So, I want to unlock Dark/Devil Gundam in Battle Assault 2.
To first do that, I need to play VS against a computer 20 times, each with a different character. That's easy.
...Wait, the game only starts you with 12 characters. Alright, on to Story mode to unlock more!
Defeating it with RX-78 nets me Acguy and Ball, Burning/God gets me GP0-2A, and Maxter nets me Bolt for VS. Nice, only 4 more to go. Deathscythe Hell gets me Heavy Arms C, and Wing gets me the Hygoog. Sweet, got 6, only 2 left!
...Oh, I'm out of characters for Story? Wait, if I play on Hard, I unlock more characters for Story! Alrighty!
Winning with Burning on Hard unlocks Master for Story, RX-78 on Hard unlocks Zaku IIS for story, and with Deathscythe H and Wing on Hard gets me the Tallgeese III for story!
...Now what?
Oh, win with them on Hard now, too? Oh...Okay...
Well, Zaku IIS unlocked himself and Zeong for Versus Mode. Awesome! Now I just need to fight the computer in Versus 20 times with everyone!
...Oh, now I need to beat Story one more time to unlock Dark? Fine...

And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm currently working on the "Tallgeese III for Story" part. I hate the lengths some fighting games had you going just to unlock characters 10 years ago. Kills my fun by having me grinding on the hardest difficulty just to get one or two characters...I know why they did it, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
