It auto-saved on my version. And I thought you just select the bear character and press triangle to choose the alternate. But I agree with Ringo. Tekken 4 was a bit of a let down for me.
I am at work at 5:30pm on a Sunday. And still posting on TMO.

Yeah you do, but you have to win as Ling-Xiaou (sp? sp?) to get "Kuma", to access "Panda". Previously* I'd never realised there were bonuses from completing the story mode.
* during the 18 months I've owned this game. Maybe I should have read some instructions or something

Then I got into more ambitious digital manipulation with this dolly for my friend "Bailey". She's a secret fan of Kirsten and it looks like the feeling's mutual!
Here's how I faked that convincing "signature".
1. I opened a new "layer" in paint shop pro. (Photoshop is great for amateur use, but as the name suggests, this is the professional choice.) That's Open ---> Layer ---> OK.
2. The "text" box (Use --> Text) works like a normal word processor. Adding colour was done by clicking a colour box, and selecting R=255, G=125, B=125, for that shade of pink to match the flesh tone. It took a few tries but it's worth a bit of care here, to achieve the right effect.
3. A handwritten font gives a convincing touch. I used the special "truetype" add-on, CurlzMT, to most closely approximate Kirsten's real handwriting.
3. Then it was "merge layers" (Try it... Merge ---> Layers) to combine those two elements, text and image. Saving as a "jpg" (machine code for j-peg file) meant it was easy to upload onto a website, and then use http-type code to insert it on this page.
4. Just an edit or two corrects and typos or gremlins that may have crept into this post... and we're done!

Reading
The Little Friend by Donna Tartt
This is a cool book, just finished it the other week. The descriptions of a childs guilt, and subjects of paranoia are great, I found many parts of it to remind me distictly of thought processes I followed in childhood.

Poor, piss poor, 2 humerous remarks in an 1.5 hours, and I paid £6 for that toss.
