Question Regarding Character Data.

If I play with a character within arcade mode and don't choose to use character data along with said playthrough will said win be recorded regarding hard-drive memory, or will that just be a vestigial playthrough essentially?

 

Alright I realize this is a really basic question but it's under the "new starters" forum so what'd you expect? A simple answer would be appreciated.

 

Wins or losses wont be recorded at all if you dont use character data.

If you think about unlocking things, then one playthrough counts as one playthrough regardless of character data. (for instance for purpose of unlocking dural, you dont need to use character data)

 

I just didn't get what the hell you were saying.

 

there is an achievement which can be unlocked by finishing the command training with 5 characters. do I have to use character data there?

 

No.

Why even bother asking and waiting for an answer when it would have taken some whopping 5 minutes or so to go through those command trainings.

 

There's an achievement like that? How the hell am I ever gonna get that?! I can't even do Jeff's Knee /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

I have notoriously bad skills but i managed to do that achievement by pickin characters without hard inputs/hit throws:

Vane (various hit-throws and a 270 throw but she's my main so the rest of the CL went fast)
Lion (just one multipart throw; sub)
Lei Fei (one multiart throw iirc)
Goh (two hit-throws, BORING multipart throw)
Pai (just her BT throw iirc)

Jeffry's various qcf hit-throws was a no-no for me, Pai just has her BT hit throw and Lei Fei has no throws, only special kicks lol. Also out of the question were Sarah's and Brad's just frame kicks and akira's JF knee and spods and other magic and worst of all was Eileen's street fighter command list.

I'd say if you don't play vanessa to substitute her with Lau. With those 5 you'll be done with that achievement in less than an hour.

 

Blaze is pretty easy, as is Dural.

 

Would Dural count towards unlocking said achievement?

 

I don't know, I had it before I beat her time attack. I'll check it out on another account later.
