Game Rules

3-on-3 Team Versus

Fights are held in 3-on-3 team battles. A match is decided when all three characters on the opposing team are beaten. When a character wins, their remaining life is carried over to the next round (and may recover slightly, depending on the time left at victory).
When one character is defeated and the next appears, that player's power gauge gains an extra bar, and the gauge maximum is increased by one (up to a maximum of five gauges).

Round Win Conditions

Reducing the opponent's life to zero within the time limit results in a K.O. victory. In the event that time runs out, the player with more life left over is declared the winner.

Round Draw Conditions

If the life of both characters is reduced to zero within the time limit, a Double K.O. occurs, resulting in a draw. A draw also occurs if both characters have the same amount of life when time runs out.

(You can set the time limit in Options, under the Game Options menu.)

1-on-1 Single Versus

Fights are held in 1-on-1 solo battles. The first player to win two rounds (with default settings) is the winner. Win and draw conditions for each round are the same as Team Versus, but each round starts with both characters at maximum life.
(You can set the number of rounds in Options, under the Game Options menu.)
