As you may (or may not) have heard, each character has two endings (in
Arcade Mode; the EMM endings (same as Arcade version SE endings) could be
counted as a third for each character...). For most characters, the first
ending, this being the one which requires no user intervention, is not a
happy one. The second is almost always more "pleasant".
To get these endings, you must press a certain button sequence at a certain
time during each character's normal ending. To know when to input the
command, pay attention to the top and bottom of the screen. There, you
will see a small black letterbox. When this letterbox recedes, letting the
action take up the full screen, input the command. Letterbox mode will
return when you enter a successful command (exception: Li Long (see
below)). This should reveal the second ending.
The only exception to the above process is for Mitsurugi's alternate
ending, which will be explained later...
Note: If your television's screen dimensions make it difficult (or
impossible) to see the letterbox strips of black along the top and bottom
of the screen, you can try adjusting your game screen a bit in the Adjust
Screen section of the Options menu...
What to press for each character:
---------------------------------
Hwang - A
Rock - B
Taki - G
Sophitia - Right
Mitsurugi - Defeat Tanegashima (see below)
Siegfried - B
Seung Mina - Down, Up or Right+G
Li Long - 20 (minimum) attack commands (see below)
Voldo - Up, Down (repeatedly, quickly)
Cervantes - B
Exceptions, explanations, and extras (SPOILERS):
-----------------------------------------------
Mitsurugi - To get Mitsurugi's second ending, you must defeat a character
named Tanegashima in battle. This is not like a normal battle.
The battle is first person view from Mitsurugi's perspective,
and there are only four actions you can take:
Left - dodge left
Right - dodge right
Up - step towards Tanegashima (6 steps to reach him)
A, B, or K - vertical slash (also steps forward)
If you're having trouble defeating Tanegashima, here's a method
that seems to work a good amount of the time: As soon as you
are able, dodge right twice (your second dodge should avoid
Tanegashima's first shot). Then, tap up rapidly to close in
fast. When close enough (Mitsurugi must take 6 steps towards
Tanegashima), press A, B, or K to finish him off. If you are
not fast enough, you may have to dodge two or more shots.
Li Long - To get Li Long's alternate ending, you have to hit, at minimum,
20 attack commands during the non-letterbox sequence. Unlike
for the other characters' alternate endings, Li Long's non-
letterbox sequence will not go away upon successful completion
of the alternate ending command, but will always run its full
course in time. Also, as it turns out, the programmable two-
and three-button commands only count as a single attack
(instead of 2 or 3) for the 20 tally; be aware that doing any
of these commands manually might also count only as a single
attack here... Anyway, here's a list of the commands I've
found that will work:
A, B, K, A+B, A+K, B+K, A+B+K, A+G, B+G
Hitting any of those will count as 1 attack for the 20 tally...
So you can hit the same command 20 times, or a combination of
different ones adding up to 20 (or more)... Whatever works for
you. =)
Sophitia - In Sophitia's secondary ending, there is a second place where
the letterbox recedes. There is no third ending, but rather,
as a (still more fan service, alas) "extra", by repeatedly
hitting any buttons at this point, one can temporarily (if you
stop, the mist comes back) clear the mist which otherwise
obscures our view of Sophitia...
Voldo - In Voldo's primary ending, there is a second place where the
letterbox recedes. There is no third ending, but rather, as a
little "extra", one can switch the camera view from Voldo to
Vercci (his master), and back and forth, by hitting the B
button."

Quindi bisogna premere determinati pulsanti in certi momenti dei finali,
Grazie Alex!
