Summary 08048: viofight and clones: Corrupt graphics in background audience member's head.
Description On the tiger bonus stage one of the two frames of animation is very unflattering for the poor blonde gentleman in the back row of the audience. This is the same in all three sets.

You can see the broken graphics in the F4 GFX viewer.
These gfx1 region entries look bad to me:
0000, 0001?,
1000, 1001,
2000, 2001,
3000, 3001

The crowd guy uses gfx 1000, 1001.
I'm attaching a screenshot of stars and stripes enemy, at that animation frame, part of his pants use gfx 3000, 3001.

GFX viewer looks fine on other games with this chip/same gfx layout. So I suspect a bad dump of the gfx roms.
After the 1st set was dumped and presumed to have correct gfx rom dumps, were only the program roms dumped for other regions? If so, we need a redump of the gfx roms.

The glitched graphics are still present in the Arcade Archives release of the game. (Timestamped at 4:09)

If it was a bad dump then this would've been addressed here.

Also this claims to be from the PC version of Taito Legends 2 (timestamped at 5:31), same corruption:

The graphics are fixed in the US PS2 version of Legends 2 too, so it's a fix that they applied to that version of the set only.

Guru dumped his pcb (which is not the same one as the one MAME was dumped from). The mask roms match MAME.
He also played until the tiger stage, corrupted tile gfx happens there on pcb too.
See: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/6c70074b70411aad2253a74959e0e0c75eaf5a2d

Looking more closely at the PS2 version: They fixed the guy's face, but his arm still looks wrong. The one where he holds his ticket or pet handkerchief. You can see the hand and forearm look glitchy.
