Tournaments (MMBN4)

From The Rockman EXE Zone Wiki

This is a guide to multiple Tournament scenarios in Mega Man Battle Network 4.

Tournament Seeding

Each Tournament is seeded in such a way that the player will always encounter one scenario from three different categories. The rest of the tournament board is then padded out with 5 Navis which are predetermined to lose before they can be matched up with MegaMan.

The RNG for all three tournaments is set for the whole game at the moment a new game (plus) is started. The actual bracket for the tournament is constructed using the tournament RNG when that tournament board is first viewed during that game.

The three categories of scenarios are as follows:

  • Soul Navis for that version.
    • Red Sun: GutsMan, FireMan, Roll, WindMan, ThunderMan, SearchMan
    • Blue Moon: AquaMan, NumberMan, MetalMan, WoodMan, ProtoMan, JunkMan
  • Unique, non-Soul Navis, plus any opposite version Soul Navis that have been transferred via Waiting Room.
    • Red Sun: SparkMan, TopMan, VideoMan, BurnerMan, KendoMan, ColdMan, AquaMan, NumberMan, MetalMan, WoodMan, ProtoMan, JunkMan
    • Blue Moon: SparkMan, TopMan, VideoMan, BurnerMan, KendoMan, ColdMan, GutsMan, FireMan, Roll, WindMan, ThunderMan, SearchMan
  • Normal and Heel Navis

Soul Navis

This category contains all Navis that pertain to the Double Souls of the version the player is playing.

  • In Game 1, the Soul Navi for the (RS)Den Battle / (BM)City Battle Tournament will always be (RS)GutsMan / (BM)AquaMan. The Soul Navis for the other two tournaments are chosen at random.
  • In Game 2, the game will force one of the Soul scenarios in either the Eagle/Hawk or Red Sun/Blue Moon Tournament to be the same as the one chosen in Game 1. This leads to the player only obtaining 2 additional Souls in Game 2, leaving the last to be obtained during Game 3.
    • Which of the tournaments will have a duplicate Soul scenario, is determined when the Eagle/Hawk Tournament board is first viewed in Game 2. However, this choice uniquely does not use tournament RNG, but rather the regular RNG, and can therefore be soft-reset by the player before viewing the tournament board to obtain the desired outcome.
  • Otherwise, the game will always select the Soul Navi that did not appear in the previous game.

Unique Navis

This category contains all unique Navis that do not yield a Double Soul. It also contains any Soul Navis from the opposite version which have been transferred via Waiting Room.

  • The unique Navi is selected at random, by applying the following filters in order until a Navi can be chosen:
    • Opposite-version Soul Navis which have not been encountered yet.
    • Non-version-exclusive Navis which have not been encountered yet.
    • All (opposite-version or non-version-exclusive) Navis, excluding the Navi that appeared in the previous game.
  • Factoring in the Waiting Room, this means that at least 4 Continues are required in order to encounter every scenario.
  • The game only includes opposite-version Soul Navis which are in the Waiting Room at the moment the tournament board is first viewed during that game.
  • If the player adds or removes opposite version Soul Navis to/from the Waiting Room during the game before the tournament board is first viewed, this can lead to a different scenario being encountered from that category. This does not affect the other two categories (same-version Soul Navis and Normal/Heel Navis).

Normal/Heel Navi

This category contains all Normal and Heel Navis.

  • The Normal/Heel Navi is always selected at random.
    • FullCust *✱ is only obtainable in a BMD by playing through Paulie’s Heel Navi scenario from the final tournament. If the player is unlucky enough to never get this scenario in their playthrough up to Game 3 and want to get Mega Chip completion as soon as possible without trading, it can be obtained through the BugFrag Trader in Black Earth 2.

NumberMan Scenario

The reward changes depending on the number of flyers given out.

Flyer Amount Reward
10 - 14 TripCrak *
15 - 19 LifeSync N
20 Ball T

Once 10 or more ads have been given out, if Lan examines Dex's trash can, he can throw out as many ads into it. Throwing out the flyers will count towards the amount given and the reward will adjust to how many were thrown out.

SparkMan Scenario

One of the questions asks for “Number of Hotdogs”, but in the Japanese version, the Hotdog stand is a Takoyaki stand. The number of food items were changed in the localization, so the passcode changed as well.

  • In the Legacy Collection, the passcode is different depending on the current language setting.
Starting Question Passcode
Town NetDealers (JP) 1863546
(EN) 1563546

In Game 2, whether a new Soul Navi will appear or not in this tournament can be rerolled. View the tournament board for the first time, then reset the game until the desired outcome. If a new Soul Navi appears in that tournament, there won’t be a new Soul Navi for the 3rd tournament until Game 3.
