Get notified when it opensEvery fighter has their own specials and a full-meter ultimate: counters, command grabs, projectiles, overheads and sweeps.
Close out the match and call your finisher: car roofs, shattered backboards, salon chairs, trash cans. No blood. All disrespect.
Fight outside the corner store, under the overpass, on brownstone stoops and on the salon strip.
The roster
Thirteen fighters. All playable. Pick one and talk your trash.
Counter-Striker
“Old man strength. New man problems.”
Leather jacket, no weapons, no patience for sloppy offense. Throw a lazy jab and Marcus parries it, counters it, and gives you a free lesson.
Signature Counter Punch for your bad habits. Old School Combo for your ego.
Finisher Class Dismissed
A SCHOOL’S OUT! uppercut sends you over the railing and into the trash cans.
Heavy Grappler
“Slow walk. Heavy pipe. Bad news.”
Big Mike doesn’t run. He doesn’t need to. Every step shakes the camera, and your little jabs won’t even make him flinch mid-swing.
Signature Pipe Lane clears the sidewalk. Armor Frames mean your jabs bounce right off.
Finisher Heavy Metal
Hoists you overhead and slams you through a car roof. CRUNCH.
Erratic Rushdown
“Nobody knows what he’s doing. Including Eddie.”
Mismatched sneakers, busted puffer, zero game plan. His swings come from nowhere, and when you finally get him low, he gets twice as fast.
Signature Sidewalk Lunge from way too far. Broken Rhythm, because rhythm is for other people.
Finisher Dead Still
Twenty hits in two seconds. You hang in the air, the whole block goes dead silent, then you drop straight through the fruit stand.
Close-Quarters Rushdown
“Three-inch nails and a zero-scratch policy.”
She’ll file you down faster than a fill-in. Quick hands, neon acrylics, and an acetone spray that ruins your whole day.
Signature Press-On Pressure slices that keep stinging. Acetone Burst for anybody keeping their distance.
Finisher Fresh Set
Three neon nail strikes. A beat later your jacket bursts into ribbons and the NAILS sign falls apart. Her nails? Flawless.
Borough Brawler
“Talks trash. Swings gold. Brooklyn, baby.”
Those hoops aren’t jewelry, they’re brass knuckles. She’ll roast your fit, bob to her own beat, then spin straight through your jump-in.
Signature Hoop Spin for the jumpers. Borough Beat for anybody blocking low.
Finisher Crown Secured
Dunks on you so hard the backboard shatters. Posterized.
Long-Range Zoner
“Thirty inches of reach. Zero chill.”
Keisha’s weave cracks like a chain whip, and her flat iron is always hot. Stand full-screen if you want. She’s pulling you in anyway.
Signature Weave Snatch drags you across the screen into a knee. Flat-Iron Press for the walk-ins.
Finisher Next!
Spins you into the salon chair and drops the dryer hood. Blow-dried. Next!
Boxer-Wrestler
“Gym rat with a three-count habit.”
Drea “Brick” Carter came to prove her gym’s discipline beats your highlight reel. Body shots, clinch, throw, repeat.
Signature Brick by Brick to the ribs, then Corner Lease puts you exactly where she wants you.
Finisher The Three Count
Lifts you overhead and powerbombs you through a folding table. The whole crowd counts it: 1, 2, 3.
Precision Rushdown
“Every fight’s a piece. You’re the canvas.”
Malik “Inkline” Reed studies your spacing like a sketch, tags you with ink, then cashes it in. Patient, precise, dead serious about his work.
Signature Shader Sweep lays the outline. Touch-Up finishes what the ink started.
Finisher Masterpiece
Launches you into the graffiti mural, ink everywhere. Then he signs his work.
Angle-Change Counter-Boxer
“Blink and he’s behind you. Again.”
Rafa never stands in front of you long enough to get hit. Sharp angles, body shots, and loyalty to his people that doesn’t bend.
Signature Crosscut steps off the line. Switchback puts him on the other side of you.
Finisher Wrong Turn
Three hard cuts, you spin three times, and your forehead finds the ONE WAY pole. Now the arrow points the wrong way too.
Defensive Counter-Boxer
“Sixty-something and still running this block.”
Uncle Liang runs the corner store and used to box the whole neighborhood. He waits, he watches, and the second you overcommit, you pay.
Signature No Credit means no free hits. Closing Time means you should’ve gone home.
Finisher Exact Change
Never looks up from his paper. One flicked coin ricochets off your forehead, the store sign drops on you, and he catches the coin blind.
Hit-and-Run
“Baltimore dirt-bike rider. Wheelies up, chain out.”
Slim rides the Baltimore streets with his dirt-bike crew, and the bike chain wrapped around his fist is how he fights. Whips you from range, slides under you, rolls out of trouble.
Signature Chain Fence keeps you out. Pavement Slide takes your ankles.
Finisher Ride Out
His dirt bike rolls in. Wheelie to the chest, flick you into the air, spin 180, and the back wheel bucks you off the screen. “BALTIMORE, BABY!”
Trap Specialist
“Expensive taste. Even more expensive beatings.”
Diamond’s designer bag is loaded, her heels are sharp, and her counter takes your meter like a repo man. Composed, rich, not playing nice.
Signature Asset Seizure stuns you and drains your meter. Compound Interest hits twice.
Finisher Broke B*tch
A handbag flurry knocks the cash out of your pockets. You stagger around dropping money, then land face-down in a pile of it. “BROKE B*TCH!”
Counter-Grappler
“Badge dented. Ethics missing. Tonfa ready.”
Detective Victor “Shakedown” Cross is a fictional crooked cop who wants you to swing first, so he can make you regret it. Slow walk, quick punish.
Signature Probable Cause to poke. Internal Affairs to catch your high attack.
Finisher Off the Record
Grabs you by the collar, presses you overhead and slams you into the dumpster. Then he smashes the security camera. Off the record.
