X-Struggle

X-Struggle is an upcoming fighting/crossover game for the Nintendo IC, being developed by X-Scissor. It will feature many characters from games by X-Scissor fighting against each other or with each other. The release date is unknown, but it is rumored for mid-2013.

The mascot of the game is considered to be Kaichu.

Gameplay
The game's gameplay is quite similar to the gameplay of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You fight your opponents on a 2D battlefield with similar controls, although you have a health meter. It raises slightly with every attack you make, and goes down with every hit you take. When the meter is completely empty, you have been knocked out.
