Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer (also known as Choujin Gakuen Gowcaizer) is a 2D fighting game released in 1995 for Arcade by Technōs Japan. Designed with a striking 90s superhero anime aesthetic by Masami Obari, the game pits unique superpowered high-school fighters against each other in fast-paced combat. A standout mechanic is its “Trace System,” which allows the winning player to copy a special move from a defeated opponent to use in subsequent matches.
How to Play
The objective is to deplete your opponent’s health bar in standard best-of-three 1v1 fights. For the browser-based arcade emulator, use Shift to insert coins and Enter to start. Movement, jumping, and crouching are controlled with the Arrow Keys, while attacks are typically mapped to Z, X, A, and S for the game’s four-button layout (Light Punch, Heavy Punch, Light Kick, and Heavy Kick).
Tips
- Take full advantage of the Trace System: whenever you defeat an opponent, you can equip one of their special moves to cover your character’s natural weaknesses.
- Master the game’s defensive mechanics, including dashing and air guarding, to maintain mobility and avoid being pinned down by projectiles.
- Keep an eye on your character’s desperation attacks, which can turn the tide of a battle when your health is critically low.
