Ken's Neutral Throw Vs Makoto#

Watch on YouTubeWatch on YouTubeRevision 990512 has a glitch where if Ken defeats Makoto using his neutral throw, one of the following things will happen:

  • The game freezes and the game has to be reset.
  • Makoto slowly falls to the ground and the game continues normally.

This glitch was fixed in revision 990608 and home ports. It's known to potentially brick CP System III boards.

Active Super Freeze Glitch#

Watch on YouTube

If a character destroys a rival's projectile in the same frame that a Super Freeze happens, he won't be affected by said freeze. There are 3 scenarios where this can happen:

  • 2 projectiles clash.
  • A move with projectile breaking properties is used (Yang and Yun's Kobokushi, Dudley's Corkscrew Blow, etc).
  • Any regular attack is used to break Ibuki's Kunai.

This glitch hasn't been fixed in any version of the game.

Necro's Throw on Back-turned Dudley#

Watch on YouTube

If Necro attempts a throw on a character who is facing the opposite way he will perform a suplex. If this is used against Dudley, both characters won't be able to perform attacks or dashes until they jump. If one of them parries an attack while in this state, he will be frozen in the air. This glitch hasn't been fixed in any version of the game.

Twelve's X.C.O.P.Y on himself#

Watch on YouTube

If Twelve uses X.C.O.P.Y on another Twelve, none of his voice lines will play until the Super Art ends. Additionally, if he's defeated with a weak attack, Hugo's theme will start playing. These issues were fixed in the home ports.

Sean's Static Zenten (Roll)#

Watch on YouTube

If a player holds down the crouch button while Sean finishes using his Zenten move, after a few seconds he will roll in place. This glitch hasn't been fixed in any version of the game.
