How it plays
Two players fight on one screen or online.
Online, a group can share a Player Match session and take turns, across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
The story mode is solo.
Each fighter has a long move list that rewards practice, so a newcomer facing an experienced friend will lose most rounds at first.
