Gameplay Systems
In Urban Champion , players participate in one-on-one street fights , competing with opponents to push each other off the sidewalk and past the edge of the screen. Fighters automatically assume a defensive stance when not attacking, and can raise or lower their arms to shift between blocking and attacking high or blocking and attacking low; the player must strike the area not protected by their opponent's arms to inflict damage and push the opponent back towards the screen's edge. The player has access to two types of attacks: a weak punch, which does less damage and knockback but is faster and therefore harder to defend against; and a strong punch, which does more damage and knockback but takes longer to perform, making it easier to block, dodge or interrupt. Battles use a "best 3-of-5 rounds" format.
At the start of each round, both fighters begin with 200 stamina points. Each punch costs the player one point of stamina to perform, while the weak punch inflicts four points of stamina damage and the strong punch inflicts ten points. A man will occasionally drop flower pots from the windows; if hit by a pot, a fighter will take five points of damage and be temporarily dazed. In addition, a patrol car may pass by at any point in the fight, which causes the fighters to return to their starting positions.
If a fighter runs out of stamina, they become vulnerable and every attack will inflict the same amount of knockback on them as a strong punch. When a fighter is pushed to the edge of the screen, the round ends as they are knocked off the sidewalk onto the street, and the battle shifts to the next block for the next round. Each round also features a 99-second timer; if time runs out before the round is complete, the police will arrest the fighter closest to the edge of the screen, making the other player the winner of the round. When a fighter has lost two rounds, an open sewer manhole appears on the street behind them; the player who successfully pushes their opponent into the manhole is declared the winner, briefly celebrating as a woman showers them with confetti from a window.
The game has two gameplay modes: the single-player Game A, and the multiplayer Game B. In Game A, each time the player knocks their opponent into a manhole, a symbol appears in the bottom corner of the screen denoting their victory. The goal is to earn 45 consecutive victories, at which point the player earns the rank of Champion.
