Uploaded June 2023 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
This is a play-through using "Old" Balrog (the previous SSFII version of him) in the Arcade version of Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge. Read on below for more information...
Old/SSFII Balrog (boxer) is a another version of the regular Balrog. He is a hidden playable character.
NOTE: 1 Continue used deliberately to avoid CPU Akuma at the end.
===== HOW TO SELECT OLD/SSFII BALROG =====
On the character select screen, select Balrog with any button, and immediately input Right, Left, Left, Right and then press LP or LP + LK.
If you've done it correctly you'll hear Balrog's voice and his portrait colours will change into his original ones.
===== MOVELIST =====
Key: B = Back; F = Forward; D = Down; U = Up; 3P = all 3 Punches together; 3K = all 3 Kicks together
THROW
-- Head Crasher: when close, F + MP/HP or B + MP/HP
SPECIAL MOVES
-- Dash Straight: charge B, then F + P
-- Dash Upper: charge B, then F + K
-- Turn Punch: hold 3P or 3K, then release
-- Buffalo Headbutt: charge D, then U + P
===== OLD/SSFII BALROG DIFFERENCES =====
As this is the old SSFII version of him, it means that he does not the Super Combo gauge, which of course means that he does not have the Crazy Buffalo moves. Special moves-wise, he doesn't have the Dash Low punches.
Regarding other differences, one of the these is that his Dash Straight special move hits crouching opponents... the new version of him doesn't. This gives Old Balrog a significant advantage regarding this move.
===== ABOUT BALROG =====
Probably the most famous fighting game boxer (in a non-boxing-focused game of course)... back in SFII:WW he was clearly designed to reference Mike Tyson, and the chance of a potential lawsuit from him is the reason on why Capcom USA switched around the names of 3 of the bosses.
In comparison to his WW, CE and HF appearances, the SSFII version of him gained a load of new animation/normals for his crouching and jumping attacks, making him a more rounded-out and flexible character. A new special move is also added in the form of the Buffalo Headbutt, which is a great anti-air with invincibility properties at start-up that allows him to escape/dodge projectiles. For SSFIIX/SSFIIT, he gains two new low dash punches, as well as a Super Combo.
It's also interesting on how his new SSFII/SSFIIX in-gameplay animations/spritework kind of "doesn't match" his old spritework.

![Kaiser Knuckle (JPN) [Arcade] - play as General](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QAxWQlBsGBc/mqdefault.jpg "Kaiser Knuckle (JPN) [Arcade] - play as General
This is a playthrough of single-player mode using General in the Arcade game Kaiser Knuckle. Read on below for more information...
General is the hidden true final boss in this game. He is a non-selectable character.
For demonstrations of his other things see the BONUS timestamps in the Chapters section below.
ABOUT GENERAL
General is the commander of a space station in orbit, and is the sponsor of The Kaiser Knuckle tournament. His reasons for holding the competition is a mystery.
GAMEPLAY BOSS PROPERTIES
As General is an unplayable boss character, he will of course have moves that are extremely powerful, fast and have high priority; and/or be performed via unorthodox command inputs. Some of these include:
- A super-fast low sliding sweep that travels a large distance and hits multiple times if blocked.
- His three Special moves are his Normals, performed via simultaneous 2-button presses (which would give a regular character the strength 4 and strength 5 Normal punches/kicks).
- His two aura attack special moves instantly come out without delay and inflicts high damage.
TECHNICAL/ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- On the character select screen, when General is highlighted, his icon on the wheel is of Gekkou.
- In single-player mode, after he is selected and begins the game, he uses Marcos prologue story. You will only see this in the Japanese version of the game (the version I am playing in the video).
- After he loses a match, on the losing screen when his body moves up, it turns into and uses Marcos body sprite, but keeping his color palette which makes it looked glitched. This fault occurs because General is never supposed to appear on the losing screen. You can see this starting around 24:26 in the video.
- When playing as the General, on the VS screen, before it enters the fight screen, he will crash and reset the game because he has no entrance routine programmed in. You can see this starting around 26:29. This is because he isnt meant to appear on the VS screen. You must skip/bypass the VS screen to progress. What is interesting is that the first part of the routine has been made (where he gets up from sitting).
- He only has the one colour palette we see in the video.
- Despite being an unplayable character, he operates perfectly on the Continue screens.
- His Super Punch, Extreme Punch and Extreme Kick (which are his Normals by pressing two attack buttons together) are his Special Moves!
- On Marcos stage/background, when the area to the right is broken and accessed, General appears on a TV monitor in this area.
- On the hidden final stage against General, the player General enters the fight screen in the same way as the CPU General!
TRIVIA
- Generals aura special moves could have been inspired by M. Bisons hand auras from SFII.
- In the game, in the invite text of the prologue, the world Knuckle is spelled as Knucle.
- The USA version of the game is known as Global Champion. As well as the title text, the title screen is also different in it.
- Kazuya, Lihua and Liza had their character select/versus screen portrait/icon images changed/edited in the non-Japanese versions of the game.
- In the non-Japanese versions of the game, the doctor/ambulance guy who runs in after a match is removed.
- In the non-Japanese versions of the game, the character prologues have been removed.
ABOUT KAISER KNUCKLE
Kaiser Knuckle is a game released in 1994, where the structure of the roster is somewhat loosely based on Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - and that is with 9 selectable characters and 3 unplayable bosses. Because of this structure, General is a character that sort of reminds me of M. Bison in a way... only in terms of him being in a soldiers uniform and the whole army getup.

