Every match of requires you to pick one of several Kameo characters who can offer the best assistance to your main roster fighter with different abilities. From classic faces to obscure references to older entries in the series, each Kameo is unique from one another. Realizing the full potential of these allies can make battles even against the toughest opponents much easier to challenge.

In addition to the classic Fatality, you can perform a special finishing move called a «Brutality» in to brutally take down your opponent. But these moves have specific button inputs that must be unlocked. Every character and Kameo fighter in the game has multiple Brutalities they can unleash at the end of any match.
