Dan-Ku-Ga is superficially just another Street Fighter clone, of which there was no shortage in '94. However, it brings a suprising amount of original ideas to the table such as expanded air mobility, a unique (to this day, even) juggle system, an honest-to-god training mode, and some very creative toolkits while maintaining tight and responsive controls.
The game is a product of its time to a laughable degree at a glance; yet it proves itself to be far ahead of its time when you actually sit down and give it a try.

This game can be summarized as the Japanese version of Kaiser Knuckle with the following basic changes:

The player can choose between two difficulty levels - Normal or Pro(fessional) - or enter a training mode.

-Gonzales and Azteca are fully playable - except for their slots in the player select screen having no portraits - and have endings. They are now mid-bosses instead of bosses, being the 5th and 9th opponents respectively.

-New colors for backgrounds (including the player select screen) and characters.

-The former --standard character color - also used by the CPU in mirror matches - can be selected with any kick button and the former single alternate color can be selected with the Start button; this is inverted for Gonzales and Azteca.

-Barts' Rolling Smash is now air-only and requires no charge.

-Boggy, Lihua and Marco gained new moves.