![Super Street Fighter II [Arcade] - play as Vega](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QiHlN8DSANE/mqdefault.jpg "Super Street Fighter II [Arcade] - play as Vega
This is a playthrough using Vega (claw) in the Arcade version of Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. Read on below for more information...
Vega is the 2nd of 4 bosses in this game, and he is a regular playable character.
NOTE: Continues used in this playthrough, some losses cut out to save time and to keep file sizes low.
ABOUT VEGA
Probably the most famous fighting game narcissist... his design is most certainly unique - a combination of a matador and a ninja. In comparison to his WW, CE and HF appearances, he gained a whole load of new normals and two new special moves for SSF2. He really developed as a far more rounded-out and flexible character to the point that he was almost like an entirely new character.
GAMEPLAY
Vega may be one of the fastest and long-ranged characters in the game, but to balance this out, his damage output has always been generally lower when compared to most of the other characters in the game.
SPECIAL MOVES
Rolling Crystal Flash: charge B, then F + P
Sky High Claw: charge D, then UB or U or UF + P , during attack, can also P
Barcelona Attack: charge D, then UB or U or UF + K, after wall:
..........Claw Wing: P
..........Suplex: when close to opponent, F or B or D or U + P
Double Backflip: 3P
Single Backflip: 3K
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Being the 2nd boss, hell always appear as the 10th opponent when the player plays through Arcade Mode.
Being a set boss character in Arcade Mode, you get to have a mirror match against him if you select him as your character to play as.
The bosses and E.Honda are the only characters who do not have a unique backwards walking animation in the SF2 series.
He is known as Balrog in Japan.
To determine him, fighting game players refer to him as claw.
If he blocks enough times, his claw will be detached.
In SSF2 and SSF2T, even when he is on his own background (Spain), he does not climb the fence when performing his Barcelona Attack. This also means that a CPU-controlled Vega has to use the side wall Barcelona Attack as well.
If the player plays through the game as Vega in his default colour palette (Jab), when you reach CPU Vega, the CPU Vega will use the second (Strong/CE) colour instead. This means that there is no instance where the CPU Vega can use any other colour palette besides the Default (WW) and Strong (CE) colours.
In gameplay, his claw switches to his other arm when he switches sides. This is due to the functionality of 2D sprite management (unless another complete set of unique sprites are created with his claw on his other arm for facing one way).
Regarding his ending sequence, the image of him holding the mask (the first picture) was not in the SNES port. Also in the SNES port, the second picture of his face and the leaping Vega wasnt a whole picture - they were separate items where it first shows Vegas face, then the leaping Vega would scroll in.
ABOUT ARCADE SSFII
As the previous games World Warrior, Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting ran on the CPS-1 hardware with the same base, SSFII was the first proper rebuild or refresh of the game, running on the CPS-II hardware. Almost everything besides the gameplay character sprites has been redrawn, and the character portrait and icon images are completely new. Many of the ending images are also new and/or have been redrawn. The bosses receive proper endings. The superior sound hardware is evident in the new music, voices and sound effects (although some may prefer the previous three games sounds of course).
The most significant new feature is the addition of the four new characters Cammy, Feilong, Deejay and T.Hawk, which of course also brings along four new stages/backgrounds and BGMs.
The gameplay speed reverts back to the CE-esque speed after the fast pace of the previous game Hyper Fighting. This resulted in some complaints of SSF2 being too slow, in which the next game in the series rectified.

![Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Ogre II / True Ogre](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RDrtAdi1Da0/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Ogre II / True Ogre
This is a playthrough using Ogre II / True Ogre in the Arcade version of Tekken 3. Read on below for more information...
Ogre II is the final boss of the game, and this is his 2nd form. He is a time-release unlockable playable character.
NOTE: Continues used and some cut out to save time and keep video file size low.
HOW TO SELECT OGRE II
From the games first power on, Ogre II will be selectable in 114 days. Prior to that youll get the ENHANCED OGRE COMING SOON message in 109 days.
OGRE II STORY
The 2nd form of him, called True Ogre, is basically a beast. When in this form he loses the ability to speak and acts like a wild beast, however he also gains the ability to fly and breathe fire. This form of him was eventually defeated by Jin Kazama after Paul Phoenix beat the 1st form of Ogre and left the scene early.
OGRE II GAMEPLAY
Like Ogre I, this guys fighting style is basically an amalgamation of moves from various other Tekken characters... mostly ones from the prequels who are not present in Tekken 3. Such characters include Baek, Wang, Bruce, Jun, Lee, Kazuya, Kunimitsu, Ganryu and Armor King. In the Arcade version here, Anna is among these characters because her actual character/moveset isnt in this version of the game.
Ogre II / True Ogre does have some unique moves of his own however, and these moves include the two fire-breathing moves, a series of tail attacks, a horn attack and a flying swoop move when he gets up from the ground. He loses the Ancient Power move that the 1st form of him has though.
INFORMATION / TRIVIA
In the Arcade version of the game, there is a glitch whereby on the first occasion you get to Ogre II and you lose to him and Continue, youll only fight Ogre II (without fighting Ogre I anymore) if you use subsequent Continues. The glitch here is that despite fighting Ogre II, only Ogre Is music theme will play, meaning that Ogre IIs music theme never plays.
In the Arcade version of the game, he is never referred to as True Ogre unlike in the PS1 version of it.
In the Arcade version of the game, he is reportedly referred to as Enhanced Ogre in the time-release messages.
In single-player mode, if the player uses Heihachi and beats 1st form Ogre, Ogre will absorb Jins power instead of Heihachi to become Ogre II / True Ogre.
Whenever his second form (Ogre II / True Ogre) is in battle, the stage background will always be pitch black except for the ground. The darkness can be removed via third party methods.
He and an advanced version of him appears in the Devil Within mode in the PS2 version of Tekken 5.
In single-player mode, he still fights against himself as the last boss.

![Art of Fighting 1 [Arcade] - King in 1P mode](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ra_SBu8TLxU/mqdefault.jpg "Art of Fighting 1 [Arcade] - King in 1P mode
This is a play-through of 1-player mode using King in the Arcade version of Art Of Fighting 1. Read on below for more information...
King is the 4th enemy character in the 1-player Story Mode. She is a playable character, but she can only be used in 2-player versus matches.
HOW TO SELECT KING
She is available on the character select screen whenever youre in 2-player versus mode.
KING MOVES
Special Moves
Venom Strike: QCF + Kick
Furious Kick: QCB + Kick
Flying Strike: DB, F + Kick
KING GAMEPLAY
She is one of the weaker characters against the CPU opponents, mostly due to her damage output being relatively lower... her jumping kick, which the kick is upwards, doesnt help either. Her Venom Strike comes out fast, but her Flying Strike takes a while to come out.
KING INFORMATION
She does not have a Super nor a Desperation move.
After the Bonus Games, if it shows the Ryo or Robert special move advice commands, you cannot see her demonstrations but can hear her sounds.
In the Bonus Game where you need to perform the Haou Shoukou Ken multiple times, she obviously cannot pass it as she doesnt have the move.
After the Bonus Games, the text box can be blank for certain outcomes and it plays a wrong voice. And when it shows the Robert car scene, the text box is blank and the wrong text is shown at the bottom.
As this is the original version of the game, the game shows the ending after the 3rd Bonus round. You can see this happen in the video with the Ice Pillar Smash and the Haou Shoukou Ken training. This means that John Crawley is her final opponent.
TRIVIA
The debut game of King.
If she is defeated by being knocked out by an opponents Special Move, parts of her costume will be ripped.
When she is knocked down, she has the iconic yell and scream voice.
King has the same birthday date with Mature and Shingo Yabuki.
Some sources speculate that her real name is Claire, but there has been nothing from SNK that suggests this.
She is the only character in the Art of Fighting series to have the same voice actress in all of her game appearances (in her source games and in The King of Fighters games).
THE ORIGINAL GAME
The version of Art of Fighting 1 seen in this video is the original version. As it is the original version, it means that glitches, halts, freezes and crashes can potentially happen when playing as enemy and boss characters in a 1-player game. These problems occur because of the Bonus Games, and there are ways to get round this within the game as you long as you know how. Also, you dont get to fight Mr. Karate when playing as the enemy characters.

