=========================================================================
1. OVERVIEW ---------------------------------------------------- [OVER]
=========================================================================
This FAQ covers the console versions of the King of Fighters XIII and
how to acquire each of the scenes in the Story Mode.
In order to acquire all scenes, you will need to complete four separate
story paths, lose to the boss once, view three team specific cut
scenes, and view the credits after the previous objectives have been
completed. For the quickest way to accomplish this, please refer to the
Optimal Pathing [OPTI] section.
=========================================================================
2. HOW SCENES ARE DETERMINED ----------------------------------- [HOW2]
=========================================================================
In general, scenes are determined by the choices made when prompted by
the game and are NOT affected by any other factors (e.g.: difficulty,
target actions, perfect victories, super special move finishes, etc.).
The team you select in Story Mode will not affect your path or ending.
Although the team you select will affect whether or not you are able to
view Scenes 9-11 during your playthrough, these scenes are easily
obtained afterward through replaying Scene 8.
In other words, if you are having trouble beating Story Mode, you can
select your best team and set the game difficulty to Very Easy.
The choices that determine your path are:
- During Scene 5
1) The KOF Teams
2) The Giant Airship Sky Noah
3) The Aircraft Carrier Trautman
- During Scene 8
1) The Start of the Tournament
2) Inside the Stadium
3) Outside the Stadium (this option only appears when The Aircraft
Carrier Trautman is selected)

=========================================================================
3. PATHS ------------------------------------------------------- [PATH]
=========================================================================
In general, there are four paths to completing story mode, with the
path you follow determined by the combination of choices you make
during Scenes 5 and 8. These paths and all the possible combination of
choices to select them are listed below, with the recommended choices
to minimize unnecessary gameplay listed first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------PATH 1: MAIN BRANCH -------------------------------------------- [PTH1]
----------------------------------------------------------------------Arguably, the main story mode branch that most resembles the Arcade
Mode story and follows the exploits of Ash Crimson the closest.
Consists of...
- 1 (Optional) Spar (1 vs. 1)
- 2-3 Team Battles (3 vs. 3)
- 2 Boss Battles (3 vs. 1)
Choices...

(During Scene 8)
2) Inside the Stadium
1) The Start of the Tournament
1) The Start of the Tournament
1) The Start of the Tournament

It is recommended that you select "The KOF Teams" and "Inside the
Stadium" for this path.
Selecting "The Start of the Tournament" will always result in this
path, regardless of the first choice. However, because "The Start of
the Tournament" results in an extra team battle and skips over scenes,
it is not recommended that you select this choice.
(Note: If you are missing Scenes 9-11, you can skip directly to Scene 8
and select "Inside the Stadium" to view your team's cutscene.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------PATH 2: ADELHEID AND ROSE -------------------------------------- [PTH2]
----------------------------------------------------------------------The branch that follows the story of Adelheid and Rose Bernstein.
Consists of...
- 2 Team Battles (3 vs. 3)
- 2 Boss Battles (3 vs. 1)
Choices...
(During Scene 5)
2) The Giant Airship Sky Noah

(During Scene 8)
2) Inside the Stadium

----------------------------------------------------------------------PATH 3: HEIDERN AND HIS AGENTS --------------------------------- [PTH3]

----------------------------------------------------------------------The branch that follows the story of Heidern and his agents.
Consists of...
- 2 Team Battles (3 vs. 3)
- 2 Boss Battles (3 vs. 1)
Choices...
(During Scene 5)
3) The Aircraft Carrier Trautman

(During Scene 8)
2) Inside the Stadium

----------------------------------------------------------------------PATH 4: BAD ENDING --------------------------------------------- [PTH4]

----------------------------------------------------------------------The branch that is the equivalent of Arcade Mode's bad ending.
Consists of...
- 2 Team Battles (3 vs. 3)
Choices...
(During Scene 5)
3) The Aircraft Carrier Trautman

(During Scene 8)
3) Outside the Stadium

=========================================================================
4. SCENES ------------------------------------------------------ [SCEN]
=========================================================================
Below is list of all scenes and the paths in which they appear,
with notes on how to quickly acquire them from the chapter menu for

5. RESUMING FROM THE CHAPTER MENU ------------------------------ [CHAP]
=========================================================================
Unfortunately, resuming Story Mode from the chapter menu will not
retain the path that you were previously on. Below is a chart that
shows which scenes, when selected from the chapter menu, will result in
which ending you will receive. Scenes 26-32 are the endings themselves,
and therefore do not have any path notations.

=========================================================================
6. OPTIMAL PATHING --------------------------------------------- [OPTI]
=========================================================================
It will take a minimum of four (mostly) full playthroughs and resuming
from the chapter menu three times to acquire all scenes. In order to
achieve this in the fewest number of rounds played possible, it is
recommended that you do the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------PLAYTHROUGH 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Begin a normal playthrough, then make the following choices:
(During Scene 5)
