a special KO. Stand near your opponent and wait for them to taunt you. Then, do
the special move and you will get a finest KO. You also have to either beat the
mini-Boss, or receive 1500 GPS before you finish the final round in Osaka to
get to God Rugal.
Hint: Easy Boss
challenge mode:
Choose a good fighter such as Ken or Ryu. When you are facing the last Boss, if
you are losing by one round and there is not a lot of power remaining, press Start
on controller two and repeat until you win.
Hint: Easy

After unlocking the Extra Options, go to "Option Mode" at the main
menu. Go to "Extra Options", select "Player One Life Gauge
Type" and change it to "No Damage". Then, go to "Groove
Gauge Type" and change it to "Infinite". After this, start
survival mode and defeat all 46 characters without taking damage and your
Groove Bar will always be full.