The game features impressively large 2D sprites for its time. The AOF series, with its usage of graphical zooming, music style, sound effects and voices, has always gave you that intense and stylish atmospheric feel in fights.

![Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as P. Jack](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RwG7Mw9t1_A/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as P. Jack
This is a playthrough of Arcade Mode using P. Jack in the PS1 version of Tekken 1. Read on below for more information...
Prototype Jack is the sub-boss for Jack in the game. He is an unlockable playable character in the normal version of it.
ABOUT THE BOSS EDITION
To put it simply, this is the normal game as usual but with the major difference being that the bosses icons appear on the character select screens instead of the regular characters. The 2P Play Mode character select screen also has this change whereby it replaces the regular characters texts.
The interesting thing is that the final boss Heihachi replaces the slot of Kazuya... logically you would think that only the sub-bosses would appear here right? Heihachi being present here results in Kunimitsu not appearing on this screen.
Note that the sub-bosses icon slot appearances here do not replace/match their regular starting character counterparts (for example Anna would replace Ninas slot), meaning that its not a structured appearance. Instead, they are of the same order as when they are all unlocked in the normal version of the game.
The bosses icons on this screen are not just aesthetical... they actually function and do give you the chosen boss when you select them here. Think of it as the bosses being the main characters this time.
I find it rather interesting because normally the bosses icons are never shown on the character select screen (you normally move the cursor off the side of the screen to select the bosses after theyre unlocked).
BOSS EDITION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- If you select a boss this way and use him/her to beat Arcade Mode, it does not unlock their regular counterpart.
- As mentioned earlier, Kunimitsu is the only boss that does not appear on the character screen due to Heihachi appearing.
P. JACK INFORMATION
- HOW TO UNLOCK P. JACK IN THE NORMAL VERSION OF THE GAME:
Beat Arcade Mode with Jack. P. Jack will then be available on the character select screen by scrolling off the side of the grid.
ABOUT P. JACK
As a robot character, the regular Jack having an alternative prototype design of him as a personal sub-boss is a clever idea. In Tekken 1 he looks more wacky, particularly his default costume... its like as if he is pieced together with various metal and devices. He has a vastly different conservative look in Tekken 2, of which has now become his staple design as his appearances in TTT1 and TTT2 shows.
GAMEPLAY
He is another derivative of Jack... with one of the extra moves being Pauls hammer & smasher. That, along with one of his throws, I dont actually remember any other gameplay differences between him and regular Jack (there probably is more). Another thing is that his range of attack isnt actually that good, despite looking as if it is.
ABOUT PS1 TEKKEN 1
This version of the game is virtually arcade perfect, even bettering the Arcade version in a lot of ways, such as:
1) The sub-bosses and Heihachi being made to be unlockable playable characters. They are unplayable in the Arcade version.
2) Extra/new and unique moves for the bosses.
3) A new alternative costume for each of the bosses.
4) FMV endings for the regular characters.
5) Offering an excellent Arranged soundtrack.
The minor downside however is that the character portraits on the select screen are static when you select/confirm them, unlike in the Arcade where they had animation. This is probably done to cut loading times.

