Grabbed this off a FAQ, and have tested it!



[ CHALLENGER BATTLE (STAGE 4) ] ---------------------------------------

Mars People (or Zero) will be your opponent if:

- You didn't lose any rounds for stages 1-3.
- You didn't win any rounds by "Time Out."
- You won 3 rounds using an Exceed (block damage is OK).

Geese Howard or Demitri will be your opponent if:

- You didn't lose any rounds for stages 1-3.
- You didn't win any rounds by "Time Out."
- You won 1 round using an Exceed (block damage is OK).

Goenitz or Dan Hibiki will be your opponent if:

- The above conditions weren't met.


[ MID-BOSS BATTLE (STAGE 7) ] -----------------------------------------

- If your sixth opponent was an SNK character, you'll go on to
fight "Riot of Blood" Iori and "Honki ni natta Mr. Karate.

- If your sixth opponent was a Capcom character, you'll go on
to fight Violent Ken and Shin Gouki.


You can fight Athena for your ninth opponent if:

- You don't lose any rounds for stages 1 thru 7.
- You don't win any round via block damage
(this is when you hit an opponent with a special move or S^ move,
and they block it but still take a little bit of damage as a result).

You can fight Red Arremer for your ninth opponent if:

- You don't lose any rounds for stages 1 thru 7.
- You win at least 5 rounds with a special move (winning by block
damage is okay).

Otherwise, the game ends after the 8th stage. Obviously, you can do
whatever you like during the eighth stage and it won't affect the chance
of meeting Athena or Red Arrmer.

If you do lose a round during stages 1 thru 7, just lose completely
and continue, and you can still meet the Secret Bosses (since the key
is to not lose any _rounds_. It doesn't matter if you lose the whole
battle and continue).

Finally the number of continues and current game time have nothing to
do with fighting these characters.

Thanks for that.

Now I know that losing against Shin Gouki or Shin Karate doesn't matter.

What level does this have to be on because I just tried it on easy and it doesn't work.

I thought it worked on all levels.

Anyway, I always played this game on either level 4 or level 8.

It works on all levels, and I tested each one myself, and all these methods work. Remember: Supers will be void if you defeat them with a guard crush (tick damage kill).

I tried the Red Arremer one but it doesn't work.

I didn't lose a single round during stage 1-7, finish off opponent by special move (noted by 'S') more than 5 times, but I ended up meeting Athena.

Any clue?

Thanks!

And by Special Move, you mean one noted as an 'S' or 'S+'?

i think both are ok

I just don't understand for red arremer... i've fighted him once, before i read this faq. And now, respecting all conditions, i can't see him. May be there's something to do with the block damage, do you need to use a special move or SDM?

i'me coming crazy with this....arggggh!
