Ohhhhhhhh, I think I see.

Each character can only appear in the high score table once. I wondered why it seemed to be letting me enter my intials after some games and not others.

I nearly got to the fourth round of Arcade mode just now. Nearly. But not quite. Fucking Cammy.

I’m wondering if I should learn to use a character who’s not Ryu. His basic moves are nice and simple and part of my gaming hardware after all these years.

Manual lists all the specials for all the characters, though, rather than telling you to go buy the strategy guide, which is nice. Good Capcom.

I remember buying UFC for the Dreamcast and the manual for that had biographical detail for all the fighters (height, weight, birthplace, etc.) and told you to buy the strategy guide to find out how to actually control them in game. I was, and remain, disgusted.
