I thought that these myriad of missing tournaments are just the Battle Royale ones, but when I looked again, there seemed to be around 10 (? didn't really count) more that I am missing.
Aside from the default tournaments, the Heavenly Kings tourneys, Rising Dragon, Icicle Festival, and Battle Royal, what else am I missing and how do I get them?

I imagine you don't have the Greatest 4 on your list either.
But truthfully, there is no good way for us to know what you are missing. I have a full tourney list, but it's in Japanese...

Well that's a bummer, but it seems that the tourneys are listed monthly, so I can least isolate which months are lacking. Would that help?
By Thorr on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 09:05 am:
They are also in order by Rank.
By Zekira G. Drake on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 06:04 pm:
Okay let's see...
-1 between Abyss Battle Royal (1-3) and Desert Moon Cup (2-1) -1 between Mew Battle Royal (2-2) and Aurora Cup (2-3) -1 between Spring Thunder Cup (4-2) and Flower Cup (4-3) -1 between Mocchi Battle Royal (4-4) and Rookie Cup (5-1) -1 between Strongman Cup (5-2) and Wild Cup (5-3) -2 between Lesione Battle Royal (7-3) and The Banana Ring (8-3) -1 between Naga Coliseum (9-1) and Twister Cup (9-3) -1 between Crux Cup (10-2) and Citizens' Day Memorial (10-3) -1 between Master Cup (10-4) and Elixir Memorial (11-1) -1 after 4 Seasons Cup (12-4), listed just before Official Grade E Cup
That's a total of 11 tournaments.

Quite a few of those battles only appear after unlocking certain monsters, so might be a good idea to work on them first.
By Thorr on Monday, September 13, 2010 - 08:10 am:
It looks like all the tournaments you are missing are the rank SS tournaments. This includes holly's big 4, the 4 heavenly kings, Big Bang, and several Battle Royal tourneys.

Oh wow in short, I just have to unlock all breeds and get the big 4?
...that's true, I only have 6 more breeds that I need to unlock... I was under the impression that the locked breeds' Battle Royal was already present, guess I was wrong lol.
By Thorr on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - 06:05 am:
Holly's big 4 can only be unlocked by using the specific breed for each of the 4 tournaments. Each one requires a specific monster.

"So what's the 'B' in B-1 anyway?"
"...Baku, I guess?"
"...really?"
Sorry, I laughed. What the heck, Holly.
By Zekira G. Drake on Friday, September 17, 2010 - 11:44 pm:
So I battled on B-1 right now... encountered monsters that were named Kamine, Ciara, Zeelandia, Luvles, and Holly's Tiger named Tiger.
While fighting I couldn't get that feeling out that this is all just too familiar. So I searched out some answers in the archives here...
...and I was like 'oh my' when I noticed it! Kamine = Carmine, Ciara = Siarra, Zeelandia = Zelandia, Luvles = Loveless, which are all Major 4 monsters from Monster Rancher 2! Holly's Tiger that is named Tiger, is a parody of the default name that you can give the monsters you regenerate in Monster Rancher 1.
I... what?!
By Thorr on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 01:06 pm:
Yeah. We knew that too.
The Legend Cup actually has a fair amount of the best monsters from old MR games.
