  "Disc shot."
 
Pretty much identical to the Japanese release (see entry 1283), except that they applied some texture smoothing to the 3D backgrounds, so the careful dithering effect that made the 3D backgrounds match the 2D sprites so well is mostly lost; the background is smoothed out like in '99 Evolution, and to me looks less interesting. Also the disc label isn't as cool.

The flashing of UI elements as they appear before a match starts that happens in the NEOGEO etc versions is gone here; those animations have been replaced by smoother modern stuff.
 
There isn't even a FLASH option--it just seems to be off?
 
Still a double white flash at match end or something.
 
Works pretty well in Flycast widescreen.

The double white flash is on KO. There are small flashes at character order select. Hit flashes cover more pixels than 2000's looser flash sprites.
 
There are ghosting FX during rolls.
 
The smoothing of the dithering is removed by Flycast "Nearest Neighbor" graphics setting.
 
The pace of the game is noticeably slower than 2000.

I think it's using the AST, with no OST option.
