>>> GAME UPDATES
----------------
MVS (arcade) vs. Home (neo-geo) differences :
- Home : After the credits you will see all the characters grouped together and it will say to try a harder difficulty. If you beat it in the hardest difficulty it will say 'Perfect! It's a knockout, Superman!'.
- Home : If playing on the hardest difficulty and you fought Ryo Sakazaki, you will see all the characters moving around him in a circle while he, for some reason, is crying.

>>> TRICKS AND TIPS
-------------------
* Fight against Ryo Sakazaki : Beat the game without losing a single round (you can lose continues, but not rounds). You'll face against 'Art of Fighting''s main character Ryo Sakazaki as a powerful extra end boss!
* Beat the game without using a single continue and after the credits you will see every character performing a special move, their portraits and giving a quote.
