The Battle Master featured gameplay unlike most fighting games (including its pseudo-prequel Gundam Wing: Endless Duel which was a more traditional fighting game):Mobile suit movement was realistically slow.Repeated damage to a specific body part on an enemy will result in that part's armor breaking.The most distinguishing feature is the lack of a health bar. Instead, a mobile suit had a temperature bar that would fill up as it gets hit. When the bar is full, the mobile suit overheats and is knocked down. When a mobile suit overheats three times, it is knocked out and loses the fight.The standard punch and kick buttons were complemented by a shoot button (for firing beam rifles or machine guns), a weapon button (beam sabers, heat hawks, etc.) and a thrust button that allowed the mobile suit to fly indefinitely.Projectiles were unblockable.Special moves were limited. A mobile suit would have a rapid fire version of the shoot button and one or two unique moves. All special moves drained a bar below the temperature bar that could only be filled by connecting with melee attacks.A mobile suit could dodge into the background to avoid attacks. Some mobile suits, however, cannot dodge but instead can erect a beam barrier that can block projectiles. The barrier can be held indefinitely unless hit by a melee attack.Bosses were massive and filled up nearly half the screen. They could not be knocked back by any attack unless they overheat.Screenshoots :
