Looping replay:
Press Triangle during a replay to play it again.

Hint: Bukaryu: Super combo:
Press Up + Square, Forward, Circle(5),
L1. This will take a large amount of health from your opponent.
It can kill someone if you do damage before you execute it. Sometimes
during the Circle part of the combo, the opponent will
turn around and thus it will not work.


Hint: Jenny: Extra damage with Beast grapple:

When in bat form, when you grapple, hold Triangle
to do double damage.


Hint: Mitsuko: Wall slam attack:
Keep pressing Down + Circle, then when
you want to do the move press Down/Forward + Circle.
This does major damage if done frequently. It is most effective
in survival mode because the opponents will barely have time to
attack you.


Hint: Raise Beast Change: bar:
While fighting someone, if you want to raise your Beast
Change bar up more quicker, just keep pressing Circle (Beast
Change) to get it up at least one bar full each time.


Hint: Nearly unblockable Beast Drive:
Press Down/Forward, Down/Forward, Circle
with Stun in Beast form to do a Beast Drive that hits about 90%
percent of the time.


Glitch: Punch at nothing:
While in practice mode, press Start and turn
the "Counter Attack" on and get in a certain range of
your opponent. When in that range, do a punch or kick and your
opponent will just punch at thin air.


Glitch: Wrong shadows:
The shadows of the characters in "sunny"
stages stay human-shaped, even after you Beast Change.



Glitch: Jump out of arena:
On the second (if you won) or last (if both opponents
won once), knock someone out of the arena. Just before the person
hits the ground out of the arena, press Up + Circle.
You should jump out of the arena. If not, you were either too
far from the edge, at the edge, or did not do it at the correct
time. You must do it close to the edge, but not on it. On some
arena's you will catch on fire while doing the winning pose.
