Fighting Shin Akuma...

[Allo]

Hi there,

What are the requirements to fight Shin Akuma (Dreamcast version)? For some stupid reason, everytime I satisfy the criteria (1500 GP points, Finest KO, beat middle boss), I ALWAYS fight God Rugal. This has happened 4 out of 4 times that I have tried, and I don't know why I can't fight Shin Akuma.

I've tried using SNK characters, I've tried using the S, N and K grooves and different team combinations, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Is Shin Akuma actually in the Dreamcast version? If so, how the hell do you fight him?

It's random. I've fought both S. Akuma & G. Rugal w/ the same groove and same team several times. Keep trying and eventually you get them.

I think for Rugal you need a Capcom guy as your first, and Akuma/Gouki you need an SNK char as your first. I always fight S.Akuma when I choose K-All SNK team...

I read somewhere that for Shin Akuma, you need 800 to 1199 groove points, and at 1200 or above, you fight either Shin Akuma or God Rugal--and that which one you get depends on which groove you select. I did notice with P-groove that I did get Shin Akuma at below 1199, and I did get God Rugal at above 1200, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's right.
