Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

To momentarily change to a slightly more casual topic, does anyone have a grasp of the costume unlocking mechanics in the game? Previously I thought costumes could only be unlocked through grinding through the offline modes with a character, or playing 10 ranked matches with a character, with the exception of some costumes unlocking by clearing offline modes on highest difficulty or playing a certain amount of ranked matches. There however seems to be something else also in play, since I yesterday got a message that a costume was unlocked for La Mariposa when I exited a lobby, and when looking I found a new costume had in fact been unlocked. I used La Mariposa in a few matches in the lobby but noticed nothing out of the ordinary, except for getting the achievment of having played 100 online matches. Is there some way of unlocking costumes also by playing in a lobby?
 
has anyone bought any of the new costumes? i want to but i don't know if people that don't own them can see them or not. if they can't then i don't want to buy them. i buy these things to show off that i have money and to show off my girls. if i can't do that then there's no point.
 
Costumes can be unlocked through time trial and arcade runs, as well as through online play. The single player runs are definitely the fastest way though.

They can't, unless they download the compatibility pack (just like SCV).

I'm still set on buying Rachel's new costume (once she gets nerfed...)
