I’ve been working my way through some of the older unlock conditions, just because, and I’m struck by how many of them pretty much force heroes to beat up their teammates. “Parse must have 1 HP left” “Haka must be the only hero still standing, and at full health” could theoretically happen organically, but in practice the only reasonable way to achieve them is to neutralize the villain and then have the heroes start seriously fighting themselves.

”Must lose prerequisite battles” isn’t quite the same, since you can achieve it by just hitting skip until the heroes lose, but it goes faster if the heroes punch each other instead of the villain.

The self-slaughter conditions are still relevant since the Action Hero Stuntman unlock condition is one of those, where Mainstay has to be the only hero still up.

I would go by the idea that they are trying to meet a thematic point and gameplay wise how you get may not match that. For Haka his case is that he is the lone survivor typically.

Poorly themed gameplay is exactly my point. No one ever meets these unlock conditions by matching the background story, they meet the unlock by neutralizing the villain and then having the heroes beat each other up, which is distinctly unthematic. Because it’s unrealistic to achieve them any other way.
