You can unlock Devil Jin in Tekken 5--I'd read--either by completing the "Devil Within" mode starring him in 3rd-person 3d platformer/beat-em-up mode, or by completing 200 fighting matches in Tekken 5. I am not going to play a non-fighting game mode, so it would have to be 200 matches--and I thought I was close. I thought I only had 20, maybe 30 matches left, at most.

My math was off. By 30 matches. : P

So by playing eh 60 or so Arcade Battle--aka "Ghost Battle"--matches with various characters, I finally got Devil Jin unlocked, and played through his Story Battle. It took a while. Somewhere in the middle I sort of gave up in exasperation and played through Tekken 5's included arcade version of Tekken 3 as Bryan Fury, with like 1.5 functioning button mappings (T3 arcade port uses PS face buttons, not your T5remapped attack buttons, which sort of made it messy on my arcade stick :p...so I just mashed Right Punch mostly, which had miracularly stayed in the same place). That somehow recharged my batteries, and I tore back in to just ripping through matches to get that darn Devil:

0:00 - start, messing
5:51 - Customize - Kazuya
13:39 - Kazuya - Arcade Battle
38:15 - Law
54:46 - Feng
1:37:22 - Bruce
2:04:52 - Tekken 3 - Bryan play-through mash
2:25:00 - Jack-5 - Arcade Battle
3:08:47 - Devil Jin!
3:10:50 - Devil Jin - Story Battle
3:30:19 - end cinematic
3:31:09 - credits
3:35:13 - Customize - Devil Jin
3:40:10 - wrap-up & what's next!
3:46:38 - VF5 Ultimate Showdown?

I kept kind of hitting a wall with the characters I picked for Arcade Battle, after 5 matches or so. Oh this was on Medium difficulty. Couldn't juggle for heck with Bruce, for instance! Jack-5 finally jackhammered to the Devil though, whew.

DJ is pretty strong. I used up-forward Right Kick, I think it was, repeatedly to beat the boss, but it felt like probably just about anything he had would have done. This was the first time I'd played him in 5 but I just mashed through his Story Battle on a single credit, at the default Medium difficulty (and set to 3 rounds to win instead of the default mere 2). So yeah he's strong. : o

Unlocking Devil Jin also unlocked the two boss wasteland stages, Final Stage and Final Stage 2, for selection in Practice (and probably 2-player Versus).

I think this means I might be able to let 5 rest and concentrate on Ghost Battle in 5 Dark Resurrection and 6.
