Ok. Here we go. The bosses and glitch character aren't fun to use and they like to crash the emulation entirely, but at least I found a way to make this cheat work properly. Also added a cheat to let you run around unarmed if you want. It includes cheat protection to make sure you don't try to arm the final boss and crash the game. The addresses that Walter found at 609562E and 6095796 can't be used because during a round they are used for the character's frame delay. Also, unless you find a good value to base a condition on, you can't make a frame delay cheat because the same address is used between rounds and (obviously) on the character select to tell the game what character you had. Not sure why it was programmed this way, but that's what's going on.
Fun fact:
Using the loop back in the character select that displays the English player names, I was able to determine that the odd glitch character is really a removed character named Hu Yan Zhuo. Koenshaku is his Japanese name apparently. Not sure why he was removed, but it can be assumed he would be a larger character using two clubs for weapons.
