Step Challenge

[Kevin]

This challenge is suitable for advanced players, but unfortunately not for beginners.
In this challenge, all fights must be done in HK Coliseum on Crazy difficulty, and the goal is to beat Julian. You can try as many times as possible on each step.

First select your level (level 1 to 5). Let's say you select Level N
You are allowed to use N steps, and in each step, you must face N enemies.

As you start with Template, beating N Julians can be impossible, so you need to unlock stronger characters first. You unlock a character by beating him. This, of course, costs you one step. As you unlock a stronger character, you will be able to beat an even stronger character, and eventually beat Julian.

There is one special rule: LouisEX is not allowed to fight Julian. This is because LouisEX is OP against Julian, despite being easily unlocked. You can use LouisEX to unlock Firzen though.

So for example you select Level 3 (3-Step Challenge).
As you start with Template, it's impossible to win a Template VS 3 Julians, right? You need a stronger character, for example Firzen VS 3 Julian is possible. To unlock Firzen, you have to beat him (in 1v3 since this is Level 3). Maybe then, using Template to beat 3 Firzens will still be too difficult. You can, for example, unlock Deep first, since Deep VS 3 Firzen seems doable.

And so, the plan for the 3-Step Challenge will be:
1. Template VS 3 Deep
2. Deep VS 3 Firzen
3. Firzen VS 3 Julian
This works, because you are allowed to take 3 steps, as it is Level 3.

Of course, if you, for example, selected Level 1, (1-Step Challenge), you have no choice but to do Template VS Julian - since you can only take 1 step because it's Level 1.

Scoring - just to make it funner

Similar to Golf. If you use the maximum number of steps allowed, then you get a PAR, 0 score. If you use more, you get a plus and if you use less you get a minus. Thus the smaller score is better. If you don't win, then the score for that level will be +3. When you start, you haven't won any level, thus your score is +15.

You can only score a par for Level 1. If you take 3 steps to beat Julian, you still get +2, which is better than not winning the challenge (+3).
For Level 2, if you do Template VS 2 Julian, then you can get a -1 :B , though basically getting a PAR is already nice on any level.


e.g. I won Level 1 (par), Level 2-4 (-1) but not yet Level 5. If you calculate it, my score is zero.

I can do 1 VS 4, but it's seems that only a few here can do 1 Firzen vs 4 Julian and win. It's really hard. Can we just change the 1 VS ? as we want as soon as we got Bat?

[Kevin]

BTW
I have another concept:
There are 5 challenges.
1 Step Challenge: 1 VS 1, but you must do it in 1 step (so you must beat Julian with Template)
2 Step Challenge: 1 VS 2, but you have 2 steps (e.g. Template VS 2 Davis then Davis VS 2 Julian)
3 Step Challenge: 1 VS 3, but you have 3 steps (e.g. Template VS 3 Rudolf, Rudolf VS 3 LouisEX, LouisEX VS 3 Julian)
4 Step Challenge: 1 VS 4, but you have 4 steps (e.g. Template VS 4 Rudolf, Rudolf VS 4 LouisEX, LouisEX VS 4 Firzen, Firzen VS 4 Julian)
5 Step Challenge: 1 VS 5 and you have 5 steps. This is the last challenge since fighting 6 Julian or 6 Firzen seems impossible .

How many of these challenges can you beat? . That's funner. I have beaten four of them and trying to beat the last one.


Additionally, if Firzen and Julian seems too difficult, you can do for example 3.5 Step Challenge, where it is the same as 4 Step Challenge, except that Julian and Firzen has 1 less in their team (so only need to beat 3 Julian in the end).

I did it! Template VS Julian with Crazy.

[Marko pro]

Great job!!!
waiting for more video like this

[Kevin]

These are my best (with the recordings)
1-Step Challenge:
Haven't done this, but I should be able to do this.

2-Step Challenge:
Completed it in a single step .
1. Template VS 2 Julian

3-Step Challenge:
Completed it in two steps.
1. Template VS 3 Firzen
2. Firzen VS 3 Julian

4-Step Challenge:
Completed it in three steps.
1. Template VS 4 Rudolf
2. Rudolf VS 4 Firzen
3. Firzen VS 4 Julian

5-Step Challenge:
NOT COMPLETED XD . Planned to complete it in 4 steps though.
1. Template VS 5 Rudolf (extremely difficult when they start to clone D: )
2. I plan for Rudolf VS 5 LouisEX. I already done VS 6 before, so this should be quite easy.
3. I plan for LouisEX VS 5 Firzen, because it's the easiest way to grab Firzen, but I still can't! This is why I haven't beaten 5-Step Challenge .
4. Firzen VS 5 Julian (amazingly much more difficult than I imagined XD )

I'm still trying very hard to beat 5-Step challenge XD .

[Kevin]

I added a new rule:
LouisEX VS Julian is banned!
Reason: it's too easy - everyone will get LouisEX to beat Julian . Beating Julian with LouisEX turned out to be easier than with Firzen. He's OP against Julian, thus he's banned. You can use him to get Firzen though!

As a result, no one has ever beaten the 5-Step Challenge!


And added some scoring rules just to make it a bit more interesting.

[zort]

I am pleased to say that the 5-step challenge has been surmounted. I am sorry to say, however, that none these fights are that interesting. Kevin's better than me at this sort of thing; I just got the lucky LouisEX vs 5 Firzens fight.

1. Template -> Rudolf
   
2. Rudolf -> LouisEX
   
3. LouisEX -> Firzen
   
4. Firzen -> Julian
   

Notice that the n-Step Challenge has been completed in n-1 steps, for all n from 2 to 5.

---

HOLY CRAP THE 6-STEP HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED!! IN 4 STEPS!
1. Template -> Hunter
2. Hunter -> Mark
3. Mark -> Firzen
4. Firzen -> Julian

[Kevin]

wtf, Mark of course!

BUT SIX!!
And the hell you did firzen vs 6 julians as well

You did the things I almost believed impossible XD
Man, surely gonna watch when I'm outta here


EDIT:
wow... hunter vs 6 mark is awesome too
That LouisEX VS 5 Firzen is brilliant! Woohoo really enjoyed the recordings, sir.

[John Fighterli]

I quite still didn't understand this step challenge because of scores. It is really confusing me hard.


Anyway, I have done that in HK Coliseum Crazy Mode :-

I have done these new recordings in order to participate in the step challenge. Is one or two recordings are enough? If not then I am making some other great recordings.




Well, Firzen VS 5 or 6 Julian is not that hard. It is quite simple. You only need to let 3 or Julian at the end and then do explotion and take a lot of life. And keep on defensing and win!
