Each match is made up of two teams that can include one fighter or multiple fighters (up to 3) that can be switched out at various times. The life meter is a scale made up of energy from both sides that shifts depending on damage taken, and after one side is depleted, the character performs a special 'Meteo Attack', which takes place in a cut scene and finishes off the opponent. If the player uses all of their available ki their character will stop fighting out of exhaustion, leaving them wide open for an attack. The characters have a limited amount of ki that can be charged over time. The characters fly around each other and utilize rapid punches and kicks, and ki blasts, either singularly or rapidly by holding the assigned button for a short period.
Although each battle begins on the ground, the majority of the action is featured skyward. The graphics feature 2-D sprites in a three dimensional world. The game utilizes a unique system of play that is different from most other fighters.
