The game uses a side-view 2D fighting format where each player controls a team of two characters and can switch between them during battle. Core systems include partner assists, air combos, super moves, and Variable Cross sequences that enable long, damaging strings. Progression follows arcade-mode stages against CPU opponents, while match strategy revolves around life management, timing swaps, and confirming hits into high-damage follow-ups.
