Combat is smoother and more cinematic with expanded animations, reactive arenas, polished fighter artwork, clearer close-range action, and more strategic rounds. This update also improves post-fight coaching, input reliability, accessibility, and layouts across iPhone and iPad.

STORY MODE Six interlocking campaigns through Meridian Hollow — one for every fighter. Dialogue before every fight, a personal rival waiting at the end, and a different ending for each. Finish all six and something hidden opens up. SURVIVAL An endless bracket that sharpens with every win. Chase your best streak. SIGNATURE TECHNIQUES Every fighter now has a second augment move. Spend 40% meter for their signature technique, or bank the full bar for the super — six new techniques and six rebuilt supers, each with its own artwork. REBUILT MOVEMENT AND IMPACT Walk cycles that grip the floor instead of sliding. Faster, committed jumps. Separate reactions for head and body hits. Follow-through on heavy swings. Camera punch on big blows, and a K.O. moment worth watching. NEW SOUND Every impact rebuilt from the ground up, plus an original score that tightens as a round gets close, and new swing, footstep, and landing audio. MORE ANIMATION Every fighter redrawn across 36 poses, up from 17.
