Easter Eggs

  1. Rotate Camera Angle

    After winning a match and your character does their victory pose, you can press the left stick in, then move it around to angle the camera differently. If you press the right stick then move it around, it zooms in and out.
  2. Slow Mo Replay

    Once you win a match hold X+A+B until the replay starts. You should then be able to rewind/slow mo the action with the Y button.
  3. Naming your X-Box

    Place 1st in Single Survival mode. Whatever name you type in, becomes the name of your X-Box.

    Example: If you get 1st and you type in Maxwell, your X-Box will now be called Maxwell.

Secrets

    If you select your character and costume with the ''X'' button most will have an alternate color. Lei Feng has 3 different dress colors based on which button you press (X,Y, or A).

Glitches

  1. Health Restore in Survival

    When playing in survival mode, press 'start' on a second controller. You will go to a 2-player .vs battle. Defeat the non-moving opponent, and select 'return'. Your health will be fully restored, and your 'wins' count will not reset.
  2. No Status Glitch

    This can only be done in single sparring mode not tag. After selecting your character as well as the cpu's, select any stage and pause the game to get sparring menu then select exercise this will switch to exercise mode go to the exercise menu by simply hitting pause again. Go to the command list you should be on the first page called ''attacks'', scroll to the very bottom of it then select that last attack command by hitting the ''A'' button you know you selected it as the command move will stay highlighted. finally flip to the ''down-attacks'' page and unpause the game. If you did it right you should see no status data. To return to normal just switch back to sparring mode.
