Version 5.3 doesn’t just give you the heroes. It gives you everyone. Want to play as the clownish signal-torch enemy "Galsia"? You can. Want to break the game as Mr. X with his laser pistol? Go ahead. The unlock system is deep, requiring you to complete specific routes and achievements. This alone gives SoRR 5.3 hundreds of hours of replayability.
If you're experiencing issues with the game, such as crashes or controller issues, try updating your M.U.G.E.N engine or checking the game's forums for solutions.
