Easy money
Keep playing the Ancient Amphitheater stage with Kilik.
Keep pressing [Black] until you get a K.O. for easy money.
After successfully completing chapter 1, return to the training
area (the first mission) and complete training again. Almost every
time, you will get between 300 to 500 experience points, and between
300 and 600 gold.
Go to the gambling fight with the bonus for each hit landed on
the opponent.
Go to the level where you must face four people and get a bonus.
This will be stated at the top where the article is located. Land
as many hits as possible (Talim is recommended). You will receive
about 28,000 gold.
In weapon master mode, go to chapter 9 (Algol). In the second
stage is a tournament where you can get a bonus of 1,000 to 2,000
gold per hit. You will fight three to five enemies. By the time
you win, you will gain between 20,000 to 35,000 gold. You can
keep repeating this strategy until you get the desired amount
of goal. This is best done the first time you play, as it will
get increasingly difficult in the later times that you play.
Make your way through weapon master mode as far as chapter 9-2
(Ancient Amphitheatre). Select Talim and equip her with the twin
Chaqu (bought in the shop in Chapter 6). Press [A]x2, [B]
to pull off the Swift Espada combo, which will knock your opponent
down if all of the attacks hit and get you behind them. The Salisi
Razor (press [B]x2, hold [Towards] enemy and tap [Kick]x4)
will knock your opponent into the air, and you will do a handful
of somersault kicks after them. If the first kick hits, they will
be open to the other attacks which should send them hurtling across
the stage for a very quick KO or ringout. If you have laid some
serious hits on the enemy, you can win between 20,000 and 30,000
gold. A few times through this and you will have more than enough
to buy almost everything available in all the shops, up to and
including Chapter 10.
To gain a lot of money in a short time, go to the options screen
and set the game to the "Easy" difficulty setting and
the time to be infinite. Then, with any character, complete the
game. After doing this, you automatically get 1,000 gold. Continue
this as long as needed. This is also an easy way to unlock character's
biographies in "Museum" mode.
In weapon master mode, go to Chapter 9, Algol, and go to stage
2, Ancient Amphitheater. Do not do the extra mission if you cannot
survive with it blowing up. Fight the people there. If you are
skilled, you might get from 20000 to over 30000 gold.
Regaining health
When you are in a dungeon and do not regain full health
back after a battle, just go to the first square in it and fight
there. You will start at full health again.
Higher ranking titles
Rankings are based on experience in edge master mode.
A good level to earn fast experience is Er Rai. It is in extra
chapter 2 (Cepheus). For example, 500,000 experience earns you
level 77, Grand Edgemaster Of The Basilisk.
Defeating Voldo in weapon master
mode
The first time you meet Voldo in weapon master mode
you must hit him twenty times in twenty seconds. Do a ring out;
even if you only have hit him less than nineteen times, you will
pass.
Easy ring outs
Get your opponent to the edge of the ring as Nightmare.
Do a back and vertical slash. Your opponent will fly into the
air and fall out of the ring.
As Cassandra, get close to the edge with your opponent closest
to it. Press [Down/Left]x2 or [Down/Right]x2 depending
on which side they are on, then press [Circle]x2. Cassandra
will do a low kick, swing around, and do a high kick.
With any character, press [Forward] + "Low Kick".
Ivy: Easy wins
Go near the edge of the stage (with your back facing
it) and have your opponent follow you. Use Primal Dominance ([A]
+ [G]) for instant ring outs. If your opposition does not
fall off but is close to the edge (this time with his/her back
facing it), use Rising Mind Shatter ([Up] + [K]) to
send them off.
Nightmare: Easy wins
Press [Forward]x2, [Y]. This move requires
some timing and measurement. If this move is blocked, immediately
follow up by pressing [X]x2 while rising from the crouch
position after the first move. Though not flawless, it is very
fast and damaging; and works in almost any mode or mission.
Do the night lower stance ([Left] [B] + [K]) and
Earth Divide ([Down], [Down/Right], [Right], [B])
twice for an easy K.O.
Equip Nightmare with Glam, soul charge during the fight. and use
Earth Divide. This will kill your opponent in one hit.
Raphael: Easy wins
As soon as the match starts hold the right side of
the "over right button" on the controller and press
[Y] repeatedly. Raphael will do quick strikes with his sword
repeatedly. Keep doing this, even if it is blocked (it may pierce
through). During weapon master mode, make enough money and buy
as many weapons for Raphael as possible. You will probably get
a high offense low defense or something of that sort. If you can,
get one that can pierce defenses easier. With your hits being
mostly piercing, you will hit your opponent almost every time.
When close to the edge, grab your opponent. He should be knocked
off if you use the grab where he hits them multiple times with
his sword.
Seung Mina: Health gain
Select Seung Mina and equip her ultimate weapon, the
Hraesvelgr. While in battle, you can regain lots of health quickly
with this weapon if you do her spinning staff attack. Whether
it hits the opponent or not, you will gain health. Note: If you
are not attacking, the weapon will drain your health, so be careful.
Spawn: Fireballs
Hold [Back] and press [Black] to do a fireball;
or hold [Back] and press [Black], [White] to do
a green fireball that can push people back when against the edge.
Taki: Strong kick combo
When you get hit first, press [L] + [R] +
[Up] + [Kick] together in any position. You will do
a kick combo. Note: You have to get close to your opponent.
Voldo: Easy weapon master mode
Use Voldo to complete weapon master mode by running
at the opponent, then press [Y] and continue this for an
easy ring out. This will cut the time to completing weapon master
mode in half.
Yoshimitsu: Easy wins
Use either of his frontal throws and constantly use
them until the enemy is defeated. This is especially useful for
the subchapter dungeon with all of the Berzerker enemies, as most
of them are at half health.
Yoshimitsu: Suicide
Get near the opponent then press [Down], [A]
+ [K].
Rival selection
When you start a new game in weapon master mode, whoever
you choose for the first battle will affect who your rival will
be for the rest of the game. If your rival is male, then his name
will be Leon. If they are female, their name will be Minerva.

Predicting demo mode winner
A demo fight between two random characters will start
if you allow the game to idle at the title screen. There are two
ways for you to actually tell who would win before the match ends.
First, the character on the left side of the versus screen will
win. Second, the "losing" character will have his/her
mini-profile displayed first during the fight. After the "winning"
character wins, his/her mini-profile will now be displayed. Note:
There is a possibility that the "winning" character
will lose the fight and will suddenly make a pose as if he/she
actually was the fighter who won.
Perfect practice mode
You can kill yourself in practice mode without having
to ring out, resulting in a perfect for other combatant. To do
this, select Yoshimitsu as the character that you are going to
practice with. When the practice starts, have the opponent lay
down on the ground. Next, perform Yoshimitsu's suicide attack
(where he stabs himself in the stomach). Repeat this two to four
times (one immediately after another) and you will die. Your opponent
will get a perfect in practice mode.
