Star Gladiator [Arcade] - play as Bilstein

This is a playthrough using Edward Bilstein in the Arcade version of Star Gladiator. Read on below for more information...
Bilstein is the end boss of the game, and he is an unlockable playable character.
In this playthrough, as a bonus I have included a fight against CPU Super Bilstein at the end. You can see it starting around 13:02.
===== HOW TO UNLOCK BILSTEIN =====
Go into the character select screen, highlight Hayato, hold [START], move to Gore, and input:
G K G K A A A B B B G+K
That will unlock Bilstein. Remember, the START button must be held down at all times.
===== ABOUT BILSTEIN =====
Dr. Edward Bilstein is a German-American mad cybernetic scientist who is the leader of the Fourth Empire and has plans to conquer the universe, wanting to gain legendary status of being the greatest genius of all time. He has the honour of being a Nobel Prize winner.
===== COMPARED TO SUPER BILSTEIN =====
He is basically a less powerful version of Super Bilstein, with the main differences being that he has a shorter sword range and not having the unique "super" move of summoning multiple explosion fields (which is unblockable).
Aesthetics-wise he obviously looks a lot different to Super Bilstein because normal Bilstein is "solid"m while Super Bilstein looks as if he's formed of aura/light, of which is transparent.
Gameplay-wise, he plays just like Super Bilstein with some differences here and there, but he generally inflicts much lower damage, which means that he is nowhere near as cheap. Normal Bilstein's side-steps are of the "standard" ones and not the ridiculous super-speed-distance ones that Super Bilstein has.
Normal Bilstein does have a unique move which the Super version of him doesn't have, and that is the temporary Invisibility move.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====
---- Even though he has the Invisibility move over Super Bilstein's Multiple Explosion's move, the latter is by far the better move.
---- His Plasma Strike activation can connect to the opponent, unlike Super Bilstein's one.
---- Unlike Super Bilstein, he can be ringed out like any other regular character in the game.
---- His sidesteps are of the "standard" ones and is not of the tremendous speed and distance ones that Super Bilstein has.
---- On the character select screen, his image portraits are exactly the same as Super Bilstein's ones.
---- On the versus screen, his banner image is different to Super Bilstein's ones.
---- His SG1 design is more akin to the Ghost Bilstein version of him in the sequel, Plasma Sword.
---- He is the father of Rain, who appears in the sequel Plasma Sword.
---- Outside of Star Gladiator, he has appeared in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash; and he also made a cameo appearance in Tekkaman Blade and Joe the Condor's endings in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars.
---- As the game's setting is inspired by the Star Wars franchise, Bilstein's design is therefore inspired by Darth Vader.
---- Star Gladiator is Capcom's first 3D fighting game to be developed by themselves.
===== ABOUT STAR GLADIATOR =====
The game is basically a futuristic weapons fighter, largely inspired by the Star Wars franchise. The fighting system and mechanics is very typical of a Capcom fighting game... it's a bit like a flexible Street Fighter with weapons and "dial-a-combos". The character roster is certainly diverse, with robots, mechs, monsters and creatures as well as humans.

Thanks man! Everyone on the entire internet couldn't get the cheat explained right where you have to highlight Hayato first and hold start there towards gore. Been trying for hours and never saw that part in any tutorial explained.

one of finest Akiman's designs ♥...♥

[@Toomnyusernae]

The real question is, can True Bilstein have big feet and head.

[@Toomnyusernae]

9:18 is pretty rare to hit that late in the game. 13:24 I can sense the past sigh and sinking of shoulders. Ah yes, from his ending we now realize the cooler better design was the fake while the Optimus Prime looking good version is the real deal. I was not a fan and still have some reservations about it. I see you discovered crouch slash.

[@Krizalid99v2]

For the longest time ever, I always thought that his main/default design was the Optimus Prime one... funny how you learn new things years later. Do I get any credit for that pure reaction time skill at 14:01?

[@Toomnyusernae]

I mean, I figured the Optimus Prime look was the default, I just didn't agree with it. When I found out later how the "clone" or ghost version was implemented I was even less impressed. Due to how much time I had spent with the first game. 14:01, I did have a mental chuckle. "So, finally recognize it's a low now eh?" You've been to this restaurant a few times, I thought you'd be in the kitchen more often. Almost making me want to put down KoFXIII to go test some questions I have with this game. I wrote a cryptic note for myself years ago. Something about Hayato possibly having a taunt. I must have saw it somewhere and made a note. Have something for you on gamefaq when I'm done. Not a FAQ.

What does bil say when he wins at 3.23

[@Kharam2010]

Hello can someone teach me how to unlock super bilstein?

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

Think you have to beat it within 4 mins or 3 mins, then you'll fight plasma bilstein

[@Toomnyusernae]

The only method to use the character is by code for both arcade and PS1 unfortunately. to earn the right to fight against him you must beat all characters within a short time. Time varies depending on the number of rounds you choose. I think 4 rounds set you have to beat it under 11 minutes?

I hate Rimgal's screeches.
