The game decides matches through taunts rather than damage: four keys handle move left, move right, attack, and taunt, and taunting shifts a gauge at the top of the screen. It has 14 characters with different stats and taunt lines voiced through VOICEVOX, and offers local, CPU, and online play. It is 265 yen, discounted 40 percent to 159 yen until September 22.","whyItMatters":"A fighting game that scores taunts instead of damage turns the genre's most common bad-manner habit into its actual ruleset, which is a cheap and specific enough hook to sell on Steam at 159 yen.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMatches run best-of-two rounds of 30 seconds each, and the rules make physical damage irrelevant.
