] Game Modes [
] [
]############[
-- Normal mode --
pick a character and fight 9 battles to see that character's ending.
After winning a round, fans get serviced with a nice picture of the losing character.
Q. are the matches random?
A. No, each character fights a set list of the other characters, as follows:
Yuka Chiho Manami Jun Satomi Ayako Elina Kaori Reimi
---VS----|---VS----|---VS----|---VS----|---VS----|---VS----|---VS----|---VS----|---VS----
Jun Manami Ayako Elina Jun Satomi Manami Ayako Elina
Ayako Jun Elina Satomi Ayako Yuka Jun Elina Satomi
Elina Ayako Satomi Yuka Elina Chiho Ayako Satomi Chiho
Manami Elina Jun Chiho Chiho Manami Satomi Yuka Manami
Chiho Satomi Yuka Manami Manami Jun Yuka Jun Jun
Satomi Yuka Chiho Ayako Yuka Elina Chiho Manami Ayako
Yuka Chiho Manami Jun Satomi Ayako Elina Kaori Reimi
Kaori Kaori Kaori Kaori Kaori Kaori Kaori Chiho Yuka
Reimi Reimi Reimi Reimi Reimi Reimi Reimi Reimi Kaori
-- VS Mode --
Selecting this mode gives you three options:
1P Vs 2P (standard two player fighting)
1P Vs COM (fight a computer controlled opponent one match)
COM Vs COM (see if the computer can out wit itself!)
-- Story Mode --
You play as Yuka, and only Yuka. Her story is told between rounds as she talks with each
opponent, both before and after the fight. This is a more involved ending than just playing
normal mode.
The game starts at the Prologue. As you win battles you will be able to continue the story
from whichever battle you left off at.
-- Config. Mode --
> Game level
sets the level of difficulty 1 - 8 (2 being default)
> time limit
set the time limit for the rounds 45,60,90, and infinite (60 being default)
> button set
change which buttons do what
> pad check
test to see if all the buttons are working
> music select
play all the different music tracks in the game
> sound mode
stereo or mono
> Exit
exits the menu

The special edition of the game came in a large box with a puzzle for about
$85.
I can't Say for sure if there is a difference between the SE version of the
