The game uses a 3D head-to-head fighting format where players choose from a roster of martial artists and battle in one-on-one rounds. Controls revolve around guard, punch, and kick, with directional inputs creating throws, launchers, counters, and combos. Some arenas have ring-out edges, allowing instant round wins by knocking opponents out. Arcade progression is based on consecutive matches, with success depending on spacing, punishment, timing, and matchup knowledge.

Beginners should first learn guarding, throw escapes, and guaranteed punishers before attempting advanced combos. Avoid attacking constantly; instead, use spacing and movement to bait whiffs and answer with reliable strikes. Against grapplers, do not stay too close for too long, and near ring-out stages always watch your positioning. Learning each character's common starters, unsafe moves, and preferred range will significantly improve consistency.