This is a playthrough using Repli (Replicant) in the Saturn game Battle Arena Toshinden URA. Read on below for more information...
Repli is the mid-boss and penultimate boss of the game, and he is an unlockable playable character.
HOW TO UNLOCK REPLI & WOLF
On the main title screen where it says Press Start Button, press the following: A, B, Z, X, Y, C.
If youve done it correctly, youll hear a sound. Repli and Wolf will now be available on the character select screen.
Key: QCF = Quarter Circle Forward; QCB = Quarter Circle Back; DP = Dragon Punch motion; BDP = Backwards Dragon Punch motion; HCB = Half Circle Back; [S] = any Slash; [WS] = Weak Slash; [HS] = Heavy Slash; [WK] = Weak Kick; [HK] = Heavy Kick; [K] = any Kick
SPECIAL MOVES
Double Fireball: QCF + [S]
Eiji Helicopter: DP + [S]
Somersault Slice: QCB + [S]
Kayin Helicopter: BDP + [S]
Splits: QCB + [K]
Kneedrop: QCF + [WK]
Rise & Dive Kicks: QCF + [HK]
Slide: DF + [K]

Somersault Kick: in the air, D, U + [K]
Suicide: dont know
SUPER MOVES
Desperation Move: HCB, HCF + [HS] (requires low life/flashing lifebar)
Overdrive: [Z] + [C] when Overdrive gauge is full/active
Final Technique: dont know, but pressing [Z] + [C] WITHOUT the Overdrive gauge does it (you also need the Easy Special Attacks cheat enabled for this)
ABOUT REPLI
Repli is a robotic copy of Sho Shinjo, created by Ronron. It is meant to be a prototype in a series of battle androids meant for the purpose of law enforcement. However the robot was stolen by Ronrons superior, Wolf. Wolf then reprogrammed it into becoming a ruthless slaying machine, with the goal of creating an army of Replicant androids to use in conquering the world. Repli was eventually defeated by the real Sho Shinjo with minimal fuss.
GAMEPLAY
As a clone character, Repli obviously plays just like Sho... the pair also have identical movelists. The main difference between the two is that Repli has faster speed for some of his movements, Normals, Specials and Supers, meaning that these moves come out faster and have quicker recovery. This probably makes him better than the real Sho.
BONUS FIGHT
Due to beating the game without using Continues has resulted in the hidden boss fight against Sho after the credits. You can see this starting around 29:07 in the video.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Though URA is an abbreviation for Ultimate Revenge Attack, the word Ura also has combat connotations in Japanese.
ABOUT BAT URA
This is the sequel to Toshinden Remix (on the Saturn), and is basically a special version of the original Toshinden 2 (which appeared on the PS1, PC and Arcade), with many differences. These differences include: a different plot that is seen as a side-story; new characters; new CGI; new stage backgrounds, along with new BGMs for the new characters. Even though there are new characters, the drawback is that the original BAT2 characters Gaia, Chaos, Master and Uranus were removed.")
![Super Street Fighter II X [Arcade] - OLD M.Bison](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tab-H3lDvas/mqdefault.jpg "Super Street Fighter II X [Arcade] - OLD M.Bison
This is a play-through using Old M.Bison (the previous SSFII version of him) in the Arcade version of Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge. Read on below for more information...
Old/SSFII M.Bison is a hidden version of the regular Bison. He is a hidden playable character.
NOTE: 1 Continue used.
HOW TO SELECT OLD/SSFII M.BISON
On the character select screen, select M.Bison with any button, and immediately input Down, Up, Up, Down and then press LP or LP + LK.

Scissor Kick: charge B, then F + K
Head Stomp: charge D, then U + K, if connected, afterwards can guide using F or B
........ Skull Diver: P when being guided after head stomp
Devil Reverse: charge D, then U + P
OLD/SSFII M.BISON DIFFERENCES
As this is the old SSFII version of him, it means that he does not the Super Combo gauge, which of course means that he does not have the Knee Press Nightmare. Regarding Special Moves, he loses the Fake Head Stomp. Regarding normals, he loses the jumping Strong juggle abilities.
ABOUT M.BISON
Probably the most famous fighting game boss character, and the staple Street Fighter villain. He has one of the most unique and distinct fighting styles.
In comparison regarding his previous appearances in WW, CE and HF, he gained a lot of new basics as well as a new Special Move, and even has his own voice in SSF2. In SSFIIX/SSF2T, he has a new Super Combo move and some juggle techniques. He really developed as a much more rounded-out and flexible character in the Super series.
OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Old Bison has two colour palettes. The first is the original World Warrior colours; and the second are unique colours that is specially made for Old Bison.
The second unique colour palette is made specially for SSFIIX/SSF2T.
There is no instance in the game where the CPU is in control of Old Bison.
He is the only character who has animation in his portrait image when he is the loser on the Winner/Loser screen.
The Arcade version of SSFIIX/SSFIIT is first game in the SFII series where M.Bisons punch auras no longer flashes. This means that the last game in the SFII series where M.Bison has flashing animation in his punch aura graphics is SSFII.
He is the first character in the Street Fighter series to have a pre-fight intro in the gameplay screen.
The bosses and E.Honda are the only characters who do not have a unique backwards walking animation in the SF2 series.
He is known as Vega in Japan.

