Uploaded May 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
This is a play-through using M.Bison in the Arcade version of Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge. Read on below for more information...
M.Bison is the 4th and final boss of the game. He is a regular playable character.
NOTE: 1 Continue used on purpose to avoid CPU Akuma at the end.
===== 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.
===== MOVE LIST =====
THROW
-- Deadly Throw: when close, F + MP/HP or B + MP/HP
SPECIAL MOVES
-- Psycho Crusher: charge B, then F + P
-- Scissor Kick: charge B, then F + K
-- Head Stomp: charge D, then U + K, if connected, can guide using F or B
...... Skull Diver: P when being guided after head stomp
-- Fake Head Stomp: charge D, then U or UB or UF + P
...... Devil Reverse: P during Fake Head Stomp
SUPER COMBO
-- Knee Press Nightmare: charge B, then F, B, F + K (requires super gauge)
===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====
---- Being the final boss, he'll always appear as the 12th and last opponent when the player plays through the single-player mode.
---- In single player mode on stage 12, he is the only CPU opponent to always use his default colour (Jab).
---- Being a set boss character in single-player mode, you get to have a mirror match against him if you select him as your character to play as.
---- When the CPU is in control of him, he wears a cape which he removes at the start of the 1st Round before the fight starts.
---- If the player plays through the game as M.Bison in his default colour palette, when you reach CPU Bison, the CPU Bison will use the second (Strong/CE) colour instead. This means that there is no instance where the CPU Bison can use any other colour palette besides the Default (SSFIIX) and Strong (CE) colours.
---- He is the only character who has animation in his portrait image when he is the loser on the Winner/Loser screen.
---- When the CPU controls him, it can perform an outcome of the Head Stomp which a human player can NEVER do. And this is the outcome where if his Head Stomp is blocked, he will either jump back off or jump off forward behind (it depends where the opponent is). His Swan Dive Punch after landing the Head Stomp is also a bit different to the player version of the move as well.
---- SSF2 is the last game in the SF2 series where M.Bison has flashing animation in his punch aura graphics.
---- 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.

ABOUT E.HONDA
Edmond Honda is one of the originals of the Street Fighter franchise, and he is the most well-known sumo character regarding non-sumo-based fighting games. He hasnt reached the Street Fighter-loses-something-without-him status though.

Therefore, he entered into the second World Warrior tournament with intent on showing everyone that sumo wrestlers are among the greatest fighters in the world. Beyond this, he also wants to improve his skills and to prove his own strength, as well as to earn the title of Yokuzuna.

This is a playthrough using Jin Chonrei in the Arcade version of Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory. Read on below for more information...
Jin Chonrei is the hidden true final boss of the game. He is a non-selectable character in the Neo-Geo MVS version of it.
JIN CHONREI STORY
He is the older twin brother of Jin Chonshu. Their father told them that one of their ancient ancestors was Qin Wang Long, who was a celebrated General of the founder and ruler of the Qin dynasty, Qin Shi Huang. Their father convinced them that they had the same blood as Long, and soon passed away. The brothers were then left to fend for and support themselves and live up to the family name. When they were fourteen, an attack from bullies left them in a bad state on the streets. Once they lost consciousness, two spirits of their 2200-year-old ancestors possessed their bodies.
The spirit that possessed Chonshu was known as Qin Hai Long, making the boy into a fearsome fighter in combat. The spirit that possessed Chonrei was Qin Kong Long who was Hai Longs older brother. Kong Long and Hai Long were the sons of Wang Long, who wrote the Jin scrolls during the Qin Dynasty. The brothers now seek to gather all three scrolls, which they believe will resurrect them in immortal bodies and allow them to conquer the world.
FIGHTING STYLE
His fighting style is named Teiou Ken/Diwang Quan, also known as Sovereign Fist, which consist of moves that resemble Kung Fu.
DESIGN
According to an issue of Neo Geo Freak, Chonrei was originally designed to be a person with split-personalities - a masculine and feminine side. However, the designers favored both sides equally so they abandoned this concept and created a twin brother (Chonshu) to have the feminine side.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
On the character select screen, his portrait/icon position is at the bottom left. Obviously as an non-selectable character, you wont see this and the position is not normally accessible.
When playing as him in a 1P game, you do not get the Yamazaki accident fight midway through the route.
When playing as him in a 1p game, you do not get any pre-fight cutscenes, such as the ones with Yamazaki and Chonshu at the end.
If you beat the game with him, he does not have an ending.
Despite being a non-selectable character, he actually has an alternate colour palette.
Despite being a non-selectable character, he operates perfectly on the Continue screen and can appear on the name entry screen.
He has some boss properties. Such examples being that he doesnt have any jumping punches; his Elbow Charge Throw special move being fast and overpowered; recovering very quickly from his fireballs; and some punches that hit twice.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The game is known as Garou Densetsu 3: Haruka-naru Tatakai in Japan.

