Kabuto Sumo: Sakura Slam

It's cherry blossom season. As the beautiful sakura petals fall, a calm tranquility lingers in the air. It's the perfect calm before the storm: welcome to the Sakura Slam! In this standalone sequel to Kabuto Sumo , players return as the wrestling Kabutomushi ( helmet bugs ) and compete to knock off their opponents on an all-new square arena. The coin-pushing mechanic returns, but with a new platform, characters, pillars, and powers. New Arena Features: Notched Pushing Platform - In Sakura Slam , you must push from the corners of the arena. That makes it harder to focus completely on defense, as you can t always push your piece away from the edge this means less stalemates and more body slams. Fixed corners - Four fixed corner posts loom over each match. Using these posts, can you better predict how an aggressive maneuver will play out? Alternatively, if you re near the edge: can you rope-a-dope and use the post defensively? Tagging Corners - When you push from a corner you haven t pushed from before, you place a marker, tagging that corner. Place one on each of the four posts to take a second push action immediately. All but two characters are compatible with the original Kabuto Sumo .
