- TIPS AND TRICKS -


* All characters have 2 colors, one is selected with the A button an the other one is chosen with the D button.


* Play as Sinclair : Highlight Robert and press Left (or highlight Jin and press Right(x2)).


* Play as Wyler : Highlight Robert and press Left(x2) (or highlight Jin and press Right).


* Special Day (Birthday Gift) : Definitely one of the strangest tricks in fighting games, each character will be powered up on his birthday (able to perform Super Desperation Moves at any moment during the fight!).

* Finish the game without losing a round to get a comical hand drawn picture of the character after the credits.
