It now uses tag-team battles, giving the player to select two characters. Combos can be executed individually or by switching characters, giving some extra hits on the combo. Super Moves can now be combined, giving the player to potentially cover the whole screen with to Super Moves. A new move called the "Reflecting Shield" is a feature where you can cancel an opponent's continous attack by punching while blocking.
