Zodiac Showdown

Synopsis
Many centuries ago, the Chinese water god dragon Gong Gong, tired of running minor tasks for the Emperor, rebelled against Heaven and rampaged across China, dammning up water and polluting the land. However, he was defeated by Zhurong, the god of fire, and was sent into exile at Buzhou Mountain. But Gong Gong has now returned and plans to eradicate all life on Earth and rebuild it in his own image. Concerned about mankind's future, Zhurong needed a special ally to help him in his fight against Gong Gong. To do this, he created the Zodiac Tournament, where those who he randomly chooses partake and the champion gets to ally with him in stopping the dragon god.

Gameplay
The gameplay format is 2.5D. Like Elemental Blitz, there is a mechanic in the game called Zodiac Skills, which consists of two types of moves. One is the Zodiac Effect, which is like the V-Triggers in Street Fighter V. Another is the Zodiac Counter which you can say is like a combo of the V-Reversals in SFV and the Power Crushes in Tekken 7. There is a limit breaker called Zodiac Assault. These are akin to the Rage Arts in Tekken 7 in which your character does an automatic combo technique that then gets followed up by his/her Zodic techniques.

In story mode, after winning six matches, the seventh match is the tournament finals where you fight your rival before moving to the eighth match in which you fight Zhurong. Afterwards, the ninth match will have you, depending on which character, pitted against either Chao Lin, Daji, Xiang Yoa or Xing Tian. After fighting either one of these guys, that's when you fight against Gong Gong. With Gong Gong, you fight him in two rounds just like with the other characters. However, after winning enough rounds, you fight Gong Gong's true dragon form.
