===== ABOUT JONES =====
Jones is a character originally from Rage of the Dragons, which was released in 2002, around a year earlier than Matrimelee... as the character spritework in the latter are drawn in the same style as ROTD, it was an easy opportunity to "bring over" 4 unique hidden characters for Matrimelee.
In his Ippatsu Ougi, his ROTD partner Kang makes an appearance.
===== TRIVIA =====
---- The input command to unlock the 4 hidden characters is the same one used to unlock Abubo in Rage of the Dragons.
---- His design is loosely based upon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
---- In Japan, the game is known as Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku: Toukon -Matrimelee (新豪血寺一族 闘婚 -Matrimelee-)
