Ehrgeiz Arcade

[coreycorey2000]

I bought an Ehrgeiz cabinet about a week ago. It works great so I've been playing it quite a bit. I don't know how to unlock new characters though. I've beat 11 stages (including cloud and tifa) without losing and then ran out of time at the red scorpian. I just found out that I can kill the scorpian with the daggers so I will try that tonight. Will that unlock a character for me? I'm pretty sure you can only unlock 3 characters in the arcade version correct?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rummaging at GameFAQs reveals that they're time release.

 

"You can also play as Cloud or Tifa if you're patient; both are

"time-released" characters that will simply appear as selectable

fighters at the character select screen after the machine has been

installed at your local arcade for a set period of time. Cloud will be

"released" as a selectable character first (30 days after installation),

followed by Tifa (60 days), then Django (90 days), a mysterious animal

that looks similar to Nanaki (Red XIII) or Seto, Nanaki's dad in Final

Fantasy VII; "

Thank you so much!

I've read stuff at Gamefaqs and all over the place. I couldn't find much specific to the arcade version. SO I assumed I needed to beat the game with a male character, a female character, and all 8 original characters. And then possibly with the Final fantasy 7 characters. But apparently that is jsut for the PSX version.

 

Again thank you very much. I've read so many faqs and walkthroughs but they were all for the psx version.

I struck the arcade game page, and poked a few links until I found the info I was looking for.

Was in a Cloud-specific character FAQ.
