New intro for Costume 2. It uses (previously) unused audio. This is to correct an inconsistency in the intro (Bi-Han originally SPOKE WITH HIS BROTHER'S VOICE. Apparently, NRS had recorded a separate intro for Bi-Han...but chose not to use it in the final game. The voice file still remains in the game, for some odd reason)
However, said intro cuts a few seconds short, if you are playing from P1's side. P2 Sub will play it fully.
