    TIPS AND TRICKS
    • Slow motion replay:
    Hold Punch + Kick + Dodge immediately after winning a round. This may only be done once per game.

    • Replay taunt:
    Hold Punch, Kick, or Dodge during a replay. Another taunt is available if a round is won in less than ten seconds.

    • View credits:
    Hold Start during demo mode.

    • Alternate music:
    Hold Start in the brief pause before the first match of each round. Player one and two's Start butting brings up different music.

    • Alternate costumes:
    Hold Up while choosing a fighter at the character selection screen.

    • Hint; View Kage unmasked:
    Fight as Kage and win twenty consecutive matches. From now on, Kage's mask will fall off when he is knocked down.

    • Hint; Bird in Jacky's stage:
    Hold all buttons and both joysticks down during Jacky's mountain stage to bring a bird that will appear in the background. It will fly over the fighter that loses the match.

    • Hint; Shake high score screen:
    Play as Akira and get to the high score screen. Enter you initials, but do not select "End". Move Akira back as far as possible, then execute any special move.
