Shorter, Easier Trivia.

Due to the overwhelmingly popular response to the first trivia post ("you're wrong about this, this this, and this." "Where the fuck are 41-49?" "Why are there two 23s?") It's time for yet another round of trivia. This is just 25 questions, and that's the actual number of question, not just what I've numbered them up to.
These are also much more accurate and you will never ever win an attempt to argue the answers. Let's hear it for Mr. Bungle for coming up with 'em.

Now, to the questions:
================
1. Name the only credited American programmer to have worked for AM2 for the VF
series arcade games, and for which games in the VF series he worked on. Extra

remained on the VF1 monitor glass?

3. The TKoD could work on a back turned opponent in one of the VF games, T/F?

8. Describe the quick-fix AM2 came up with to weaken the effectiveness of
Kage's TFT in VF2.1.

by anyone sane).

random, T/F?

17. What is the Mating Ritual?

18. In general terms, describe how Jacky's VF4 low backfist differs in from his
VF1/2/3 low backfist (this question does not refer to effect on opponent; i.e.
it looks and acts different, why?).

19. Which character has the largest bust?

20. The performance differences in some VF2 characters between their 1P and 2P

a) bugs

throw in VF1, T/F?
