[CS] how do you unlock different paths in story mode?

[Arkrados]

Can we get any details on the Story Mode path requirements? Usually you open certain paths by doing different things.

[shtkn]

taht's not what he's asking. also, i'm renaming your thread to something less vague (it's a pet peeve of mine)

Eh, I'll post up a quick and dirty run through of majority of it later tonight. About halfway through it at the moment but have to go in for work

What time zone are you in?

[Deadly Base]

Well, it's probably like in old CT.

Choose a path in-between fights, win or lose a match, win by distortion finish, win throughout story mode by achieving a number of distortion finishes, win by astral finish, win or lose by time-out, achieve a double down, getting a perfect, etc.

I just remember some of the GG requirements, like "land this attack this many times" or "win with this amount of health or above/below"

Pretty much all done, just wondering should I just post exactly what to do or would it be preferred I show every fight like I did for the CT one?

Story Mode summary:
-You start story mode with only Ragna's story available.
-The stories for the other characters are unlocked by getting the Clear End from another character's story.
-None of the story paths require astral heat or time up wins.
-You also don't have to lose every goddamn fight to get 100%, in fact you don't have to lose unless it leads to another ending.
-Every character besides Haku=men has three endings. The three endings are True, Alternate, and Joke. Alternate endings are also accompanied by a "Help me Doctor Kokonoe" segment after the ending for the character. Haku=men only has two because he didn't feel like having a joke ending. For whatever reason Hazama has to get his Alt ending and his Kokonoe skit seperately.

Unlockables:
-Get a clear/true ending for Ragna, Noel, Jin, Rachel, Tsubaki(not sure on this I might have caused this lol) Hakumen, and Hazama stories to unlock the True Story mode.
-Clearing True Story unlocks Mu, her stage, and her theme Sword of Doom for the other modes.
-100% a character's story mode to get the interview with their voice actor. Noel and Jin are exceptions just like CT(IE: Noel + Lambda, Jin + Hakumen) You can also get interviews with Kokonoe, Relius Clover, Jubei, Makoto, Valkenhayn, and Platina they unlock along with some characters and as you get the last couple stories 100%'d.
-Getting 100% on every story unlocks an interview with Toshimichi Mori.
-Interviews are found in the gallery by pressing R1 and scrolling down to the last option.
-MU DOES NOT HAVE A STORY MODE

Tip:
If you are going for unlocking Mu in a hurry just shoot for doing all the First paths listed. They will get you a clear for every character and get you that True Story unlocked
