Play Toukidenshou - Angel Eyes Online

Capcom released Toukidenshou: Angel Eyes in arcades in 1997, a time when fighting games were a dominant force in those spaces. It was part of a wave of 2D fighters that tried to carve out a niche with unique character designs and mechanics, rather than just following the biggest franchises.

You control one of several martial artists, each with their own special moves and fighting style, engaging in one-on-one battles across various stages. The main objective is to defeat your opponent within a time limit, depleting their health bar with a combination of normal attacks, special moves, and super combos. Signature mechanics include a three-level super gauge that builds as you fight, allowing for more powerful attacks, and a guard crush system that punishes excessive blocking. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike sharply against later opponents. It feels like a straightforward, aggressive brawler where momentum shifts quickly.
