  2. Full Screen Pause

    During the game, press START to pause. Press the R-Trigger button to get a clean game screen without the text.
  3. Uncut Demo

Now go back to the mode select screen and pick Survival Mode. Play through this mode until you get onto the top ten ranking list and put your name in as REALDEMO. Now go back to the title screen and wait until the demo starts. You will now see the uncut demo with more scenes.
  4. Taunt Opponent

    While fighting press Left, Right, Left, R button to taunt.

  6. View Hidden Cut-Scene

    Play as Ayane in Story Mode. When you get to the battle with Kasumi you must KO her on the Ice Pit, and she must be about 10 feet away from you. If done correctly, the fireball cut-scene from the Intro Movie should play.
  7. Stop victory pose camera.

    Press the ''R'' trigger when your character is in a victory pose and the camera won't move unless you use the ''change view of the victory pose'' code mentioned above.
  8. Rewind Your Replay
