Battle Craze!!
is a 2D fighting game which emphasizes animation, character, and intense arcade-style gameplay in a world not too different from our own. This version of the game currently runs on SUEHIRO's I.K.E.M.E.N. GO engine.

Battle Craze follows the events of the Battle Craze Tournament Series, a martial arts competition that takes place every five years, with the best of the world willing to compete. Although, something else draws those to this tournament. A hidden threat? The promise of wealth? Scores to be settled? For Ajit Sinha, he's here to save the world from a foreseen destruction only known to him, and nothing will stop him.

FEATURES:

Unique Traits:
Each character has a unique status which makes each one stand out from the other. They will either always constantly be active, or are used via their Craze Technique.

Craze Technique: A unique manuver or power for each character that compliments their movelist or Unique Trait, usable by pressing either both Strong buttons, or C (this function's macro button).

Dire Counters: In addition to standard Counter Hits, which will deal extra damage, Battle Craze features Dire Counters, a special counter hit state that allows for stronger combo strings than standard special moves. Dire Counters are a result of hitting the opponent during recovery frames of certain command normals, specials, supers, and during their taunts. After landing a Dire Counter, the next time you use a move with a Dire Hit Property during that combo, the effect will trigger, extending the combo.

Craze Cancel: A global mechanic that uses the Craze Gauge to reset to neutral, with three different variants depending on the situation. Craze Cancels are activated by pressing either LP+SK, LK+SP, or the D and W macro buttons.

Side-C and Side-L: By pressing either Craze Cancel macro button over a character on the character select screen, you can choose between their Side-C and Side-L versions, which alters their Unique Trait, Craze Technique, specials, supers, and even Craze Gauge in rare cases. The changes are minimal, but substantial in how a character is played.

Some characters even boast a secret third side. Can you try to find them?

Latest reviews

unexpected pleasure to find this game and enjoy it!

pros;
-ALL ANIMATIONS ARE SUPER SMOOOTH WOAH NICE!!
-mugen but it isn't a crap mugen with cgi and loud noises
-okay voice acting is pretty cool!
-everyone has surprising personallity
-there's an evil palette with unique voice and entrance animations? yes please
-all 3 [4 including that dark palette?] forms of sherm are really funny
-evil sherm quotes will go down in history as best quotes
-I thought not everyone has voice actors but most say something when taking damage or dead. [maybe some could talk more?]
-please if you crossover with any fighting game, put sherm in it

cons;
-most qcf x2 + k moves seems to be mostly attack barrage then big hit
-isabella's animations turn into ikue. i assume its a placeholder [I played first build posted on SFGHQ]
-the tag button mechanic isn't explained very well. like maybe put in a tutorial video with basic mechanics similar to how smash bros do their tutorial vids. Best to do this instead of hiding it in a .readme folder or hidden in command list
-in Character select screen, please change tag and turns icons to a more visible colour


I'm starting a campaign called 'sherm will squirm' where sherm is wanted for several degrees of stealing cokeacola from everyone's fridges

you can use that idea if you need one for story mode. :)

I would love to play this again with a story mode that focuses on one main fighter or all fighters in one big story, like sonic adventure or mortal kombat.

Best of luck for future development!
