Okay, I've been playing Matrimelee on and off all day today and have noticed some things about the game:
I have yet to play against White Buffalo (and Mr. Jones, but more on him below) for whatever reason, and fought a CPU Chinnen ONCE, as my first match using Keith.
As both of them have their own locker room stages where you fight a RoTD character in their place, I figured there must be some special condition to fight them, but then Chinnen finally showed up once(he has his own stage BTW; odd that it never seems to show up very often), plus I fight against Anny(third locker room stage with Elias) fairly often.
So I was messing around with the settings, and put the game in MVS mode, with the Euro-Asia region, and played 2P. Jones appears to have no stage of his own; I'm against Ume and it's her stage. But the music is different. I figure it's Jones' theme. I go to 1P mode after beating the 2P Ume, and Reiji is my opponent. Only it's not his stage; it's the lounge stage, and in the background, the singers aren't singing; they're in their fighting animation for the whole match! I turn the sound up and a BGM plays I've never heard before!
Turns out every stage with vocals now has been replaced with a more generic soundtrack, and ONLY in Euro-Asia mode(from the dip switch settings). The quality isn't as good as the normal BGM selection, but it's interesting nonetheless. I guess Noise wanted to remove the Japanese songs for European arcades, but there's no English text in arcade mode!
BTW, I heard that the game originally had air combos, but I'm not seeing anything. Were they removed, or just never there to begin with? Down and CD does act like a launcher, but you can't follow it up with anything.
Oh, and what;s the code to play as Sissy?
