The King of Fighters XIII Illustration Guide by Sinalefa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Introduction 2.Version History 3.How to get each image 4.Ending movies 5.Credits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, and welcome to my first guide. I decided to create this FAQ after unlocking the easier to get illustrations and finding an 18 images gap on the gallery. I tried to look for answers in the Answers section of Gamefaqs, but I could only find the question without any answer. Digging further via Google, I found a topic reply in the Gamefaqs forums by user Dazmund where he details the sixteen hidden or special teams, plus the two extra images, linked to the two unlockable characters: Billy Kane and Saiki. I was amazed that this information is not in the Answers section (as there is both a question about the hidden teams and another one about unlocking the Gallery Illustrations), so I decided to take a little time to compile everything here. I will also be dealing with the ending movies and the Invitation image that you can find on the third page of the game's Gallery. The music is already unlocked as far as I know, so I won't dwell on that. I included the methods for unlocking the hidden characters and the final boss for the sake of completion. I have the PlayStation 3 version of the game, but it should work for Xbox 360 users as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.Version History ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.00, July 2012. All images given. Hopefully this will be the first and only edition, but you never know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.How to get each image ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first batch of images is pretty easy to get. You just need to play at least one fight in Arcade or Versus with every character, including the hidden ones. The images are as follows: Elisabeth, Duo Lon, Shen Kyo, Benimaru, Daimon Iori, Mature, Vice Terry, Andy, Joe Athena, Kensou, Chin Kim, Hwa Jai, Raiden Ryo, Robert, Takuma Ralf, Clark, Leona Ash Crimson Mai, King, Yuri K', Kula, Maxima Billy Kane Saiki True Saiki Dark Ash For the second batch of images, you need to win at least one fight with the character in question. The order of the images is the same as before. In order to get the images for True Saiki and Dark Ash, just play Arcade Mode and make sure you fight them and beat them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to fight True Saiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To fight True Saiki, just earn at least 2,500,000 points total after beating the sixth team. If you beat him, you will get to fight against Dark Ash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to unlock Billy Kane and Saiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The hidden characters are unlocked by performing Target Actions. Those are the special instructions that appear below the energy bar (i.e.: Perform Three Jumps) during the fights. They will be then fought after the third team. To unlock Billy Kane, you need to perform at least 2 target actions per fight. And to unlock Saiki, you need to perform at least 5 of them in every fight. Beating the characters will allow you to select them in any mode except Story. Please note that you can unlock only one of them per playthrough. I know there is a hidden character in this game that you have to buy as DLC, Iori with the Power of the Flames. Since I haven't bought him, I do not know much about him, but from what I have read, he also has images in the gallery, that should be gotten using the same methods for other fighters. I ignore if he has an ending or at least a special picture at the end. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and credited to the first person who submits it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting the Hidden Images ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want the third batch of images, you need to beat the game with the Special or Hidden Teams. There are sixteen of them, and you will see the image after beating Dark Ash and watching the credits. There are also two more images, one for defeating Dark Ash with Saiki and one for doing so with Billy Kane. Remember that it is not enough to have the character in your team, he must actually beat the final boss for the image to be granted. The hidden images are as follows: Ash, K', Kyo Athena, Yuri, Kula King, Chin, Hwa Jai Benimaru, Robert, Andy Mai, Elisabeth, King Daimon, Raiden, Maxima Ash, Duo Lon, Shen Raiden, Clark, Daimon Leona, Vice, Mature Kim, Kyo, Kensou Ryo, Kyo, Terry Benimaru, Leona, Iori Kula, Yuri, Ash Ash, Chin, K' Billy, Raiden, Hwa Jai (here have either Raiden or Hwa Jai beat Dark Ash) Kyo, Iori, Takuma Billy Kane (after beating Dark Ash) Saiki (after beating Dark Ash) In order to unlock the fourth and final batch, you will have to beat the Story Mode (not the Arcade Mode) with each of the normal or predetermined teams. Again, make sure you fight against the final boss. So you would be getting these illustrations: Elisabeth Team Japan Team Yagami Team Fatal Fury Team Psycho Soldier Team Kim Team Art of Fighting Team Ikari Warriors Team Women Team K' Team ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Invitation Image ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This image, located on the third page of the gallery, will be locked from the start. To unlock it you need to earn Trophies (on PS3) or Achievements (on XBOX360) to uncover the image little by little. If you notice, there is a completion percentage at the bottom. For every 3 trophies you win, you will unlock a 10% of the image, so you get a 3% for the first and second trophy, and a 4% for the third one, and so on. This means that you need a total of 30 trophies to get the whole picture revealed. It seems that any 30 trophies will do, so work on the ones easier for you. When you achieve the 30th trophy and you get the 100% of the image, you will be able to see it up close, as any other image. This one is a blast as it has tons of new and old KOF combatants portrayed in Chibi (super deformed) style. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Ending Movies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here you only need to beat the game in Arcade Mode with each of the predetermined Teams. Same deal here, you need to beat Dark Ash to receive the "good ending" for each team. This will also unlock the rest of the movies, that are used to tell the story throughout the Arcade Mode. After that, just beat the game with any edited team to get the Edit Team ending and once more with Ash to get his ending. Just get any edited team, select Ash as one of its members, and make sure he is the one defeating Dark Ash. You should receive the Bad Ending after beating the game once, or if you do not do good enough to fight against True Saiki. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.Credits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SNK Playmore, for making this game and for coming back after SNK's demise.
