How to fight Red Arremer

[StormVII]

I've seen conflicting info online on how to unlock this boss, but the trophy already has a 10% clear. Can someone please help me put the issue to bed?

The requirements are the same as Princess Athena, however the difference is you have to win a round with chip damage.

[StormVII]

Please, list everything out because I've fought Athena so many times, but whenever I chip kill someone on the path I just get the bad ending.

[AWMonopolyMan]

Not lose a single round

Finish 5 rounds with supers

Defeat one opponent with block damage (most likely winning the fight itself with block damage)

(Note Shin Akuma and Serious Mr. Karate do not count towards these requirements). So if possible, better to use a special or super while they block.

[StormVII]

Okay, swear I did this several times, but I had this set as 1 round fights. Does that disqualify the attempt?

[StormVII]

Nope, just used Kasumi, spammed her super like crazy. Chip killed three different time and one of them was to end a match... BAD ENDING

I decided to look up info about this, it just seems to be a coin flip on who you get, basically pure RNG on who you get between Orochi Iori/Serious Mr. Karate/Athena or Violent Ken/Shin Akuma/Red Arremer or something in between. Really really dislike pure RNG like that

[StormVII]

What do you mean? Like if fight Shin Akuma instead of Karate then I can't fight Red? That... shouldn't be the case, because I've fought Athena several times after either Akuma or Karate.

Apparently according to an old 2004 fourm, its 5 rounds via block damage, so basically, it is hope the CPU blocks your specials or supers 5 different times (and be knocked out by it) to get the boss to appear.

During one of my rounds I just got a red (instead of yellow) S+ is that what I'm looking for?

[StormVII]

Nope, just means I got a perfect... damn.

Yeah, Red is perfect, Yellow is normal, Blue is time over (which you don’t want) and Gray is Chip (you will also know it worked if instead of the character flying back on a Special or Super, they fall down on the spot).

[StormVII]

And I'd have to super chip them 5 different times? That seems like a lot to do and again, 10% of players already beat him in the first day.

[StormVII]

Have you fought them yet?

[AWMonopolyMan]

Yeah, 5 different rounds, out of a possible 14 rounds (normally). Not yet, waiting on the Switch version to come out.

[StormVII]

I just upper it best 3 of 5 and the best I could get was 2
