Hello all, obviously not someone who's run this game before, but I've been looking into doing so for a bit (partially for fun and partially as a bit of a goof). I noticed that the rules for 100% say the following:
"You must start the game on a fresh file and unlock all 8 hidden playable characters (excluding Kevin Nash due to being a cheat code unlock) and obtain all 3 belts for beating the game with a Smackdown, Raw, and Female character. Lastly you'll need to unlock Demolition Derby by beating a level without firing a weapon. This should at minimum take 9 full season runs."
After a quick bit of testing, I've found that a fair few of the characters (particularly the ones unlockable by beating Survivor Series with them as a tag partner, which I believe is Christian, Hogan, and Lita), don't require you to actually beat their respective character's Season Mode to unlock them; you can quit the season after beating Survivor Series, and they will still be unlocked. As such, would I be right in thinking the actual minimum number of full season runs required would be 5 (Brock, Bubba Ray, Triple H, Kurt, any female superstar), with three partial runs up to Survivor Series (Jericho, Rock, Matt Hardy), rather than the nine mentioned above? Does this need amending in the wording?
PS: I've also seen some word around online that Flair can be unlocked by either beating Season Mode with Big Show or RvD, or beating Survivor Series with Triple H. I'm gonna do some more investigating on that front tomorrow. Either way, going from nine full runs to five full runs and three partial runs might make this seem a bit more approachable, if somebody in the future comes along and picks this game up.
