Starting drunken master Lei Wulong in Ghost Battle mode of Tekken 6 on PS3, on Hard difficulty (plus some experimentation with Ultra Hard at the end):

0:00 - start
1:13 - Customize
12:37 - Ghost Battle (Hard)
1:26:46 - Hard to Ultra Hard
1:36:47 - ranks (& difficulty?)
1:39:05 - wrap-up & what's next!

Lei is fun! I don't think I've very good with him. He has at least three special stances I slipped into at some point (crane stance, lying down, and shoot, something else I'm blanking on); I'm bad at stances. And intricate combinations. So Lei may not really be for me, but he was fun so to heck with it. Eh the question will be, can I start to get effective with his other moves, or will it come down to me falling back on down-forward Left Kick and down-back Right Kick whenever push comes to shove? Because that wouldn't be so great. :P

Got all the way up to 1st kyu with him in this one session, from Beginner; 1st kyu is just one rank away from the top rank you can achieve fighting offline: 1st dan. I tested raising the difficulty to the highest setting, Ultra Hard, to see who would challenge me; several fights later I had a "Conqueror" rank Lili--took two of five rounds off her in the first try! According to this list https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Tekken_6/Ranking_List , above 1st dan, the ranks go up to 4th dan, then 27 named ranks; Conqueror is the 12th named rank. So that "CC M@ster" Conquerer Lili ghost was 13 ranks above me, but there were still 15 more ranks above her. Are there ghosts for all of them? Can I get the higher ranks to face me in Ghost Battle if I can only reach 1st dan (given that I'm not interested in online)?

I guess I'll have to take Lei to 1st dan and try more Ultra Hard next time to see what the highest rank AI I can fight is, and to figure out if the challenge level is high enough (it really doesn't have to be crushingly high I suppose, just high enough to keep me on my toes) to be worth continuing to play.

I suspect that I *won't* be able to get upper echelon ranks to challenge me, but even so, at this point the challenge I can get will be enough to keep me busy--for now. But, will I start to feel the challenge ebbing away if I start getting better with practice? Will I start to feel like I'm "wasting my time" as I grind for being able to afford some of those fancy costumes? Will I have to fall back entirely on Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection for Ghost Battle challenge, eventually?

(Got a vaccine appointment! Was so excited I forgot to ask if I needed to bring anything. They hadn't said I needed to though so I suppose a driver's license should do it.)
