groove you will get Shin Akuma.

Defeat the Middle Boss (Geese or Bison/Vega).

(normal Akuma or Rugal). Normal Bosses appear by fulfilling two of the four 
following conditions. 

Achieve over 1000 GPS by the end of the game. 
Achieve four or more special KOs. 
Middle Boss has appeared. 
Achieve two or more LV3 super combo KOs.

One on three tag team mode
Highlighter any fighter at the character selection screen and press a button. Allow 
time to run out and the game will start in one on three tag team mode. Note: Do 
not select one on one battle mode.


Extra options
Clear Boss challenge mode with no continues. The "Extra Option" becomes 
available in the game.


Extra color edit mode options
Press Start while editing the colors for your character to display more options on 
the left side of the screen.


Infinite custom groove
Defeat all characters straight in survival mode. The custom groove option settings 
will become infinite.


Middle Boss conditions
The middle Boss appears when the following conditions are all fulfilled: 

No time over has occurred. 
The CPU has not made over six "first attacks". 
The CPU has not made three or more Special KOs.


Victory quotes
Hold Start + FP after winning a stage to make your character say an opponent 
specific quote. Hold Start + FK to make the character talk with a team member.


Getting a Finest KO
Beat up your opponent until his/her life is low enough to finish them off with a 
special KO. Stand near your opponent and wait for them to taunt you. Then, do the 
special move and you will get a finest KO. You also have to either beat the mini-
Boss, or receive 1500 GPS before you finish the final round in Osaka to get to 
Ultimate Rugal.


Easy Boss challenge mode
Choose a good fighter such as Ken or Ryu. When you are facing the last Boss, if 
you are losing by one round and there is not a lot of power remaining, press Start 
on controller two and repeat until you win. 

Use Haomaru the samurai. He looks weak and slow, but his slash and jump slash 
has a wide range and also does big damage. If you jump around with Airguard 
equipped and slash at the correct time, you will not have a problem defeating any 
Boss.


Easy survival mode
After unlocking the Extra Options, go to "Option Mode" at the main menu. Go 
to "Extra Options", select "Player One Life Gauge Type" and change it to "No 
Damage". Then, go to "Groove Gauge Type" and change it to "Infinite". After this, 
start survival mode and defeat all 46 characters without taking damage and your 
Groove Bar will always be full.


Street Fighter 2 music
Set up a match with Ryu versus Sagat in training mode. At times music from 
Street Fighter 2 will play.