ABOUT AKUMA
SSFIIX is of course, the game of Akumas debut... also technically chronologically, the Arcade version of SSFIIX is his literal first ever appearance in the franchise. After all those Sheng Long rumors, jokes and April fools, Capcom got inspired by it and decided to implement Gouki/Akuma as a hidden boss fight for SSFIIX, as well as making him a playable character via a hidden command. I am sure that the popularity of the hidden characters in Mortal Kombat 2 at the time also played a part in the inspiration too.
Despite being pretty much a head-swap clone of Ryu, he was considered to be a completely new character for the series anyway. Having a new character in the game was also important because it meant that there was something new to draw fans in, seeing as it was coming off the prequel SSFII, which had the exact same cast/roster.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On the character select, versus, result and continue screens, his portrait image is just a black silhouette.
On the result screen, even as the loser, his portrait is still the same one used in the other screens.
On the Continue screen, he is the only character in the game with no animation of his portrait image.
On the Continue screen if you press Start to continue, he has no voice. He does have the gleam though.
Being a hidden final boss, hell appear as the 12th opponent and replace M.Bison if the player plays through single-player and meets certain conditions.
Being a possible boss character in single-player mode, you get to have a mirror match against him if you select him as your character to play as.
When the CPU is in control of him, he is able to throw Double Air Fireballs, something the player version can never do.
When the CPU is controlling him, he is basically Shin Akuma, indicated by the Double Air Fireballs.
He is of course, a head-swap of Ryu for the most part.
He does not have his own voice. Instead, he uses a mixture of the other characters voices.
On the character select screen, his portrait is a black silhouette and he does not have a name.
In-fight, his icon image is simply a black square.
He does not have a Super Combo.
The CPU version of SSFIIX Akuma also has some other differences from the player version, mainly in damage infliction, hitboxes/priority, and invincibility frames. (thanks to felineki for this information)
In the Japanese version of the game, he has dialogues/quotes in his winning screens, pre-fight cutscenes and endings.
He has a special ending for when he defeats CPU Akuma at the end in single-player mode.
He is disallowed in tournaments.
The CPU difficulty is far easier in the Japanese version of the game (SSFIIX) than the Western version of it (SSF2T).
He is known as Gouki in Japan.

![Mortal Kombat II [Genesis] - play as Shao Kahn](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgqnY_zYvrE/mqdefault.jpg "Mortal Kombat II [Genesis] - play as Shao Kahn
This is a playthrough of single player mode using Shao Kahn in the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat II. Read on below for more information...
Shao Kahn is the 2nd and final boss in the game, and he is an unplayable character.
ABOUT GENESIS MK2 SHAO KAHN
Shao Kahn is an unplayable/non-selectable boss character in all official versions of MKII. Even if you used external methods (Action Replay, Game Genie, etc.) to select him and the player tried controlling him, it would cause loads of glitches and crashes, making it somewhat pointless unless you did it for curiosity and experimental purposes. Literally anything you did with him caused the game to crash, and this applies especially to the Arcade and SNES versions.
The Genesis/Mega Drive MK2 Kahn however, is a bit different because under human control, he is far more lenient than the Arcade and SNES versions of him. This means you can actually do a lot of things with him without the game freezing. The best thing is that he actually has moves that damage the opponent (which can be repeated), so that combined with the control leniency, makes it possible to actually beat the game with him in single-player mode, as long as youre careful and avoid doing the things which can crash the game!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
His sprites do not seem to be able to appear on the character select screen.
When playing as him as a registered character, he is locked to the Kahns Arena stage in fights. The only way to get him on another stage (as a registered character) is if his opponent is one of the hidden characters on the blue Portal stage.
His icon on the battle plan screen is the hidden character [?] icon.
He does not have an alternative colour palette.
Sometimes one of his attacks inflicts almost a whole lifebar of damage!
As mentioned earlier, he actually has glitched moves that can damage the opponent. And you can repeat them without the game freezing. These damage hits are the same ones when CPU Kahn hits you, the only problem is that the animation sprites for the move are all wrong.
Obviously, you cannot perform any of Shao Kahns moves correctly. And you definitely cannot perform his special moves, such as the Spear Projectile and the Shoulder Barge. Only a CPU-controlled Kahn can do these.
Under human control, he cannot even turn around properly.
When against the CPU, the CPU opponents have the ability to force throw, meaning that it makes them technically able to throw the bosses. If this happens against Kahn, it will freeze the game. The same goes for Kintaros throw.
In this version of the game, when fighting against CPU Kahn, the announcer still says Fight! and has the Fight text animation.
If you manage to beat the game with him, it will crash because he does have an ending programmed in.

![Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Wild Card + game crash](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i3wWHaDDNzo/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Wild Card + game crash
This is a playthrough of Arcade Mode using Wild Card in the PS1 version of Tekken 1. Read on below for more information...
Wild Card is an unused character in the game, meaning that he is an unplayable/non-selectable character.
WILD CARD ON CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN
As Wild Card is an unused character, it means that it doesnt normally appear on the character select screen. Therefore, additional third party methods (Action Replay, GameShark, etc.) are required to get it to appear on this screen, as shown in the video starting from 00:06
As shown in the video, Wild Card appears as a question mark [?] icon on the row of characters, and uses the large question mark image portrait. The question mark icon is not seen anywhere in the game in normal situations, so it can only be seen via third party methods.
ABOUT WILD CARD
This seems to be a slot intended to act as a random character selector (of the roster obviously), but as it isnt used in the game, it does not function and a character is actually allocated to it. In this case, this character is Kazuya Mishima with some differences. It is a bit like a dummy character.
WILD CARD INFORMATION
- There is nothing in the game that references the character as Wild Card. I call him this because the Arcade version has an unused character like this that is suggested to be Wild Card.
- In gameplay, the character is Kazuya Mishima.
- It uses the question mark image portrait on the character select screen.
- It has no name on the character select screen nor the versus screen.
- In gameplay, it has no name on its lifebar.
- In single-player mode, it does not have a sub-boss.
- It has no voices.
- In a 2-player match, it will crash the game after a Replay as it does not have a announcer-name voice programmed in. This is shown in the video starting from 13:09
- On the character select screen, if you look closely at the question mark of the large portrait, you can see a reflection of Heihachi on it.
- It is very different to the Arcade version of unused Wild Card, also featured on this channel.
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.
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.

ABOUT GAIA
In Toshinden 1 and Remix, he is a monstrous warlord-type boss wearing the armour of Basara. He is a very powerful character albeit with a glaring weakness - his slow speed and his jumps. It takes forever for him to land from his jumps, and there is a lot of recovery delay in his heavy basic moves. He is the sponsor of the first tournament and is the father of Ellis.
GAME TRIVIA
On the character select screen, he has no icon and no image portrait.
DIFFERENCES IN THE JAPANESE VERSION
There are some differences in this when compared to the USA/EUR versions of the game... the significant difference is that most of the character music tracks are different. It seems that the West/Europe went to change/improve the music for the Western version of the game. (in the same way on how the SNES fighting game Tuff E Nuff improved the music over the Japanese version of the game, called Dead Dance)
The voices for most of the characters are also different as well. One example of this is Kayins voice, in this version of the game he has a distinct American accent (despite him being Scottish)... whereas in the Western version he had a Scottish accent.

![Turtles Tournament Fighters [SNES] - play as Clone Don (demonstration)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jdJnGyqeJfY/mqdefault.jpg "Turtles Tournament Fighters [SNES] - play as Clone Don (demonstration)
This is a demonstration using Clone Don in the SNES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Read on below for more information...
Clone Don is a character who appears only in Story Battle mode as a mirror match CPU opponent for Donatello. 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 any projectiles
3) Sets a unique lifebar image icon
The characters gameplay/voices/endings/etc. however are identical to the regular Turtles.
OTHER INFORMATION
Clone Dons Ground Claw projectile is coloured blue. Normal Dons one is coloured light green.
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.
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.

