In his previous outing    • #230 Virtua Fighter 4 PS2 \\ a 9th dan AI ...   , this Akira had been at 490 wins, 187 losses, Champion rank--still 72% win ratio, but one rank and 200 matches behind where he started in this episode. I don't know where those 200 matches went! = o That's about how many matches fit on one of these 8+ hour episodes, so eh hm I guess I must've tried another one and not had the video file come through intact (probably forgot to press record ; ), and then completely forgot about the whole thing!

In the first Dural match in this session, Dural has 1 win (and zero losses)--so probably I ran into her for the first time in that lost session.

Dural did not appear during the periods in which "Boom Town" had been demoted to Champion rank--so it appears that you must be at least Adept rank in order to face Dural. I have not been able to find this noted anywhere else on the internet.

According to GameFAQs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/466... , beating Dural in Kumite unlocks her for use in Vs Mode (I haven't checked this). It also seems to mean that she stops challenging that character in Kumite.

About a quarter of Boom Town's losses in this session were to Dural. In 4.5 hours of Adept rank play until she was defeated, she challenged him 15 times, or 3.3 matches per hour; at roughly 25 matches per hour among all challengers, that means she challenged about once every 8 matches.
