About the game

GAME SYSTEM This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages. Bring the fast-paced action of head-to-head arcade fighting games to your tabletop with the Exceed Fighting System, which features fast-paced, intuitive mechanisms and gameplay that's accessible to gamers and non-gamers of all skill levels. Choose your fighter from an ever-growing roster of diverse characters, each with their own deck of special moves and supers. Play your cards to unleash fireballs, dragon punches, and deadly combos on your opponents! Titles in the Exceed Fighting System come in one of two forms: standalone games that contain decks that allow two players to compete against one another, and individual decks. The standalone games are being released in "seasons", with each season containing sixteen fighters from various franchises or worlds that are packaged into four-character boxes. Any deck can be played against any other deck, allowing you to compete across seasons and across worlds. Season 1 features the art and characters of Jasco Games' Red Horizon, which was first featured in the UFS Collectible Card Game. Season 2 features the monstrous heroes and villains of Seventh Cross, an upcoming game world from Level 99 Games. Season 3 features iconic, fan-favorite, well-known characters from Capcom's Street Fighter. Season 4 features the heroes and villains of Shovel Knight.
