Unsupported Behavior

During the tenth chapter of the Story Mode, the first match involving Yuka and K-2 use distinct versions of both characters, with Yuka having her eyes closed and K-2 having no sprites at all, i.e. invisible. The "blind" version of Yuka used in that bout does have a victory pose, the same as the late-chapter story mode version of her (considered a distinct character by the game's inner workings due to different sprites to accommodate red fighting gloves) but is unused by the "blind" version as the fight against the invisible K-2 is designed to be unwinnable due to lack of hitboxes.

Unused Voice Clip

Inside Manami's audio file is a voice clip which was supposed to play in the victory/lose screen. The Graphic Mode is absent in this version, therefore this voice clip is not used.
