Regional Differences

Doctrine Dark

In the Japanese version, Doctrine Dark's throw move will have him place an explosive on the opponent's throat, causing them to be lit on fire when it explodes. Similarly to Street Fighter EX, his throw is replaced with a more generic backwards toss in other regions.

Options Menu

Japan	International

In the options menu, the button configuration section is titled "Key Config" in Japan and "Button Config" in other regions. A screen setting option was added to the options menu of the US/Europe versions and there is a more detailed description about how to enter and exit the options menu at the bottom (you must press Select in the Japanese version to exit and Start in the US/Europe versions).

Japan	International

An auto save option is exclusive to the Japanese version, but is missing overseas.
