Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Universal Fighting System was released in 2006 as a collectible card game published by UVS Games. It was rebranded as UniVersus in 2021.
The Universal Fighting System draws characters from original properties and dozens of licensed ones, including Attack on Titan, Solo Leveling, My Hero Academia, Mortal Kombat, Mega Man, Street Fighter, The King of Fighters XIII, and Darkstalkers.
A player wins by reducing the opponent's vitality to 0 using attack cards, which the opponent can try to block with a card from their hand.
A control check is how players pay to play a card in the Universal Fighting System instead of using a fixed resource cost. A player discards the top card of their deck and compares its control value to the card's difficulty. If the control falls short, the player must commit foundation cards equal to the difference or the card is discarded.
UVS Games owns and publishes the Universal Fighting System. Its longtime publisher, Jasco Games, was acquired by POW Interactive Holdings in 2021 after a $20 million funding round, and the company was renamed UVS Games in 2023.
The Universal Fighting System has six card types: Characters, Attacks, Foundations, Assets, Actions, and Backups, each identified by its border color.
