So what is the exact method of selecting Anita in Marvel Super Heroes? I've read 3 or 4 different ways and can't seem to get any to work. I've read that she is only available in the Japanese arcade version, although other sources say ANY arcade version will work and it's the console versions that are Japanese only.

In either event, what is the correct method to use for the arcade version? Does anyone here know for sure?

Thanks!

If MP, LP, LEFT, LK, MK at the character selection screen doesn't work, I don't know what will. You could just enable a cheat that unlocks her.

So you're supposed to do those in sequence, I mean not holding them all down as you continue?

But as soon as you hit the first MP, it selects spiderman.....

you're supposed to select the empty box i believe...

here's one i found:

Anita

--Set the game to free play.
--Press and hold down credit switch #1.
--Press start and go to character select screen.
--Enter the following:

strong, jab O- short, forward

--Let go of the credit switch

Obviously, you need the help of the arcade operator or a board of your
own, because you have to muck around with the insides.

Also, Anita appears on the win portrait if you finish your 20th, 60th,
or 100th opponent with an Infinity Special. Ditto for Gouki on the
40th win. Lin-Lin (Lei-Lei's sister) appears if you do the same on
your 80th win. After finishing your 108th opponent (!!) with an IS, 8
Lin-Lins appear in all the selectable colors.
