Seeing/reading discussion about SSV hardware elsewhere days earlier and reading Haze's recent SSV update blog, I was looking at entries of Sammy and Seta on undumped WIKI pages to guess what SSV hardware game could be added in the future. That's why others also were making guesses as well including this entry likely being the new addition.

[Deadly Spode] (Sammy [prototype], 93)

While "Deadly Sport" might make more sense as a title, the Japanese katakana does appear to read "Deadly Spode". The original scan also says "© Summy 1993" though, so until an actual screenshot of the title screen is found I guess we won't know for sure!

More info from Shimapong:
SSV but unreleased. AKA : Street Browl. Street Browl is first title of Deadly Spode.

Some time ago, an acquaintance was asking me 'when will "Deadly Splode" be emulated?'

I didn't know what game that was. I had to ask him again about the game and he finally was able to point to a link to Bobby Tribble's unMAMEd page to the exact game he was asking about. He kept mistakenly calling the game name "Deadly Splode" until he realized what the exact game name was.

I do like the name "Deadly Splode". Sounds just as good as "Don Bear Near".
