Fakin The Funk Unlock Code

After listening to thousands of records and watching countless bands fail the vibe check, I’ve distilled the "Fakin’ The Funk Unlock Code" into three critical checkpoints.

So was there ever a cheat code?
Sort of. In the final build, the developers left a debug Easter egg:

At the mode select screen, press: Left(3), Right(3), Up, Down, Up, Down, B(hold), Start.

This doesn’t unlock a character — it plays a secret audio clip of the lead programmer saying:
“Stop fakin’ the funk and just play the game, man.” Fakin The Funk Unlock Code

This is not for casual players. It shows hitboxes, frame data, and allows you to spawn any enemy. To use it:

This debug mode confirms that the code was built by programmers who loved Street Fighter II training modes.
