- That reminds me of something weird I saw once. I started up on a SFII classic
- and went to the character selection screen. Chun Li was pink!! All the other
- characters were their normal non-CE colors, but Chun Li in the little box
- -and- the close-up, was garbed in pink instead of blue!
- Hmm. Was this a strange chip or a bug, or what?
- Also, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened...
- remember the Ryu v. Ryu SFII Classic fight somebody talked about earlier?
- Also there's a way to fool the SNES into fighting against your character
- consistently. It might work on the arcade, but you'd need about $2.00 or
- maybe $3 to get it to work, and it probably wouldn't... but maybe someone
- should try it(?).
