The game plays as a single-player tournament fighter with a side-view battle presentation. Players face a sequence of opponents across different matches, using punches, kicks, jumps, and throws to win fights. A key feature is the RPG-style stat progression, where winning battles can improve character performance over time. As opponents become stronger, spacing, timing, and character development become increasingly important.

Learn each fighter's reach, startup timing, and knockback patterns before relying on repeated attacks.

If stats can be improved, prioritize offense and survivability so later opponents do not overwhelm you quickly.
