Arcade Endings?

Does this game have arcade endings per character?

Kinda, but only txt.
Remember this game was made during SNK second bankruptcy. They didn't have budget for proper endings.

All the characters each have arcade endings. However, in order to get it, you have to fight either Athena or Red Arremer and beat them, which is not easy to get to under default (Level-4) difficulty since you have to 2-0 every match until you get to either Shin Akuma or Serious Mr. Karate and beat them.

(Though getting to Athena is usually easy, getting to Red Arremer however, is a different story.)

Nice, that's good enough

Oh. That would be difficult

Does the game have save states?

[Unecumenical Noble]

To get to Red Arremer, you need to defeat an opponent through block damage along with generally the same requirements for Athena meaning no losses until you reach Shin Akuma or Serious Mr. Karate.

There are also requirements for fighting Geese, Demitri, Mars People and Zero as mid bosses and involves defeating a certain number of opponents through exceeds.

That was why I was asking if this port allowed for save states in a previous post of mine. The requirements to get to specific bosses are so strict, there are some bosses I'd fight very rarely without them.

This is incorrect, this game was made after SNK went bankrupt in 2001 (Their only bankruptcy). The game has unique endings for every single character, including the unlockable midbosses. As mentioned above, you need to reach the true final bosses to see them.

There is no save stating either.

Athena and Red Arremer only have endings on the PS2 and XB version.
