Based on CastorTroy's screenshots, "Challenge Mode", "Training", and "Customize" are written in katakana (チャレンジモード, トレーニング, カスタマイズ) while Multiplayer is written in kanji: 通信対戦/tsuushin taisen. CPU Battle also looks like it's written in kanji, but I can't make it out.

Apparently, there is a hacked version of this rom and most of the game has been translated into Chinese. I'm enjoying the game right now as we speak. Too bad my L button isn't working properly. I really need to replace my DS Lite. (Also got plans to buy the 3DS in the coming months as well.)

Ehm, i just got this game, can anyone teach me how to fight?

[DarkPrince_92]

From what I know, B= dodge throws or heavy attacks, A=throw, Y=light attacks, X=heavy attacks, R=ki blasts (hold to charge), L+R=blocks supers or deflects blasts, L+UP or DOWN controls a weird ki meter (I keep it down so the action bar fills faster). Action Bar at bottom allows supers/specials. Select=reveals button input for supers/specials on the bottom screen (or click on move when necessary). A+B+X+Y=Burst/Super/Ape Shit Mode (I pulled this off once...too difficult on an emulator). I just don't know what the ki meter does.

I've got a problem. I can't beat the last challenge in Challenge Mode. It's just way too hard. Even with my spammy tactics of Tien and #17, I just can't win. Please help.

Ok so my deal is that I cannot win last fight in challenger mode 7. Which character is the best for it...? I would be grateful for some answer.

I don't want to necropost, but I'm getting this game in the mail, so I figured I'd ask this. Some games I imported have certain requirements for their missions in Story Mode. Does Ultimate Butouden have that or is it just "Beat the guy up. Okay, good."? Just want to know in case there are some missions with certain requirements.

Wow, so I started to play this game! And maybe I'm retarded, but I don't understand the super-clash mechanics! You know, when you use the ultimate attack like Genkidama, and there are thos blue balls falling on whatever that is and other of these great things..... I figured it out!!!
BTW. is there any button combination to charge Ki? Or you gain it by battling?
