    There may be some tournaments.

    If you haven't got any more actual items in 30 item battles then I think it's safe to assume you got them all.

    I recently got Jacky's Conqueror rank item.

    What a bloody dissapointment that was.

    Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere in the thread but I actually triggered the Balloon trick once after losing a match which resulted in both my winds and loses to end in "5".

    I've done the baloon trick three times in a row now with three different Char's (Lion, Jacky and Kage)
    And i've noticed something interesting...
    See, i resetted my saved data (i was getting bored seeing As I had clocked the game with Lion :p) and I tried the baloon trick for those 3, and well,
    Each Character i did it for, by the time I did the whole 7 wins/losses thing, was also on 7th Kyu... 3 7's?
    and, that first baloon worked 100% of the time for me
    Maybe the more 7's you have, the even more likely it is to appear??
    I.E. 7th Kyu, 7th Dan, 7th Name-Rank ECT.

    I'm thru with quest mode, but that's a keen observation.
    You're probably more likely to see it with 5th kyu (or 5th dan,) and 5's in the wins and losses, too, then.

    Sorry to keep posting in this supposedly 'dead' thread, but, this, 999,999 gold cheat i've been hearing about, I was wondering, does it work for PS3 too?
    I mean, I've looked it up, looked everywhere, but I can only ever find it for 360...

    Like, if it isn't on the PS3, I just want to know, so that I'm not trying to get 100% in quest mode for everything in Vain.

    I think the gold cheat works on PS3 as well. I can't confirm it though.

    yeah well, I was thinking someone would have had to finished 100% quest mode by now, but I can't find it anywhere

    I've never heard of it for PS3. I did collect 100% for Akira.

    Also, it's not really a "cheat" for the 360. I think it's a reward for getting the Quest Mode Trifecta (I collected 100% for Akira).

    Hopefully thread necromancy isn't too frowned upon if you're posting new, relevant information.

    Read the whole thread and didn't see it mentioned anywhere: I've read numerous sources that suggest that the balloon won't show up until you've already beaten the World Tournament Final. Makes sense, but can anyone confirm/deny this? Just recently got my own copy of the game after playing on and off with friends for years, so I haven't made it that far yet.

    It can happen much sooner. I think my wife got it to appear at someplace between 30 and 40 wins.

    Not sure where you read that, but beating the World Tournament Final is definitely not a requirement to the balloon trick.

    You just need to ensure the last digit in your wins and losses are the same, odd number. Matching 7's seem to work the most reliably.

    *nod* That's what I thought, but I was trying this all afternoon/evening and I got no love with 0, 1, or 3. I even tried the "rank/wins/losses" strategy with 1st dan, 31 wins, 1 loss.

    I know there was one guy in this thread who said he started new character data and got the balloon to show up extremely reliably with just 7 wins and 7 losses; but I was thinking that maybe you need to have beaten the World Tournament Final with at least one character to unlock the balloon with the rest of your characters. Kind of like the max gold thing.

    nope. every time i've ever started a character, i get 2 wins and 3 losses, and then go to town till i get the balloon trick rolling. sometimes it can be a bit stubborn at first, but then it seems to give in.

    quit at 22 wins and 3 losses, then 32 wins, 3 losses, and on and on.
