- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Play as Grendal : Starting in 2-player mode, one player must have 3 wins. Then on your next match in the select screen go to the Executioner and hold down START+EVADE. Grendal will appear. Continue to hold down those buttons and press an attack button to select. Now you control the RAGE known as Grendal!
* Pojo Code : To be POJO, you must perform TARIA's execution in 1-player mode (and then continuing) or in 2-player mode. Then on your next match in the select screen, go to Taria and hold down START+EVADE. POJO will appear - press an attack button to select. Pojo will now unleash her awesome fighting prowess for you.
* Stage Codes : To unlock each secret, move to each character listed and press Start after each one, then go to your desired character and select as usual. All of these secrets are for two-player mode except for the Random A.I.
Battle in a Mini Golf Course (Koyasha, Mordos Kull, Takeshi)
Battle at Machu Pichu (Namira, Koyasha, Taria)
Battle in the Castle (Mordos Kull, Taria, Ragnar)
Battle in San Francisco Rush (Xiao Long, Al' Rashid, Koyasha)
Battle in Big Head Mode (Ragnar, Al' Rashid, Takeshi)
Battle in Micronaut Mode (Takeshi, Al' Rashid, Ragnar, Xiao Long)
Battle in Super Speed Grid Mode (Ichiro, Xiao Long, Koyasha)

To select a particular stage in which to fight, go to the character's portrait in player select and press START four times. Then select your character as usual.
* Cool View For Mordos Kull's Execution : Do a Execution on Taria's Stage in the Water. You get to see an overview of the execution and the person's body will come flying towards you.
