A martial arts fighting game that focuses on positioning/strategy vs individual attacks/tactics.

There is a theory in Aikido that difficulty peaks at 3 simultaneous attackers because after that, they will get in each other's way. [1]

So the main objective of the game is to place yourself in the best position and hold/throw enemies in advantageous directions. Actual attacks may be executed automatically for you so you can focus on the strategy.

This somewhat reminds me of super smash bros, which at higher levels of play often revolves around positioning. e.g Maneuvering opponents into areas with few options, maintaining stage control
