...all 3 of you. 
A couple months ago I tripped across an ebay auction for a BloodStorm moves list. From the pictures it looked like this was something other than a random printout of a FAQ. Purchased it and when it got here it seems I tripped across something interesting. Headed with "CONFIDENTIAL Bloodstorm Special Move List (V2.16)" I doubt it's some kind of internal company document, but there's parts that refer to things I haven't seen documented anywhere else. Unfortunately "refer" translates to something in there where the details are blacked out.
-Stage Fatalities for Obsel Desert and Black Armada
-4 other hidden/secret/boss whatever characters I've never heard of (Roxl, Revenge, Medula and Jaundice.
The 4 extra characters are in the sections on how to fight the different secret agents as well as the sections on hidden character passwords. Outside of the names, all of that is blacked out. In the hidden character password section it also has Blood, Shadow and Nekron, with the codes blacked out and all marked "(Do not use)", likely because those codes weren't usable until rev. 2.20. Were they in there and nobody has found them up to this point? Unlikely. Were they planned and the development on it stopped before they could be put in? Possible. Short of having a conversation with someone who worked on the game, that answer will probably never come.
I've never tripped across this before, hopefully nobody will jump in with "yeah, known about forever, here's an earlier scan", but such is life if that's the case. Here's a pdf, I'm working on getting it to be a combination of text and images but am having a hell of a time keeping the redacting pattern as an image without an OCR attempt:

It looks fine in Adobe reader, but OS X Preview starts butchering the hell out of it if you go back a page, I'm really not sure what's up with that. If anyone knows how to correct that, let me know.
