The Action Replay code FFC8D5:00XX, where "XX" is a hexadecimal number between 00 and 0F, will set player 1's current character, irrespective of what they have chosen on the character selection screen. 00, 02, 03 and 04 are Broude Kragger, Kain Grinder, Chronos Lait and Sarah Barn, respectively, however there are others that can be chosen as the table below shows.

Note that most will crash the game if you attempt to perform a special mode, and many are missing animations. Some enemies have much higher top speeds than the "normal" characters, so will travel much further when controlled by the computer (e.g. the introduction sequence).

Attempting to set the value to 0F or higher usually causes the game to break, though some values offer limited control.
