The game uses a side-view 2D fighting format where players select a character for arcade mode or head-to-head matches. Core controls include light, medium, and heavy punches and kicks, jumping, dashing, backstepping, and throws. Its defining mechanic is parrying, which lets players negate attacks with precise timing. Super Arts are powered by a meter, and matches focus heavily on spacing, confirms, anti-airs, and momentum control.
Alex
The main protagonist, a grappler-style fighter with strong close-range pressure and throws.
Ryu
A returning series icon with a balanced and fundamental moveset.
Ken
A more aggressive karate fighter with speed and strong offensive pressure.
Chun-Li
A classic character known for fast kicks and excellent control tools.
Necro
An experimental fighter with elastic attacks and unusual movement.
Ibuki
A young ninja who specializes in speed, mobility, and tricky chains.
Oro
A mysterious old hermit with unconventional techniques and unique properties.
Dudley
A refined boxer built around pressure, links, and damaging punches.
Elena
A nimble fighter who uses long-reaching kicks and fluid movement.
Gill
The final boss, possessing overwhelming power and special abilities.
Beginners should start with Ryu or Ken to learn spacing, anti-air timing, and basic confirms. Avoid jumping carelessly, since grounded control is more important than reckless offense. Practice parrying against obvious fireballs and jump-ins before trying advanced reads. Build meter carefully and use Super Arts when you can confirm hits rather than throwing them out at random.
Tips and tricks
Learn each character's anti-air normals and basic punish routes first.
Tips and tricks
Parrying is powerful, but overusing predictive parries can get you thrown.
Tips and tricks
Meter management often decides how threatening your neutral game becomes.
