Main article: Bleach the King of Fighters SuperNOVA/Gameplay
Unlike the first game, which was based on the two-strength, four button system of punches and kicks (*The King of Fighters* format), *Bleach the King of Fighters SuperNOVA* is based on the three strength system of punches and kicks (weak, medium, and hard), native to the *Street Fighter* series, and the SNK characters have been tweaked to fit the 6-button style. There is also the addition of "Awakening Move". When certain conditions are met, a character may trigger their Awakening Move. These techniques are more powerful than the standard Ultimate Move and, as the name implies, "awakens" a character's powers.

After the release of *Bleach the King of Fighters EXTREME* and *Bleach the King of Fighters STRIKE, series director Hidetoshi Ishizawa left SNK due to pressure with such game.
