Gameplay[]

The game has eight playable characters at the start with some other hidden characters that can be unlocked under certain conditions. Each character has their own normal moves, special moves, specialty and lineage. the player should defeat eight characters controlled by the computer in order to fight against the boss of the game who will vary depending of the lineage of the player's character. Once the player defeat the boss the staff roll credits are shown and the game is over.

The game uses a 3 buttons layout being one button for punch, one for kick and one for guard. the animation and/or strength of the attack may vary depending of how quick the buttons are pressed. By pressing the guard and the punch button together the throwing move of each character is performed. The special move of each characters are performed by making combinations of buttons and stick movements. As usual in fighting games the special moves cause more damage to the rival. When the energy bar of one of the characters gets empty the round is over, being the winner of the match the one who wins twos rounds.

All the character can punish a rival who is lying on the flor by pressing up + the punch button, pressing this combination will cause the character will throw him/her self at a defenseless opponent.

Right under the energy bar of each player is a the "Speciality Bar", this bar is progressively filled by attacking the opponent or taking damage. When the bar is totally full, pressing the guard, kick and punch buttons at the same time the character gets into Sol/Lunar(depending of the character specialty) Attack mode, when the character is into the Sol/lunar release he/she will be invulnerable for a few seconds allowing to build power. the power will slowly decrease but while the character have power will be able to perform these moves:

Sol/ Lunar Assault: by pressing down twice plus guard, kick and punch buttons together. is an attack that varies depending of the character.

Bounce Attacks: Pressing down, up plus kick button, the character will jump to grasp the ceiling, then launching him/her self to the opponent.
