Yep.

Though it's strange that only 3 show up for you... could it be a bug? I restarted from F3 back when I imported my data, and everyone was there.

At the moment, you don't have to stick with just Ianeira's defaults. If the Cost level allows, you can add a few extra pieces in (though it'll be kinda hard to juggle since Ianeira's main set has unforgivingly high Cost numbers, forcing a minimalist approach)

Valhalla does have a steep entry fee and the battles there are comparably harder than in the Game Center, but the prizes are worth it. If you can stand to bench Ianeira for a bit and use someone with high LP numbers or better proficiency with light weapons, the battles are actually winnable.
Minimalist approach indeed but that's how I got very far in the game easily at the beginning
because Ianeira's trident quite useful in close combat and I just added only one long range cannon
for shinkis that rely on heavy melee weapons.

Currently making battles to unlock F0 tournament requirements, I hope to meet soon shinkis that drop the EX set for Ianeira.
So far I only got some SP or EX sets for other shinkis :sad:
however I'm already happy getting Ianeira's NS weapons (trident, sword, cannon) and VC ones (sai, grenade launcher???).

Just for info:
-> Be prepared for battle when going in world map after F1 tournament
because a strange shinki may get in your way (they drop good equipments upon victory).
-> Make sure to farm some equipment on some guys in the game center before progressing in the story
otherwise they'll come back with other stuffs (ex: Ianeira with OG set will change to another one).

i found the last of the cursed 4, beat f1, not im on the second part, suprising i did this all with my ianeira, i really like her rail attack but i just set her up with other armor and weapons and she did more than fine, s class on everything in f1, i even changed ianeira's hair and eye colors, but i really want proxima and maryceles, what do i need to do to get them?
edit: an orange haired justice just appeared, and shes everywhere! she was at the game place, my house, the f place, it even let me name her, although, it does not apear that i got to keep her since she just left, does anyone know what just happened to me?

Proxima and Mary Celes are DLC. So create a japanese PSN acount and find someone to buy you japanese PSN card. Their armor are a separate DLC, as are their scenarios.

Advance warning/pardon to people who stress over spoilers:







~The battling suspension was finally lifted, but a bomb went off inside the Game Center right smack when Jinpei dragged you there to attend the grand reopening. Amidst the confusion, you find a strange Shinki who isn't among the established models. Upon reactivating, the Shinki is able to identify herself as a Justice-type, but cannot remember much else.

Jinpei tries to look up which company made Justice, but draws up a blank. He suggests that you consult Ookuni (the guy with the jagged 'do) about it, since he's pretty much the de facto bigwig in Shinki Battling at the moment.

Upon meeting Ookuni, he expresses surprise over this discovery and asks you to test Justice's compatibility with the Ride System. The system rejects her, confirming that she isn't a recognized model. Ookuni advises you to look after Justice for now and even give her a name, since it would be a learning experience for you as the F1 Champ.

After Ookuni leaves, Tamako spies a locket where he was standing. Inside is a picture of a certain familiar-looking orange-haired woman...

ALSO SPOILER ALERT: so is there any way for me to use her im battle? she is so cute! and its a real shame i cant use her that i know of, also this poped up: Image i defeated it and it went away, then it returned, and this cycle seems to be continuing(its shreiking is awfull!) its not the mror shinki i think because it wont reflect anything about me when i fight it, the weapons are all different and all, its just awfull! like a rogue mms naked or something
(also, this is the justice: Image isnt she pretty?)
@shikaze: im pretty sure they are in the game in battle masters mk 2 since they dont transfer as far as i know, as well as sharatang, baby razz, gabreine, renge, raptias, and artille

Edit: anyone else notice that both the girls in these pictures have similar markings and the same shape on their foreheads?

You can't use Justice while you're still going through the story. Like I said, she's incompatible with the Ride System.
finish the Mk2 arc and you'll be in for a pleasant surprise...

Also, that thing you ran into was a Mimic. While they're pretty annoying, they have exclusive weapon drops at specific places and love levels.

Trivia 1: The voice actress behind Mimic's awful shriek is the same person who gives life to the adorable Howling, Eri Kitamura.
Trivia 2: Justice and Mimic were designed by the main man responsible for Metal Gear Solid's gritty character art, Yoji Shinkawa.

The Mimic's function isn't to imitate your Shinki. It's an incomplete Shinki simulacrum designed to gather data from real-time battling. There's someone out there who wants the data for shady purposes. You'll see who as the story progresses.

Yes, Mimic is also unlockable. But you have to fight one first in the clear game part before you can use them. They have no base equipment, exclusive rail or preferred weapon though.

Just because they're featured in-game doesn't mean you'll be able to unlock Proxima and Maryceles. They were DLC in Battle Masters 1 and that's not gonna change for this one. The appearances of prior DLC Shinki were enacted by Konami not only to increase the rival roster, they're also a sales pitch of sorts.
