The three punch and kick buttons comprise of weak, medium, and strong attacks. Using combinations of buttons can trigger special moves such as fireballs and thrust attacks. There are also finishing moves called "Overkills" which is a basic attack that triggers a unique death animation.

Four game modes are available. This includes Tournament Mode (Arcade single player Mode), Vs. Battle (2 player vs. mode), Quest Mode (Story mode), and Battle Demo Mode (Watch 2 CPU opponents battle).
