To combat this, fighters have a multitude of resources at their hands, including:
• Incredible, seamless tag team action.
• A multitude of devastating combos, defensive and offensive moves across the game’s 13 unique playable characters.
• Powerful abilities from series icons Billy and Jimmy Lee alongside Marian, returning as a fully realized, firearm-wielding ranged fighter.
