Playstyle
It has similarities to both Tekken in it's methodical pacing to fights and lengthy button combos that once connected, will not give chance to block and 3D arenas that can be broken to revels extra subarenas, but also takes lessons from Street Fighter in it's short and simple strings that can be merged into combos that can (and will, if placed correctly) devastate foes like Street Fighter.
The game also has a beast mode which allows characters to transform into beasts and have a greater attack power and defensive power for a short amount of time. It is in these modes that super moves (two per character) are available for use. The beast mode is governed by a beast gauge that can fill completely twice; without the beast mode will not activate, thought the character will do the animation to transform regardless, with a single fill, the beast mode will activate and raise attack power and allow activation of super moves, super moves will usually decrease the opponent's life gauge by half but completely drain the beast gauge. Two full fills of the gauge turn it red and it will not charge furthr than this, it also allows free activation of "hyper beast" mode which constantly drains the gauge at a fast rate, but which allows unlimited uses of super moves until it depletes fully. Hyper Beast Mode is activated by pressing punch, kick and beast at the same time.
