). During the end sequence, Kou will encounter Leann in the Central Square area and do battle with her. The best way to defeat her is to block her attacks and use the Circular Uppercut (ES+MEDIUM buttons) move to juggle her into the air.
Unlock Topless DuragonComplete the game three times using any character. After defeating Duragon for the second time, he will get up again and fight topless. Defeat him to unlock Topless Duragon in versus mode. Unlock Kou with MSF costume Play through story mode with any character. When you come to it, use Kou to infiltrate the Mikado Building. The MSF costume for Kou will now be unlocked in survival and versus modes.
Unlock Sion with black hood costumeComplete survival mode by defeating the black-hooded version of Sion to unlock that costume in survival and versus modes.
| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
When playing as Kou, you reach the part where you fight the big green robot and two big yellow robots. If a Trinity Rush is done, then Kou will instead do an arm-break move in place of a neck-break move.
Kou: Phone conversationTake Kou on the first battle against MSFs at Fate. When Kou calls Leann, you will hear what she says to Kou.
Kou: CombosTriple Roundhouse Kick: Press Triangle(3).
Triple Jab: Press Triangle(3).
Slider: Press Right, Left, Down, or Up then quickly press X.
During the Emergency Exit level, if you are low on life or do not think you will live through the guards, you can run past them and still escape.
Cactuar pictureWhen you are looking for the card key on the MSD cargo train, pick Volt. Do not find the card key and get trapped. Pause game play once Volt's back appears. He will have a picture of a Cactuar from Final Fantasy 10 that reads "NO ESCAPE!". Note: This also works with Sion, but you will see a different picture.
Save health in Rocket TowerDuring the Rocket Tower sequence, if you are low on life or do not think you can survive all the way through, just run past the robots or guards. You can still win the level, just without all the battle points.
Easy experienceDuring in any battle, look at the top right of your screen. When one of the bubbles that represents an enemy is colored red, go to that person and quickly kill them. You will get the experience while your partner(s) did all the work.
Team sacrificesDo not worry if any of your CPU controlled partners gets defeated. As long as you are still standing, they will return for the next battle.
Team attackImmediately press R2 whenever you hear one of your teammates make a taunt. Most of the time everyone will all team up against an enemy. This move will mostly always be blocked by the final Boss.
Card keyTo get the card key, open all three boxes. There is one lunch box on either side on the seats. Just walk up to it to open it and move on quickly to the next one. The third box in a briefcase in the back of the train, the key will be inside.
Character attributesSion is the fastest of the three, but with no super moves he is also the weakest. Volt is the strongest and is also slow. Super moves should be performed only in an open area since almost all of them are throws. Kou is balanced. He is faster than Volt and stronger than Sion. When he gets Tiger Frenzy and Raging Tiger, he is unstoppable.
Sion: Juggling attackUse the Double Uppercut to launch your opponent, then use the Hard Jump attack to finish. This requires very good timing for the hard jump. Note: This does not work on robotic opponents.
