***Saikin Fighters***, also known as ***Recent Fighters*** is a fighting video game developed by Spike Chunsoft and published by Bandai Namco Entertainemt, featuring characters from newer series based around the years of 2010 and 2020. The game is set to be released in 2019 on the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

The game will only feature a crossover of the franchises that made their debut around 2010 through 2020.

The franchises itself will all come from each genre: Video Games, Cartoons, Anime and Manga, and Web Shows that debuted around the 2010 to 2020 era.

## Gameplay

The game plays very similar to that of Jump Force, being a 3-on-3 tag team open arena battle, the characters will have the following inputs: Rush, Heavy, Throw, Awakening, Rush Up, Rush Down, Smash, Heavy Smash, Smash Up, Smash Down, Pound Attack, and High Speed Counterattack as their basic moves as they will have four more moves which are their special attacks, three of them are their special attacks while their fourth one is an **Ultimate** move which acts as a finisher ranging from connecting a hit to the opponent to a move where a incoming one shot projectile or multiple hit blast attack hits.

During each battle, all characters from each of their team will all share 1 healthbar, and there will be a total of 2 (3 if the other team wins Round 2).

Another mechanic is that **Stage Transactions** can occur if a player or a CPU does a heavy smash then a smash attack after to launch the opponent into a different area of the arena.

Some characters also have a Ultimate Awakening which allows them to transform beyond their normal level of super form, going beyond that for example, Baxter can go Super X1 as his Awakening, but he can go Super Psych X1 in his Ultimate Awakening.

## Modes

### Offline Mode

* **Single Player**: Single Player mode allows the player to fight the CPUs, the player can change the difficulty of the CPUs as well.
* **Multiplayer**: During Multiplayer mode, a second player will join in the fight against you. Hope things turn out well during the fight.
* **1-v-1 Mode**: This mode allows only 1 character against another and cannot have a 3-v-3 tag team, instead a 1-v-1.
* **Instant Karma**: In this mode, the high-speed counterattack can be used very easily to get out of a combo that you're being punished in. When you time it right, you will get a big power boost and give your foes a taste of their own medicine, use it wisely thought.
* **Story Mode**: Story Mode will tell the story of how these characters all come together as they face their worst foe yet, bent on recreating the world as we know it!

### Online Mode

* **Regular**: Fight against another player online in a 3-v-3 tag team aspect.
* **6 Player Tag Team**: In this mode, each player selects their own character and is randomly placed as a team. One player fights another while the other 4 spectate until they are selected to go out to fight, plays very similar to Dragon Ball Fighterz's mode with the same aspect.
* **Instant Karma: Online Edition**: Same thing with the Offline version, except it is with the players you fight against.
* **Spectate**: In this mode, you get to freely watch a match between 2 players with 3 characters on each of their team.

### Training Mode

Training Mode allows a 3-v-3 tag team asset where the player can freely attack an idling CPU who plays like a punching bag. They can change the settings to make the CPU act differently like running away or attacking the foe. Even allowing them to constantly Jump.
