Gameplay
One aspect of the game is an exaggerated physics engine which allows characters to be launched several feet into the air as a result of attacks. The game also has a multiplayer function which accommodates four players at once. As they progress through the game, characters receive grades, of which 'S-class' is the highest. The game has a survival mode which has been said to be extremely difficult and can usually only be finished with certain characters, depending on the player's skill.[[Citing sources citation needed]] The reward for defeating all 50 foes in survival mode is an alternate costume for Sion (a black hooded sweatshirt).Characters
