Gameplay

The grappling system in the King of Colosseum series is unique. First a person must perform a grapple (there are several different types including Exploder position, Vertical suplex position, Belly to belly position, and so on). From there the player must press either square, circle, triangle, X or R1 to perform a move from that position at a specific time (the timings can be learned through trial and error or via the Dojo mode). If you press triangle and circle or square and X you could perform a Powerball move - a finisher or very powerful move.