![Shadow Warriors [3DO] - play as Shadow King](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TiyO1AVg0TI/mqdefault.jpg "Shadow Warriors [3DO] - play as Shadow King
This is a playthrough using Shadow King in the 3DO game Shadow: War of Succession. Read on below for more information...
Shadow King is the end boss of the game, and he is an unlockable playable character.
HOW TO SELECT SHADOW KING
The method of unlocking him is rather unorthodox. Heres how to do it:
1) Play through a single-player game and reach CPU Shadow King. When fighting him, press Play on the other controller to have Player 2 join in.
2) On the character select screen, you will find that Player 2s cursor is on Shadow Kings icon (you normally cannot highlight this icon). Select him. Player 2 is now Shadow King.
Alternatively to make Player 1 Shadow King, get to CPU Shadow on Player 2s side instead, and during the match press Play on Player 1s controller to have Player 1 join in.
SHADOW KING IN SINGLE-PLAYER MODE
You can use Shadow King in the single player mode. Do the above process and use the player Shadow King to defeat the other player. Do NOT have the other player Continue. You will then get to play through the game with Shadow King.
SHADOW KING MOVES
Throw: when close, Back + A
Reverse Kick: Forward + B
Sweep: Back + B
Fireball: Forward, Forward + C
Hurricane Kick: Back + C or hold Back and press C
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
He cannot block high.
In a 2-player game, if he is defeated, you get to see the other characters (the one who beat him) ending!
He has an ending of his own, meaning that he is meant to be played through a single-player game.
He has an alternative dark colour palette for mirror matches (against CPU Shadow King).
His aesthetics contrast the other characters as he is a cartoon design instead of real human. The same goes for his stage background elements.
There might be a hidden input command to highlight Shadow Kings icon on the character select screen to freely and immediately select him.
I dont know his finishing move(s) if he has any.
The game is known as Shadow Warriors in Japan.

![Turtles Tournament Fighters [SNES] - play as Clone Leo](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tmz4sDp25mM/mqdefault.jpg "Turtles Tournament Fighters [SNES] - play as Clone Leo
This is a playthrough using Clone Leo in Tournament mode in the SNES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Read on below for more information...
Clone Leo is a character who appears only in Story Battle mode as a CPU opponent for Leonardo. He is an non-selectable character.
ABOUT THE CLONES
In the games coding, there is a flag/state which embeds itself into the Turtle characters. It is usually only used on a CPU-controlled Turtle character for the mirror match in Story Battle mode. Therefore, this means that they are not separate characters.
When the flag/state is on/applied, it implements the following features to the character:
1) Applies a unique purple colour palette
2) Applies a unique colour palette to his projectiles
3) Sets a unique lifebar image icon
The characters gameplay/voices/endings/etc. however are identical to the regular Turtles.
OTHER INFORMATION
As a hidden input command is needed to use Ultimate Attacks in Story Battle mode, it means that not many people will have seen the CPU Clone turtles use their Ultimate Attacks.
During Clone Leos Ultimate Attack, his fist aura projectiles are human flesh coloured with red energy. You can see this many times in the video, such as at 10:36. This is very different to normal Leos fist aura projectile colours, which are light green/blue with blue energy.
When the Clone turtles appear in Story Battle mode, they fight on a unique background/stage, which is a daytime version of the Sky Palace. This stage is non-selectable in Stage Select.
The same purple clone turtle concept is also used in the Mega Drive version of the game. This tradition was also used in other Turtles-related games as well.
TRIVIA
Regarding Aska, a certain item of attire is more revealing in the Japanese version.
Regarding Aska, she has a different and more animated winning pose in the Japanese version.
Regarding Aska, she was originally meant to be named Mitsu as an early beta version of the game shows.
The game is on three platforms - the NES, SNES and Genesis. However, the three games are significantly different to each other.
The USA version of the game came first, with the Japanese version following later.
In the Japanese version of the game, there are differences such as balance changes, new voice clips from Turtles in Time, a breakable wall extending the arena in the Studio 6 stage, and the ability to select the alternate colour palette by using the Start button on the select screen.
The European version uses Hero instead of Ninja in the games title.
