Roster

24 fighters. One block.

Every fighter is a character from the 1996 film Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Every fighter has a Special, a unique signature move (toward + heavy kick), two Supers, a cinematic Ultra and a throwable item with four uses per round. After you lock your fighter you pick an assist partner from the same grid; any other fighter can run in to help when you call them. Each fighter also has a rival.
