P2 side does not write to this address, it's likely just writing to a slightly different address. this is needed for single play on p2 side

When getting to Rugal, the char select screen gets stuck like this

In versus mode, randomize both teams so when the match starts, a random background will get chosen.

cover up the ending with a "thanks for playing" message on the fix layer

When the player has defeated a team, and the char select is choosing the next cpu team, show the player's team down in the chosen section.

If player 2 coins in during char select, that player's side shows TERRY BOGARD and the p2 cursor on the far left.

Make sure it matches the game's cursors

So far all my hacking leads to players always using the main color palette. There is probably a value in memory somewhere that says when to use alternate

repro:

1. start a single player game from p2 side
2. choose a team
3. while cpu is randomly selecting its team, keep pressing a direction

p2 cursor keeps moving, when it should be still.

note: ultimately will get rid of the cursors during cpu select altogether, see #16

Not sure what is wrong yet. Yuri, Mai and Takuma all have incorrect palettes when greyed.

During the cpu random team selection, hide the player's cursor.

When the CPU finishes its random select, the team it landed on in char select doesn't always match the team in order select

If during the new char select screen the other player enters a coin then presses start, it should say "HERE COMES CHALLENGER" and then reset the char select screen.

After winning a match in a single player, the char select screen should show what team the cpu chooses next, then move into the match. instead it just sits there, with the p1 cursor on terry.

Depending on who won and where they were in the character select order.

When a player wins the match, the win screen shows the wrong team most of the time. Usually it's a wildly wrong team.

• It's always a preformed team
• it's the team the player unknowingly selected while char select was on top of team select

repro

1. as player one defeat 7 teams
2. have a p2 challenge
3. p1 beats p2

at that point it should move onto the last undefeated team, but it will get stuck in the rng. CPU_RANDOM_SELECT_ALREADY_USED_INDEXES is ff, causing the infinite loop

Rugal's character ID is 0x18 and 0x19 (second round Rugal).

Can they be added to the char select screen? Maybe. I do know if you choose Rugal he is the entire team, so no sure how this will play out.

Brazil is set as the team for cutscene2, so the dialog is team Brazil. Make the dialog be based on the team that was chosen. Likely just have to make them say something generic.

Hope with a single grey palette

• the winning player cannot pick their team, but that is probably correct
• the cpu does not pick a team, instead just uses the loser's team

Seems char select init -> char select main can sometimes happen all in one frame, so the A for skipping HTP is still active in char select.

I think just waiting a frame (maybe two?) should fix this.

Maybe just make him say something really generic. or Perhaps he can say ", and ... interesting..."

With Kyo replacing Terry on team Italy, when you lose and go to the continue screen, Terry will be loaded, not Kyo

In teardown, set the two teams to not be England, and not be a mirror match.

Not England to avoid female oriented win quotes. Nothing against them, but with custom teams it's just simpler to keep the win quotes gender agnostic.

Not mirror match to avoid mirror match win quotes.

BONUS: in versus mode, randomly set the two teams so each match runs on a different background

Happens more often when Chang is on a team, especially multiple Changs. I think what is happening is the game limits number of sprites characters can use, and certain team combos go over that limit.

After the demo picks its two teams, it shows six heiderns in order select

in demo mode the new char select does show and you can hear the cpu randomization, but not see it.

This should be pretty easy to fix.

repro:

1. play a game as p2 and lose to the cpu
2. continue
3. choose an all alt color team

when the match starts, the first character to fight for p2 will not have alt colors

It seems to only run the team select update routine every other frame or even less. Due to that, pressing A to progress is laggy.

The edge strips are off by 1 pixel. Most noticable on the lower right near King's chosen avatar.

Make sure the new char select screen shows what team the cpu has selected.

Oh my

In versus mode, if three or more Changs get chosen, slowdown and sprite corruption happens.

• 1 or 2 Changs: ok
• 3 Changs: slowdown starts
• 4 Changs: slowdown gets worse
• 5 or 6 Changs: sprite corruption

This only impacts character select. Once on order select the game is fine.

Normally when entering versus mode via HERE COMES CHALLENGER, the player that was playing the CPU is locked with the team they chose. Allow them to choose a new team in this situation.

repro:

1. play against cpu with an alt color player (I've been using Joe, and single play)
2. lose to the CPU

during the final blow, where your character is slowly falling and the stage background is still present, they will have regular colors.

Later when the falling on white background sequence happens, they have their alt colors again.

The game engine happily works with clone characters (ie a team of three Kyos for example). If the player holds D will starting a game, allow clone characters by allowing them to pick the same character more than once.

Will cause the game to lock up just as the large character portraits were to come on if a character from another team wins the match.

If a character from the current team wins the match, it will show the current team's portraits

repro:

• use team Italy with Kyo replacing Terry.
  • kyo wins match: lockup
  • Andy or Joe wins match: Terry's portrait appears instead of Kyo's

Somehow this hack caused the cpu to pick the same teams repeatedly, effectively making single player mode endless.

In theory it would finish if you ever managed to fight all eight teams. But the random select for some reason no longer skips over beaten teams, making this pretty much impossible

in aes mode, you can play in single play mode, which is traditional 1on1, best of 3.

Currently chosen avatars are only regular colors

in upper corner, just like rotary bobble

If both players pick the same character and same colors, the first one to pick this gets it, the other gets the other colors

repro

1. play a single player game
2. lose the match
3. continue
4. choose a new team

the cpu cursor will stay at one place for a long time, a good 10 seconds or so, then ultimately move on as if nothing is wrong.

The new approach corrupts far fewer palettes. But at least one still gets corrupted

Probably need to find palette gaps just like the crom tiles
