This game follows a good/bad ending pattern , meaning you wil either get the bad ending in the form of subtext with sad / morbid soundtrack , or get the good ending which translates to your character's actual ending
The type of ending you will get depends on which final boss you end up beating : this could be either Ryuji Yamazaki or the Jin brothers : Chonshu and Chonrei , now before getting to the procedure on how unlock the good ending , there are 2 things you must keep in mind :
First , the key to the procedure lies in your Battle Rating which (depdending on your performance in every round) ranges from E to S , also the A rating has 2 advanced variants : AA and AAA ,these ratings serve to evaluate your performance in every fight and several factors are used to determine the ratings : the remaining time , amount of damage taken , types of moves used and who dominated more in the fight
And secondly the ending of arcade mode could be 1 out of 4 different Scenarios :
Scenario 1 : Reach Yamazaki and get the bad ending
Scenario 2 : Reach Chonshu and get the bad ending (Lake Stage)
Scenario 3 : Reach Chonshu and get the good ending (Jungle Stage)
Scenario 4 : Reach Chonshu , followed by Chonrei and get the good ending (Inferno Stage)
Now let's get to the procedure :
How to reach Chonshu :
Maintain a High average of victory ratings throughout the entire game (try your best to avoid the bottom ratings like D or E as often as possible)
How to reach Chonrei :
Ammass the highest victory ratings possible throughout the game (have as much ratings of A or higher as possible and once again avoid the bottom ratings) and also fight your way up to Chonshu without any Continues
With all these conditions achieved , you will get to fight the Jin brothers and unlock the good ending
.
This game follows the good/bad ending pattern , meaning you will either get the bad ending in the form of a subtext with ominous music or you will get your character's actual ending (aka "good ending") depending on how you play throughout the game , it will end in of 4 different scenarios :
Scenario 1 : fight Yamazaki as the last boss (bad ending)
Scenario 2 : reach Chonshu and get the bad ending
Scenario 3 : reach Chonshu and get the good ending
Scenario 4 : reach Chonshu , followed by Chonrei and get the good ending
Now in order to reach the Jin brothers , you must understand that your performance will be the deciding factor to make that happen , with every round you win you get a ranking which serves to evaluate your performance (go check out the rankings hint I made in Garou : Mark of the wolves) they range from E to S (A ranking has 2 higher versions : AA and AAA) several factors are concerned with the ranking : who dominated the fight the most , how much time remains , the type of moves used , etc
Now let's start with Chonshu :
You must achieve multiple top rankings (AAA or S) and as few low rankings as possible (C , D and E)
Have as a few losses as possible
(If you do the opposite and have a terrible game run then the game will end with Yamazaki and the bad ending)
Now moving on to Chonrei
Achieve multiple top rankings and never achieve a D
Fight your way up to Chonshu with no continues
And finally , there is one more crucial / important detail to keep in mind , when you reach Chonshu : the stage where you will fight him will be an indicator on which Scenario will occur because chonshu's stage has 3 different variants
Lake variant : Scenario 2
Jungle variant : Scenario 3
Infero variant : Sceanrio 4 (Chonrei incoming)
PS : like I said if you want to know more about the victory rankings check out the hint in Garou : Mark of the wolves page.
In 'Versus' mode select both fighters and hold B + C on both controllers through the 'Now Loading' screen until the match begins (this has to be done before each fight).
