I'm gonna try it again on The Flesh Pits stage. Maybe it is stage specific.
it's not, i figured sonya's out on the hidden forest.
i've tried doing just the same stage over and over, uppercutting on certain seconds of the clock, certain parts of the stage (i got dan with kabal over 9000 times with b121 in the corner), launcher~uppercut, jip~uppercut, njp~uppercut, uppercut~uppercut~uppercut~..., having no meter, 1 bar, 2 bars, full meter, having 75%+ health, having 50%+ health, having 25%+ health, having 25%- health, all sorts of different factors...
dan is completely random. unless someone cracks open the game and finds whatever it is that triggers dan we'll probably be searching for a long time lol. maybe quitting when you get dan forden, like you said, resets some kind of counter or something which makes him pop up again so soon.
that was the only theory i had left. that it's a certain # of uppercuts per character, possibly per stage, or both, to get dan forden to pop up. oh, and some things dealing with height but eh, that doesn't seem like it matters much besides that they have to get launched high, a la uppercut or kabal's b121. maybe even total distance the character launched? damage taken? damage given? i don't know, lots of theories; i tried to crack dan forden forfuckingever. i even asked ed boon like 50 times on twitter but he never replied lol.

After this, ima go back to not giving a fuck about these Toasty Boosts.
at least you figured out your favorite character's
first ive heard of this code. what exactly does it do? My friend has landed kratos toasty boost atleast 3 times on the current patch of the game.
as far as i know/can tell, it does absolutely nothing lol
