I recently discovered the Japanese version of the Arcade Street Fighter EX2 (NOT the Plus version) has different endings for Shadowgeist, Kairi, Nanase, Hokuto, and Skullomania if you fight a secret last boss after Garuda. The secret last boss is usually Shadowgeist or Kairi.
However, I have no idea how to trigger that secret battle. There’s little info on the internet about the game even having multiple paths for certain characters, much less how to trigger those secret battles.
So, does anyone have any concrete idea about how to unlock those fights?
The strange thing is that there’s a youtube video of someone getting the extra fights for Kairi, Shadowgeist and Skullomania, but I’ve tried everything he has done and I don’t get anything.
Yeah without knowing the criteria for it, it can be quite perplexing. Whether it is consecutive KOs, number of perfects, number of excel finishes, minimum excel combo hit counter (ie perform a 15 hit excel combo), combo length in general.
Add in the fact that if they did it like Garuda’s hidden match in EX1, those requirements might be different from character to character.
Maybe it is released to the number of complete points after a round. The first guy got up to 80,000 points. Chanwa in the 2nd video broke 32000 after beating Garuda. Maybe 30k is the threshold?
Someone gave me this information, and I’ll leave it here in case someone comes looking for the same info. I won’t be testing it since I’m tired of the game already and my fingers still hurt from all the tests I made.
"You have to enter a set of codes when the scoreboard is shown during attract mode.
Press Light Punch (LP), Medium Punch (MP), Medium Kick (MK), Light Kick (LK), Start, Heavy Punch (HP), MP, MK, and HK
This will cause the message “PUB1 SET” to be displayed on the lower right corner.
Press MP, HP, HK, MK, Start, LP, HP, HK, LK
This will cause the message “PUB2 SET” to be displayed on the lower right corner.
This will guaranteed that you’ll face at least two rivals in single player mode."
