Its emphasis on cinematic violence and environmental interaction sets it apart – expect exaggerated physics, destructible stages, and graphic finishing moves that lean into its "no-holds-barred" theme.
How do I perform special moves consistently?
Timing is crucial: input directional commands (e.g., ←↙↓↘→) before pressing attack buttons. Practice in training mode to master character-specific combos like cyclone kicks or seismic slams.
Are there secret characters? How do I unlock them?
Yes! Defeat the final boss without losing a single round to unlock "Reaper," or complete Arcade Mode with all base fighters to access "Spectre." Both feature unique move sets and alternate costumes.
