The game uses a side-view 2D fighting perspective with round-based matches. Players move, jump, crouch, block, and attack using punch and kick buttons with multiple strengths. Each character has unique special moves, throws, and combo routes. Single-player mode pits the player against a sequence of CPU opponents, ending with a character-specific conclusion after victory.
