Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors

Introduction

Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors is a 2D fighting game originally released by Sunsoft in 1995. It features a neat pixel art style and a cast of 8 playable characters. The most immediately notable gameplay features are infinite stages (meaning no corners) and a bonkers Guard Cancel system, allowing you to execute dashes and specials while blocking.

Game Mechanics

Buttons:

There are three normal attack buttons and a taunt button.

• - Weak Attack
• - Medium Attack
• - Strong Attack
• - Taunt

Throws:

• While close to an opponent, or + // button (depending on character; usually B or C).
• Throws are instant.
• If both players throw at the same time, the winner will be randomly selected.
• Some characters can also air-throw.

Back Dash:

• 
• Strike invincibility.

Forward Dash:

• . The character will keep dashing until you stop.
• You can stop dashing by inputting or by doing any attack. Doing a weak attack is a common way to stop dashing, as it keeps some of the dash momentum.
• Attacks done while dashing deal 50% more damage.
• Medium and Strong normal attacks while dashing deal chip damage.
• Some dash attacks may also cause a huge blowback to the opponent when hit, during which your character will automatically auto-chase. Some dash attacks need to hit multiple times for this to occur.

Guard Cancel:

• While blocking, you can Guard Cancel to either dash OR a special move.
• Special moves lose their invincibility (if any) when Guard Cancelled to.
• Back Dashing while guarding is a good way to escape pressure.

Other Mechanics

• All attacks that are special cancellable, may also be cancelled to either forward- or back dash. This can be used to extend combos or pressure, or to make attacks safe.
