About this game
HAL Laboratory's 2001 GameCube fighting game, where nobody has a health bar. Hits build a damage percentage instead, and the higher yours goes the further you fly, so a match is not about draining someone, it is about getting them off the edge of the level. Fourteen characters to start and eleven more to unlock, with a pile of single player modes around the edges. Its engine allows moves nobody designed, wavedashing among them. The tournament scene that grew up around those moves never went away.
