I didn't remember until after recording that I learned from a comment from viewer @Magano back on episode 490 that that color unlocks not from hitting a certain rank but from losing a certain number of matches! ; )
Playing Sarah Bryant on "Standard" difficulty in Quest mode of Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution on PS2!
From 9th dan:
0:00 - start
2:05 - Sega Arena Uptown
18:39 - promotion match
24:36 - promotion match
52:25 - "Enigma" 8th dan Lau
59:36 - "Stealth" 10th dan Kage
1:08:22 - demotion match
1:11:30 - demotion match
1:17:41 - color
1:23:34 - wrap-up & what's next!
So yeah eight losses to the two AIs I couldn't beat alone, these things add up and now I've got the bestest costume color woo. And overall I suppose progress was made, quest-wise and rank-wise and completion rating-wise (although they sure do try to take it away after you get it : P), and even though I forgot some important things like axe kicks and how to catch the AI standing for a throw. : PP
And it's 100 losses = Black[1P/2P] costume color unlocked! : D
