PPGD: Battle in Megaville

(The No-Music Version!)
I removed the music due to breaking some dA rules with copyright music.
At first, I wanted to replace it with royalty-free music, but nothing seemed to sound right.
But then again, some people wanted to turn off the music anyway...
And nope, nothing else has changed. Still the same version 1.14.

The With-Music version can be found at Newgrounds: [link]

(Even if you hate the original Powerpuff Girls, give Bleedman's Doujinshi a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.)

Critque Encouraged:
Yeah, this time I'm looking for some more feedback beyond the typical "Hey, good stuff!". I want to know what's bad about it, what's good about it, and what you would've liked to see in it. Of course, if you're feeling lazy, that's okay too.

Info:
Ah yes, a medium to test yet another game engine. I wanted it to have a half-decent combo system.
The controls and gameplay may seem a bit strange for a fighting game.. I guess I was feeling experimental.
It shouldn't be too hard to get a hang of, but it may take time to master some techniques.
The AI should be 'slightly' more interesting than the one in Etherena Beta..
just in the fact that it doesn't chase you indefinitely and sometimes tries to attack from a distance.
The story.. well, it's based on the doujinshi, but I had to twist a little just because well, some of these things never happened in the original story.. (Don't hurt me please. )

Controls:
Please pay attention to the controls on the loading screen. They are changeable while on the loading screen or from the Options menu.
To select your character on the selection screen, you need to hit your attack button! (By default, use 'F' or 'G')
There is a "How-to-Play" in the main menu that you can use for reference on the play mechanics.

Secrets:
There are a few unlockables. If you can't figure out how to get them, there's some hints... [link]

Found a bug?
Then please let me know. I like fixing bugs.

Things I'm Aware Of (that you may or may not notice):
1. the character pics on the character selection screen are outside of the boxes
-> just my personal aesthetic preference
2. the combos use the keys F and G, not A and B
-> A and B stand for 'Attack A' and 'Attack B'
3. the powerpuff girls change uniform between different attacks
-> my use of incoherent sprites (did not feel motivated to edit them all, praying you don't notice)
4. How do I beat Zim?!
-> He's vulnerable to a certain laser attack..
5. WHY CAN'T I SELECT MY CHARACTER??!
-> try hitting 'F' or 'G' (your default attack buttons)
-> in some rare cases, your computer might be using different key codes. if that is the case, try re-configuring the controls in the options.
6. How do you pause?
-> Hit the ENTER key!
7. The characters are walking into invisible walls?!
-> Actually, I figured out why this happens now, through lots of hardcore testing. Apparently, Flash's hitTest() function acts fairly unpredictable when you scroll/zoom in and out. Still working on the best possible fix for this.
