oh yeah that. that's a Rival match. which you get by beating five strages without getting knocked out.

when that happens the New Challenger screen (which resembles EBS screens, as mentioned above) appears and a rival of sorts appears and the match changes. kinda like the special fights in Vampire Savior which you get when finshing three rounds with an EX move.

the Rival is of the same side as your main, usually with a relation to them in-story (for example, Valeria's rival is Ran, a reference to VSRFX Gaiden - By your side, For that Kind Person).
