There are three different play modes: Scenario and VS.. In "Scenario" mode, it is very similar to most 1P (or "Arcade") modes seen in many fighting games, except after the player knocks out four opponents, an artwork (or "Card") of the player's selected character shows up, while being unlocked in "Card" mode to view. There is also a timer for showing how long it takes a player to complete the mode. In "VS." mode, two real players play a head-to-head match against each other like in other multiplayer modes of other fighting games.
There is a character option screen that is used for viewing a character while rotating and zooming him or her in and out. Players also can read the character's stats. This feature is also usable during matches by pausing the game. Another feature in the Options menu allows listeners to go to a voice actor/actress screen to view and listen to voice actress data.
