Players select a fighter and battle opponents in side-view arena matches. Movement uses directional inputs for walking, jumping, and crouching defense, while attack buttons handle punches, kicks, throws, and special moves. Matches are round-based with a health gauge and time limit, and progression means facing a sequence of increasingly difficult CPU opponents. Each character has different reach, speed, and special move properties, so spacing and punishment are central to success.
Samanov
A power-based Russian fighter who relies on close-range pressure and heavy strikes.
Liu Feilin
A fast martial artist with strong mid-range pokes and combo potential.
Muscle Jones
A wrestling-style grappler from the U.S. who specializes in throws and clinches.
Feilin
A quick female fighter known for fast kicks and agile movement.
Matador
A stylish Spanish bullfighter-type character with technical, flashy attacks.
Learn each character's best poke range and use safe pressure before attempting risky rushdowns. Against CPU opponents, patience and punishment are usually stronger than constant offense. Use crouch guard often, react to jump-ins carefully, and practice one reliable special move input until it becomes consistent. If your fighter has a strong throw, look for defensive opponents and wake-up situations.
Tips and tricks
Master defense first, then move on to combos and special moves.
