Cherry Blossom Season: Enter the Sakura Slam
Set against the backdrop of cherry blossom season, Kabuto Sumo Sakura Slam introduces a tranquil yet thrilling atmosphere. As beautiful sakura petals fall, players, embodying wrestling Kabutomushi (“helmet bugs”), engage in intense competitions to knock opponents off an all-new square arena.
New Mechanics and Features: Pushing Platforms, Fixed Corners, and Tagging Corners
The game introduces innovative mechanics and features to elevate gameplay:
- Notched Pushing Platform: In Sakura Slam, players must strategically push from the corners of the arena, adding a layer of complexity to offensive and defensive maneuvers. This results in fewer stalemates and more dynamic body slams.
- Fixed Corners: Four fixed corner posts stand over each match, influencing aggressive maneuvers and defensive strategies. Players must navigate these corners strategically to gain an advantage.
- Tagging Corners: When pushing from a corner not used before, players place a marker, “tagging” that corner. This tagging mechanic introduces a tactical element, allowing for a second push action immediately. Players must decide when and how to use this power strategically.
