>>22121379>Isn´t the only reliable way is to just "save scum" after every win?Essentially, yeah, but there a few tips that can help you increase your odds of winning the individual tournaments since otherwise it can be insanely frustrating.
-Always bet on Jennifer, even if she's having an off day. She's by far the strongest competitor and it's not worth the frustration of picking anyone else.
-Bet the lowest amount you can. The more you bet the higher the chance of the AI deciding to fuck you over at just the wrong moment just because it can, like activating one of the specials that cause you to instantly lose or randomly deciding to give your opponent an S-strength attack. Once you start betting a significant amount (more than 1M yen) you'll start to see this happen all the time. Money doesn't matter for the trophy so just bet the minimum.
-There is a logic to the AI's move selection but I've never seen any of the guides/hints online mention it completely. Essentially, the AI almost always leads off with its strongest attack (especially if it only has one strong attack), and then for every subsequent attack the chances of using a particular move depend on the character's affinity for each move and the power (colour) of that particular attack. If it's a basic/white attack, they'll almost always use their weak one or two star moves, if it has one or two upgrades they'll most likely use their medium-strength move, and if it has two or more upgrades they almost always use their strongest move. It's not perfectly accurate (I'd guess their AI uses decision weighting) but it's very consistent, and once you can start consistently predicting their moves you'll find it far less rage-inducing.
-Some guides recommend wearing gear that boosts 'financial luck'. I personally never noticed a correlation, I think it's more to do with the amount you bet, but you might as well do it to be safe.
Remember that the trophy is for winning complete tournaments so you have to win all three matches in a row before you save. Most of all be patient, even with all the tips the AI can decide to fuck you over with an instant-kill move or a random knockout, and it'll probably happen once or twice. But if you're otherwise winning consistently it's not insurmountably frustrating.
