Exploding Judo Federation

Exploding Judo Federation is a fast-paced 1v1 fighting game built around lethal grabs. You use strikes to create openings, roll around the stage to position yourself and grab at the right moment. There is no blocking; movement, dodging and timing are central to each match.

Combat

The game uses five buttons: punch, kick, grab, dash and roll. Full 3D movement lets you dodge and reposition, while each character has a super move that can immediately end a match. These include an invincible grab, a counterattack and a full-screen laser.

Characters and stages

There are 13 standard characters, three unlockable boss characters and a gun-headed goon who can only beat the champ with a very lucky random grab. Play as Callowman from Duels of Fortune or Dana Zane from the visual novel VA-11 Hall-A. The roster also includes a psychopathic dabbing killer robot reinstalled into a bunny droid body, and a giant kaiju robot with plasma chainsaws and a full-screen laser.

The game has ten stages, along with the classic grid and a green-screen stage for photobashing.

Game modes

Arcade, survival and time attack modes are available, along with tutorial and training modes. Local versus play is supported; online modes are not planned.