ABOUT BLANKA

![Mortal Kombat II [Genesis] - play as Kintaro](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGF0JQLrH9U/mqdefault.jpg "Mortal Kombat II [Genesis] - play as Kintaro
This is a playthrough of single player mode using Kintaro in the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat II. Read on below for more information...
Kintaro is the penultimate boss in the game, and he is an unplayable character.
ABOUT GENESIS MK2 KINTARO
Kintaro is an unplayable/non-selectable boss character in all official versions of MKII. Even if you used external methods (Action Replay, Game Genie, etc.) to select him and the player tried controlling him, it would cause loads of glitches and crashes, making it somewhat pointless unless you did it for curiosity and/or experimental purposes. Literally anything you did with him caused the game to crash, and this applies especially to the Arcade and SNES versions of him.
The Genesis/Mega Drive MK2 Kintaro however, is a bit different because under human control, he is far more lenient than the Arcade and SNES versions of him. This means you can actually do a lot of things with him without the game freezing. The best thing is that he actually has moves that damage the opponent (which can be repeated), so that combined with the control leniency, makes it possible to actually beat the game with him in single-player mode, as long as youre careful and avoid doing the things which can crash the game!
Another thing that helps greatly is that Kintaro has a bit of CPU-control embedded in the character, in which he momentarily automatically performs proper moves to hurt the opponent if activated. This is explained in more detail in the Additional Information section below.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As mentioned earlier, he has a little bit of CPU-control embedded within him. You can activate the CPU for a temporary moment with certain moves from the opponent, such as having him block the opponents rapid LPs, which will cause Kintaro to automatically throw the opponent. Sometimes, you even get the roar Taunt afterwards as well. You can see examples of this happening at 04:07 and 06:50.
His sprites do not seem to be able to appear on the character select screen.
When playing as him as a registered character, he is locked to the Kahns Arena stage in fights. The only way to get him on another stage (as a registered character) is if his opponent is one of the hidden characters on the blue Portal stage.
His icon on the battle plan screen is his proper own icon (as normally seen on the battle plan above Shang Tsungs icon).
He does not have an alternative colour palette.
Sometimes one of his attacks inflicts almost a whole lifebar of damage!
As mentioned earlier, he actually has glitched moves that can damage the opponent. And you can repeat them without the game freezing. These damage hits are the same ones as when CPU Kintaro hits you; the only problem is that the animation sprites for the move are all wrong.
Obviously, you cannot perform any of Kintaros moves correctly. This also applies to his two special moves (the Fireball and Teleport Stomp). Only a CPU-controlled Kintaro can do these.
Under human control, he cannot even turn around properly nor get up properly after being knocked down.
When against the CPU, the CPU opponents have the ability to force throw, meaning that it makes them technically able to throw the bosses. If this happens against Kahn, it will freeze the game. The same goes for Kintaros throw.
In this version of the game, when fighting against CPU Kahn, the announcer still says Fight! and has the Fight text animation.
If you manage to beat the game with him, he jumps down onto the screen, and his ending will show a lot of scrolling glitched text. As the glitched text gets more severe, the game will crash. You can see this starting around 12:06 in the video.
In a Kintaro mirror match, it can cause some graphical flickering.

HOW ERMAC WAS CREATED
Under the History and conception section:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermac
INFORMATION / TRIVIA
- Ermac does not have a complete finishing move set.
- He becomes yet another MK male ninja clone in the 2D games.
- In this version of the game, sometimes his damaged/being heavily hit voice yell is of a lower tone for some reason. It sounds a bit strange to me. You can hear this at certain points in the video, one example of this is at 15:29
- In his Green Fireball special move, the projectile graphic is identical to Shao Kahns one. It doesnt do as much damage as Kahns one of course.
- Ermac is the only new character to be introduced in UMK3.
- In the Saturn version of the game, the Ultimate Kombat Kodes have been shortened in comparison to the Arcade versions ones.
- In this version of the game, a lot of the backgrounds/stages use the wrong music tracks.

ABOUT FEI LONG
Fei Long is Capcoms answer to Bruce Lee... he looks like him, fights like him and sounds like him.
In Super Street Fighter II, he makes a string of action movies until he participates in the second World Warrior tournament. During the tournament, he realizes that he prefers the real thing over the staged, choreographed fight scenes in his movies, and gives up his movie career to disappear into the streets. Despite this, he soon returns to the world of cinema.
OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Old Fei Long has two colour palettes. The first is the original SSFII:TNC colours; and the second are unique colours that is specially made for Old Fei Long.
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 Fei Long.
In one of his win poses he demonstrates the use of nunchucks. He never actually uses this weapon in the SF franchise.
His character portrait images show him wearing a shirt. He doesnt actually have this shirt for his gameplay sprites. The reasons for the shirt in the portraits is so that the player can see what colour palette is selected.
In Fei Longs stage in the SSFII series, the roar you hear after a Round has ended is the voice of Anguirus from the Godzilla franchise.
Him and Cammy are the first characters in the Street Fighter franchise to have special moves whereby the command input is a Dragon Punch motion using a Kick button.
