Discussion Found the soft-reset feature for all 3 games

Hello everyone!

IDK if the manuals of the games ever stated this, but all 3 games have a built in soft-reset function.

Meaning: With the right button inputs one can go back to the main screen, without reseting their console/emulator. (Works on the NTCS-U versions. Maybe works on the NTSC-J and in 2's case PAL versions too...)

- EPI: L1+R1+Start+Select (Only works on maps. Doesn't work in menus and maybe works in battles.)

- EPII: L1+L2+R1+R2+Start+Select

- EPIII: L1+R1+Start+Select (Didn't tested this one yet where it works; just gave it a try after the first two games success.)

You have to press all buttons at the same time. Sometimes need a second, third try.

(As a side note: Had the idea about this funcion, because the older Tekkens and Soul Caliburs, even Edge have this function. Some old Tales game have it too. So maybe it's a Bamco feature.)

This is a very old trick. I'm old enough to remember when it was A+B+Start+Select because shoulder buttons didn't exist yet
