The game uses a side-view one-on-one format with rounds fought across a series of opponents. Players use punches, kicks, throws, charge attacks, and special moves, while the spirit gauge limits repeated use of powerful techniques. Movement spacing matters heavily, and taunts can reduce an opponent's spirit, creating openings. Progress advances through a fixed ladder of fights leading to the ending sequence.

Learn each character's preferred range and avoid spending spirit recklessly. Charge attacks are most effective when used after baiting a response or during clear openings. Taunts can be useful, but only when you have enough space to avoid punishment. Against bosses, patient spacing and safe punishes are usually stronger than constant aggression.
