Bloody Roar 4, the latest game in the series, may be the most complex of the series, with the largest fighter roster of seventeen characters, and the ability to earn more moves by earning experience in 'Career Mode'.Ĭharacters in the Bloody Roar series include: As well as this, the combat system has three types of dodging techniques: a heavy and light block that spans over three parts of the body, instead of the typical two in most fighting games and 'Scratch' techniques, which can break guards from dead angles and is a series of command counters, throws and vanishing attacks. These cancel points, when utilized with command moves, can then be cancelled once more, allowing the player to begin a new strategy with adequate timing.

These cancel points, from character to character, can be around twenty to forty in each character's combo palette. Every character also comes with at least eight command moves, which can be incorporated into cancel points in these standard moves or combos. Each character has around fourteen 'suggested' combination techniques listed in the manual, most of these can be varied into many different ways, allowing nearly forty to seventy combination techniques with each character. Command moves are special moves that require a rolling technique and inputting certain commands with the directional pad, like Street Fighter. Standard moves are the combination style moves from games such as Tekken, where the player must press different buttons to create 'combos', sometimes pressing the directional pad in one of the eight directions at the same time. For example, Yugo has a completely different move set in the fourth title compared to his original in the first and Bakuryu has stayed almost the same apart from a few extras which are relevant to the games' evolution over time and generations.Ĭharacters in Bloody Roar have command moves and standard moves. Although some of the characters have remained almost identical through all four games, others have changed completely.

The Bloody Roar series is a 3D fighting game in the same vein as Tekken, Dead or Alive, Soulcalibur and Virtua Fighter. A button each for both punch and kick, the beast (transform/attack) button and a fourth button that has been either a throw button, a block button, an evade button (introduced for some characters in Bloody Roar 4) and a rave button (an early version of the Hyper Beast in the original Bloody Roar only). Bloody Roar has kept somewhat the same controls over the series.
