I went to the code sections at GameFaqs and got the following info. How true are these codes?
Fight against Athena
To get this and a happy ending with your fighting character, you must finish off Shin Akuma or Shin Mr. Karate with a Super move or an Exceed for both rounds. If you do this correctly, you will have a scene of your character being transported to the heavens, where you fight Athena. One word of warning: if you get beaten by her, you will get the bad ending and it's game over!
Final Boss Codes
At the title screen, press and hold start,input the codes:
Up, Down, Right (x3), Down, Left, Up - Athena
Down, Up (x3), Down, Left, Right, Left - Red Arremer
Up (x5), Down, Left - Shin Akuma
Down, Left, Right (x3), Up, Down - Shin Mr. Karate

Here's a link to the thread at neo-geo.com in which neojedi posted his webcam snapshots of the pages in the SVC mook that explained how the CPU decides which opponents to throw at you, and in which order (along with my translations of them):

Here's a direct link to the snapshot of the chart explaining the conditions needed for an appearance by either Athena or Red Arremer:

I heard to get RA you need to win at least 1 match with chip/tick damage, plus the conditions listed by Chris.

Do Exceeds not count as special moves? Doesn't time have something to do with it too?
SVC awards different victory marks depending on how a round is won:
V (blue) = Time Up
V (green) = Normal Victory, ending with a Normal Attack (punch, kick, etc.) or Normal Throw
V (red) = Perfect Victory, ending with a Normal Attack (punch, kick, etc.) or Normal Throw
D (blue) = Double KO (Normal Attack)
D (green) = Double KO (Hissatsuwaza)
S (green) = Normal Victory, ending with an Hissatsuwaza
S (black) = Normal Victory, ending with Hissatsuwaza tick-damage / chip-damage
S (red) = Perfect Victory, ending with an Hissatsuwaza
S+ (green) = Normal Victory, ending with a Chou Hissatsuwaza
S+ (black) = Normal Victory, ending with Chou Hissatsuwaza tick-damage / chip-damage
S+ (red) = Perfect Victory, ending with a Chou Hissatsuwaza
Ex (green) = EXCEED
For those not familiar with Japanese classifications of different types of techniques:
Hissatsuwaza [Sure-Kill Technique].....usually called "special moves" by English speakers, Hissatsuwaza are techniques (such as Ryu's "Hadouken," Guile's "Somersault Kick," Terry's "Power Dunk," and Joe's "Hurricane Upper") that require a simple Lever-Command + Button combination (such as 236 + A or C) to execute. An Hissatsuwaza will not reduce the Groove Power Gauge level when performed.
Chou Hissatsuwaza [Super Sure-Kill Technique].....usually called "desperation moves" [DM] or "super combos" by English speakers, Chou Hissatsuwaza are more powerful techniques (such as Ryu's "Shinkuu Hadouken," Guile's "Somersault Strike," Terry's "Power Geyser," and Joe's "Screw Upper") that require a more complex Lever-Command + Button combination (such as 236236 + AC or 2141236 + BD) to execute. A Chou Hissatsuwaza will reduce the GPG by 1 level when performed.
EXCEED.....similar to the KOF Series' "MAX Chou Hissatsuwaza" (usually called "super desperation moves" [SDM] by English speakers), an EXCEED is an even more powerful technique that requires a more complex Lever-Command + Button combination to execute. However, the conditions that must exist to allow an EXCEED to be performed are slightly different. Your life gauge must be at 50% or less (i.e., only the red portion of your life gauge remains), and your GPG must be at Lv1 or higher. Your character's name will flash when your life gauge falls to 50% or less, and will stop flashing when the EXCEED is performed. You may only perform an EXCEED once during a match.
In the aforelinked snapshot, the Red Arremer requirement reads "clear the first 7 battles with 5 or more Hissatsuwaza KOs (chip-damage victories are OK)." As shown in the above victory mark list, Hissatsuwaza KOs are indicated by the letter S (green for a normal victory, black for a chip-damage victory, and red for a perfect victory). Therefore, a simpler way of expressing the Red Arremer Hissatsuwaza KO requirement would be:
"clear the first 7 battles with 5 or more 'S' victory marks (of any color)."
So, black 'S' victory marks will count toward the minimum of 5, but they are not required.*
According to the SVC mook's explanations, EXCEED KOs and Chou Hissatsuwaza KOs do not count as Hissatsuwaza KOs, because they result in a different victory mark (a green, black, or red 'S+' for a Chou Hissatsuwaza KO, and a green 'Ex' for an EXCEED KO).
According to the SVC mook's explanations, time is not a factor.
--Chris
* Think of it this way:
Heaven will forbid you entry if you are a "cheap bastard" (if you score even one chip-damage victory).
Hell is not so particular -- while you can be a "cheap bastard" and gain admittance to Hell, they won't refuse you if you're not "cheap" (chip-damage victories are not required).

Thanks, I think I understand now. I was just trying way too hard. Is this how it is?
If you get 5 "S" wins and don't lose a round, you always get Red Arremer.
Less than 5 "S" wins, no "grey" victories, and no lost rounds will get you to Athena.
Red Arremer appears if...
You get 5 "S" wins and don't lose a round.
Athena appears if...
You get no "Black S" wins and don't lose a round.
Remember: if you lose a round, then continue against that opponent and win both rounds, the CPU will not count your initial loss against that character. So, you can continue all you like, as long as you ultimately defeat each opponent 2-0 (a 2-1 victory will count as a loss, and you will not face the hidden bosses).

The only question left is: do "S+" wins count the same as "S" or not?
As I understand it, "S+" and "Ex" victories don't count as "S" victories (based on the way the conditions were explained by the SVC mook). If someone were willing to experiment with this, I'd be interested to hear the results (although it sounds like Gojira (in his 10/22 post) tried this, scoring EXCEED wins against each opponent, but didn't get a hidden boss).

I think there might be other factors too that may have contributed to the failure.
I don't think you can get to any hidden bosses if you challenged the original player and won, even if he was only on the first match. I say this because the machine in my area has a messed up 1P side but you can't start on the 2P side unless it's to challenge 1P. So I tried playing on 2P side after beating 1P and that may have prevented me from being allowed to see any hidden bosses (I didn't get any of the hidden mid-bosses either).
Also you might have to win battle 8 with no losses either. I think in one of my attempts I lost a round to Shin Gouki.
Well, at least I can do it now. I saw Kyo's ending yesterday, so the details are close enough.
