I looked up how to get Shin Akuma after I got him (I wanted to be able to do it again if need be). Generally, you need to get first strike on all but six matches, get a score of 1,600 or higher, and/or get perfects on most of your matches. It doesn't matter what difficulty level it is set on (it really doesn't; he fights at the max level even if you have the game set to level 1).

Oftentimes when you beat the final match you see Rugal standing on the roof, then you fight him. If you've done it right you instead see Akuma's outline and Rugal's outline on the roof. Akuma kills Rugal, then becomes Shin Akuma. Defeat Shin Akuma (it really isn't easy) to make him selectable. You have more than one try, though; if it doesn't work with one team then select another.

I think that there are also two other secret characters (given the two other empty squares in the Training Mode select screen), but I don't know how to get them. I only look things up after I do them to verify that I know how I got it.

Next up, yes, CvSNK2 is on the Dreamcast. It wasn't advertised as being on it because they were also releasing it on the newer systems, just like how whenever a game for both the Playstation and the Nintendo64 came out, they only showed the Playstation graphics. It is basically the same as the PS2 version.

Finally, I didn't know the Japanese names until now because this was my first encounter with those names. Until CvSNK2 (Japanese version) I had only played American versions of the games.

Just one question for anybody who can answer it: what does the symbol on Shin Akuma's back mean? I know what Akuma's symbol means.
