(QP/MP/FK for example); each button
varies the special move's speed, distance,
number of hits and even size.

==================
A feature that is only accessible in

Move which can be performed when a fighter
reaches a low amount of health as an ultra

=============
Weapon Meter:
=============
A health bar located at the bottom of
the screen for both fighter's weapons.
When either fighter successfully blocks
their opponent's attack, their Weapon
Meter decreases accordingly.
When a fighter's Weapon Meter is fully
depleted (as a penalty for being too
defensive during the match) the fighter
will automatically lose their weapon and
be forced to fight unarmed for the
remainder of the fight (all rounds

In Arcade or Special, choose "GAME
START" mode. Now, at the character
selection screen, hover over any
fighter and choose their costume color.
While holding the button for the color
chosen, press Left or Right to alternate
the fighter's skin tone.

(or waiting for the counter to reach
zero will confirm the fighter's change
in costume color and skin tone.
==============
Beginner mode:
==============
Hold L2 and R2 at the Special version of
"GAME START" mode's character selection
screen to change the game's settings to
"Beginner mode".
===================================
Fight against Chougai (first form):
===================================
Defeat all regular opponents in
"GAME START" mode under Arcade or
Special settings.
====================================
Fight against Chougai (second form):
====================================
Defeat Cho Gai (first form) in Arcade or
Special modes with a minimum setting of
three rounds (default).
=====================================
Avoid fighting Chougai (second form):
=====================================
In the options menu, set the number of
rounds to one. Once Chougai is defeated
in his first form, he will be unable to
transform into his final form making
Arcade or Special modes easier to defeat.
========================
Fight against Koenshaku:
========================
Defeat all regular opponents in
"GAME START" mode under Special
settings without losing once under
any difficulty.
After all regular opponents have been
Defeated, Koenshaku will appear as
a special sub-boss before Chougai.
=========================
Koenshaku character data:
=========================
When hacking the Arcade port of Suiko
Enbu, it is possible to locate an
unfinished character known as "Koenshaku".
Unlike the horse-back riding boss that
appears in the console ports, this version
of Koenshaku is simply a glitched Shishin
with Chougai's undead skintone.
It is believed that the character Koenshaku
was originally planned to be part of the
Arcade port yet, for some reason only made
it to Suiko Enbu's "special" mode.
