After reading you article, I immediately went to my local arcade and tried it
out. What do you know? It worked!

First note, you have to do the sequence while the fight demo is running.

Here is the explanation of the numbers :
- Suppose the numbers look like this :

 0001 0002 0003 0004
 0005 0006 0007 0008 0009 0010 0011 0012 0013 0014 0015 0016

0001 - No idea, probably some sort of "experience points" for the 1st player.
0002 - The no. of tokens/quarters put in in the left-hand slot. 
       => It's not the first player. I tried inserting into the right-hand slot
	  and press 1st player button. The number showed up in the 4th field.
0003 - Same as 0001, but for 2nd player.
0004 - Same as 0002, but for right-hand slot.
0005 - No. of times Ryu has been used.
0006 - No. of times Honda has been used.
0007 - No. of times Blanka has been used
0008 - No. of times Guile has been used.
0009 - No. of times Ken has been used.
0010 - No. of times Chun Li has been used.
0011 - No. of times Zangief has been used.
0012 - No. of times Dhalsim has been used.
0013 - No. of times M.Bison (US version) has been used.
0014 - No. of times Sagat has been used.
0015 - No. of times Balrog (US version) has been used.
0016 - No. of times Vega (US version) has been used.


I am not sure about 0001 and 0003, so if anybody has any idea what they are, 
please email me.

Thanx.
